Mr. Winters smiles his gorgeous smile.
"There's that gorgeous smile," Mr. Winters feels his face and looks around his bed, panicking. I chuckle as I grab his mask from the stand and hand it to him.
"I don't know why you wear the mask. Your scars are what makes you beautiful," I cup Mr. Winters's cheek and rub my thumb on his lip where one of his small scars is. I admire the sizes of scars and bruises all over his face, especially the most noticeable one, striking down from his right eyebrow to the bottom of his right eye.
"I wear the mask for protection. For protecting my identity and for protecting my company," I smile.
"I know, darling. That's why I'm not pressuring you to leave it off. You can wear it as much as you want," I kiss his lips, and I hear the door open.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to intrude! I'm just here to give you new sheets. Mr. Loan, it's nice to see you awake. I'm Nurse Patty, I'll be your Nurse and caretaker," I smile at Nurse Patty.
"Welcome back, Nurse Patty. Since, my fiance is awake, when is he able to leave?" Mrs. Patty smiles at me.
"It seems that his vitals are doing fine, so he should be able to leave now," I smile as I watch Nurse Patty put the sheets on the counter.
"Thank you so much, Nurse Patty," She smiles at me.
"You two take care now, call me if you need anything," I watch the Nurse leave the room.
"Fiance?" I hear Mr. Winters say. I chuckle as I grab his suit from the cabinet.
"It was the only way I could come in and see you while you were recovering. You're lucky that I did because these Nurses were leaving you in dirty sheets covered in who knows what. You don't know how many Nurses I've fought to change your sheets or to clean you. I was ready to sue someone, or physically fight them. I finally got Nurse Patty, and she's been so sweet," I hand him his suit.
"I washed and pressed your suit so it would be ready for you when you leave," Mr. Winters looks at me.
"You did all of this, for me?" I smile.
"Of course. I'm your girlfriend. It's my responsibility to take care of you injured, or sick," I kiss him on the cheek.
"Now, come on, darling. Let's get you out of bed and walking, so I know if the exercises I've been doing for you to keep your muscles from getting weak have been working," I push the Nurse button. A moment later, I see Nurse Patty walk into the room.
"Hi, how can I help you?" I smile at her.
"We're ready to leave. Can you help unhook my fiance and get him out of bed to get dressed?" Nurse Patty smiles.
"Sure! Let's get him up and going!" I watch, and Nurse Patty pushes buttons on a machine and takes all the needles and oxygen masks off of Mr. Winters. I watch her leave the room and come back with a wheelchair.
"Alright, Mr. Loan. By orders of the hospital, I have to push you out in a wheelchair to make sure you're safe," I see Mr. Winters roll his eyes and stand up on his own. I help support him as he wobbles.
"Darling, sit down. You need help."
"I don't need any help. Not from anyone. I get dressed myself," I watch as Mr. Winters grabs his suit off the bed and walks into the restroom. I follow him into there and close the door behind me.
"Listen, darling. I wasn't trying to tell you what to do, I was trying to help you," I grab his hand and hold it as I look into his smokey-blue eyes.
"Like it or not, you need help," I hear Mr. Winters sigh as he hands me his suit.
I watch as he struggles to hold out his arms. I untie his blue and white gown and slide it off his arms, bearing his cut, shot, bruised, and newly shot muscled skin. I trace my fingers over his new wound in the middle of his chest.
"Did it hurt?" I look from the wound, into his smokey-blue eyes.
"A little, but I've been shot with worse than a small pistol," I look at him with sorrowful eyes.
"How bad?" He pulls me close, and I lay my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"You don't want to know," I sigh and look him in the eyes.
"I want to know everything about you. Why do you keep pushing me away?" He looks me in the eyes with sorrow and says nothing. I watch as Mr. Winters walks to the cabinet, grabs his suit, and hands it to me.
"One step at a time, pumpkin," I sigh.
"Okay, I'm not going to rush you, but I am going to rush getting you dressed because if I have to look at you any longer," I trace my finger down his scarred chest, abs, and down to his hips. I quickly look my eyes back up into his from seeing his meat whistle.
"Then I might have to have my dessert now," Mr. Winters grins big and pushes me against his body.
"What's wrong, pumpkin? Can't handle a simple dressing?" I roll my eyes as I feel my eyes wanting to peep down at his muscled abs. I close my eyes, turn around, and place a hand on my chest as I take a deep breath. Control your ranging pregnancy hormones, Evangeline! I feel myself being lifted off the floor and being set on the sink. Mr. Winters opens my legs, slides his body between them, and leans close to my ear.
"Hospital or not, I'll take my dessert," The words slither down my spine as my hand shakes while I push him away. My body's telling me to go for it and not wanting to get off the sink. I slide off the sink and hold up his shirt with my hands still shaking
"Let's uh- Uh- Save everything for the bedroom, shall we?" Mr. Winters grins big as he knows he got to me. I help him put his shirt on, pick up his underwear, and hand it to him.
"I think I need help putting on my underwear," I look at him with wide eyes, and my heart starts beating fast at the thought of going near his monstrosity.
