Zane woke up to a whispered argument. He could feel Abby was still in the bed next to him, but she didn’t sound happy. Zane kept his eyes closed and listened.

“What the hell is he doing here, Ma?”

“He was in the hospital, and to be honest, honey, I don’t think we’d have been able to shake him even if we wanted to.”

“So explain to me why the hell he’s in my bed.”

“Ah well, Laney mentioned you two were…err…close, so I didn’t see the harm.”

Zane sent a mental thank you to Laney.

“I’m actually going to kill her.”

“Now, now, she’s family, and she loves you.”

“Yet she does everything in her power to embarrass me.”

The bed moved as Abby lay back down. It felt as if she tried to be as far away from him as she could. He wasn’t happy with that, and neither was his tiger.

“I’ll be back with some breakfast soon. Be nice to him, Abby; he was worried.”

The door closed as Emily left the room. As soon as it shut, Zane reached out and pulled her back into his chest.

“Hey!”

“Shh, I’m sleeping.” He scooted down the bed until he could rest his head on her chest.

“Now what are you doing?”

“Getting comfortable. Your tits are so soft, just perfect for my head.”

“Zane, my mother is coming back any second. You need to get off me.” Abby tried to push him away, but he wasn’t ready to move.

“I’m comfortable.”

“You’ll be less comfortable when I start twisting things that shouldn’t be twisted if you don’t move.”

He grumbled and made a great show of moving off of her and lying on his back.

“Thank you.”

They lay in silence for a few minutes. Zane saw her biting her lower lip out of the corner of his eye, a sign she was thinking—which never led to anything good as far as he was concerned.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, trying to distract her.

“Better, thank you. Who knew I had such a glass jaw?” She gave a soft laugh.

“Yeah well, he wasn’t exactly fighting fair.” Considering the amount of drugs coursing through the scum’s veins, if he was honest, Zane was surprised she wasn’t more hurt.

“Thank you for staying with me. My mother says you were at the hospital. I’m sorry they called you. Laney seems to think there’s more between us than one little night of fun. I’ll straighten her out, and I’ll get you your own room…assuming you still have to stay…please don’t think you have to…you can leave at any time. I am so sorry they did this. I could die. I’m so embarrassed.” She’d spoken with practically a single breath.

He was impressed. Not only had she thanked him for his help, but she’d given him a way out and dismissed him all at once.

Zane rolled to his side, so he could see her better. He reached out and brushed the hair out of her face. The color was creeping up her cheeks, and she looked adorable.

“Hey, stop.” He caught her chin, forcing her to look at him.
