Alex was thinking inappropriate thoughts but he didn’t care, they were helping him ignore the sterile, overly disinfected smell of the private hospital room he was sitting in. His chair had not been designed for comfort, so he also needed his mind taken off the uncomfortable numb feeling in his arse cheeks. He wondered absently what pins and needles would feel like in that area and shifted uncomfortably.

Next to him, Conor was propped up in bed, cushioned by at least four large pillows, looking pale and incredibly beautiful. Alex glowered as yet another young nurse bustled into the room and felt his boyfriend’s pulse. So far there had been pillow plumping—twice. Blood pressure checks, a fresh water jug, blinds being opened then closed again, and drugs administered. Alex was fairly sure that all but the latter visit had been completely superfluous and if one more person laid so much as a finger on Conor, they were likely to end up in the next ward on life support.

“You should save that scowl for the bastard that hit me.”

Alex blinked and looked into sparkling green eyes. “Sorry, I can’t help it. I’m relieved that there’s no serious damage and I want to take you home. Do you think they’ll let us take one of those gowns with us? The kind that doesn’t do up properly at the back?”

Conor laughed then winced. “Stop! Laughing hurts! I want to go home too—as soon as the doc comes back, I’ll ask for a discharge.”

“If the doctor won’t let you out of here, I’ll kidnap you. There are far too many people pawing you.”

“They’re just doing their jobs, love.”

Alex grunted. “You are such an innocent. I want you home where I can keep an eye on you. It’s exactly the same as the last time you were in hospital. Hordes of nurses with nothing better to do than feel you up.” He leered. “And that’s my job.” He stood up and stretched. “I hate hospitals. I hate you being in hospital, which, I might add, happens far too often.”

“Twice, Alex. It’s happened twice. Well, since you’ve known me anyway.” Conor didn’t make eye contact.

“I don’t want to know about any previous injuries or battering experiences you’ve had. That will just make me want to lock you in a nice, safe padded cell.”

“You take over-protective to a whole new hemisphere.”

“And I make no apologies for it. Someone just attempted to kill you—someone who knew our routine. If you come home, you will not be left alone. No arguments.”

Conor gave a pained sigh. “There’s no need for you to babysit me. I’ll be quite happy and perfectly safe at home alone—you need to go into work anyway.”

Alex crossed his arms. “There is absolutely no way that I’m leaving you alone. Deal with it.”

“But…”

“But nothing. Don’t argue with me, Conor. It’s not going to happen.”

Conor rolled his eyes. “I have a few bruises. That’s all.”

“You have severe bruising, a possible concussion and your shoulder has just been shoved back into its socket.
