  "Well see Winifred, You don't mind if I call you Winifred do you Winnie?" he asked but before she could answer he answered his own question, "Of course you don't, so where was I oh yeah the hospital and I, much like every other establishment in town, have an agreement that allows me to do as I please so long as I am not breaking the law or causing problems... so that being said they won't say anything about my presence in your room tonight."

  He resumed channel surfing with nothing more to say to her.

  Winifred wanted to make a comment on how the hospital might give him free range to do as he pleased but she didn't and she wanted his arrogant self to leave.

  However Jax had taken care of her and her problems when she had no one else to count on; he had kept his promise and as weird as it sounded this stranger was the only sure and safe thing in her life at the moment.

  She was about to comment on his use of her given name when Laura returned her bright smile faltering for a split second at the sight of Jaxxon in Winifred's' room but as soon as it had disappeared it re-lite.

  "Here you go sweetie, this is going to make it all better."

  Walking to Winifred's' bedside Laura held out the small cup holding the sleeping pill as requested and in the other hand she had the shot of pain medicine ready to go.

  Winifred reached for the pill but before her hand could take the cup Jax had snatched it from Laura's grasp.

  "What is this and why does she need it?" he demanded his voice scary and made scarier by the intense look in those steel colored eyes of his.

  Laura faltered before answering, "Its just some medicine to help her sleep and the shot is for her pain." While she may have been intimidated and scared Laura held her ground her own voice was filled with authority and power.

  Reaching for the small cup she retrieved it from Jaxxons' grip, before she handed it to Winifred with a conspiratorial wink just for Winnie.

  Taking the medicine and the offered water Winifred smiled her thanks to Laura.

  "Now hun this is going to suck big time but I need to put this in your right hip so I am going to need you to roll over for me."

  Winifred winced at the mere thought of rolling anymore.

  While her back had began to feel like needles were digging in and she had managed to roll over on her right side slightly to relieve the pressure on her hips and joints she had also endured a pain that had left her a bit sick to her stomach and weak as a kitten.

  "Laura I don't think I can roll over can we just put it in my other hip?" Winifred asked.

  Laura Shook her head no and offered a sad smile, "No sweetie the doctor was explicit in his orders he said it needed to go in the right hip only... not sure why but he is my boss."

  "Okay well I will just have to do without it then, thanks anyway." Winifred said.

  Her heart was sinking at the thought of suffering the rest of the night from the almost unbearable pain in her body.

  "I am going to roll her over for you so get that damn shot ready because if she hurts even five seconds more than I think she should then I am coming at you." Jax said before he reached for Winifred's legs.

  He bent her knees then used her bent legs to gently move her hips to the center of the bed.

  Then he turned to grasp her shoulders moving her upper body to the center as well.

  A small whimper escaped Winifred as he moved her.

  It literally felt like he was re-breaking her ribs.

  Satisfied she was centered he reached across her and grabbed the sheet that had been folded and placed under her hips, using the sheet he successfully rolled Winifred over to her left side.

  Then he pushed the sheet off her, straightened it up and turned his back to the bed so that the Laura could expose her naked hip to sink the needle in and release the pain shot in to Winifred's rump.

  The thick liquid burned as it went in but the tiny burning sensation was nothing compared to the tsunami of pain racking her body at that moment.

  The shots pain was actually a pleasing sort of pain because Winifred knew it would soon bring her immense relief.

  Laura covered her hip and pulled her blankets up over her shoulder before turning to dispose of her needle.

  She came back to Winifred on the bed and leaned over to whisper in Winifred's ear.

  "I might be mad about his haughty attitude if not for the fact that he has been in here so often looking worried sick to make sure your okay asking about you and demanding you get only the best of everything... that young man is certainly smitten with you Winnie. You are a really lucky young lady." squeezing Winifred's shoulder Laura told Jax he could turn back around and then she left once more closing the curtain as she exited the room.

  Jax looked at her and saw the strain in her features his gaze softened as he leaned down over her bed rail, using the fingers of his right hand he pushed the soft blonde tresses of Winifred's hair back from her face.

  "Give the meds time and before you know it your going to be relaxed and sleeping like a baby." with a smile that seemed to crack his tough exterior Jax moved back across the room to the pull out couch.

  He had just sat down and resumed his channel surfing when a knock came on the door.

  The knocking sound was not ordinary knocking but instead it sounded like someone was using her hospital door to practice their drumming.

