As soon as I step out the door I am out of there. That was one of the worst things I've ever had to do and I'm in so much pain. The cuts on my back burn and throb even deeper now after having to wield the lash but the pain I feel inside is just as bad.
I go to the one person I know who I can turn to for comfort. I step out of the ether and knock on the door.
He's here. I move quickly and throw open the door, "Oh Daniel I was so... oh Daniel what has happened?!"
Gently I help him in. He walks gingerly, it is his back. The anger in me rises and I want to kill whoever has hurt him... Lord Edward. I smell him - and I smell Daniel's blood.
Looking at his back I can see the blood stains, "Oh Daniel...here sit."
I ring the bell and tell the familiar to bring me the Smewlig salve and whiskey. He starts to ask something and I holler at him to do it NOW!
Moving back to Daniel I unbutton his shirt as I kneel in front of him, "Tell me."
He is in so much pain, and for him to feel it this much he has been suffering immensely. I want to know why Lord Edward would do this to one of his own!
He flinches as I slip his shirt off. Oh my Daniel.
Even just the movement of the shirt makes me clench my hands on my knees. I don't expect Bill to understand. He comes from this clan of free love. I don't look up at him as I try to hold it all in. "I let my family down and I paid the price."
I reach up and grab his wrist pulling his hand away. "Be careful, it really hurts."
I growl at the thought of his family doing this to him no matter what!
"I will be, the salve will help... here yes."
Dimitri brings me what I've asked for then leaves quickly. I should not have hollered at him, but my Daniel is in pain. I reach over and grab the salve and the whiskey bottle. Standing I hand him the whiskey and sit on the bed.
"Drink. It is strong, a special make and will help with the pain."
Moving behind him I gasp softly at what I see. My eyes sting with tears and my voice a mere whisper, "How could they?"
Opening the jar of Smewlig it's scent makes me close my eyes for only a moment and center myself. "This is often used as recreation because of the effects. It will sting like hell at first but then should take you to a gentler much more pleasant place."
I place a gentle kiss on his neck as I push his hair to the side. The cuts are so deep; he has been flogged with silver tips. "What could you possibly have done to deserve this?"
I can't see my back but I know from his reaction it ain't pretty. I feel his soft kiss and I want to just turn around in his arms and bury my face in his neck. I take a swig of whiskey instead.
What could you possibly have done to deserve this?"I let Raphi take a human life. I wasn't watching him and I was supposed to be. I knew he was looking to go hunting. He's been feeding on humans... I saw him with this young guy and I just let him walk off with him. It was a stupid lapse of judgement. I just thought he was going to feed you know. I was tired of following him around and arguing with him
( ... )
I am sickened that this is how his family treats him. Raphi took a human and made him - just like that? Oh dear that is bad but to do this... I shake my head as I apply the salve. I was going to warn him but he is drinking steadily.
I touch the swab a cut and he hisses. Placing my hand on his shoulder I try to soothe him, "I am sorry my sweet. If this is what he did to you, I can only surmise he killed this mate and has Raphi in the dungeon?"
My words drip with malice. I do not understand such actions and I do NOT want Daniel back there - ever. I am angry and I hurt for my love. I place more salve on him hoping the effects are catching up to him, "Any better my lo - my sweet?"
I know better than to call him my love, but in a time like this when all I want to do is surround him and hold him and protect him it is difficult.
His hands move on my back and that stuff stings but after a bit the whiskey takes affect and the pain isn't so bad. I feel all warm and tingly, relaxed. I take another drink. My head swims and I put the bottle down. I think I've had enough of that. I'm nicely numb now.
I hang my head and close my eyes. "No Raphi is fine, well, physically maybe. I don't know otherwise. His mate took his punishment. I lean back into his hands my back a dull ache now. "I don't ever want to do that again."
His mate took it?! I don't think I will ever look at Edward the same again - wait - do what again? I close my eyes and concentrate as my hands are on him... oh no, oh no. I swallow hard as I feel my stomach turn.
Leaning forward I bury my face in his beautiful hair smelling his blood, "I'm so sorry Daniel."
Placing a few kisses on his neck I know he is feeling the effects of the whiskey and salve. "Come lay down and let me wash all of you."
I move and he lies on his side. I kneel next to the bed and push his hair out of his face and smile softly at him, "I'll take care of you."
I smile softly at him and put my hand out to touch his face. It is practically glowing with beauty. My heart thumps hard behind my ribs as I touch his soft skin. "I know you will."
I close my eyes and let my fingers explore his face, the gentle slope of his cheek, the plump push of his lips. "That's why I came here." I open my eyes and look at him again as my hand slips down and my fingers curl around his long neck. "You love me."
My eyes widen and I smile, yes he is feeling the effects. I place my hand over his, "Yes I do, very much."
Pulling his fingers to my mouth I kiss them, "Be right back with some water and cloth."
He smiles at me and I lean in and kiss him softly loving the way he hums into the kiss. I rub my nose to his then get up and get what I need. I want to wash his hair, because it needs it, or perhaps I just like touching it. I chuckle to myself as I join him.
Kneeling again I wet the cloth and take his hand and begin to wash his fingers and hand, wrist then up his arm. I can feel his eyes on my hands and smile knowing how he loves my nails, "Do you feel like you could feed?"
Watching his hands always without fail gets me hard but this time it takes a little bit. Not that they are any less sexy just the affect seems to simmer now instead of hitting me instantly in the groin, it slowly builds. His touch is very soothing.
I tear my eyes off his fingers when he speaks and look up at him. "I'm not really hungry." I think my stomach saw enough blood today. My eyes travel over him and I think of Raphi, wondering why he chose to take Benjamin as his mate instead of just leaving him for dead. Bill has never said anything about me taking him as a mate.
I lazily put my hand on his arm. "Why do you love me?"
I look up from his arm into his eyes and smile. I should have given him some of this stuff earlier.
"Because you are strong, passionate, a warrior like no other," I run my fingertips over his lips, "and when you look at me I feel like could explode into a million pieces from ecstasy. You are stubborn and bull headed and you make me crazy, and I love every second of it."
Smiling I let go of his arm letting it sit on his side, "Other hand please."
I take in what he said as I hold my other arm out to him. I smile and watch his gorgeous hands move over me, washing away the days horror. Every now and then his nails scrape on my skin and my groin twitches.
His silence though pulls at me and I look up at his face, my own question boring a hole in my brain. "Why didn't you ask me..?"
I love slowly washing him, mapping his body although I already know it quite well. I continue with the cloth on his chest, "Ask you what?"
The effects are hitting him now and I'm glad he is feeling better, hopefully no more pain. His tongue is loose as well which I admit I like, although I'm not sure I'm following his train of thought - or if he even is.
I bring my hand up and grab his wrist stilling his hand needing his attention to be on the question at hand. His eyes cut from my chest to me. "I asked why you loved me... you didn't."
I feel my body tremble and breath stutter. I do not want to take advantage of his state, but the thought of...
"You are feeling the effects of the salve and whiskey, I do not wish to take advantage of you Daniel. I believe I know how you feel about me, as to why," I shrug my shoulder and smile at him, "I will wait till you tell me how you feel then I will ask."
I look into his eyes and I see the love there, I've seen it many times. To hear it from his lips though... it would only be the fact he is wounded I would not jump on top of him and pleasure us both.
I go to the one person I know who I can turn to for comfort. I step out of the ether and knock on the door.
