\u201cAnd you, Haskell, are getting smoother by the day,\u201d Larissa said with a wink. \u201cSince you came all this way, lunch is on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s smile widened. \u201cI\u2019d like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa called Paddy\u2019s Home and ordered their signature meal for two, asking for it to be delivered as soon as possible. After hanging up, she took a small box of freeze\u2013dried food from her bag and poured it onto a folded piece of paper on her desk. She then tapped the succulent planter on her desk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLunch time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that taken care of, she retrieved her acupuncture kit and sat on the sofa. \u201cWe\u2019ll do the acupuncture first. The food should be here by the time we\u2019re done. Then you can eat while Sage and Snowy give you a leg massage. The ultimate VIP experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell brought a hand to his mouth to hide a faint cough. He certainly wouldn\u2019t describe a leg massage from two snakes as the \u201cultimate VIP experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shadow and Snowy, who had been napping in the planter, knew it was time to work. They slithered out and began nibbling on their meal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before starting, Larissa gently probed the bones in Haskell\u2019s knee. \u201cHow does it feel? Still painful?\u201d Haskell shook his head. \u201cIt\u2019s much better than before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d Larissa said, her gaze shifting with professional focus to his well\u2013muscled calves. \u201cYour leg hair seems to be growing in thicker. It looks like the custom oil I made for you is working wonders.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though he was used to her bluntness, Haskell was still taken aback. He laughed, a mix of amusement and affection in his voice. \u201cIf you keep staring like that, Larissa, you\u2019re going to make me blush.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBlushing from just a look? What if I\u2026\u201d She playfully tugged on a few leg hairs. \u201c\u2026did this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chuckled at her antics. \u201cYou\u2019re so cute, Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was so earnest that she paused, letting go. \u201cI\u2019m blatantly harassing you, and you call me cute. Is this what they mean by \u2018beauty is in the eye of the beholder\u2018?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you harass me, what else could it be but cute?\u201d he said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. \u201cThe real problem would be if you were indifferent to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNever. I could never be indifferent to you,\u201d she said, taking out a needle. \u201cNow, back to the knee. If the pain is lessening, it means the bone fragments are starting to fuse properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then looked up at his handsome face. \u201cThe first time I saw you, you were in this wheelchair. I\u2019ve never seen you stand. I can\u2019t wait to see what you look like on your feet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even sitting down, she could tell from his long legs that he was well over six feet tall, with a lean, powerful build. He was the definition of a dreamboat. Although he hadn\u2019t walked in months, his regular physical therapy had prevented any muscle atrophy, and his legs were still perfectly sculpted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Larissa found herself daydreaming about him standing, fresh from a shower with just a towel around his waist, his chest, abs, and muscular legs on full display. It would be a breathtaking sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s eyes softened. \u201cWhen I can stand again, there are so many things I want to do with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Like what?\u201d Larissa asked, intrigued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to carry you in my arms, give you piggyback rides, and have you stand on your tiptoes to kiss me,\u201d he said without a hint of embarrassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell, you\u2019re leaving out the most important part.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
