Queen Takes King, Checkmate.

Chapter Thirty-five

Jamesons POV.

I woke up feeling rather cold, groggy and half awake still, I stretched my arms out infront of me and yawned only to suddenly be interrupted by a set of thin arms tightening momentarily around my waist before relaxing.

My eyes still felt dry from sleep and I smiled while I rubbed them, I didn't need to look behind me to know who was pressed right up against my back with her breasts against my shoulder blades and arms around me, letting me know that she was still shirtless from out actions earlier.

I can honestly say I have never had dry sex before, but with Charlie it felt amazing and just as pleasurable as the real deal...

But remembering just how cold this night air was and the fact that we were still in the infirmary, made me pull myself out of my thoughts and focus on Charlie entirely.

She needed to stay warm, I didn't want her fetting sick and losing any more weight than what she already had these past few days.

with carefully executed movements, I untangled Charlie's arms from around me and managed to slide off of the bed without waking her, she only sighed and pulled her arms up to wrap around herself in this cold.

I picked up my shirt from the floor, slipping it over my head quickly before collecting the one Charlie had been using and looking up at her again, another smile creeping across my face as I did.

Seeing her like this, so vulnerable and happy... it made me happy because it was a complete turn around as to how she had been when we were first together... a part of me still hoped that even after eveything she had been through, that after her own father had broken her, I hoped that her firey spirit hadn't burned out...

With a small sigh, I kneeled one knee on the matress, gently sliding one hand underneath Charlie's side to wrap around and splay across her back so I was able to help her sit up again, doing my best to ignore the fact that she was indeed completely topless still and as tempting as ever.

She mumbled in her sleep for a moment, her baby blue eyes cracked open partially only to smile sleepily when she saw me beside her and let herself curl into my chest rather than stay sitting up.

Yes, she was a very different person to when we first me because back then, she would've torn me a new asshole for waking her let alone when she was half naked.

"Charlie, come on, you need to put your shirt on, it's getting cold" I whispered by her ear softly, knowing that even in her half awake state that she would listen when I did that.

She reluctantly sat up, remaining seated as I gently pulled her shirt over her head and helped her slip her arms into the sleeves before she yet again, leaned forward and rested her head against my chest.

"I want to go to bed" She mumbled, a hand of hers lazily lifting to grab a fistful of my shirt as her eyes stayed closed.

I was sitting in front of her on the bed still, enjoying the feel of her in my arms and against my chest, with her letting me embrace her and bundle her close to me.

"You are in bed, you can sleep now" I whispered back reassuringly, placing a kiss just below her ear as I held her, trying to lull her back to sleep.

But she was having none of it, even when she was half asleep she knew what she wanted.

"No, I want to go to bed, our bed. I miss our bed" She mumbled, sitting so still as I held her to me, hearing what she meant.

She wanted to leave the infirmary and go back upstairs to our room, to sleep in our bed...

"But you need to be here, where Dr Namara can help you and"- She cut me off quickly by grabbing my shirt with her other hand aswell now but still not moving away from me.

"I'm fine now, I can't get any worse. I want to sleep with you in our bed... please..." She whispered, her voice sounding desperate and it made me sense through our bond the feeling that she didn't like being here in the infirmary...

It made me feel bad for all the hours she had been in here alone...

"Okay, okay. But Dr Namara will be coming to check up on you in the morning in there then" I assured her, attempting to slide a hand under her knees and back to lift her but she quickly avoided my hands by slapping them away.

I now stood beside the bed, seeing her seated still and eyes side open now, "I want to walk there" she said firmly.

She didn't even wait for my help when she swung her legs out and placed her bare feet onto the cold floor.

I didn't move to get closer, knowing from past experiences that she would only accept my help if she had no other options.

But her independence didn't last long when she slowly went to stand on her own two feet, only for her left leg to collapse under her weight and for her to fall forward into my awaiting arms.

"Careful!" I scolded, my desperate need to help my injured mate was driving my wolf and I crazy.

"No, I dont want you to carry me" she quickly defended, slapping my hands away for the second time when I went to pick her up.

With a frustrated sigh, I looked down at her as she leaned into me, my hands around her waist to help her stand.

"You're so bossy" I laughed, seeing her frustrated look also but she lightened up a little when she looked up to see me smiling down at her.

"Shut up before I break your leg too" she snapped playfully, kissing my cheek lightly as she did.

"That's my girl" I sighed, taking her right arm and wrapping it around my shoulders while I used my free arm to keep wrapped securely around her waist to hold her up.

"This way, you can walk but I wont let you fall" I promised her, holding her close to my side as she smiled up at me brightly.

It was a look that melted my heart and made me go weak at the knees, a smile that I wished and hoped I could see more often if she weren't always worrying about the threat of war... and Markus...

But that pup would be dead within the week, his fate was certain now that Charlie wanted him dead too, I would be willing to head over to his packhouse myself and kill him with my bare hands. Having to deal with his pack would be the second thought to cross my mind afterwards.

I'd do anything to see her smile like this everyday...
