48 Hours Later
Chanyeol's POV
The low continual thrum of the monitor his precious bambi boy still remains hooked up to wakes him suddenly, it's swiftly followed by a sharp pain in his neck, that no matter how he stretches still manages to wake him before dawn and make him hiss. The crick in his neck however is nothing compared to the pain and suffering his precious Jewell has been through, and whisky he yearns to be in the bed holding his Jewell but is exorcising his self control to the max by sitting in his wing back chair that has been turned to face the tiny creature sleeping soundly in their bed.

True to Yixing's word the next time Baekhyun woke up after their emotional reunion he was violently ill. Whilst he knew it would happen it still broke his heart that all he could do was gently rub up and down his boyfriends shivering back as he bravely expelled the very little stomach contents he had. Yixing too had done everything to make his precious boy as comfortable as possible, but ultimately had advised that the best thing to beat those toxic drugs was to be sick. No one had to say it, but they all knew it was that or get Baekhyun's stomach pumped.

It had been a long six hours that his bambi boy had bravely handled being sick, clear to all that come the end it was to much for him. He wasn't able to hold the bowl to be sick, both due to exhaustion and to the pain in his wrists, wrists that are still raw and tender from god knows how long being in far too tight cuffs. Baekhyun wasn't just physically exhausted it was alarming how much paler he has become.He himself ultimately stepping in and come the end of those torturous hours, gave an order to Yixing to administer a sedative to help his precious Jewell rest in comfort. He truly hated having to add more drugs to his lover, but he could no longer stand to watch his young beau suffer.

That was a good 24 hours ago, and Baekhyun has been sleeping very peacefully since, even during the moments his wrist bandages were changed did his cute little bambi boy utter a squeak. There is thankfully no infection on those brutal skin lesions and the swelling is going down. His bambi boy is even now just down to a saline drip and without the oxygen tube under his nose. Outwardly he's healing really well, inwardly is another story, the screams of his precious Jewell's night terrors have woken more than half the manor. Not that anyone would say anything, he would certainly make sure any fool stupid enough to complain would be stumbling out of his doors, but he would be lying if he wasn't worried for his bambi boy's health.

"Chanyeol?"

Turning away from his precious Jewell's sleeping face he comes face to face to find Yixing standing n the doorway. He beckons him forward but points out his very much a sleep lover, before placing his own finger against his lips to ensure Yixing is quiet, relieved that the doctor seems to understand, before heading straight to his tiny delicate boyfriend. He watches with baited breath as Yixing pulls the monitoring cart towards him, it's deathly silent as he watches the man work. Yet it's just a few moment that passes as Yixing does his final observation and too his immense relief takes off the monitor and removes the drip.

"Does this mean Baekhyun is through the worst of it!"

"Yes his vitals are all normal, and his temperature is with in range, and his recent blood test is clean of the toxins from the tea! I will wait until he is awake to take out his cannula, I promise all is fine and for Baekhyun to be sleeping so long means his body is healing itself!"

"Now I just have to pray that mentally he will recover!"

"Baekhyun is strong Chanyeol, he has endured so much in his young life even before he met you, you remember his health record it was pretty scary stuff. Whilst we have reversed the majority of that and Baekhyun is out of the woods. He's had very little nourishment of late!"

"You know he despises those smoothies!"

"I know, what he needs now is protein so perhaps a berry chicken shake for when he wakes will be best!"

"Let's just not tell him Chicken is in it!"

"Normally I would scold you for going back on your word, but I think in this situation it would be best to leave out that small ingredient!"

"Thank you, have you an idea how long Baekhyun will remain asleep?"

"I'm not sure but I am positive there will not be a retreat of those awful six hours, I'm also positive there will be no withdrawal that he will face, whilst those drugs were toxic it wasn't manufactured drugs but a naturally potent blend of mushrooms and ancient tea leaves."

"The Fengs always did like to play dirty, it will not save what's left of that diabolical team."

"You have a plan for total retribution I assume!"

"Yixing how long have you been in my service? Of course I have plans for bringing that dirty empire to the ground. I have spoken to the police chief, he will soon be rounding up the scraps!"

"You work fast Chanyeol!"

