"Finally, you're awake!!"
Two voices shouted at once—sharp, overlapping like knives thrown from opposite corners of the room.
Asperia and Mirea.
The volume pierced his skull like a hammer. His eyes widened—
And immediately, without thinking, Vex turned his face and dove into the softest thing he could find:
Maira's belly.
"Please save me," he mumbled, muffled, panicked—like a scared child hiding from thunder under the only blanket they trust.
He needed to. Not just to escape those two women trying to beat him—why would he even fear some weak women who just caught him off guard?
Nah, he just liked the comforting touch of Maira. Damn, he wasn't even going to move away from here for some time.
