CHAPTER 19

Nicole

ONCE DAMIAN WAS asleep, I made use of the ridiculously-large-for-being-on-an-airplane shower, and changed into a pair of sleep shorts and a lightweight cotton T-shirt.

I was going to stay with him in case he needed anything, and truthfully, I was pretty tired myself.

I hadn’t slept much the night before. After I’d gotten everything packed, I’d still been restless when I’d finally hit my bed.

I left a dim nightlight on in the bathroom in case he needed to get up, and then opened the bathroom door, careful not to make enough noise to rouse Damian.

The bedroom was completely dark, but my heart skittered as I remembered exactly what Damian had looked like right before he’d hit that king-sized mattress.

Had I really stripped him down to a pair of boxer briefs without thinking about the wisdom of getting a man like Damian naked?

Yes, I had, and I’d do it all over again if necessary.

My heart had ached at the vulnerability I’d glimpsed in his eyes before he’d closed them in the cabin.

For once, he hadn’t been issuing orders, or hiding behind a haughty billionaire façade.

He’d simply been a guy in pain, one who obviously suffered horribly from debilitating stress headaches, and tried to carry on like nothing was wrong.

I’d recognized the signs immediately because my mother had been plagued by the same symptoms when all of her responsibilities of being a single mother and the only breadwinner had overwhelmed her.

Damian’s normally warm, naturally tanned skin had been so ashen that it was a little bit scary, and lines of tension and pain had marred his strong facial features.

I’d followed the gut-wrenching instinct to help him, no matter what it took to achieve that.

So, yeah, after I’d gotten him something to take that would help him a lot more than aspirin, I had dragged him into the bathroom for a hot shower.

When he’d finally emerged from the master bath, his color had come back, but his exhaustion had still been completely evident, so I’d insisted he sleep.

Honestly, it kind of pissed me off that Damian had been willing to suffer in silence.

A bit of a headache, my ass!

The stubborn man looked like he hadn’t slept in days. Damian Lancaster had reached his breaking point, whether he wanted to admit it or not.

He was apparently there for everyone in his family, and for all of his employees, but I had to wonder: who in the world was there for Damian Lancaster?

I straightened my spine. Me. I’ll be there to make sure he takes care of himself.

If no one else was going to look after the obstinate man, I would. If no one else could see that he wasn’t a robot, and that he occasionally needed to sleep, eat, and take care of himself like any other human, I’d remind him that he wasn’t completely invincible.

I let out a soft sigh as I replayed what I’d uncovered as I’d stripped the clothes from his massive, drool-worthy body.

I’d tried not to think about that. I really had.
