Chapter 28 Together again
~~Damien's Pov~~
I gently placed her on the bed in my cabin. It was one of the biggest rooms on the ship.
Charlotte was still sleeping.
I exhaled sharply as I knelt beside her. I raked my hands through my hair as I gazed at her pale skin, her lips were shaped like a heart and red. I reached for her brown hair and pushed it gently away from her face.
I have seen her so many times before, but God her beauty still amazed me.
I reached for the hem of her shirt and gently lifted it up. I gazed at the bandage around her stomach. “Get well soon, Vita Mia,” I begged.
It wasn't a deep wound, but it still hurt to see her like that.
I still smelled of sweat and seawater, I placed a soft kiss on Charlotte's head and turned to head to the bathroom.
“Damien?” I heard her voice, I turned around and saw her looking at me with those beautiful brown eyes.
“Shit Charlotte, I didn't mean to wake you up,” I pressed my hand against my chest to show my sincerity.
She smiled, “I know you didn't.”
She pressed her lips together, she was still in pain and I hated it. I moved to kneel beside her once more, “Charlotte, if I could take your pain away and put it on myself, I swear I would.”
She burst into a loud laughter, but years gathered in her eyes and soon her face twisted into a frown as she cried.
I quickly knelt beside her again. “What is it?” My heart raced, “Do you need me to call a doctor? One of my soldiers is experienced….”
Her hands brushed against my face, her eyes had turned red. “I thought I would never see you again,” she sniffed, and tears ran down the sides of her face, “When I got stabbed, it hurt, but my heart hurt even more. I didn't want to go in that cabin with Alexander, I wanted to be with you.”
My heart ripped into pieces. I had promised to never leave her side, but I broke it. “I'm sorry,” my throat tightened as I spoke, “I promised to never leave your side, I'll never break my promise again.”
I wiped the tears from her cheeks.
She smiled, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “Lord, you stink of sweat,” she chuckled.
I laughed, “I'll shower.”
Her grip tightened on my hand, she seemed to hesitate about something.
“Do you have something to say, my love?”
She shook her head, “I'm just happy to be with you again.”
I nodded, she was still wearing Alexander's shirt, and it angered me. I gently pulled away from her, “I'll take a bath now.”
I moved to a cupboard across the room and opened it. It was just as I left it, it was filled with my clothes , most of them suits. A smile curled on my lips as I envisioned Charlotte in one of my tabletops and a suit jacket.
I began to slide off my clothes. I backed her, but I could still feel her eyes burning into my skin as I took off my clothes. I gathered all the clothes in my hand and tossed them into a basket by the side.
“You can come shower with me if you want,” my voice was hoarse.
“I cannot wet my wound, Damein,” she responded.
I scoffed and walked into the bathroom, I reached for the shower head and left the water slide down my back, my head turned to the floor and my hand reached for the wall beside me as I pressed my fist against it.
She was hurt. I keep thinking about it, and it hurts me each second.
My brow raised, I felt a hand on my back, I spun around, Charlotte was standing beside me, naked. My lips parted, “My love.” I pressed my hands against her shoulders and gently pushed her away from the water, “Don't let it drop on your wound.”
She grabbed both of my arms. “I'm sure my wound will be okay,” she moved her hand to my chest and my heart raced, “And I miss my husband.”
I grabbed the hand she had against my chest and raised it to my lips and I kissed it, “I really want to be with you,” my gaze swept across her gorgeous body, “But I cannot let you get in here.”
Her brows pinched together, “But how will I shower? This will take days to heal.
I pressed my hands against her hips and pressed her against me, her breasts pressed against my chest and, God, it blew my mind. “From experience, you have to shower with wash cloth, don't get in the water, just clean.”
Her brow raised, “You have been stabbed before?”
“Nah, shot, I have been bandaged a lot.”
She exhaled sharply and wrapped her hands around me in a hug, her head against my chest. I grabbed a cloth from a little shelf beside it, one I had used in the past. It was still neatly folded.
I stretched it and let the shower water touch it and I began to run it against the skin of her back.
She whimpered, “Thank you.”
I placed a soft kiss on her head, “It's my duty to care for you, Vita Mia, you do not have to thank me.”
She looked up to meet my gaze. “No, I mean thank you for walking into my life”
I stopped scrubbing, my heart raced faster. “Gosh,” I whispered. I immediately began to scrub again, eager to hide how red my cheeks had gotten.
Her hands gripped tighter around me as her lips pressed against my chest. I squeezed the wash cloth, struggling to control the heat within me, but she didn't stop.
She kissed again, and again and again until I felt her tongue on my chest.
“Fuck Charlotte”
A sinister smile curled on her lips as she looked up at me again, this time her fingers traced down my chest.
I held my breath as she grabbed my cock, it felt it harden instantly.
“Charlotte,” I let out a rugged breath, “Please…stop,” my chest heaved.
“Why?”
I ran my hands up her back. “You are going to make me lose control, and I do not want to hurt you…please.” I swallowed, “Stop.”
She stood up on her toes to reach my neck and pressed her lips against it.
“Argh….” I gaped with pleasure, “Charlotte…..please” My chest heaved and loud rugged breathes escaped my lips.
Her lips moved to my ears , “I love it when you moan,” she whispered.
Her warm hands wrapped around my cock again, she bit her lower lip and began to stroke it.
My breath shook.
She slipped her hands into mine and let me out of the bathroom.
“We cannot sleep together, Charlotte, you are hurt,” I spoke as she made me sit on the bed.
“I know,” she knelt before me. “I still want to hear you moan.”
She pinned her hands against my thighs, and she slid my cock into her mouth, my lips parted as I felt the warmth of her mouth on me.
My head flung back ,“ugh…ummm,” I moaned as she began to suck me.
My fingers dug into the sheets "Oh….fuck! Arghh…. "I groaned, my lips pushed out to form a pout and my face twisted into a frown.
Her head moved up and down , gobbling on it.
“Oh....God baby, yes,” i choked out. My hands reached for her hair and I pulled it up, away from her face , I wrapped it up in my hand.
“Ugh….fuck….fuck….yes…. God…..argh,” my voice rasped, I was about to cum.
“God! Baby don't stop! Please …please,” I threw my head back, “please….” I gasped.
I pressed my teeth against each other, “Argh,” I purred as my cum shot out of my cock and into my mouth.
I swallowed as I watched her head lift to meet my eyes, some of my cum was smeared on her cheeks and her mouth was pressed against each other, there was still some in her mouth.
She turned her head to spit it out. I quickly reached for her chin, “Don't, swallow it, please.”
She smiled and obeyed.
I gently lifted her up and made her straddle me, she wrapped her hands around my neck and I pinned my hands on her waist. I could still feel my cock throbbing.
I leaned in and placed my lips on her chest, again, and again.
“Hmmm,” she moaned softly.
The sound of her voice made Cum stroll down my cock, I was hard again.
“Gosh, I wan
t you so bad,” I growled against her chest.
“Then take me,” she whispered.
I looked up at her, “Is that a dare? Because I swear I'll do it.”
