was about to leave when she remembered my socks.
    She knew I liked to wear those fuzzy hospital socks.
    I watched her tucking my feet back under the covers.
    “You didn’t finish.”
    She looked up, looking adorably frazzled. I knew she wanted to be anywhere but here at this moment.  
    Tough shit.
    I stared at her steadily.
    She turned red, knowing exactly what I meant.
    She hadn’t washed my cock for me.

Lexi

    I licked my lips nervously. I knew what he was talking about. Trent- Mr. Davis- had managed to completely fluster me.
    And I didn’t fluster easily.
    “I will send someone in to do that if you want. I can’t right now.”
    “You will send in someone to wash my dick? A cock washer?”
    I let out a startled laugh. It sounded so silly when he put it that way. I didn’t understand how could he be so comfortable after what had just happened.
    No.
    What had almost happened.
    I had barely diverted disaster.
    Who was I kidding? It had been my beeper that stopped that kiss. Barely.
    By a fucking thread.
    My lips were still warm from being so close to his.
    “Mr. Davis-“
    “Trent. You said it before. It’s my name. Say it.”
    I opened my mouth in surprise.
    He was pissed.
    He was pissed that I hadn’t kissed him.
    Or washed his cock.
    His enormous, beautiful cock.
    I shook my head. I should not be thinking these things.
    “Trent. It is normal for a patient to develop- an attachment to his or her caregiver. I promise you, the instant you leave the hospital, you will forget I even exist.”
    “I highly fucking doubt that.”
    I blinked at him.
    He did seem pretty damn sure of himself.
    “I- I have to go. I’m sorry. Please-“
    He grabbed my wrist as I passed him. His hand was warm and strong. His thumb brushed against my palm, sending delicious tingles spiraling through my body.
    With his hand.
    Just his hand.
    “Please what?”
    I swallowed nervously. I looked at him. I was begging. I knew it. I was ashamed of my weakness.
    But I was weak. I would fall, if he kept pushing me towards the edge.
    “I have work to do- a job. It’s important. People are counting on me- I-“
    I felt my eyes starting to well up with tears.
    I did the only thing I could think of in that moment.
    I ran.

Chapter Seven
    Trent

    I was getting to her. I knew it.
    Lexi had smiled at me today. A real smile. And not one out of pity. And not because I’d said something stupid.
    No, I’d just told her how much I was enjoying her books.
    That smile felt like the sun breaking through the clouds on a rainy day.
    Oh yeah, I was in trouble.
    And for some stupid reason, I could not stop smiling. It was a big day, in more ways than one. I’d been here almost three weeks. Three weeks of sitting on my ass, plotting and planning on how to break down the Ice Queen’s walls.  
    It was working.
    But it wasn’t just that.
    Today, I got to walk. It was hard as fuck. It hurt, especially my leg where it had gotten chewed up. But it was also the most God damned liberating thing I’d done in my life.
    Basically, today was the best day of my life.
    That might be hard to believe considering my lifestyle, but it was true. I had actually come to appreciate the little things. And I didn’t even want a drink to celebrate.
    Or a line.
    I just wanted to walk up to Lexi and carry her off somewhere to have my way with her. My very, very thorough way with her.
    I wasn’t quite up to carrying anyone away yet.
    But soon.
    It was late but I couldn’t sleep. I was off pain meds, other than basic anti-inflammatories. And I was too excited to lay still.
    I eased my feet to the floor and reached for the cane. It was a clunky metal thing, not the pimped out sort of cane I would have chosen for myself.
    Carved wood. Maybe with a dragon on top. Or a snake.
    Ha.
    I limped into the hallway and looked both ways for my prey. There she was. Sitting at the nurses’ station.
    Doing paperwork or monitoring the sleeping patients presumably.
    I was still for a moment, just
