HYBRID HOOK 26

Hook took a long shower and lay down beside Abbie, he was hungry but again he didn't feel like eating. His mind was also a mess and he needed to rest, he spent the night on the hospital couch and it wasn't very comfortable.

He looked at the female beside him and resisted the urge to hug her in her sleep, she was mad at him and didn't want him to touch her. He always knew he would be a terrible mate and a terrible father if that ever happened to him, so he avoided females and a human so it was totally out of the question.

Yet there he was, with a human pregnant with his child. He still hated human beings but he couldn't hate Abbie, she made him have feelings and he even tried to pretend he didn't feel it, but it was enough for him to think that he was going to lose her forever that a little of his barrier fell.

Abbie changed him, changed something about him.

Her heart sped up painfully and finally it dawned on her. I would have a child. He never considered having a family but he would now. Unknown emotions invaded him.

There were still many walls to be knocked down, he couldn't trust any human being, trust in someone of that race destroyed him once, but it was worth trying for Abbie. He wanted to take care of her and her baby, they were the innocent people in the story and they weren't to blame for any of that, he had finally realized.

Abbie shifted a little, lying on her back, he fixed the blanket on her and his hand almost landed on her stomach but didn't touch her.

Hook ended up falling asleep minutes later.

Abbie woke up first, looked at the clock on the bedside table and it was half past one in the afternoon, she was so tired that she even forgot the much-desired bath she wanted to take. She looked to the side and Hook was sleeping soundly, her eyes filled with tears, she wanted so much that the circumstances of being together again were different and not just because she was pregnant.

She fell in love with him but knew he would never reciprocate her feelings, she was certain that he only felt guilty and wanted the best for the child she was expecting. He would never trust her or love her for being human or truly open up to a relationship.

She agreed to their terms before they had sex because she thought she could handle it, however she was wrong, she didn't just want one night with Hook, she wanted him to be her one and only man forever. It was romantic and filled with illusions, he was being as careful with her as he had been after her first time in the cabin and he didn't want to delude himself because he knew the reason, the baby.

He got up and went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, turned on the shower and got under it, the hot water relaxed his body, washed his hair, turned off the shower and got out of the box. There was a toothbrush in a sealed package, she brushed her teeth and went back to her room wrapped in a towel.

Hook was no longer lying down and had left the room. He looked at the clock and had spent almost half an hour in the shower.

The bedroom door opened and he appeared with a plate of food in his hand, shirtless and wearing only gray sweatpants. Abbie swallowed hard, she would never tire of saying he was perfect in every physical detail despite the scars she saw there.

Suddenly feeling dizzy, she leaned her head against the doorframe to steady herself. Hook immediately ran to her, placing the plate on the bed.

“Abbie? What was it? What are you feeling? His tone was desperate.

She didn't answer, she saw everything spinning and when she closed her eyes everything was spinning too.

“Talk to me, I'm worried. he asked anguished.

Finally everything around her stopped spinning when she opened her eyes and ended up leaning on Hook who had both arms glued to her waist.

“I'll call a car to take you to the medical center.

"No need, I'm better now." I just needed a few minutes to stop, it's over.

— Just in case, let's go to the doctor.

"I don't want to, please, it's over." — she was really better.

“If it happens again, we'll go to the doctor. I brought you some food, I figured you should eat in bed, the doctor said you have to rest. - he said taking her in his arms without waiting for permission.

He put her on the bed, picked up the plate and held it out to her.

“Smells great. She took a deep breath inhaling the wonderful scent.

- With the. I'm going to eat something too, I haven't eaten well for almost forty-eight hours. Abbie felt a tightness in her chest.

"Why are you not eating this whole time?" He couldn't hide his concerned tone.

— I was hungry but not in the mood to eat, but now I'm famished. He licked his lips and the small gesture made something throb in Abbie's panties.

"Oh, right…go on…" She looked down at her plate and started to eat. She remembered her friend — Where's Megan? I want to see her.

“She's sleeping in Blade's room.

"And where is he?" Hook growled at her.

- Which?!

"Why do you want to know where he is?"

“Because Megan has her leg in a cast and can't be alone, I want to know if she needs help.

— You have to be quiet, someone will help Megan and it won't be you.

"But I want to see her when she wakes up."

"Okay, now eat." he demanded.

