Nor did I notice her nipples tighten or her stance go rigid as I moved

Zach did, however

And he confronted ot to the kitchen

“Did you fuck her?”

I frowned hard and started to unwrap my hand “What? Who?”

“The help,” he gruot close, she went red, and then her tits all but threw themselves toward you It was more than obvious that she knew you Intimately”

“I know a lot of people, thanks to working at the hospital” Zach shrugged “And, ere asked to do this” He gestured at my cut and then his “I asked around Found out that he was really good at getting out of al that someone’s tried to pin on him”

“Who?” I wondered as he gestured to my hand

I placed it on the counter on the towel that he’d laid out, then gritted my teeth as he went on to disinfect it, then suture it
