“Alona has been taken for a checkup. Right now, it’s just Kellen and Jace in the room.”
Wiona lingered around the corner for a bit before heading down the hall toward Alona’s hospital room.
She’d heard all about how Kellen had been running herself ragged, taking care of Alona day and night. But Alona hadn’t shown her a shred of kindness. Still, maybe Kellen thought that if she worked hard enough, she could win Alona over. So she swallowed her pride and kept going, even when it stung.
Wiona had arranged for Dr. Monroe to be at the hospital days ago. Ever since Jean ended up with chlorine poisoning because of Taylor, Wiona conveniently had Dr. Monroe assigned to look after Jean. But honestly, today was the real reason she needed him there. She’d asked Dr. Monroe to slip something into Kellen’s drink. Just a little something that would cloud her mind and stir up her deepest desires.
Wiona knew it was shady. But this was a hospital. If Kellen asked for help, if Jace managed to control himself, nothing really bad would happen. Right?
Still, Wiona waited and waited. Neither Kellen nor Jace came out. She could just imagine the two of them right now, tangled up in each other, completely lost to the world.
Sure enough, when Wiona reached the VIP suite and unlocked the door with the key Dr. Monroe had given her, she cracked it open and heard exactly what she expected.
“Jace, I’d do anything for you. I don’t care how much it hurts,” Kellen whispered.
“I just need you to love me.”
“Please… help me… I can’t take it…”
Jace’s voice was rough, low. “Kellen, what am I supposed to do with you?”
“We should get a doctor, okay? Kellen, you can’t do this here. We’re in a hospital…”
“No,” Kellen breathed, desperate.
“Jace, how long has it been since you touched me?”
