Thirty Seven

Reign POV

Scorching Heat.

This is not how I expected to wake up. I wanted to wake up swaddled in his warm chest, while his hand caressed my love making hair. I was suppose to feel as if the world stopped on its axis, as I cuddled into his warm and comforting arms. A warmness was suppose to invade my body, my muscles were suppose to loosen as we stared into each other eyes and whispered Good Morning with knowing smiles on our faces.

Instead, I could feel beads of sweat licking my skin. Pain was ripping through my abdomen, burning my flesh like a third degree burn. A soft pain filled moan slipped out of my mouth as I curled into a fetal position. The feeling of knives being randomly pushed against my fragile skin, followed by unexpected rumbles in the pit of my stomach.

Deep Breaths. In and Out. In and Out.

"Reign? Reign, what's going on?" I heard Axel voice through the pits of hell.

What's the matter? He looked downright sexy squatting on the side of the bed with one hand repeatedly rubbing the side of my head. Newfound air brushed across my face as he pushed my hair back allowing me to get a clearer image of him. His blond hair was favoring one side as he tried to lock eyes with my slowly blurring eyes.

I tried to focus on the next words that came out of his mouth but another wave of pain had me slamming my eyes shut. I'm sure a puddle of sweat was dampening Axel sheets, How embarrassing, I couldn't have a relaxing after sex day with the man I love.

Warm arms took the covers off of my naked body. Folding me into its extra layer of overwhelming heat. The heat was both uncomfortable and confronting, my head laid lazily on Axel's shoulder as he carried me to a destination unknown. My fist knitted itself in his shirt as another wave of pain crashed and landed in my midsection.

"I'm sorry." Axel softly spoke only gaining a small moan from me.

My eyes which were squeezed shut do to the immense amount if pain shot open faster than the speed of light. Ice cold water was seeping into my very soul and sucking the heat out of my pain ridden body. I now understand why cold water is considered a thief of heat. My skin becomes plague with goosebumps, the freezing water swishes back and forth. My breathing is layered as I try to control my shock ridden body.

After the shock wears off my body slowly becomes use to the heat. My vision becomes clearer and because of the numbness in my body I can no longer feel the gut grasping pain. I release a sigh of relief before relaxing my head up against the wall.

"Better?" Axel replies with a look of worry and hurt.

"Much." I reply with a thankful smile. His hand laid on the edge of the tub so I reached out for it and enclosed our fingers.

For a brief moment he allowed our fingers to stay together. He slowly pulls his hand out of mind and quickly stands up leaving me confused.

"What's the matter?" I questioned with a frown.

"Nothing," He said with a blank expression as he pushed back his unruly locks. "Manny shouldn't be long with your medicine I'll go get you some clothes."

"I don't have any clothes here." I softly whispered.

He green eyes finally connected with mine. If they weren't as shiny as wet grass I would've thought they were blue do to the icy look he was giving me. "I'll find you something to wear."

After his cold display he left me sitting in body numbing water with a string of confusing questions. What the hell is his problem? Did I do something wrong? I'm so confused, Why are men confusing?
