"Ava?? Fuck. Are you alright? Wake up, wake up!"
My blurred vision doesn't subside and I'm struggling to orientate myself, hearing a voice as though it's echoing through a tunnel.
But I'm awake. I'm alive.
He lets out a sigh of relief, too, and I feel his strong hands lifting me up, carrying me effortlessly up the stairs.
I'm in and out of consciousness, but I know it's him the moment my arms wrap around his neck, nuzzling in his safety.
Sebastian.
Passing the bedrooms, I notice Adam and August are safe and fast asleep. And my nerves start to settle.
"What are you doing here?" I ask groggily, feeling Sebastian carefully remove my dress and help me into a cotton tee and shorts before moving my body onto the bed.
"Mama had a feeling... she told me to come check up on you and thank God I did. Was it him? Are you hurt?"
I nod to both, "But I'm ok. I thought he was... I thought he was going to kill me." Or worse.

"Eww. I have a vagina remember?"
"Yeah. One I'm very curious about since you've got all these men in a spin."
"Fuck off. Go sleep on the couch." I giggle, thankful that he's here.
"Yes ma'am. Besides, I'd hate to get on James's bad side. Although... Daddy James definitely looks like he is a bad bad boy in the best of ways."
