Looking for the Light Through the Darkness

Chapter 38: Wanting to Please

Point of View: Sang

Wrapped up in everyone's warm embrace, I allowed my tears to cascade into my sash, which probably soaked them up slightly, before allowing them to slip down my cheeks. My forehead rests against one of their chest's, probably Luke's since it was on the slimmer side but still on the more muscular side. This was definitely the closest that I had ever felt to being safe. All nine of these males wrapped around me, even if it was just for a moment, made me feel as though nothing bad would ever touch me again.

Unfortunately, the moment, just like all other moments, comes to an end and the boys slowly pull away and move back to their seats. Smiling sadly, I curl closer into Kota's lap for warmth as I begin rubbing the tears off my face. Taking a slow deep breath, I look back toward the other's waiting for the boys to continue to shower me with more questions when the scent of Irish Spring Soap washes over me.

"I think it is time everyone returns home and Sang gets some rest." His voice is calm and gentle as he addresses the group but I know that it is more of an order than a request. Hearing a few muffled groans, I can't help but smile as I carefully stand.

Instantly, I am engulfed in the soothing scent of vanilla and the comforting arms of Luke. "Mr. B is right Sang. It is super late and you have had a crazy day." Blushing I give him a hug back breathing in one last breath of warm Vanilla before I am engulfed in another set of arms.

These arm's I know instantly and I can't help but smile as I place my head into the crook of Gabriel's neck allowing him to squeeze me tight. "Stay out of trouble." He whispers close to my ear as he places a soft kiss on my forehead making me blush.

"Hey you don't get to kiss Baby!" North grumbles angrily scooping me up into his arms and I can't help but giggle at his antics. His body heat warms me instantly as he bends lower to embrace me in a long hug. "He is right though. Make sure you stay out of trouble." Nodding, I feel him slowly slip out of my arms.

"My turn." The gentle arms of Nathan wrap around me as the scent of leather dances through my nose. Smiling, I give him a gentle squeeze before he disappears from my arms.

Thankfully, I am wrapped up in the large muscular arms of Silas who scoops me up into the air and the gentle scent of ocean washes over me. "Aggelle mou, did you hear about the two guys that stole a calendar?" Confused, I shake my head pulling back a little to look toward his voice. "They each got six months."

Instantly I can feel laughter bubble into my chest as Silas slips out of my arms and Kota's arms wrap around behind me. "Good Night Sang." Pulling me close for a moment, I wave as the others make their way back to their own apartments and I am pulled into Victor's gentle arms.

"Come on Princess." He whispers comfortingly in my ear. "Let's get you someplace warm and cozy before you fall asleep right here on the couch." I giggle softly as his breath tickles my ear and I slowly turn curling into his chest.

"But right here is warm and cozy." I whisper and I can hear the slight hitch of breath in Victor's chest as he pulls me closer.

"Silly girl." He whispers his voice soft and comforting, almost like velvet. Slipping his arms around me and easily lifting me up off my feet, I gasp and latch onto his chest as he carries me out of the living room.

"Good Night Pookie. See you in the morning~" Dr. Green calls out in a sing song voice and I giggle waving slightly toward Dr. Green's voice before pausing.

"Good Night Mr. Blackbourne." I call out unsure where he is and Victor pauses for a second.

"Good Night Miss. Sang." The soft and even voice of Mr. Blackbourne calls out and I smile curling closer into the warmth of Victor's chest as he slowly starts to climb the stairs up to the second floor.

Being placed on my feet at the top of the stairs, I hold tightly to Victor's hand as he guides me down a large hallway. He is patient as he walks with me explaining what each room is as my hands stumble upon different doorways. Thankfully, the second floor isn't as large as the first floor. It is just a straight hallway with four rooms, each of which have an attached bathroom.

Victor's seems to be the very last door on the right because the second, my hand touches the door, it opens up and the soft scent of moss and berries spills out. Smiling, I make my way into the room and slowly walk around without help.

The room is larger than I had expected, a large bed sits on the far side of the room facing two large windows which are currently covered with curtains. Curiously making my way around the room, I feel out the dressers, the night stands and the door to the bathroom before I feel comfortable enough to walk around the room without stumbling.

"Is it okay?" Victor asks as I approach the bed and I smile nodding.

"It is a lovely room from what I can tell." I state easily and I hear a slight huff of breath as though Victor is smiling.

"Let's get you ready for bed." He states and I nod glancing around unsure as to where to go but thankfully, Victor catches my hesitation and guides me into his bathroom. Moving from the warm carpeted floor to the cold tiled bathroom, I shiver moving about slowly and I can hear Victor beginning to run the water for a bath. Once I understand my surroundings, I move back to Victor's side, near the tub, and he wraps an arm carefully around my sides pulling me back into his chest. "Take your time and soak." He whispers into my ear and I nod soaking in the warmth radiating from the bath water. "I have some pajamas that you can use. They will probably be way to big but they will be comfy."

Smiling, I nod and wait quietly as Victor gathers different items for my bath and shows me which of the different containers is shampoo and what is soap. Waving him out of the bathroom, I slowly undress and place my sash off to the side of the room before slipping into the warmth of the bath. It honestly feels like heaven as I dunk my head under the warmth of the water.

The nightmare from before quickly tumbles out of mind as I soak in the large but simple bath tub. Resting my head against the back of the tub, I think of each of the boys and how comfortable they had made me feel in an unknown place. Smiling, I blow bubbles in the water before dunking my head under the water once more.

The boys even didn't mind about the scars I had.

The thought hangs in my mind as I continue to wash up and step out of the bath before drying myself off. They had said that they were okay with the scars but would they change their mind if they actually saw them? Shivering, I quickly slip on the silky pajamas that Victor had placed in the bathroom. The soft fabric instantly comforts me as I make my way to the door when I pause. I hadn't put on my sash. Biting my lip, I look back to where I had placed the piece of cloth unsure of what to do.

What would happen if I left the bathroom without my sash on? Would he get upset? Would he ask me to leave? He could always change his mind. Especially if he thinks they are ugly. Trembling, I think over all of the different reactions that could take place as anxiety begins to well up inside my stomach. Letting out a shaken breath, I sit down on the floor and hide my face in my knees.

"Sang?" Victor's voice is by the door now and I know he is worried. I am taking too long. "Sang is something wrong?"
