Intrigue at Haven's Crossing (13 page)

“She did well, Mr. Lawson. There were no complications. She’s in recovery right now and in stable condition, but she’s still unconscious.”

“How long will she be unconscious?” Blake asked.

“It’s hard to say, sir. It just varies by the individual and the situation. I assure you though, she is being well taken care of and as soon as she is back in her room, you can go see her.”

“Thank you, Doctor,” Blake said, shaking his hand.

After they were allowed to see Myka, Logan made Kim go back home with him so she could get some rest herself. Caleb stayed with Blake, and she made them both promise they’d call if there were any changes.

The next morning, Logan and Kim stopped and got breakfast for themselves and Caleb and Blake. When they got to the waiting room, Caleb was there alone. They had allowed Blake to go see Myka again, but there were still no changes. Logan told Caleb to go home and rest, but Blake wouldn’t leave. Logan finally talked him into getting a room at the hotel across the street, so he’d still be close by.

Kim and Logan sat there patiently waiting for some news. She used the spare time to call the other girls and let them know what had happened. They all said to keep them informed, and Sheila was actually going to try and get down there to see her. Kim knew Myka would be very happy about that and couldn’t wait to tell her.

Kim sat back down beside Logan and looked up at him. “Are you still mad at me?”

“No, darlin’, I’m not mad. You know I love you, right?”

“Yeah, I know. I love you, too.”

“I’m sorry this happened, sweetheart. We know she means a lot to you.”

“Thank you, Logan. I just want her to be okay,” she said, breaking down again and crying into his chest.

“She’ll be just fine, baby. She’s a fighter like you.”

“I–I know.”

A few moments later, the doctor came out. “Ms. Wade?”

“Yes, how is she?”

“Well, she’s still stable, and she woke up for a few minutes, which is a really good sign.”

“I’m going to call her husband. He went to get some rest, but it’s only across the street, so he can be here in five minutes. Can we go see her?”

“Yes. She may even wake up. I don’t know. She’s been through a lot though, so don’t get discouraged if she doesn’t.”

“Thank you, Doctor.”

“Not a problem. You two try to have a good day and get some rest yourselves.”

Once the doctor left, Kim called Caleb and Logan called Blake. Blake was there in less than five minutes, and then he and Kim went back to see her. Kim held her hand and asked Myka if she could hear her. When Myka gently squeezed her fingers in response, Kim couldn’t contain her excitement.

Blake immediately began to talk to her, telling her how much he loved her and kissed her on the cheek. She squeezed his hand as well, but couldn’t seem to open her eyes.

“We’re gonna let you rest now, sweetheart, but we’re right outside. There will always be one of us out there, okay? You just work on getting better.”

With that, the two walked back to the waiting room and told Logan the good news. Blake asked Kim if she’d mind staying while Logan took him back to get his truck. “Of course not, Blake. You two go. I’ll be just fine.”

“Thank you, honey.”

“You don’t have to thank me—now go.”

For the remainder of the day all four of them just hung out together, going to see Myka when they’d allow them to. Once it started to get dark, Caleb told Kim he was taking her back home for the night. “But, Caleb, she’s so close to waking up. I wanna stay.”

“You’ve been here all day, sugar. If anything changes, Logan will call, and I’ll bring you back. Now, get your purse and tell ’em bye.”

“Fine,” she mumbled in defeat.

The next morning, she and Caleb arrived early so they could relieve Logan and Blake. The two men decided to try and get some sleep across the street and left Caleb and Kim to do their shift. Around noon, Logan and Blake came back, bringing them all something to eat. About an hour later, the nurse came out to tell them Myka was now awake and asking for them.

Blake and Kim went back and there Myka was sitting up just a little and taking a sip of water. The nurse left them alone so they could be with her.

“Oh, baby. I’m so glad you’re awake. Are you feeling okay?” Blake asked, kissing her cheek. She nodded her head and then looked at Kim, a little confused.

“Myka, do you remember what happened?” Myka nodded her head slowly as she was trying to think, and then she quickly jerked her head back to Blake. Kim immediately intervened because she knew Myka would listen to her before hearing what Blake had to say. Kim gently pushed Blake out of the way and sat on the side of the bed, holding Myka’s hand. “Myka, you know who I am, right?”

“Yes,” she answered hoarsely.

“I want you to listen carefully to me, okay?” Myka nodded again and looked like she was trying to concentrate.

“You know I would never lie to you, right? And I promise that every word I’m telling you is true. Myka, what you remember about Blake and Miranda is not true, sweetie. It was all a lie. We were wrong. Blake loves you, not Miranda, so you don’t need to be mad at him because he didn’t do anything wrong. Miranda was the one who was lying, not Blake. Do you understand what I’m telling you? You believe me, right?”

“Yes, I believe you,” she said as a tear ran down her face. “Blake?”

Kim moved so Blake could take her place next to Myka.

“Oh, baby. I’m so sorry. I just want you to get better, okay. I need to take you home so I can take care of you there. I love you, Myka Lambert, and I really need you to get better.”

“I–I’m sorry I ran away, Blake. I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

“I will always want you, sweetheart. Don’t you ever forget that. You need to try and get some rest though, right now.”

“I love you, Blake,” she whispered as she started to drift off asleep again.

As Blake and Kim started to walk out, Blake pulled her back by her arm and hugged her tightly. “Thank you for that, Kim. I don’t think she would’ve believed me, and she just would’ve gotten upset.”

“You are absolutely correct, Blake, so I’m glad I was there. Now maybe she can rest easy and not worry. C’mon, let’s go tell the guys.”

