Chapter 123

"Kris, I'm fine really. I was a virgin and it hurt some when Tom broke through, but other than that he's not hurt me at all. As a matter of fact it's been wonderful. We were just making love when you called," Krystal replied grinning at Tom as she ran her leg up and down his hip. "Are you alright, darling?"

"Are you talking to me or the monster that hurt you?" Krista demanded, swatting away AJ's hands as he tried to dress her. She glared at him as if this was all his fault, "Your FRIEND hurt my sister!"

While Krystal was talking to her sister, Tom had time to look down at their joined bodies. He was glad Krista could not see the bed at that moment! Blood was all over the sheets and on both of them, he'd seen less from gun shot wounds! He knew that he would need to get it cleaned up before Krystal saw it. Reaching over he turned off the bedside lamp hoping that she wouldn't notice the mess in the darkened room.

"Kris, I swear Tom didn't me hurt any worse that a man does when he takes your maidenhead. I am fine and was enjoying making love to my husband when you called. I wouldn't lie to you and no one is forcing me to say anything," Krystal said now truly worried about her sister. "Did you have a nightmare, sweetheart?"

"No, I woke up knowing you were in pain. Are you sure that you're okay and that I don't need to come over there?"

"Sweetie, I'm sorry you felt my pain, but I'm fine and there's not need to come check on me. You might fine yourself embarrassed when you got here and Tom and I were going at it hot and heavy," chucked Krystal. "Really Kris, I'm not hurt and I'm so happy."

"Is she alright, Krista?" asked AJ after finally wrapping the robe around his wife.

"I guess so," she told AJ. "Okay, Krys, if you say you're fine then I'll let you go. But if you need me you call me! I'll have Albert beat Tom's ass!"

"No way, Kris, Tom's ass is mine! Now go to bed with that new husband of yours and enjoy yourself. I'll see you tomorrow. Night sweetie, love you…oh and by the way, thanks for the mint!"

Krista hung the phone up and looked at AJ, "He hurt her and still she is happy with him!"

"Krista, she loves him and was a virgin. He couldn't help but hurt her a little. Knowing Tom as I do, he was as gentle as he could be. He loves her and wouldn't hurt her anymore than he could help," AJ promised.

"He hurt her a lot! I felt what she felt, and it was bad!"

"Come back to bed before you get sick, darling."

"Wait! I forgot something that Krys reminded me of!" she was off and running again, and because the robe had only been over her shoulders it fell off as she ran.

Trying to keep up with her after he picked up the robe AJ yelled, "Krista, where are you going now?"

"With all that happened I forgot to mint you!" she sighed as she dug through her purse; pulling out the tiny bottle with a triumphant grin she headed back to the bedroom. "Coming?" she gave him a seductive look.

Throwing the robe over his shoulder he grinned, "With a look like that how could I not follow you Darlin'. Whatever this mint is I have to learn all about it."

"I can't believe that I forgot it! I gave some to the evil Tom, and Krys thanked me, or I wouldn't have remembered at all!" she sighed and shook her head. Climbing into the middle of the bed, sitting there cross-legged and naked as the day she was born, she opened the bottle in her hands and put a drop in her palm. The room instantly filled with the scent of peppermint and she rubbed her hands together warming the oil.

"Ummmm peppermint candy. What do we do with it, make tea?" he asked looking at her knowing that some of her oils she made tea with. Peppermint tea didn't sound too bad. "Want me to put on the kettle of water?"