  Tap Tap...Tap Tap...bump slap.

  Jax seemed to know who it was by the aggravated way he shook his head at the sound.

  "Come in." he growled out.

  The man who entered Winifred's room was around six, six in height and probably a good two eighty in muscled weight.

  The man wore a bandana around his head, and a long single braid of black hair down his back.

  On his hands there were black leather fingerless biker gloves.

  He wore only a black leather biker vest buttoned up however this left his tattooed shoulders and arms completely exposed and most of his upper chest.

  He had a pair of heavily machine washed black jeans on and a black belt around his waist.

  If Winifred was not being pulled off to lala land by the drugs she would swear that tucked into the back of his jeans was a handgun.

  But surely the hospital would have never let him in here with a gun... right?

  "Hey Prez I hate to bother you but we got a sitch over in Hammond."

  "What kind of SITCH monster?" Jax snarled.

  "It's Nico. He was over there visiting this girl and another club attacked him claiming he was treading their turf... Nico was shot twice but is fine, pissed but fine and a few of the guys went over there to make our presence known and to send a message."

  Jax grunted and spoke in a whispered tone too low for Winifred to understand.

  Then the big guy shook his head saying something along the lines of "Are you sure boss?" and after some form of confirmation from Jax he turned and left the room.

  The room was eerily quiet for a moment and with Winifred's eyes beginning to feel too heavy to open Winifred began to believe she was alone and Jax had left.

  She was almost completely out of it when she heard Jaxxon's deep voice in her ear and his hot breath on her ear and neck.

  "Get better Winifred because you owe me that entertainment and I mean to be highly entertained by you lovey."

  Winifred wanted to react, to ask questions, to see his face so she might judge his mood be it joking or serious but she was already too deep under the medicines effect and before she could think another thought she was out of it.

  Her dreams revolved around a British biker and entertainment.....

  Chapter 5

  Winifred awoke the following morning, her body was sore and aching.

  She felt like she needed to pee but was half afraid she would not make it on her own to the bathroom and she didn't want to add the humiliation of peeing in the floor to be added to her already legendary repertoire.

  So she hit the call button but was soon squirming in her bed at the loud popping noise
that ensued before a high pitched voice of a female nurse barked at her through the on bed intercom.

  "Yes what do you need?"

  Not too sure she wanted to say what she needed now at such a hateful tone Winifred hesitated.

  "DO...YOU...Need something?" the voice barked again.

  Before Winifred could answer a large muscular arm came across her face and hit the call button.

  "Yes I need you to adjust your attitude when speaking to a patient and I want you to go get your supervisor; I won't tolerate Winifred being talked to like that."

  Winifred jerked her eyes up to those cold greys of Jaxxon Monroe.

  "Hi." she said softly.

  Her body and her nerves calming at his presence in her room.

  He was too young to have achieved a presence like his.

  He was so commanding and he demanded obedience from everyone.

  His body radiated confidence and power; Winifred was positive that should he be defied he would quickly rectify that with a show of force.

  "Morning rainbow." his words were spoken softly in that deep tone of his.

  "Rainbow?" Winifred asked.

  "Yeah rainbow... you know since your face and ribs are like seven different shades of purple, yellow and black." he smirked before sitting in the chair at her bedside.

  Winifred wanted to hide her face, no one other than the hospital staff her parents and the mirror had ever seen her face when it looks like this.

  She could only imagine how hideous he must think she looked.

  "Why do you need the assistance of the nurse?" he asked as he thumbed through the motorcycle magazine in his hand.

  "It's personal." she replied.

  "So you need the facilities." he answered.

  "Facilities." Winifred questioned him; his accent throwing her off.

  "Oh yes I meant to say; do you need to take a piss?" his tone was taunting.

  Blushing from mortification and looking away from him Winifred shook her head yes.

  Laying down the magazine in his hands he stood up straightened out his tight fit white t-shirt.

  Coming to her bedside he reached down grabbing the covers before ripping them off her and tossing them towards the end of the bed.

  Thank god my gown was down; Winifred thought to herself.

  Palming the bed remote he sat her up much to Winifred's dismay.

  Winifred winced and did her best not to scream out in pain.

  Damn this was going to take time to recover from.

  Pulling her legs off the bed he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to keep her from falling back in the bed.

  Scooting to the edge Winnie sat still for a moment to let the pain subside some.

  Standing up she walked and he supported her all the way into the bathroom.

