Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion

Chapter 367: His Wife

"What are you doing? Let me help you…" I quickly offered.

He shouldn’t be moving too much with that wound on his shoulder, right?

Hayden held up a hand to halt me and I sat back down in my wheelchair. It was funny how we both ended up in this state and in the hospital together. The fact that Hayden seemed to be in a good mood was probably the only thing that was holding me together in one piece. I watched in slight confusion as Hayden seemed to reach for something before, he turned to face me again.

"Give me your hand," Hayden instructed as he held his hand out to me.

Confused, I placed my right hand in his. That resulted in Hayden shaking his head in dismay before he sighed. How was I supposed to know what he wanted?

"Your left hand, Malissa," Hayden said as his blue eyes smiled at me.

"Oh…" I mumbled before placing my left hand in his instead.

"Here you go…" Hayden said casually.

He took my left hand and I felt something sliding onto my ring finger. I blinked my eyes in surprise when his hand moved out of the way to reveal a diamond ring on my ring finger.

I gasped in shock. This isn’t what I think it is, right?

I mean, I could see that he had just put a diamond ring on my ring finger and the diamond on the ring was huge but…

"Hayden…" I called his name in a breathless whisper.

I could see it all and I could feel the ring solidly against the base of my finger, but I just couldn’t bring myself to believe it. Suddenly, I felt tears pooling in my eyes again and I had to bite hard on my lower lip to keep them from spilling over. Hayden is going to yell at me again if I cried…but…I was just so happy. I can’t even begin to describe what I was feeling.

"It’s a nice fit and the diamond looks really good on you," Hayden admired with satisfaction.

"This is…" I began saying how wondering this was and how happy I am, but I just couldn’t get the words out.

My hand flew to cover my mouth as my emotion started to spill over. Hayden watched my reaction before he smiled and laughed a little. He seemed so relaxed about all this while I was an emotional mess.

"Will you be my wife?" Hayden asked.

Wasn’t he supposed to ask that before putting the ring on me?

His words were so direct and so confident. It really sounded much more like him than the standard vows in the church. Although we were doing this in a hospital instead of a church and we had our hospital patient uniform on instead of a wedding gown and a tuxedo, I couldn’t have been happier to marry Hayden.

The moment lacked many things that a standard wedding would usually have but it felt more perfect than any wedding that any organizer could put together even with an unlimited budget.

I nodded my head firmly once as I felt Hayden’s captivating blue eyes on mine. Deep down, I knew that it wasn’t enough. After what he had said, I owed it to him to give him a proper response.

"I’ll live…and I’ll die as your wife," I swore determinedly.

I wasn’t sure if I even had a speck of his self-confidence, but I was slowly working on it. When I smiled at him, I smiled with all my heart. Somehow, we’ll make our life together work out and we’ll live happily as man and wife for the rest of our lives.

That was the promise that I made silently to myself when Hayden leaned in and captured my lips in a passionate kiss that filled my entire body with warmth.

Just as our wedding vows were different from those normally exchanged in a church, the kiss that we shared was very different as well. Since there was no one around to watch us, Hayden didn’t hold back at all. His lips crushed hard against mine before his hands reached for the back of my head to prevent my escape before he deepened his kiss.

Hayden’s warm and wet tongue teased my lips opened before plunging into the depths of my mouth.

I moaned small whimpering sounds as his tongue invaded my mouth and started grinding against my own. Our tongues danced wildly as our kiss quickly got wetter and hotter. I missed him so much and I couldn’t seem to get enough of him. From the way that Hayden was kissing me, I could feel that he felt the same desire that I did.

When he finally broke our kiss, I was panting, and my body was yearning for more of him.

I had to close my eyes to collect myself and stop the desire that was building up fast in my core. He’s injured and I’m also a mess so there was no way that we could do this right now no matter how much I wanted to and not to mention that we were also in the hospital of all places. We have to hold back…somehow…

"You finally stopped crying. I feel so…troubled…when you cry…" Hayden admitted with a really troubled look on his face.

It was like he couldn’t quite understand his own feelings and although I wasn’t sure what he felt exactly, it made me endlessly happy that he didn’t want to see me crying because that would mean that he wanted me to be happy.

"Thank you, Hayden…for always thinking of me…" I replied softly.

"Can you stand?" Hayden asked abruptly.

"Umm…I guess I can. I’m not injured anywhere…" I replied, uncertain of why he was asking.

"Do you think that you can climb onto this bed with me?" Hayden asked as his blue eyes flashed mischievously at me.

"Umm…" I murmured.

He’s not thinking what I think that he’s thinking is he?

"Can you, or can’t you?" Hayden asked, a little impatiently.

"Yes, I can…if you want me to…" I replied before trailing off.
