Chapter 21

“You did well,” Stephan praised Dawn as he removed the blood stained glove from his hand and threw it into the bin, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands. “What would you like to eat?” he yelled from the bathroom drying his hand with the hand towel.

“What of Olivia?”

“She should be here soon.” Stephan didn’t want to talk about Olivia, he was sensing Dawn was getting uncomfortable with his presence and it bothered him.

“Or do you prefer something to drink?” Stephan asked stepping out of the bathroom and walking to the fridge. He opened it and brought out a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice. He poured some into the disposable cup and handed it to Dawn.

He then returned the Jug back into the fridge and sat down next to her, watching her take a sip from the cup, she finished it in one gulp and dropped the disposable cup on the table close by.

“The bullet on your waist, how did that happen?”

“I can’t remember, I was really high on drugs but I felt a sharp pain before I went unconscious,” Dawn muttered.

“You need to get cleaned up, Matteo and Sarah will be here soon and I don’t want them to see you like this.”

“You are really enjoying this, aren’t you?” Dawn couldn’t do anything right now, all her body felt sore and the only help she had right now was Stephan. “If this is about the contract then I…..”

“Then nothing, till you get better we will not talk about the contract,” Stephan interrupted.

“Eventually I will need a nurse, you can’t bath me.” 

“Why can’t I bath you?”

“…” because you are a dick, Dawn wanted to say but she didn’t feel it was right. Stephan had saved her, he had come to her aid without a second thought, she had even called Olivia but it didn’t go through and when it did Olivia didn’t pick. At that point, she felt she would die.

Red had gone mad with rage and poured the anger on her by beating her, drugging her and eventually shooting her in the stomach. Dawn was lucky that none of her vital organs were damaged.

Stephan deserved all the appreciation.

“Then help me, I don’t think I can walk properly.” 

Stephan stood up as Dawn tried to pull herself up, so it would be easy for Stephan to assist her but instead he carried her bridal style before she could process it.

“You…”

“It’s better this way,” Stephan said carrying her into the bathroom.

“Is this really the hospital or your house?” Dawn asked entering the huge bathroom, she had never seen this kind of well-equipped bathroom in any hospital before. Stephan chuckled at the sound of that, he gently placed her on the chair in the bathroom. A proper shower wasn't ideal, just a little clean-up was okay.

He opened the water and placed the rag in then squeezed the water out, he took Dawn’s hand and started cleaning the blood off her hand, Dawn stared at him with a puzzled look, was Stephan really cleaning her body. The almighty Stephan Klar was here with her in a bathroom cleaning her up, she was sure if she told anybody they would believe her.

“Why are you smiling?”

“I am not smiling,” Dawn didn’t know her thoughts had brought a smile on her face.

“I am handsome right? Since you can’t stop staring.”

“…”

“You remind me of my sister,” Stephan confessed. Squatting down to clean her breast. “May i?”

“Do I have a choice?”

Stephan stared at her with a smile on his face, she definitely didn’t have a choice because if she refused, he was still going to find his way to get her to agree, he hadn’t done something like this before for anyone except Matteo, it was his first time but he was enjoying it. He stared at Dawn’s breast as it swelled with every breathe she took. 

He didn’t want to touch her like this, there was enough time for him to play with this beautiful breast of hers, he wondered what her nipples would look like.

“I am handsome right? Since you can’t stop staring,” Dawn mimicked his voice as Stephan laughed, Dawn noticed he also had a beautiful set of teeth just like Matteo, they were white and she concluded they probably had their teeth whitened. Stephan hardly smiled but he looked better when he did.

It was like a new side of him came out when he smiled, a more softer side. Dawn had noticed he hadn’t been harsh on her since she woke up and he hadn’t been demanding or commanding. Was he taking pity on her? Was that why he was being this way to her?

“You think too much,” Stephan said bringing her back to life, Stephan was done wiping her breast and she didn’t even take note. He was now on her legs. “Your legs are beautiful.”

“Is that what you tell all the girls you have been with?”

“More like slept with, but if you want I can be ‘with’ you.”

“Such a sweet mouth you have their, the same one you used on Olivia.”

“Do not mention that name in our conversations again,” Stephan said sternly. “You should know better than anyone that your sister isn’t my type, I am a man and only oblige to do the needful.”

“So you don’t feel bad sleeping with two sisters?”

“It’s lovely to know that you have thought about me and you sleeping together."

“…”

“You look flushed," Stephan teased."We are all done, I brought some gowns I don't know what you will like." Stephan said dropping the rag and going to the small cabinet to bring out a black gown, and then a pair of undies that matched with the gown.

"Should I help you unstrap the bra, I will leave you to change." Stephan offered seeing the look on her face. 

"Alright," Dawn held the front of the bra with both of her hands so it wouldn't slip off, as Stephan walked over to her back and unstrapped the bra like it was nothing. Dawn wondered how many times he had done it for him to be so skilled at it, he had even gotten the perfect size for her. 

