CHAPTER 4
He held His breath, His fingers touching the side of her neck, praying
to every superior being He could think of that He would feel her pulse. Finally,
the faintest fluttering of her heart reached His fingertips. He exhaled,
pulling her tight against Him, practically squeezing her inside Him, then
stood up, gently lifting her in His arms, and made His way upstairs and outside
to His car. He gently laid her down across the back seat, and pulled a blanket
over her. He made sure to lay her on her stomach, as the blood was still
oozing on her back. His hands shook with rage and worry. He opened the driver
door, and paused, glaring towards the house with intense hatred and rage.
He hesitated, debating about going back in there to pummel Rick even more,
but decided against it... He wanted Rick's body to rot away in that house.
He lowered Himself into the car and sped away, trying to drive fast to get
home quickly, but had to drive carefully to avoid tossing around the precious
cargo He had in the backseat.
He pulled up to His house and got out, then took a deep breath before carrying
her into the house. Once inside, He kicked the door closed and carried her
upstairs into the bedroom. He lowered her ever-so-gently to the bed, being
so careful to lay her on her tummy. He flicked the bright ceiling fan lights
on, and dragged a chair over to the side of the bed. He ran downstairs and
grabbed something medical supplies His parents had left there for Him and brought
them to the chair. He sat down on the chair and put His elbows on the edge
of the bed, resting His head in His hands, shaking His head back and forth
in disbelief of the wounds she had received.
He didn't even know where to begin, there were so many. He grabbed some cotton
swabs and started dabbing at the blood, trying to do His best to clean off
the dried blood from her back and clean out the wounds that were still open.
She moaned slightly, shifting her position, so He stopped until she settled
down again. They had not yet met in person, having talked for hours and hours
on the phone and in the chatroom. She had a web cam, so He had been able to
see her before, and she was always able to watch Him work, but this was the
first physical contact.
He grabbed the bottle and sighed sadly. This would hurt like hell, but it would
get rid of the infection He knew would come if her cuts weren't closed up and
treated. Some of them, He saw, needed stitches. He glanced at the box of medications,
and grabbed a few more bottles.
He froze the areas that needed stitches, and got to work. A few times, she
moaned, sometimes she mumbled things He couldn't make out, but each time, a
soothing "Hushhhhhh" from His lips would calm her.
He sat back, having finished tending to the wounds on her back. He would have
to look over the rest of her body the next morning, especially the ribs He
knew the cane had bruised, and to make sure she didn't have any serious injuries.
He grabbed a blanket and spread it out on the floor beside the bed, then laid
down on it, keeping Himself close in case she woke up.
*************************************************************
i clutched my head. ohhhhhhh, i groaned silently... every part of
my body hurt like hell. i lifted my head, blinking, trying to clear my vision.
Everything was seen through double vision still, but it was enough to inform
me that i was laying face down on a very comfortable bed. i blinked again,
having no idea where i was, then suddenly, someone in the room moved.
i shot out of that bed, forgetting about the pain, panicking, rushing to the
door, not being able to find it, tripping over something on the floor, the
room spinning and tilting, my eyes betraying me and my escape attempt. He stood
up quickly, and i started searching for something, anything to hit him with.
i yelled at Rick to get away, but my vision was causing me to lose my balance...
and soon i was falling... falling...
*GASP!!!* i jumped. my heart was pounding, sweat covered me, and the second i moved, i groaned loudly, crying out in pain. i bit down on the blanket to keep from screaming, not noticing the movement beside my legs.
"Shhhhh... it's ok, My love". came His voice.
i froze. Was i finally insane? Was i hearing Him, even in this horrid place? i rolled onto my side very slowly; my back feeling like it was on fire. As He came into view, my jaw dropped.
"Master?" was all i could manage to whisper.
"Sshhhhh... yes, My love." He whispered back, shuffling over to me, His hand touching my cheek softly.
i felt so confused and disoriented... but that voice... was magical... able to calm me down, soothe the pain and relax the muscles... that voice...
i ignored the wounds that screamed at me as i sat up, and crawled across the bed to where He crouching on the floor, and threw my arms around His neck. His hands gripped my sides gently, and i knew He wanted to hold me tight, but was unable to due to the condition my back was in. i kissed Him, whispering my love for Him and gratitude, and eventually i became a babbling slave that no one would be able to understand. He chuckled, kissing me back, then carefully removed the heavy, stiff leather collar from my neck, and leaned down, His lips softly kissing my neck.
i arched back, tilting my head back as His lips touched down on my
soft neck, kissing it all over. Tears flowed down my cheeks, and when He
first saw them, frowned, worried, but saw me smile. He smiled, and kissed
my tears away. He slowly leaned back, laying down on the bed, and patted
the spot next to Him. i smiled, unable to form words, and crawled over to
Him, lying down gently on my side, my back to Him. One arm snaked around
my waist, pulling me closer to Him, as i rested my head on His other arm.
He kissed my shoulder, whispering, "Sshhhhh... everything is fine, My
love. Sleep, I'm right here, and I'll hold You all night. I told You, when
you got the chance to come home, that I'd hold You all night."
i nodded, chocking back tears, somehow managing to whisper, "Yes, Master,
i remember"
He smiled and leaned over, whispering into my ear, "Let me hold you forever."
