Summary: Just a little tender loving care.

They broke from their kiss to breathe. She looked into his dark eyes and knew he wanted her but there was something she had to do first. “Dominic, I want you.”

He was breathing heavily through his mouth and he growled when he heard her words. “I want you too, baby, but you’re hurt.”

“The only thing that will make me better is my mate. I need you. I want you.” She ran her hands over his shoulders. “Do you remember those words? You made me say them before you claimed me.”

“I remember.” His voice was strained and deeper than usual.

“I want you but first I need you to wash me. I want his scent off of my body! Then I want your hands and your scent back on me where it belongs.”

He wanted to act immediately on her words but all the bandages on her body stayed his impulses. “Mick, you’re injured and I don’t want to cause any more damage.”

“The only damage I am suffering from is the feel of his hands and tongue on my flesh and his smell on my body! I want it off and I want you to replace it. Are you going to deny me, my love?”

“I’ll run your bath.” He got up and ran into the bathroom.

While she was alone, she closed her eyes and tried to focus past her pain. ‘Get up.’ She grit her teeth and sat upright. The pain in her gut brought tears to her eyes. ‘Calm down. Focus past this. He won’t touch you if you’re in pain. You need him.’

She forced herself to her feet and took some slow unsteady steps towards the bathroom. After her seventh step, her head started to throb and she began to fall forward.

Dom caught her in his arms on her way to the floor. “Mick! Are you okay?”

“No. I’ve had a raging fever, my head is banged up, my stomach was kicked through to my back, and my knuckles are fucked up again!”

“Baby, maybe you should…”

“Don’t! Don’t you dare say it. I don’t care how fucked up I am. I need you to touch me! I need you to make love to me! Get him off of me. Please.” She pleaded with him.

He picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. He placed her back on her feet and leaned her against the vanity. “Hold onto my shoulders for a second.” When she did, he pulled her shorts and thong down her legs until she could step out of them. He stood up and slowly pulled the remains of her shirt and bra off her shoulders and down her arms. “What about your stitches? Will they be ok?”

She nodded her head and looked into his eyes with tears coming from hers. He sat her on the vanity and pulled his shirt over his head. She gasped when she saw the angry red marks on the caramel skin of his chest. “Dominic! You’re hurt!” She ran her fingers over his flesh touching each mark.

He smiled at her touch. “I don’t feel anything but you.” He took her hands in his and looked at her knuckles. “These are a mess. I’ll wrap them for you when we get done with our bath.” He placed a kiss to each hand and then took off his pants.

She looked at the backs of her hands and smiled. “These are trophies of war. I couldn’t be happier with the way they look. By the gods, you are gorgeous!” She was admiring his body as he stood before her nude and fully erect.

He gave her a devilish grin and picked her up. “So are you.” He sat in the tub with her in between his legs. They soaked away their aches and relaxed. “Why do you say ‘by the gods’?”

“Egyptian, remember? Egyptians have more than one. Well, at least the ones who believed in the old gods. I studied all of them as well as the Greek gods.”

“I noticed. Zeus was the king of the gods. Apollo was the sun god and Ares is the god of war. Am I right?”

“Completely accurate.”

“What do those symbols mean around your ankle? I already know that is a tribal tattoo in the small of your back.”

“I thought you’d never ask. They are hieroglyphics in the front and the back. These 3 are the letters R-O-B. These 2 in the back are red dog. I have an ankh on the outside for eternal life and this one on the inside is the Eye of Horus.”

“Interesting. Did he have your name too?”

“Yes.”

“I thought it was bad luck to tattoo someone’s name on you. What would you have done if you ever stopped being friends?”

“Why do you think it’s in hieroglyphics? If we ever did, no-one would know what it means.” His deep bass voice broke out laughing and she joined him. After they calmed down, she turned around and faced him. “Are we forever?”

He wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled lovingly at her. “It feels like forever already.”

She frowned. “Is that supposed to be a compliment?”

“Definitely, baby. Even though we’ve only had a couple of days, it feels like we’ve been in love for a lifetime.”

“You stole that from Terminator. A version of it anyways. They are great words though.”

He reached for her sponge and submersed it in the bubbles. Then he started to wash her face, neck, and shoulders. He looked into her eyes when he moved down to her breasts and gently ran the sponge over both and then her stomach.

“Lean back and relax, Mick. Float on top of the water.” When she did as she was told, he moved to her side and slipped his knees under her back and ass to keep her afloat. “Close your eyes and just feel me.”

She looked into his eyes for one second, then closed her eyes and turned herself over to his healing touch. He ran his free hand and the sponge over every inch of her flesh and she felt like she was in heaven. He looked at her stitches and bruised stomach and guilt flooded him for wanting her so badly. With her eyes still closed, she whispered. “Don’t.”

“Don’t what?”

“Whatever you feel guilty about, don’t. Can you feel me right now? What am I feeling?”