"Not one of those white dragons will get away with what their master did, even the very bottom of the food chain will be rounded up! I've given over all the videos we uncovered in the casino, our own videos of the trafficking at the docs, the gambling at the restaurants, the corner side drug deals, all of it, has been handed over in exchange for our freedom and the money I drained from the casino. Money that now sits in Baekhyun's account for him to do with as he pleases!"

"You really are a Mafia King, you've annihilated an entire enemy with barely any effort!"

"Don't be fooled Xing, there's blood on my hands, I swore when Baekhyun was taken I would have vengeance my main fear now is that this beautiful innocent man will see me as one of those monsters. I'm not a good man Yixing, the last thing I want is to destroy what's left of my innocent bambi boy, I really don't want him tainted by this world I live in."

"Chanyeol what are you saying, this is unlike you you've always been so self assured, so unaffected by those cheap whores that tried anything to get your attention! Now I'm not calling our beloved Baekhyun anything of the sort for from it, but do you remember when you bought him here, you had a fire in your eyes that I had never seen. Yes I know at first I thought you had gone mad bringing Baekhyun here, yet you've conquered everything that's been thrown at you, and the biggest threat you've faced to keep him safe has been decimated."

"Thank you Yixing, there is no limit to what I will do to keep him safe, I know my father did the same for my mother for a small time before she was taken and he vowed to have no weakness from then on."

"Chanyeol loving someone is not a weakness, if anything it's made you more powerful, definitely more lethal too! You've even managed to command our units all from this room because you refuse to leave Baekhyun's side!

"I know I've earned the respect of all our men, and I plan to reward everyone, plus i never  back down Yixing , I never give up and I always come out on top!"

"Yes you do, now I'm going to head to the kitchen for the chef to make that protein shake!"

"Just make it a small one, then when your done can you assist Suho with anything left of the clean up, make sure too that any camera footage of my fight with Master Feng and Baekhyun's captivity is wiped from existence."

"Got it, now normally I would say to let a patient rest alone, but I think Baekhyun would appreciate you being much closer if you catch my drift. However no funny business Mr Park Baekhyun is definitely not up to that!"

"Go Yixing!"

It's odd how the impact of Yixing's words effect him, he finally feels like he can breathe, the last few days he's unleashed power and coat his own bare hands in blood in ways he never knew could. Now he feels like he's is able to relax in terms of those white dragons, nothing left of Fengs empire stands, he's gleefully taken it apart piece by piece. Finally his precious Jewells recovery is in sight too, and is no longer just a wish and dream. He didn't miss what Yixing said either, the very thought of being closer to his young jewel makes his skin tingle, teven he can't deny that baser instinct that always runs through his veins.

He's fully aware that he can't enact on the passion that he and Baekhyun share, he's not that type of monster, but he would be lying if he didn't crave the taste of that soft satin like skin. Yet he will remain chaste for the sake of his Jewell's recovery? It doesn't mean he won't feel that soft skin soon, but it will be purely for comfort. Determined to be as close as possible when Baekhyun wakes, he pushes the chair back to its original position. Making sure his phone and iPad are close by but set on silent he quickly strips out of the joggers and sweatshirts he's wearing, before grabbing from the bed side cabinet his basketball shorts and singlet hoping his own body heat will rouse his bambi boy quicker.

Gently he peels away the faux fur throw, and massively fluffy goose down duvet that has replaced his normal silk coverlet. A last minute purchase to aid his Jewell's recovery, he will recover Baekhyun with it soon as even still recovering his delicate jewel seeks out warmth like an octopus, he just needs to see and feel for himself agin that Baekhyun is indeed on the mend.

Ever so gently and slowly he settles into his side of the bed, before softly reaching out to tiny male beside him. The moment his fingers touch the silky smooth skin of his lover he has to resist the urge both to touch himself and keep in the sob that would rip from his throat if he let it. He maybe a feared powerful and ruthless mafiso to the outside world, but this tiny beautiful creature he accidentally stumbled upon that night in the club makes him feel both young but willing to give up his whole world just for his safety.

He shouldn't be proud of the amount of bloodshed on his hands, but he can't deny that he wouldn't do it again because he would. His only regret is that it took him so long to reach his precious love, and that he endured all that he had. He knows his love will have questions about what happened whilst he was under the influence of potent tea and mushrooms and he will answer everything he wants to know, no matter how much it will devastate Baekhyun.

