Chapter 27: Stitched Together
Chapter 27: Stitched Together
-Blake-
We did it.
I had been helped into a medical room after watching Dominic's victory. Watching her on that stage
once again was an amazing feeling. To see her triumph, to see her finally defeat the nightmare that's
been haunting her. I already admired her and respected her but this made those feelings a thousand
times stronger.
While I was up there during the face-offs, I knew that winning the finale was going to be almost
impossible once I was at my limit during the quarter and semi-finals but I couldn't go down without a
fight. Not after everything Xavier and Dominic had done for me. So, I set the stage up as best as I
possibly could, forced 'King' to use the weapons that Dominic warned me about. It hurt like a mother
fucker when he stabbed me in the leg and I wanted to conduct what I had planned then but he was
fast, as fast as Dominic even which was a feat I didn't think anyone could imitate. When he stabbed my
back though, I knew that I had to take that opportunity because the next one would kill me. So I took it.
I made sure the whole hall saw his device, saw the knife, saw that he cheated. And it worked.
Not only was I declared the winner of the tournament, but I also gave Dominic the opportunity she
needed to officially beat him the way she should have all those years back and she did. Her moves
were threatening, demonic, but that's what made them so attractive to me. She didn't show mercy nor
weakness despite so many people believing that these years would have worn her out. Instead, she
showed the world tonight that she was still the Queen and will always continue to be the Queen.
Tonight though, I was hoping to make that Queen officially mine.
I talked about it with Xavier first. It was less about getting his permission but a formal blessing. I didn't
think he would be the first person I'd go to but after training with him, I started seeing him as my
guardian too. I got close to him and look up to him greatly, even if he was a prick sometimes.
After that, I talked to both Arthur and Nick, they were harder to convince, being overprotective and all
especially with what happened only recently. But I thought it was because we went through something
like that and was able to come out of the other side okay that I had to do this. She was the one and the
only one.
The nervousness started to rise in my stomach, in my chest. I wanted to ask her this before but I've
backed out. Now was the perfect opportunity and I couldn't mess it up. I looked down into my hand
where the ring lay, Xavier had been looking after it for me until now. It didn't even have a box, I was so
unprofessional but I hoped it was enough.
My attention was quickly diverted to the door when Dominic rushed in. She saw me and gave a sigh of
relief before flashing a grin at me which I couldn't help but copy. "You did it!" I exclaimed, arms wide to
signal in for a hug which she engulfed me in. We were both covered in blood and sweat but the
moment, the hug, meant the world.
I turned to hug her tighter but unintentionally let out a groan in pain at my wound which still needed
stitching. Dominic pulled away immediately, apologising but I shook my head. "The thing about the
training Xavier gave you was that he didn't teach you some of the most important elements to
becoming a street fighter. One of which being recovery. I'll stitch your wound for you." She tells me but
before she gets the chance to,
"Wait," I tell her which makes her look at me in slight confusion.
My breath hitches in my throat again, the back of my neck sweating but my hands freeze. What if her
answer is negative? What if this ruins everything? Fuck!
"What's wrong?" When I look at her eyes which seem concerned for me, it's then that I'm reminded:
she loves me. She loves me just as much as I love her. And that made me relax and smile back at her.
I showed her the ring that was in my hand and a small gasp escaped her lips.
"Will you marry me?"
I notice her hands tremble, something I had never seen and her mouth showing neither happiness nor
sadness, instead it was just wavering until-
"Yes! Of course!"
Her answer almost brought tears into my eyes and the passion I felt through her lips when she came in
for a kiss sent me on overdrive. She was going to pull away slightly which I let her, only so I could put
the ring on her finger before I pulled her in for a kiss again, ignoring any pain I felt as they were
insignificant now. All I wanted to feel was her warm lips on mine.
There was a lot of love that I could feel between us, something I knew would continue to be a part of us
for the longest time. This was no longer just feeling, it was a choice, a decision that I knew I'd never
regret. Because I chose her and she chose me.
"You're going to bleed out." She says in between our kiss but,
"I don't care," I reply which makes her chuckle yet pull away.
Her grin was contagious, gleaming so bright at me. "I can't really have my soon to be husband bleed
out before we get married." She says, running her finger through my messy hair before going and
getting the medical equipment. I loved hearing the word come out of her mouth. I couldn't wait to be her
husband, already missing her heat but it wasn't for long.
After she got her supplies and got ready, she quickly treated my leg first which wasn't as deep of a cut
so it was done quickly, bandaged up. As soon as she did, I pulled her on top of my lap, having her
straddle towards me. When she looked back at me I gave her a mischievous smirk to which shook her
head as she chuckled and began working from over my shoulder.
Having her work on my shoulder blade with such intense care was heartwarming but everything else
about the situation gave me another type of feeling. Her body was pressed against mine tightly so she
could do her best in this uncomfortable position I put her in but that meant her chest was up against
mine. Her hip constantly shifting and moving against my own, I couldn't help but get excited.
My hands which were holding her upper body came down at her sides before each hand took a hold of
her thighs and pulled her waist even closer to me if possible, pushing her entrance against me which I
knew she could feel. I was getting hard and I knew she could feel it, I wanted her to feel the effect she
had on me.
Suddenly I feel her lips against my ear which makes me freeze slightly, hairs standing up at the
command of her breath. "Teasing me again Blake?"
I smirk before laying a couple of hungry kisses on her neck, "I haven't even begun my love," I whisper
to her before bringing my hand closer to her entrance, running my fingers around over her clothes. This
made her react by coming up a second before pushing down even more on me which made me have
to hold in a breath. Our clothes were heavily restricting us, heating us up quickly and we both knew it. I
was getting hard and her presence on top of me what only making me crave for her more.
I move to loosen my waist to help me out, as I do I keep kissing and sucking on her neck which she
angles to give me more room, telling me she likes it. "The stitches are done," She breaths just as I'm
able to undo my tracksuit bottoms.
"Then it's time for the fun to begin."
