A Convict's Lover by Kayla Trautman (best ebook reader for surface pro txt) 📖

Miss. Julie, this is Dr. Kelsh. He's here to check your injuries. All of them.

" She looked at him, "Even ...?" She didn't have to finish the question for him to know what she was talking about. "Yes. Even there." He answered.

"No way! I won't go through with it!" She exclaimed. Dr. Kelsh put on a friendly smile on his face, "My dear, I'm only here to help you. You're in pain and I might be able to ease it a little bit." "I said no! I won't have it!" "Do you want me to stay here with you and hold your hand?" Daniel folded his arms across his chest.

Julie gasped and turned to glare at him. He inclined his head, "Because that is exactly what's going to happen if you don't cooperate. I'm going to save you from your father's damned future from whether you like it or not. Starting with this. Make your choice."

She took a deep breath and muttered, "Get out." "Wise decision." He remarked as he turned and headed for the door. When he got to the door something soft hit his head hard and fast. He turned around to find Julie with her arms crossed under her chest with that same glare on her face. He looked down to see what she threw at him. A pillow? Dr. Kelsh could hardly hold back the laughter that took over his face. He shook his head and left, closing the door behind him. She could be mad at him for this all she wanted but he couldn't just stand around and do nothing while she was in pain.

Daniel stood up from leaning against the wall when the doctor came out from the room. He shut the door and turned to him. Dr. Kelsh answered his unspoken question, "She'll be fine. Her stomach is healing fairly quickly and she a couple abrasions in her vaginal area, inside and out."

"Is there anything you could do about the pain?" He asked. "I gave her some pain medication but she'll heal in time. She just needs some rest and no sexual activity for at least two weeks. I mean it, Daniel. I saw the look you had in your eyes when you looked at her. You have to control yourself."


Daniel laughed, "I'll do my best, Dr. Kelsh. Thank you." "Your welcome. Stay out of sight until everything's taken care of. I would hate for you to have to go back to prison or to working on someone's farm."

Chapter 11

Julie sighed and looked down at her toes. She was sitting in the middle of her bed with her knees up to her chest. She was so embarrassed when Mr. Horminion and Dr. Kelsh caught her looking at herself down there with a mirror. She was only trying to see what was causing the pain and discomfort there. But that was two weeks ago and she had no more pain there and the bruises on her stomach were long gone.

She hasn't spoken to him in a ... polite manner since he brought her there. Especially after he brought that doctor here and made her show him that part of the body she never wanted anyone to look at. She's been treating him with the utmost rudeness. She was actually grateful that he took her away from there. The four days before he took her away she had wanted so badly to runaway. But she couldn't.

She knew she'd have to do what was right. Not because she wanted to do what was right but because they'd always find her. There was no escape. That's why she was trying to avoid Mr. Horminion; she hasn't left her room more than necessary.

She also remembered the way he had kissed her once before. She remembered how it felt. How his lips moved along hers. How his tongue explored her mouth and how she wanted to do the same with his. She remember what his hands could do. She remembered how much pleasure she had felt then and wanted it all again. But she had to remember what happened when men became aroused.

But she had to go see him now. She couldn't stand being so distant from him anymore. She got up and opened her door. She suddenly grew nervous. She didn't really know why she felt that way; she just did. She looked out in the hall and no one was there. She slowly and quietly tip-toed down the hall and down the stairs.

She saw a couple maids cleaning but they just ignored her. She took a deep breath and went down the wide hallway that led to many rooms. She shook her head and decided that she couldn't go through with it. She turned around and gasped when she bumped into Mr. Horminion.

He grabbed her arms gently and asked, "So you've finally come out of your room? Where do you think you're going?" She jumped back from him and shook her head, "No where ... I was just ... looking for ... something."

Mr. Horminion smiled brightly, "Miss. Julie. Why are you acting so ... odd around me all of a sudden?" "I don't know." She whispered. He took her arm and led her down the hall, "Well while you're searching for the answer, which you will tell me later, join me in the library for a game of chess."