  Upon entering the bathroom she caught sight of her face in the mirror.

  She looked grotesque.

  Her face was swollen on the left side, her right eye had a large laceration above it and was black and blue from her forehead down to her chin.

  Reaching up she gently touched her face a tear escaping her now closed eyes.

  "It won't happen again." Jax's voice came from behind her.

  Opening her eyes she glanced at Jax through the mirror.

  His eyes stared hard into her own, he was making another promise.

  "Can you give me a minute?" she asked.

  Shaking his head yes, he stepped out of the bathroom closing the door behind him.

  Winifred sat about handling her business, she was just finishing up when she made up her mind a shower was in order.

  She stank of hospital and blood she couldn't stand it another minute.

  Stripping the gown and turning on the shower she waited on the water to heat before stepping in.

  Winifred enjoyed feeling; the warmth of the water relaxing her tensed muscles and removing the grime from her now oily hair.

  Twenty minutes later she exited the shower and wrapped the towel hanging beside the shower around her body.

  There was a smaller towel she used to dry and wrap around her hair.

  The shower had been invigorating, painful but invigorating.

  However now she had another problem, Jax was in her room and she only had a towel; a very short towel.

  Easing open the door she peeked out and called for him.

  "Jaxxon... are you there?" she asked.

  "Yes luv." he replied his voice sounded close by.

  "I need a new gown... I ah took a shower and can't bare the thought of putting that thing back on."

  "Do you want a gown or do you want your clothes?" he asked.

  Winifred didn't have any cloths, she recalled Laura telling her that her clothes had been so solid with blood they had thrown the away.

  "What clothes?" she questioned.

  "I bought you some while you were out of it... okay I didn't go and literally buy them myself but I had Monster get his girl to pick you up something." his reply was quick, and before she could respond Jax's hands filled with clothes came through the half opened doorway.

  Taking the clothes quickly out of his hands afraid her towel would fall and give Jax a peep show she made to slam the door quickly however all she did was successfully slam the door on Jaxxon's.

  "Shit... Son of a bitch... motherfucker." and he continued on and on.

  Winifred apologized and snickered after she successfully shut the door.

  Setting the clothes down on the bathroom counter she looked through her new bounty.

  There on top was a cute white t-shirt with pink lettering the fit was going to be a bit more tight than Winnie was accustomed to wearing but it was clean and she was not about to complain.

  Then under the shirt she found a pair of plain no shoe socks.

  It was the bra and panties that left Winnie looking around to see if anyone could see her holding such things.

  They were white lacy bits of fabric that were meant to just barely hide the goods, these undies were the kind a girl bought when she had a guy she planned to let rip them off later not the kind a virgin like Winifred wore.

  Quickly pulling them on she slipped the shirt over her head and slipped into the tight fitting jeans.

  Looking up at herself in the mirror Winnie was shocked at how good these clothes made her body look.

  Her boobs looked bigger, her hips fuller dare she say she seemed a bit sexy.

  If not for her face and it's terrible condition this outfit on Winnie would have left her feeling a bit powerful.

  Taking in her new look Winifred squeaked loudly at the sound of Jaxxon's voice behind her.

  "Looks good."

  Twisting around she found Jax leaning on the door frame his arms crossed over his chest and a small black bag dangling from his left arm.

  "How long have you been there?" Winifred asked, praying his answer would be that he just came in.

  "Let's say I been here long enough to know that you like and look good in all your new things."

  Winifred's face inflamed he had watched her dress and she had been so excited at the prospect of new clean clothes she hadn't even heard him come in.

  "Oh" was all she could manage to get out her whole body was flushed in embarrassment.

  Moving to straighten from his position in the doorway he held the black bag out to her.

  "It's not much and it may not be what you need but Jess said you would like it anyway."

  Taking the bag Winnie asked as she peeked inside the bag; "Jess?".

  "Monster's girl." Jax answered.

  Inside the bag was a hair brush, hair bands, foundation and cover up.

  There was mascara, chap-stick and eye shadow.

  The colors were slightly darker than what she would buy but with her face being so dark with bruises she could used that darker coloring to her advantage.

  "Tell her I said thank you and Jax thank you as well." Winifred smiled at him unsure of how she should react around him right now.

&
nbsp; He had just seen her naked after all, no guy had ever seen her body before.

  Seeming to sense her uncertainty Jax smiled and made to exit the bathroom again.
