The decision to turn back to the grand family estate was made with a casual wave of Lyra's hand, a silent, shared understanding between the sisters. The capital, with its endless formal engagements and tiresome social dances, suddenly seemed utterly unappealing. Why bother with the superficialities of court when the true delight, their newfound obsession, was right there with them? The other servants, bewildered but never questioning, were quickly dispatched with new, urgent tasks as the carriage veered off the road leading to the city. Lady Lyra, the celebrated student leader of the prestigious Veridian Magic Academy, and Lady Seraphina, the influential invited guest of the Royal Family, possessed an authority no one dared challenge. They wanted their **Rose**, and they wanted her **undivided attention**.
Upon arriving at the immense, ancient mansion, the other staff scattered like startled birds, leaving the front hall eerily quiet. Lyra and Seraphina wasted no time. Before Rose, still recovering from the poison but now stable, could even think of her duties, she was swept into a warm, immediate embrace by both sisters. Their arms wrapped around her, a protective, possessive cocoon. Rose, still processing the sudden change in plans and the lingering tenderness from their care, found herself pressed between their slender, powerful forms, inhaling their distinct, aristocratic scents—Lyra's crisp, almost ethereal, and Seraphina's rich, earthy magic.
Rose's mind reeled. She had heard the whispers among the other maids, the hushed gossip about how the formidable Lady Lyra and the regal Lady Seraphina never allowed other girls to touch them, let alone embrace them with such fervent closeness. Her **soft, yielding figure**, usually a source of self-consciousness, was now held so tenderly. A deep blush spread across her cheeks, and her piglet ears, unseen by them, briefly flickered into existence.
"There, there, our little runaway," Lyra murmured, her voice a soft caress as she stroked Rose's hair. "Did you think we'd let you out of our sight so easily, after your bravery?"
Seraphina kissed the top of Rose's head. "Indeed. The thought of a carriage ride without our delightful companion proved unbearable. Utterly tedious. Especially after you so selflessly protected us from that bandit's venom." Her voice held a rare, profound gratitude.
Rose, caught between their overwhelming affection, felt a tear escape, tracing a warm path down her flushed cheek. "My ladies... you are too kind. I... I'm just a maid. I only wanted to keep you safe." She still couldn't quite believe this was happening, her soft frame held so tenderly by these magnificent women, the most powerful young ladies she knew.
"And what a maid you are," Lyra chuckled, gently nudging Rose towards a lavish sitting room off the main hall. The room, typically reserved for important guests, felt intimate and warm under their presence. They settled onto a plush velvet settee, Rose still firmly between them, now half-lying across their laps.
For the first time, truly, they listened. Rose, timid at first, began to speak of her simple dreams: a small cottage, perhaps a garden of her own, the joy of a perfectly starched linen. Her voice, soft and earnest, painted a picture of uncomplicated sweetness. To Lyra and Seraphina, accustomed to the grand ambitions and intricate deceptions of court and academia, Rose's innocent thoughts were a revelation. They found themselves utterly charmed, these everyday desires becoming incredibly endearing, a refreshing balm to their complex lives.
"You see, Lyra?" Seraphina whispered, her voice low enough so Rose, who was starting to drift, wouldn't fully register. "Such pure dreams. Imagine, wishing for a perfectly starched linen." She gave a soft, affectionate pinch to Rose's arm. "You are truly one of a kind, my little duckling. And your courage... it's something we will never forget."
Lyra ran a hand through Rose's soft, rosy hair. "Indeed. And to think, we once chased after power and prestige. This... this is far more fulfilling. We were so careless before, Rose. We promise, we will never let you suffer again, never put you in harm's way." She leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to Rose's forehead.
Rose, feeling the warmth of their bodies and the gentle rhythm of their breaths, stirred. "I... I just want to be useful," she murmured, a fresh wave of tears welling in her eyes. "To... to make you happy. I'm so happy to be useful."
"Useful?" Lyra's voice was firm, yet brimming with tenderness. "Oh, Rose. You are far more than useful. You are... essential."
