BLAKELY

RYAT HAS BEEN in the hospital for three weeks He ended up needing surgery again due to internal bleeding He overdid it and required a lot of rest I’ve otten it I’m actually surprised he’s been so co how stubborn he is But I can match it As a Lady, I understand what my Lord must do I also understand that even he has li, there’ll be two more people for us to care for I needed him to recover a hundred percent

I’ve spent every ets discharged today, it’ll be out of e, and I do too

I spit outhis private bathroo into his room

He stands by his hospital bed, pulling his jeans up over his legs still shirtless

I lean up against the doorway and watch hiht, even with all the food that Gunner and Prickett have been bringing us froh he didn’t need to Ryat Alexander Archer is ripped From his chiseled abs to his broad chest andhim

He looks up and s that sits on his bed, pulling out a dress “Wear this,” he orders

I laugh like he’s joking Then look out theto see the snow covering the ground and building “Ryat, it snowed yesterday I’ll freeze to death”

He walks over to me “I’ll keep you warm”

“I’m serious”

“Me too” He arches a brow, daring ue

I snort “How did that get in there anyway?” I’m surprised he hasn’t burned it

“I told Sarah to pack you so sexy”

“It’s a little revealing, don’t you think?”

“Maybe I want to see what’s mine,” he counters

I sigh, knowing that Ryat is a hundred percent back to hi these battles with him
