Chapter 24

Hook smiled softly as he looked over at her. He leaned further on his side, the front of his body flushed gently to the back of hers. With his hook he gently moved the hair away from her face, he could watch her sleep forever. He leaned over and gently kissed his cheek before slipping his hand over her waist and resting it on her stomach, he tried to be slow and careful with his movement as he didn't want to wake her.

Emma could feel his touch and the front of his body against her back but it brought a small smile to her face as she slept. She stayed asleep for a few minutes longer before she slowly opened her eyes, just a few inches. "Good morning," she murmured but feeling his hand resting against her stomach and him against her, she didn't move quite yet since she didn't want to be out of his touch yet. And she was also comfortable.

Killian hummed softly and pressed a kiss to the back of her neck softly. "good morning" he whispered quietly not wanting to disturb the rather peaceful morning they were currently having. He gently ran his thumb over her stomach and squeezed her a little into the cuddle. "did you sleep okay?" He asked knowing that she'd had a little difficulty before.

Upon feeling the kiss, Emma smiled a little wider and opened her eyes fully but stayed laying how she was, not wanting to move. She nodded, turning her head after a moment to look at him. "After I got back to sleep I slept just fine." She said softly. "How did you sleep?" She asked him, turning onto her back and reaching up to run a hand through his hair.

Killian nodded hearing that, he was so glad that Emma had managed to fall back to sleep after her bad dream. He smiled as she turned to face him. "Good....I'm glad you slept well...I slept okay love" he replied, his jaw aching a little from where David punched him. "God I feel like just staying asleep all day with you" he chuckled, closing his eyes happily at the feel of Emma's hands running through his hair.

Emma smiled up at the pirate. Though she still felt upset about the events of yesterday but she did feel a little better. Though her mind when back to her bad dream but she tried to push that aside and right now just focused on the pirate and how he looked laying there next to her. Emma let her hand run through his hair still as she smiled. "I wish we could hear all day together." She agreed, but she had to go get some of her stuff and new clothes and try to figure out what to do or where she could stay. She had thought of going to David and talking to him but she wasn't sure if she should which made her frown a little to herself. She loved her dad and knew they had never argued like this before that it was always small ones that they would make up after and things would go back to normal. But to try and hide the frown, she looked at him before she ran her thumb over the red mark on his jaw. She studied it for a moment before asking "does it hurt?" Though her voice was soft. She had thought of using her magic to heal it but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to.

Killian sent a beaming smile back her way when she saw hers, even that action alone could melt his heart, making him love her just a little more. He watched her expressions, his fingers delicately trading patterns onto her shoulder, he could see the from but decided not to say anything, he wanted her at as much ease as possible. He let out a little sigh when  he felt her touch his jaw, he slightly clenched it and nodded. "A little... definitely a lot more sore than yesterday. But I'm sure I've had worse" he said and gave her arm a little squeeze. He snuggled up to her and just listened to her breathing, he bent down and smirked, he didn't want to have sex but he wanted her to feel appreciated. He climbed over her, on his hands and knees, almost straddling her, with his hook he turned her head to the side and bent down, gently pressing soft warm kisses to her neck.

Emma smiled some with a nod but heard what he said about his jaw and nodded a little bit but before she could say anything, she raised an eyebrow seeing the smirk he had. "What's that smirk for?" She asked but watched as he climbed over her and felt her head turned but she kept her head turned, her eyes closing slightly when she felt the kisses he was pressing as a soft moan escaped her lips.

Hook smirked and chuckled softly. "no reason" he smiled. That moan gave him butterflies in his stomach. He gasped and went back to kissing her neck, teeth grazing at her skin softly. He moaned softly, kissing his way along her jawline and beginning to kiss the other side of her neck. With a smirk and an idea he began gently began sucking on one spot on her neck.

Emma looked at him but smiled some seeing the same smirk on his face and let one of her hands come up to tangle in his hair as she let her eyes flutter closed at feeling the kisses pressed against her skin. When she felt him kissing the other side of her neck, she titled her head a bit to give him more access, moaning softly when she felt him sucking at the skin on her neck.

Hook moaned softly, letting the skin pop from between his teeth and kissing over the dark red mark on her skin. "God you look sexy in my shirt" he hummed, he kissed down the opening of the shirt, giving her chest a few kisses before he moved his way back up to her neck. "Feeling any better?" He asked, he would honestly do anything that she asked for.

Emma let out a small laugh when she felt how he had let the skin pop from his teeth and giggled some but knew there was probably a red mark now. She let out a small moan feeling him leave kisses but smiled up at him. "I always feel better when I feel your kisses." She said as she kissed the corner of his mouth before letting her head lay back and chuckled hearing what he said. "Maybe I should wear your shirt more often." She said, teasing a little bit before she looked at the red mark on his jaw and moved her hand to be hovering over it slightly.

Killian giggled a little, he nodded and looked down at her, his eyes sparkling. "well good" he smiled pressing another quick kiss to her lips. He looked at her hand and was confused for a moment before he realised it was over the mark on his jaw. He reached up and cupped her hand in his, gently guiding it to rest on the mark. "It really doesn't hurt so bad" he promised in a soft whisper not wanting her to feel guilty about anything that happened. "do you want to talk about anything?" He asked, he was wondering now if her bad dream last night was due to the flashbacks or David's actions yesterday.

