Loving His Assassin

Chapter 22 : This hurt like shit!

Edited

When I woke up this morning, I nearly had a heart attack. The most beautiful being was sleeping in front of me with his arms wrapped around my waist.

I slowly trailed my hand on his cheek wondering how long would he stay with me before leaving me behind? I hoped he would at least keep me a few weeks and if I was lucky a month or two. Or maybe when he would wake up, I would realize that everything he said was pronounced at the spur of the moment. If that's the case maybe I should just leave him now.

Yeah, that was a good idea. I should quietly get out of the bed, leave the money he gave me on his desk and disappear.

That way, I won't know if he truly meant these words or now. I wouldn't have to face denial.

I was about to get out of his grip when he just pulled me into him. I didn't dare to move, so I stayed immobile.

"I know you're awake." said the man beside me with a raspy voice.

"Good morning?" I tried.

"Morning." he sighed. "Want to tell me where were you going to? And don't even dare to lie to me."

"I was going to run breakfast. It's my turn to cook and Damon is probably already waiting in the kitchen." I lied.

He looked at me in the eye not believing a word and he growled. "You're lying. You're good, but you're lying. Come on Nyx, tell me what was going on in your mind. Tell me." he ordered.

"It was nothing important." I mumbled.

"Then why the need to lie?"

I was saved by Chris and Claire entering the room. My master head suddenly turned to their side and I thought he was glaring at them. Not sure, he was back to me.

"What?" he snapped.

"We brought breakfast for Nyx, Boss." said Claire unfazed.

"Put it on the table and leave." he said while making a sign with his head in the direction of the table.

"Yes Boss, please excuse us." answered the women while slightly pushing a shocked Chris.

Damn, it wasn't planned for him to find out so soon. I hope he wouldn't take it too badly. I thought I had some explanation to do. I sighed.

"I'm still waiting. I won't let you go until you tell me."

"I was going to leave." I whispered not daring to look at him.

"Why?" he growled. "So you lied to me yesterday, again?"

"No! I... I wasn't lying. I'm scared of what you were going to do when you wake up..." I hid my face into his chest.

"Nyx... What did I tell you yesterday?" his tone softer.

"That you won't leave me." I answered my face still flushed against his chest.

"Exactly and when I say something, I mean it. So, don't worry about that, I'll never abandon you or I'm fucking stupid to let someone like you go." he used his fingers to make me look up. "So, promise me Nyx, don't doubt me or yourself again. Can you do that?"

I nodded and Derek leaned in to give me a soft peck on the lips.

"Now is time for breakfast." he said with a smile and went to take the tray of food.

There were two portions, so I believed that everyone heard me having sex with 'aster. Well everyone except Chris. I sighed again.

"What's wrong?" asked master as he came back into the bed.

"It's Chris... He confessed to me a bit before you claimed me." I said looking the food.

"I know. We will go talk to him later, so eat." he pointed the food.

I nodded and took the fork and took a bite of scrambled eggs. I moaned, so good! Who cooked this?

I heard Derek chuckled. "It was Damon that cooked it."

"Seriously? He can cook?! I though he couldn't that's why he always ordered food."

"No, only because he's lazy and Damon don't cook for everyone, he must like you very much. What did you do to make him like you so much?" he asked and took a few bites of the pancakes and bacon.

"I don't know 'cause I just promised to cook for him for a week in exchange for a favor." I shrugged digging into the food.

"Took me five months for him to acknowledge me..." Derek pouted silently.

I nearly choked on my food. He was looking so damn cute while pouting. Never thought he would ever do that! The scary and bossy Boss of the most feared mafia was pouting!

I chuckled silently and took a sip of my coffee.

When we finished, someone knocked at the door and entered. It was the doctor.

"Boss, I have to do a check up on Nyx. I believe since you two didn't go easy last night, the wound may have opened up." stated the doctor with a blank face, but I could see the little smirk he had.

"Do it rapidly." grumbled master.

"Yes, Boss." answered the doctor and went beside me. "Now Nyx, if you'll excuse me, I have to ask you to take off your shirt."

I nodded and heard a growl of protest in the far corner of the room. I just chuckled and slowly took off my shirt. Sometimes I made a face 'cause of the pain. Man, the guy who shot me really wanted to kill me.

"Relax and breath in... Breath out... In... Out..." he said while listening to the stethoscope on my chest. "Okay, everything seems normal. I'll have to change the bandages and disinfect it, so it may hurt." warned the doctor.

I took a deep breath. "Go ahead."

The doctor started to take off the bandages and some of them were like sticking on my wound. It hurt so much when he had to slowly take it off. I was always clenching my teeth and my hands were choking the bed posts, but I made no sound. It would be a shame to my father after he trained me to "man up".

"Okay, I'll start disinfecting it." the doctor said while taking a brown bottle.

I took a deep breath in and choked on the air as he started to do it.

It hurt like shit!
