Chereads / The Teased Mate / Chapter 17 - Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 17 - Chapter Sixteen

I just want to take a shower and not see her. She is still out there and there is probably plenty more where she came from. I wonder how she found us?

Those grounds are hidden to the human eye. They sent a team out to further investigate this. Anthony's father was completely pissed because his only son was hurt.

Cristal his younger sister is too busy to come see her brother now. By too busy, I mean she is online watching YouTube videos. She did come but she waved to me once and continued to keep her eye on the screen. His little sister and I get along well, but it is a kind of awkward situation since we were kind of close and then I became mates with her brother. We used to talk shit about him and have sleepovers, now I have sleepovers that never end with him. How ironic right?

She came over when their parents went away for Alpha related trips. Anthony slept in my brother's room and Cristal slept in mine.

We were kind of like a family, but at the same time, we were not.

I walk into his room with a bright smile.

"The doctor said if you're up for it you can take a shower as long as you have assistance. Are you up for one?" He grins widely.

"That would be greatly appreciated," I call in a nurse. She is a tall blonde, but around 50.

His smile shrinks and he looks up at me.

"Can you please get us our change of clothes, Mrs. Hudson left them at the front desk." She quickly leaves the room. Yes, Mrs. Hudson is his Step-Mom, she used to be his nanny. But he loves her kind of like a mom, I think.

"Did you really think, I would let another woman get her grubby little fingers on you?" He chuckles holding his hand over his chest.

"No, and I would never let anyone lay a finger on you too." I nod and open the door to the bathroom. The shower is a walk-in one. It is really big and it does have a railing to help the patient's get-in. I absolutely think it is one of the best things to do right now.

I begin taking my clothes off and as I turn around, I can see Anthony struggling to get his pants off. I swallow a laugh, knowing I can't laugh at him while he is hurt. He is just super stubborn and refuses to ask for help when he needs it.

"Let me help you with that babe," I say while I undo his zipper. He pulls them off and kicks them away in one swift motion. It has become one of my daily duties, to pants him, since he was in the 8th grade. I only did it once because I couldn't get my jacket off and he helped and let's just say goods were shown.

I begin messing around with both of the levers. One is hot, the other is cold. His mom bought us some great smelling body wash and shampoo from the gift shop. Nothing is really different compared to mortal hospitals. He steps in and I grab the body wash and scrubby. Pouring the soap, I begin slathering it on his skin. Making sure I go softer in all his most tender areas.

The water is a crimson brownish color and I wince at the thought of what happened to him. As soon as I am done with him, I begin to wash under the steaming hot water. I grab the shampoo that smells like peppermint and lavender. A really odd but good scent. I run it through my messy hair making sure to rinse it all out.

I move out of the way so he can stick his soapy head under the water. The water is so hot that steam layers the room. I wrap my arms around the waist of my mate. Pulling him closer, I let out a breath almost crying out. "I almost lost you." He takes a deep breath and I can feel the wave of pleasure from his hot breath, on my tender mark. He moves his forehead and places his lips on mine in one tender motion. After the kiss, I find my way back to the crook of his neck.

"Well you didn't, I am not going without a fight." I want to hold him tighter, but then again I don't want to hurt him. I take my head off his shoulder to look at him. His lip is slightly swollen and there are a few cuts on his neck. He leans his head against mine and I can feel my back hit the wall as his lips captured mine again. With one flick of his tongue, I can feel my wolf purring. This isn't a kiss of hunger, lust or anything else it is a kiss of undying love. His lips bring me back to life as if I were an inch away from death, but what lies under the kiss is the truth, love. Our lips become one whole instead of one half.

We break apart both in need of air, but one thing that has changed is all his bruises and cuts are gone. Not even a scratch or scar left.

"I think your super healing has kicked in now," I whisper.

He smiles and kisses my nose.

"Good now I can do this." He lifts me up and carries me out of the shower. I go to grab a rope but instead get tangled in his lips. It is like a magnetic force of some kind I can't stop. I don't want to stop it.

Shit, it's heat...

I pull away and sit down on the sink. I close my eyes trying to control my sexual urges, but it only makes it worse since all of my other senses are going crazy right now.

A small wave of pain settles into my ovaries. It feels sharp, I let go of some air I didn't realize, I was holding. All I want to do is cry out in pain or just have my mate do the deed, but it really isn't the time and place.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks me as I shiver in need of warmth. He quickly wraps the robe around me and takes a step back.

"Heat," he softly whispers. His eyes turn almost coal-black for a second.

"We can go to my parents' house they already put a bed in there for us to stay in."

"Okay." I say, "just please take this pain away." I cry out again as the stabbing pain happens again. Heat was created so the moon gods and goddesses could make sure packs stay strong. Being luna means I have to have an heir, which means heat is worse. It takes every ounce of me to not have what I want.
