Pharaoh's First Love

81

Amarie took Jin and hurried off to the kitchen which was a few rooms away, she was very eager to show off her cooking skills, not because she wanted to impress Calion, but because she wanted to do right by Shelyn and give the two of them a meal which would lift their spirits after what would be a difficult period.
Shelyn didn’t reply. Truthfully anyone might be a better choice of teacher compared to the man who eagerly awaited any chance to be one with her. She slipped into the bath as she tied her hair up. Sure to avoid it getting wet since she didn’t have time.
She used the soaps and a rag and made sure to wash every inch of her body. Including the sore flower that felt swollen and abused.
After 25mintues she slipped out and dried off. Returning to the bedroom slowly to find Calion beside her dress on the bed.
Jin happily began reading instructions one by one. And even got his hands dirty by actually helping if it was in reach.

Calion’s bluish grey eyes looked upon her as she stepped into the room wrapped in a towel, his eyes settling upon her as if she were the most beautiful girl in the world, and after all in his eyes she was, even if she had doubts. He finally stood as she approached and opened his arms and pulled her in for a hug, tucking her cheek against his chest and simply held her quietly.

“I understand tonight will be difficult, I simply want you to remember though that you are not alone. I am here for you now, always, Shelyn.” He said in a serious tone, not being lewd even if she was bare beneath the towel. This was his night to be comforting to her and let her know she could rely upon him and that she was cared about more than simply what her body could offer him.
“Let’s get you dressed, lover.” He said, after a few minutes of hugging her before he turned her around and moved to get her dress so he could help dress her when she dropped her towel.
When he stood she instantly felt tense. As if expecting him to be his normal self. However, this warm hug he gave instead left her feeling empty all over again. Yes his words were comforting but the reality of it was she was alone.
He couldn’t replace her bother or father or even her mother. Neither could Jin, Yun or even the other 2 brothers. Amarie couldn’t offer it either.
She gave a fight to hold back tears as she nodded and turned away. Slowly dropping her towel so that she could pull on another white dress. This one more standard for the culture. Long to the ground a thin silver ribbon at the waist. Breast tucked neatly behind the fabric as it’s thin straps connected to a piece in back.
She pulled her hair free and allowed it to fall in think waves thanks to the heat from the bath.
