Queen Takes King, Checkmate.

Chapter Thirty-eight

Charlotte's POV.

"Do you need help?" Jameson softly asked me as he emerged from our bathroom dripping wet with only a towel around his slim hips.

I was now sitting up with my legs hanging off of the bed, I looked up and saw him walking over to me in that innocently sexy way only he could.

"No" was my immediate answer, until I realised that I couldn't exactly stand on my own anymore... I needed to let go a little...

He smiled and came to a stop right infront of me, the planes of his broad chest in line with my eyes, watching the few droplets roll down and disappear into the border of the towel he was wearing.

He leaned down a little, his hands softly cupping my face and forcing me to look up at him, just in time for his lips to meet mine.

He smelled of his wonderous white musk and spices... my Jameson... and tasted of mint from his freshly brushed teeth...

But of course, our tender moment was interrupted by the sudden knocking against the bedroom door.

Jameson sighed loudly, clearly as annoyed as I was as he pulled away and approached the door.

"Jameson!" I hissed, reminding him that he was wearing only a towel.

"Hey, this is my bedroom..." He shrugged as if that were enough of an answer "...whoever is knocking knows what they might be interrupting... Especially when you're in here with me" I blushed scarlet red as he said that without any hesitation.

I let myself fall backwards onto the bed with my arm covering my eyes as he opened the door, I couldn't look whoever it was in the eyes when they saw him wearing just a towel and me in only his oversized shirt...

A few voices could be heard by the door, a quick conversation before the doors were closed again and I heard Jameson walking across the room to me again.

Without uncovering my eyes, I had to ask "did whoever it was think the were interrupting something and quickly scurried away in embarrassment?"

I heard Jamesons breathless laugh until I was very suddenly and unexpectedly being straddled by him... and his very naked body.

It was barely covered by the towel anymore as it had opened a little at his upper left thigh to allow his legs to open wide enough to straddle me.

But I felt the dampness of his thighs and legs against mine as he sat carefully over my hips, obviously not with all his weight though.

I opened my eyes curiously, removing my arm to see him holding something in his arms that made me prop myself up on my elbows a little in interest.

"That was Dr Namara that dropped by, to give you these" he said carefully, holding the pair of crutches in his hands and placing them down onto the bed beside me.

But why he was putting them down and still straddling me was a puzzle... what was he getting at?

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, not just because I could see something was troubling him but because having him like this, naked and so close... it left me breathless with desire.

Jameson sighed, running the backs of his knuckles over my cheek slowly "I can't stop thinking about what your father did to you..."

"Jameson, we've already talked about this, I'm fine, I'm"- He cut me off before I could finish.

"You're not fine Charlie, he nearly killed you... you cant walk because of him... I feel so helpless and it hurts to see you like this" He groaned with a pained expression.

I knew how furious my father made him, I bet he couldn't wait to tear his throat out and do whatever it took to take Markus down too.

"I can still kick your ass anyday" I threatened jokingly, smiling up at him to try to lighten the mood a little.

He laughed quietly, leaning down and placing a breif kiss on my mark "That's my girl" Jameson beamed as he sat back up and I could now see the smallest of smiles.

"What are your plans for today?" I asked curiously, suggestive thoughts filling my mind with him still straddling me in only his towel, but the things I had in mind would take up the whole day.

"Well, my morning is all yours but by one, Jackson and I are heading up north just for some quick scouting, we wont be back until tonight though"

I was confused and a little annoyed "How come you didn't tell me about this earlier?"

"I didn't want to worry you" he said simply but that just annoyed me more.

"I wish you would tell me these things" I whined, my fingers unconciously finding their own way to the knot of Jamesons towel.

"I wish you'd just relax and let me handle eveything" he said in a playful tone that mimicked mine.

I mumbled under my breath and continued to lay on my back, looking up at my mate as my fingers fiddled with his towel.

Jameson grinned and leaned over me with his hands on the bed beside my head, "Don't mutter under your breath, its very rude" he mumbled deeply and I found it to be very sexy considering the position we were in.

I scoffed and then let my hands rest on his bare thighs, "Rude? Says the one who is naked and being rather rude himself"

I saw the glint in his eyes when I mentioned the naked part, he leaned down and gently kissed my lips before sitting back up fully and making me frown.

He was teasing... this was his game...

"Might I remind you that you are just as naked as I am" he suggested, hooking his fingers into the collar of his shirt and pulling it down lower to reaveal the tops of my breasts.

"Oh, I know. I was just thinking that if you keep teasing me like this then I'll never let you get to that meeting with Jackson." I said simply as if it were no big deal.

"Wouldn't you now?" He pressed, leaning down and running the tip of his tongue over my breasts very slowly and provocatively.

I gasped slightly at the sensation of it, it had been so long since we last mated...

"Oh yes, its been a while since we last... you know, and I'm pretty sure that it'll take a few hours to fix that" I felt his breathless laugh more than I heard it, his cool breath fanning across my chest and underneath the shirt I wore.

"Well, since I'll have to be leaving soon, promise me that you'll be here, in our bed, completely naked and waiting for me to fix that problem the moment I get back?" He said slowly and softly by my ear, my hands grasping his thighs tightly as he did.

"I promise" I whispered, kissing his neck just below his ear as I did.