"Our **treasured bloom**," Seraphina added, her hand stroking Rose's side reassuringly.
With those words, Seraphina's lips found Rose's, a soft, deliberate kiss that made Rose's cheeks burn even hotter. Rose, timid and inexperienced, hesitated for only a second before **tentatively kissing her back**, her soft lips responding with a shy eagerness. Lyra, not to be outdone, gently took Rose's chin and angled her head, claiming her own kiss. Rose reciprocated again, her heart pounding against her ribs as she felt Lyra's arm **gently wrap around her waist**, pulling her closer. It was a new world of sensation, of acceptance, and Rose, despite her inexperience, melted into their affection, completely content. The sisters savored each kiss, appreciating her every soft curve, her every delicate freckle. This physical closeness, the feeling of Rose's soft body against theirs, was utterly intoxicating. They were becoming addicted to their lovely Rose.
"You are magnificent," Lyra whispered, her voice husky with emotion, as she broke the kiss. "So soft, so warm. And that simple joy... it's intoxicating, isn't it? Her pure heart... it makes me feel things I never knew possible."
Seraphina gently stroked Rose's hair, her fingers tracing the curve of her cheek. "Intoxicating doesn't begin to cover it. I... I never thought I would feel this, Lyra. This deep, unburdened **affection**. All those women before... they were never like this. There was always a wall, a game. With Rose, there is nothing. Just pure, unadulterated sweetness. And such courage." She paused, her gaze filled with adoration. "You know, Lyra, she still feels insecure about her body. Calls herself 'plain' or 'too much.'"
Lyra's eyes softened further, a fierce protectiveness entering them. "I know. But we'll show her. We'll show her every day how beautiful she is. Every inch of her. If she ever wishes to lose a little weight, we will support her, of course. But even then, we'll remind her how much we adore her delicious softness. We love her just as she is, every precious bit of her." She leaned down, nuzzling Rose's side. "My **regordeta, beautiful Rose**. You are perfect."
"Precisely," Seraphina affirmed, her voice filled with tenderness. "We won't call her 'gorda' anymore. She is our **regordeta, beautiful Rose**. Every soft curve, every lovely part of her is a delight. We love everything about her." She then leaned over and pressed a tender kiss to Lyra's forehead. "**Little sister, we have found a truly beautiful flower. Let's be allies and protect this exquisite being.**"
Lyra's smile was genuine, a rare sight. "Never," she confirmed, pulling Rose even closer into their shared warmth. Seraphina nodded, her eyes soft as she gazed at Rose. "Indeed. We shall keep her close. Always."
Exhausted by the day's events, the emotional roller coaster, and the overwhelming affection, Rose finally succumbed to sleep, nestled securely between her mistresses. Her soft snores were a testament to her comfort. As she slept, a faint whisper escaped her lips, "Lyra... Seraphina..." A few tears traced paths down her cheeks, perhaps from the lingering pain, or perhaps from the overwhelming joy. Lyra gently **wiped away Rose's tears with her thumb, then pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.** Seraphina, equally tender, **kissed Rose's ear, a brush of lips that sent a shiver through the sleeping girl.** They adjusted her position, pulling her closer, ensuring she was warm and utterly safe.
They spent the rest of the evening there, cocooned in the quiet luxury of the room. As darkness fell, Seraphina summoned a maid with a subtle gesture, instructing her to prepare the grand master bedchamber. Soon after, Lyra and Seraphina gently lifted their beloved Rose and carried her to the enormous, opulent bed. They laid her in the center, and then, without hesitation, **climbed in on either side, embracing her tightly.** Rose, nestled between their powerful, loving bodies, was enveloped in warmth and security. Her mistresses, their faces soft with adoration, peppered her sleeping face with soft, adoring kisses, both on her forehead and her rosy cheeks. This new closeness, this shared love for Rose, was forging a bond between the sisters that transcended their usual ambitions, making their powerful lives feel infinitely richer, a joy they never knew they were missing. Rose, their unassuming flower, had truly blossomed into their most cherished treasure.