Damien hardly knew how to pull off a bra or decide on a size.

Damien!

She remembered them hitting his head with a baseball bat, was he okay? She wanted to ask Stephan but she didn't want to upset him, she knew he wasn't fond of Damien, she had seen it first hand when he nearly killed him in his office.

 he had been so nice to her and she wasn't sure she could do anything on her own, but she really needed to know.

"Stephan."

"Hmm."

"Don't be mad," she muttered as he placed the gown and bra on the table next to her, so it will be less stressful for her to reach. "I remembered Damien being hit in the head and I..."

"He is fine," Stephan replied placing his hand on her chin, he lifted her face up to look at him. He stared closely at how beautiful she was, a little pale but he loved her.

What? 

No, he was fond of her. He couldn't love her, his smile dropped at the thought of that as he left her alone.

Dawn knew her question would offend him, he had been happy since but at the mention of Damien's name his mood had changed.

When Stephan came out he met Matteo and Sarah sited on the couch close by talking and laughing.

"I thought you both will never come outside," Matteo said seeing that Stephan wasn't wearing the clothes he had on last night, did they shower together?

"How was it?" Sarah asked.

"What?" Stephan couldn't believe this nonsense.

"You know, you both..."

"That's not something I should be discussing with you both," Stephan interrupted. How was he going to have sex with Dawn while she was injured? Were this two sicko's alright?

They heard Dawn groan in the bathroom, Stephan went to the door and knocked.

"Should I come in," He knew she did be naked now.

"Don't you dare," Dawn voice could be heard shouting.

"Sarah," Stephan called out as Sarah stood up and knocked on the door.

"It's me Sarah, can I come in to assist you?"

".... Okay." Dawn muttered as Sarah entered closing the door behind her.

"So, just me and you? Have you done it yet?" Matteo asked.

"Don't annoy me," Stephan warned going to sit on the couch next to Matteo.

"You always discuss this things with me, why are you being protective?"

"Because she is...."

"Special?" Matteo took the words from his mouth. 

"Just shut up," Stephan ordered as Matteo smiled at him. "Alberto has informed Olivia about Dawn's whereabouts."

"Really?"

"I informed him to, Olivia will be here anytime soon."

"Do you really think she will come here? I mean she had a misunderstanding with Dawn before the whole incident."

"She will come." Stephan knew Olivia wouldn't want to go to jail, she would do anything in her power to make sure she didn't go to jail, and that involved using Dawn.

"And Scar?"

"Alberto would handle him, probably kill him, I really don't care." 

"You will eventually need to tell Dawn that Olivia was the one that sent them," Matteo whispered.

"No."

"No?"

"Hmm, she should be smart enough to figure it out. If she isn't then I might have been wrong when I said she was different from Olivia."

Sarah opened the bathroom door as Dawn came out of the bathroom, she looked much better than earlier and she smelled really nice. Matteo stood up and walked up to her, he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"It's good to see you."

"Matteo," Dawn smiled."Thank you for saving me."

"Ah.. it was nothing, you should thank Stephan."

"Of course," Dawn replied.

"Hope he hasn't been hard on you?" Matteo continued 

"I have seen worst."

Sarah and Matteo laughed.

Stephan stood up from the couch and carried her bridal style to the bed, shocking Matteo, Sarah and even Dawn.

This shameless man, she could have managed with Sarah why did he have to still carry her.

He gently dropped her on the bed with ease."What do you want to eat?" He asked as he adjusted the bed cover over her, he noticed her body felt cold when he had carried her. She was probably feverish from the little wash.

"I am not really hungry," Dawn replied noticing that Matteo and Sarah were staring at both of them with a puzzled look.

"You should eat," Stephan said leaning in on her, he placed one of his hand over the wall for support and the other hand he placed on her lips as his fingers touched the bottom of her lips. "Did you brush your teeth?"

"Sarah helped a bit..." Dawn said as she felt Stephan's lips on hers slowly before she could finish her sentence. It was a simple kiss on her lips, she barely felt his lips on hers but she felt a certain sensation in her body , a tingling sensation. 

Dawn was taken off guard by the kiss, she didn't know how to react to it. She just stared at him with her mouth wide opened.

Matteo and Sarah were shocked by this too, it seemed Stephan was in his own world and didn't even care about their presence right now. He was busy staring at Dawn in a way that they didn't quite understand. Stephan hadn't kissed any woman before like that, and they had been oportuned to watch it first hand.

Matteo smiled and kissed Sarah afterwards but it wasn't innocent at all, he kissed her deeply.

"Since we are all kissing each other now," Matteo said after letting go of Sarah.

"You both are just shameless dicks," Sarah announced and got a nod from Dawn in agreement. Sarah knew Matteo had kissed her to make Dawn less uncomfortable as Dawn's face right now was flushed.
