CHAPTER TEN

I was in a different room, in a different bed. Everything seemed bigger.

But I couldn’t focus on much beyond Alex’s absurdly handsome face grinning back at me. Fuck. He looked way better than the image I’d held in my memory of him. And he was shirtless again.

Double fuck.

A quick survey of my person revealed I was thankfully dressed in pajamas and that he was wearing some form of lounge or sleep pants as well. Still, we were in bed together … probably his bed … alone … under the covers.

Instantly I regretted leaving the safety of my coma. This could only get weird fast.

“How do you feel?” he asked, his expression boyish—giddy with excitement like a kid on Christmas morning who’d just unwrapped the present he’d wanted most.

“Um … good?” I answered uncertainly, testing out the vocal chords I’d not used for what seemed like days.

His grin broadened, as if I’d just said something outrageously brilliant or amusing.

Oh, God … it was already weird.

I reached up to palpate the top of my head, feeling for the site of my injury. There was nothing. No scab or lump, no sensation of tenderness, and no scar.

I frowned. “How long has it been?”

“A little more than thirty-six hours.”

That was all? “How did I heal so fast?” I remembered Kai saying my injuries were worse.

“Your injuries were worse,” he agreed in answer to my unvoiced thought. “You also lost a lot of blood. So I had Kai give you some of mine, which helped heal you faster.”

“We’re the same blood type?” As soon as I said it, I felt like the world’s greatest bimbo.

“No.” He smiled and shook his head, gazing indulgently down at me like I was the most adorable thing he’d ever seen. “Not even close.”

Shit. I’d woken up in an alternate universe.

“Is that safe?” I blurted.

“Well, how do you feel?” he countered with a wry grin, rather than answer the question.

In truth, I felt good. Really good. Alert and well rested. My vision seemed clearer than it had ever been. In fact, all my senses seemed strangely sharpened and improved. My body felt perfectly healthy and ache-free. And surprisingly … clean, I noted, as well. I ran my tongue over the inside of my mouth. Even my teeth felt clean.

“I took the liberty of bathing and caring for you while you were resting,” Alex announced, once again in answer to my unspoken train of thought.

My eyes flew wide and my stomach turned over. I prayed he was just being a dick and teasing me. I held my breath and waited for the punch line.

He frowned. “Your hair was matted with blood, Milena.”

I remembered how in my altered state of awareness I’d been floating in the watery clouds with him, thinking I was dead … and naked. Lord help me, he was serious that he’d actually bathed me!

Alex had seen me naked. And while I’d been unconscious!

“Don’t worry, I was a gentleman,” he reassured. “I looked, but didn’t touch anywhere I thought might upset your prudish human sensibilities.
