The Doctor's Mate

Chapter 26

Elise's POV

At 8 the next morning I was ready to clock out. I lazily drifted down to the 3rd floor and signed out for the day. All the nurses seemed to be in a subconscious state of being. It had been a long night. I leaned against the desk and closed my eyes sleepily.

A pair of strong arms engulfed me, and someone blew in my ear. "No, not now," I groaned as Michael chuckled. He gently picked me up bridal style and carried me to the elevator.

"You look like you just ran a marathon."

"I feel so tired. It was a long night."

"I know, just go to sleep. It's fine." I snuggled closer to him, breathing in his scent. My arms were around his neck as he held me. I smiled to myself as he kissed my forehead. ...

Michael's POV

She cuddled into me as I walked out of the elevator. Nurses stated at us with envy as I walked out of the hospital. Elise shifted a little, loosening her grin on me. She let me know she was officially asleep.

I looked down at my beautiful mate, her hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat, her face flushed and some makeup smeared. She looked like she'd been working for 24 hours non stop. I know that their floor had a flood of patients but I didn't know it was this bad.

I gently pulled the door open to the car and placed her in her seat. She rolled over to the inside and her head fell. Quickly I hopped in my side and fixed it so her neck wouldn't hurt. The whole car ride she stayed asleep.

Elise's POV

I woke to Michael cussing. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. The pack is just here."

"Oh, okay. It's fine." I smelled a barbecue in the back and heard kids screaming in the back yard.

"Are you sure? I can send them home so you can rest."

"No it's fine. I want to talk to the pack doctor anyway. I don't feel well." I spoke quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me. What do you mean not feel well? What's wrong?"

"My stomach just hurts, that's all."

"Okay, fine. Lets go." He angrily got out of the car. I wasn't lying but Michael assumed I was. I sighed loudly and opened my door before going over to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped on his back, he made a noise deep in his throat before walking on.

"I need a shower."

"Yeah you do." He huffed. I swatted at his head.

"Jerk!"

"Kidding, just kidding."

"Just take me upstairs, quick I don't want them to see me looking all ratchet."

"You don't look ratchet. But as you command." He used unhuman like speed to get us upstairs. Next thing I know I'm standing in the bathroom in front of him fully naked. I tugged my hair out of its ponytail and hopped in the shower before he could do anything. He growled lowly.

"Give me two minutes."

"Elise..." He moaned and whined.

"We will not have shower sex until the wedding night, I wanna save something."

"Okay, I can deal." He walked out of the bathroom and I quickly sudded up and rinsed. I hopped out of the shower and realized that all the towels were in the room. Hoping an praying Michael wasn't in there I ran for it. I picked up the bed sheet just as he walked in.