Emma looked up at him with a smile, returning the quick kiss before she felt him guide her hand onto the mark and let it rest there, gently rubbing her thumb against the mark. "Are you sure? You aren't just trying to act tough, are you?" She asked, teasing a little bit. "I can.. try and heal it if you'd like." She suggested before she paused slightly hearing what he said and looked away briefly before she looked up at him. "I think.. I might have remembered something. It's not very much though." She said but decided to keep her other bad dream to herself. She didn't want him to be concerned about that.

Killian let out a small smile and leaned into Emma's touch. "maybe..." He smiled pressing a kiss to the palm of her hand, resting his hand atop hers. "Sure love...give it a go" he agreed, he didn't mind Emma using magic at all, plus it would only help her in the future but he could tell that she was a little uncertain. "I believe in you" he said and then frowned sadly looked at Emma. "You can tell me...you don't have to, I won't force you...but you can" he said, he wanted her to know that he would be there for her in any way possible no matter what

Emma smiled some as she felt the kiss and nodded hearing to give it a try but her focus now went to the red mark on her jaw, her thumb still rubbing across it as she saw a small glow from her hand but when she saw the redness starting to fade, she had a proud look in her eyes before she looked up at him hearing what he said and nodded. "I know.." she said as she stroked his cheek but after a moment she started to talk again. "Like I said.. it isn't very much. Just small parts. I remember at one point it seemed like we all got separated from one another." She said as she turned her eyes to look into his, giving him a small smile.

Killian wasn't scared when she was getting ready to use her magic, magic for so many years by certain people had just been feared. But Emma was the saviour. His love. He trusted her. "thank you. It feels much better now" he smiled noting the proud look in her eyes. He then tilted his head to the side and gently grabbed her hand as she spoke, squeezing it in his and frowning. "Are you sure that's all love? Just....the way you woke up last night..." He didn't want to make her talk about something so shook his head. "Well...we are all here now, I'm right here. With you. Always" he said smiling softly in return.

Emma looked up at him with a smile as she brushed her thumb against his cheek. "I'm glad I could help." She said although she did feel a little guilty that he had gotten punched because of her. She returned the squeeze back and nodded and smiled some. "I'm happy to be here with you." She whispered and pressed a kiss to his cheek before she sat up some. "There was another dream.. but it's silly." She said but didn't want to say anymore than that and glanced at the time on her phone. "The.. loft should be empty.. I should get dressed and go get some clothes." She said but gave a smile. "Maybe after we can meet up at Granny's for breakfast?" She suggested. "Or we can bring breakfast back here?" She said.

Killian smiled softly and kissed her softly once again. "You always help" he hummed. He then looked at her as she said there was more, not even more but an entirely different dream, he would place a bet that's what caused her to wake up, and he certainly didn't think it was silly. But he didn't mention another word about it, it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about it. He listened to her suggestions and pouted a little. "Well...you go grab some clothes and I can meet you at granny's? Get you a hot cocoa with cinnamon for the time you're there?" He asked running a hand over her thigh and giving it a little squeeze as he moved to get up off the bed.

Emma looked up at him but was glad he didn't ask any other questions. She didn't want to talk and wanted to try and forget the dream. Emma let out a giggle when she saw his pout and nodded as she sat up. "Hot cocoa with cinnamon sounds great." She squeezed his arm before she got up. She pulled the shirt of his she had worn and pulled on her clothes from the day before she ran her fingers through her hair in an attempt to get it under control. She looked at the pirate before she leaned forward and kissed him slowly before she pulled back. "I'll meet you at Granny's in a few minutes." She told him, giving his arm a squeeze before she unlocked the cabin door and walked up the steps and onto deck, blinking to get use to the bright sunlight before she made her way off of the ship and away from the docs, heading back to the loft.

Killian smiled and pulled her close, glad that he would be able to take her mind off things. He nodded and kissed her back, one hand resting on her neck as he did so. "see you there Swan" he smiled. He left shortly after Emma and headed into Granny's diner, going up to the counter and ordering Emma's drink knowing that she wouldn't be long. He turned to look and see if he recognised anybody and that's when he saw David. He clenched his jaw and looked at him with a small glare before turning around, he didn't want to start any drama and Killian hated that man right now for how upset he had made Emma. Even if she didn't cry or breakdown, that night, he saw how close she was to doing so.

When Emma was sure that it was empty, she pulled out the key she still had and let herself in before she went up the steps. She walked over to her closet and got out a pair of jeans and a gray t-shirt after she got changed she looked at the red leather jacket, putting it on before she grabbed a bag, packing some of her clothes. She didn't take everything, left most things there but mostly took the clothes she'd need and anything important since she didn't know when she'd come back but would get the rest of her stuff later. She hurried since she didn't want David to come back. As Emma walked down the steps, she looked at the key in her hand and sighed a bit before she sat the key down on the counter and turned, starting to leave the place and walking outside.
