This thought made Nicole sick.
Falling head over heels for a scumbag like Jarrod was the biggest mistake she had ever made in her life.

When she saw who he was, her eyes widened and her hair stood on its end.

“Why isn’t your dad awake yet?” Jarrod asked, though he did not sound genuinely concerned about her father’s well-being.

His words might have been flippant, but Nicole felt anything but embarrassed. She knew firsthand how much more shameless Jarrod could be behind closed doors, especially in bed.
With a stern expression, Nicole reminded him in a hushed voice, “Behave yourself. We’re in a hospital.”
Jarrod just arched an eyebrow, with lust dancing in his eyes.
“And?
So what?”
“No, not here. My father’s right here. We can’t…”
Nicole’s eyes turned red with tears. Instead of showing any sign of pity for Nicole, Jarrod gripped her even harder.
