“Isabella?” A security guard is standing in front of me, looking at me like I’m the bane of his existence. I’m unsure what I could have done, since I’ve never met him.
“Yes, that’s me. Can I help you?” I reply softly.
Looking annoyed, he says, “Alexander is being belligerent and refusing to do what the nurses are asking. Josh has requested that you go to his room immediately after your shift. He says we need to find you.” Shaking his head, he continues, “The nurses are threatening to sedate him if he keeps being belligerent. I know that won’t end well for them, so if you could please go, we’d all appreciate it.”“Why does Josh want me to go?” I’m confused. I mean, he may know who I am if Rex has ever spoken of me. He seemed to have an idea from the picture. Maybe I’m just overthinking things, like always.
“He told me that he was busy when I called and that you are probably the only other person that could get Alexander to cooperate.” He is nervously shifting on his feet.
Looking at the time, I agree. “Yes, I can go when I finish up in about thirty minutes, I guess.”
Looking relieved, he smiles. “Thank you. One of those nurses is my wife. She doesn’t know who Alexander's family is, and I’d like to keep it that way.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just let them know I’ll be there when my replacement arrives.”Hopefully, he’ll be nicer to the nurses until then.
The guard nods and rushes off towards the elevators.Good luck!
Chapter 6
Alexander
Iknow these nurses are just trying to do their job. Some are, while others are just trying to take advantage of having me alone in a room. I don’t want any of them touching me. OnlyMa Belle Margueritecan touch and see me in any intimate way. After my dream of her being here earlier, I’m not in the mood to be touched by anyone.
I sometimes wish that nobody knew who I was so that I could be treated normally and not have women constantly chasing me.While it is a great ego boost, it gets tiring. You never know who is after you for your money and title or if they genuinely want you as a person.
I tried to date a few years after Bella left. Spending time with the girl I was seeing wasn’t so bad, except when the time came to get laid. Let's just say, it was terrible. The only way I could get hard was to imagine her as Bella. Even then, I couldn’t look at her.
I attempted to get her to dress like Bella did. I even called her Bella once by accident—that didn’t go over well. I tried only banging her from behind. None of it worked for her or me. Frankly, she deserved better, and I gave up caring. Call me what you will, but Bella is it for me.
I loved her enough to let her go, even though it kills me every day. Sheisthe only one for me. That will never change. One day she will see that.
A soft knock at the door pulls me from my memories. “Come in.” Raising my voice doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday. Small mercies.
“It’s just me.” Bella comes through the door looking tired but as breathtaking as ever. “A little birdie told me you are being a grumpy patient?”
I try to collect my thoughts as I think of a response. I do a double take, making my head throb.Wait, it really is her. She’s here. Maybe earlier wasn’t a dream after all.
“Who told you that?” I grumble.Whoever it is will regret it.
Bella raises an eyebrow at me and says, “Really, Rex? You think I didn’t know this on my own?” She tries to hide her smirk and a giggle.
Of course, it goes straight to my cock. I have missed her laugh. It’s one of my favorite sounds. Well, besides the moans she’d make when I was inside her.
“I’m not grumpy,” I tell her as I turn to look out the window. Maybe focusing on something outside will help get rid of all the dirty thoughts running through my mind. “Did you come to visit me earlier?” I ask.
Stifling another giggle, Bella moves next to my bed, becoming serious. “I did. Are you feeling up to talking? I have a few questions that have haunted me for years, and I could use some closure.” She takes a deep breath and continues, “But if it is too much, I can wait.”
Yep, that’ll kill the mood. There’s nothing like hearing a version of ‘We need to talk’ when all you’re thinking about is pinning her under you to the bed and making her scream your name until she promises to stay this time and never leave you again.
Never mind, maybe I’ll be having this conversation while I’m hard and imagining all the ways I want to punish her for leaving me. Perhaps a spanking with my belt for every year she was gone.
The sound of a chair scraping across the floor breaks through my thoughts.
“Rex?” Bella's voice is quiet as she sits in the chair beside my bed.
Looking back at her, with an edge to my voice, I say, “Sorry, I have a lot on my mind.” It isn’t a complete lie. I do have a lot of things on my mind, most of them being all of the unimaginable things that I want to do to her.
“What did you want to talk about?” If anything, I should be the one asking questions. Yet here I am, wanting to forget it all and take her into my arms.God, I’m such a fool for this gorgeous woman.
Clearing her throat, she looks at me with her bright sea-glass green eyes and says the last thing I expect. “Why didn’t you come for me?”