She took her arm back and folded her arms across her chest, "And if I don't want to play chess with you?" He shrugged, "Then I will be left to boredom and at a loss without your company." He tilted his head slightly to smirk at her. She sighed and looked ahead, "Fine."

"Okay. Game's over. I win." Mr. Horminion announced on a sigh. He put the game away and headed for the door, "I have ... other business to attend to that I put off for too long today. Feel free to roam the house." She sighed. There she was being rude to him again. From the moment she bumped into him in the hall and throughout the game she was behaving in a matter that would bore a horse.

"Wait. Mr. Horminion, stop." She sighed and stood. He stopped and just stood there with his back to her. She went over to stand a couple feet behind him. "I haven't been as appriciative as I should have been and I'm sorry. I just ...

"I'm so used to doing the right thing and the right thing here would be to go back and marry him no matter what my feelings towards him is. I wanted to run away from that place and you allowed me to do that but I know that he's going to find us here one of these days and I don't want him to hurt you. That's why I've been cruel towards you these two weeks. I'm awfully sorry."

Mr. Horminion turned around and she stiffened. He frowned and walked up to her. She backed away from him and he watched her intently. Soon her back was against the wall and he stopped with just a breath between them. He placed his hands on the wall beside her so that his arms trapped her there.

"Julie. Why are you afraid of me?" He asked in a whisper. She shook her head, "I'm not afraid of you." He sighed, "Then why are you acting nervous and wary around me? If you're not afraid of me then why?"

Julie stammered, "M-Mr. Horminion-" "Call me Daniel." He ordered. She swallowed, "Daniel. I'm not afraid of you. But ... ever since that night in the stables with you ... I wanted you to kiss me like that again but I know it's wrong. I've been trying to avoid you and I don't know why I'm telling you this-"

Daniel's lips came crashing down on hers in a manner that made her screech. His kiss was rough and it still sent excitement running through her all the way to her toes. He pulled back and his one hand cupped her cheek. He smiled as he breathed rather heavily, "All you had to do was say so. There's no need to avoid it."

She started to shake her head but whimpered when his lips met hers again; gentle this time. Her lips moved along with his and her hands went up to frame his face. She felt him moved closer to where his chest pressed up against hers. She felt trapped here with him and she was completely content with it. She was more than content with it. She was welcoming it.

Daniel buried his hand in her hair and and tilted her head back, deepening the kiss. She sighed against his lips and he took the opportunity to enter her mouth with his tongue. She ran her hands down to his chest and dug her fingers into him when the pleasure and excitement running through her increased. She decided now was the time to taste him.

Julie let her tongue venture into his mouth and he tasted of sweet honey. She was unfamiliar with this and and didn't know what to do but was surprised when it came so easy to her. She felt him tighten his grip in her hair and his other hand ran down her back to grip one of her buttocks.

With the hand he had on her buttocks, he pulled her against him and she felt something hard against her stomach. She gasped and pulled back from the kiss. He kissed her cheek and down to her neck. She sighed and it sounded more like a low, high pitch moan.

"Daniel ..." She whispered. His hand in her hair left and ran down her body. She gasped and pushed him back when he grabbed her breast. He looked at her with hunger in his eyes. He asked, "Julie? What's wrong?"

With the distance between them now she felt foolish and distraught. She shook her head, "I'm sorry." She picked up her skirts and ran out of the room. She would have orginally went to her bedroom but she ran out the front door and down the drive.

"Julie!" She stopped when she heard Daniel yell for her. She closed her eyes and sat down on the ground. She wasn't planning on leaving ... maybe in the back of her mind she was but at the moment she was only thinking of getting away from him.

After a few moments she heard his feet on the gravel when he walked to stand beside her. He kneeled beside her and asked, "What's wrong, Julie?" She shook her head and turned her head away from him, "I ... I wasn't ready for that. Not yet. I'm sorry."


Daniel grabbed her chin and brought her face over to his, "It's alright. I can wait for you but I want you to know that I won't hurt you. I'll be gentle and it'll feel good. It won't hurt when we make love." She sighed and hugged him.