"I think you can do it," I hear him sigh.
"I had to try," I roll my eyes, and he chuckles, showing his beautiful smile.
"You finish getting dressed, and I'll pack our things," I kiss his cheek and exit the restroom.
As I close the restroom door behind me, I take a deep breath. Pregnancy hormones are trying to get me in trouble.
I look around the room and see Nurse Patty gone. I sigh in relief as the room is finally quiet. I pack our things, and I hear the restroom door open.
I smile, looking upon the man I dream about.
"You ready to go home, darling?" I see him smile.
"Let's go," I walk out the door as Mr. Winters follows me out of the hospital and to his truck. I get into his truck and I hand Mr. Winters his jacket.
"Here's your leather jacket back," Mr. Winters smiles at me as his smile fades from the grey bulletproof mask being put on his face.
"Keep it, it's yours now," I laugh as he starts the truck.
"You can't get me the jacket," I hear Mr. Winters chuckle.
"Why not?" I look at the jacket in my arms.
"Because then you'd have no more coats," I hear him laugh as I buckle in.
"Then so be it. I'll just buy more," A smile forms on me as I hold his leather jacket that smells like him.
I watch time pass by as he drives, passing the road to Violet's house. I look at Mr. Winters confused.
"Where are we going?" I hear Mr. Winters chuckle.
"You'll see," I watch as he drives the road to his old house and pulls into the long driveway to a white castle-looking mansion.
"Holy shit," I say, looking at the field of flowers and bushes along the driveway, leading up to the white polish mansion.
Mr. Winters chuckles as he sees me gawking at the flowers and the mansion.
"Is this your new house?"
"It is. It was done Sunday night, but since the accident, I haven't had time to show you. I want you to move in with me," I look at him, speechless.
"Move in?"
"Yes. If you want to, I'm not going to force you to move in with me, if you're too scared," I chuckle.
"Try me," Mr. Winters laughs as he parks his truck next to his other fancy cars. Mr. Winters gets out and opens my door. I step out, staring at the mansion I'm soon to live in.
"This house's outside is based on a house I lived in as a child. Let me show you around," He grabs my hand as he leads me to the big brass front doors. I look at the doors with Chinese markings and drawings.
"You speak Chinese?" I hear Mr. Winters chuckle as he stands beside me, looking at the doors.
"I speak all kinds of languages. Chinese, Russian, and many more. Did you know your friend, Evan, is Russian, and his native language is Russian?" I look at him surprised.
"No kidding?" Mr. Winters chuckles.
"Come on in," I follow Mr. Winters inside, and the first thing I see is a giant white marble staircase, leading up to the second floor of the house. The sound of video games coming from upstairs confuses me, and I see Mr. Winters ignore it. I look next to the staircase and see two foggy glass doors.
"What's that lead to?"
"Come see," I follow Mr. Winters through the doors. My mouth drops as I see the luxurious shiny white marbled bathroom with a red tub sitting in the middle of the room.
"I made plenty of restrooms so you didn't have to go far to use them," I grin at Mr. Winters.
"With all this room, there's plenty enough for two. Do you want to take a shower?" Mr. Winters gets close to me and looks me in the eyes.
"I'll take a shower with you any day," I smile.
"Well, I don't think we can have dessert when you have guests," I see Mr. Winters rolling his eyes as I know whoever it is cockblocked him. I laugh following him out of the restroom and up the stairs to one of the living rooms.
As I enter the room after Mr. Winters, I look at the couch as Hunter Winters is sitting, playing video games. I stand next to Mr. Winters, seeing his facial expression looking mad at him. Hunter looks at me and smiles as he stands up.
"Well, if it isn't the beautiful and famous, Evangeline!" He walks towards me, grabs my hand, and kisses it.
I pull my hand away from his, looking at my hand, feeling disgusted. I hear Mr. Winters laugh as he sees how disgusted I look, Hunter.
"Where have you been hiding this beauty, brother?" Hunter looks me in the eyes, and I cringe as I look into his blue eyes. I look at Mr. Winters, confused.
"What does he mean by hiding me?" Mr. Winters says nothing as Hunter looks at me and then at Mr. Winters.
"You didn't tell her?" Hunter looks at Mr. Winters as he says nothing. Hunter grins at me.
"It's not my spot to say, beauty, but you should watch out for this one, Evangeline. He has his... motives," I look at him confused as he sits back down on the couch.

Message From The Author: Hello my fellow lovely Stars! I just wanted to say I'm sooo happy with the progress that this story has taken! I can't express this enough that y'all are absolute amazing viewers! <3
Enough with the praising, let me get to the real reason I've reached out to y'all.
I've been working hard on this story and I've had many ideas that I've been working on and I thought y'all would LOVE it!
So, with pleasure, I present you with my THREE new books I've been working on:
The First One is called: Falling For The Enemy's Boss
The Second One is called: The Russian Mafia Boss's Princess
For the Third One, it has to wait for this book to finish before it can be released, but don't worry, darlings. It will be worth the wait. <3
If you don't want to read my other books, that's okay. I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do if you're too scared ;)
Have a peachy day/night! <3
