I was pissed, but Knight was freaking scary and there was no way I was going to mouth off and make things worse for myself. No matter how much I wanted to.
“Hudson, would you relax? Maybe if you weren’t threatening her, she wouldn’t have run,” his wife said, shoving him aside to get by Parker’s side. She lifted the sheet and bit her lip. “Um…how long has he been like this?”
“Like what?” Knight growled.
She lifted the sheet further and pointed to his cock standing straight up. Knight growled, but Kate just rolled her eyes. “I’m a doctor. Do you really think this is my first time seeing another man’s penis?”
“I really hope you weren’t looking that closely at the others,” he snapped.
“Okay, everyone else out. I need to talk with you,” she said, nodding at me. Everyone filtered out of the room and when the door shut, she started shooting off questions. “How long has he been like this?”
“About an hour?”
She raised her eyebrows in shock. “Was there anything strange that happened during sex?”
“You mean, besides his wound opening up and him bleeding all over me?”
“He shouldn’t have been having sex yet,” she said, continuing her exam. “And what happened when he passed out?”
“We were having sex, he came, and then he just sort of toppled over. He was sweating a lot and he was breathing hard. Like, way harder than he should have been after sex.”
“Hmm. Okay, that’s all I need from you for now. You can leave.”
I nodded, grateful to be excused from the room, but paused before leaving. “I’m sorry about rear-ending you.”
“Oh please, I would have done that too when I first met Hudson.”
“And you married him?”
“Well, love is weird like that,” she said, still examining Parker.
“Is Parker going to be okay?”
“He should be fine. I suspect that he has priapism. It’s a condition that doesn’t let blood leave the penis after an erection.”
“What causes that?”
“Many things. It could be medication, trauma-”
“Trauma?” I had a sinking feeling in my gut. “What kind of trauma?”
“To his penis,” she said, now examining his side wound.
“Um…” I cleared my throat uncomfortably. “Like, a kick to the groin?”
She lifted her head and grinned at me. “Yeah, that could cause it. Did you happen to kick him there?”
I shrugged one shoulder slightly. “I might have.”
She nodded and started pulling out stuff to stitch up his wound. “Well, case solved. Unless it happens again, I would guess that we found the culprit. You’ll have to keep an eye on him after sex and-”
“Whoa, there’s not going to be any more sex. This was a one off.”
She chuckled slightly. “Okay.”
“I’m serious. It was just the one time. I mean, we were fighting before it happened. We don’t even like each other.”
“Oh, I get it. There are a lot of guys around here that screw people they hate.”
“See?”
“And then they marry them,” she added with a grin.
Frustrated, I grunted and stormed out of the room with her laughter trailing behind me. I wasn’t even close to marrying anyone, let alone a man that kept trying to take me down. Besides, his cock was way too big. If I let him fuck me again, I would probably start leaking organs out of my vagina from how wide he split me open. I didn’t care how good he was in bed, sex was not happening again.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going?” Knight snarled as I stormed for the elevator.
“I’m leaving.”
“No, you’re not.” He snatched my arm and I yanked it back, stepping away like a caged lion.
“Look, I did what I said I would do. I brought Parker here and told Kate what happened. That’s all I agreed to.”
“You didn’t make that deal with me,” Knight smirked, coming toward me like a predator. Why was it that everyone at Reed Security wanted to fight me?
A man and woman approached, both looking like members of Reed Security. The man had a predatory air to him, much like Knight, and the woman had the look of being calm and beautiful, but deep down I could see the fearlessness that ran through her. Great, more people to fight off.
“I will kick your ass if you come any closer.”
“Nice try, sweetie,” Knight smirked, prowling closer to me.
“My money is on Knight,” the woman said.
“Thanks,” I snapped at her. “Aren’t women supposed to stay together?”
“Not really.”
I rolled my eyes, but never stopped watching Knight. He came at me hard, striking low, but I anticipated the strike and slid to the side, staying just out of his reach. I wasn’t stupid. I knew that he was cunning. I could see how he was anticipating my every move. That first strike was more to see how I would react to his attack.
He shot forward again, but this time, he swept my legs out from under me, sending me falling to my back. I pulled the same move I had on Parker, kicking at his face as he bent down to attack. His head snapped back and I leapt to my feet, ready for him to counterattack. He smirked at me, wiping the blood from his lip.
“She’s not bad,” the woman said. “I kind of want to get in the ring with her.”
“Not a chance,” the man snarled.
“Why?” I smirked. “Worried I’ll kick her ass?”
The man’s eyes glowered at me and the woman stepped forward, like she was about to prove that she could take me. The man grabbed her and held her back, and I saw the spark in her. She was ready to come at me with everything she had. With Knight already prowling around me, I knew that starting shit with the other two wasn’t really the smartest thing.
The ding of the elevator distracted me for just a moment, and it was a moment too long. Knight was on me, shoving me back toward the wall and spinning me around to slam my chest up against the wall as he yanked my arm up behind my back painfully. I
