My Mafia Daddy

Chapter Twenty Six

Chapter Twenty Six

Normal POV

I walk inside the house and head to the small library towards the back of the house. I grab a book off the shelf and curl up on one of the arm chairs. I read the book for a few hours, only stopping as I hear the door open. I look up and see Cain walk in. He gives me a soft smile as he sits in the chair across from me. "So little one, how are you feeling? Your family is worried about you." He asks quietly and I put my book down to give him my full attention. "I know... And I am trying to stay strong. I am trying to keep my head up. I just feel so overwhelmed because of everything that happened. I keep replaying what happened and every time Talon touches me, I feel like puking and sobbing in a corner. I feel disgusted by myself, and I'm terrified he will find me disgusting and dirty? I know you brought Margo here to help me, and I am grateful for it, but what if she can't help me? What if I am broken?" I tell him, while trying to keep myself in one piece. "Lily. The real questions you should as yourself is what if she can help you? What if you aren't broken? And anyway, whats broken can be fixed. It just takes some time and some effort. Think of yourself like a plate that was broken in two. It can be fixed with gold leaf and glue and looks better then before. Our scars and chips are what make us unique and different from everyone else. So what you are a little broken right now? It just means you will be stronger then before and better then ever. Just take a few deep breaths and relax. Don't rush it and just take your time." He smiles and leans back in the chair. I look down at may hands and take a deep breath before giving him a small smile. "Thank you Cain. I mean it." He gets up and smiles before ruffling my hair. "You got it kiddo." he walks out of the room, leaving me to think.

Talons POV

I listen outside the door as Cain talks to Lily. My baby thought she was broken and was scared. My fists clench in sadness and anger. I felt desperate to try and make it better but I knew I could only be there to support her by her side. I sigh knowing I would have to be by her side and let her come to me for comfort when she wanted it. It would be a struggle not to hold her or touch her in some way, but if she was scared of being touched, I would back away to give her the space she needed. I see Cain walk out and he gives me a nod, knowing I had heard everything. I watch him walk away before I go into the library to see her. I watch her wipe her eyes as she see's me. "Hi baby. Can I sit with you?" I ask quietly and wait for her answer. She nods and I take a seat in the chair next to her. "Baby... I heard you and Cain talking, only the end of it. I want you to know that I love you, and I will move heaven and hell to make you feel better and feel safe again. I love you and I will give you some space. When you want me to hold you or touch you, I want you to tell me and initiate it. I don't want you to feel pressured or push yourself to have me hold you. I want you to take your time and feel better. Ok baby?" I ask her and she sniffles while nodding slowly. "Why? Why are you staying with me? I'm broken and dirty and disgusting." She whispers and I get on my knees in front of her. I look up at her red rimmed eyes, still seeing how beautiful she was. "Baby girl.. You are not dirty or disgusting. You are Beautiful and amazing. I will spend the rest of my days proving that to you. I love you, no matter what happened to you. You are still my baby, my love, my girlfriend. I will never leave you, even if you want me to leave I will still be here. You are my everything baby." I tell her as I look in her eyes. She reaches up and slowly touches my cheek softly. I smile and kiss her palm before leaning into her touch. I will be her rock forever. We stay like that for awhile until she feels better.


Normal POV

As I touch his cheek, I know that he is trying to give me my space and not push me into things. Tears fill my eyes as I look at him. He is willing to put us on hold so that I can get better. He is treating me as the priority, like I am a real princess. I loved this man. I love him with my whole heart. To see him on his knees, in front of me, made me realize how much he loved me too. I knew he was the only one for me. I lean down and press a soft kiss to his lips. He seemed surprised and lightly presses against my lips more, he let me take the lead and accepted when I pulled away. "Can we take it slow? Like at my pace? I don't want to push you away, but I am scared." I whisper and he cups my cheek softly. "Baby I am willing to wait forever for you if I have to. This is all on you. You take the lead, you tell me what you are comfortable with. You initiate everything. I won't lie that it will be hard but I will take care of myself until you are willing and really ready. I won't let you force yourself to try and make me happy, when you are hurting. Let's start slow and take our time. I love you and only you, and I will be by your side. I promise." He holds up his pinky and I link mine with his and cry softly. He wipes my tears and smiles before kissing my forehead. We stay like that for awhile, just sitting in comfortable silence. I felt calm and for the first time in awhile, truly safe and loved.

A/N: I wanna apologize for the delay, this chapter is more soft and slow. i have a few things lined up for this book but i was curious about if you want more action or if you want more soft stuff.
