Letting Go

Luna Pov

“Okay Mr. Mathews. Please rest and try not to stress your mind. It will be better for your health.” Dylan nodded weakly and the doctor went out while I was just staring at him.

His eyes met mine and a bright shine appeared in his dark orbs flashing his charming smile. He nodded at me motioning me to come closer which I did taking steady steps towards him.

I took a seat on the stool and held his hand. He was surprised a little when I held his hand but soon tighten his grip on my hand pulling it towards his lips and placing a soft kiss on it.

I shivered a little feeling his warm lips on my cold hand.

“I missed you too. Princess.” My eyes slightly widened at his words. I remembered telling him that I miss him when he was unconscious then how. He smiled at my stunned face.

“Those were the first words I heard when I woke up. And you know.” He pulled me a little closer

“Those words were the most sweetest medicine for me. I felt so energetic after having it.

I never felt this flustered hearing someones cheesy words. My heart was beating so fast that I was afraid for him to hear it. I cleared my throat and stood up from my seat. My hand was still in his hold.

“You should take rest. Let me bring something for you to eat.” He didn’t say anything just stared at me not even releasing my hand.

“Dylan uhm. My hand. ” He looked at our interwined hands and to my surprise instead of letting go he jerked me towards him. I looked at him with wide eyes. His face was only inches away from mine.

“D-Dyla---” He hushed me placing his index finger on my lips. He removed his finger wrapping his bandaged hand behind my neck and pulled my face closer to his resulting my breath hitched at our closeness.

He leaned his face and brushed his lips on my cheek making my whole body shuddered at his touch. I don’t want to admit but I indeed liked it. I immediately shut my eyes off when I felt his lips on the side of my lips.

He kissed the bruise on the side of my lips. I felt goosebumps all over my body when his lips trailed to my nose leaving a wet kiss on the tip of it.

Unintentionally I crumbled his hospital oversized shirt feeling a pool of burning sensation took over my body. His hand which was holding my wrist wrapped around my waist and pulled me even closer removing the whole distance between us.

I squeezed my eyes feeling his lips on my swollen cheeks. I slightly hissed when he applied more force on his kiss. His lips dug in my cheek. He was kissing all over my cheek placing numerous kisses on it.

I sucked on my breath when I felt his breathing on my lips. He leaned to the extent that his lips were almost touching mine.

“Open your eyes love.” I wanted to open them. But the fear to find him so close didn’t let me.

His hand slide down from my neck reaching for my cheek caressing it softly. I felt him leaning more making his lips to slightly touch mine.

“Open them princess.” This time he whispered in a soft soothing tone forcing my body to shivered at his husky voice.

I slowly opened my eyes meeting his dark orbs. I immediately shuddered at our dangerously close bodies. I wanted to push him and wanted to run away but the authority his dark orbs held just froze my body.

“I am sorry.” I frowned at his words in confusion. His eyes held pain.

“I was late. He hurt you and I-I am so sorry princess.” He said cupping my cheeks lovingly. His expressions held shame. He was ashamed that he couldn’t help me. But the truth is he did. He helped me. If he wouldn’t save Gabriel then I would never be able to forgive myself.

I gently pulled away from him and he also removed his arms releasing me. I cleared my throat and pulled a duvet on him.

“Rest. I will bring something to eat.” Without hearing his reply. I immediately went out to grab something for him to eat.

“Ms. Michael.” I turned around and frowned to see the doctor calling me. I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to speak.

“I am sorry Ms. Michael. I didn’t want to disturb you but I have something to inform you. Will you like to spare me your few minutes..” After some seconds I gave him a curt nod following him in his office.

“Doctor is everything alright. I mean is something happening to Dylan.” I questioned him with a hint of terror in my voice. I was afraid to hear that something really happened to Dylan. My heart was thumping in my chest ready to hear something bad but soon felt a sense of relief when he gave me an assuring smile.

“Relax Ms. Michael. Mr. Mathews is perfectly fine. I just want to instruct you about some precautions.” I nodded at him motioning him to continue.

“Well nothing serious but you have to be really careful about his mental situation. No stress. No tension. No pressure on his mind. The injury he has on his head is too serious and severe. So try to not pressurize his mind.

Indeed I was stunned to hear how bad his injury is. But I only have to do things which can ease and relax his mind. I sighed before grabbing a porridge from the cafeteria and again made my way towards Dylan’s room.

He was eating but without realizing I kept on staring at him. I stared at his pale face which has multiple bruises. His head was covered with a bandage. His one arm was also covered with a bandage and have two IVs attached to it. From the other hand, he was eating.

I was astounded when the realization hit me that he was grabbing my waist from that bandaged hand. How could he endure so much pain just to have me closer to him.

“I know I am looking really ravishing but you don’t have to eye fuck me.” I looked at him in disbelief hearing his displeased statement.

“Just say and I will be on your service princess. ” I shook my head and looked at the porridge bowl. It was empty.

I took the bowl and dumped it in the dustbin. I helped him to lay down on the bed and was about to walk away but he stopped me.

“Please stay. ” He begged creating some space for me on the hospital bed beside him.

“Dylan I ---” He halted my sentence.

“I know your married and all. But I promise. I wouldn’t touch you. I just want to hold you. Please.” I stared at him for some seconds before remembering doctors words.

“Try not to pressurize him. No tension. No stress.

I slowly grabbed the hem of the duvet and taking a deep breath I laid beside him covering myself with the blanket. He was frozen. Astonishment was evident on his face. I gulped before turning away from him back facing him.

After a while, I felt him coming back to earth and laying down in a comfortable position. I felt his chest pressed against my back. The space was incredibly small on the bed for two people.

But still, I tried my best to acquire only a small space trying to give this muscular pig as much room as I can. But soon my body stiffen when his bulky arm wrapped around my waist pressing my back more to his chest.

I flinched when his bangs touched my shoulder indicating that he has suppressed his face in my crook. I fought with my own breaths.

“I love you princess. Good night.” He whispered kissing the back of my head. I felt my heart beating wildly in my chest hearing the sincerity in his tone.

Soon I felt his breathing becoming soft and slow. His arms were still on my waist and face was buried in my neck. I tried to break free from his grip but soon gave up realizing that he had no intention of leaving me.

I closed my eyes and let the sleep take over me. How much I hate to let myself be so comfortable in his embrace. But I know soon this embrace will not be here for my comfort. I let my mind relax in his embrace even though just for some time. Let it be like this.

Next morning.

Luna deliberately opened her eyes witnessing an angelic face in front of her sleeping peacefully. His arm was still on her waist and face was only inches away from hers.

Without realizing she kept on staring at him sleeping so peacefully. But soon her head snapped to the front when she sensed someone’s presence in the room. Her eyes widened discovering the devil leaning on the wall observing her blankly.

Luna carefully freed herself from Dylan’s embrace. Hunter didn’t say anything only gestured her to follow him which she did after straightening herself.

They both reached in an empty room. Hunter’s back was facing her. Indeed she was scared of what he will do. She knew he must be angry at her remembering his possessiveness.

She flinched when he turned around earning a sigh from him. He was frustrated and disheartened witnessing a clear fear in her beautiful orbs.

He clenched the folder in his hand and taking a deep breath. He extended his hand handing her the folder. She looked at it in confusion but still took it.

“Open it.” He ordered her still keeping his dominating husky tone. She gulped fearing for what coming for her.

She opened the folder with her trembling hands and was stunned after reading the title of the papers. She looked at Hunter in tremor. “This. What is ---”

Yes doll. Divorce papers. Just like you wanted. I am letting you go.

The same embrace which once suffocated her now becomes a source of her comfort.
