Fight Left In Me ✔

Chapter 18 - Lust

Jo wakes up with a bit of a headache and opens her eyes just a tiny bit, wondering what she is laying on. She opens her eyes wider and sees she is on top of Dart, with her face on his chest. She smiles, because she feels his arms around her and he snores slightly.

She kisses his chest softly and his arms hug her tighter as he mumbles. She laughs softly and licks his chest slowly, making him move a little, still holding her tight.

She tries to sit up, but this sleeping man is not having it. Jo gives up and snuggles back into him, she draws circles on his chest and quickly falls asleep again.

Jo wakes up the second time, because Dart is stroking her back and she whispers: "Good morning handsome." 

Dart wraps his arms around her warmly and says: "Good morning beautiful fighter." 

Jo sits up on top of him and stretches her arms out. She smiles at him and says: "Did you sleep well, holding on to me all night?" 

He smiles back at her and replies: "Oh yes, it was wonderful, I dreamed of you, while holding you. Best sleep possible."

Jo twists and turns to look at her body and sees that most of the bruises are clearing up or gone. She unwraps the bandage on her hand and sees the knuckles are healing up nicely too. She stretches her fingers and although they are a bit stiff, they don't hurt anymore.

She is relieved and is about to climb out of bed, when Dart grabs a hold of her and pulls her close again. "Hmm, not yet. Stay with me a bit longer." 

Jo kisses his neck and plays with his hair, but then her phone beeps and she wiggles out of Dart's arms to see who it is. Dart grumbles, but loosens his grip.

It's a message from Jake, saying he is proud of her for uploading the video. Video? She checks her Facebook and finds a video on her page, that Dart tagged her in. It's a clip of her singing 'Fighter'. 

Dart sits up when he hears what she's watching and puts his hand on the small of her back. He begins to feel a bit nervous, but as soon as Jo looks at him, he knows there is no need to be.

Jo smiles and says: "Wow. So many replies and new friends. Heh. I was really into it, huh?" 

Dart smiles at her and says: "I had to upload it, you looked like a star. And so strong. I'm very proud of you."

She kisses him slowly and then her stomach growls, making her laugh. Dart leans down and kisses her stomach, promising it food very soon. He tells her to hang on to him and scoots over to the edge of the bed, getting up while he holds her close to him. 

He walks into the kitchen and sets her down on the counter and opens the fridge. "Hmm okay, eggs, bacon and toast. How does that sound?" 

Jo's stomach answers before her mouth can and she giggles. "It sounds great. And coffee would be nice too." 

They prepare their breakfast together and sit down at the breakfast bar, eating and talking about last night. Sipping her coffee, Jo looks Dart over and her eyes suddenly open up wider. She touches a mark on his shoulder and then finds one on his neck, chest and stomach. She stares at the red spots and bite marks with her mouth open. Dart starts to chuckle and pretends not to notice how shocked she is. 

In a soft voice she asks: "Dart? Did I do that last night?" 

He turns to her and tries to pout while he nods, but it's way too hard not to smile about it. Jo blushes a deep red and stares at the floor. Dart tilts her chin up and kisses her softly.
