I suck both my lips into my mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
“It’s not what it looks like,” Marcus defends as he tries to move his leg out of Sebastian’s reach.
“I’ve heard that one before,” Sebastian mumbles.
Rhett tilts his head, and when it’s clear that he can’t figure out what he’s seeing, he points to the door.
“I’ll… I’ll come back later.”
“Rhett,” I cry as I start to laugh. I bend over and place my hands on my knees to keep myself up. “It’s just a sponge bath.”
Rhett’s eyes grow huge. “You give those here?”
Sebastian rolls his eyes. “Not the kinky kind you’re obviously well acquainted with. I swear, the postal address for that dirty mind of yours is smack bang in the middle of the gutter. Instead of standing there like a lost fart, come hold him still so I can finish. I still have other patients to see to. Some of them happen to appreciate my sponge baths.”
“Damn, woman,” Rhett whispers as he carefully moves closer to the bed. “Is it that time of the month?”
“Don’t you go and bring the bitch out in me,” Sebastian warns while wiggling a finger in front of Rhett’s face.
I bury my face in my hands and laugh until tears drip from my fingers.
I wish I could’ve recorded it.
When Sebastian is done, he gives Marcus a pointed look.
“Payback’s a bitch, darling. As soon as your ass is mobile again, you have to sing karaoke with me. I won’t take no for an answer. Keep that in mind next time you sass me.”
When Marcus opens his mouth, I quickly cover it with my hand.
“It’s going to be fun,” I say.
As soon as Sebastian leaves th
e room, I look down at Marcus.
“Don’t mess with his karaoke. He held your hand for over five hours. The least you can do is sing one song with him.”
“I’m starting to wonder if I didn’t die. I’m sure this is what hell is like,” Marcus mutters.
Rhett sits down and props his feet on the side of the bed.
“If this is hell, I’m all for it. I can’t wait to see you sing with Miss Sebastian. I’d pay good money for that.”
Marcus glares at Rhett. “As soon as I’m out of here, I’m going to kick your ass.”
Rhett wags his eyebrows. “You love my ass.”
Rhett’s the male version of Sebastian. I have to remember to never leave them alone.
As I move onto my next patient, I can’t help but feel sad. As soon as Marcus is better, they will all leave.
I’m not sure what will happen with Jaxson and me then.
Chapter 16
JAXSON
Now that Marcus is out of danger, Carter is heading back to New York. I’ve asked all the guys to meet me in Marcus’ room.
