Nadine

65. Please

"What happened?"

Dipak pushes the hair out of my eyes. "You passed out princess. Are you ok?"

"Yea I think so." I sit up a bit. "Where are we?"

"My place." He seems a little worried when he says it.

"Oh."

He stands up with me then sits me in the chair he was in. "I'll get you something to drink."

"Frode?"

"Innocent. Thora was hurting herself. He was trying to talk her into getting help. That's why they were arguing." He hands me some water.

"That would be consistent with the injuries. I don't know why I didn't think of it. I thought..."

"That's the way the injuries were presented. Even Dr. Cruor was convinced."

"I've never been in one of these." I glance around the sitting room. "You like to read?"

"I like a good book."

He has so many books on the shelves. "Are they all good?"

"Some better than others. You can search through them."

I read through a few of the titles and pick one up that sounds interesting Then I sit by him on the couch. "Can I borrow this?"

"Of course you can sweetheart."

He puts an arm around me and I snuggle in. "You have a suit of armor."

He looks at me funny. "I also have food. Did you eat dinner at all?"

I think about it for a minute. "No I don't think I did. I'm not really hungry though."

"I'm not going to let you go hungry. You want to cut up some peppers? I'll get us some meat." He pulls me in closer.

I look into his eyes and melt. I can't find words.

He gives me a little smile and holds me tighter. "Let's get some food, or I'm afraid we will sleep all night sitting on the couch."

At this point, I would love that. But I can't say that so I stand up. It would be really nice to be able to speak. Hello mouth are you here?

He puts his arm around me and leads me into the kitchen. We make something to eat without saying anything.

When we're almost done eating he finally speaks. "You're to quiet, sweetheart."

I shrug my shoulders. "I can't find words."

He kisses my hand. "Was it to early for me to bring you here?"

"No, I don't think so. More like the food." I start laughing. "You made me something to eat because I didn't eat earlier." I start to fight tears.

He smiles and picks me up. "I'll always make sure you have something to eat sweetheart. You're not going to go hungry." He carries me back out to the couch.

I lay my head on his shoulder and take my gloves off.

I touch his hand and he turns it over and shows me his palm. I lightly and slowly rub his fingers and palm with my fingertips.

He kisses me on the head after a couple minutes. "I never knew that something that simple could feel that good."

That makes me smile. I'm happy he likes my touch.

"So I did tell you I would take my shirt off for you again. How did you like the show?"

I can't help but laugh. "I liked that show. My brain stopped completely and I forgot how to use hands temporarily but it was worth it. I would definitely watch that show again sir."

He laughs. "Well I was hoping you would say that, until that threat is gone. I will probably need cream every day."

"Well as a doctor I have sworn to help people who need cream put on there back... Or something like that."

"Uh huh. Here, try the other hand."

"I think it would be better for you to use it too."

"Why?"

"To be safe. That stuff hurts. I don't want you to get hurt sweetie. Especially on days when you go outside. You never know where they could be."

I kiss one of his fingertips lightly. He watches me and his eyes go dark for a second. "So are you going to help me put it on?" He has instant pitch black eyes.

I kiss another one of his fingertips.

"Woman." He shakes his head and closes his eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm trying to think about anything other than rubbing cream all over you. It's not going well."

He sits there with his eyes shut. I put my hand on his cheek and lean in. I kiss his lips. A little kiss like he gave me earlier. Barely touching them. Then I lay my head down on his shoulder.

He takes my hand and does the same thing with his fingertips. They are rough but they feel so good against my skin.

"Even your fingers have muscles sir."

He chuckles and kisses one of my fingertips. It sends a shock through my body. It feels so good.

I stare at my fingers. "It."

He smiles at me. "I know." He puts my hand on his chest and relaxes.

"I wish I could stay."

"Me too."

"Do my parents know I'm here?"

"No one does baby." He tightens his grip on me.

"How are the alarms not on?"

"They only lose you when they can see you apparently."

I start laughing. That is so true.

