Odette

After eating I started cleaning the dishes and made sure Eric was back in the bed. He was turning out to be a stubborn man. I told him to stay in bed but of course he refused and insisted we eat at the table. He wanted to help me with cleaning but I had to put my foot down

Finishing up I went to the bedroom and found him reading one of my books. At first I didn't think much of it until I read the title and charged towards him. I tried to grab the book but Eric was quick to move it. My cheeks turned red from embarrassment as he kept reading 

"Your books are interesting" he smirked at me 

"Where did you find that?"

"It was sitting under the pillow and I was bored. I wasn't expecting such a detailed story" 

"He lifted my shirt up as his tongue traced my neck. My body started to ache and I felt his fingers move down-"

I jumped up trying to grab the book again not wanting to hear the rest. When I reached over our legs tangled together and we fell on the ground. Eric let out a groan as I laid my body on top of him. Lifting my body I noticed my elbow was pressing into his bandages

"Omg! Are you okay?" I asked looking at him worried 

"I'm good, you didn't hurt me" he let out a breath 

This was extremely embarrassing and I forgot I had that book under the pillow. Sometimes at night I liked to read romance novels and it was a guilty pleasure of mine. Eric was turning out to be a jokester

"Can I have the book now" I pleaded as we both stood up

He surrendered and I snatched it from his hands leaving the room. I was totally embarrassed and needed to cool down. I can't believe he knows I read erotic romance. Racing to the bathroom I decided to take a bath and clam down

I was finished in the bathroom and started doing my nightly routine. Throwing on one of my sleeping gowns I stepped out and went to check on Eric. I walked up to the bed and watched him sleep. He looked comfortable and I was at ease knowing he was doing better. I grabbed Stella and walked out the room closing the door behind me

...

Waking up to the sunlight beaming from the window I found Stella not on my lap anymore and Eric in the kitchen cooking. I jolted up and looked at him confused 

"Eric why are you out of bed... again" 

"Stella woke me up and I found you sleep on the couch. I don't mean to take your bed" he said flipping the toast 

Gathering my thoughts I walked over to him, "it's fine but you should seriously be in bed" 

"I am fine little fairy. Your kindness is appreciated but let me do this" 

This man was so stubborn and if he opened a snitch I was going to be mad. I stood closer to him pressing my body to his side. I tried to stop him from cooking and go back to bed but once again his body refused to move 

"Eric, please go back to bed" I stressed trying to get him to move

He turned the stove off and moved around me to place the food on a plate. I was getting tired of him ignoring me and began following him around

"You are a stubborn man" I yelled 

He sat down at the table and watched me stand over him frustrated. It took a lot of work to get him in the house and wrap every wound. As I was about to pull him again he grabbed my wrist and forced me to his lap. I let out a gasps sitting on his leg while he looked at me smirking
