Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Four

The shower was much more painful than I was hoping because of my arm being out of the sling. I tried to hold it against me as much as I could, which helped, but I was glad I had Adrik to help me. It was so painful I ended up in tears by the end of the shower. I was trying to hold everything in, so I didn’t push any of the pain to him. While I really enjoyed sharing everything else with him, sharing my pain with him didn’t seem fair.

As he was helping me get dressed before putting my arm back in the sling, he had a smirk on his face. “What are you not telling me?” I asked, watching him.

“The more you try to hold everything in, the easier it is for me to feel it. I know you’re trying to avoid pushing your pain on to me, but the more you fight letting it go, the easier it is for me to feel. I know how excruciating that shower was for you just now,” he said. I was still only in a bra and panties. He had my sling in his hand as he stood in front of me. He gently moved my still wet hair from my face and leaned down to press his lips to

mine.

“D*mmit,” I said. “That did not go how I planned.”

He laughed as he started to wrap the sling around my waist. “I did warn you before, you know,” he said, dramatically, mimicking Misha. “It’s not fair that you only share the good parts with me. Now I can hold you to that.” He looked extra proud of himself at being able to get around my weak defense system.

For just a moment, my pain subsided and the warmth that I normally feel when thinking about him spread through my body. He felt it too, looking at me somewhat surprised as he strapped my arm back into the sling. “I didn’t realize how much I would miss that feeling,” he said, as he stepped closer to me. He put both hands gently on either side of my face and leaned down to kiss me. Where he had been extra gentle in the hospital, like he was afraid to hurt me, he let himself go slightly. The kiss started gentle, but he sucked my bottom lip in between his, his teeth grazing my lip. The pain in my body retreated once again and I could feel nothing but him. The warm sensation traveling over my entire body was met with the pull in my chest toward him as he deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth gently. I held onto his arm that was still holding my face like he was worried I would break, moaning softly. It felt amazing to have a pain-free moment.

When he stopped the kiss, I kept my eyes closed. The pain was still gone. I was worried that if I opened my eyes, it would come crashing back. I heard him laugh quietly. “Are you okay, solnishko?”

I finally opened my eyes slowly. “You took all the pain away just now. How did you do that?” I asked quietly.

“It worked?” he asked, surprised.

“Yeah, it’s coming back slowly, but not as fast as I thought it would. What did

you do?”

“I remembered when you were hurt after the ball, you told me that when we had s*x it made your pain go away. I don’t think you’re in any shape for that much right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t think about it,” he said, his devilish grin on his face.

“Devious. I like it. I’ll allow it,” I said, smiling widely at him. He had moved to pick up my leggings and stopped
