Twenty-Two (H.S)

Chapter 38

So now I knew what H was keeping from me, the same men who had come to my farm in the middle of the night all those weeks ago were the same men that had shot H. I was a little scared knowing that seeing as they could still come after us again. I wasn't sure if they had made the connection between H and I, probably not, but it was still a concerning coincidence nonetheless.

I made H promise to not keep anything else from me again, even if it was hard to hear or scared me I was better off knowing so I could be prepared or even help out if needed.

After H, Jax and I had the little chat we played a couple games of cards which has turned into a common thing around here lately seeing as H was still in bed so there wasn't much he could do. He was playing better every game which was causing a major ego boost for himself.

Jax resigned to his hut just after 11pm leaving H and I for the night.

"Wanna do me a favour love?" H piped up after we'd finished packing away all the cards.

"Yeah? And what's that?"

"I'm feeling awfully dirty tonight" He winked over at me, I rolled my eyes at him. I knew where he was wanting to take this and I wasn't going to lie, I was feeling a little the same but he still had his stitches in and I didn't want to hurt him.

"Oh is that so" I crawled a little further up the bed. His eyes went wide and his tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip, damn.

"Care to be my nurse for the night?" He whispered to me, our faces so close I could feel his hot breath fan out across my cheeks as he spoke.

"That depends" I replied teasingly.

"Hmm on what?"

"If you're going to be a good patient or not" I shrugged back, a smirk broke out on H's face as he reached out to cup my face in his hands.

"Don't worry about me baby, I'll be on my best behaviour" He leant forward and our lips met with each other, sparks flying as he deepened the kiss. His hand migrated to the back of my neck and he pulled me into him.

Or lips blended together like a perfect symphony, he was warm and inviting and it was the best feeling ever. I pulled back after a few minutes, the disappointment due to my action clear on his face.

"I'll help you to the shower now" I stood up and extended my arm out. He nodded before pushing the blankets back and twisting in the bed so his feet could reach the floor.

Although Cruze had been working with him on walking around a little he still wasn't fully recovered and as strong as he once had been, he hadn't left his hut yet either so I supported him to raise to his feet and move to the bathroom.

"I'll get you in and then get some fresh clothes"

"You're not coming in with me?" He pouted "What if I fall?"

"I'll be right here" I reassured him but apparently he wanted more which is how I ended up in the shower for the second time tonight, only this time I wasn't alone.

"Eyes up H" I warned as I grabbed the soap and passed it to him to wash himself. He took it from me and lathered himself up and smirked at me.

"Can't help myself Love" He laughed holding his hands up in front of him "You're so beautiful, can't take my eyes off of you"

"Shh you" I rolled my eyes blushing at his words.

"Come here" He pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me, in an instant everything felt okay.

While I was in his arms there was no bad in the world.

Surprisingly being this close to each other while fully naked in a shower together was the most intimate we'd ever been, there was just something about it that I didn't know how to explain. I'm not sure how or why I felt fully comfortable in this position but I did, only for H. There's no way I would be here with anyone other than him.
