The Moon's Descendant - Chapter 23 - Sweet Dreams
Gunner.
I jumped to my feet and stood over her.
“Zee, Zee, Zee, calm down! You’re alright” I said trying to get her to stop.
She looked at me with confusion, blinking her eyes a few times.
“It’s me, you’re okay”.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and put my hand on her leg to stop her from kicking. She was looking at me like she didn’t know who I was. Oh Goddess, I hope she doesn’t have amnesia. She tried to talk, but instead she croaked and choked a little, so I grabbed a water bottle to let her have a drink. I sat back down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I thought I’d lost you there for a little while”.
I was overcome with joy as a tear fell from my eye. I quickly wiped it away, hoping she didn’t see that. I slipped my hand into hers and held it there, any skin to skin contact to help me stay calm.
“But you’re okay now” I said with a smile. She pulled at her arm, and I realised she was still strapped down,
“Oh right”.
I quickly jumped up and started undoing the buckles, jeez I hope she doesn’t think I’m some kind of kinky freak for tying her up like this.
“You were thrashing around a lot while you were out and we didn’t want you to hurt yourself anymore, so we thought it best to you know, tie you up”.
She didn’t say anything, just stared at me. She started to lift herself up and winced, and of course, I freaked out again.
“Whoa, whoa, slow down and I’ll help you”.
I ran and got my pillow and put it behind her back as gently as I could.
“There you go” I said with a smile and sat down on the edge of the bed.
I was damn happy she was finally awake; I knew she was strong, but I’m still impressed.
“Where?” she coughed, her voice sounded terrible,
“Just take it easy, try not to talk too much”.
I wanted to make her feel better and I wanted to comfort her. Her golden intense eyes staring right at me, made it difficult not to just pick her up and hold her. I put my hand on her leg, any contact with her was better than no contact.
“Where am I?” she asked coarsely,
“This is my room” I said,
“How long?” she croaked,
“You’ve been here for five days now. What's the last thing that you remember?” I asked her softly.
Once I know where she is at with her memory, I can fill her in on the rest. She leaned back on the pillow and closed her eyes. Goddess she is beautiful, even with all the bruises. With my hand on her knee, I could feel her going through the motions. I leaned closer to her and concentrated on what I could feel from her. She was a little happy but that quickly disappeared, and it turned into anxiety and fear. I squeezed her leg to let her know I was still here. Her fear turned to pain and sorrow. I felt such sadness for her. I wanted to make her forget. She quickly flew up right and grabbed at her neck. I could smell the anxiety coming off her so strongly now. She lifted her shirt and inspected her ribs, then turned to look at me, she started to panic, and her breathing fastened.
“It’s okay, you’re safe now” I assured her.
Moving forward on the bed, I wrapped her in my arms as she began to cry. Her tears were soaking into my shirt, but I just squeezed her tighter and gently stroked her hair.
“Shh, it’s okay, I won’t let him hurt you anymore” I whispered.
I held her close to me, wanting so badly to make everything better. I began to siphon her pain and after a minute it made me feel weak, so I laid down and pulled her down with me, still holding her close. She squirmed her body closer, wrapping her arm and legs around me. I felt her energy seep into my skin, and it instantly made me feel stronger. Being close to her was revitalising my own energy. It made me remember what Mum had said about True Mates and how they shared their powers. I’ve only been taking her pain, but maybe I could actually heal her. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on healing her wounds. I pictured my own energy entering her body and working on her injuries. I pictured the wounds closing and the skin healing over, leaving nothing behind. I began to feel fuzzy, like a hairy blanket had been wrapped around me. It was working. Zelena fell asleep in my arms, and I along with her.
We were laying together in the grass, she was happy and smiling. It was sunny and warm and there were wildflowers all around us. She sat on top of me with my shoulders pinned to the ground. She leaned forward and licked from my chin over my lips and nose and growled at me seductively. Oh Goddess, I want her. She kissed me passionately, rolling her tongue in my mouth and biting on my lip. I felt my erection growing as she sat on my lap. She started to kiss my neck as her hair fell over my face. Mm… she smells so good. She reached down and began to stroke my hard cock so I thrusted my hips into her hand. She started to rub my cock harder. Fuck yes, that feels so good. I squeezed her thighs and she squeaked.
I opened my eyes, shit, it was a dream, and I’m hurting her. I threw myself off the bed, grabbing a pillow as I rolled. I stood in the corner by the door covering my huge erection with the pillow. Holy Goddess, I’m an idiot. I rubbed my face trying to wake myself up,
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean too”.
My cheeks blushed red after I realised what I had just done. She giggled from where she laid on the bed, so she’s not mad. I looked over at her. She is heavenly, just lying there looking at me innocently.
“Did I hurt you?” I asked. The sight of her laying like that wasn’t helping ease the situation in my pants.
“No, I’m okay” she said patting the bed for me to come back.
I couldn’t, not yet. I don’t know if I have full control of myself, the moonlight is making me a little wild. I’ve been able to control the effects of the full moon for years, but now with her in the scene, I’m nothing more than a horny and undisciplined kid again.
“I’m sorry, I should have controlled myself better” I whispered.
“Gunner I’m okay, please come and sit back down”.
I walked slowly back to the bed, keeping my pillow where it was. I am so embarrassed with myself, grabbing her and grinding on her like that, after everything she’s been through. I need to change the subject, get my mind off it. I bet she’s hungry, she hasn’t eaten in days.
“Are you hungry? I can go and get you some food” I asked her with a smile,
“I’m starved” she moaned,
“I’ll run down and grab you something” I said standing up,
“Actually, if it’s okay I’d really like to walk a little. Can I come with you?”
I looked at her and tilted my head. She couldn’t be ready to get out of bed yet, could she? How much could she have actually healed already.
“Are you sure you’re up for it?” I asked, feeling unsure.
She tried to lift herself up but couldn’t. Okay so there hasn’t been too much healing then. The exterior may look a whole lot better, but the interior still has a lot more healing needed.
“I’m sure” she said adamantly.
