forever.
    Everything ceased to exist in that moment. The beeping of machines controlling my meds, the doctor scribbling something on his clipboard, it was just me and my angel. I gripped the back of her neck and rubbed my lips against hers with more pressure than before, cementing her to me. As I opened my eyes she pulled away and sucked in a deep breath. Her fingers immediately flew to her face covering the proof of my kiss.
    “Thank you. That helped with the pain.” I grinned and wiggled my eyebrows to lighten the intensity of the moment.
    She blinked a couple times as if she didn’t know where she was, reminding me of a horse with blinders on. The feelin’ was mutual for sure. She straightened her suit, transitioning business Aspen back into place. Made me wonder if she’d ever truly relaxed.
    “Yes, uh, okay. So, you’re better then?” I nodded and she backed away from the bed. “Doctor, when can I take him home?”
    She backed into the chair and almost toppled over. Even in those stilt-like shoes she was able to right herself and still look in charge. She smiled as her cheeks pinked. If a bit more than a peck on the lips caused that reaction, I could only imagine what a full blown Hank Special kiss would do. She might even lose some of that professional resolve. I was looking forward to finding out.
    The doctor wrote a few things on the clipboard he held. “Tomorrow morning, as long as everything looks good. I’ll need him to come back Monday morning to make sure there’s still no infection. I’m prescribing some lighter pain medications you can take orally, Mr. Jensen. They won’t make you feel loopy but will take the edge off. You need to allow your body to heal naturally and you can’t do that if you’re fighting pain the entire time.” His voice was stern, unforgiving.
    “I understand. Thanks, Doc.”
    “I’m also going to prescribe a circulating cold therapy system. It will reduce the swelling and pain naturally. You’ll take the unit home with you and refill the ice as needed. Do thirty minutes on and a couple hours off, and then repeat the process. It will speed the healing time.”
    “Sounds good enough.”
    “I’ll make sure he gets one. If you could have a member of your team write down the make and model of the best on the market, I’ll have it delivered,” Aspen interrupted, phone in hand. “Wait.” Her voice was clipped, directed at the caller.
    The doctor’s eyes went to hers and smiled. I was about to decline her offer when she jutted out a flat hand in front of my face, stopping me in my tracks. It was surprisingly as effective on me as it had been on her assistant but for entirely different reasons. Her take-charge voice and demeanor had me and my dick paying attention. She was going to be such fun to break.
    “Doctor, anything — and I mean anything — that will help speed his recovery will be provided by me. The cost is of no consequence. Whatever you say he needs, we’ll take care of it.” She handed him her business card then barked orders into her phone. “Oliver, make sure you order whatever Hank’s doctor prescribes.” A few seconds ticked by as she waited. “Yes, any expense,” she said with finality then pressed a button and tossed the phone into her pocket.
    “Aspen Reynolds. You own AIR Bright Enterprises?” The doctor’s tone held reverence, his face set into a huge grin.
    “Yes, I’m the owner and CEO.” She moved over to her bag and pulled the long strap over her shoulder. Holy hell, she owned the skyscraper my company was adding onto. Did that mean she was my boss? Technically, I guess it must have. It never dawned on me that she had that kind of money. I had figured she was rich, but in order to own a company of that size, she had to be worth a lot of dough. As in billions. Wow. And she seemed so young, too.
    “You’re famous!” The doctor continued his adoration.
    “Hardly.”
    I watched the exchange, fascinated as she held her head high,
