“Okay, Doc, have it your way,” Cain murmured as he reached for the water and handed it to h lass fro I was a doctor – he had no way of knowing for sure

“But we’re going to have this conversation every time you wake up and there will be a point where you tell me who did this to you,” he added as his eyes swept my body

Despite the pain I was in, I still felt heat suffuse my entire system at the move

I waited for Cain to get up, but he didn’t Instead, he reached for the water glass Our fingers brushed for the briefest of moments and I felt a zap of electricity shoot up my arm I suspected if my body wasn’t as messed up as it was, my dick would have responded to the contact

“I have a concussion so I need to be woken up every couple of hours and asked questions If my speech is slurred or I can’t answer the inor you can’t wake me up…”

I let my words fall off because what else was I supposed to say? If any of those things happened, it was unlikely I’d survive long enough to make it down the mountain and to a hospital
