Chapter 31

Dean

“I Knew I was going to pass out. My vision started getting dark the last thing I saw was Rea raising the knife and the last thing I heard was Mallory calling out for me”.

I kept looking at her and her eyes were on me and Aleck. I know she could see the death grip we both had on the table. Chris and Andrew were looking at us also.

“Just hand her over to the police. Dean, Aleck don’t do anything crazy”. She said looking at us.

“We will but not before we deal with her”. Nella said looking at me.

“Guys.”

“Ms The doctor is here’. Marcella said standing by the door.

“Thank you, Marcella, Aleck can you take her inside I’ll be there in a few”. He didn’t say anything he got up and picked her up. Before he walked into the house with her, I heard her.
“Chris, Andrew if they get into trouble, I’m beating the two of you”.

“Yea we’re on it”. Chris said smiling. After they left, I looked at the others.
"Get Rea to come over”.

Layla

Aleck and Marcella stood beside me as the doctor checked me over. After he did a series of checks he looked at Marcella. “I honestly don’t know why you refuse my offer of taking a job at the hospital. All your patients recover fast. Just take the job Ms James”.

“Ivan I’m happy with my job, the hospital is restricted to rules. when I work like this, I can do more to help my patients”.

He sighed and shook his head. “Ms Tavers you’re recovering very well. Your casts have been removed; the incision sites are fully healed. When I return to the hospital, I’ll have your blood work done. Overall, everything seems perfect all that’s left now is you to regain mobility and with Ms James that will be soon. You can start eating solid foods again. Ms James knows what to do so listen to her”.

“Okay I will”.

“I’m done here. I’ll contact you once I have the result from her blood work Mr Cavanaugh”.

“Thank you”.

“Come on Ivan, I’ll Walk you out”. Marcella said leading him out of the room. Aleck stood in front of me, he was about to leave when I grabbed his shirt. “Baby girl this is dangerous, being here with me alone”.

“Whose house is this”? I asked, He kneeled in front of me and looked at me.

“Yours, mine, Dean’s. we bought it the day before we brought you home from the hospital three months ago and locked you away from everyone baby girl”.

‘I love you Aleck”.

“I love you too Layla”.

I pulled him in closer to me. “Baby girl you’re not better”.

“One kiss” I said in a whisper. I guess that was all he needed to hear, he leaned into me kissing me gently as if he was afraid, I would break. When I slipped my tongue into his mouth he gave up. He deepened the kiss one of his hands in my hair and the other around my throat. I couldn’t help but moan into his mouth. He pulled away and looked at me.

“You need to fully recover princess. Nothing more. Come on let’s head back outside, you need to eat”.

“Okay” He took me back out to the patio, we sat with the others. Marcella had Hilda make soup for me. During lunch I could see the two brothers sneaking looks at each other then at me. “If you two don’t stop that right now”. They looked at me instantly.

“What did we do”? Dean said looking at me with what he thought was an innocent look.

“Don’t. I saw the two of you talking” Aleck smirked at me

“But I didn’t hear them say anything”, Nella said looking at us.

“They speak without words; they use their eyes. they’ve always done that”. I said looking at them.

“Fine”. Dean said looking away. After lunch I felt a bit tired, so I asked them to take me back to the room. I guess I was tired because I don’t remember falling asleep. When I woke up Marcella was sitting beside me. When I looked out the windows it was dark.

“What time is it”?

“Ah you’re awake. It’s just after seven”. She answered sitting up.

“Okay”. I swung my foot off the bed and sat up.

“You”. She said and stopped.

“Yes. I need to use the washroom” I said getting off the bed, she was still staring at me. why as she staring at me. I looked down and that’s when I realised, I was standing up. I looked at her. “I…I. I can stand”. I said in a whisper.

“Okay now try and walk. Take your time your muscles have become weak from you being immobile for months”.

“Okay”, I took the first step, but my knees became weak luckily, she caught me in time. She helped me back onto the bed.

“It’s okay the main thing is you can stand on your own. I guess we know what exercises we’re doing tomorrow” she said smiling. She helped me to the washroom, and I took a shower that honestly felt like heaven. She stood outside the door waiting on me because I asked her to. I was scared I would fall over again.

I had just finished dressing when dean walked into the room. “Marcella you can retire for the night. We’ll take care of her”.

“Of course, Mr Cavanaugh. Goodnight Layla”. After she left, he stood looking at me. I stood up and looked at him. He just smiled. “Come on princess, Lets go have dinner. Mom and dad are waiting for you”. He said picking me up off the floor. “I love you Dean”. He stopped walking and looked down at me. “I love you too princess”.

I didn’t ask him. I crushed my lips to his and he accepted me. I couldn’t help but moan into his mouth. “I can smell you princess” he said into my mouth which made me moan louder.

“Dinner first. We’ll take care of you. Tonight, you’re sleeping in our bed”.

“Okay”. Throughout dinner They were sneaking looks at me. Pamela and Matthew kept asking me if I was sure I was okay. They fussed over me while reading their sons a riot on making sure something like this never happens again. After dinner they all left leaving me and Pamela alone.

“Be careful Layla okay. Matthew and I are heading back home tonight. We stayed because we were worried about you but now, you’re better and recovering well so we can stop worrying. Listen to the boy’s okay sweetie”.

“Okay aunt Pam and thank you”.

“It’s okay sweetie. Take care of yourself I’ll see you for thanksgiving”.

I said goodbye to them Both and watched as they left. After a while Aleck came back.
“Hilda you can close off for the night”.

“Yes Mr Cavanaugh”.

He looked at me” And you lets go to bed” he said picking me up off the chair. He started going up the stairs. “Where are you taking me? My room is downstairs”?

“No that’s not your room. You were there because you were sick. You’re not anymore. You’re sleeping with us tonight baby girl”. He said smiling.

When he walked into the room, I was shocked at its size. He put me down on the bed, that’s when I noticed that the big was bigger than the previous one. A door opened and dean walked out of what I assume was the bathroom because he had a towel wrapped around his waist and water was dripping from his hair. Fuck me, I wanted him. I couldn’t help but stare at him. Aleck walked into the bathroom and Dean just stood there looking at me.

“I’m guessing you like what you see because you’re looking at me as if I was something to eat”. He said making his way over to me. He leaned over me causing me to lie flat on my back. He was so close to me; I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin.

“Dean” I whispered. He leaned in closer licking my neck and a shiver ran through my body.
“I can smell you princess”, before I could register what was happening his hands were under my dress. His mouth was on mine, his tongue speared into my mouth, and I groaned out loud. When he sank his fingers into me, I grabbed onto his shoulder and moaned louder.

“So, fucking beautiful. I missed you princess” he pulled away from me and smiled. He sank to the floor in front of me. he took his time, his hands gliding up my legs, he kissed my inner thigh, and I trembled and closed my eyes against the feeling. I wasn’t surprised to feel a pair of hand on my neck, when I opened my eyes, Aleck was leaning over me. I couldn’t help but smile at him.
