Kael's POV
Keeping Raven in his place on the bed, and covering him with a warm blanket, I turned to Eira, "Get in."
She got on the bed and I covered her as well. She turned to Raven and started to gently pat his head, her expressions soft.
Turning off the lights, I climbed the bed as well and slept next to her. She didn't mind; it seemed as if she had already expected me to sleep next to her.
I slid my hand under her neck and the other wrapped around her as I left no distance between us. Her slender body pressed against my muscular one. How small she felt when I held her like this. So fragile, as if anything could break her easily. How must have her small body endured all that abuse for so many years.
Even after I knew what I did with her that night in the hotel, I had no intention of staying away from her, Staying away wouldn't wash that pain away, so I could only make up for it by showing my love and affection to her.
