Chapter 750

Chapter 95 : We Can’t Go Home Yet

*Soren*

I returned Mila’s kiss passionately. Heat stirred in my abdomen and my pants tightened.

As much as I wanted to throw her back on the bed and claim her, it wasn’t the right moment.

Groaning, I pulled my hands from her hips and tore our lips apart.

Mila panted, her cheeks bright red and her lips swollen. I grabbed the bedcovers, keeping myself from launching at her and kissing her again.

She was still recovering from all the cuts Sebastian had given her and I didn’t want to slow down her recovery. She’d only just woken up after being unconscious for three days.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

Her eyes looked at my fists as they clenched the bedspread.

“I’m fine. But you’re being a naughty girl and if you start something you can’t finish… Well, that’s a whole other issue.” I smirked.

Mila’s cheeks turned a dark shade of crimson and she looked away, chewing her bottom lip.

I chuckled. “I can’t wait to devour you… so get better soon, for me. Because when you’re back up to your full strength…”

“Now who’s being naughty?” she teased.

“You should keep focusing on getting better. Do you want to sleep more?”

Mila creased her brow and shook her head. “No. I want to move around! I’ve been lying here for days and my whole body is sore. I’m going to get bed sores if I keep lying here.”

“Let me see,” I said, motioning to Mila’s stomach.

She pushed the sheet back and pulled up her shirt. I brushed my thumb over her stomach. It was awful seeing her cut up like that, even though she was healing. Her cuts were scabbed over now, so she probably wouldn’t be too weak or lose any more blood.

“That’s probably a good idea. Stretch your legs and your bones, then you can get a good night’s sleep tonight.”

I dropped the sheet and held a hand out to her.

“I can get up on my own.”

“I’m not taking any chances,” I said, shaking my head. “Your cuts are scabbed over but they could reopen if you aren’t careful.”

Mila sighed and took my hand. I looped my arm around her waist and helped her out of the bed. The moment her feet touched down, she winced and leaned on me heavily.

When we’d gotten to the house, I cleaned her wounds. They were shallow cuts but there must have been something on the blade Sebastian used because they weren’t healing as fast as they should have been.

I’d cleaned them and dressed them for days, checking the healing progress and keeping infection away.

Every time I had cared for her cuts, I regretted not shredding Sebastian to a thousand little pieces when I’d had the chance.

I should have returned the favor tenfold!

And now, I didn’t know when I’d get that chance again.
