Page 107 of Her Daddies' Everything

Jenner turned so quickly that she let out a small squeal. “You are not a burden.”

He spoke so fiercely that she was shocked. “Understand me, Immy?”

She nodded slowly.

“Words,” he said in a dark voice.

This wasn’t normal for Jenner. He could definitely be bossy and commanding. But he wasn’t usually this . . . stern with her.

Not that she didn’t like it.

“Yes.”

He looked like he wanted to say something else, but held back. Then he set up the blood pressure machine and pushed the button. Immy was quiet as it took her blood pressure.

“It’s low,” he said. “Have you been drinking enough water?”

“Umm,” she said guiltily.

“Immy,” he warned. “Do I have to start monitoring your water intake?”

She didn’t see how he would be able to do that considering he was busier than ever.

“No, of course not. I’ll try harder.”

“That might be why you fainted. But I want you to see the doctor tomorrow. Tobias should have called Eric straight away.”

“It’s not likely to be my blood pressure,” she said. “It was the dark.”

“Baby,” he murmured as he cupped her cheek. “You need to talk to someone about that.”

“I don’t,” she said with frustration. “I just need to get over it! It’s ridiculous!”

Jenner drew her close and she wrapped her arms around him. She took comfort in his touch, the way he hummed her favorite song.

“His Everything.”

But as he held her, soothing her, her heart was torn.

Because she couldn’t stop thinking about Tobias. And wishing that he was here too.

Jenner joined him outside.

This was unexpected.

Well, maybe he’d come to tell him everything he’d done wrong. Tobias knew he deserved that.

Or maybe he was going to warn him away from Immy. That was the likely scenario. Because it was obvious Jenner wanted her, he just wasn’t making a move.

“You care about her,” Jenner stated.

All right. They were doing this, then, huh? Straight into it.

“Yep.”

“That’s good. She deserves someone to care about her. Immy is special.”

That wasn’t what he’d expected Jenner to say.
