Chapter 73

Cheyenne woke up alone. Her body was pulsing from the pain, and she winched when she tried to sit up. Just then the door opened and Violet walked in with a beaming smile.

“Good morning honey, Jon asked me to bring you some breakfast and to remind you that you have an appointment with the doctor in two hours time. Did you sleep well?”

Violet was like a mother hen clucking around her. She was so sweet and she knew she would grow very fond of her. She helped Cheyenne to sit up properly so she could have her breakfast in bed, she passed her pills and Cheyenne took it gladly. She didn’t feel hungry but after the first bite she couldn’t put the fork down and the fresh coffee teased her nose. She was so into the breakfast that she didn’t realise someone was watching her from the doorway, and when he finally spoke she nearly dropped her fork.

“It is good to see you eat, baby.”

His eyes were an aqua blue and she could see the colour even from where she sat.

I could drown in those baby blues…

He was leaning against the doorframe and his face was totally relaxed. He looked so damn sexy, she could feel heat rushing through her body, and the way he was staring at her didn’t make things easier on her over sensitive senses.

She only managed a smile, her heartbeat sped up the moment he started to walk closer.

He leaned down and she felt his breath fanning her cheeks.

“How bout a good mornin’ kiss?”

“I don’t think so ..what about morning br…”

She lost all thought as he took her mouth. She closed her eyes and marvelled at his insanely soft lips and the way his tongue thrust inside her mouth. A soft moan escaped from her and Jon’s eyes flew open.

“Ohhh, baby you know you shouldn’t do that! I’m just a man and I can handle only that much. I go insane if I hear you moaning like that…Oh God…I better back of…right….now”

Her hand clutched the front of his shirt, and she let him go slowly…the heat inside her burning her soul.

He sat down beside her and kept her company until she finished her meal. She stood up to get ready, while Jon just sat there looking at her like she was his next meal.

“Uuum Jon I would like to get dressed now if you don’t mind?”

He flashed her a heart stopping grin but didn’t move an inch.

“I don’t mind and nobody’s stopping you baby, you just go right ahead.”

“But you are sitting there, staring at me like a cat would just before he pounces on a mouse. I can’t get dressed!”

“Do you want me to help you? …I’m good at undressing… and speaking of pouncing...”

“Oh you…oh Jon go away…JON!”

She giggled and tried to get away from him when he came closer, but he was just to fast. Her giggling turned into coughing and she doubled over from the aching in her ribs…

“Oh, God honey I’m sorry. Sometimes I just don’t think!”

He put his hands on her ribs to try and steady her, a worried look on his handsome face.

“I’ll be fine, and don’t apologise! I like to see you like that! I haven’t seen you smile in days…I like it when you smile.”

She stroked his cheek and look into is eyes.

His eyes softened and he brushed her lips with his, and there it was again, the smile that makes woman swoon all over the world. It felt like her heart stopped at that moment and her breath caught in her throat. He was so sexy it was pure sin!

Jon wasn’t sure, but for a moment he saw love shining in Cheyenne’s eyes. Maybe he just wanted to see it, but it gave him hope nonetheless.

Cheyenne chose an outfit and Jon helped her out of her nighties and into her clothes. He adored her beautiful body, but the bruises and scratches made his stomach turn. He couldn’t believe a woman could take such a beating and still be on her feet in a matter of days! She was a remarkable lady, that’s for sure…

The trip to the hospital didn’t take long, but Cheyenne was so nervous about the appointment. She didn’t want to go to hospital and hoped everything was ok.

Jon waited outside when they called her, and for some strange reason she hoped he would go with her.

“Good morning Miss. Roberts how do you feel today? I see there is a bit of colour in your cheeks and that’s a good sign! Please get undressed and wait for me on the bed. I’ll be with you in a minute.”

Cheyenne lay on the bed, her nerves playing havoc with her. She didn’t look forward to the groping but she knew it was necessary. The doctor chatted to her and treated her very gentle.

He checked her ribs again and decided to wrap her up to try and give her some support, her wrist were swollen but nothing out of the ordinary, then he moved downwards and Cheyenne held her breath..

“Well, you are one lucky lady. The stitches are in place but the fall put some strain on them and that caused the bleeding to worsen. But I see no need to keep you in hospital. As far as I can see you have a lot of people to take care of you. So I think you’ll be just fine. Just abstain from sex for six weeks. I would like to see you then.”

“Doctor please tell me, what it the chance that I would be able to have kids?”

‘It is too early to tell, your uterus is very badly swollen. So it won’t be possible to determine the full extent of the damage. As soon as the swelling is down and the stitches dissolved we would be able to tell you more. ”

Her heart was in her shoes but she gave the doctor her best smile.

“Well, I guess I see you in six weeks then.”

“Here is a prescription for some antibiotics, just to make sure infection doesn’t settle in. Miss. Roberts you look after yourself and I’ll see you soon.”

Jon stood up the moment the door opened. Cheyenne looked quite uncomfortable and his heart ached for her.

He took her by the arm and escorted her to the car. When Jon got into the car he turned to face her.

“What did the doctor say, baby?”

“Well, he wrapped my ribs and he said my wrist is swollen but that it is normal.”

She tried to avoid his eyes but he wouldn’t let up.

“And…the bleeding?”

“Uuuum.. yeah the stitches are still in place they took a bit of straining so that is what caused the bleeding to get worse. But I don’t need to go to hospital as long as I behave myself. I just need to fill this prescription.’

They stopped at the pharmacy and Jon jumped out. It didn’t take long and they were back home.
