Chapter 77
Bo
Everything fucking hurt. It was like a truck ran into me and backed up several times, and maybe jumped on me a couple of times. I had to wonder if whatever the demon had torn out of me would regrow.
"Bo," Amanda returned to me after her little shouting magic with the she-demon hanging out in the sky. She cradled my head in her lap and bent over me crying. Her tears fell like raindrops.
"Hey," I greeted. I turned my face against her lap and cuddled against her. The sweet citrus scent of my mate enveloped me. I wished I could feel her emotions and my wolf whimpered at being parted from her.
"Don't speak," she whispered. "I don't know what to do for you, Bo. You must be hurting so much and this is all my fault. If I'd never ran away..."
I rolled my eyes at her. "That guy was after you regardless. He would have came in here eventually and killed more to get to you I bet. You can't blame everything on yourself."
"But it was stupid," she argued back.
"You're home now, that's all that matters." I peeked up at her. "Hey, why don't we go get some private time? We've been apart for so long, and we might not be mates right now, but I smell those two on you."
Her cheeks turned red and she glanced away from me. "Bo, you need to focus on healing."
I wiggled my eyebrows at her. "I can heal a lot faster with the right incentive. Besides, you can do all the work if you're that worried."
She glanced down at me. "Are you serious right now?"
I nodded. "Come on, everyone is busy. Just say you want to take care of me in the medical wing. That's all it'll take. Then you can take your time healing me with your love."
I bit back a groan and this time it wasn't one of pain. I did want this woman. I didn't care if I was missing my limbs or had a hole completely through my body. With the last of my strength I'd always want to be with her.
"You're unbelievable, Bo," she scolded me.
I smirked. That didn't sound like a no to me.
"Raul, could you help me?" she asked.
I frowned. Raul? One of the hell hounds trotted over to us. I scowled. I didn't like the sight of these guys. They were powerful enough to run off the demons, but there was just something I didn't trust.
Raul bowed his head and eyed me. "What is it, Luna?"
"You're going to be part of our pack now, call me Amanda," she insisted.
He chuckled and I wished that I had a bone to stick down his throat. Stupid mutt.
"Amanda," he said with a smirk. "What can I do for you?"
"Help me get Bo into the medical wing. He's really hurt. Unless any of you can do healing magic?"
"Sorry, the Prime has ordered us to have a little sit down with him. I'll help you get him to the medical wing, then I need to check in so to see what he wants."
Did I really have to compete with these three creatures that shouldn't even exist? The unfairness never ended around here. I didn't know anything about them, but I didn't like them being around my mates.
Raul shifted and my scowl deepened as Amanda turned away. He chuckled and picked me up like a damned princess. "Don't worry, I've got this."
Why hadn't Zale came to move me anyway? Though if he had, chances are I wouldn't get the happy ending I was wanting in the first place. He would have likely went for a round two or three or twenty. The lust continued to surge through him but he was focused on something else.
Something buzzed in the back of my mind. Something I should be thinking about instead of my rock-hard dick. Ha, who was I kidding? Nothing mattered but my hard on right now. I could focus on whatever else it was later.
Amanda following behind us and her helper ignored me completely apart from gently carrying me. I would have expected him to try to press onto my injuries and cause me to suffer but he didn't.
It made me trust him even less.
We got to the medical area and Amanda prepared a bed for me, giving orders on where to set me down and to be careful with me. It would have felt better if she wasn't trying so hard to not look at what Raul had between his legs. I'd have to talk to Zale about getting these guys a house far away from the rest of us.
"Thank you, Raul," Amanda gave him one of her warm smiles. It made my stomach curdle.
"I'll be back after I check with the Prime." His eyes slid to mine for the first time as if measuring me. "Don't have too much fun, he's pretty injured." he left before Amanda could answer, locking the door behind him.
"You were going to help me feel better, right?" I questioned her. I wanted her focus on me again.
She shook herself out of her thoughts and smiled at me. "You look better already, Bo. Your color is coming back."
"Amanda," I whispered her name and she tensed.
"Yes?"
"I haven't been with you in so long. I need you."
She bent over and brushed her lips against my forehead. "You're too injured. You need to rest, Bo."
Reaching out, I touched her lips. "Then handle me with those. I have to feel you. It's bad enough that our bond was stripped away."
She sighed and shook her head. I thought that was the end of it. But instead, Amanda brushed her lips against mine. "You can't blame me if it hurts," she scolded. "I don't know if I can hold back, Bo. I've missed you." she kissed her way down my body with soft feathery kisses.
I moaned, my eyes sliding closed. Sure, there was pain involved but like Javier said, that only added some spice to the experience.
She paused above me. "Are you okay?"
I nodded and thrust my hips up, desperate for her touch. "Fine, don't stop."
She continued to kiss down until her tongue swirled up and down my shaft.
If this was going to be the last thing I did in life, it would totally be worth it.
