Big Protector

As their car entered the gates of the orphanage, Rain noticed Alexander's slight gulp.

"Relax," she murmured against his neck before pressing a soft kiss there. She was feeling extra clingy, but considering how he'd been holding her close the entire ride, she figured he didn't mind. 

Grateful for the privacy screen in the car, Rain chuckled when he finally sighed and muttered, "Do you enjoy leaving hickeys on my neck? How come you won't let me do the same to you?"

Laughing, Rain gave his neck one last playful nip before moving off his lap. "We're here," she announced, glancing outside.

As the car stopped, Rain quickly stepped out, catching sight of Philip and Mia among the kids sweeping the front yard. She hadn't told anyone she'd be visiting. She wanted it to be a surprise.

The moment one of the kids spotted her, she shouted, "Pretty Sis!" and, in seconds, the rest of the kids rushed toward her.
