He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. A slow, deep lip-lock. Her body melded to his and she wound her arms around his neck. Davian let the kiss go on and on. His hands roamed her backside, along her spine and down to her ass. He kneaded the flesh, while keeping her tight against him. His erection pressed to her belly, but he was in no hurry. He enjoyed the feel of her body and the taste of her warm, supple lips.
When she jerked in his arms, Davian knew the doctor had started stitching her up. In his fantasy, Davian ended the kiss and floated on his back to a smaller waterfall. Her arms were still around him and she drifted with him. He sat on a flat rock with the water flowing behind him, breaking against his shoulders. She straddled his lap, her palms splaying over his pecs.
“You’re more breathtaking than ever,” he said, willing her to see herself healed. “I can’t take my eyes off you.”
She leaned forward and kissed him. His hands cupped her breasts and he tenderly massaged them before sweeping his thumbs over her pebbled nipples. She sighed lustily and sank onto his hard cock, taking him deep within her.
Davian groaned. “I love how you feel. So tight and wet. So enticing.”
Moving with him, her hips undulated and her head fell back. He kissed her throat. Having her in his arms was pleasure enough, but with her pussy clenching and releasing his cock, his arousal soared. His lips skimmed over her skin, just below her ear.
“I meant what I said at the church, Jade. I do love you.”
She ran her fingers through his hair, and clutched him tighter. He wasn’t experienced enough with using a fantasy to calm her mind to fully understand the nuances, but he suspected that if she spoke, it would pull her attention away from her other efforts, so he didn’t expect her to answer him.
Though she was clearly capable of responding to him with her body. She rode him slowly as the water cascaded over them, the gentle flow creating a soothing sound. The sky above was cloudless and bright blue. The rustling of leaves from a summer breeze and the chirping of birds surrounded them.
The environment was serene and sensuous and he would have prolonged their time there as long as possible, but she gasped. Davian’s eyes flew open.
“I’m finished,” Schaeffer said.
Davian glanced down at the stitches over Jade’s left breast. The physician had apparently dabbed the wound with iodine, which was likely what had caught her off guard.
Her sooty lashes fanned in crescents under her eyes with the lids closed and her breathing was choppy. Schaeffer checked her pulse and recorded it on a sheet of paper.
“A little better,” he said. “It should continue to get stronger. Some of the cuts on her face have already healed.” He stared at her in awe.
“Michael?” she whispered.
Davian’s jaw naturally tightened at the other man’s name.
“He’ll be fine,” the doctor assured her. “He has a dislocated shoulder, but I’ve already seen to it. Walker brought him to me earlier.”
Davian asked, “What happened to him?”
“Wraith’s horse,” Jade said.
He didn’t have to ask her why Michael had been at the cottage earlier. It was Jade’s birthday, after all. A
nd they were friends.
He told her, “Dr. Schaeffer says Michael is fine. Now you’ve got to help yourself along.”
She swallowed hard. “I need to sleep.”
Not exactly what Davian wanted to hear, since it slowed the healing process. But he could understand how exhausted she’d be.
The physician deposited a bottle of morphine on the nightstand and packed up. Then he said, “Check her pulse regularly. She’s improving, but should be monitored closely for the next twenty-four hours or so.” He studied her a moment longer before adding, “I don’t understand how the blood soaks into her skin.”
“It’s a strange phenomenon for a human, obviously. But she can repair herself if she has the energy—and needs the blood to do it.”
“This is…extraordinary.”
“Yes, she is.” Davian glanced down at her again. “She just needs to believe it.”
“Well. There’s nothing more I can do for her right now, but if anything erratic does happen tonight, send for me.”
“Thank you. I’ll be sure to have my assistant pay your bill expeditiously.”
