time to head to the hospital,” he says, stroking some hair from my eyes. “Shit, Jaybird, I’m sorry.”
“It wasn’t your fault,” I rasp, as the pain starts to intensify.
“It was. I was fucking you like a maniac.”
“I...like your maniac.”
He shakes his head, and leans forward, pressing a kiss to my head. “Come on, let’s get you looked at.”
Well, this should be interesting.
Chapter 8
So this is Christmas!
Janine
“What the fuck happened?” Spike says when we walk into the hospital.
“Um, she, hurt her nose,” Muff grunts.
“It’s a sex injury,” I mutter.
Spike’s eyes widen. “Do share,” he breathes.
“Fuck up, Spike,” Muff snaps.
“Chill dude, she started it. Coulda said she ran into a wall,” he grunts, turning and sitting down.
Jackson grins at us, and I know he’s trying to smother a laugh. Asshole. The girls are in the cafeteria, so at least I get to pass them without shame. For now . We head down the halls to the patient room and are greeted by a young, busty nurse.
“Muff!” She smiles, rushing over and throwing her arms around Muff.
Okay then.
“Hey Gloria, long time no see,” Muff says, grinning down at her.
She flicks her hair. “God, I’ve missed you. I haven’t seen you around the bar.”
“I’ve been busy,” he explains.
She pouts and crosses her arms. “Don’t be a stranger. I miss our...chats.”
Jesus.
Muff smiles at her again, and then turns to me. “This is my girlfriend, Janine. She...hurt her nose.”
Girlfriend.
He called me his girlfriend.
My heart flutters.
Gloria’s eyebrows shoot up, and she turns to me. “Oh, that doesn’t sound good. Can I take a look?”
“If you have to,” I whisper.
Muff shakes his head, grinning at me. “She does. Come on, Jaybird, sit down.”
Gloria leads us into a room and sits me on the bed. Then she’s in front of me, poking her big breasts in my face. I hate when that happens. I close my eyes and try to concentrate on something else as Gloria removes Muff’s shirt and inspects my nose. She moves it. I cry out, and she declares it’s fractured and hands me a fresh ice pack.
“There’s not much we can do for a nasal fracture, except give you some good painkillers and wait for it to heal. I’ll strap it as best I can, just to try and relieve some pain for you.”
I groan, and open my eyes to see her step back and wink at Muff. Isn’t that like...not allowed? She announces she’s going to get something to strap it, and leaves the room. I turn to Muff.
“Have you boned everyone in this town?”
He chuckles, and stands, walking over and sitting beside me. “Baby, jealously suits you.”
“I thought it was meant to be that it doesn’t suit me...”
He grins, kissing my lips softly. “But it does suit you. Makes you darn cute.”
“You broke my nose fucking me, and the nurse fixing me has fucked you before...that’s just mean.”
He laughs, and grips my hair, tugging it softly. “I haven’t fucked her, and I didn’t mean to break your nose.”
“You haven’t?” I squeak.
“No, baby, I haven’t. I won’t say there wasn’t some...fondling one night, but we mostly talked.”
“Ew,” I say.
He laughs again, and pulls me into his arms, gently pressing my face to his chest. I sigh and close my eyes. They feel like they’re swollen. “You won’t want to fuck me again when you see me tomorrow.”
“You’re gorgeous, Jaybird. Even if you have a busted up nose.”
I giggle.
“Here we are,” Gloria says, coming back into the room. I sit up, and see her expression is far less cheerful now she’s seen Muff and I cuddling. Get over it, lady. Go find someone else to ‘fondle.’
She patches up my nose, gives me some painkillers, looks longingly at Muff and then we’re on our way. While we’re here, I want to check up on Addi. We head down the hall to where everyone is waiting, and see Cade is standing with them. My heart speeds up. Maybe he has news. We
