Mother of the Moon - Chapter 87 - The Doctor
Zelena.
Gunner spent that night with me at the hospital, I was more than happy to share the small bed with him. Sleeping in his warm and loving embrace filled me with blissful happiness, and I slept like a baby. Gunner however, not so much. I awoke at one point in the night to him squeezing the life out of me. He was grunting and mumbling and begging someone not to leave him. I gently stroked his face and whispered that everything was okay. He eventually calmed down and I drifted back off to sleep.
I woke up before Gunner and just gazed at him while he slept. His face was scrunched up and he looked anything but peaceful. There was light coming through the small window and I could hear movement out in the hallways, it must be late morning already. I traced my fingers over Gunner's cheek and lips and tickled the hair on his chin. Slowly his eyes opened and landed immediately on mine. A smile spread across his face and he pulled me tightly into his arms.
“I didn’t dream it” he whispered into my hair. Letting me go and pulling back again, he rested his head back onto the pillow. We lay facing each other, my hands gripping onto one of his and his other hand on my hip.
“How’d you sleep?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
“It was fine” he shrugged. Liar. I pursed my lips and furrowed my eyebrows, wondering if I should push him on it or just let it go. There is obviously a lot to unpack here, I can only imagine how hard it would have been after the battle. And I wasn’t there to help him with any of it. I only adding to his worries. He lifted his hand from my hip and ran his finger over my scrunched-up forehead.
“What’s this about?” he asked softly, tracing the lines on my forehead. I decided to let it go, for now, and quickly thought of something else to say. Looking into his enchanting blue eyes, I softened my face.
“What’s the date?” I asked him.
“August twenty-seventh, why’s that?”
“Huh, I’m nineteen now. Guess I slept through my birthday”
“When was your birthday?” Gunner asked a little shocked.
“It was on August fourth”
“Well, you missed mine too, it was July sixteenth”
“Oh well, just another year right”
“I think we should have a birthday party, for both of us. It can be a welcome-back slash I-was-in-a-coma-for-my-birthday kind of party. What do you think?” he asked with a hint of excitement in his tone.
“I think that sounds totally ridiculous, but also kind of great”.
He leaned forward and kissed my forehead with a huge smile.
“Perfect, I’ll get Mum to arrange it, she loves that sort of stuff”
“Well okay” I chuckled. I’ve never had a birthday party before, I’ve never even gotten a birthday present before. The more I thought about the whole thing the more my excitement grew. My very first birthday party.
“What are you smiling about gorgeous?” Gunner asked, running his thumb over my smiling lips.
“I was just thinking” I answered him.
“Yeh, about what?”
“Well, I’ve never had a birthday party before, I’m kind of excited”.
He looked at me wide eyed, before his face dropped a bit and scowl took over. He looked so angry and sad at the same time.
“Hey, what’s this for?”
“That mother fucker”
“Gunner, he got what was coming to him”
“He should have suffered more”
“He suffered in the end, that’s what matters”.
He crinkled his nose and pursed his lips together. He closed his eyes tight and stayed like that for a minute. He eventually blew out a slow breath and relaxed his face. He opened his eyes again and smiled at me.
“Well then, we’re just going to have to make sure that this is the best birthday party ever”.
I smiled brightly and nodded my head. This is going to be great. A soft knock on the door pulled us out of our little bubble and Gunner sat up straight on the bed.
“Come in” he called.
Doctor Tenner walked in and came over to the foot of the bed.
“How’s the patient feeling today?” he asked with a soft smile.
“I’m good, I feel really good” I responded, sitting up on the bed,
“When can I go home?” I asked.
“Ah, well you were in a coma for a long time. We can’t just let you up and leave without running a few tests”.
Gunner growled lowly from beside me. The doctor noticed and his face paled.
“B-but given the circumstances here, we could possibly release you tomorrow morning” he said quickly while eyeing Gunner.
“Oh, not today? I really do feel just fine. I swear” I said, shifting my gaze between Gunner and the doctor.
