Clear Blue Sky Ch. 18
It had been close to 3 weeks, and today Evie was getting all her stitches removed, looking at the doctor with the biggest puppy eyes, "Please, tell me I can go back to everyday activities, because between my family, co-workers, and everyone in my life, I've been living in like a Tibetan monk."
Dr. Connor laughed, she couldn't help but smile, pulling the last stitch out of her side, "I give you permission to return to normal activity, still be gentle with yourself for another couple weeks, but sex, exercise, hiking, you're free to do."
"THANK YOU! Can I please get that in writing on an official piece of paper?!" she was only half joking. Her mind couldn't help but think about Hondo, and his unofficial move into her home, not that she minded, but it was weird coming home to seeing him on her couch or walking into the house. To say the least, it made Rocker look at her funny.
Laughing, she pulled out her RX pad, and wrote a little something, and handing it to her, "I release you. And if anyone of those SWAT boys gives you grief, you let me know. Men, so neanderthal like, am I right?" Giving her hand a quick shake, "It was a pleasure meeting you Ms. Powell, let's not do it again anytime soon, OK?" she teased.
Smiling at her and taking her hand, "Thank you for saving my life, and yes, I'd rather not see you again in a hospital." Evie watched as the doctor walked out of the room, and looked down at the note, holding in a snort, she was looking forward to handing this to Hondo.
Walking into HQ, Evie made her way to the war room, seeing both 50 squad and 20 squad was there, pulling out her note, she slapped on the table in front of Hondo, "Read it and weep, Daniel Harrelson!" she said with a laugh in her voice.
Hondo locked eyes with her and picked up the note, reading it, he snorted, "OK, Dixie. I will."
Donovan looked over at her, "What does it say Evie?" he asked her.
Looking over at Hondo, "It says, Back off, she's not dying. Stop being a caveman." No longer able to contain her laughter.
Everyone in the war room started laughing, after about a minute or so, everyone seemed to have gained their composure, "OK," she said wiping her eyes, "I need to go see Wendy, have a safe shift!" she said to the room, but her eyes landed on Donovan, giving him a wink as she walked away.
Rocker watched her head towards the offices, and could feel that Hondo was watching him, now wasn't the time to ask what he was looking at, their teams were getting ready to take down the top crime bosses of L.A since they were all meeting with each other in the Hotel. Gearing up, he'd deal with Hondo a little later.
Evie looked over at Wendy, "So, what's wrong with me? How come I can deal with this death a lot better than I expected?" she asked her.
Smiling at her, "I can only imagine my dear, it has a lot to do with you being a rational person, it wasn't an accident, it was survival for you and Jim. You acknowledge his death, you're not celebrating it, so, over the last couple weeks I've taught you coping techniques, and how to recognize a trigger. If you experience one, then you know how to deal with it." Placing her hand on Evie's, "You are fine, I appreciate you coming in to talk about it, I wish more of them would, but I don't think that you're in danger of spinning out."
Giving her a nod, "Thank you so much Wendy." Looking down, "So, about the Donovan thing, I've worked through the anger part, and everything else, but a small part of me is scared that if something happens like this in the future, he might bail. How does one work past that?"
Leaning back a bit, "That's the scary part Evie, you just have to trust him, or not, if you don't think you can put that trust back in it, then you'll start questioning every little thing, that's not healthy for you, or him."
Letting out a loud sigh, "Yea. I figured that was it." Sitting quietly for a few minutes, she let her body and mind wash over every detail of their relationship from start to now. It didn't take too long her to open her eyes and come to a decision, standing up, "Thank you Wendy, for everything."
"You're very welcome, Evie." She said as she walked out the door. Wendy smiled at her patient and friend; she was glad to see that Evie made her choice.
Sitting at home, she watched as Hondo packed up his clothes, "I'm going to miss you, Dixie." He said to her as he zipped up his bag.
Shaking her head, "Hondo, you will see me at work, and you're always welcome to swing by, sheesh. It was nice to have a live in nurse, but I'm sure Nichelle would prefer if her man didn't stay with another woman. So, Get out." Giving him a hug, "Please."
Rolling his eyes, "Alright," kissing her head, "You call me if you need anything. You understand?" Giving her a look that didn't broker any argument.
Smiling at him, "Of course Hondo. You know I will." With a quick hug goodbye, she shut the door behind him and locked it. It was time to relax, perhaps dance!
