She froze. Damn it. Well, he wasn’t an idiot, so it was only a matter of time before he figured it out. “Yes. But it will be fine soon. I just have to wait for the swelling to go down. It will go away eventually.”

“Baby,” he said in a soft voice that made her want to curl up against him and listen to him call her that over and over.

Maybe throw in a good girl or a baby girl now and then. That would be freaking heaven.

Stop it, Keira. That’s not happening right now. You’re not his good girl or his baby girl.

She took in a deep breath. “It will be fine.”

“Now you’re just lying to yourself. You need to get it checked. It’s probably infected.”

More than likely. But that still didn’t mean that anyone was looking at it.

“No.”

His eyebrows rose, and a firm look crossed his face. “You can’t leave it like this.”

“Can too.”

Yeah, she was aware she sounded like a naughty toddler about to have a tantrum. But that’s kind of what she felt like doing.

“You need a dentist.”

“No. I don’t.”

His gaze studied her, and she got the feeling that he saw far more than she was comfortable with him seeing.

“You’re afraid of the dentist.”

She made a scoffing noise. “No.”

“You know, eventually your lying is going to get you into a world of trouble.”

As far as she could tell, her entire life, she was in trouble of one sort or another.

“I don’t like that you’re hurting.”

“You’re a very unusual jailer.”

He sighed. “I prefer to think of myself as a protector. Webb needs to look at your tooth.”

“No.” Because she knew what the other man would say. And she didn’t want to hear it.

“I’ll stay with you,” he promised.

As if that would actually make her better.

Except, it kind of did.

He grabbed out his phone and tapped a message. “He’s on his way.”

“It’s not like he’ll be able to do something, even if there is something wrong,” she pointed out.

“No, but he will be able to give us more of an idea.”

“I’m not going to see a dentist.”

“You’ll do what is necessary for your health.”