He closed his eyes and his cock became unbearably hard. When he spoke, he had to grate out each word. “Want. Desire. Need. Love.”

“That is all you should think about. No guilt is necessary. Dominic, take me to bed and make love to me now.”

He pulled her body into his arms, got his legs under him and walked out of the tub. Scented water ran down their bodies as he took her to their bed. He lowered her down and lay beside her.

He ran his tongue over her face, down her throat; mindful of her cuts; and down to her breasts. He lapped the water from her rounded flesh before his lips engulfed a nipple and he sucked it into his mouth.

His careful but sensual exploration of her body had every one of her nerve endings highly sensitized to his touch. Her arousal was pooling between her legs and he moved down to taste her sweet nectar.

“Oh my goddess! Oh baby. Right there!” She was writhing under his skillful ministrations. He was sucking on her clit and fucking her with 2 of his fingers. “Dominic…I’m…gonna cum.” Her head was thrashing back and forth on the bed and then her whole body went rigid as her orgasm overtook her.

“God, Mick. You are an aphrodisiac. I love the way you taste.”

“Come here, baby. I want to taste you now.”

He crawled up beside her and rolled over onto his back. His breathing got heavier with the mental image of her mouth wrapped around him. When she moved down, she laid on her front between his legs and drew in a sharp breath when pain shot through her abdomen.

“You’re in pain, Mick. Baby…”

“Shut up and watch me.” Then she leaned forward and ran her tongue from his balls to the head. His eyes screwed shut and a hiss escaped his lips. “Open your eyes, my love.”

When he did, he saw her tongue roll around the head of his shaft and then dip into the slit to collect the pre-cum that was gathering there. She kept his gaze when she engulfed his head in her mouth and slid his length down her throat.

“You…are…my goddess.” She rolled his balls around in her hand and continued to suck his cock while watching his eyes. “Baby…stop. I want to be inside of you.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her up beside him. He positioned her on her left side, moved up behind her, and brought her right leg up to lie over his. He grabbed his cock and slid halfway into her hot channel.

His head resting on the side of hers, he wrapped an arm around her chest and slowly pumped in and out of her. “You are so fucking hot, baby.” He whispered in her ear.

“And you feel so good inside of me!”

He had to force himself to go slow with her. He didn’t want to hurt her so he made love to her but his need to reclaim his mate compelled him to thrust a little harder. “Dominic, don’t hold back. I want all of you.” His length and size could be felt deep within her. She felt like he was nudging her stomach but her pleasure outweighed any discomfort. He moved in her with long, powerful strokes and they were both approaching their climax together.

In between her cries of ecstasy, she gasped out, “I…love…you.”

“I love you too. You’re mine.” They both went over the edge together. Her body was shaking and she could feel his cock release his seed into her womb. “You’re mine, Mick. Forever.”

“Good because I’m not letting go of you either!”

“Hey guys! Dinner is ready if you’re done rutting like a couple of love-sick teenagers that can’t keep their hands off of each other.” Leon started laughing.

Mikaela giggled and yelled out. “We’ll be down in a minute after we get cleaned up and dressed.”

Brian yelled back. “Don’t hold back on our account. We want all of you.” All 3 eavesdroppers laughed. “It’s hot down here but it feels so good.”

“Oh fuck off!” They both said in unison.

“Come on, baby. Let’s get cleaned up and go face the music.” He said and kissed the side of her head.

“I’m ready but you wore me out so you’re going to have to dress me.”

He pulled out of her body and felt her shiver. ‘Loss. She misses me already.’ He rolled her onto her back and gave a quick lick to each of her nipples. “I miss your body already too.” Then he went to the bathroom and got a damp towel and washed their combined juices from her legs.

He went back into the bathroom, washed himself and moved into the walk-in closet. When he came back out, he was already dressed in a t-shirt and gym shorts and carried a long pink sundress. “Nothing underneath, love. I don’t want anything rubbing against your injuries. Sit up and I’ll slip this on you.”

She sat upright and held her arms up for the dress to slide over her head and down to her waist. Then he grasped her hands and helped her stand so that the dress slid down to her mid-calf. “Come on, beautiful. Come to daddy.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and he swept her up in his arms and carried her downstairs.

When he turned into the living room, they were met with 3 smiling faces. Mia spoke up first. “Well, I thought we might starve to death waiting on the two of you. Put her down over here, Dom.” She indicated a vacant area on the sofa. “If you can stand to be apart from her for a moment, go with Brian and serve us.”

Dom gently placed her on the sofa and kissed her. “Love you, babe. Be right back.”

“I love you too.” When he went out on the patio, Mikaela turned to Leon and Mia. “I thought we were going to eat outside.”

“Umm.” Leon fished for words and decided to play it straight with her. “I thought we should stay in here. There’s some blood on the wall and the patio. I’ll clean it up for you later but I thought given tonight’s events you might want to stay inside.”

She smiled at his thoughtfulness. “Thank you. I’m sorry the both of you got involved in this.”

