stand it if something happened to you."
    "Hey, shh, it's okay," he said softly. "Come on, lay down with me."
    Misty shook her head. "No, I don't want to hurt you."
    "You won't. You can lie on my good side." He smiled.
    Misty climbed into the bed. She settled gently beside him, her head on his shoulder blade and his arm around her. "Thank you, Aaron," she whispered on a hitched breath. "I needed this. I needed to feel your arms around me."
    "You never have to thank me for holding you, baby." He kissed her forehead. "Want to tell me what happened today?"
    "No, not yet, I just want to lay here with you."
    "That's fine with me," he said before they both drifted off to sleep.

    Aaron awoke the next morning when the nurse came in with his breakfast tray. Misty was still tucked by his side, snoring softly.  The nurse gave him a disapproving frown, but he ignored it. No one was going to make him feel guilty for having the woman he loved sleep by his side while he was hospitalized. He closed his eyes and sighed. When he'd been pinned in that house, the only thing that had been on his mind was Misty and how he didn't have nearly enough time with her, and that he never had a chance to tell her that he loved her. Well, he wasn't going to waste any more time. He was going to tell her tonight. And if she freaked out and told him it was too soon then so be it. At least she'd know the truth. Maybe he'd get lucky and she'd tell him that she felt the same. He doubted it, but he could hope.
    "How're you feeling?" Misty asked turning her head to look at him.
    "I’m a little sore, but it's manageable. What about you?"
    "I'm stiff. These beds are not very comfortable and they are definitely not made for two people," she said.
    Aaron laughed. "Well tonight we can sleep in your bed. Or mine, whichever you prefer."
    "Always so presumptuous," she said lightly resting her hand over his heart.
    "I’m accommodating," he said and she laughed. "God, I love your laugh."
    "It's up to you where you want to say. You are the injured one here."
    He cocked a brow. "Are you going to be my personal nurse?"
    "Mmm hmm." She adjusted her body so that her face was inches from his, her mouth within kissing distance.
    "Are you going to cater to my every desire?"
    "Absolutely," she said pressing her mouth to his.
    He groaned at the feel of her tongue in his mouth. It'd been less than a day since he'd last kissed her like this, but it felt like it'd been an eternity. Every second away from her felt like a lifetime. His hand found her breast and massaged it through her shirt. Her nipple hardened to his touch and he fumbled to get his hand on her bare flesh. "I've missed you," he whispered against her lips.
    "I've missed you, too," she said dipping her hand beneath the thin sheet and cupping his balls.
    His cock jerked in response. "Misty," he moaned lifting his hips and thrusting his cock further into her hand. Her fingers curled around his shaft and she gave it a slow, firm stroke up then down. "Fuck that feels so good."
    "I want you, Aaron." Misty flung her leg over his waist and straddled him, keeping her weight in her legs and off of him. "I want to feel you inside of me." She pressed her crotch into his and began to rub herself on his erection.
    "It is so hot to hear you talk like that." He lay still, allowing her to dry hump him, until they were both breathing hard. She had arrived last night wearing a skirt so the only barrier between him and her were her panties. He could feel how wet she was getting and that only made his dick harder. Reaching around with his good hand, he pulled her panties to the side and slid his aching cock into her pussy.
    She moaned long and low, her gaze locking with his. "We shouldn't be doing this here," she said as she began to move on him. "What if we get caught?"
    "The thrill of getting caught," he said tugging on her bottom lip "is half the fun." Her hips rotated in a circular motion, grinding all the way down on him, and he felt
