     Part Seven ~ Lacey's POV

      I didn't even have to open my eyes to know I wasn't in my bed. It was much too soft and welcoming. I felt a warm, big body lying next to me, but for some odd reason, it didn't scare me. 

     I opened my eyes and looked at the glorious room I was in. The walls were a creamy, golden brown with rich brown finish. There was a lounge-like corner with the same rich brown colored couch, chairs, coffee table, and curtains. The bed I was a matching brown frame and had the golden brown comforters, sheets, and pillows. 

     I gasped slightly at the man asleep next to me. Oh sweet weeping Baby Jesus! I was in bed with Tier. Tier, as in the sexy, German, new guy. He was asleep. Oh God. It made me so hot watching him sleep. The sheets were pulled down to his hips, giving me a wonderful view of his chiseled, hard 8 pack. Every time he breathed his muscles flexed and moved. His hair was gently tousled and his lips had a sleepy pout. Good God, he wasn't even awake And I'm fantasizing about his God like body.

     Wait, I'm in bed with Tier! I sat up quickly, hissing as my injuries streched, and quickly jumped out of the bed. I fell on the floor with a loud thump. Tier's sleeping figure jolted up and in a flash was standing over me. He looked at me with a mix of sleepiness and worry.

     "Are you alright, Lacey?" He asked, helping me up. Oh Jesus, his touch sent pleasant shivers down my back. When he said my name with his sexy accent, my heart dropped and my stomach clenched in desire. 

     "W-what am I doing here?" I asked in a shaky, and slightly breathless, voice. His eyes softened and he replied softly.

     "We found you, barely conscience, in the middle of the woods. You were bloody and in pain and clinging to life." He said, his soft voice becoming angry as he spoke. He looked pained at the thought of me being hurt. I absorbed his words for a moment and then looked at him in confusion.

      "We?" I asked. He smiled shyly. "Yeah, me and my pa-, er, family." He said lamely.

     I nodded and looked down at myself, immediately blushing as red as my hair. I was wearing a t-shirt that reached down to my mid thighs. Oh merciful God, did he change me?

     "Erm, di-did you change me?" I asked slowly. I looked up at him to see him growing pink in the cheeks. His eyes were wide and his mouth was a giant 'O'. He himself was wearing dark boxers.

     "No! No I didn't, I swear!" He said, his cheeks burning. I smiled and mentally giggled. He looked good in red, he he! I gasped in pain as a wave of pain washed down my worn body. My knees buckled and I would have fallen if Tier caught me. He looked at me with pain. He carried me out the door and down an impressive sized staircase. 

     He carried me bridal style into a room that looked like a small infirmary. A smaller man came in. His greying black hair was messy and he looked like ha hadn't gotten much sleep. He had wrinkles that said he smiled alot.

     Once he saw me he gasped and stopped abruptly. He looked at me for a second than averted his gaze. it confused me, but I brushed it away.

     Tier spoke up in a strangled voice. "Doc, she hurts. Please give her something." His brow furrowed. 

     'Doc's' head snapped up. He quickly motioned for Tier to set me down on a hospital bed. He set me down tenderly, almost like he thought I was going to break. Doc came over with a glass of water and two green pills. 

     "Take these, it will soothe the pain, Princess." He said bowing his head. I furrowed my brow in confusion but took the pills, drinking all the water without coming up for air. He looked slightly amused but quickly turned to Tier. 

     "Sir, she needs to eat. She needs lots of protein and water." he said respectfully. Tier nodded and picked me up again. He took me to a room filled with people. They all stopped talking as soon as  they saw me. A woman came up and spoke to Tier with her head bowed. 

      "Get her food. Lots of meat." He told her, sitting me down infornt of a huge table. He sat next to me. I peaked up at all the people who were still looking at me. They had faces filled with awe, admiration, and love. I almost cried, I hadn't had anybody look at me that way in years.

     The woman from before came back in with two plates in hand. She set one infront of Tier, and one infront of me. She was about to turn back around when I put a hand on her wrist. She stiffened.

     I looked at her. "Please look at me." I told her.

     "I-it's not my place, Princess." She stuttered.

     "Please?" I asked her. She shyly looked at me. I smiled at her.

     "Now, what's your name?" I asked her. She was probably around 14. She had light blonde hair pulled into a tight bun. She looked kind of like Alexis.

     "I am Raina, Princess." she said quietly.

    "You have a beautiful name, Raina. Please call me Lacey." I said, giving her a smile.

     She looked bewildered. "Oh, I could never-" She began. I quicly cut her off.

     "Please? I'm just Lacey, not some Princess." I said. She looked confused for a second but then it turned to understanding.

     "Al-alright, Lacey." She said with a small smile.

     "Oh and thank you for my breakfast Raina." At her. 

     "Your welcome, Pri-, er, Lacey." She said.

     I smiled at her retreating form.
