♥ Chapter 46♥

Yara Voss. 

But what now? How am I going to face Magnus and Damien after this? I know they're all in this together... but just imagining the three of them desiring me, possessing me, I feel a wave of heat rise through my body. I don't know if I'm ready for this. And the fear is still there, haunting my thoughts. Will it hurt? How do I talk about this with them? How do I explain that although I want to surrender, I am also afraid?

I get out of the shower, still lost in these thoughts, and quickly put on my pajamas. My heart is still racing, and I don't know how I'm going to face them after everything that's happened. I let out a sigh and leave the bathroom, heading to the bed, still thinking. I sit on the edge, trying to calm down, but my body remains sensitive, as if I can still feel his touch.

Furthermore, I take a deep breath, trying to organize my thoughts. I have to figure out how to deal with this with them. Even with the fear, I know I want more. More than they have to offer. More than just a moment in the dressing room.

I just need to find the courage to tell them that.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of the door opening. My heart races, knowing it's them coming back. The sound of their voices already fills the room, and my body reacts immediately, a wave of nervousness taking over me. I'm not ready to face them. Not yet. The shame of what happened in the dressing room still consumes me, as if it were written all over my face.

Without thinking twice, I throw myself on the bed and cover myself, pretending I'm sleeping. Maybe if I stay quiet enough, they'll believe it. My heart beats so fast I'm afraid they'll hear it, but I try to control my breathing, making it feel steady, like I'm actually asleep.

''Our baby is already sleeping. '' I hear Magnus' soft voice. ''How fast. Well, have sweet dreams, my love.

I feel the bed sink slightly next to my body, and then a kiss is placed on my head. The gesture is so affectionate that it almost makes me open my eyes. My heart races even more, but I remain still, hoping they believe.

Soon, I hear Damien laughing softly.

''Yes, she deserves to have sweet dreams. '' he says, with that soft tone that always makes me feel protected.

Just like Magnus, he comes over and kisses my head tenderly. My whole body heats up with the gesture, and I feel my cheeks burning under the blanket. God, I'm really not ready to face them right now. Just imagining it, shame consumes me.

''She looks exhausted. '' I hear Magnus whisper to Damien.

''It really must be, after that scene in the dressing room. '' Damien responds with an amused but low tone. ''She must be tired.

I feel my face burn instantly. My mind explodes with shame. They know! My God, they know! Kael told them. It can't be! My heart starts beating so fast, I feel like it's going to jump out of my chest. I try to remain calm, but the shame consumes me completely. They knew what happened in the dressing room, and now, they were talking about it as if it were the most normal thing in the world!

''Tomorrow will be a new day. '' Magnus mutters, apparently not noticing my panicked state. I hope so!

I feel on the verge of losing control, wanting to disappear under the covers. How am I going to be able to face them now? My face feels too hot, and no matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about the embarrassing situation I'm in. Pretending I'm asleep seems like the only way to avoid this conversation.

Once again, the bed moves slightly as they get up. I hear soft footsteps around the room and the muffled sound of clothes being taken off. My heart races and for a moment I think that maybe, just maybe, I managed to get out of this situation without having to face them. Then, I hear Kael's voice.

''Is she sleeping? ''Kael ask.

My body reacts instantly. My heart starts racing again, and I feel the heat rising to my face again. He counted! He told everything! The simple fact that he revealed to his brothers what happened in the dressing room leaves me completely disconcerted. I try to control my breathing, making it as calm as possible, but I know I'm failing miserably.

''Yes.'' Damien responds, with that calm tone. ''Poor thing, she is exhausted.

''Well...'' Kael mutters. ''She deserves to rest.

I swallow hard, trying to keep still. The sound of Kael's footsteps approaches, and my heart pounds so hard I'm sure he can hear it. The bed dips slightly beside me, and my entire body tenses. I expect any provocative comments, but to my surprise, he just leans in and places a soft kiss on the top of my head.

''Sleep well, Yara. '' he whispers, with a tenderness that completely disarms me.

Finally, he stands up, and I can breathe a little easier. For now, they believe I'm asleep.
