emphatically.
He was not crapping in some little pot for her to scrub out. Not
today, not tomorrow— not ever .
“Your bathrooms aren’t wheelchair accessible,” she
argued.
“Just get me to the door, and I’ll take care of the
rest.”
“And what if you have to go during the night?”
“Hey—” Luke raised his good hand and smirked. “If
you want the job as my nurse, you’ll just have to get your cute
little tush out of bed and take me to the john.”
He could easily hop his way into the bathroom, but
that would defeat his whole plan to drive her crazy. The more
helpless he played it, the sooner he could convince her she didn’t
want any part of a relationship with him.
Sabrina wasn’t the most cheerful person when she
first woke up. Two or three nights of being rousted out of bed
several times should prove to her she was much better off marrying
Ben. “Of course....you can always hire someone else if it’s a
problem for you.”
“If I’m going to have kids, I might as well get used
to being woken up every night. You’d better include a baby monitor
in that order,” she told Ben.
BJ chuckled and glanced at his watch. “I’ve gotta
get going. I told Tyler to reschedule our meeting with the Powell
guys for three. I’ll have Thomas drive Mopsy down here sometime
tomorrow.”
“Tell him to make it early,” Sabrina told him. “Once
the medical supply place delivers the wheelchairs, I’m taking the
patient for a ride to pick up some things from my apartment.”
“Unh-uh.” Luke shook his head. “I’ll drive. You’re
riding.”
“I don’t think so.” Sabrina flashed a victorious
grin at him. “Not unless your Jeep has recently had a transmission
transplant and is now automatic.”
Damn. He’d forgotten Sabrina didn’t have her car,
and they’d have to take his SUV, which Cal had promised to drop off
that evening.
“Shit,” Luke muttered under his breath. There was no
way he could safely work the clutch in a cast. He winced as he
tried to open his right hand, which was wrapped in a thick Ace
bandage. It would probably hurt too much to steer anyway.
“I’ll call you.” Ben brushed her lips with a tender
kiss. “Oh, and by the way”—he smirked at Luke—“when I told Ty what
happened to you, he said Sabrina should bring you out to visit one
day next week. Annie will give you and little Jillian joint lessons
in looking both ways when you cross the street.”
“ Hardee-har-har . When you see Tyler, give him
a message from me.” Luke flipped BJ the bird. “And be sure to keep
some of that for yourself.”
While Sabrina stood at the back door and waved to
Ben as he climbed into the taxi he’d kept waiting, Luke studied the
way her black yoga pants hugged her rounded bottom. He let his gaze
wander down the length of her shapely legs and shifted his
hips.
Spending the rest of the month with Sabrina would be
a living hell. He would have enough trouble getting his dick out of
his fly without help, let alone trying to relieve his frustration
left-handed.
He stared down at his toes peeking out of the
fiberglass cast and cursed under his breath. This was just
fabulous. He couldn’t even take a freaking cold shower without her
help.
CHAPTER 4
Sabrina had waited a lifetime for the chance to get
Luke alone for more than ten uninterrupted minutes. Now that she
had, she didn’t have the foggiest idea what to say or do.
While she studied Luke’s battered face, her mind
raced, trying to formulate a coherent thought to utter. The dark
shadows under his eyes and his cuts and bruises made him look as if
he’d gone ten rounds in a boxing ring and come out the loser.
Luke mercifully broke the uncomfortable silence.
“Dusty needs to be fed. He hasn’t eaten since last night. His
food’s in the laundry room.”
“Okay.” She headed to collect the food, and at the
door, she turned back to him. “You’d better call your mom. You’ll
catch hell if she finds out about your
