“It isn’t about hurting her, it’s about trust.” Aeon’s muffled voice broke the silence. “She trusts us to give her what she needs and wants without pushing her over the edge.”

“Just like I trust you when I need something sweet, it’s just a different part of me you all call to,” I said, hoping that explained it enough.

“Ok, but if I need to kick some ass, let me know because I will gladly do it,” Lucien said, moving closer to me, throwing his arm around Aeon and me.

My eyes gathered with tears at the immense sense of belonging I felt to both of them. I didn’t realize I had been crying until Lucien looked at me with concern.

“Kit Kat, what’s wrong?”

“I just.... my family... I’ve never felt...” I cried, feeling completely idiotic for crying at a moment where I should be happy. “I’ve never felt like I belonged and now, it’s a lot.”

“You feel like you’re home.” Aeon squeezed me.

“You feel accepted,” Lucien said, wiping the tears off my face.

“I feel loved,” I whispered, feeling way too exposed.

Aeon lifted his head from my back, laying me on my back, when he stilled at the light filtering in the room. The realization hit me at the same time. Aeon had woken up to see the sun rise. He turned his head slowly to the window, sitting up at the same time.

“Goddess, I’ve missed the sun,” he whispered.

“How are you feeling?” Lucien’s arm came in front of me in a protective gesture.

“Like I’ve been given a gift I don’t deserve.” He pulled the covers off of himself, walking to the window.

The sky was changing from pinks and oranges to blues. He stood in front of the window completely naked, showing off his perfect ass. He looked like a painting I’m sure Lucien would be itching to draw.

I threw the covers off of me, feeling the chill in the air, but I wanted to touch him, and hold him in this beautiful moment. I laid my hand on his back, startling him, making him look back at me. The tears in his eyes caught me off guard.

He picked me up in a hug, spinning me around.

“Thank you for this gift, I don’t know how or if you are doing it but thank you,” he whispered in my ear.

I didn’t know what to say, but I continued to hold him tightly. He stopped spinning us, turning me around so my back was to his front when I felt another hand caress my side. I squirmed because it tickled, but when I heard them kissing, I couldn’t help but turn around, admiring how fucking sexy they looked together.

They made me squirm with my lust for them both, but I turned back around giving them a moment together. They had waited long enough to be together, and I wanted them to continue to have a relationship.

“Aeon, it’s ok.” Lucien’s voice made me turn around again.

Aeon had tears falling down his face. I panicked, thinking something had gone wrong.

“I’ve been such a fool.” Aeon looked at Lucien and then at me, with more tears. “I spent so long pushing you away, both of you. I thought that it was the right thing to do, but I could have been enjoying both of you this entire time. I… I… I’m so sorry.”

“Aeon, don’t dwell in the past. What matters is that we are here together,” Lucien said, cupping his face, wiping his tears.

“There is no point in thinking of the past, we have to move forward,” I said, grabbing his hand and kissing it. “Enjoy the sunrise before the curse calls you and if you need to, we can talk about this later. I’m just happy we finally got here.”

“She’s right, let’s enjoy it in bed and…”

A knock on the door interrupted Lucien.

“I have breakfast,” Mr. Potter called from the other side of the door, and I laughed.

“Give us a minute!” Aeon yelled back. “I just want to say I’m sorry it’s taking me so long.”

“You don’t have to apologize.” Lucien kissed Aeon softly. “Like Katarina said, we are happy you got here.”

Aeon looked down at me, kissing me softly before kissing Lucien.
