Chapter 80 Stress; Emotions

When I had reoriented myself from being teleported by Tama I saw next to me Darwin, all tucked in.

It was after I had glanced at Darwin that I turned my head to Tama all the while leveling a glare against her.

"What happened?" I quietly said as to not wake Darwin. Still there was an edge to my voice to make sure that my anger was made clear.

The last thing I knew before being teleported was that I was doing what Darwin had planed when Tama out of nowhere grabbed me and teleported both myself and Darwin out of there. She gave me no time to protest or at least ask what had happened. The only thing that I knew was that something drastic had happened that required Tama's intervention.

"My lord almost died, I extracted you and my lord out of there."

"What!"

Not caring for my voice I shouted out loud however it seems I was lucky as I had not woken Darwin, it was then that panic overcame me as I hurried to Darwin's side to check for wounds. With shaky hands I hurriedly undressed Darwin, looking around his torso I only saw pink skin.

The wound was already healed but I could not help but notice where the wound I found was. Right next to his heart only a couple of inches off. If it was just a couple inches to the right Darwin would have been dead.

My legs felt weak, I looked at my hands and noticed a visible shiver overcoming them. My legs fell, the strength taken from them. Horror filled my face as I realized how close Darwin was to death.

"I- I could have- could have l- l- lost him" I kept on stuttering, I felt dizzy, the words not coming out of my mouth.

My vision was getting blurry and I could feel a wetness drip down my face. Wiping it I found my hands wet with tears, my own.

With what strength I had left in my limbs I lowered myself down and cuddled with Darwin laying my whole body on him.

My head on his chest so that I could hear his heartbeat.

With that I lost all strength.

…

It seemed like Aoif had calmed down, enough that she had fallen asleep.

It seemed like the shock of how close my lord was to death had exhausted her enough to knock her out.

I wasn't able to inform Aoif that my lord would have been fine even if he had been stabbed in the heart.

I was too shaken up. Even if intellectually I knew that my lord was not in danger of dying, it still was a shock to see my lord be so wounded.

My instincts as a Kitsuen were telling me to wrap him up in my tails and never let him go. When I had given him my virginity I had unconsciously bonded to him, now my instincts just regarded him as my mate.

It took constant effort to maintain the face of a loyal subordinate and not jump

However looking at the two cuddling right now it wouldn't hurt to give in for a minute.

…

'I'm weak' I think while cuddling the two.

I had tried to resist the thought but the urge was too strong.

I held the Aoif in my tail, making sure that she could cuddle it while I took Darwin for myself.

The only reason that Aoif was getting anything to cuddle was so that she would not wake up at the lack of Darwin's warmth.

Once I had made sure that Aoif was settled and hugging my tail, I focused my full attention on Darwin.

Looking at the way he slept, the rise and fall of his chest. I couldn't help myself, he looked too delicious.

Licking my lips I bring his body into my bosom then angle his head so that I could steal his lips.

Darwin still hadn't woken up, despite my ministrations upon his body. I couldn't help myself and started kissing all around Darwin's body.

I only stopped when his brows started to furl, a sign that my lord was starting to wake.

Quickly not wanting to be found out I erase the marks that I had made while suckling all around his body then place him and Aoif down.

All the while I had teleported outside the room.

…

When I woke up I twitched ready to find myself captured or at the very least injured heavily however instead of the worst case scenarios that had swirled around in my head I found myself cuddling Aoif. Her head was on my chest, listening to my heartbeat.

Aoif must have sensed the rapid spike in my heartbeat or maybe I had woken her up somehow, whatever it was it had woken Aoif up.

"Nnn" Aoif let out a cute noise before opening her eyes only to come into contact with my own gray eyes.

A cheeky look overcame her as she stole my lips then immediately got up pulling me into her lap all the while.

Though that smile that was on her lip was fine immediately after she pulled me into her lap facing towards her.

Now that I was looking at Aoif's face I could see tear marks running down her face.

"Are you alright?" I softly asked, running my hand over her face, petting it.

A fierce look bloomed on her face at my question, my wrist was grabbed and using that grip pulled me into her chest.

"Am I fine?!" She angrily asked before continuing, "No are you fine, I saw the wound"

I tried to push Aoif away so that my head wasn't buried in her chest and I could actually respond, but it didn't seem like Aoif wanted an answer as she tightened her grip, hugging me even closer.

After a while I could feel drops of liquid softly falling on my head.

I hugged Aoif back, quietly rubbing her back as she cried into my head.

Eventually her grip slackened and I could pull myself free.

However I didn't, I let her fall asleep in my arms then switched our positions lightly so as not to wake Aoif up.

Gently I pet her hair making sure that she could still hold onto my body even in her sleep.
