Whenever Duke sleeps, I always study his features. Like, only when he's sleeping, he has this little pout that makes him look innocent-like a child. Ever since the attack, that pout disappeared. It was as if the attack made him a different person. His innocence was taken away from him that night. Justin did something terrible-something no one would soon forget. When I feel like waking him up, I've got to talk to Duke about Justin.

"Duke. Duke, wake up. Come on, we've gotta talk," I asked as I began to shake him awake.

"Mhmmm, what?"

"We've got to talk about 'him'", I told him, as he began to sit up and rub the sleep out of his eyes.

"What about him? The fact that he almost killed me doesn't require conversation, or at least I don't think so. What's there to talk about?"

"I wanna know what you're gonna do. Pressing charges wise."

"What I'm going to do? Well, to start, I'm going to tell the police exactaly what you told me, about Justin abusing you. Then, I'm going to have that son-of-a-bitch put away for at least 10 years. After that, I'm gonna concentrate on me and you," Duke answered as he stood up and began to hobble over to the lounge chair in the corner of his room.

"What's gotten into you? I know you're in pain and upset about all of this. Three hours ago you didn't even want to hear mention of this, and now you're all ready to takle the world? There are days that I don't understand you Orsino. I'm glad that you're ready to see him, but does it have to resort to all of this?" I asked, fear obviously showing in my face and my words.

"Hastings, come here," Duke said as he patted his lap. I obediently sat down. finding my spot, the little nook in between his hip and calf,"I've thought alot about this, especially after what you told me about Drayton. He's gonna get put away for a LONG time. He'll never hurt you again - and hopefully never me either. So, stop worrying and kiss me. Please?" The puppy-dog face came out as he bent in closer. We locked lips softly. I felt at home. Duke was an amazing kisser, boyfriend, and overall amazing guy. I felt his tongue on my lips, begging, pleading for enterence into my mouth. I complied and my lips parted. Our tounges fought an epic battle, mine winning of course. I broke the kiss

"What? Why did you do that?"

"Just had to get a little more comfortable," was my answer as I placed my other leg over his right one, being ever so careful about his hip and knee. Our lips met again, tounges going wild. Our lips broke as he began kissing my neck. Soft, supple kisses, almost like whispers. I looked at him and took his shirt off. His head shot back and rested on the back of the chair as I began to rub his chest and place soft kisses along the bruises.

I began to work the spot that I knew got him going. The little nook in between you earlobe and the top of your neck is always sensitive. But in Duke's case, extremely sensitive. He was like putty in my hands once I started working it. Soft little kisses along the area and light finger touches was all he needed. Every so often, a moan would escape from his lips.

"You like that don't you?" I asked, as I began to kiss him again.

"Yea. I want you, Vi. I need you."

"You're not supposed to have sex for a few weeks. The doctor says it would aggrivate you hip. He never said anything about hardcore make-out sessions though."

It was now his turn. His kisses along my neck were more forceful, almost commanding. Oh no, he was injured. It was my turn to be in control. I pushed him back on the chair and began from where I left off. I started to kiss along the scars that he had. Where his stitches are. He would moan, deep throaty moans. I didn't know if he was in pain or not. When I looked up, he mouthed "keep going", obviously it wasn't hurting him one bit. I felt myself rise up a little bit, with pressure on my legs. He was growing, needing me. I stood up and took my shirt off. We began kissing, touching, and finally...

A/N: Sorry! This is rated teen, not mature. This chapter was the reason why I made it teen. I'm kind of developing writers block. Someone please review or private message me with ideas on how the next chapter should go. Thanks

Lots of love
