"I'm sorry. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave right now." With that, Yvonne frantically turned to go.
But Bennett held on to her hand, his grip tightening as his face turned ashen.
In his effort to stop her, he forced himself out of bed, accidentally yanking on his IV line. The needle ripped from the back of his hand, drawing a spurt of blood.
"Yvonne! Are you going to leave me again?"
His voice was incredibly hoarse as he practically roared the words at her.
Yvonne froze, staring at him dumbly. Her vision blurred as tears welled up and spilled from her eyes.
He had called her Yvonne, not Yvonne. Did that mean he had recognized her all along?
The sight of her tears immediately softened Bennett's demeanor. He cupped her pale face with his cool hands, his long fingers gently wiping away her tears.
"When I was shot, all I could think was, if I died, would you even care? Yvonne, I wanted you to feel the same pain I felt when I lost you. But when you're in pain, I'm the one who hurts... Were you born just to torture me?"
Yvonne choked back a sob, shaking her head.
"Ben..." she whispered, her lips trembling, but before she could say more, he leaned in and silenced her with a kiss.
He kissed her fiercely, almost punishingly, unleashing a storm in her mouth.
Yvonne stumbled backward under the force of his kiss until her back hit the wall.
Bennett braced one hand against the wall, his other arm wrapping around her slender waist, pulling her so close it felt as if he wanted to merge their bodies into one.
It was a wild, passionate kiss that left Yvonne breathless.
Fearing she might actually suffocate, he finally, reluctantly, let her go.
