“It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, we’ll deal with it. No matter what it is, all you have to do is tell me and I’ll take care of it.”
“That’s not exactly fair to you.”
He shrugged. He didn’t care about fair. All he wanted was to look after her.
“Whatever you need, whatever you want, all you have to do is ask. Understand me? Just tell me what you need and I’ll get it for you.
She didn’t reply to that, not that he expected her to. This was a lot. It wasn’t long until she was quietly snoring, drooling on his T-shirt.
This right here.
This is what he’d always wanted even if he hadn’t known it.

Zander stared at her through the cameras.
Yeah, he was starting to feel like a complete pervert but he couldn’t make himself stop.
She was freezing him out.
And he fucking hated it. What was worse, he wasn’t sure what to do. He’d tried pushing her, but she clammed up on him. Should he give her space? But that didn’t feel right. What if she thought he was abandoning her?
Fuck. He wished he could ask someone what to do.
She was lying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. It had only been three days since her dental work, but the swelling in her cheek had gone down. She was also moving more freely. He made certain that she took her antibiotics each day and that she ate well. He kept her hydrated, visited often during the day.
And still she wasn’t telling him what she needed.
“Why hasn’t she asked me for anything,” he muttered.
He was ready to give her whatever she wanted. Then he’d be able to show her how he could provide for her. Charlene had always told him when she wanted something.
“Maybe it’s hard for her to ask for what she needs or wants.”
He turned his chair, surprised to find Miles staring straight at him. The other guy looked tired. When was the last time he’d slept?
“You should go to bed, Miles.”
“I’m fine.”
“You look exhausted. Have you been sleeping in here again?”
Miles shrugged. “Few times. She doesn’t seem like the type to ask for much. If you want my advice, and let’s face it you probably don’t since I’m no good with other people, she’s not going to ask. You’re going to have to figure it out.”
Right. He needed to figure it out.
“I promised her a reward for going to the dentist,” he murmured. He’d been thinking along the lines of giving her several orgasms with his tongue. However, she wasn’t ready for that.
But what if there was something else she wanted and wouldn’t ask for? He thought that through.
“Miles, you’re a genius.”
“I know,” Miles said simply.

Lord,she was sick of these four walls.
