And the look on his face told her that she might not be fine for long.
“How long doI have to sit in the corner?”
Hayes glanced over at Devi who was sitting in a chair, facing a corner of the living room. Zeke and Eden had left about ten minutes ago.
“Until I’m feeling less . . . upset,” he told her.
Cleaning the bathroom? What the fuck was she thinking? What if she’d slipped? Zeke had told him how he’d found her standing in the middle of a huge puddle in the bathroom. The bottom of her pants had been so saturated that he’d taken them off her.
Now she was just wearing a T-shirt and panties.
Which he was trying not to think too much about because he didn’t need his cock to get hard right now.
Christ, he’d been gone an hour. Just to go to a meeting with Kent, Liam, Donovan and Zander, who’d been on video call. Zander still had members of his team in Angel, trying to find those bastards who had hurt his girl.
Zander also seemed to think they weren’t the only ones hunting those bastards down.
Which was concerning.
“How long do you think that will be?” she asked.
“Are you in pain?” he demanded.
“No.”
“Do you need to go potty?”
“No!”
“Then it could take a while.”
He was not happy with her. She could have slipped, fallen on her arm, and . . .
He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.
She was fine.
She was unharmed.
He’d just have to watch her more carefully. That was all. He could keep her safe if he was more vigilant.
A sigh escaped her.
“Are you in pain?” he asked.
“No,” she grumbled. “I’m not in any pain. But I am bored. I don’t understand, all I did was clean the bathroom.”
“No, that was not all you did and that is not the issue here.”
Walking over, he turned the chair so she was facing him.
“So what is the issue?” she asked.
“The issue is that you could have hurt yourself,” he explained. “You could have slipped onto your arm or hit your head.”
There was a hint of frustration in her face that gave way to understanding.
“But I’m fine. I was just cleaning. And I didn’t slip.”
