AN: First I want to warn you...There's not that much of an action in this chapter. Second: I'm aware of the fact that Roman has an older brother in the real life, but I just didn't want to use him in the story. Leave reviews. Thanks.:)))
Helen was sitting in the big comfy armchair, reading a book. Outside was raining quietly, calmingly. But she still felt some kind of worry and couldn't tell why. Helen seemed to forget that feeling for a bit as one of the maids entered the room.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Helen. We have guests."
"Guests?" Helen asked, surprised. She didn't expect anyone.
"The master's brother and his wife."
Helen got up from the chair. She fixed her light blue dress a little.
"Invite them in, please." The maid nodded and made her way out of the room. In a few short minutes Helen wasn't alone anymore. She was joined by three people: Tall, big, dark-haired guy; skinny blond woman and…for her biggest surprise – Dean Ambrose. She made an effort to remain calm.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Reigns. I'm Jake – Roman's older brother and this is my beloved wife – Katherine and our closest friend – Dean Ambrose." The man extended his hand to Helen.
"You can call me just Helen. No need to be so official. We are a family now." Helen smiled widely as she shook his hand. She took a better look at his face and had to admit that he and Roman were nothing alike. At least on the outside. He had very normal brown eyes, crooked nose and rather dark skin. Yes, Roman was kind of swarthy too, but you couldn't straight guess hisPolynesian blood. His brother on the other hand was a totally different story. But Jake's dark brown, almost black hair was the only thing that he and Roman seemed to have in common.
Helen shook Katherine's hand as well. The woman smiled widely at her, showing her perfectly white teeth, but her blue eyes remained cold and emotionless. Helen wouldn't define her as beautiful. Katherine was skinny, rather bony you could say, which wasn't attractive at all.
Helen took a glance at Dean Ambrose. She made a bow for him, to which he answered with slight nod of his head.
"Mr. Ambrose, I'm glad to see you again." Helen said politely.
"You've met?" Jake raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, a couple of times. Mr. Ambrose saved my life once…and he was on our wedding." Helen explained.
"Oh…the wedding! About that I have to apologize. We didn't attend your wedding. I had some business to do. I'm an awful brother."
"Oh…no worries. It's just a wedding. If you ask me I wish I didn't attend it myself." Helen said with a smile. She hurried to add: "Not because of Roman, of course. I just don't like big events with a lot of people."
"I understand…" Jake smiled.
"Oh…but please…take a seat."
The four of them sat down.
"Roman should be back for dinner. He never mentioned that we'll be having so dear guests."
"He didn't? Maybe he has forgotten. He knew we were going to come. He told me he would go hunting today. Even invited me with him and his people, but sadly, we couldn't come here earlier. "
"I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to go hunting. The season has just started. "Helen smiled. "How do you and Mr. Ambrose know each other?"
Jake looked at Dean for a minute and then answered:
"We used to be a business partners long time ago and here we are today – close friends." Jake explained. Helen smiled and nodded. Jake added: "Oh… and Helen…I'm pleasantly surprised by your appearance. I didn't expect that. But…Lord…you are beautiful. "
Katherine and Dean looked at Jake, both of them seemed unhappy of his words. Helen cheeks flushed in red.
"Thanks "She whispered.
Helen was left alone with Mr. Ambrose in the room, while Jake and Katherine went to take baths. She didn't want to be alone with him, but she had to deal with the situation.
"Roman wouldn't be happy to see you here, Mr. Ambrose." Helen broke the uncomfortable silence.
"I know." Dean simply answered.
"Why are you here?"
"I was invited by my friend."
Helen wasn't sure that he was being honest, but she didn't say anything. The silence filled the room once again. Until Dean broke it.
"So…the big guy had his way with you?"
"What?" Helen asked dumbfounded. She couldn't believe he was asking her such a thing.
"You are not an innocent little girl any more, are you? Reigns made you a woman, right?" Dean asked, coming closer to her. Helen didn't want him close to her at all. He made her feeling things she should be feeling for anyone, but her husband.
"Not any of your business." She hissed under her breath, pissed off. "Whatever happens, when our bedroom door closes, doesn't concern you, Mr. Ambrose."
"Why not? Was it that bad?" Dean smirked. Helen was totally mad now. She knew that was his intention, but she felt as if she had to defend Roman's honor.
"It wasn't bad at all, Mr. Ambrose. Roman is an experienced man. Talented big guy. He knew what he was doing and I reached my climax…. Not just once." Helen closed her eyes and moaned slightly by the thought of last night. "All night long, Mr. Ambrose. All. Night. Long."
Before Dean could answer anything, there were noises and rushed steps from the outside. In a minute the same maid that had announced the arrival of the guests came again in the room. She was looking pale and as if she was going to throw up.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Helen. The master is back. He is… uh… hurt."
"Roman is hurt?" a sudden wave of fear ran through Helen's heart. The maid nodded. "Where is he?"
"They brought him to Mrs. Adams to take care of his wounds." Mrs. Adams was an old little woman that took care of every kind of illness, pain, wound.
Helen didn't hesitate for a minute and ran down the house to Mrs. Adams room, followed by Dean. There were worried people in front of the room. Most of them were men. Helen decided they were part of his people. She went to walk in, but was stop by dark muscular guy. She had never seen him before, but considering the fact that she was new in this house, it was kind of normal.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Helen, but its better if you just stay and wait here." Helen shook her head.
"But Roman is in there…in pain…he maybe needs me."
She felt hands, wrapped around her shoulders and Helen was pressed to strong chest.
"Relax, Hel. He'll be fine. No need to worry that much." Seth whispered in his sister's ear. She had almost forgotten that her brother went hunting too. Helen buried her head in his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"What happened, Sethie?"
"I'm not sure. It happened so fast that no one saw anything. We were sitting for a break in the one moment and there was a shot in the other. Maybe it's just a wrong shot from the some other hunters. You know…it's the season. The bullet only grazed Romans shoulder after all. He really is lucky that it didn't stay in his arm, otherwise he would be in a lot of trouble right now…Don't worry. Your big guy will be fine."
Helen nodded her head, a bit relaxed now, but still stayed in Seth's arms. She really hoped that her brother was right.
