Page 40 of Dangerous Desires
“She didn’t want to talk to me. She is still angry that I wouldn’t choose to get married, so she hung up on me. I told Raegan though. She is so worried. Scout told me he would bring her to see me after I get out of the hospital.”
Farren had hugged Rowen and Jet took her back to her room. He had barely left to shower and change his clothes.
She had to get mad at him for not eating and when he tried to argue, she would cross her arm over her bad one and he would give in. She knew he needed to take care of himself, and she made sure he did. Even if he didn’t want to leave her to do it.
She drove home in his truck, because her mother would have it no other way, and Jet brought her to his house. Emerson and Garrett, both agreed it would be for the best, because Jet had a larger place and was able to care for her. Emerson would still come to see her daily, but Farren loved that she was in Jet’s home. She hadn’t seen it yet but fell in love with it when they pulled up to it.
It was a gorgeous home with large rocks and dark brown stucco. It had one level that went straight from the driveway and another that made up the basement.
She was sleeping in Jet’s room, and he would have it no other way. When he got her comfortable for the night and had put on his sling to wear at night, he lay down behind her and pulled her into his arms.
“I have missed sleeping with you in my arms.”
She smiled, “I have missed it too.”
He kissed the back of her neck, which caused shivers to rack her body and said, “You are never sleeping without me ever again.”
She laughed slightly and nodded, “I’m on board with that.”
Jet chuckled, making her body move along his. The medicine he gave her was making her sleepy, and she shut her eyes as sleep took her.

Two weeks later, she was going insane. She wanted Jet fiercely, but he never did anything to take her up on her offer. He treated her like she was a glass bauble and she was tired of it. Her arm was out of the cast and her rib was feeling a lot better. Her leg was the only nuisance, but she could get around that.
She wanted him and needed to feel him inside her. To feel his body caging hers in on the bed and feeling his skin move along hers. Every day, he would get up and do his exercises that the doctor gave him and she had to watch his magnificent body move and grow slick with his sweat.
She had to wipe her mouth when he would take off his shirt and finish his routine and he had no idea how much she longed to lick him from head to toe. How it seemed like his muscles called for her tongue. To trace them and discover each bump under his skin. She ached constantly and she was done with that.
Her mother helped her shower and she hated that too. Jet should be the one to help her, but he was giving her space and she didn’t want space. She wanted the man that claimed her and wanted him now. So, when he went to the kitchen to cook them dinner, she got her crutches and put them under her arms. Then she went to the bathroom and combed through her hair and took off her clothes.
She went back to the bed and propped herself up against the headboard and prayed that she looked sexy when Jet walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes went wide.
The tray he held in his hands shook and she noticed how his hands turned white when he clenched them on the tray. He turned on his heel and she could see his back lifting and falling as he took quick breaths.
“What are you doing Farren?”
She looked down at her naked body, “I would think it is obvious.”
He turned back around and put the tray on the table next to the door. He squeezed his eyes shut and she could see just how her nakedness affected him.
The light gray sweatpants he was wearing didn’t hide his erection from her and she sat up, “You haven’t touched me in weeks.”
His eyes opened and he looked confused, “I hold you in my arms every night. I help you with your clothes and your leg every day.”
She shook her head, “That isn’t what I mean, and you know it.”
He swallowed hard and she saw his eyes track down her body, landing on her breasts and then down to her slightly spread legs and then they bounced back to her face.
“I know. I haven’t touched you because you need time to heal. I didn’t want to rush you. I didn’t know if Ted hurt you like that and I didn’t want to bring up bad memories for you.”
She felt her face soften, “He didn’t touch me. Not like that. You are the only one who has. And I need you. I have ached since you brought me here and I need you. I need you to kiss me and make love to me. Do not treat me like I’m going to break. I won’t. I’m stronger than you think.”
Jet hung his head, “I know you are. I know. You are the strongest woman I know. But I didn’t want to rush you. You need to heal.”
Farren held her hands out, baring her body to him. “The only thing that will hold me back is my leg. But it is the only thing that will. My rib is doing better, and my arm is fine. I need the love of my life.”
Jet looked up at her and took a step toward the bed. She beckoned him closer, and he took another step and then another.
