âI think I should sleep in the spare bedroom.â
âNope.â
âBut what if I canât sleep beside you?â
âYou did just fine last night,â he replied before lifting her off the bathroom counter and carrying her into the bathroom.
âWhat if you canât sleep?â she asked as he set her down on the side of the bed. She should have asked Xavier whether he thought it was necessary for Ed to carry her everywhere just because of a small cut on her foot.
Of course, that was assuming Ed would listen to Xavier. Even though heâd totally overreacted over her sore tummy, heâd still insisted on taking her temperature every half hour.
Yeah, he wouldnât listen.
Theyâd watched the rest of the movie and had a lighter dinner. Her stomach had been fine once the antacids started working. Ed had spent some time working while sheâd had a bath. With her foot wrapped up.
Now he was insisting that they sleep in the same bed. Okay, sure, technically theyâd slept together last night. But sheâd been totally out of it. This was completely different.
âYour job isnât to worry about me, Georgie-girl.â
She frowned at that as he tucked her into bed. âThen what is my job, sugar plum?â
He gave her a look. âTo do as youâre told, of course.â
Indignation rose inside her. âEd!â
He grinned. âYour job is to stop worrying so much. To relax. Let me look after you.â
âMy job is tough.â
âThatâs why you donât need to be worrying over me,â he told her.
She chewed at her lip as she watched him move around the room, getting ready. She was dressed in another of his T-shirts. She knew she should ask for her own clothes. But she liked wearing his.
Suddenly, he sat beside her. Grabbing her hand, he ran his finger around the palm. She sucked in a breath and raised her gaze to his.
âGood girl,â he murmured then leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was soft. Gentle. But it still stole the thoughts from her head, sending them tumbling through her brain until she couldnât grasp hold of them.
When he drew back, his chocolate eyes were warm. âWhatâs your real worry, my girl?â
âThat Iâll have a nightmare,â she told him.
âAnd if you did? What would be so terrible? What would be the worst-case scenario?â
The worst-case scenario? âI donât know. That Iâll wake you up? Maybe thrash around and hit you?â
âWhat happens if you wake me up?â
Was this a trick question. âUmm, I interrupt your sleep.â
âSo then my sleep will get interrupted,â he said calmly. As though it was no big deal.
âWonât you be annoyed? Angry? My mother used to hate when Iâd wake her with my screams.â
âIâd be more upset if you had a nightmare and didnât wake me up,â he told her. âIf you suffered through it on your own without asking for help.â
She sucked in a breath. âIâm not good at asking for help.â
He reached up and undid the bun sheâd put her hair in to have a bath. âI know. Iâm going to help you with that.
