The renovations to what will be our new room are finally finished. The guys and I spent the morning making sure everything was in order and now that we’re satisfied with it, we’re ready to show her. We searched the house for her and came up empty handed.
“Where the hell is she?”
“I’ll call Brooks, he should be on her guard roster today“, Tony says as he pulls out his phone.
“She’s in the back garden.”
We head through the house, down the stairs and along the pathway to the garden my mother ance loved. We see Brooks and a few other guards fanned out around her but out of sight.
“What’s she doing?” I ask him as we approach.
“I have no idea. I was going to call you before Tony rang. She’s just been laying there in the grass for about an hour now. Hasn’t even blinked, Jjust staring at the sky.
“She might be experiencing a bit of a sub drop.” Matteo says as he comes up behind us.
“A sub drop?”
“Yeah, you know, keeping up with you three at once would bring her to such a high that she’s not used to, just to be brought back down to reality. It’s a BDSM thing, but I reckon it might be applying here. Try some aftercare. Sooth her, ground her, tend to her.”
I look at Tony and Luca so see they’re processing the information as we slowly walk up to our girl and sit near her.
“Hey, Angel…are you okay?”
She turns her head to look at me and shakes her head.
“Would you like a hug?”
She nods slowly and I reach out to lift her into my lap.
“Can we hug you too, Princess?”
She nods into my chest that she’s buried her face in and Tony and Luca shuffle closer and we all sit with our arms around her and our heads. resting on different parts of her body.
“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours, honey?” Tony asks quietly.
“Everything, and nothing at all…I don’t know what to do now that I’m not fighting for my life.” She sniffles and I pull her head back to wipe some tears she’s been silently crying.
*You just learn to enjoy it, with us hopefully.” I say kissing her forehead. We sit and cuddle for a while, I draw circles on her back while Tony runs his fingers in her hair and Luca has opted to lay in her lap and force her to play with his hair which makes her giggle.
“We have a surprise for you, Angel, if you’re up for it?”
“A surprise? Is it a puppy?!”
“Why, do you want a puppy?” Luca asks, looking up at her. Probably worried we made the wrong decision in her surprise.
She shrugs, “I mean, I wouldn’t say no to a puppy….
*Noted. Buy puppies.” Tony says as he pretends to write a list in the air which makes her giggl
giggle again.
Chapter 59
“Come on. Angel. I think you’ll like this just as much as a puppy.”
I carry her through the house, not willing to let her walk because why would I when I can carry her? She doesn’t protest and rests her head on my chest as we walk. Luca is almost skipping with his excitement and even Tony has a big goofy grin which only adds to her suspicion. We reach the dark wooden door and Luca covers her eyes.
“How am I meant to see the surprise?!”
Luca removes his hands and she gasps and wiggles out of my arms to settle her feet on the floor. Her eyes are on the massive, custom made bed in the center of the room. It’s a wooden four poster with black curtains tied neatly at the poles. It has a floating effect so that it can be accessed for any and all sides, making it easier for us all to get in and out of with a tangle of bodies, and also for certain positions to be made easier with four people. The curtains I thought she would like to be able to pull down when sleeping to give her a feeling of safety. She walks up to it and touches the deep red covers and then scans the rest of the room.
our room, Angel, for all of us to live in, together.”