"I should start searching for you when there are no alarms."

I shake my head still laughing. Then I get sad. "I don't want to leave."

"I don't want you to go either."

"You come see me tomorrow for your back cream sir?"

"Of course I will, sweetheart" He tilts my head up and looks in my eyes. "You can come back whenever you want. Even if I'm not here. I don't care. I want you here. Come in here and read or get something to eat. I don't care if you come in and take a nap in the bed. I want you here all the time baby. Or in my office. Don't hesitate to come and see me. I love it when you are around me. I am so happy even if you are only sleeping on my couch. It does something to me and I love it."

"But.." I take a deep breath. "What about"

"No." I'm fighting tears. "You'll never walk in on me with someone else, sweetheart."

I throw my arms around his neck and hold him tight.

"So please walk in anywhere. All the time. Don't even knock."

"What if you're washing?"

He smirks and gives me little kiss. "Then I guess you'll get another show."

I bust out laughing as the alarms go off. "I think I'm missing again and I don't think I should be found here sir. Is there a tunnel to in here? I never checked the royal wing."

"Same as always. Bookshelf baby. Go to the roof. I'll come find you up there."

I kiss him on the lips again. Then run out the bookshelf. I hear my dad yell "DIPAK!" down the advisor hall as I shut the shelf behind me. He's sitting on the couch smirking.

I sneak up to the roof. I'm the only 1 here. I sit on the edge and wait.

Momma runs up about 10 minutes later. "Child we lost you." The alarms shut off.

"Sorry momma I couldn't sleep. I kind of slept all day. I came up here to watch the stars. It's so pretty up here." I hear daddy and Dipak run up behind me. I turn around teary eyed. "I promise I won't leave. I was only watching everything. I love it up here. It's so peaceful. Please don't be mad at me. I heard the alarms but I didn't think they were for me. I'm only on the roof. It's safe here." I let a few tears fall and I wipe them off.

"Oh my princess it's ok. The guards are stupid. You can ask Dipak. He knows they're stupid too."

"They only lose her when she's standing in plain sight sir. We're going to have to do something about this. I've found her on the roof twice and in the backyard once. I really don't know how they are this stupid."

"I don't know. We'll put a bell on her or something. We can talk about it at the meeting tomorrow."

"I'm not wearing a bell daddy." I wipe my eyes again for effect.

"Ok sir. I'll sit with her for a bit."

"Yes thank you. Make sure she makes it bed soon and the guards know she is there."

"Yes sir."

Daddy leaves with mom and Mary comes over from the other direction. "I see nothing. But princess can you give the order to work on a new nurse uniform. The button thing is amazing. It's so easy to get those clothes off."

"Yea write out what you want and I'll sign it tomorrow."

She jumps up and down and runs away.

I lay down and Dipak lays down beside me. "Clothes that come off easy. That could be nice."

"Woman."

"You know for creams and things."

He starts laughing then rolls on top of me, between my legs again. He gives me the deepest kiss I have ever got. There is nothing easy and gentle about it. He wants my mouth. He is owning it. It's his. His chest is pressed against mine. He is so warm. I can feel one of his hands start to move to my chest. He thrusts up against me with his hard d**k and I can't do it. It's to much.

I push his shoulders back. "To much."

He kisses my neck. "Ok baby I'll slow down."

He brings his mouth back to mine and gives me the sweetest deepest kiss. He's being so gentle and soft. It last for so long. He's slowly thrusting against me. "Please."

"Please what sweetheart?" He kisses and nibbles my ear. He keeps thrusting it against me. Over and over. Everything about this feels good.

"I don't know."

I hear him chuckle. "I'll bring you back down baby. Hold my hand. Close your eyes." He moves off of me. I reach for him. I want him close. "No baby. Just breathe." I feel him lay down right beside me. His entire body is against mine. "Keep them closed." He holds my hand. "Take a breath." I take a breath and feel him beside me. I snuggle in. "Let's sleep here a little bit sweetheart. I'm not putting you to bed like this."
