It had been a few weeks since Hannah had been kidnapped and tortured. Claude had brought her home a few days after what happened, taking care of both Hannah and Alois. Alois didn't like not having all the attention but he just had to deal with it for now because Hannah was still bedridden. Once she healed though, he planned on making her really busy so that Claude would pay attention to him instead of her. Claude was relieved beyond belief that Hannah wasn't going to die.

Hannah was laying up in bed, a bandage wrapped around her stomach to heal her cracked ribs. Her whole body ached uncontrollably at times but when Claude had brought her medicines to dull the pain, she felt better. Everytime she saw Claude though, her stomach had gotten butterflies because of how she felt for him. She had wanted to tell him many times how she felt but every time she tried, she got scared because of Alois and what he could do to her.

It was getting close to the time where Claude brought her the medicine he was giving her and she was starting to get those butterflies again.

"This time I'm going to tell him," she thought as she laid there and waited. Claude came into the room a few minutes later, carrying the medicine that would dull her pain.

"How are you feeling Hannah?," he asked as he walked over to her bed.

"I'm hurting but other than that I'm ok," she replied. Claude had a tray in his hands. The tray had the drink with the medicine in it and a piece of cake on a plate. She smiled at him as he set the tray down on the nightstand and handed her the cup. She drank it slowly, making sure to be careful not to jar her ribs. Claude stood there watching curiously until she was done. He took the cup and set it down on the tray then leaned down to her level.

"I need to tell you something I've been meaning to tell you for awhile now," he said calmly. Hannah made eye contact with him, her heart starting to beat unevenly and irregularly because of her feelings for him. She nodded so he knew she had heard him, even though he was a demon and could probably hear her heart racing. A small smile played across his lips as he listened to her heart race for a moment as he thought of a way to tell her how he felt.

Finally, he sighed and turned to meet her gaze. He put his hands gently on either side of her face. Hannah blushed a deep scarlet as he did so.

"I love you Hannah. I've loved you ever since that time in the basement, I just haven't had the chance to tell you until now. I want you to be mine and mine alone." Hannah looked at him with fear in her eyes, Claude knew that fear was caused by Alois.

"Don't worry I will protect you from Alois, I won't let him hurt you." She nodded then said,

"Sir... I... I've been in love with you too... for awhile now. I've just been so afraid of Alois that... I couldn't tell you." The small smile came back, playing across his lips before he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. She kissed him back, her passion for him escalating beyond what she normally felt. He felt her emotions and kissed her more passionately, holding her face in his hands still. She slowly reached her hands up to his face, pulling his face away from hers so he could look her in the eyes. Claude saw lust in her eyes and decided they needed to stop for now because her body still hasn't healed completely.

Claude sighed, taking her hands away from his face and she sighed too.

"I promise once your healed, we'll do anything you desire Hannah," Claude said to her as his voice was laced with lust. She nodded and smiled at him, adjusting her position in bed because she had become uncomfortable. Claude turned back to the tray on the nightstand and picked up the plate with the piece of cake, handing it to her.

"Can you feed it to me?," she asked quietly. He took it back from her, cutting a bite off and feeding it to her. She ate it and he continued the process until it was gone.

"Thank you... sir," she said and smiled at him. He put the plate and fork back on the tray, leaning down and giving her a quick kiss before straightening up.

"Get better Hannah," he replied taking the tray then going to the door.

"I will," she replied as she shut her eyes to go to sleep. It was a habit for her to sleep after Claude had came. He quietly opened the door and stepped out, going to take care of Alois now.

Well that's the end, hoped you liked it and please review so I know if I should go on or not. Love y'all 3
