Hooked

{9}

Seconds passed as Miriam turned around to see Hook leaning against a pillar with blood staining his coat.
She ran to him before kneeling down next to him.
"I didn't know you had that in you," he said.
She placed her hands on the wound as his blood stained her hands.
"This is all my fault," she said.
"Dont blame yourself," he said.
She looked into his eyes "Stay with me" she said.
"I only wish you killed him," he said.
Miriam straddled him as she applied as much pressure as she could on the wound.
"Hook," she said.
"James.
If I die I want you to call me James" he said.
"You will not die.
I will not lose you" she said.
He looked at her "I need you" she said as their eyes met.
They looked at each other as their faces softened at the same time.
People say that eyes are the doors to the soul and now Miriam understood that.
She kept her hands on his wound as they shared intimate eye contact.
He leaned in slowly as he struggled to not hiss from the pain.
She froze as suddenly his lips pressed against hers.
He moaned into the kiss causing her to melt.
There lips fit together like puzzle pieces.
Miriam broke from him a minute after and looked at him.
She then kissed him again.
Their lips moved together as his facial hair scratched her skin.
His lips were warm and loving as they both fell in love with the feeling.
He placed his hand on both her hands as chills travelled up her spine.
They broke apart for air but even after they continued to look at each other.
"Dont leave me," she said.
"Never," he said before kissing her again.
Minutes later she broke from him before reaching for the ribbon she used on Peter.
She helped take off his jacket then his shirt revealing his blood-stained skin.
She wrapped the ribbon around him before tying it.
"Can you stand?" she asked.
"Let's stay here," he said.
"Alright," she said.
"It's alright.
I'm starting to feel better darling" he said.
"I wanted to do something.
I watched Peter kill so many men and I couldn't do anything" she said.
"I didn't expect you to fight Peter," he said.
"I let those men die and I let you get hurt," said Miriam.
"They were not good men and you saved my life darling.
Pan would've killed me but you stopped him" said Hook.
He caressed her cheek with his hook.
She grabbed her hook and wrapped her hands around it.
She kissed the metal softly.
"I do truly need you" she said.
"I know as I need you as well" she smiled.
She kissed him before cuddling on his other side.
She had never felt so much fear at once but now that it was all over and Hook was ok nothing that happened before mattered.
All that mattered is him and him only.
