Where I Belong

Hours we lay in silence just being in each others arms. Nothing needed to be said, he was here and he was awake that's all that mattered.

"I was scared" I whispered the hand he was stroking my hair with stopped. "I thought I was going to lose you".

"I know baby" Kissing the top of my head he squeezed me tighter against him. "But you didn't I'm here and I'm not going anywhere".

"I struggled so much without you Blaze. I honestly never thought I'd feel that way but when that night happened I thought you were dead". I knew I was already crying, every time I thought about that night I cried. "I never realised how much I love you, how much I am in love with you until I thought I had lost you".

"Baby please don't cry"....

"I don't mean too" I cried sitting up so I could wipe my eyes. "I missed you so much".

"I missed you too darlin' now come here I want to hold you".

Was he really awake? I was afraid to open my eyes in case it was all a dream. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, his arm around my waist resting against my stomach yet I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes. If this was a dream I didn't want to wake up I didn't want it to end.

Laying my hand on top of his I squeezed gently hoping he'd squeeze back.....

Nothing.....

Feeling my stomach drop I gently moved his arm from around my waist and sat up. Swallowing the lump in my throat I turned to look at him being met with a cocky smirk..... Thank god...

"Morning baby"

"Hi" I grinned moving closer so I could kiss him. Placing my lips against his I squealed when he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.

"Blaze be careful incase you hurt yourself" I scalded causing him to slap my bum and pull me in for another kiss.

"I'll never get used to how good that feels" He grinned moving the loose strands of hair out my face.

"I'm serious be careful please" I didn't want him doing anything that could cause him to get hurt. He was acting as if nothing had happened. "Unfucking-touchable" he grinned just as the door opened.

"I've got coffee and a donut and you're bloody eating it so I don't get my ass...."

"You looking after my girl Jared?"Blaze asked cutting him off and almost making him snap his neck with how fast he looked at us.

Grinning at him I watched as he looked from myself to Blaze and then back again. "Thank fuck you're awake. She's a nightmare" He huffed handing me my coffee and donut before taking a seat. I'm a nightmare?! Rude!!

Sticking my tongue out at him I took a sip of my coffee. My relationship with Jared had grew so much over the last few months. He was like my brother.

"Tell me about it" Blaze smirked

"Hey!" I protested causing them both to laugh.

"Good to see you're awake brother" After a manly hug and a handshake it felt like there was an elephant in the room. Maybe that was my queue to leave and let them chat?! "I'm going to go for a shower and let you two speak I won't-...."

"Ava...."

"No it's okay" I smiled leaning over and kissing his cheek. I knew they needed to talk and I knew it was better if I didn't hear some of it. "I won't be long".

"Better not be" He smirked causing me to roll my eyes.

"Thanks for the donut Jared" Grinning I took a massive bite before leaving them to it.

Not looking where I was going I bumped into what felt like a brick wall, spilling my coffee and dropping my donut in the process.

Really?!

"Shit sorry darling".

Cranking my neck up so I could see who it was my eyebrows furrowed, who was he? The cut he was wearing told me he was something to do with the club but I had never seen him before.

"Is your old man here darlin?" My old man?! My dad? Why couldn't I seem to talk to this mountain of a man? Where the hell was my voice? All I could do was stare at the Adonis in front of me. Squeezing my legs together as best I could I felt the slight blush take over my cheeks.

"It's alright darlin' I have that effect on most women" Winking at me he side stepped by me....

Prick....

"Who are you?" I asked finally finding my voice.

"The names Duke sweetheart".....

"Ava" I shouted as he continued walking only stopping when my name left my lips.

"I know who you are darlin' my cousin is one lucky son of a bitch".

Cousin?

"My dads not here yet" I shouted but he had already turned the corner, I could only assume he was heading to Blazes room.

Closing the door to the bathroom I leaned against it. What the hell just happened? Why did I struggle to speak to him? Yes I was allowed to find a man attractive but never had I had any issues speaking to one. Hm Duke!!

What the fuck was happening?! Shaking off the disgust I felt at even thinking about the way he made a tingle shoot straight towards my sex I turned on the shower and stripped out of my clothes.
