Chapter 850


    Thssa knew who had just entered the room without looking.


    The air suddenly grew tense; even Thssa''s breath hitched. Instead of turning around, she hugged


    little Elowen tighter, her cheek resting against the child''s soft face as if seeking a slight tinge of warmth


    from her small body.


    The weight on the bed shifted as a masculine presence drew closer, his breath fanning against


    Thssa''s face and his sturdy chest pressing against her back.


    Thssa stiffened. Before she could react, her chin was lifted and she found herself staring into


    Lysander''s deep, handsome face.


    "How disappointed our little one must be when you ignore her questions?" he asked. His low voice was


    reverberating in the quiet room and picking Thssa’s nerves.


    "Daddy, you''re here! Are you here to sleep with us?" Elowen lifted her head from Thssa''s shoulder,


    her sparkling eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Lysander expectantly.


    Lysander’s oceanic eyes fixated on Elowen, and then back at Thssa as he said, "Did you hear that?


    Elowen is waiting for your response."


    Thssa fell silent.


    Elowen had stopped asking about sleeping together until he walked in.


    So, who was really waiting for her answer? Him or Elowen?


    Thssa knew if she didn''t answer, Lysander wouldn''t let it go. Plus, she didn''t want to upset Elowen.


    Avoiding Lysander''s gaze and his hand on her chin, she looked away, "Of course we can sleep


    together."


    "Yay! Hop in, Daddy," Elowen said as she looked up and climbed out of Thssa’s arms. She dragged


    Lysander''s arm like a little adult, encouraging him to join them.


    "Elowen, your dad needs to take a shower; he can''t..." Thssa started, worried that Lysander would


    be upset.


    Before she could finish her sentence, Lysander removed his shoes and climbed into the bed.


    Thssa was taken aback.


    Wasn''t he a clean freak? Why he got into bed without showering or changing his clothes?


    "Cover up, Daddy," Elowen said as she pulled the quilt over Lysander and Thssa.


    Once she was done, she snuggled back against Thssa, allowing her mother to wrap her arms


    around her tiny frame.


    Seeing Thssa''s arms around her, Elowen turned to Lysander and said sweetly, "Daddy, hug Mommy


    like she''s hugging me. That way, she won''t be scared."


    Thssa was startled. Was Elowen pushing her into the lion''s den?


    "I don''t need..."


    She was already enveloped in a broad, solid embrace just as she opened her mouth.


    His arms were strong and his sturdy chest was exuding a sense of security. Through the fabric of his


    clothes, she could feel the warmth radiating from him.


    Thssa stiffened, her eyes wide open.


    "Sleep," Lysander’s husky voice ran as hey down and had his arms around her entire body; his legs


    even draped over hers.


    His gentle movement were enveloping herpletely.


    Thssa felt like a chrysalis wrapped in a silken cocoon, which protected her like a hard shell.


    His actions were swift, leaving her no chance to resist. By the time she gathered her wits, she was


    already snuggled against him.


    She tried to move but couldn''t. His breath, warm and steady, tickled the sensitive skin behind her ear,


    causing her nerves to tingle.


    With a shaky breath, Thssa said, "Lysander, let me go."


    "Mommy, don''t make Daddy let go. If he does, we''ll be struck by lightning," Elowen''s soft voice, filled


    with fear and protest, whined.


    As she spoke, she burrowed further into Thssa''s arms, causing Thssa''s heart to flutter with

    affection and helplessness.


    "Did you hear that? I’m doing this for your safety," Lysander''s low voice resounded in Thssa''s ear.
