Bound Together

Chapter 6

Damiens pov
She's been asleep for roughly four hours now and I haven't moved an inch. I must say watching her sleep is my new favorite thing. She looks so at peace. She stirs and her eyelashes flutter open, every time I see those beautiful mismatched eyes my heart leaps. Good lord this woman is stunning.
"Damien?" Nyla mumbles.
"Yes princess?" I whisper.
"You stayed." She muttered.
"Of course princess I would never leave you." I responded.
"But why?" She ponders. I can tell she's never had anyone care for her and that chips at my heart. This girl is making me soft, men piss themselves when they hear my name but yet this tiny woman in arms only snuggles in deeper. What is she doing to me?
"Because princess you're mine." I gave her a vague answer because honestly I don't fully know myself. I have only known her for three days and I would die for her if meant she was okay. I have never felt like this for any woman in my life but yet the moment she saunters into our lives she has me wrapped around her little finger.  "We still need to talk to the princess." I whisper into her ear.
"No we don't. You know what they are so there's nothing to talk about." She grumbles .
"Yes I do know what they are but we need to talk about the why, princess." I add. "So tell me why you did it, princess."
"Because... It was too much." she mumbles so low I almost didn't hear what she said.
"What was too much princess?" I already know but I need to hear it from her.
"The pain." she grumbles.  I know exactly what she means, my brothers and I all share neat lines that she does.
"It's okay princess." I tighten my grip on her and run my hand up and down her back. Her body is trembling with anxiety. "You're not alone anymore princess you've got me. You can trust me, I pinky promise." I whisper.
"Pinky promise? What's a pinky promise?" she looks up at me with a puzzled look on her face.
"We intertwine our pinkies and hold it." I say. I hold up my pinky and she slowly brings hers to meet mine. Our pinkies interlock. After a few seconds we let go. She glances up at me with the biggest smile on her face and I smile right back. "Come on, it's time for dinner. We are having potato pancakes with applesauce and mac cheese." I know she has no clue what I'm talking about but she takes my hand and follows me to the kitchen. Instead of taking a seat away from us she sits next to me. Noah and Jack look at us confused but dont say anything about it.  Noah sets the plates down and Nyla tilts her head puzzled at what's in front of her. "Try it princess." She looks at me and back down at her plate wary but picks up her fork and cuts into the potato pancake and dips it in the apple sauce. She smells it before she puts it into her mouth. I see her facial expressions change from wary to amazement. Her eyes shine as she puts more food into her mouth. We made her pancake smaller so that way she would eat it all and hopefully try the mac & cheese. She quickly devorus it and moves to try the mac & cheese. She put a forkful of food in her mouth and she let out a little moan. All three instantly pause but not long enough for her to notice as she fills herself up. She finishes her entire plate. "Good job princess, I'm proud of you." I lean down and whisper in her ear. Her cheeks go red and she presses her thighs together. Ah so my princess has a praise kink that's good to know.
"How was your day Noah?" She asks him. He jerks his head up and I see shock in his eyes but he quickly recovers and a huge smile forms on his face. He's always been the most bubbly out of the three of us, Jack is definitely the most moody.
"It was very good love, thank you for asking. How was your love?" he beams. Nyla looks at me and then back at noah.
"It was okay." She replied. It's her choice whether or not she tells him what happened today.
"What happened to your knuckles love?" He looks at her with concern.
"I was using the punching bag and forgot to wrap my hands." She says
"Next time please wrap your hands love i hate to see you hurt." He requested. Nyla nodded her head signaling that she acknowledged what he said.
"How was your day Jack?" She questions Jack which  shocked all of us. He looks up at her confused.
"It was good darling." He replies. Nyla nods her head.
"Do you want me to come lay with you again princess?" I whisper to her.
"Please? You keep the nightmares away." She whispers back and my heart swells. Is it possible to fall in love in the span of three days because I think I have. She yawns and I know she's tired again.
"Come on princess, let's go to bed." She nods her head and stands from her chair. We walk to her room and she changes into pajamas.
"Can you put the magic box on?" The magic box? Does she mean the tv?
"Do you mean the tv princess?" I have a question.
"If it's the big black thing on the wall over there then yes." Nyla says.
"Princess, how do you not know what a tv is?" I ask.
"Um i wasn't allowed to have one." She lies. We will come back to it another day.
"Of course we can be princesses." She shoots her fist in the air in victory. She gets under the covers and snuggles up to me. I could lie here with her forever. We both fall asleep with the magic box playing.
