played with
her hair while she drifted off again. I probably should let dad know she had
woken up but I wasn't leaving her. Never again.

Chapter

    I must've dozed
off because I woke to her staring at me. I took a deep breath and enfolded her
closer to me, throwing my leg over both of hers. Fuck, that's the way we
usually woke in the mornings. I tried drawing away from her but she wasn't
having that shit.
    "Please
don't." She burrowed into me like she was trying to crawl into my fucking
body. So I held on tighter.
    We still had a
lot of shit to work out but she needed me, I didn't want her disappearing in
her head again that shit was scary as fuck.
    It felt good as
fuck to hold her like this again and I could pretend I was doing this for her,
but I knew it was as much for me as it was her.
    I kissed the
top of her head as she drenched my shirt with her tears. How the fuck could
someone who was dehydrated have so many tears inside? Fuck if I know. I held
her through her crying jag rubbing her back in comfort all the while. I'm
thinking now wasn't such a good time to talk.
    She was so weak
she couldn't stay awake she drifted in and out of sleep for the rest of the
morning. I had relocked the door a while ago and there was a lot of traffic out
there, I had heard first her dad and then the twins trying to get in but I
didn't get up to let them in, there was some grumbling and loud voices but I
didn't give a fuck. They better not wake her the fuck up, just saying.
    I texted Brian
to keep everyone the fuck away and I guess he was doing his job because that
shit had quieted down. I had my phone on vibrate, I didn't need to talk to any
fucking one, the only person I gave two fucks about right now was right here
next to me, the rest of the world could go fuck itself. That shit had been
buzzing away like fuck for the last half hour though, I guess I should see what
the fuck was up, it could be Brian, though I think if it was that important he
would've come to the door.
    I had a fuck
load of text from that O’Reilly broad fuck was her problem? Maybe she was looking
for butterfly; fuck if I was going to tell her where she was. Bitch had dropped
the fucking ball, first chance I get I’m firing her ass. It was her
responsibility to protect my girls' public image she had done a bang up fucking
job now hadn't she? I don't believe in half ass work you failed at your job
find another line of work. I wouldn't pay that bitch to walk Rex.
    Angry much
there Maddox? I probably should cut her some slack, after all my own publicist
didn't do much in the way of protecting my ass either. What a fucking cluster
fuck.

    Suzette finally
woke up for the last time around one, just in time for lunch I was going to
force feed her if I had to. Her I V was just about done anyway, time to let dad
do his thing. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes with a big yawn and a stretch.
Damn she'd lost way too much weight at least my ass was still in tact. What? So
I might've copped a feel, or two. It was a whole week and a half since I had
any that was a long dry spell for a guy who never went without.
    "Gage?"
    "Yeah?"
I was absently playing with her hair the way I usually did.
    "Are you,
are we...uhmm." She bit her lip in that way that drove me fucking nuts, I
know she wasn't doing it to get me all riled up but damn, I had no control over
that shit. Like Pavlov's fucking dog I followed that action until she released
it.
    "Are we
okay?"
    "Uh,
no." The fuck? I gave her the crinkle brows like she was stupid; how could
she even think that shit? Did she think because she had me by the balls I was a
pushover? She knew me better than that.
    I eased her out
of my arms and got off the bed, time to put some distance between us.
    "How could
you even think that?" She started that sniffling shit again but I was
determined this time not to let it sway me. I knew lying down in that bed was a
huge mistake. Fuck.
    "I don't
know, I...I guess you're ready to
