♥ Chapter 34 ♥
Magnus Darkmore.
Five days have passed since Yara's divorce. The change in his face is remarkable, and the joy he radiates is contagious. It's impressive to see how lighter and happier she is. Every time I see her like this, my heart warms, and I can't help but move closer to kiss her. Since the divorce was finalized, we have all made a point of showing our affection for her, and with each passing day, our Yara becomes even more a part of our lives.
During these five days, we have taken advantage of every opportunity to be close to her. Yara continues to work at our house, something she insists on doing. We said it was just her whim, and honestly, we didn't care. She seems to find comfort and purpose in that, and we respect her choices.
Damien, always attentive, presented Yara with a new cell phone. At first, she was visibly uncomfortable. It was difficult for her to accept the gift, and upon hearing her words, we were a little disconcerted. Yara mentioned that she is not with us out of interest, and we know that she carries traumas that make her doubt the genuineness of our gestures. Damien, with his background in psychology, has been talking to her often, offering advice and trying to help heal those emotional wounds.
Yesterday, while talking to my brothers, I had an idea. I have an event in Paris, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to take Yara with us. She can learn a little more about the world and also relax. Damien immediately agreed to the idea, and he and Kael began organizing to make sure everything was in order for the trip.
Now, I'm in my office. I didn't go to work at the company today, but that doesn't mean I'm off work. I'm taking the time to prepare for the trip and make sure all the details are worked out. The idea of taking Yara to Paris excites me. It's not only a chance for her to explore a new place, but also for the four of us to spend more time together, deepening our bond even further.
As I review documents and make some calls, I can't help but think about how this trip could be a significant milestone for us. It's an opportunity for us to show Yara that our dedication to her is true and that we are committed to building something lasting.
I continue adjusting the papers on my desk. I feel a mixture of anxiety and excitement.
I hear soft knocks on the door.
''Come in. '' I say, while continuing to smooth out some papers on the table.
When the door opens, a spontaneous smile appears on my lips when I see Yara entering. She carries a tray with a snack and offers a shy smile.
''I hope I'm not bothering you. '' she says, with a tone of concern. ''Mrs. Thompson told me to bring this to you.
''It's not bothering you at all. '' I respond with an encouraging tone. '' Come.
He approaches and places the tray carefully on the table. I take the moment to hold her hand, pulling her around the table and settling into my lap. She laughs in surprise.
''I have to go back to work. '' He says, trying to maintain a serious tone, but happiness shines through his voice.
''I am the boss. '' I say softly. ''Then, I order you to stay here with me.
She lets out a light laugh, and I take the opportunity to brush a strand of hair away from her face, feeling the softness of her skin.
''You are so beautiful, my angel. '' I say, noticing the slight blush on her cheeks.
I pull her face closer and kiss her—an intense and wild kiss. I feel the passion and desire rushing through me as our lips meet with an urgency I can barely control. In the middle of the kiss, a wave of possessiveness and obsession hits me: she is ours, finally ours. That thought becomes an overwhelming certainty in my mind. If anyone dares to try to take it from us, I will not hesitate to stain my hands with blood to protect what is ours.
Every touch and every breath we share in this kiss intensifies the certainty that she belongs to us. The thought that any threat could arise to tear us apart makes me even more determined to keep you safe and by our side. Even that bastard, Ronan, if he tries anything, I'll kill him myself. He was a huge pain in the ass, and now that she's ours, I won't let anyone, not even him, get in our way.
When we finally break apart, panting, I run my thumb gently over her lips.
''Have a trip planned. '' I say, trying to change the subject. ''I have an event in Paris, and I want you to come with me. My brothers will also be coming.
''I... I've never left this country before. I don't know. '' She says, her voice filled with uncertainty and a slight tremor. I see the anxiety in his eyes—a mixture of fear, which is completely understandable.
I gently pull her hand and place it in my lap, looking at her with tenderness and understanding.
'' Fine, my love. I understand how intimidating this can be. '' I say in a soft, comforting voice. ''But know that we will be with you every step of the way. Paris is an incredible city, and I want you to discover its beauty and magic with me.
I run my thumb affectionately over the back of his hand and continue:
''We want you to have fun, meet new people, have fun, and enjoy this experience. It's an opportunity to relax and leave your worries behind. My brothers and I will be by your side, taking care of you and making sure everything is perfect.
I make an expression of supplication, with a smile that tries to convey all the affection and desire I feel for her.
''So, will you agree to go with us? I promise it will be an unforgettable experience, and we will do everything to make you feel special and loved.
She seems to loosen up a little, and the smile starts to light up her face. It's a smile that makes my heart race and fills me with indescribable happiness. However, when I see that smile, a possessive thought settles in me: I want that smile, that sparkle in the eyes, to be exclusively ours. It belongs only to me and my brothers. No one else should have the privilege of seeing it, only we have the right to enjoy the joy it offers us. That smile is a symbol that she is finally where she belongs, by our side, and no one else can touch her.
''Alright, I accept. '' she responds, with a genuine smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
This trip is a perfect time to deepen our connection and show her how much we want and value her.
