Tommys pov Grace fucking threatened Rosie. It's two days later and rose isn't here but Grace is. I say "Grace can we talk in the back room?" She nods with a smile. She follows me and says "I think I know what this is about and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity for-" I wrap my hand around her fucking throat slamming her against the wall making her gasp but my hand restricts the air. I glare as she claws at my hand and I snap "if you ever threaten rose again or fuck with her work, which in turn is my work. I'll make you fucking disappear understood?" She gasps trying to talk as her face reddens "nod your fucking head grace" she does and I release her and pull her closer by the back of her neck saying in her ear as I hear that sweet voice "Tommy?" Rosie.
"You ever pull that shit again I'll make you dig your own grave understood?" She nods coughing a bit "yes" fear in her eyes. "You do whatever she fucking says just like you do for me. She's your boss if you haven't fucking noticed." And I release her and fix my suit and head out to Rosie "rose" she smiles seeing me and hands me a stack of paper "all the numbers I had to redo are done"
I ask "you took the work home?" "You wouldn't let me stay after hours" she says with a shrug. I reply "because I didn't want you to worry so much about it. How much time did it take so I can add it to your check" taking her in.

She shakes her head "it's no bother Tommy really" "you deserve payment for this rose" I reply and she goes to answer but my family comes in loudly making her tense. Fuck. She flinches slightly at Arthur's booming voice "oi tommy!" I grab her hand and mutter "breathe Rosie it's just my family. You're safe and home. Not on the front lines or in the tunnels. It's just us." She calms down and gives my hand a squeeze "come meet them i promise they're not gonna eat ya" I say with a chuckle.
she nods and we approach them and John's eyes are glued to her. I introduce them all and she gives them a shy smile and talks a bit before she rushes off for the phone in the office. John speaks "do you know who that is Tommy?" "She's my assistant. Of course I know who she is. She was also a nurse in the war" I say. He shakes his head "not just any nurse Tommy. She's the angel of the front lines. She's saved all three of us at one point or another. Especially me and you. She was the only nurse not afraid to leap into gunfire to save a man when all the others would wait to come until it was said and done. She's even gotten medals for it I think. She was the nurse that stayed by both our sides when we were shot and didn't think we were gonna make it"
Holy fuck. I didn't background check her yet believe it or not. She doesn't give off a reason to. I've followed her home to see if her address is the same as on the application. And asked around about her. Everything was true. Arthur grins "seems we got an angel in our midst." I nod "that we do. Try and quiet down 'round her. She's jumpy with loud noises and what have you" Polly asks "then should she be here?" "It's a effect the wars had on her Polly. That doesn't mean she shouldn't be able to earn her wages." "Tommy?" She voices and I ask "yes love?" Turning to see fear in her eyes "someone's demanding to talk to you. Now" she says. I approach her slightly shaking body and make her look at me "breathe rose. Right? Breathe. Ya got this. It's just us alright?" Once she settles and I've wiped the slight tears off her face "who is it and what did they say to put you in such a state" she shakes her head "nothing. I'm fine Tommy. You should really just get the phone walking around me and pouring herself a drink tossing it back. She says "I already told them to make an appointment but uh...they refused and demanded to talk to you now"
Who the fuck? Whatever that persons said it scared the hell outta her. Meaning it's business. Since the moment I set eyes on this flower I've felt protective of her. I've felt a want with her I've not felt since my ex left me for another man. Since my little fucked another dom in our bed and I caught her and she didn't care. I swore off of it. But here with Rosie. I find myself sliding into old habits. I tell her "this talk isn't over Rose. Take a few minutes to yourself and relax for me alright?" She nods and I head to the phone.
