Good evening everyone!
I hope everyone had a good week.
Please enjoy the chapter!
Derek?
Looking around, instantly realizing I was in his room. And it felt like I was run over by a bus.
"Derek?"
Hearing the stairs creek, a few seconds later Derek walked in.
"Hey."
"Hey."
Smiling I moved some hair out of my face as he walked over and sat next to me on the bed, obviously a little lost at what to do.
"How long was I out?"
"Only a few hours."
"Do I look like hell?"
He laughed at my bluntness.
"No, but your not going to be on your feet for a few days."
"Why?"
He shook his head and lifted the covers to reveal my right calf and my left thigh wrapped in heavy gauze.
"Oh lord, damn kanima."
"How did you know what it was?"
I laughed, grabbing his arm, only to see my right arm wrapped in gauze as well.
"Wow, did you dress my wounds?"
"No."
Seeing his face of utter failure I started laughing.
"What happened?"
"After calming your brother down, and explaining what you are, I took you to the vet and he fixed you up."
"Oh, ok. What are you gonna do today without me?"
He sighed, sitting back and wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me to him.
"I don't know."
Laughing I curled against him, enjoying the feeling of his chest rising and falling.
"I knew it was a kanima because of the smell."
"You could smell it?"
Sighing I nodded, feeling him rub my shoulder.
"You couldn't smell it?"
"I was paralyzed in eight feet of water relying on a teenager to not let me drown."
Laughing, I curled closer to him.
"A kanima smells, quiet literally, like death. But when it's back to its natural state, it smells normal."
Derek sat up, moving me with him, looking up in curiosity, as Derek was obviously deep in thought.
"What is it?"
He shook his head, smiling at me.
"It's nothing."
Rolling my eyes, sitting up and looking at Derek.
"Well, I'm not sitting around here all day."
"The vet said you need to stay off your feet until tomorrow."
"And I don't care, just because I don't heal as fast as you do, doesn't mean I'm going to stay in bed all day."
Swinging my feet off the bed, taking a deep breath, forcing myself to my feet. Only for pain to shoot through my legs and for me to collapse in pain on the floor.
"I told you."
"Shut up Derek."
Grabbing the bed I worked myself back onto my feet, ignoring the pain as I took a few steps before falling again. Only to be caught by Derek.
"I say you stay in bed."
"And I say that's boring."
He laughed, placing me back on the bed, shaking his head as he turned to walk out the door.
"You know if you leave me, I'll just find a way to get up."
"Good luck."
Rolling my eyes, focusing on my legs as I heard him walk out the front door. After a few moments I tried to stand again, falling back against the bed.
"Yep, I'm stuck."
After several long hours of trying to walk and falling down in pain, I finally made it downstairs. Well, fell downstairs is more what happened. Sitting on the bottom stair I watched the front door, waiting for something to happen since I couldn't get back up to Derek's room.
Hearing a car drive up, I smiled as Derek's scent hit my senses.
It's about time.
Watching as he opened the door; looking at me in amusement.
"I told you I would find a way."
He laughed, crouching in front of me.
"And you can't get back up on your own can you?"
"Nope."
Throwing my arms around his neck, smiling when he reached down to pick me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. Enjoying the closeness with my mate to be.
(Derek's POV)
Holding her close to me, her lavender scented hair making it hard to concentrate on walking up the stairs to my room.
Hearing her start purring I looked down to see neon green eyes starring back up at me, black lines delicately covering her face and neck.
"You shifted on me my little Gato."
She purred louder, running her tongue up my neck causing me to growl lightly at her. Gently laying her down the bed, watching as she pulled me down to kiss her. Smirking into the kiss, quickly yanking off my jacket and tossing it to the side before focusing on her.
Pulling back, I focused on her neck, biting it lightly causing her to whine. Smirking I licked at the spot I had a few nights ago, growling as she ground her hips up against mine. Reaching down I ripped her tank top in half. Pulling back to see her in a hot pink bra with a jewel in between her breast. As I reached to ripped it off she grabbed my hand.
"You rip this, and we're stopping now."
Nodding I pulled my hand back and went back to kissing her, kissing along the delicate lines that covered her body. Running my fingers along the straps of her thong, making her whine and push more against me.
"Please Derek?"
Looking up in shock at her voice, smiling gently at her, knowing it was going to be a long day.
Glancing over at my mate as she slept, in our bed, the blue sheets covering her naked form from the world. Sighing, I finished pulling my pants on before walking outside, looking up at the night, not ready to leave her, but knowing I have to kill the kanima that dared to threaten my mate and my pack.
I know, I know, it was to short.
But I put this on a T rating and I didn't know what I could get away with.
Anyway, let me know what you think, and I will update soon!
