“The last thing Darac needs is to have a sick mate. And you are going to get sick unless you take better care of yourself. Now, I will find you a spare bed and you will take a long nap. Understood?”
“Damn, you’re just as bad as the rest of them. You just hide it better, huh?”
“That is right. I am a knee-and-hill.”
She grinned and some red entered her pale cheeks. “Yeah, you are, you Neanderthal. But you’re a pretty sweet one and Lucy is a lucky girl.”
He just hoped that she saw it that way.
Chapter Six
Damn, she was thirsty. Without opening her eyes, because the pain enveloping her head meant that would be a very bad idea, she reached out, searching for the bottle of water she usually kept on her side table.
“Lucy? Are you awake?”
Was that Thor? What was he doing in her bedroom? Holy heck, had she finally given in to her urges and taken him to bed? Oh my God, why couldn’t she remember? Had it been that bad that she’d blocked it out? Had she been so drunk, she’d lowered her inhibitions and that was the reason for the shards of glass piercing her brain?
“Thor?”
She attempted to open her eyes, but the glaring light against her eyes sent agony waves through her head. Her stomach rolled and she fought against the urge to vomit. Quickly, she shut her eyes.
“Are you well?”
No. No she was not well. She was in crippling agony.
Not his fault, though. At least she didn’t think it was.
“Need water. Headache.”
“Here. I will hold a straw to your mouth. I’ll also get you an oral pain inhibitor.” She gratefully sipped on the water then opened her mouth and swallowed the pain inhibitor.
“Just lie there for a moment. The inhibitor should work soon.”
Normally, when she was in this much pain with a migraine, she couldn’t stand any noise, but Thor’s voice was almost soothing. He kept it low and quiet.
Incredibly sexy.
Really, she should not be thinking of sex right now. She couldn’t even open her damn eyes. How did she think she was going to manage anything more adventurous? It had been years since she’d had sex. She wasn’t even sure she would remember how. She’d kind of locked that part of her away, certain that she would never want sex again after Ricardo.
She pushed all thought of Ricardo aside as the pain inhibitor began to chase the pain of the migraine away. Slowly, she opened her eyes, blinking to bring Thor into focus. The lights had been dimmed, thankfully. Even though the pain was muted, her eyes were still too tender for bright light.
“Where am I?”
This wasn’t her bedroom. She turned her head slowly as she heard a soft beeping and realised there was a machine next to her. There was something strapped to her hand. Was she being monitored?
“We are in the medical ward of the ship.”
“What happened?”
“You do not remember?” He quickly hid his alarm behind an impassive face.
She thought back. What was the last thing she remembered? “I did a search for Mila. But I wasn’t sure where she was. So I insisted on searching for Koran. Then I…” Oh crap, she’d told him. Told him one of her biggest secrets. No, it wasn’t the only secret she carried. Not even the worse one. But it was one of the most devastating.
She stared at him, trying to discern his thoughts. “Why are you here? Is it because you’re my doctor?”
He raised his eyebrows. “No. Tae is currently caring for you. Although I wish it could be me, I would need to touch you and I did not wish to begin the mating process without your awareness.”
“But I cannot be your mate. Thor, do you not remember?” Please don’t tell her she had to tell him all over again. She just wasn’t strong enough for that.
Except she’d have to be strong enough. Cause no one else was going to do it.
“That you told me you were barren? I remember. It does not mean we are not mates.”
“But it has to. Why would someone who cannot have children be your
