CHAPTER FIFTEEN

KRYSTA

Billie pulled out her wallet and the key from her pocket, her free hand dropping by her side. I'd wanted to touch her since we'd left, but it had been pretty impossible the way Billie was pushing me back to the hotel. Now, with her next to me, I did what I would have done if I hadn't been in a wheelchair. I picked up her hand and touched the inside of her wrist with my lips, right on the blooming rose of her tattoo.

Billie sucked in a breath. The door beeped. She didn't move.

I brought her fingertips to my lips and kissed each one. I pulled her middle finger into my mouth and sucked on it, my eyes glued to every twitch of her face.

Billie leaned against the door. Even fully clothed, her body amazed me.

I released her finger and pulled on her arm so she would lean closer. She yielded, her eyes shut, her short breaths making the wisps of hair around her face flutter. I pushed her hair behind her ears, but it fell over her again like a silk curtain.

"I hate it," she whispered.

"Then why don't you cut it?" I whispered back.

"Ed wanted it long."

"Fuck Ed."

Our lips met, and at a moan from Billie, I let myself go. My hand flew to her waist, pushing down past the waistband of her jeans for a full palm of skin. The elevator dinged. Billie pulled away first. She turned, panting, pushed her key into the door and hip-checked it open. I rolled in after her, practically mowing her down.

The door snicked shut behind us and before I could reach for her again, she leaned down and scooped me from my chair. I clung to her through the throbbing pressure of my feet in my air casts. She set me down on the bed gently. I held her to me, kissing her fiercely, trying desperately to wipe out the pain. Using all my strength, I spread my legs. Billie settled between them, but on her way, clipped my foot.

The pain radiated through my body. In a reaction I couldn't control if you had a gun to my head, my whole being clenched.

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry," Billie's voice said through the buzz in my ears. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's fine," I said, forcing my jaw to unhinge.

"Do you want me to get Tanya?" Billie asked.

I felt the bed bounce with her movements. "No… please, just… wait a minute, okay?"

I don't know how long I spent tensed, but when it started to subside, I opened my eyes to see Billie standing by the side of the bed with her arms crossed.

"I shouldn't have pushed you like that. I got carried away," she said.

"It's fine." It was more important now than ever that I smile at her, that I try to convey to her I meant what I said. "That happens at least twice a day. It's just par for the course these days."

"I hate to see you like that.
