Beautifully Imperfect {ON HOLD}

Chapter Seventeen: Aftercare Part Ⅰ

Lesso had left to start the bath while you sat wrapped in the blanket. Sitting up when Lesso comes back in the room, she moves to stand over you. Looking down at you with eyes full of love, she smiles softly. "You ready love?" She asks, caressing your cheek. You nod your head, moving to stand. Taking a step towards the bathroom your legs give out and you fall towards the ground. Closing your eyes you wait for your body to hit the cold stone floor, strong arms encircle your waist, pulling you flush to her body. "Easy darling, looks like I did my job well. Considering that you can't walk." she says a pleased smirk on her face. Your face heats up with Dean's words. Laughing quietly, she lifts you so that your legs are wrapped around her waist. You nuzzle your face into her neck, relishing in the skin to skin contact you are having with the older woman.

Gently placing you in the warm water, you groan as you feel your muscles relax. Lesso takes a seat on the edge of the tub. Looking at her, she is in her dress pants and black lace bra. You can't help but stare at her, "Enjoying the view darling?" She asks, snapping out of your trance. You nod your head, watching as the redhead stands making her way to the door. "Aren't you going to stay?" You asks your voice growing quiet as Lesso turns to face you. "Of course, let me just grab some clothes for us." Lesso says before walking out of the bathroom.

You relax into the bathroom, closing your eyes, letting the warm water ease your sore muscles. You hear a knock on the door to the bathroom, acknowledging Lesso, she comes back in. She places two sets of fresh clothes on the counter top before removing the rest of her clothes. You move forward to allow her to sit behind you. Wrapping her arms around your waist she pulls you back against her chest. Savoring the calm, sweet moment with the redhead, you close your eyes. Feeling her hand caressing your hair as she places small kisses on your head.

With your permission Nora gently washed your body and hair, before doing the same for herself Getting out, she wrapped a large towel around you. Using magic to dry your hair, she gives you the set of clothes letting you change before meeting her. She had given you a large sweatshirt, leggings and fluffy socks. Throwing your hair up, you made your way out of the bathroom. Lesso was now wearing more comfortable clothes considering it was late. Dark wash jeans and a large sweater was what she had decided on. "I'm going to grab you something to eat, would you like to come with or stay here?" "I'll stay if that's okay." You answer. "Of course darling, I'll be back soon." She said, kissing you on the head before making her way out of the room.

Sitting on Leonora's bed, you waited for her to come back. "Y/N..." Your head shot in the direction of the large mirror hanging on the wall. "Hello?" You asked, slowly walking towards the mirror. "Hello Y/N." A man said as he appeared in the mirror, his complexion was dark and he was wearing a large red coat. "Who are you?" "I'm Rafal, surely Leonora has told you about me?" You shake your head no, causing a sly smirk to appear on his face. "It's not very nice to keep secrets from people, is it?" You couldn't quite tell what he was getting at but the way he spoke made your stomach churn with uneasiness. "What do you want?" "I want you to stay away from Sophie, she has a destiny to fulfill and I can't have you ruining it, now can I?" You scoff at his suggestion. "Sophie is my friend there is no way I'm letting her get tangled into whatever mess you have planned." You could see that this visibly angered Rafal, causing him to leave the mirror and stand right in front of you. Grabbing onto your neck, he lifted you off the ground, choking you. "Now you listen to me, Sophie is going to help Evil finally win after a pitiful 200 years, I will not let a random weak girl get in my way. You are to stay away from Sophie. Do you understand? She is mine now." He said. You tried to nod your head, Rafal still cutting off your air supply. Black spots danced in your vision as your head became heavy. You could hear the clicking of Lesso's cane signaling her return. "See you soon, Y/N." Rafal said with a final smirk, your body going limp, as your eyes fluttered closed.

Lesso made her way into the room, stopping in her tracks as she came upon your unconscious form. Placing her things on the ground, she rushed over to you, checking for a pulse. Finding one relaxed her only a tiny bit, the concerned redhead questioning what went wrong. You had seemed fine when she left. Has she been too rough with you? Did you do something to yourself?

Pushing the what if's from her mind focusing on the present moment, she placed your head on her lap, and waited. About five minutes later you start to wake up. "Hey darling, are you okay, what happened?" Lesso asked, helping you sit up. "Oh nothing." You replied, your voice coming out strained. You could tell that Lesso didn't believe you but she chose not to pry. "Come on little one, I brought you some food." You take her hands, as she helps you to the bed.

Walking back to her desk, she returns with water, fruit and some pretzels. "I didn't know what you wanted. I bought two options. Don't feel pressured to eat both, but I would like you to eat something." She said it in a caring but dominant way. You took the fruit from her and sat on the bed, slowly making your way through the snack. Lesso proceeded to scroll through movies till you found something to watch. Deciding on Huntsman Winter's War she queued it up, while you finished your food.

You placed the bowl on the nightstand beside the bed, turning your attention to Lesso who had a worried look on her face. "Y/N, I need you to answer me honestly, what happened to cause you to pass out?" You weren't sure what had come over her, unknowing that you had a bruise the shape of a handprint forming on your neck. "I stood up too fast, that's all." You told her, hoping she would believe you. "Y/N you know that's not true, please tell me why there is a bruise the shape of a handprint on your neck."
