My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1113

Emily clenched her teeth and grabbed his fingers. “Seriously, have you no self-control? Look at you, you’re still sick and already your mind’s wandering.”

Tristan’s smile faded as he tucked his face into the curve of her neck. Before she could ask what was up, she heard his muffled, almost whiny voice. “Emily, I feel terrible…”

He wrapped his arms around her and pressed in, his cheek hidden. “Come on, have a little sympathy. I’m pretty pitiful, aren’t I?”

She knew he was just playing it up, but Emily couldn’t help herself. She lifted her hand and gently stroked the back of his head, her touch soft and slow. “You were just apologizing, and now you’re acting all needy again,” she said, her voice low.

Tristan hugged her tighter, sounding perfectly happy. “You’re my girlfriend. Of course I’m going to act needy with you.”

Emily rolled her eyes, but there was a smile there too. She let him get away with it. Tristan raised his head just enough that his breath brushed warm over her neck and cheek. She went still, glancing down as he started leaving gentle kisses along her jaw and throat.

She reached up, fingers slipping through his hair and giving it a little tug. “You’re still hooked up to an IV, you know. Try to behave yourself.”

Tristan just buried his face deeper in her neck, breathing her in. That seemed to satisfy him for now.

He let her go and leaned back against the headboard. Emily shot him a sideways look, then bent to straighten out her rumpled clothes.

Tristan couldn’t stop smiling at her, feeling perfectly content. His eyes landed on his phone, lying next to her. He picked it up and offered it to her. “Want to look through it?”

Emily finished fixing her clothes, settled back, pulled the blanket up, and pushed his hand away with the phone.

Tristan raised his eyebrows. “You really don’t want to?”

She shrugged. “Nope. I’m not interested.”
