Excerpt

I figured out Katā€™s schedule, so I know this is her last round before she heads home. I may have only met her days ago, but I feel like Iā€™ve known her forever. I can already pick up on her little quirks and habits that make her so fucking interesting.

ā€œHey,ā€ I call softly.

Kat stops her fidgeting and lifts her head. ā€œEverything okay? Do you need something?ā€

I pause and get a good look at her vivid blue eyes. Sheā€™s such a knockout, and she doesnā€™t even realize it. ā€œCan we just talk for a minute?ā€ I tap the bed next to me for her to sit down.

ā€œOf course.ā€ She approaches me, ignoring my signal, and sits down in the chair next to my bed. ā€œWhatā€™s going on?ā€ She leans forward, giving me all of her attention, and my head swims. Katā€™s complete focus is potent.

ā€œIā€™ve had a rough day, and I just wanna hear your voice is all.ā€

ā€œWhy was it rough?ā€ She smiles, leaning in farther.

ā€œMy PT sucked,ā€ I admit. ā€œI feel like Iā€™m regressing. Nothing is improving. Not my headaches, not my anger issues, and definitely not my body. I took it out on the guys.ā€

ā€œIā€™m sure they understand. You had a traumatic brain injury, Sam. Itā€™s not a small thing.ā€

I reach my hand out to her, and she takes it, squeezing so I know itā€™s my turn to talk.

ā€œEvery time I wake up, I keep hoping Iā€™ll feel like myself again. Normal. But Iā€™m different now. I canā€™t manage my emotions at all. Iā€™m angry all the fucking time. No one knows how to deal with it, especially me.ā€ Tears prick my eyes and, goddamnit, I am not going to cry right now. I squeeze her hand.

ā€œYou need to be kinder to yourself, Sam. You are strug- gling, and they want to be there for you. Maybe you should talk to them, let them know whatā€™s really going on.ā€

I know sheā€™s right. I owe them that much.

I nod. She moves to get up, as if the conversation is over, and I panic. I donā€™t want her to go. We still have so much to talk about. I donā€™t want to have another endless night left alone with only my spiraling thoughts and throbbing head.

ā€œListen. . . I get. . . lonely when youā€™re not here at night,ā€ I admit. ā€œDo you think I could text you or call you when youā€™re not here?ā€

Kat looks down at the floor, blushing like crazy. Fuck, sheā€™s cute. ā€œI donā€™t think that would be a good idea.ā€

I take a second to make sure I heard her right. ā€œWhyā€™s that?ā€

She lets out a huge sigh as she crosses her arms in front of her chest. ā€œYou just got out of a coma, Sam.ā€ She looks at me like the answer should be obvious. ā€œYou should probably just focus on getting better.ā€

ā€œCanā€™t I hang out with you while I focus on getting better? I want to get to know you, Kat. Youā€™re fascinating.ā€

She laughs. ā€œFascinating?ā€

ā€œThatā€™s right,ā€ I say with absolute sincerity. ā€œHow can you doubt what Iā€™m feeling? I donā€™t,ā€ I say, pointing to my chest. ā€œItā€™s real. My heart racing every time you walk in the room? Real. Embarrassing, but real. And how it feels when you touch me? That zip? Real.ā€

Kat just shakes her head.

ā€œCome touch me and see. Tell me if thatā€™s real.ā€

After a deep, resigned breath, she moves closer to me, gently placing her hand on my shoulder without emotion or feeling. All business. Almost immediately, the heart monitor picks up speed. I smile up at her, delighted sheā€™s proved my point.

Kat canā€™t help but laugh, but Iā€™m struck by how monumental this seems. Like whatever this is between us is bigger than we realized. It feels like itā€™s predestined, somehow. Beyond our control.

She takes her hand away, and my heart rate slows back to normal. I wait a few beats before I try again. ā€œSo. . . Kat. Can I call you? Please?ā€

ā€œUm. . . I actually donā€™t have a cell phone.ā€ She glances at the monitor, embarrassed.

I sit up a little bit. ā€œAre you serious? How is that possible?ā€

ā€œI've just. . . never had a need for one. Iā€™m always either here or at my uncleā€™s house. I have a landline there,ā€ she answers, still avoiding my eyes.

ā€œYour uncle?ā€ I suddenly realize I havenā€™t been asking nearly enough questions about her. Shit.

ā€œYeah. . . ā€ She trails off. Again, she starts messing with the supplies in the room, clearly not comfortable with my line of questioning.

ā€œOkay. Come sit, Kat,ā€ I plead, patting the bed. Thankfully, she does as I ask. I reach for her hand, but sheā€™s still too far away, down by my feet. ā€œIā€™d really like to call you. Can you please give me your number?ā€ I even blink my eyes rapidly as I look up at her to try and lighten the mood.

She still hesitates.

Am I reading this wrong? I duck my head to meet her beautiful blues. ā€œPlease?ā€

Finally, she gives me that smile, the one that lets me know Iā€™m going to get what I want. I resist the urge to fist pump the air. She pulls a pen from her shirt pocket and writes a phone number on the napkin on my tray. I try not to think too hard about it belonging to her uncle.

When she moves to give me the napkin, I grab her hand, pulling her toward me. I have to see if I can get that throbbing, tingly feeling on my tongue. More importantly, on her tongue.

I put my hand on her neck and pull her to me, kissing her quickly. That amazing zing lights up my mouth. I sigh with relief. God, I hope she feels this, too.

Kat makes a satisfied little sound in the back of her throat and kisses me back, cautiously at first, like she hasnā€™t done this in a while, but then sheā€™s matching me stroke for stroke. She leans farther into me, giving me her weight. With her hands on my chest, I feel the shock of her touch a second before the machines start beeping like crazy.

She gasps and pulls back, but I haul her against me. ā€œIgnore it,ā€ I command, desperate for more.

She laughs into my mouth as we pick up where we left off. Iā€™m so greedy for her. I mean to go slow, but instead, I lick deep and rhythmically into her mouth, giving her all Iā€™ve got. Using my grip on her neck, I guide her head around, making the most of every angle. Iā€™ve never kissed someone like this, with my whole body. I want her to think about this later. Tonight. Tomorrow. I want her to be as obsessed with this as I am.
