Draven POV

I finish my little chat with H. She is a peculiar woman, to say the least. She is very sexy but not the type to have in the house with Rhea. Rhea would find her dominant energy overwhelming. She would not be a good fit, but she is welcome to stay and help us with the Charlie problem.

I leave H with my guards to sort out a strategy for when Charlie comes. I want his head on a stick. He will not be bothering anyone again if he dares to come through my door or near my Rhea. H looks content with the men as I leave her to go check on my love, my Rhea.

I open the door to our bed chamber. I peak in on the sleeping Rhea. She is growing so big. It will not be long. I walk over to the bed and sit down on the side of the bed. I reach down and stroke her long hair. She moves a little as I gently touch the love of my life.

"My love, how are you feeling?" I whisper to her softly.

She moves over onto her back and stretches. She opens her eyes slowly. She finally, after trying to wake, looks up at me. She smiles a huge smile and kisses at me so sweetly.

"I feel like I am hungry and sleepy. My body is aching," Rhea says softly.

I lean down and kiss her sweet lips. "I will have you some food brought up. You need your rest," I say to her.

Her baby bump is unbelievable; I gently touch her baby bump. I smile, thinking about the beautiful babies we have created with all of our love and passion. "How much longer?" Rhea asks.

I think about it for a moment—I exam her baby bump. I can see tiny feet and hands moving around beneath her skin. "Oh my love, they are coming soon. I am ready to see them," I say to her.

She touches my hand on her baby bump. She smiles but is so uncomfortable. "I cannot wait either," she says.

"Rhea, I have to tell you some very important things. I need you to listen to me carefully, but I do not need you to get upset," I say to her.

She smiles at me. "Okay, my love, what is it?" Rhea asks me. She rolls over to her side to listen to me.

"Charlie is coming for you, well, at least he thinks he is coming for you. H and Pamela came here to worn us. Oh, and Tyler is here also. Of course, Tyler is down in the playroom, so he will not be of much help to us," I say to her.

Rhea reaches up and strokes my face. "I am not afraid of Charlie. I know that you will kill him if he comes near me," Rhea says.

"Do you remember Pamela and why I sent her away?" I ask her.

Rhea thinks for a moment. Her brow furrows as she is in deep thought. "I cannot remember her," Rhea says.

"Charlie's woman, the one he said was his sister. The woman you returned to him," I ask her?

"I remember all of that, but I do not know why you returned her," Rhea says.

"She came here to warn us and to protect you, her mistress. She wants your forgiveness," I say to her.

"Do you forgive her?" Rhea asks me.

"I do, but I am not the one she hurt; that was you. It is up to you if she can return to us," I say to her.

"What did she do?" Rhea asks me.

I take Rhea's hand. "If you do not remember yet, I do not want to upset you. You are too close to having the babies. You need to conserve your energy for the babies," I say to her.

"Tell me!" Rhea raises her voice to me.

"Pamela tried to come between us. It was all innocent and misguided by Soul and Damien. It was one of the reasons you left. You thought, well, Rhea, you thought I had given her a child, but I never touched her in that way, even though she tried. I kept her in bondage after you left and even after I was forced into the dark corridors of my own bondage. She was punished severely for her actions against both of us," I say to her.

"If she was punished for what she did to us by you and if you forgive her, then I can forgive her also. At least I can forgive her now. When I remember, that may change," Rhea says to me.

"I told her I forgive her, but she had to be forgiven by you before she can return to her mistress. You were fond of her at one time. Do you remember any of that?" Draven asks me.

"No, I do not remember any of that, Draven," Rhea says.

"She was your favorite. You enjoyed her very much as I watched the two of you, temptress," I say to her.

There is a gentle knock on the door as I am talking to Rhea. "I do not feel like seeing anyone right now," Rhea says.

"You do not have to see anyone, right now, my love. I will bring you something to eat; sleep for now," I say to her.

I kiss Rhea sweetly on the forehead. I get up from the bed. She closes her eyes and goes back to sleep immediately. I did not want to tell her but judging from her baby bump's size and tiredness, the babies are coming within the next day.

I go to the door and open it. H is standing outside the bed chamber door. I look at her with disapproval. No one is to be near Rhea without my authority. It is unacceptable.

"Why are you up here, Miss H?" I scold her.

H looks at me equally frustrated with me as I am with her. "Look, Draven, I am not one of your whores; remember I came here to help you," H says to me.

I laugh and then stop abruptly. I touch her short spikey hair. "Oh sweetie, you are not my type," I snap at her.

"I came up here to tell you that Charlie has been spotted. He is waiting for dark, I assume. We have a plan," H says to me.

"Yes, what is your plan, Miss H?" I ask her.

"I think we should go quiet in the house, let him come to us, and then we kill the punk-ass bastard," Miss H says, smiling from what she thinks is an excellent idea.

"And what if he gets to Rhea," I ask her.

"You stay with Rhea, Pamela, and I will kick his ass; besides, I want to fuck him up personally for what he did to Pamela," H says.

I look at her, puzzled. "What exactly did he do to Pamela?" I ask.

"He beat her and tried to rape her all while she cried for her mistress and master," H says to me.

"Well, then, let me get you some help. I do not condone this kind of behavior. I want my people taking care, not treated in such a fashion," I say.

"Didn't you kick her to the curb?" H asks me.

"She deserved it for what she did to Rhea and me," I bark back at H.

"People make mistakes, Draven. It is time to get over it," H says to me.

"I agree. The women will help you. They will protect Rhea. They love her. She is a kind mistress to them," I say.

"I do not know what kind of weird shit you got going on here, but I am happy to help Pamela, and I want that bastard to pay for his part in all of this," H says to me.

"Oh, he will," I say.

Miss H and I walk down the stairs. Pamela is waiting to see if Rhea will see her. I go to Pamela. "Listen, Rhea is not feeling well, and she does not want to see anyone, but she is ravenous. If you would like to prepare her a meal and take it up to her, I think she would appreciate it very much," I say to Pamela.

"I will take care of anything the mistress need, Master Draven. I will take care of it immediately," Pamela says.

Pamela rushes off to the kitchen to take care of preparing Rhea something to eat.

"What is going on with Rhea?" H asks me.

"She is about to give birth to my babies," I answer her.

Miss H looks shocked. "Did you say babies?" she asks.

"Yes, babies. I am a special breed of a sex demon, and we are having babies. It is my gift to her and our love," I say.

H looks me over. "You must have something very potent going on there, Draven," H says to me.

"Yes, and it is only for Rhea. No one else will ever receive my gifts," I say to H.

"I am going to go get Tyler." H says.

I stop her. "I would not; I think he is enjoying himself very much," I say with a laugh.

"What if we need him?" H asks me.

"We will not need him. Remember I have you a small army, "I say to her.
