"And what about you? Who is gonna protect you?"
When he didn't answer, I shifted.
"This is gonna kill you, Kit."
I closed my eyes and looked away from him, just praying things could be different.
"I'll die if I have to."
It brought tears to my eyes.
"You can't die," I said and I brought my hand to the back of his head and ran my fingers through his hair before kissing him.
"I'm gonna make all of this okay, I promise," he said between our lips.
Shaking my head, I opened my eyes and looked into his.
"You can't promise that."
"I just did, Blondie," he said getting up.
The little smile that tugged at his mouth as he spoke made me bite my lip.
"God, I wish I could fuck that pretty mouth of yours when you bite your lip like that."
His abrupt words made my eyes widen. He could change the atmosphere within a second. Only a second ago were we both being deadly serious about everything that had happened. Now, I felt a little relieved and it was because of his ability to make me feel so at ease.
"Do you forgive me after our fight?" he asked, looking down at me.
It had been a taste of Kit finally opening up to me about his feelings. Despite our argument, I couldn't stay mad at him after everything that had happened.
"Go get a shower, pretty boy."
Scoffing, Kit pulled away. "Not so pretty anymore."
Kit's face was a mess, but even despite how bruised and busted his face was, he was still the hottest guy I'd ever seen in my life. He stared at me, something clearly on his mind.
"I wanna take you out," he said randomly, pulling his top off.
Words were lost to me as I stood and stared at the state of his body. I thought his face was bad until I saw his body and images of the abuse he must have had to endure to earn such marks clouded my mind, making me feel sick. I stood up and ran my fingers over his skin gently as a tear ran down my cheek. The fear Kit had eased was back in full force.
"Eves, I'm sorry. I should have waited until I was in the shower."
Shaking my head I brought my face to his shoulder, trying not to cry anymore.
"You don't need to hide from me," I said and tried to pull myself together.
"You need to relax. You heard what the nurse said."
I nodded. "What did you say about wanting to take me out? You know you can't do that."
Since the new mission had been enforced, it had been made clear that Kit and myself couldn't be seen together in public. Today at the hospital had been an exception under the circumstances. I found it hard to come to terms with.
Kit shook his head. "I wanna take you out. There's a ball held at Delta every year. It's mainly for our sponsors, to show our appreciation and to celebrate what we do at Delta. Most of our sponsors are multi-billionaires."
Using his finger and placing it beneath my chin, he looked me in the eyes.
"You're coming with me, Blondie."
