In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 266

Keira sat on the edge of the hospital bed, now dressed in the clean clothes Blair had brought her, soft gray leggings and an oversized plain sweatshirt that felt like heaven after two days in that filthy gown. She had taken a shower and washed her hair.

Her discharge papers were signed, her prescriptions for mild pain relievers and a sleep aid if she needed them, were tucked in her purse. Dr Morris had warned her to look for signs of PTSD.

All she wanted was to see Alexei before she left. Just one glimpse. One moment to reassure herself that what had happened between them in that warehouse was … more. That it had meant something.

"Are you sure you feel up to walking?" Blair hovered nearby, maternal instincts in overdrive. She really hoped her sister didn't turn into a helicopter mother when the baby arrived. Sutton had always been the overprotective one.

Keira offered a tired smile. "I'm fine, Blair. My legs still work." She stood to demonstrate. Every part of her body ached from the hard cot, the stress, and... other activities. "I'm just really tired." God was that an understatement.

"We can take you straight home," Sutton said, gathering Keira's few belongings. "Roman's got the car ready."

"Actually..." Keira hesitated. "Before we do that, I want to check on Prince Alexei."

Her sisters exchanged a quick glance that didn't escape Keira's notice.

"What?" she demanded.

"Nothing," Blair said too quickly. "It's just... they moved him to a private room upstairs. Security's pretty tight."

Sutton nodded. "His father sent a royal physician from Wystovia. Mitchell's got the place locked down."

"I still want to see him." Keira squared her shoulders, ignoring the soreness. "Just for a minute."

Blair studied her face. "Okay," she said finally. "We'll go with you."

During the elevator ride to the sixth floor, Keira's mind raced with what she might say to Alexei. How did you casually acknowledge that you'd had sex with your boss while being held hostage? No… not her boss he had fired her.

When the doors opened, it was immediately obvious which room was his. Two stone-faced security agents in dark suits flanked a door at the end of the hall, and Mitchell stood in front of them, arms crossed.

Keira approached, her sisters trailing behind.

"Miss Warner," Mitchell greeted her, his expression professional. "I'm glad to see you recovered."

"Thank you." She gestured toward the door. "I'd like to see Prince Alexei."

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Mitchell didn't move. "His Highness isn't seeing visitors."

Something cold settled in Keira's stomach. "I'm not a visitor. I'm his—" Assistant? No, not anymore. Friend? That didn't begin to cover it. "I was with him through the entire ordeal."