The dark cloud was now gone, and the four were now able to laugh and lighten the mood a little. Myka was being moved to a private room later in the day, so now they could sit in there with her all the time, which put their minds at ease.

Myka was released from the hospital later on in the week. Blake took her home and got her settled, making sure she had everything she could possibly need. Myka was happy to be back home with Blake. Blake had explained everything that had happened with Miranda, and she no longer had any doubts.

Blake was more than just attentive. He spent all his time with her and made sure she wanted for nothing. It took about another week before she could get around on her own, and she was glad that she was getting a little more self-sufficient. Being in the house all the time was driving her crazy, so she was thrilled when Blake suggested she go visit with Kim while he went and did some work at the club.

When Myka walked outside, she saw a car in the driveway beside Blake’s truck. It looked brand-new. It was a blue Subaru Impreza. “Whose car?” Myka asked.

“That would be yours, sweetheart.”

“Mine? What about my Camaro?”

“You don’t have a Camaro anymore, Myka. Now get in the truck.”

“But I want my Camaro, Blake,” she said with a pout.

“I’m sure you do, princess, but you’re not driving a Camaro anymore. The Impreza is very safe, and it’s really nice inside. You’ll like it just fine once you get to drive it.”

Myka crossed her arms over her chest and didn’t say anything.

“Pouting or crying isn’t going to change my mind, baby. I saw the police report. It said you were going over a hundred miles per hour. I believe I warned you about speeding, did I not?”

“You said if I got three tickets!”

Blake’s voice became much louder, which grabbed her attention immediately. “
You
were in a fucking wreck because you were driving so fast, so I don’t give a damn what I told you—you no longer have a Camaro, and
that
is the end of it. Am I clear?”

Myka sat there staring straight ahead.

“I asked you a question, and I expect an answer.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Good. Now let’s get you over to Kim’s.”

They drove in silence all the way to the ranch. Once they arrived, Blake helped her out of the truck and walked her up to the porch. He then turned her around so she was facing him. “When I get back, I expect a changed attitude.” He then pulled her forward and kissed her hard, causing her to breathe heavily. He then walked off, leaving her standing there and thinking to herself how much she missed his touch. He had not touched her at all since she returned from the hospital, afraid he would hurt her, but she hoped that tonight, he would give her the attention she so desperately craved.

Myka spent several hours at Kim’s, and the men cooked them steaks for supper. When Blake arrived later in the evening, Myka was tired and ready to go home. Once they got into the truck, Myka laid her head on his shoulder, his hand resting on her knee.

“I see you’ve gotten over your little mad spell.”

“Yes, Sir,” she replied, hoping he would hear the desire in her voice.

“I missed you, Myka.”

“I missed you, too, Blake.”

“Did you have a good time?”

“Yeah, I always have a good time with Kim.”

“I heard your friend, Sheila, is coming to see you.”

“I know. I’m really excited. She won’t be here until the weekend, though, ’cause she couldn’t get away. Do you think we could introduce her to Adriano?”

“Boy, you don’t waste any time, do ya?”

“He would really like her, Blake. I know he would. Maybe he could use her at the gym and we could get her to move down here, too. We’ll all just be one big happy family.”

“Yeah, well I’m not so sure Caleb, Logan, or myself can handle another one of your friends around here. I have a feeling you girls could get into a lot of trouble.”

“Blake, you know that’s not true. Not, a
lot
anyway,” she said, laughing.

“Uh-huh,” he said doubtfully.

Once they got back to the house, Myka went into the bedroom to get ready for bed, while Blake was locking up. She had deliberately worn nothing and was in the bed, under the covers, before he even got in there. She watched him as he undressed then turned out the light and got into bed beside her. When he reached for her, he felt her naked body, but was silent for a few moments, before finally speaking. “Uh, princess?” he asked.

“Yes, Sir?” she answered with innocence.

“Are you trying to tell me something?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Well, I have to admit—I like what you’re saying.”

“You do?” she asked, softly touching his now-stiff cock.

“Oh, Myka,” he said, breathing heavily.

“Yes, Sir?” she asked, now stroking him gently.

“Myka, you’re still not completely well—yet,” he said in between sharp breaths. “I’ll touch you, but you can’t have my cock tonight…”

“But, I
want
your cock—Sir.”

“Dammit, Myka. I do love you touching me, but, baby, you gotta quit.” Blake was trying to hold his composure but was losing ground quickly.

“But I don’t want to quit touching your big, hard cock. Sir.” She then threw back the covers and began to scoot herself down so that her mouth was directly over his swollen member. She took her tongue and touched the head gently before taking it in her mouth. Blake sucked in a sharp breath, and she looked up at him through her lashes and smiled. “Sir. I’ve been a very good girl. Can I please suck your cock?”

“Oh, God.”

“Is that a ‘yes,’ Sir?” she asked, taking him all the way in her mouth and going up and down on him once and then stopping for his answer.

“Yes, dammit,” he said quickly.

Myka immediately began to suck his cock, taking him in as far as she could go. She sucked harder with each moan she heard from Blake. She then licked his shaft from one end to the other, taking his balls into her mouth as well and massaging them with her tongue. Blake grabbed the headboard and closed his eyes. Myka was pleased with herself, and it made her want to suck harder just to see if she could get more reaction from him.

She could tell he was close, and when his body tensed, he tried to push her away and tell her to stop, but she wouldn’t let him. She knew he couldn’t hold back, so she continued to suck harder and harder until she felt the warm substance shooting down the back of her throat. She swallowed and continued to suck slowly until he had nothing left. She then released him, licked her lips, and smiled. He was leaned back against the headboard, still unable to move.

“Good God, woman, you were amazing.”
