10k's girl ➳ Z-Nation

Chapter Twenty-Three

Y/n's Pov

I grabbed a bottle of water and put my pack of cigarettes up. I drank half of it and tossed the bottle to 10k. He caught it and finished off the water.

I turned and removed my hoodie and looked down at the blood stained shirt that I cleaned about a week ago. I noticed 10 walking into the bedroom.

I quickly pulled my shirt over my head and reached for his bag. Without even needing to ask, I grabbed one of his T-shirts and slipped it over my head. A cold hand on my back caused me to tense up.

I pulled the shirt down and looked at a stern 10. "I-". "Pull it back up." I turned, facing him. "It's ok. It's nothing-" "Y/n." His cold grey eyes bore into me. I stepped back, unintentionally bumping into the back of the couch.

He stepped forward, his hands on the couch, trapping me. I gulped, looking into his cold eyes. His lips were inches away from mine.

His eyes seemed to soften at the timid expression I wore. He could never understand the term dominate, or what he just did to me. "Please. I just want to see.."

With a sigh, I moved my hands to the bottom of the shirt. Slowly, I pulled it up. Before I could stop myself, my shirt was completely off.

A part of me wanted him to see. I looked into his eyes and was shocked to see him with tears in his eyes. That kid I knew was still in there.

"T-Tommy?" He swallowed hard, his hand brushing my stomach carefully.

"How did this happen?" "What?.." "The scars. They look old."

I averted my eyes. "It was a long time ago.." I could feel his gaze on me so I bit my lip. With one hand still on the couch, he cupped my cheek softly, his voice small.

"I told you to stop biting your lip." I had to hold myself back from kissing him. His hot breath ghosting over my lips.. it drove me crazy.

I bit harder, pushing myself further into the couch. A familiar metallic taste filled my mouth. 10's eyes narrowed slightly and he pulled back to see the blood drip down my lip.

He gulped. "Y/n.." I stared into his eyes, no longer ashamed of him seeing my body like this. His thumb brushed over my lip slowly, wiping off the blood.

"Tommy.." My cheeks began heating up as he looked back into my eyes. My stomach did a little flip when he sent me a soft smile.

A knock on the door caused him to move away. As I slipped the shirt over my head, I was grateful for whoever it was. 10 walked to the door.

He opened it and I heard Cassandra's voice. "Yeah, so can you do it?" "Of course." I jogged over to the door and smiled when she came into view.

"Hey Y/n!" I could see the smirk on her face. "Hey.. What's going on?"

She sent me an innocent smile. "I was just letting 10 know the plan for tomorrow. He can share it with you." 10k looked up at me when she said she that. She smirked again and told us goodnight, walking down the hallway waving.

I glanced at Tommy and he looked away instantly, a dust of pink coating his cheeks. "Well then.. It's time for bed." I turned to walk back but he grabbed my wrist, pulling me back to look at him.

"You-" "Hey you two, get a room.. Oh wait." I heard Doc's receding laugher and sighed, pulling away from 10's grip and walking back into the apartment.

I went into the bedroom and slipped my weapons out of their hidden spots. I slid my shoes off and climbed into bed. Tommy walked into the room and did something similar, but I was already under the covers and trying to sleep.

The bed was much more comfortable then the bed of the truck and the streets. I was able to completely relax myself and drift into a deep sleep.