“I ah, I-I I’ll see what I can do” Doctor Tenner stuttered before quickly turning and exiting the room. I looked at Gunner and he quickly turned his head away from me.
“What’s going on?” I asked confused.
“Nothing, little wolf” he answered laying back down but still avoiding eye contact.
“Gunner” I growled.
“The Doc knows who we are, more so, what we are” he admitted.
“He what! Isn’t that dangerous?”
“We paid him a lot of money to keep his mouth shut, and to do a few other things”
“Things like what exactly?”
“To not do certain tests on you, and to keep your file secret, he also worked on Dad while he was in here as well”
“Oh, so what then? Is he like a secret pack doctor now?”
“He may be. He is terrified of me, so I know he’ll do what I want. Plus, he really liked the money we gave him, so I bet he would be up for more should we need him again”.
“Hm, okay”
“Okay?” Gunner propped his body up on his elbow and looked at me.
“Yeh okay. You’re the Alpha. If you think it’s okay, then I support your decision”.
Gunner smirked and lowered his head a little so that he was looking at me through his lashes. He quickly shot forward, wrapping his arms around my body and pulled me back down on top of him. I screamed and laughed as we fell back onto the bed.
“You’re my Luna, my Goddess, my equal. You get a say in all this too” he said nuzzling his face into my neck and cheek. I felt a flicker of heat light up in my groin. I love how his skin feels against mine.
“Thank you, my Alpha. Have I told you lately that I love you” I whispered lowly, leaning further into his touch. A seductive growl vibrated through his chest and bubbled out of his mouth. The sound instantly made the heat grow and a small throb begin in my panties. He really is deliciously addictive. He licked from the base of my neck up to my earlobe and gently bit down. A moan escaped my lips and arched my back, grinding my hips into his.
“You smell good enough to eat” he rumbled.
“Go ahead” I egged him on. I felt his smile against my face before he flipped us over on the bed so that he was now above me. He traced his tongue back down my neck, kissing and biting as he went. In a blink he was quickly down with his head between my legs, pressing his face against my pubic bone. He growled again as he pressed his nose and lips into my crotch and inhaled deeply. Oh sweet Goddess, please take me now. My knees were shaking slightly, and I gripped my hands onto the side of the bed. Butterflies filled my stomach as I waited to feel his strong tongue against my wet folds. He pressed his nose harder against my clit, the sensation sending a wave of pleasure through my already weak legs.
A swift knock on the door and Gunner growled, pulling his head out from under my hospital gown. Agh, for fuck's sake. Really? Right now, things were just getting good.
“Come in” Gunner grunted. Doctor Tenner came in and smiled at the two of us.
“Good news Miss Baxter, I have your release papers and you’re free to leave” he announced proudly. I shot up in the bed, my smile taking over my entire face.
“Really, I can go home?” I asked excitedly.
“Yes, you can, as long as you promise that if you show any unusual symptoms, headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, anything, you come right back”
“I do, I promise” I jumped up onto my knees and wrapped my arms around Gunner's neck.
“Thanks Doc” Gunner said firmly.
“Any time” Doctor Tenner replied. He put the papers on the table by the door and left again. I was bouncing on my knees squeezing Gunner tightly. Home, thank the Goddess.
“We can go home” I squeaked.
“Finally. Then I can continue with what I was just doing” he said with a smirk.
“Well in that case, let’s not dilly-dally. Get up and take me home”
“Dilly-dally? Really?” Gunner laughed.
“Oh shut up, I’m excited, I can’t help what comes out of my mouth” I shrugged. Gunner pulled my face close to his and pressed his lips to mine.
“I’m more excited about what I’m going to put in that mouth” he teased. Holy heck, that’s so hot. I couldn’t say anything, my mouth just hung open. We definitely need to get home, like right now. Gunner laughed at my expression and kissed me again before standing up off the bed. Getting all the tubes and cords taken off my body was done quickly, sorting out the paperwork was even quicker. It was like Gunner and I were running a race, first one home and naked in the bed, won.