"I'm already eating!" Stop talking to me like that.

He left the room mumbling and Abbie concentrated on her plate. There were steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. A few minutes later she was finished, it was delicious.

He got up, opened a chest of drawers and pulled one of Hook's shirts to put on, he had nothing but his soiled hospital clothes. He left the room to put his plate in the sink when he found Hook cooking.

She walked past him and washed her plate.

— Can I get water from the fridge? - she asked.

- It is clear. she replied quickly. But she should be lying down.

— I just came to wash my plate, I'm not lazy. She opened the fridge and there was nothing but water and a few jars of old food.

"You have me to do that." he said sharply. "Go lie down."

“We have to clean out that fridge. - She said ignoring him and pouring water into the glass.

"I'll do it tomorrow." Hook replied.

— What are you cooking? - Abbie asked drinking the water.

"It's pasta, the only thing I know how to make." Go to bed.

"Why didn't you order food too?" — he ignored him.

“I need to get rid of the pantry stuff before it goes bad, it's almost past its expiration date.

- I understood.

“Go to bed, Abbie. Will I have to tie her to the bed there? he growled.

"What's the deal with you tying me up huh?" she snorted.

— You must rest! His tone was gruff.

— My back is hurting from lying down so much, I'm going to stay here for a while and then I'll lie down again. - she said.

He looked at her and Abbie immediately knew what he wanted to do.

"Don't pick me up and force me into the bedroom." Really, Hook, my back hurts, I've been lying down too long, I'm going to sit down, I'm not even going to stand. she said and walked to a stool.

“Damn stubborn female. he growled.

"And you're a damn grumbling male." She rolled her eyes.

She sat on the high stool at the kitchen island and watched Hook cook and analyzed their entire conversation about the baby. There was only him there and she liked to talk.

"So will it be a boy?" she asked suddenly. He soon understood the question.

“Yes, hybrid babies are only born boys.

"And will it be your image and likeness?"

- Yea. I'm sorry if that doesn't suit you, but that's how it is.

“I'm not like you who would hate it if the child came fully human. It's an idiot but it's beautiful, what can you do? A hybrid baby must be the most beautiful thing...

He just suppressed a smile. She thought he was handsome. He finished preparing his food and filled a china bowl with his noodles and then fried two steaks rare and tossed them on top.

- Do you want some? he offered her.

"I'd like to try your macaroni."

He placed a plate in front of her and sat down on the other stool. Abbie took a bite and moaned at the delicious taste.

"Wow, it's so delicious." She ran her tongue over her lips to wipe away the sauce residue.

Hook growled low finding the sight of her doing that extremely sexy.

Abbie went to put another bite in her mouth and ended up dropping some of the food in her lap, it was hot and ended up burning her thigh a little.

“Shit! he swore under his breath and got to his feet to clean himself up.

- I will help you. He promptly got up and grabbed a wet cloth to blot out the stain.

He knelt down in front of her and pulled up his shirt a little, he growled when he noticed there was nothing underneath, his cock stirred inside his pants.

“Hook, that's not dirty. It's on my thigh. she said, feeling her face heat up.

He ignored her and continued looking at her exposed intimacy without looking away. Abbie tried to pull her shirt down but he stopped her by gripping her hips.

- What are you doing? She frowned.

He lifted his head and looked into her eyes, Abbie forgot how to breathe, she saw the inner panther in his gaze, he looked at her with intense passion, the same way he had the first time they had sex.

“I love the way you smell. He purred and licked his lips. And the taste of you. It's the best there is, better than any meal I could eat.

Her heart raced, her sensitive spot throbbed and she immediately felt wet with her arousal.

“It's not fair that you're so sexy. she whimpered, feeling her body begin to burn with desire for him.

“I'm dying to taste you again and be inside you so hard it hurts.

He's damn hot and hot but I can't give in easily despite wanting to just spread my legs and pull his mouth between my thighs.

She cleared her throat.

“We're not having sex, Hook. Forget it. You only want me for the baby, you're just treating me right for the baby, before that you didn't even want to look at me. If it weren't for the pregnancy I wouldn't even be here. You tried to keep your distance from me to avoid the attraction you felt so I recommend you do it again. I don't just want a fuck, I deserve more. She was proud of herself for having managed to say those words.
