♥ Chapter 56 ♥

Yara Voss.

I wake up with a feeling of pain spreading throughout my body. Last night's intense night left me with a tiredness that is almost palpable. I feel every muscle and every fiber in my body protesting, as if I've been exposed to grueling training. The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is that only Kael is beside me.

I turn to my left side and let out a deep sigh, trying to settle down. My body is sore, and every movement feels like a challenge. Kael looks at me with a soft smile.

'' Good afternoon, my love. '' he says, his voice gentle and comforting. '' Did you sleep well?

I blink a few times, trying to organize my still-confused thoughts.

''I don't remember sleeping. '' I respond with a tired sigh.

Kael laughs softly, but the intense gleam in his eyes suggests there's something more.

''You ended up passing out as soon as Magnus finished fucking you. She was so tired that she ended up blacking out. We are so sorry, my love. It was his first time, and we ended up losing control.

I give a small smile, trying to find some comfort in his words.

''Okay...'' I admit, I'm still a little embarrassed. ''To be honest, I really liked it. It hurt a little, but then it felt good.

Kael smiles at me, a tender look that makes me feel a little better.

''And now, I can't move properly. My whole body is sore. '' I say, feeling the pain in every part of my body.

He laughs softly and leans in, kissing my forehead lovingly.

''We will take care of you. Damien went to buy some medicine, and Magnus went with him. They should be back soon.

Kael gets up from the bed and walks around. Carefully and gently, he picks me up and begins to carry me to the bathroom.

''I'll give you a bath. '' announces with a gentle smile. ''Now you need some care and affection.

In the bathroom, Kael lovingly prepares the bath water, ensuring the temperature is perfect. He gently places me in the tub, the warm water enveloping my body in a welcoming manner.

Kael begins to wash my body with gentle, careful movements, applying a mild soap that has a pleasant scent. He is gentle when touching my skin, and the way he cares for me is full of affection and attention. Every touch is comforting, and I feel loved and cared for like never before.

While he washes my body.

The feeling of being carefully washed and cared for by Kael makes the physical pain lessen a little. He is meticulous, ensuring that every part of my body is thoroughly cleaned without rushing or forcing.

After a while, Kael finishes the shower and helps me out of the tub. With genuine affection, he dries me with a soft, enveloping towel. His touches are gentle and careful, and every movement is made with the intention of making me feel better.

He helps me brush my teeth. I look at my reflection in the mirror, surprised to see the state of my body.

'' My God! You left my entire body marked. ''Since my skin is white, it becomes very visible.

''We are very sorry about this, my angel. You are too delicious. ''I feel my face heat up.

''Kael... Please. '' He laughs. 

''I will calm down, my love. ''He carries me out of the bathroom. 

''I will choose a very comfortable outfit for you, my love. '' says, while deciding something to use myself. Decide on a simple and comfortable dress, then help me put it on, and then we go to bed. ''There, my angel.

Kael carefully places me on the bed, making sure I'm comfortable and well covered. He sits next to me and looks at me tenderly.

''Thank you, Kael,'' I say, feeling deep relief at his affection.

He gives me a soft kiss on the lips.

''You don't have to thank me, my love.

Just then, I hear the door open and see Damien and Magnus entering the room. They approach with expressions of concern.

''How are you, Yara? '' asks Damien, looking at me carefully.

''I'm fine, just a little sore. '' I respond, trying to put on a reassuring smile.

Damien walks over to a nearby table and grabs a glass of water and a small flask. He returns to my bed and hands me the medicine.

''Here, my love. '' he says, handing me the bottle. ''This is an antibiotic. It will help prevent any infection and relieve pain.

I thank him and take the medicine with a sip of water. 

''Now that the event is over, we have nothing left to do here. We can come home when you're ready. '' Magnus says, looking at me with a mix of seriousness and affection.

I smile when I hear this, feeling a mixture of relief and longing.

''Paris is beautiful and wonderful, but I miss home. ''I say sincerely.

They give warm smiles.

''Then we will go home, my love. '' confirms Magnus, his tone full of affection.

He bends down and places a bag next to me. He opens it carefully and takes out a burger, fries, and a glass of Coca-Cola.

''Here, my love. '' says Magnus, placing the food in front of me. ''I know you have never experienced anything like this before. Eat some while we organize our things to leave.

My smile widens when I see the delicious food. I look at Magnus with gratitude.

''Thank you, Magnus. '' I say, my voice full of emotion.

He gives me a satisfied smile before joining Damien and Kael to start organizing things. While they work, I grab the burger and fries and take the first bite. The taste is incredible, Coca-Cola is refreshing, and it adds a perfect finishing touch to the meal.

They move around the room, folding clothes and packing suitcases.

As I finish eating, I lie back on the bed with a sigh of contentment. Magnus, Kael and Damien finish packing everything and get closer again.

''Ready to go home? '' asks Magnus.

''Yes, I can't wait. '' I reply. ''Let’s go home.

They help me get up, seeing that I couldn't move properly, Damien picks me up, scaring me a little, but I soon lay my head on his shoulder. 

As I feel comfortable in Damien's arms, I can't help but think about the difference between what I'm experiencing now and what I've experienced in the past with Ronan. With him, I never really knew what it was like to be loved and cared for. Our relationship was abusive. But now, with Magnus, Damien and Kael, everything is different.

They care for me in ways I never imagined possible. They are loving and protective, and this constant attention makes me feel really special and valued. It's such a new and profound feeling for me, something I long for and has suddenly become such an essential part of my life.

I feel like I love them more than I thought I could love anyone. The way they dedicate themselves to me, the way they make sure I feel good and safe, makes me realize how much they mean to me. Every gesture of affection, every word of comfort, reinforces the love I feel for them. It's a genuine and deep connection, something I've been looking for a long time, and now I've finally found it.

''I love them'', I think, as I rest my head on Damien's shoulder. It's a feeling that wells up inside me, a truth that I can no longer ignore. They are my family now, and I can't imagine my life without them.
