Breaking Dragon_ Savage Brothers MC(62)
“She’s released? How long? How long have I been here?” I asked, feeling unease move through me.
“A week.”
“A week?” I croak.
“You developed an infection and were in a coma for awhile, but you kept fighting and holding on. That’s all that matters. Jesus Mama, I’m so glad you’ve come back to me.”
I gave him a weak smile, feeling something close to happiness spread through me. He cared.
“Well! I see your fiancé has decided to wake up and join us Mr. West.”
An older nurse said walking into the room. I look over at Dragon and mouth, “Fiance?”
He grins big and that ‘close’ to happiness I felt earlier explodes beyond measure.
“We were beginning to wonder about you young lady.”
“Sorry.” I said tightening my hand around Dragon’s.
“Do you need anything?”
“A bath?” I really wanted one, I felt horribly grungy.
“We can’t do that right now, but we’ll see about getting you cleaned up in a bit. There are some detectives wanting to talk with you? I’m supposed to call them when you are able to talk?”
“She’s just…”
I pulled on Dragon’s hand to stop him from going on.
“Sure, go ahead.”
“I want a doctor checking her out first.”
The nurse looked back at Dragon with a frown, but nodded her head in agreement.
“Mama….,” he started, but I interrupted him.
“It’ll be fine Dragon and the sooner we get rid of them the better. Shit! What happened to the clothes I was wearing?” I say in a panic as I remember more of what had transpired.
“There wasn’t much left of them, the doctors cut them up and the police took it with them for processing.”
“Fuck! Dragon we got to…”
“Calm down Nic, you can’t get upset and besides we had a cleaner get rid of any…”
“Dragon no, there was a SD card in my pocket, it had pictures of you and some man in a tub and the... shit we can’t let the police find it…”
“I got it Mama, Doc found it when he was working on you. Mama we need to talk…”
“Not now. If you want you can tell me later. But not here around so many…”
Dragon looked at me strangely but nodded.
“You’re mine,” he said almost in disbelief.
“And you’re mine,” I said hoping he understood.
He bent down and kissed my lips gently, and then whispers in my ear.
“Forever Mama. Forever.”
I wasn’t sure how it happened, how our mixed up, fast paced relationship somehow transpired into forever, but I fully believed in it. Whatever this was between Dragon and me, it was indeed, forever.
Chapter 27
Dragon
She unmans me. Just when I think I have her figured out, Nicole does something to completely blow me out of the water. Will I ever be prepared for her? I’m starting to think no and I’m okay with that, to a point.
I watched her calmly tell the investigating detectives that she had no memory of what happened. That she was hit from behind and from there it was all blank. The doctors could only confirm that she had been hit and had suffered a concussion and amnesia could occur after a traumatic injury. I just shook my head, but inside. Fuck inside, I felt raw at times. She was completely cemented in me now. She had been before, but now with every day that passes I am completely and irrevocably wrapped up in her.
It wasn’t just me either. My men had completely adopted Nic as one of our own. Maybe it was because she had been hurt by Irish? Maybe it’s the way she took two bullets to save me? Maybe it was the way she put her life on the line to protect me and to cover for the club? I don’t know. Maybe they are just as dazzled by her as I am. I couldn’t explain it, but it just gave me another reason why she is the one.
I smile as I see her in action now. It’s her first night home and the club is partying. Even the Twinkies are on their best behavior. Nicole cemented her place in this club by taking on Tasha.
Tasha is in the corner talking with a couple of the prospects, avoiding my woman at all costs. She has more brains than I gave her credit for.
Nicole is at the bar talking to the new prospect Six. I don’t know the kid that well yet, but he has promise. We hired him in as a bartender to take that fucker Irish’s place.
Crush passes a drink to my woman. She takes it, walks over to me with a sassy grin and I pull her onto my lap.
“What are you drinking baby?” I ask figuring her, Crusher and Six were up to something since they all have shit eating grins on their faces.
“It’s a new drink Six fixed for me.” She says looking back sideways at me and kissing me lightly on the lips. She turns back around and takes another sip of her drink. My fingers comb through her hair, my other hand on her thigh. This is the best I’ve felt in a month. That’s how long my woman has been in the hospital away from me. Three long fucking torturous weeks and finally she’s home in my arms where she belongs.
