by.”
    “Yeah. Courtney brought me some clothes. I’ll need a little help getting out of this bed, but I should be fine after that.”
    I walked over to the side of the bed and slipped my hands under her, gently picking her up from the bed. I could feel her body tense as I lifted her. A deep sigh escaped from her chest as I set her feet on the floor.
    “I didn’t mean for you to pick me up. I just needed a little help,” she huffed.
    “That was a little help. I’ll give ya a little help changing clothes, too, if you need me to,” I told her, raising my eyebrows up and down as I gave her a big smile.
    “Not a chance. I’ll change in the bathroom…by myself,” Taylor said as she hobbled to the bathroom and shut the door. I could hear her cursing under her breath as she tried to change her clothes. I knew she was having a hard time getting her clothes on with that cast, but I decided to give her time to figure it out. When she finally came out of the bathroom, she was dressed in black knit pants and a light pink t-shirt that showed off her tits. It was obvious she wasn’t wearing a bra. I must’ve been staring, because she immediately started giving me hell.
    “Seriously? Eyes up here! Are you twelve? You look like you haven’t ever seen boobs before,” she said as she rolled her eyes. “I can’t get my damn bra on. This stupid cast is going to drive me nuts!”
    “You just have to wear it for a couple of weeks, and then they’ll give you a brace to wear. In the meantime, I plan to enjoy the view.”
    Taylor rolled her eyes again and walked over to the bed to gather the rest of her things. I held her bag open so she could shove everything into it.
    “I think that’s everything. Courtney said she put the rest of my stuff in the truck. What time are they planning to pick me up?”
    “They should be here in a few minutes. Just be patient. It won’t be much longer.”
    “Okay, whatever you say, Renegade ,” Taylor said sarcastically. She crawled back into her bed and rolled on her side facing away from me.
    I decided to just leave her be. I knew she had a lot on her mind, and I figured she needed to rest. Neither of us knew what to expect from the weeks ahead of us, but I’d have to do what I could to make the best of it. Once she started feeling better, I’d take her to a party at the clubhouse. She’d mentioned that she was missing the guys, and that would be a great way for her to spend time with them. She hadn’t seen any of them since the funeral.
    I’d need to see if I could get Tessa to help Taylor out for a few days. The more she could help, the better. Taylor was going to need some help taking showers while she had that cast on.
    The doctor came in and gave Taylor her release papers. She signed everything and got her prescriptions before the nurse came in with the wheelchair. She didn’t want to use it, but they said it was a requirement. She had that cute pissed off look as they pushed her down the hallway to the exit. Bobby had already pulled up to the front door when we made our way outside. Courtney and I helped her get into the SUV. She was quiet as she fastened her seatbelt and got settled in her seat. She had a worried expression on her face, and I could tell she was having doubts about coming home with me.
    I walked over and opened her door. When her eyes finally met mine, it really got to me. I didn’t know what to do with all those emotions she was carrying inside. I leaned in the truck, and pulled her as close as I could with the restraints of the seatbelt confining her. I quietly whispered in her ear, “It’s going to be okay. We’re going to take good care of you, and you’ll be back to your old ornery self in no time.” I gave her a kiss just above her ear before I released her.

    I’m screwed. That’s all there is to it. I’m absolutely, 100 percent screwed . For the past half hour, I’ve been sniffing the hint of Renegade’s cologne