Getting something simple ready for dinner, Evie made some spaghetti with alfredo sauce, after dinner, she quickly showered and went to the living room, putting on her stereo she just flopped on the couch, as she started humming along with Gun's N' Roses, she felt her phone chime next to her.
TEXT:
Do you mind if I swing by?
TEXT:
Sure. I have left over spaghetti.
TEXT:
I'll see you in about 10.
Sitting up, she looked down at herself while she wasn't embarrassed about her pink fuzzy pjs, she just wasn't sure that she wanted Donovan to come over and see her in them, even though he has before. Feeling confused, they were talking a lot, and even been out a couple times, it felt nice. Standing up, she went to her bathroom, as she brushed her hair and put it in simple braid, she caught herself, it was like as she looked at her reflection the answer became very clear. She knew what she wanted, and how she wanted it.
Hearing the door ring, Evie let out a breath and went to go face her future, like an adult.
Donovan as nervous, for the last 3 weeks he's been taking everything at her pace, which was 100% OK with him, but he was worried that he broke something and there was no way to fix it. He knew that was a possibility, and no matter what she decided, when she decided it, he would be a man and except it. She deserved that much from him. Looking down at his phone, smiling that she said it was OK to swing by.
His mind couldn't help but think back towards the end of shift, when it was just him and Hondo in the locker room.
FLASHBACK
Getting his t-shirt over his head, he could feel someone watching him, looking over at Hondo, he could see that he was in deep thought. "Is there something I can do for you Hondo?" he asked him.
Shutting his locker, "Yea. Dixie is a grown woman and is capable of making her own decisions in life, but friend or not, SWAT or not, you hurt my girl. I love that girl like family. So, what I need to know is, did you step out on her?"
Taken back by his directness, but this was Hondo, and Evie was like a sister to him. "No, God no. Nothing like that. I swear."
Sitting down on the bench, "Then help me understand, I thought you two were on the road to marriage, then boom, it's over. I can see over the last couple weeks you both are spending time together. What happened man? I need to make sure she's safe with you."
Sitting next to him, he let out a laugh, "That's why I broke up with her, I wanted to keep her safe. What happened with Deacon's family, then Rodriguez, something in me snapped, and I just wanted to keep her safe, and I thought, like a dumbass that not being with me would do that." Running his hand through his hair, "But after two weeks of self-torture and a little advice from Deac, I realized that I was an idiot, and I needed to make it right before it was too late." Letting out a sigh, "So, that's what I've been doing these last few weeks, showing her that I was sorry, proving to her I was there, and letting he set the pace for our relationship."
Hondo was torn between wanting to punch him and hug him, he understood, this job does take its toll on relationships. Stroking his goatee, "Look, I kind of get it. But don't do that again, she is amazing, and any man would be lucky to have her."
Rocker tilted his head, "You?" he asked.
Letting out a sigh, "When she first got here, couldn't help it man, she was smart, sexy, and sweet, but as I got to know her, it was a brotherly love that formed. I wouldn't change it for the world." Standing up, "What you have with her is special, so, just do right by her, and we have no issues." Extending his hand.
Taking his hand and standing, "I will Hondo. I almost lost her once, I don't want to feel that way again, and I definitely do not want to make her feel pain again."
"That's all I ask, man." With that Hondo headed towards Evie's house to get his shit, it was time for Evie to get her life back.
END FLASHBACK
He could hear her heading to the door, smiling when he saw her in her lazy pjs' as she called them. "Hey."
Smiling back at him, "Come on in." Stepping aside, she walked to the island where she placed his food and sat down, she watched as he sat down. Snorting at the look he gave her, "I ate after Hondo took his crap."
Laughing at the image of her pushing Hondo out the door, he ate quickly and stood when he was done rinsing out the bowl. He could see that she was watching him.
Evie didn't want to prolong this any longer, it was time to move on. "We need to talk." Getting up she headed for the couch, she waited patiently for him to join her.
Not realizing how much those words twisted his soul, he could only nod, and make his way over to her. Sitting down, he turned his body towards her and waited.
Closing her eyes, she centered herself, "Donovan, I love you to no end, and there isn't anything more I want in my life then you." Reaching behind her, she grabbed the key he left behind when he moved out, "I want you to come home, if you want." Holding out the key.
He looked at it like it was going to bite, him, but he wrapped his giant hand around hers, and pulled her into his lap, wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her to his chest, "Oh, Evelyn, I would be honored to come home." Gently placing the key on the side table, he wrapped his hands around her hair, bringing her lips to his.
