2. Put Pants On
804 Words
I'm in a big bed. I'm warm and comfortable. Someone found me. I relax. I'm happy someone found me.
I breathe in and something smells amazing. I try to move the blanket and it's heavy. I can't move it at all. Then I hear something from the next room. I look at the doorway as the sexiest man I've ever seen walks into the room. He has so many muscles, and he only has a towel on. I've never seen a man this close to being naked. He is a work of art.
His stomach is all muscle and that towel is sitting so low. I've never wished for something to fall off so much in my life. His chest. I want to touch it. His shoulders. I have to touch him.
He lies beside me, but he doesn't touch me.
I reach out and touch his chest. His skin is like heaven and he's so warm.
My eyes move up on their own. They linger on his lips. I want to kiss those. His cheeks. His face is perfect. We make eye contact, and I feel a bond connect in my chest.
He smiles and touches my hair. "Mine."
"Mine too."
We stare at each other for I don't know how long. Then he kisses my cheek. It seems like he wants to say something, but the door flies in.
Kina runs in. We make eye contact and she hits the ground sobbing.
2 guards come in next. They kneel and wipe tears off their faces. Then 1 turns towards the door. "Queen Mayra is awake."
An alarm goes off. It's all I can hear for a second. It hurts my ears.
Then a man runs in that I've never seen before. "BRO, PUT PANTS ON." He points to the other door.
My mate leaves the bed and goes back into the other room. I stare at the door and try to reach for him. I don't want him to go anywhere.
"Mayra, can you look at me please?"
A man is shining a bright light in my eyes.
"Thank you Mayra. I'm Dr. Fomek. I'm going to clear these people out and give you a check-up. Has she said anything, Alden?"
"Mine."
Everyone chuckles and the doctor nods. "Alright everyone out."
I stare at my mate. I don't want him to go. I reach for him as best as I can, and he climbs back into bed with me. "I'm right here, sweetheart." He kisses my hand. His eyes are so kind when he smiles.
After the room clears out, the doctor and Kina come over. Kina can not stop crying. She eventually sits down in a chair.
The doctor checks my arms. "What's the last thing you remember, Mayra?"
I remember touching my mate's chest. I can't help but smile. I want to do that again. I want to see him with that towel on again too.
The doctor chuckles. "Farther back than that."
My eyebrows shoot up. I never even said anything. How did he know what I was thinking?
Kina rubs my hair. "Do you remember going to school?"
I close my eyes and think. I remember Kailia. "Kailia's going to be my advisor after I get crowned. We're going to check out princes. We are getting ready to leave. Exams are over. I did it. I finished school, Kina."
"Yes you did, princess. You made everyone proud. What next?"
I remember kissing Donovan. My face must do something because Kina laughs.
"Keep going."
I peek at my mate, and he has an eyebrow up. I turn away fast. Maybe he won't notice anything.
The 3 of them laugh.
"After that, princess. You're getting ready to go home."
"The necklace. The compass. My gift got delivered. I gave it to you to keep safe. It will always lead me home. I remember that."
"And I did keep it safe. It's in the castle."
I smile. Then I remember the dark. My brothers face, and him stabbing me. I close my eyes, but the tears won't stop. "He hurt me."
My mate kisses my head. "You're safe now, sweetheart."
"How long was I lost?"
"500 years."
"Where is my daddy?"
"Your brother killed your parents, princess. Then he attacked you. The room had a magic blocker on it, and it was sealed. For 500 years, your brother has been on the throne."
"Is he still on it?"
"No. Our king has taken his rightful place." Kina kisses my head this time. Then she pushes my hair back. "Your brother was a monster on the throne. Everyone is glad to have you back. People are celebrating everywhere. Our queen is back."
I nod and feel my eyes closing. I yawn. "I'm back."
I hear my mate say, "That's enough for tonight."
