Maeve has always been haunted by the loss of her parents, retreating into a world of solitude with her closest friends and her cat, Archie. But after a chance encounter with the captivating couple, Scarlett and Reese, her world is turned upside down. Maeve is irresistibly drawn to their gentle dominance and protective nature, stirring unfamiliar emotions. As she navigates these feelings and her complicated past, Maeve must decide if she's ready to open her heart to the powerful connection they offer-and trust that their care could help her heal in ways she never imagined. **************** "Come here little one," Reese murmured, reaching out. Maeve's arms fell around his neck as he scooped her up, cradling her against his chest like she was the most delicate thing in the world. She trembled slightly in his hold, her body exhausted but still shaken. Scarlett fell into step beside them, her gaze lingering on Maeve, concern softening the usual sharpness in her expression. As Scarlett shifted beside Maeve, her voice was soft but warm. "Hey Bunny, it's just me. Don't worry, we're going to take care of you, okay?" Her soothing tone melted through Maeve's defenses as Maeve nodded slowly, the tears still glistening in her eyes. Scarlett's touch was firm yet gentle as she guided Maeve's hands in hers, offering both comfort and quiet strength.
