Zev nudged the blanket aside with careful precision before sinking back into the bed. Without a word, he grabbed a pillow and covered his face, feigning unconsciousness.

He wasn't wearing pants. His injuries were severe, with gashes and bruises marking his skin.

His long legs stretched past the edge of the bed, their pale color made even starker by the harsh hospital lighting.

Kelly cleared her throat. She was a doctor, trained to see patients as nothing more than cases to treat, but Zev was different. Her heart pounded, heat creeping up her neck.
