Broken Chains

Part 21

Chapter 21

I moaned and twisted around as I tried to get back to sleep but there was something stopping me.

"Jess," I heard Derek mumble my name as he shifted beneath me. I groaned and reached out gripping my phone I frowned at it for a few seconds before I was able to register that yes it was in fact ringing. I flipped it open,

"Hello." I said tentatively,

"Hello my name is Sarah I'm a customer representative from three we'd like to take a few minutes from your day to talk to you about the benefits of a contract we can offer you." I growled and snapped the phone shut and slammed it down on the bedside table. I rubbed a hand over my face trying to brush away the lingering remnants of sleep.

"Two pm." I groaned "that's a good few hours rest." Derek purred next to me and shuffled across clearly intending to cuddle back down again. I gave him a light soft kiss and pulled myself out of bed reluctantly and yawning I walked over to the door and snagged the piece of paper up only pausing to grab my last remaining bra from where it was drying on the radiator. I slipped it on my fingers fumbling as I struggled to do up the clasp made weak by the fact that I could feel Derek's eyes locked on me intensely. I sat on the edge of the bed and flipped open the note it was short and to the point.

Jess

I can't find any sign of your sister or any of her posse well not the ones that I know of anyway. Bryce has managed to get the room next to yours 231. I'm going to head in there and patch them up and so I'll be there when you need me. And you will need me Jess! Don't pretend that you don't and do not run away from me because I will call Darius Jessica don't doubt that. I will do anything I have to do to protect you ANYTHING. So don't even think of trying to go without us, we will know if you try and if you try it we will be PISSED! Try to get some rest, and don't worry Derek will be fine and I wont let anything happen to you. I promise

"Ahhh sweet." Derek said reaching over my shoulder to snatch the paper from my hand, "you two are getting close aren't you." the image of Carl pressing his lips to mine for just that instant before the knock on the door snapped into my head, and I shook my head.

"No it's just we've been through a lot."

"Hmm" Derek said non comitally in a way that made me suspect he knew a lot more about me and Carl than he should have. "You know I'm all rested now." He said I smiled how could I not my mate was in front of me wearing just a pair of boxers and that still had the power to make me super horny even if he did still look more than a little battered.

"How do these feel?" I asked brushing my fingers lightly along the sewed up cuts that still looked far too red and swollen for my liking.

"There fine." He said his hands sliding around my waist and pulling me in close to him.

"What about" I began trying to indicate his arm which was wrapped around me.

"It'll be fine." He said he said holding me pressed in tightly into him.

"You've only had a few hours sleep." I said "you're not okay."

"Look I'm sitting up and everything." He muttered nuzzling into my neck.

"No your still hurt." I mumbled,

"you can go on top."he growled and lifted me up wincing at the effort as he settled me down on his hips. I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair wincing as they came back coated with a thin coating of Derek's blood, which had crusted in large clumps of his hair. I leaned down and kissed him he nibbled playfully on my bottom lip he slid his hands down my sides and gripped the top of my jeans which he began to pull down clumsily his broken fingers still far from healing and hence far from being as nimble as usual.
