Pleasure Extraordinaire 2 (PURSUIT) (24 page)
Bree gets off the bed and pulls a chair to sit, without letting go of Adam’s hand.
I walk toward the bed, to the side where he was shot, trying to imagine the deep hole
in his chest. Will he have a scar for life? An irrevocable gift from me.
“It’s all my fault,” I whisper and bite my lips.
“Why?” He frowns. “Did you hire the guys to first beat you up and then shoot at me?”
“Of course not, silly.” I roll my eyes slowly for an effect, biting my lips to conceal
my smile.
I glance at Bree, whose face is now wet with tears, and motion her to the door. “We
should let Adam rest.” She gets up and leans down over the bed. I stare at her in
total shock when she plants a kiss on Adam’s cheek before leaving.
As soon as Bree is at the door, I run my fingers softly on the back of Adam’s hand.
He doesn’t miss the chance to grab my hand and squeezes it. “I’m sorry about the party.”
I think for a moment to remember what he’s sorry about. “Ah, long forgotten. It wasn’t
your fault anyway. I’m an emotional wreck, and I’ve come to terms with it.”
“The nurse told me that you gave me blood.”
I shrug it off. What is a pint of blood compared to him saving my life?
“Like I was singing to you last night; I’ve got you under my skin.” He closes his
eyes, but a teasing smile stays on his lips. I shake my head in shock, wishing I had
the guts to kiss his lips just to show him he’s not the only one who can play this
game. But, I’m a coward. Have always been, will always be.