He's more then prepared to be crux of support for whatever his bambi boy needs, for as long as he needs. It's selfish but he truly hopes his bambi boy can stomach his recovery.

With that thought in mind and unable to bare the distance, he caresses Baekhyun's soft porcelain cheek as he swiftly but as gentle as wave on the shore picks up his far too light lover and repositions his sleeping love so he's now resting over his lap and able to rest into his own chest, it's physically the closest they've been for days. That pins and needle feeling under his skin at not being close disappears like a bad fog in the air as does that last bit of dangerous anger. He won't think about his anger it will just lead to remembering the blood on his hands. Instead he will focus on the man in his arms, stroking his fingers through Baekhyun's gloriously think and soft locks he lets himself finally breathe.

The fight with the Fengs, truly over with once and for all, it won't mean peace but it's one less group he will have to contend with. Bending down he skins his lips over his precious Jewell's forehead, perhaps even Mafia King's get to have a happy ending, he's so deep in ideas and plans as he butterfly kisses Baekhyun that he doesn't realise his precious jewel is awake again.

Baekhyun's POV
Warmth is the first feeling he feels as his senses return to him, this warmth is almost the same as when he was last conscious. That heat was feverish and no matter how many times he tried to purge himself of the toxins in his body, that red hot heat never left him. Until now, the aches of his body aren't quite the same, his throat is parched and his stomach muscles ache with the intensity of throwing up, underlying that is the constant burn in his arms. With that he can feel the phantom feeling of both heavy iron cuffs and illusions of being touched by someone whom should never of been able to. He does panic for a moment over that touch, afraid that his rescue was nothing but a figment of his hallucinations.

Yet the more he feels that touch on his skin the more familiar it becomes, there's a distinctive warmth encasing him and as he nears consciousness again a very familiar sensual heady scent or expensive shower gel he would know in a heartbeat. He's positive if he had the energy he'd be crying, positive in fact that soon after he wills himself to wake he will be crying. The deep darkness and void of nothingness he welcomed is becoming lighter as his body relaxes in the heat that holds it. It's the first time he's felt safe in what feels like an age, he's so afraid that he's been out of it for longer then necessary, it's nothing to how terrified he is of his brave and powerful Mafia king not wanting him. He's aware that his manic thoughts are just the last vestiges of what ever drug Jimmy had given him. His brain and his heart both know if  his mighty man was tired of him, he would not of saved him.

A flash of a foggy memory invades his senses, the one of his powerful man carving up that strange Chinese man's small dick up like a juicy steak, no as his heart thumbs against his chest a man willing to have blood on his bare hands is not going to be sickened by him. He really does want to battle that part of him that wants to stay safe in the darkness, especially as his next blurt memories is of himself is throwing his guts up, whilst being unable to keep the bowl in his hand steady.  He must of looked an absolute mess, in fact as he continues to relax just he feels a bit clamy and grimy from everything he's endured.

That anxiety and the willingness to stay in the darkness he remembers when he first woke up in Chanyeol's bedroom doesn't quite feel so foreign. Physically he feels ten times better, he can't even feel that tube under his nose, and doesn't feel like he's hooked up anything as his fingers seem to also be encased in the arms of the man he loves. He's afraid to know the extent of torture he has suffered, a small part of him wants to know, but the larger of part of his brain and heart not willing to succumb to this darkness, thinks it's better left unsaid that ignorance is bliss.

As he wills himself mentally to fight through the fog of darkness, he's finally able to open his eyes, and for totally different reasons then the chaos in his subconscious does his heart skip a beat. Skipping a beat because his strong Mafia king is holding him like a precious Jewell he always calls him, yet that raw power seem to be defeated, he can tell his gorgeous man even with his eyes closed hasn't slept in what must be days. He closes his eyes as he feels the brush of those large lips against his forehead just to bask in the love he was so afraid would be long gone.

It slams into him like a tsunami would the shore of an unsuspecting harbour that whilst he's sure he's suffered some brutal and horrific experiences at the hands of a deranged pervert, his strong handsome lion of a man has had to endure their separation. He can't bare this and opens his eyes to see his man still holding him close but hunched over, wanting their reunion this time to be all the more sweeter. As Chanyeol is still preoccupied with peppering his forehead with kisses. He raises his hand, biting back a moan of pain as he forgot the wounds cause by the cuffs and the uncomfortable IV cannula still in his hand.

