“Thanks, Olivia,” he said, relief in his tone. “Just knock when you get there. Ill let him know”
The call ended, but the unease didn’t. | stared at my food, now completely cold, and pushed it aside.
The rest of the afternoon crawled by. | kept trying to rehearse what I'd say-how to keep things polite,
professional, how to ignore the knot in my chest that still hadn't gone away since last night. By the t|

| took the elevator up, carrying the small bag Mike had left with the fresh gauze, ointments, and pain relief meds.
When the doors slid open, | stepped into the dim hallway, the familiar silence wrapping aroundlike fog.
My feet stopped in front of his door.
I raised a hand. Then hesitated.
This was just a favor. A simple favor.
That's what | told myself before | finally knocked Alpha
Alexander's bedroom.
“Cin, Alexander's voice called from inside-cool and composed as ever.
| pushed the door open and stepped in. The lights in the bedroom were dim, shadows gathered in the corners,
and Alexander sat on the edge of the bed in a plain black shirt and lounge pants. His back was straight, one arm
braced lightly on the nightstand. He looked up as | entered, his expression
unreadable.
“I heard...” | cleared my throat. “I heard you needed your dressing changed.”
He gave a small nod. “Mike's busy!”
So are a dozen nurses in this city, | thought, but kept it to myself.
“Where's the medicine cabinet?”
He gestured to the locker room without looking.
| found the first aid kit tucked neatly inside a shelf and carried it back, placing it quietly on the edge of the bed.
The antiseptic, gauze, and ointment were all there, perfectly labeled,
everything clinical and cold. Just like the room. Just like him.

I sat down beside the kit and took a breath. “I'll start.”
He nodded again but didn’t move.
| opened the antiseptic bottle and fumbled for a cotton pad. His wound was on his lower back... which meant...
| paused.
He hadn't taken off his shirt.
Was he... waiting?
| looked up and found him watching me, calm, like he had all the tin the world. There wasn’t a hint of
embarrassment in his gaze-just patience. Or indifference. | couldn't tell which one madefeel more awkward.
“Well?” he asked coolly. “Not planning to drug me, are you?”
“What?” | blinked.
He tilted his head slightly. “You've been staring at my back for a
while now!”
| flushed. “No-I'm just... | mean, | need to see the wound.”
He raised an eyebrow, still unmoving. “Then take it off.”
| froze. “What?”
“My shirt.” He leaned back slightly, making no move to help. “Unless you wantto do it myself and risk
tearing the
stitches.”

Yve inside my head let out a tic sigh.“just take it off
already. He's injured, not inviting you to bed.”
“Shut up,” | muttered under my breath.
“What?” Alexander asked, amused.
“Nothing.” | stared at his shoulder and refused to meet his eyes.
“I'll do it.”
His expression didn’t change. He simply waited.
| wiped my palms against my thighs to dry the sudden sweat. My fingers reached for the hem of his shirt, and |
inhaled
slowly, quietly.
This was just medical care. Just help.
That's all.
“I'm going to undress you,” | said-more to myself than to him.
Then, without waiting for his response, | slipped my fingers
under the fabric and started to lift.

My hands began to tremble as |

But even as | told her off, my hand moved of its own accord,
reaching out to his chest again.
“What exactly are you trying to do, Olivia?”
It felt like someone dumped a large bucket of ice water over my
head. | jerked my hands back as if his skin had burned me, his
robe dropping lower to reveal more of his muscled torso.

To my surprise, Alexander chuckled softly. “Easy there. Keep