Evie let him control the kiss, she knew that he needed this. Feeling his tongue demand entrance into her mouth, she let him in. She could feel her body responding to him immediately, it felt like her whole body was on fire, pulling back, she lifted her tank top over her head, leaving her only in her pj pants, "I need you, Donovan. It's been far too long."
His eyes raked over her body, while still a little bruised, she looked just as beautiful as she did the first time that he saw her naked, his body was already hard for her, "Are you sure?" he asked.
Grinding her hips into his cock, "Yes please."
Not giving it a second thought, he gripped her legs, stood up and headed towards the bedroom. As he used his feet to shut the door, he placed her gently on the bed. Kicking off his shoes, pants, and shirt, leaving him in only his boxers. Keeping eye contact with her, Rocker leaned over the bed and pulled down her pants, taking her panties with them. Tossing them to the side, his eyes roamed over her naked body, he couldn't help but groan out. Not wanting to waste any time, he dropped his boxers, and crawled in between her legs. "Please tell me you want this." He said into her neck.
"I need to feel you inside me Donovan. Please." She begged him.
Kissing her deeply, he let one hand find her breast, the other slowly slid down her side until he reached her warm pussy, grinning darkly finding her wet, he slipped a finger into her core, moaning how tightly her body grabbed a hold of him. "Always so wet and tight for me baby."
Evie moaned as he added a second finger, "Only you." She moaned out. Grinding herself down on his finger, trying to feel the friction that he was purposely avoiding.
As he teased her, his own body started to protest the teasing, he could feel that his cock was leaking, it had been over a month and a half since he was buried deep in his love, he knew that he wasn't going to last long, pulling his fingers out of his body, he locked eyes on her as he sucked her juices off them.
She moaned loudly at the sight of him licking off his fingers, "Stop teasing me Donovan, I need you." She didn't care that she had to beg, she wanted to be connected with him.
Lining his cock up with her body, he was too far gone to be gentle, holding her legs apart he thrusted himself all the way into her body. Grunting as his balls hit her ass. Her scream of pain and pleasure soothed his soul. Not letting her adjust to him, he pulled his dick out until only an inch was left inside her, and snapped his hips forward, "Feel me, Evelyn. Every fucking inch of me." He growled out.
Her body was on fire, but in the best possible way, "Fuck." She growled out. Evie wanted to move her hips in time with him, but he held her down, which made it impossible. Letting him ravage her body, she could feel her body starting to shake with an impending orgasm, "Please, make me cum Rocker." She gasped out.
Hearing her beg him only made him want to fuck her harder into the mattress, he needed for himself to know that she belongs with him, and her to never forget. Smiling darkly at the thought of her riding him until she cums all over his dick, claiming him. But that would have to be another night, for now he needed to control this moment.
Reaching down between their bodies, gently pinching her clit, "Scream for me baby." Doubling his efforts, he knew that he didn't have much longer before he came, he needed his love to cum first.
It was like his words had a direct line on her body, as he rubbed her clit, she felt her body coil up, and when he leaned down to kiss her, she couldn't control her body any longer, screaming out his name, "DONOVAN."
His name on her lips was his undoing, her body clamped down on him, squeezing him to the point it almost hurt, "Evelyn, I love you." He moaned out as his body emptied into hers.
Collapsing on top of her, he felt her arms wrap around his shoulders, licking the side of her neck, he knew he needed to get his weight off her, gently rolling them to where she was on top of him, his cock was still deep inside of her.
Her breathing was labored but it was slowing down to a normal, placing a kiss over his heart, "I love you too, Donovan Rocker."
Slowly stroking her back, his hand settled on her hip, he wrapped her in his arms, for the first time in a month, he felt at peace. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Evie woke up with a smile on her face, she could feel herself on top of him. Looking around, she carefully got off his body, and made her way towards the bathroom, quickly showering, slowly cleaning her body, especially her lower half, it felt like it burned but it was so comforting to feel it, she missed him so much this last month. As she finished her shower, she wrapped her towel around her hair and body, taking the time to lotion herself.
Walking out to the bedroom, she found him kneeling in front of her, holding a little black box.
"Evelyn Marie Powell, I bought this ring, months ago, because I knew someday you were going to be my wife, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He asked, this is the most nerve-wracking moment in his life.
Staring down at him, she didn't think that he was even ready for that, but as quickly as she was surprised by this moment she knew what she wanted, "Yes."
