I nod, “He’s fine.”
The doctor sighs in relief, leaning out the door to excuse security before closing the door and diving into all the medical blah blah blah.
Time in the hospital. Again.
Weeks of healing at home.
No alcohol.
No strenuous activity.
But all I can think of is her.
As furious as she is, she’s here.
She stayed.
She loves me.
I’ll let her punish me however she sees fit.
At the end of it all, she chose to be with me and let me earn her forgiveness.
She chose to be mine as much as I am hers.
Andnothingwill ever matter more than that.
Chapter 38
DP (The Epilogue)
Two Months Later
BRIGIT
“Oh, sweet Bunny, you’re drenched,” Cormac coos, his fingers drifting over the curve of my ass.
I’mpainfullywet.
Cormac has been teasing me all day. Long, lingering kisses. Gentle, barely there brushes of his thumbs against my nipples before releasing me and continuing on like nothing happened. Standing behind me close enough that I can feel his dick against my ass. Licking my neck, sucking on the bite mark he left on my shoulder eight weeks ago.
When I couldn’t take it anymore and started to get a little “a little bratty” according to Cormac, he all but dragged me upstairs, roughly stripping me of all my clothes, murmuring into my ear how beautiful my body is, how much he’s wanted to get his hands on me over the last two months.
Now I’m on my hands and knees on his bed, facing the headboard with Cormac behind me. But I’m not allowed tolook, so I can’t see what he’s doing back there. All I can do isfeeland fuck, I feelso much. But none of it where I need it.
I’m indecently on display for him, and that’s more than enough to get me soaked already.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” he sighs, his fingers trailing between my thighs, drifting over my aching core before pulling away, making me bite back a whine.
“I’ve been here every day,” I remind him. “I’ve basically been playing nurse for months. Even when you disappeared for a few hours and came back covered in blood and sporting a new bruise.”
He hums appreciatively, gently slapping my ass and completely ignoring the reference to him and Skyler sneaking away to deal with something when he was supposed to behere, healing, “My sexy nurse.”
Now I do whine.
“What’s wrong, Brig?” he taunts.
It’s been alongeight weeks.