Raechung up slowly he gently holds his hand up against his mighty lion's cheek, unable to stop the sob when his strong powerful man's eyes finally lock on to his own. Seconds later he's engulfed fully against that hot hard chest he loves as Chanyeol gently stokes his hand down his back, whispering endless words of love in to his ear. He manages to croak out "is it over, am I truly free?"

It doesn't take Chanyeol long to gently reposition him so he's now gently half resting against that chest, he thought his libido would of died a death after being touched by someone other than the man he loves but he can feel a spark of something familiar and it gives him hope that he's not going to be damaged goods forever.

"Yes my bambi boy, it is done that pig and his accomplices are no more!"

"Thank you for always rescuing me, in so sorry I didn't listen to you that day in the safe house, I'd I had none of this would of happened!"

"Hush my love, like I said yesterday no one could of predicted what was about to happen my love, you are blameless in all of this!"

He smiles softly when he is handed a bottle of Fiji water with a straw, the relive of that water sluicing down his parched throat eases, one pain. He feels a bit embarrassed at the state he must look but the look in Chanyeol's eyes haven't changed there's still raw emotion filled with love and carnal desire that does make him throb but he's hit ready to acknowledge that just yet. As he watches his hand that he was resting on Chanyeol's cheek get gently cradled before a kiss is placed just above his Cannula.

Baekhyun has has so much going through his head right now it's still spins a bit, grateful that it's not so bright out by the shadow cast on the wall. The first pressing thing he wants to know. "How long have I been out!"

"Since you well sick 48 hours, but the whole ordeal has been over 7 days!"

"7 days, was I in Jimmys hands for 7 days!"

"Please don't work yourself up my Jewell, I won't lie it was far to long and the worst time of my life, but Jimmy had you out of my sight for 48 hours!"

A tear escapes him at how long he'd been in that awful man's clutches, whilst he knows he's not been raped. He's desperate to know what he fears has happened any way he can feel a dirty phantom trail over his skin that he fears will never leave!"

"Did he touch me where only you should?"

The hesitation and the pure fury in Chanyeol's eyes is all the answer he needs, he can feel a hot tears, one after the other escape at the knowledge his body is no longer a temple that only this  man has seen and touched. It's sickens him to know this all his own fault, he's not even sure why Jimmy became so obsessed with him, he's a nobody really.

"My precious bambi boy, I can feel you trembling what he did was disgusting and he has paid for it with his life. Do you remember what I said when you first woke up!"

"Something about never leaving?"

The trembling Chanyeol mentioned stops the moment Chanyeol once again starts stroking his hair and his legs are covers with a fluffy duvet he doesn't reconise. "That's right No one will ever be you my precious Jewell, you've bought such light to my dark world! You can never leave me, I won't allow it!"

He so overwhelmed that not for the first time he doesn't think he can live without this man "you say your bad man Chanyeol but you've become so important to me, will you stay with me forever, I don't need to be a secret let this dark world know just how dangerous you are. I will be your Jewell, your bambi boy for the rest of my life if you'll have me!"

"Byun Baekhyun are you proposing to me?"

Baekhyun feels an altogether together different emotion as he truly lets what his Mafia king sink in. After everything they have been through, it makes perfect sense and that void of darkness that threatened to consume him doesn't feel so dark, in fact he can see that pin point of light shining through, all because of this Mafia King!

"Yes! But I don't have a ring!"

"I will tattoo that statement anywhere you ask me!"

"Just love me and be patient with me Chanyeol that's all i want!"

"Then that's what you will have, and when the time is right at your feeling better we can show out love to the world."

"You will always have my heart, body and Soul!" Using what little strength he's regained Baekhyun places a kiss to those supple lips. He feels lightheaded but not because of drugs, or self loathing no now he's high on the feeling this raw powerhouse of man will be his for the rest of their lives.

"I would say we should get Champagne to celebrate, but Yixing is in the kitchens!"

"Oh god if I have to drink one of those nasty concoctions, I think it's only fair that you do too!"

Baekhyun never thought he would feel such joy, but the look on this Mafia Kings face at the mention of one Yixings smoothies is priceless.
