Chapter 7

Stacey woke up the next morning, her body stiff and achy from head to toe. She remembered falling asleep on the couch, yet she was in a bed now. Killian must have moved me. She laid still for a long moment, as she tried to assess if anything else had happened. But she figured it was just from the rough ride away from the hotel and from the added psychological stress of moving from one location to another. She slowly sat up, pushing aside the bedcovers and swinging her injured leg outward to drop to the floor, gauging her strength levels. She made her way to the bathroom, wincing as she realized the bandage was covered in blood again. She hadn’t gotten it changed last night, and now she needed a shower, and it would obviously have to come off.

She studied it for a long moment. What the heck. She might as well have a shower and take it off there. After all, getting it wet first made taking off the bandage less painful. Then Killian could rebandage it fresh, after she got dressed. It was morning outside, and she heard the birds, and the sun shone brightly. She turned on the shower, and, as soon as it was hot and ready, she stepped in, with the bloody bandage still affixed. She scrubbed her body down, avoiding the bandage on most of her thigh, taking the time to lather her hair twice, letting the water sluice down her face and onto her back. She already felt better as she got clean again.

On the whole, the incision looked decent though. She let the water soak down into the wound and around, cleaning it up. The hot water felt good, easing the tension in her leg. As soon as she was done, she grabbed one of the towels and dried off as much as she could, patting around the wound. Then she wrapped one towel around her hair, while she grabbed another for her body.

As soon as she made her way back to her bedroom, she laid out what she had for clothing and managed to get partially dressed in a T-shirt and panties. She chose shorts again, as she didn’t have any other clothes that allowed for the bandaging to be done. Slowly she managed to slip the shorts up over her injured leg. Now fully dressed and in need of a fresh bandage, she straightened up her room, then headed to find the guys. She was still braiding her hair as she walked into the kitchen.

Both men sat there, and they looked up in surprise.

“What?” she said. “Were you expecting me to sleep later?”

“That, and the fact that you’re walking so easily,” Killian said.

She nodded. “The hot shower helped a lot.”

He got up and took a closer look at the leg. “It
