couldn t imagine how she was going to feel when her hair was all done and she had on the heels and
accessories. She was looking forward to the masquerade, but she was terrified to know how much
she d spent. She was determined to pay every cent back.
Trinity and Jasmine refused to let her see any of the totals, but she d tell Ryan she wanted to know
the amount and she d pay him back. She wouldn t allow him to refuse her. She felt too much like a
call girl, with him buying her clothes.
 I ll take your dress and accessories back to my place. I want you to come over early so we can
all get ready together, Jasmine told her. She d still not let her see what she d bought to go with the
dress.
 That would be nice, Nicole told her. By the time they headed back to the hospital, Nicole
realized she d had an amazing day, but she was certainly exhausted. The women left her, and she
quickly fell asleep in the cot the staff had brought in for her.
It was her first night of sleeping soundly, through the whole night, since the surgery. She was
grateful Patsy had been sound asleep herself, or she figured her little sister would ve carried through
on her threat and made her leave until the morning. Nicole would ve been too stressed to sleep at the
house. Besides, she was trying to avoid Ryan. She really didn t think she d be able to resist him.
 I m fine. You can really stop fussing over me now, Patsy said, impatient with her
overprotective sister.
 I m simply worried about you. You did have major surgery, and are finally safe and sound and
out of that horrible hospital, Nicole told her little sister with all the patience of a saint. Patsy had
been in a dreadful mood the last few days and was incredibly sick of lying in bed. She d always been
an active child, and she was thoroughly sick of bed rest.
 Remember, your doctor said you can t overdo it--only mild walks, and no school for at least
another month, Nicole reminded her.
 Trust me. I have you here to remind me, Patsy told her with a sincere smile.
 I love you so much, Nicole told her, fighting back the tears.
 I love you too, sis. Now go relax for a while. I promise you I won t melt away while I sit here
and watch a movie, Patsy told her.  I can t believe we are in this amazing house, and I really hope
we get to stay for a while, she added.
Patsy had been just as amazed of Ryan s home as Nicole had initially been. She d been staying
there for a little over two weeks now and had adjusted to the palatial place. For Patsy, it was all
brand new, and she wanted to explore everything. She was still getting winded too easily, though, and
she had to take it easy. Nicole was going to make sure she did indeed relax.

 What is it? Ryan snapped at his poor receptionist when she buzzed him.
 I m sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Titan, but you have a call on line one, she said. His entire office
staff had gone out of their way to avoid him over the last two weeks. He d been a bear to be around,
and he couldn t seem to stop himself.
Nicole had been living with him for a couple weeks, and he hadn t been alone with her since the
night her sister had gone in for surgery. She d stayed night and day at the hospital and, though he d
wanted to drag her from the room by her hair and insist she share his bed, he couldn t do it.
He convinced himself he was only thinking about Patsy and didn t care about what Nicole had
actually needed. Even though he wanted his revenge on her, he couldn t hurt her as badly as he
would ve been if he d made her leave her sister. Nicole had only started to look better in the last few
days. She was finally sleeping, and her skin was getting a healthy flush to it. It would feel much better
to challenge her if she was able to give as well as she got.
Patsy had finally been moved to Ryan s house that afternoon, and Nicole would be back in his bed
tonight. Maybe after he d satisfied his needs, he d stop snapping at every person who dared to even
look at him.
 Thanks, he said shortly and took the call. He barely managed to be civil to the man on the other
end of the line and wouldn t be surprised if he didn t call back for a very long time. Ryan gave up on
work and headed out the door. He was in no state to be around decent people.
His driver got him home in record time, since there wasn t any rush hour traffic to deal with. He [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
