Chapter 24.
~~~~~~~~~~Rose's POV
Rolling onto my side I discovered a much larger heat source than what I remembered falling asleep with. Having the source pull me closer I sighed as I wrapped my arm around his torso, his lips pressing against the top of my head.
'Good morning'.
I opened my eyes and looked up, Doffy's blurry face coming into view. 'Good morning'.
'Did you sleep alright?'
I nodded, tracing the out line of his pectorals blindly. 'Thank you'.
His blur titled his head to the side as he stared down at me. 'I was hoping you would've thought it was a dream'.
I shook my head. 'I don't think you'll be able to get rid of the pain I feel everywhere by morning Doffy. You can clean up, hid the evidence, tell me it was a bad dream, hell even kill the guy and throw his body overboard. But that feeling of being powerless underneath someone will never leave you'.
He placed his hands on the side of my face and tilted my head back as his lips pressed against my own. 'How'd you know I killed him?'
'It's not much of shock if your boyfriend is a cold blooded pirate that kills people'.
He laughed, the vibration of his chest sending warmth into my heart. 'You never cease to amaze me. Anyone who has gone through such an ordeal would've been terrified of someone touching them, let alone the opposite sex. I was up watching you sleep, dreading the idea of you opening your eyes and running away from me'.
'I've ran away from you before and it didn't really work, so it's pointless doing it again' I shrugged, untangling myself from him to sit up. 'Glasses?'
The bed shifted next to me. 'They're still in the bathroom. Let me'.
I waited at the edge of the bed, scoping out my body for what else felt sore and what wasn't. I shifted, my stomach and back definitely had some dull pain, but that was gone after some pain meds. Running my hands down my legs a bandaid came in touch with my hand when it went over my right knee, the sides were completely down so it was a fresh one. Running my hands further up the fabric of Doffy's shirt ended just above my knee and since the pain there had always been there, I wasn't worried.
'If you plan on touching yourself at least tell me so I can watch'.
I rolled my eyes. 'Very funny'. I stuck out my hand and the cold frame of my glasses was placed down. Giving them a good wipe I slipped them on my face and turned towards a frowning Doffy. 'What's wrong?'
He said nothing as he lifted me up into his arms and I wrapped mine around his neck. He walked us to my vanity and sat me down by mirror.
It was bad.
The bruise that I had gotten from that Marine had returned only a darker blue and a twin decorated my opposite cheek. My lip had been split near the bottom left corner and my wrists had bruises lined from the back to the front. Running my hands through my hair I noted half of it had been broken off near my shoulders in an ugly pattern of damaged ends.
Doffy averted his gaze when I looked back at him. 'I'm sorry I didn't get to you sooner. I shouldn't have left the room'.
I shook my head before wrapping my arms around his torso. 'You came and I was so happy when you did'.
Bending down towards me he pressed his lips to my own, the kiss short and sweet and lasted just long enough to make me feel better. 'Are you going to cut it?'