“We’re fine, Mikaela. Mia and I are just fine. Judging by the sounds coming from upstairs, I’d say you and Dom are ok too.”

“We’re both doing great.” She was blushing fiercely. A couple of days ago, she had no human contact whatsoever. Now her house was full of friends and they overheard her having sex with a new lover.

“Leon, stop embarrassing her! You sing beautifully.”

“Thanks, Mia.”

“Would you sing for us, Mick?”

Dom had just walked into the kitchen with their plates and heard Leon use ‘his’ name for her. Just when he was about to comment on it, his mate beat him to it. “I would be happy to sing for all of you but do me a favor and call me Micki or Mikaela. Only Dom can call me Mick, ok?”

“Sure. No problem. I like Micki.”

“We’ll eat and if something good comes on the player then I’ll sing.” She could feel Dom’s presence behind her and turned towards the entry of the kitchen after she started to address him. “Hey big guy, are you gonna feed me or what?”

Dom walked in and sat beside her. “Yeah, baby. Here ya go.”

“How did you do that?” Mia asked.

“What?”

“How did you know he was behind you? We couldn’t even see him.”

“I could feel him.” The look that Dom and Micki gave everyone said that the topic was closed. “Dominic.”

“Yes, love.”

“I need to ask a favor. Will you open that box and pull out the card from under the contents.” He opened the box that had another pair of those musical balls and pulled out the card. He started to hand it to her but she stopped him with a raised hand. “My favor…is I want you to call that guy and tell him I need him to come over tomorrow and then I need you to leave the 2 of us alone for about 2 hours.”

He had a curious, uncertain look in his eyes. “What is this about, Mick?”

“I’m going to tell you upfront, he will have to touch me but it’s not inappropriate. It’s a surprise, I need you to trust me and make the call if I have your approval.”

“I trust you. I’ll make the call when we’re done eating.”

“Thank you, baby.”

They ate the rest of their meal and sat around making conversation and telling jokes. Dom made the promised call and rejoined them. Then a song came on that struck Mikaela’s interest. “Okay you guys. This is a good one to sing but dancing is mandatory with this song. So get your asses up and shake em.”

Man it’s a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear your whisper and
The words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Munequita,
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You’re my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life
Ain’t good enough
I’d give my world to lift you up
I’d change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you’re so smooth

And it’s just like the ocean
Under the moon
It’s the same as the emotion
That I get from you
You got the kind of lovin
That could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it

They all danced and grooved against each other to the sexy beat of the song. Mia and Leon joined in singing the chorus. Dom held Mikaela’s waist while she rubbed her ass seductively against his groin.

I’ll tell you one thing
If you would leave
It’d be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world
So soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you said this life
Ain’t good enough
I’d give my world to lift you up
I’d change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you’re so smooth

And it’s just like the ocean
Under the moon
It’s the same as the emotion
That I get from you
You got the kind of lovin
That could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it

“That was a blast, Mikaela.” Mia said as she hugged onto Brian. “You are really good. Have you done this before? Professionally, I mean.”

Mikaela had her back against Dom’s chest, their fingers laced at her waist, and she was lacking sufficient oxygen to answer right away. “No.” She drew in a deep breath. “Not professionally. I sang in a band when I was in high school. Shit.” She bent forward slightly and Dom drew her back.

“Mick, are you ok?”

“Yeah, baby. I think I’m done.” She slumped against him exhausted.

“And on that note, I think we should say goodnight.” Leon took her exhaustion as a cue to herd the others next door.

Mia walked up to them, gave Mikaela a light hug and kissed her brother on the cheek. “Goodnight you two. We’ll see you in the morning for breakfast.”

Leon gave Dom a hug and kissed Mikaela on her bandaged cheek. “See you in the morning.”

Brian gave Dom a handshake and kissed Mikaela’s hand. “Goodnight and thank you.”

They turned to the front door and Mikaela gave Dom a light elbow to his side. “Brian.”

“Yeah Dom?”

Dom walked over to him, stared him in the eyes, and pulled him into a hug. “Thank you. You helped me save my world.” He glanced at Mikaela.

Brian smiled at Mikaela and turned back to Dom. “That’s a good world to live in. You’re welcome. Night man.”

“Night.”

He closed the door behind them and turned to her. “You ready for some sleep, baby?”

She was yawning and nodding her head. “Definitely. I’m beyond sleepy. Carry me?” She held out her arms to him and he moved to her.

“Come on, Mick. You’ve had a long couple of days and it’s time for us to hibernate for awhile.” He picked her up and took her to their bedroom. He placed her on her feet and lifted her dress over her head. “Get in bed.”

“Yes sir.” She snuggled under the blankets while he stripped off his shirt and shorts. He joined her under the covers, drew her into his body, and wrapped her in his arms. “You know, I hardly ever slept before I met you. I almost forgot what a good night’s sleep felt like.”

“Me too baby. Good night.” He kissed her on her forehead

She kissed him on his chest. “Night, love.”
