Chapter 55 Alexander's pov


"Mmmm " a moan escaped my mouth.
I felt the warmth of a hand on my morning wood, stroking me slowly. I definitely wasn't dreaming cause it felt to real to be a dream. 
I snapped my eyes open and met Ethan's gaze already on me, with a smug smile.
"Morning pretty boy" he whispered while his hand kept moving, slow and deliberate.
"Mmmmm, morning soldier." Ethan would be the death of me. 

I buked my hips up trying to make him move his hand faster but I felt a sharp pain in my ribs which made me quickly rethink my action.
"Relax and Enjoy, I didn't ask you to move" his voice was a little rough.
His hand moving steadily on my cock and squeezed the tip.
My hands gripped the sheets of the bed tight and bit on my lips , as I try to surpress the loud moans trying to to escape my mouth. "Mmmm..."
Ethan snake his free hand under my head and pulled me slightly missinge and swallowing my moans. My body went rigid as I went over the edge. Spurts of cum filled the hospital pants I wore. Ethan kissed me through it, till I was down from the high. 
" Jesus!" I said breathless "what if someone had walked in on us ?"
"They would enjoy the show." He said nonchalantly and kissed me one more time before heading to the restroom to wash his hands. Thank goodness Aiden brought me a change of clothes while Ethan was away with Noah. 
He stepped out of the bathroom with a wet towel "I have a change of cloth in that bag" I pointed to the bang on the sit in the far end of the room. 
"Ok" he strolled towards it picked the bag and walked back to me. 
He helped me out of the hospital pants leaving the shirt on , cleaned me up and helped me into a grey joggers. When he was done I sat back on the bed. I couldn't move freely because of the cannula in my hand , thank goodness the other machines I was strapped to were no more.
"What were you up to while I was gone."
" I attended to a few work related issues."
" You’re supposed to be resting,” he said quietly.
I snorted. “Says the man who hasn’t slept in two days.”
“That’s different.”
“Of course it is Mr pierce.”

Ethan moved closer to me still standing, he pressed his forehead to mine like he was afraid I might disappear. The whole accident thing must have shook him.
“You okay?” he asked.
I nodded. “You?”
“Always.”
That was a lie, and we both knew it.
A knock sounded at the door before I could call him on it.
“Perfect timing,” I muttered.
Ethan straightened instantly, all softness gone, posture shifting into the serious man that he is. The door opened, and a doctor stepped in, clipboard tucked under her arm.
“How are we feeling today Mr Blackwood?” she asked, professional but kind.
“tired but better than before.” I said.
She smiled. “thats normal for now. Your chart looks good all your result for yesterday test came back clean. But you still have to be careful cause your ribs are still healing.” 
"Ok" I replied.
She ran through the usual checks,asked about dizziness, pain levels, nausea. Ethan hovered like a shadow, answering when I didn’t feel like it, correcting her gently when she assumed something incorrectly.
Finally, she nodded. “Good news. You’re cleared for discharge today. You'll just need to fill in some paperworks first, Take it easy, avoid stress...”
Ethan laughed under his breath.
She raised an eyebrow. “I said avoid stress.”
“I heard you,” he replied. “I just don’t believe you.”
"A nurse will come take that out," she pointed at the cannula "when this last IV finishes." It was the last thing she said before leaving. 
"I'll go get you something to drink." Ethan said and left right after the doctor. 
"Alright."
I lay on the bed and waited for him. He came back with a drink and a box of sandwiches. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and reached out for him to hand me what he got . Ethan handed them to me without comment.
“So,” I said casually, sipping from the canned drink he gave me “what happened yesterday after you left?”
He hesitated for a second.
“You don’t have to...”
“I do,” he cut in. “I got him. He is where I need him to be."
Something in his tone told me not to push further. I filed it away, unease curling in my gut. I kept quite and finished my food as Ethan told me about his trip to get my uncle.

The discharge process took longer than necessary, but eventually we were free. As we walked through the hospital doors, the air outside felt stronger, colder and real.
“I’m driving,” Ethan said.
“I can drive.”
“No.”
I sighed. “You’re impossible.”
“Get in.”

Halfway home, I broke the silence.
“Take me to the cabin.”
His grip tightened on the steering wheel. “No.”
“Ethan.”
“I said No.”
“I want to see him.”
“You don’t.”
“I do.”
He glanced at me. “You won’t like it.”
“That’s not your decision.”
We stared each other down until he exhaled sharply. “Fine. But we won't stay long.” 
I know he accepted to take me there because he doesn't want me to get mad.

When we got home, my phone rang before I could even kick off my shoes.
It was Aiden.
“Please tell me you’re sitting down,” he said the moment I answered.
“I just got home.”
“Even better. Check the news.”
I pulled it up, scrolling absently, then froze.
JOSEPH BLACKWOOD REPORTED MISSING. FAMILY REFUSES COMMENT.
“What the hell?” I whispered.
“That’s not all,” Aiden said grimly. “Scroll.”
My stomach dropped.
BEN CAVER FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME. LIMBS REMOVED. INVESTIGATION ONGOING.
I looked up slowly. Ethan was watching me.
“What did you do?” I asked.
His jaw tightened. "What do you mean.”
“What did you do?” I shoved the phone to his face gently.
"Shit!"
"I get my uncle's part, but Ben..."
" I Don't know who did that to him."
"But you hated him and he tried to kill me too." I didn't want to believe he did that to Ben.
"Yes, I hated him , I still do, but I didn't do it . Although I wish it was me who sent the fucker to the other side." His voice was calm.
"I am going to believe you, but please don't let me find out it was you." 
He pulled me into a tight hug, and kissed my temple. "Thank you for trusting me."

The notification sound of my phone went off again. Aiden's name came up again. But this time he sent a link. I strolled to the couch holding hands with Ethan , sitting down I clicked on the link Aiden sent me and my phone Almost dropped from my hand.
