Chapter 330: Attack on Annalise (Part Three)
Somehow the long night passed, and morning arrived with a new day. The Winter Solstice Festival was finally over, and so were the carefree days of Annalise and the people around her.
Annalise woke up with a start, her heart still pounding from the attack of the previous night. It had taken her hours to fall asleep, and the only reason she was able to sleep at all was the presence of her husbands. Damien and Kenric didn’t leave her side even for a mere second and their presence was the only comfort she could have relied on.
Valerius had promised to return quickly, and true to his word, he did arrive after an hour and joined her on the bed, pulling her immediately into his arms and enveloping her in his warmth and protection.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when Kenric brushed his fingers down her cheek, removing a loose curl from her face and tucking it behind her ear.
"Are you feeling better now, Little Bird?" He asked while wrapping one of his hands around her waist and pulling her closer to him till the point her body was pressed against his.
Annalise slowly nodded her head before resting her face in the crook of his neck and inhaling his familiar scent.
"You better keep those pretty lips of yours away from my neck, Little Bird. They make me think things... very indecent things." His voice came out deeper than usual, almost like a growl. But the way his hand pressed the back of her head and pulled her face closer to his throat, went completely against his warning.
"Now I wish I could replace places with Kenric."
Damien’s familiar voice made Annalise pull away from Kenric and turn to look at her other two husbands.
