Chapter Three

“Oh, wow, he was really hard.”

EMERY

I sat on the edge of Jackson’s bed a few days later, holding his hand between my fingers and tracing small circles over his skin. He had been in and out for the past 48 hours but he seemed to be stirring now, on the verge of fully waking up. I moved the bag of ice that Pierce had given me for my wrist over to the nightstand, not wanting anything between our touch.

His eyes flickered open and for a few seconds they were a soft grey, the anger he was so accustomed too not visible, but then it faded and that same blackness flooded to the surface.

“Cameron,” he shot forward. “Where is he?”

“Shh,” I tried to push his body back down. “Stop, you need to take it easy.” I moved the blanket to the side of his body to make sure his wound hadn’t opened back up. “He’s gone.”

“I have to fucking find him,” he roared.

“You need to rest,” I ordered, running my fingers up and down his broad chest. His skin was hot and I immediately felt the spot between my legs grow to life. I blushed and pushed the wetness away. “Liam and Pierce are already on it, trust me.”

“They can’t do it without me,” he huffed.

“They can.” I moved closer to him on the bed, resting my leg over his thigh. “I hate to be the one to break it to you but you almost died. Believe it or not, that means you have to rest.”

“I’m fine,” he assured me. “Just a little sore.”

“Good. Are you…” I looked away. “Are you mad at me?”

“For what?” he sounded startled. “Did you do something?”

I shook my head. “No, just about the whole situation.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong, Emery. For once.”

I glanced at his naked chest and felt my heart start to race. How could I be turned on at a time like this? He needed me to be there for him emotionally not rock his body when he was close to being thrown on the other side for good.

He smirked as if he could read my thoughts.

“What can I get you?”

“I’m anxious,” he supplied. “I want to get up and kill someone.”

“You can’t,” I pleaded. “You’re still hurt!”

He pushed his back up into the headboard. “Sitting here and doing nothing is going to drive me crazy, lamb, I need to do something about what happened. I need…”

“You need revenge,” I cut him off. “I know and there will be plenty of time for that after you have fully recovered.” I reached around the back of him and fluffed his pillows a few times.

“It’s cute.”

“What is?”

“You thinking you’re in control.” He ran his hand over my chin and tilted it down so that he could see through my eyes. “When we both know you do what the fuck I say.”

I averted my eyes guiltily. He wasn’t wrong.

“But if you really want to stop me from getting up and putting someone into a shallow grave then…” he pushed his hand around to the back of my neck and yanked me toward him.
