CHAPTER

TWELVE

STELLA

Smelling the antiseptic smell of the hospital has me groaning. I slowly open my eyes, confirming I’m in a hospital bed. Great. Just what I need. I roll my head against the pillow tilting slightly to the side, seeing Angel sitting there—head bent, elbows braced on his knees.

Memories of what happened hit me, and I immediately feel sick to my stomach.

“What are you doing here?” I rasp, clearing my throat.

Angel whips his head back, his eyes coming to mine. “Thank fuck.” The words come out gravelly and rough, like he’s got emotions bottled up inside him that he’s afraid to let loose. Coming out of his seat, he’s at my side, cupping my cheek. “You scared the hell out of me, Love. I could’ve lost you. You and our baby. And I don’t think I could bare to ever do that.”

“The baby’s okay?” The question comes with tears welling in my eyes. I could’ve lost the baby.

“Yeah, Stella, baby, our kid’s okay.” He reassures me, stroking my cheek, swiping at the tears spilling down them. “You’re both gonna be okay.”

Nodding, I remember the reason behind it all in the first place.

“Were you with Juniper today?” I blurt out.

“Fuck, no,” he answers without hesitation and narrows his gaze. “I would never do that to you.”

Seeing the truth in his eyes, I sigh. “I’m sorry.”

“Why’re you sorry?”

“Because I thought you were. Because she . . . you . . . she’s beautiful, way more than me. And I’m not as experienced in things like her,” I ramble. “She was in your room on the bed, and she looked like . . .” I don’t get to finish explaining due to Angel pressing his lips to mine, stopping me from going further.

The kiss is short and meant to silence me, but it’s also tender and sweet.

Angel lifts his head enough for us to lock eyes. “Never would I touch that bitch. Not when I’ve got you. She’s got nothing on the way you look. Pure beauty. Class. Smart. And the most gorgeous woman in my eyes. Dark silky hair, beautiful bright eyes, and a body that has me getting hard every time I look at you.” He kisses me once more, pulls away, and sits on the edge of the bed at my side. “Now tell me what happened at the clubhouse to make you leave when I told you to hang there.”

Diverting my gaze, I wring my fingers in the blanket. My body aches, and my head is pounding something fierce. I take a breath breathing out heavily and tell him everything that happened. Starting with going to the kitchen and letting my brother and Isabelle know what the results were. He tenses when I get the part about going to his room ready for a nap when I saw Juniper. I lift my gaze to meet his, my breath nearly catching in my chest at the sight of the intensity in his gaze. By the time I finish explaining the wreck, he looks ready to blow.
