CHAPTER 79:

"Lyra?" I turned around at the sound of my name to see Jackie standing before me.

We had been dismissed from the meeting and were encouraged to rest and take a break.

After seeing what we did; no one was in the mood to train so we were all walking towards the gardens for some fresh air.

"yes? Is there any problem?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"I've decided to accept your proposal and get my sight back for a little while" she said a little too loudly.

Everyone stopped to look at her in surprise.

If I'm being honest, I never expected her to agree to this at all. In fact, nobody did.

"of course; let's all go to the garden. That should be the perfect place" and we quickly walked over to the gardens in excitement...

"are you ready?" I asked as I placed both my hands on either sides of her face.

Imogen recommended that she sits facing us so when she opens her eyes, she would see us first and it was quite a nice idea.

She took a deep breath before slowly closing her eyes and nodding.

Jackie's POV:

My heart began pounding faster and faster in my chest no matter how hard I tried to calm down.

What was I scared of?

I honestly didn't know or couldn't tell but it has been a while since I felt like this.

I'm sure Imogen, Rayhan and Tamar must look much more different from when Darya tried to regain my sight.

I was roughly 13 years old the last time it happened.

It seemed so long ago.

And it is time to try again and to see new faces.

"wha'po ke ja" Lyra muttered and there was silence at first until she instructed I opened my eyes.

Slowly and rather nervously, I let my eyelids flutter open.

It took a while for me to adjust to the brightness and register everything around me.

"you have beautiful eyes Jackie" Imogen commented.

I could tell it was her voice but seeing her now.

She looked amazing.

They all did though they looked quite different from what I had imagined.

I took my time to access Lyra, Eri, Cyrus and-

"your eyes are the perfect shade of blue" Sam said and I turned to meet his warm eyes.

Red hair was the last thing I expected of him.

He looked handsome in general.

Seeing everything again overwhelmed me to the point that my eyes began to sting.

How I've missed my sight.

"thank you everyone" I whispered; tears gliding down my cheeks.

I had never felt so full of joy since…I can't even remember.

.........…......

The rest of the day went on peacefully.

We all enjoyed our time in the gardens.

Though the king and queen were quite busy, they spent a few minutes with us.

They really hadn't changed from when last I saw them.

Even Darya.

Javan looked quite intimidating I'm not going to lie.

Today might have been the best day of my life.

I know this happiness is temporary but it's best I enjoy it while it lasts.

"when you told me about your backstory and how Phillip had you cursed because of your eyes; I thought you were exaggerating it but now…I don't think I can look anywhere else" Sam held me from behind and pulled me closer to him.

"how can you see them when you're standing behind-" before I could finish my statement, he had spun me around and used his finger to tilt my chin up.

"I honestly can't do without you these days; you're my everything" he cupped my cheeks and placed a gentle kiss on my lips.

"I do feel the same way. Though when I first met you, I didn't think we could ever end up like this" I blushed.

Sam brings out a side of me that I didn't think I knew existed.

He made me feel safe though I am stronger than him but having someone to protect you is unmatched.

"from the moment I laid eyes on you, there was always this attraction or a burning desire but you were quite stubborn about it. Either way, I'm glad to be where I am today…with you" he smiled and moved over to kiss me.

His hands snaked around my waist and pulled me closer.

Having him this close to me always made me throw all forms of logic out the window.

Though it started out as a simple and gentle kiss, it became more demanding as time went on.

There was throbbing between my legs like the first time we did this and it was becoming harder to ignore.

My fingers found their way into his hair and began tugging at them, making him groan out in pleasure.

I pulled away for a moment to catch my breath.

With a loving smile on his face, Sam began to undress me.

He was going so slow that it was taunting and painful to endure.

"you appear to be so shy when with everyone and yet here you are about to make me lose my mind" I smirked as he peeled away the last of my clothes.

"well you bring out a side of me that I hide from everyone" he took a few steps back, admiring my body from head to toe.

I could feel his gaze.

I could see him look at me.

When I was without sight, it was different.

Now I can see his reaction and it made my cheeks go bright.

"leaving the castle was the best decision I had ever made!" he closed the gap between us within a second and his lips devoured mine.

His hands toured my body and I gasped when he cupped my left breast.

This time was going to be different.

For one I could actually see what's going on.

"I can't imagine you with any other person" I broke off as I helped him undo his clothes with frantic hands.

"neither can I. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want us to be together forever. I know we are young but I'm sure of it! I want you to be mine"

His words made my heart beat faster and my chest constrict.

He wasn't proposing but it was still the next best thing.

Whenever we were ready to get married; we'd know.

But now; let's just be wild and whacky with each other.

Without another word, he lifted me and placed me gently on the bed while he worked on his trousers.

Seeing him totally naked in front of me made the throbbing worse!

He nervously smiled as he climbed over me and littered kisses from my neck to my breasts.

My back arched against the bed, giving myself to him even more.

I felt his hands on my waist and moved lower to the curve of my bum.

Sam began massaging it and I couldn't help but bite my lips as not to moan too loudly.

When he felt I had had enough, he asked me the question I had been waiting to hear:

"are you ready?" his voice was so deep that I couldn't believe this was Sam I was with!

I nodded and watched with wide eyes as he slipped his…cock into me.

The feeling never changed. Having him fill my insides.

I couldn't prevent the low moan that escaped my mouth.

His thrusts were slow and it didn't hurt as much as when we did it the first time.

I thought this was something I was meant to enjoy with my sight but I could barely keep my eyes open.

He picked up his pace and kept on going without a care in the world and my body soon felt like it would give out at any moment.

Just when I couldn't take much more, I released myself; untying the imaginary knot at the pit of my stomach.

Something warm filled my insides just as Sam barely stopped himself from collapsing atop me but I couldn't care less.

This was a perfect paradise that I would never want to give up.
