Chapter 15- Rosey kisses

Holy mother of God, everything hurts. Stupid Mike. I thought prying open my eyes to the bright light. "She's awake." A voice called. Amy. I squinted to see Asherd walking over to me, Amy leaning against the wall, lips pursed. "Next time something like this happens tell me." Asherd snapped looking sharply at Amy. Amy nodded. "Of course, please forgive me Sir Asherd." Asherd merely muttered something to her I didn't hear and she left the room.
"Blunt force trauma, bleeding internally. You're lucky I was there and the doctor for base camp was here and not somewhere else." He muttered walking to the door and leaning against it. "Why do you insist on being reckless?" He asked and I had no reply. "I want to become stronger." I whispered hoarsely. He scoffed hand on doorknob. "It's not a sign of weakness to tell someone you're hurt. It's actually the opposite and then he was gone, door shut behind him.

2 weeks later

It was two weeks later whenever my body felt tons better. I hadn't seen Ashered since he had visited me two weeks ago. I pulled on a long sleeve, dark green sweater and Jeans when I heard commotion downstairs. I pulled on my boots carefully curious as to what it was. I pulled my hair into a braid and left the dreaded room I had been practically jailed in. I raised an eyebrow as I saw Amy hugging a guy maybe two or three years older than me. He had dark jet black hair. It was a bit long but when I saw his eyes meet mine I was flabbergasted. They were the most beautiful forrest green eyes I had ever seen. Amy met me two stairs from the bottom and drug me over to him. "Here, meet Hope." I shook his hand and nodded. "Uh, hi." I smiled. Amy pulled on the guy. "This is Hunter, he is my older brother." I nodded again before a familiar arm was wrapped around my waist." And I'm Asherd. Her special." I looked up to him. He looked different, tired. Hunter nodded. "Nice to meet you both." Amy smiled to Ashered and I. "I'm going to help Hunter settle." I smiled at her before pulling away from Ashered and walking up the stairs. I heard him behind me and once I reached the edge of the hallway where a bit window sat I turned around. "Now you can talk to me after not even speaking to me for two weeks?" I asked crossing my arms. "I was angry, Hope." I scoffed. "Great excuse."  Ashered frowned at me. "I wanted to be there for you but I couldn't." I rolled my eyes. "I was hurting. I wanted you." I whispered the last part glaring at him. Ashered threw up his hands. "I'm sorry, okay. I had to bury a friend a couple days later and I wanted some time to process it. I was mad because I can't protect you and when I try you get upset." He snapped. I was frozen. I slowly pulled my arms away from my waist. "I-i didn't know." I cursed myself as my eyes turned watery. "No it's fine." He said opening the door to our shared room. I walked in after him shutting the door. Asherd pulled off his T-shirt and chucked it across the room. His glorious black wings visible. I walked over to him as he sat on the edge of the bed head in his hands. I walked over to him pulling apart him hands and he looked up at me. "What do you need?" I asked my heart clenching at seeing him in pain. He grabbed my arms and pulled me forward. Placing his head on my stomach. "I'm sorry for failing you." He said quietly. I shook my head and  squatted before him. "No you didn't do anything. It was me."  I brushed back his dark hair and he pulled me closer to him as I sat on my knees. "I'm here for you." I whispered as his mouth inched toward mine and pressed against mine. Swiftly he picked me up and I was beneath him. He pressed his tounge against mine and sucked on my lower lip. I gasped as his chest pressed against mine, his kisses more hungry. My hands ran through his hair and he trailed his hands up my sweater. I moaned as he massaged my chest. I took my legs wrapping them around him pushing myself up to deepen the kiss. He massaged harder and soon enough the sweater was off. He placed kisses along my chest, my stomach and trailed back up my neck to my lips. 
It was closer to get more intimate when the door burst open to Killian. Asherd stood up his  wings unfolding and shielding me  as I covered my bra with my shirt. "I- sorry sir. I-uh Nova escaped. "Damn it." Ashered hissed. "She has intel on how to do the codes and undo the border. "Tell everyone to pack a bag. We are going to leave for a few days until we fix the border and make sure we are safe. I assume Killian nodded because I couldn't see him and the door shut. Asherd turned to me and folded his wings away. "We need to go. Pack a light bag and be ready in ten." I nodded standing up to go around him but he grasped my wrist gently and placed a soft kiss to my lips. "I'll see you downstairs. I nodded as he took his shirt throwing it on as he left the room. I stood there holding my shirt to my chest, blushing and scared. A funny mix of emotions.
