Chapter 13 - the week of Hell (part 2)

Veronicas POV

I slowly start to wake up and snuggle my head into a warm chest. I smile remembering last night. The date with Hade and the mind-blowing sex. I giggle to myself wondering how I got into this situation.

"What are you giggling for so early in the morning Kitten?" I hear Hade ask in a deep husky voice. Ah, I just love a guy's sleepy voice! "Oh nothing, just thinking about last night," I say while leaning on my elbow to look at him. His eyes are hazy as he watches me with one arm behind his head and the other around my waist. He just smiles, "I'm just glad you enjoyed the date, Kitten. I wanted to make sure you didn't hate me after what my father did at the gala." 

I see sadness flash across his eyes. I wonder why he didn't do anything about what his father was doing at that moment if he wasn't part of it. I honestly didn't even care at this point in time. I've made the decision to cut off the Roy brothers after how they treated me. Even though they were the ones that put me in that fucking position in the first place. 

I shrug, "I'm honestly over it. I've got other things to worry about." I groan as I remember I was supposed to go home last night, not sleep over at some dude's house after a first date. So much for not giving it away on the first date Veronica. 

I sigh as I reach for my phone on the bedside table, "My father is going to kill me for not coming home last night." 

"I've already spoken to your father and he was okay with it, he knew I would keep you safe," Hade says with a calming voice. I thank him and give him a hug then lean back into him with my arm over his chest. He goes quiet for a moment and I look up at him to see him staring at my bandaged arm with pity and what I think is a bit of anger. 

I look away from him with embarrassment and bring my arm to my chest in an attempt to hide it. He gently takes my arm in his hand and kisses it softly, "I never want you to feel like the world will be a better place without you kitten."  I feel my eyes well up with tears and look away from him to hide them. 

He puts his hand under my chin and turns my face towards him, "Don't be embarrassed, I'm here for you kitten. If you ever need someone to talk to or if you just want some extra attention, I'm here." he says the last part with a wink and I giggle a little bit remembering what we did last night again. I nod and he gives me a tight hug with a kiss on my forehead, making me feel small but protected when I'm in his arms.

"Could I use your shower?" I ask shyly while rubbing the back of my neck. He sniffs the air and makes a playful disgusted face, "Oh, is that what I'm smelling in here? I thought it was just me." We both laugh and he stands up. 

I take a second to remember we are both still fully naked and I admire the sheer length of him standing at full attention. My cheeks begin to burn bright red and I feel myself getting wet already just at the pure sight of him. He smirks at me and holds his hand out to help me stand up, "Why don't we take this well-needed shower together Kitten." I silently nod and bite my lip as I follow him to the bathroom. 

After a very long and steamy shower, i'm clean but I'd never felt so dirty in my life before. If you get what I mean. We get dressed and spend the next few hours watching movies and just being lazy, making out on the couch while half watching the movies. I hear my phone ring and I answer it, "Hi Dad"

"Yeah okay, I guess it is time to come home."

"Yeah, I'll see you soon. Bye, love you too"

I hang up and groan, "My dad wants me to come home." I lean back into Hade's chest as we lay on the couch. "That's alright Kitten, we have had quite a long date if you think about it. Dinner, Club, Sex, Shower, and movies." He says and I giggle and agree with him.
