Reiner – Unexpected Helper

“R…” I whimpered his name as I turned around in his arms to face him.

“Go to sleep, Natalia…” Reiner whispered to me before he kissed my forehead.

His arms wrapped a little tighter around my body before I felt the pressure from his hand behind my head. With slight force, he pushed my head to burry my face against his chest. It felt so good and so secure to be held in his arms like this. It was like he wanted to shield me from all my troubles with his large body. I breathed in his familiar scent as I nuzzled my face against his hard and muscular chest.

“I love you…” I whispered.

I felt Reiner nodding his head above me as his large hand stroked along my back in a slow and steady motion. When I woke up the next morning, I was still wrapped up in his embrace. For the many nights that followed, he held me just like that until sleep claimed me.
