The Dragon King and His Mate

Rose's P.O.V.

I had just slipped into my fuzzy blue pajama bottoms and my white tank top when I heard a knock on the front door. I grabbed my white robe, put it on and then walked out my bedroom. 

I placed my hand on the banister and made my way down the stairs. I got to the last step when the knocking turned into pounding on the door. I got to the front door and opened it. A man was covered in blood on his chest and he was wearing nothing but a bloody pair of blue jeans collapsed on the ground. 

I bent down and felt his neck. His breathing was in shallow breaths. I heard him moan in pain slightly. 

"Can you hear me?" I ask.

I see his head move up and down a little. 

"I'm going to move you into a guest bedroom and I need your help." I tell him.

He started to get up but then his hands slipped and he fell back down smacking his face on the ground. I got a grip on his arm and helped him up. He put his arm around my shoulders, he leaned his body against mine as I began helping towards the bedroom in the back.

I opened the door and pushed it open. I helped him walk over to the bed. I turned us around and we sat back on the bed. I stood up and helped him lay down. I untied his shoes and began to take them off when I noticed that I had blood on my robe.

"I'm sorry." I hear him say.

I got his shoes off and dropped them on the floor.

"Why are you apologizing?" I ask.

"For the blood. Don't worry though when I get better, I'll pay for the damages." He replies.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to go get a first aid kit." I say.

I left the bedroom and went towards the bathroom. I grabbed the first aid kit from underneath the sink and then I grabbed a wash cloth. I got it soaked in water and then I went back into the bedroom.

I helped him up into a sitting position and I began washing his back. He flinched underneath my hands but he didn't do anything else and he allowed me to continue. 

"What's your name?" He asks.

"Rose. Yours?" I question.

He groans when I moved the cloth to his chest.

"Matt." He says.

After I got the dried blood cleaned up off his chest, I opened up the first aid kit and grabbed the ointment. I popped the cap open and began to spread it on his chest. He flinched as I finished with the cream and then I put the gauze around his chest. When I finished, I helped him lay back down.

"Would you like anything to eat or drink?" I ask yawning.

Matt shakes his head. "No thank you. I would just like to get some sleep." He says.

I grabbed the first aid kit and then I walked out the bedroom door. I grabbed the door handle and began to close the door.

"Thank you Rose." He says.

"You're welcome." I say closing the door.
