wound

Lily place the tray of food on the side table. Lily first clean her hand and then She move towards Leonard who is sitting on the bed waiting for her. Lily slowly and gently started to remove his old dressing. Apart from the gunshot injury on his shoulder, his whole back is cover with tattoo. The design of tattoo on his right shoulder is a tribal tattoo which ends at his chest, below it, it's written 'master of my own life'. There are several other tattoos which represent some meaning and Lily really want to know about his tattoos. Some may find tattoos disgusting but looking at Leonard body covering with ink gives off dark mysterious aura which represent him as a king of devil.

What caught Lily attention was the rose tattoo which has a deep stab mark on his stomach. Her brown eyes meet his dark black eyes who is observing her action. Lily breath caught on her throat, she don't know why but whenever she is near him her heart start to beat really fast. She slowly move her hand and softly Caresse his stab mark "how did it happen?" Lily ask looking at his eyes.

Leonard breath sharpen with Lily touch. He is controlling himself from unleashing his beast who wants to take Lily on his bed. But hearing her question his mind goes to past.

Lily saw Leonard looking at the wall as if he remembering something which turn his expression cold and aloof. She didn't say anything, she clean the wound and applying the new dressing. Many questions is running inside her mind ....but what she wants to know is just who exactly is Leonard Marshall?

Lily again look at Leonard who is still in deep thought "Mr Marshall you should eat your food now you have to take your medicine"

Leonard thoughts come to present. His eyes is fixed on Lily. He couldn't help but compare her to Lily. When he look at Lily he find peace in her presence, when he look at her eyes he don't understand how can someone eyes is so clean there is no greed, no evilness, no ulterior motive. Lily place the tray of food on his lap. Leonard move his hand to pick the spoon but a sharp pain shoot in his right shoulder where the wound is. He hiss from pain.

Lily look concernly at Leonard and take the spoon from his hand "let me help you"

Leonard nodded. Lily started feeding him. During this process, the whole time Leonard eyes is fixed on Lily. Lily face burn red from the intense look she is getting from him. She clear her throat "Can I ask you you something?"

"go ahead" Leonard said without blinking.

"who shoot you...how...how did this happen.... if you are in trouble.... you could take help from police" Lily ask nervously.

Leonard chuckle "tsk tsk kitten ...you are so innocent... my line of work is not clean...and by the way tell me Lily would you hate me if I tell you I'm not less than a monster....that my hand is stain with blood.... tell me Lily"

"I...I .." Lily shutter her heart is trembling from what Leonard said ...tainted with blood...that means he kills people. ...she look at Leonard "Wou...would you kill innocent people"

Leonard smirk "I kill only those who try to double cross me or harm me .....and trust me Lily I get greater satisfaction when I hear their painful screams.....are you afraid of me Lily"

Lily mind turns blank She look at him "Whom I to judge you Mr Marshall there are lots of people who have show themselves as a good person but from inside they are poisonous snake... who wouldn't hesitate to betray the person who loves them, trust them....I have seen a lot of people like that in my circle ...who for power and money would do anything.....atleast you are being honest.....and moreover I don't even know you ...so I have no opinion in regard of you"

Leonard taken aback he wasn't expecting this type of answer. He smirk inwardly ...you are truly an interesting person... the more he knows her the more surprise he gets "Call me Leonard"

Lily narrow her eyes "You are my boss I can't address you from your name"

Leonard click his tongue "didn't I tell you as a boss you have to follow my orders... call me Leonard or everytime you call me Mr Marshall I will kiss you as a punishment"

Lily glare at him. This arrogant asshole even in this condition could be more shameless. She takes the tray and leave his room while slamming his door.

Leonard chuckle ....You will be Mine Lily.
