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.

"Zev," she said, voice edged with warning. "If you keep letting your mind wander, I'll put an end to it myself." Her sharp glare made it clear she wasn't joking. If he was truly so concerned about his body's function, she had a permanent solution,in mind.

"I don't want to think about it either," Zev muttered, his voice low with frustration.

In Solmaris, he had never been shy about pressing against her, shameless in his affection. Yet, even then, he had never once forced her into anything.

Now, even in a hospital bed, his body responded to her presence, instinct overriding reason.

"I'm serious," Kelly said, snapping the blanket back over him. "If you don't get it under control, I'll deal with it myself."

Zev let out a dramatic sigh and buried his face in the pillow, the very picture of defeat.

Kelly sat beside him, waiting. Minutes passed, but he refused to move.

"You planning on suffocating yourself?" she asked, folding her arms.

No response.

With a sigh, she reached for the pillow and yanked it away. "Does your hand still hurt? It's been nearly a month since the surgery. The doctor says it's time to start therapy."
