“You did it.” Janaina’s voice barely registered as I turned and hugged Rayhan tightly, breaking into soft sobs. His arms tightened around me, caressing my hair as he gently rocked me.
“It’s going to be okay,” he whispered.
I didn’t know if he even knew what happened, but all I needed was his comfort, his embrace… his love. He was probably the only person who could ever understand me so deeply.
He shifted my position, making me straddle him as I hugged him tighter. He kissed the side of my face, my salty tears on his lips. I looked into his eyes, and he stood up. Cupping my thighs, he carried me from the cave.
Neither of us spoke. He simply walked away until we were a distance away, when he finally sat down on the ground, placed me in his lap and wrapped his arms around me tightly as if shielding me from the entire world – my safe place.
I clutched onto his shirt, letting my emotions out. He whispered words of comfort and sweet nothings. Not once did he stop caressing my hair, placing soft kisses on my cheeks, lips, nose, forehead, and head.
My comfort.
I didn’t knowwhen I stopped crying or when I had fallen asleep, but when I opened my eyes, we were still sitting there, his jacket also wrapped around my shoulders. It was still warm, but night had fallen, and a cool wind was blowing.
“I’m sorry…” I whispered.
“Don’t be,” he said softly, cupping my face and kissing my lips sweetly. I looked into his grey eyes that held such love for me and smiled.
“Won’t you ask me why I’m crying?” I asked softly.
“No, because I know when you are ready, you will tell me,” he replied. I rested my head against his shoulder, inhaling his soothing scent, and closed my eyes. I remained silent for a bit before I spoke,
“After I cut the connection between Endora and Raihana, I decided to send her to a place she can’t try to return from… she was hell-bent on returning, so I had to be sure… and then… I met her…” I whispered, my tears threatening to leak from my eyes once more.
“Your mother?” he asked softly.
I looked up at him and nodded. He cupped my face, kissing me passionately, and I kissed him back, my heart racing as I sobbed against his lips. He tried to move back, but I refused, kissing him until I needed air. His arms enclosed me once more.
“I’m sure she was happy to have been able to meet you,” he whispered. I nodded.
“She looked happy,” I whispered.
“I’m sure she’s looking down on you… and I’m sure she’s happy her beautiful daughter is alive and living her life.” I simply nodded, unable to speak.
A comforting silence fell between us, and only when we heard footsteps did we turn.
“I’m sorry… but you used a lot of your magic. I brought food,” Raihana said softly. I looked up and moved away from Rayhan, standing up. She smiled, placing the large plate down before standing straight once again.
“Thank you. You took a big risk for me,” she said softly.
“For us all,” I corrected.
We smiled at each other before hugging each other tightly. A shaky laugh left her, and I couldn’t help but smile. We were both free.
“I’m kind of jealous that you made her smile.” Rayhan’s sexy voice made us break apart. We exchanged looks before bursting into laughter at the jealous pout on his face.
“Oh, come on, I might make her smile, but I’m sure you make her experience a whole lot more,” Raihana said, sitting down.
I smirked before climbing into my Yum Yum’s lap. His eyes widened in surprise at the look on my face, and I knew I had shifted. I smiled seductively, subtly pressing down on his dick.
“A whole lot more,” I said, tracing a finger over his lips.
“Fuck, Kitten,” he muttered, throbbing hard. Raihana giggled as she picked up a sandwich piece.
“I’m so hungry… for sandwiches!” I said, about to pull away when his eyes flashed.
“I don’t think so, Kitten,” he murmured huskily, one hand tangling in my hair as he pulled me closer, his other arm tightening around my waist. I loved when he became dominating.
