Chapter 3

That night I had dreams of that horrid man hurting me. I could still feel the whip coming down on me, when he was finished with me he went towards Sebastian, I cried out, "Sebastian!"

I woke up in tears. I hurt in so many places. I was in a cold sweat. Sebastian was instantly by my side.

"My lady, everything is alright I'm right here."

I looked into his eyes and threw myself into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. I cried into his shoulder. He put his right hand on my lower back and his left higher up in a comforting way.

"Sebastian, I'm scared."

He whispered into my ear, "No need to be scared I am here for you till the very end. I will protect you with my life. I am yours and you are mine. I shall protect you in anyway possible."

I pulled back slightly, I could see his red-brown eyes in the moonlight that was streaming through my window. He smiled that devilish smile and kissed my forehead, the tip of my nose, and softly on the lips.

He pulled back and tucked me back into bed.

"Now my lady you must get your rest. I promise I will remain here till morning."

I nodded slightly still afraid, "Sebastian? Can I ask something of you?"

He looked at me with concern, "Yes anything my lady."

I blushed a little, "I'm still scared... And I was wondering if you wouldn't mind... Well... Um... Maybe possible laying by me? Sorry..."

I lowered my head in shame of asking my butler if he would sleep with me.

"Yes of course M'lady."

He came and got in the covers with me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his chest. He whispered into my hair, "Better?"

I nodded slightly, "Much."

Next thing I remember was Sebastian humming a lullaby in my ear and falling asleep.
