    “Sore and stiff but not terrible.”


    “Good, Lay back and I’ll get us some breakfast brought up.” Alec helped me adjust the pillows. There


    was


    two behind me so I was at an angle and he put one pillow under each arm to keep them at a good


    angle.


    Once I was situated, he got up.


    “You aren’t leaving are you?” I asked quietly.


    His b*dy froze as he looked at me. “I won’t be leaving you for a long time.” He said before he started


    walking towards the bathroom.


    Trying to rx was more difficult. Not because of the pain, but because I didn’t want to be alone right.


    now. As much as I tried to calm my anxiety, every second Alec wasn’t in my eyesight, I started to get


    antsy. I hated this. Hated everything about feeling this way. I was a strong independent woman. Feeling


    vulnerable and weak was no in my vocabry. This wasn’t supposed to happen to me.


    “What’s wrong?” Alec asked as he came out from the bathroom. He was only wearing shorts so he


    bruising was clearly visible. Some were yellow but there was some new ones that were ck and blue.


    “Why do you have bruising like that? Some old and some new?” I asked.


    “I needed to get some frustration outst night. I spared with Colt. He was probably the only persor


    could handle me.” Alec said like it was no big deal. Heid down in bed but didn’t touch me.


    “Cuddle with me?” I asked.


    Alec grabbed the remote and turned the T.V. on as he rolled over. Scooting up, he had his arm over the


    myb


    top of my head so his arm could y with my hair. He was probably as close as he could be without


    actually touching me. Though, since both arms were hurt, it wasn’t like he couldy on my other side.


    Fl*pping through the channels, he finally settled on Master Chef. After about twenty minutes, I couldn’t N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    hold my dder anymore. Peeing was going to be rough but I couldn’t push it off. Using my sore


    muscles,


    I just sat up quickly as possible.


    “Oh, that hurts.” I groaned. It didn’t hurt to straighten out my elbows. Which in itself was a blessing.


    Still, it


    took me a second to allow my shoulders to rx. However, I kept them at an angle. The red lines


    around


    my wrist and ankles reminded me of why I was in this much pain.


    As I got up, there was a knock on the door. “That is probably the food.” Alec got up and headed


    towards


    the door as I made my way to the bathroom. He waited until I was fully inside before he opened the


    door.


    Since I only had underwear on, it was a little easier to gently pull them down to pee. The trickier part


    was


    “You okay?” Alec said in our mind-link. I must have taken long than I thought to go.


    “Yeah, it’s not the easiest thing to do right now.” Looking at myself in the mirror, I tried to move my


    shoulders around. Maybe working them would get it to loosen up. After about five minutes, all that i


    aplished was creating more pain for myself..


    “What are you doing?” Alec opened the door and looked at me as I was rotating my shoulder.


    “Trying to loosen up the soreness but it isn’t helping.”


    “Here. Let me help you.” Alec stood behind me. Grabbing my arm, I allowed it to go limp as he rotated


    in a


    way that I was not able to. He was actually making good progress before moving to the other arm.


    “That helped.” I said as Alec put my arm down.


    “Good. After we eat, I’ll get some ice for them. Do you want to try to shower?”


    “After I eat.” I was feeling rather uneasy on my feet and needed to sit down.


    “Alright.” Alec guided me to the couch. He had set up a small pic like meal on the coffee table. There


    was different fruits and veggies with cold cut sandwiches. “There is either turkey or roast beef?”
