Rafael didn’t push the issue, understanding how much effort Hera had put into securing her role and how hard she was working to prove herself. Instead, he gave her a reassuring nod.
"Alright, we can always plan it for another ti. Just let know when you’re free, and I’m sure my sister would be thrilled," he said with a warm smile.
He then placed a gentle kiss on her lips, and Hera nodded, a sweet smile tugging at her own as she appreciated his support.
She never knew what it felt like to be truly pampered by her own man. With Alexi, she had always been the one making sacrifices, bending over backward to cater to his wants and needs.
No matter how much effort she put into sothing—even planning their dates—if Alexi claid he wasn’t free or had a drinking engagent with his co-stars, she had no choice but to step aside.
But now, experiencing what it truly ant to be cherished and taken care of, she felt like she was getting addicted to it—so much so that she wasn’t sure she could ever go back.
"Then, I’ll let you know my schedule," Hera said, already planning to share it with all six n. However, she hesitated, unsure of how to bring up the topic.
She simply wanted to be more open with them—gradually letting them into her life, her thoughts, and her heart.
Little by little, she was allowing herself to be vulnerable, and perhaps, one day, she would be ready to share everything with them, including her deepest secret.
"How about we share our schedules with you too?" Luke suggested, gently rubbing Hera’s hair.
He noticed the subtle hesitation in her eyes and wondered if she was thinking about sharing her schedule with everyone, not just Rafael.
That way, they would all know where she was and what she was doing, easing any worries.
Luke also saw it as a great step forward for their relationship—getting to know each other’s schedules would allow them to coordinate their ti with Hera better, while also giving her peace of mind knowing where they were and what they were up to.
After all, with so many n in this relationship, there would inevitably be tis when Hera might feel insecure.
Thoughts could creep into her mind—like worrying that they might tire of sharing her and eventually seek out soone else, or that, because they couldn’t all have their way with her, they might look for other outlets to satisfy their desires.
Luke, understanding that many n can be like that, feared Hera might start to believe they were no different.
To ease her mind, he proposed sharing their schedules with her—so she could have a sense of transparency and reassurance, knowing that their intentions were genuine and they were all committed to her.
"Wouldn’t it feel suffocating, constantly being with and without any privacy, especially if even your schedules were shared with ?" Hera asked hesitantly.
She didn’t want to co across as controlling, worried that her suggestion might push the male leads too hard.
She knew none of them would appreciate feeling suffocated, and the last thing she wanted was to create any misunderstandings at this point.
After all, she was aware that Alice was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to get closer to the n, and she couldn’t afford to give her any leverage.
Zhane chuckled softly, his thumb gently stroking Hera’s cheek. "Hera, we’re the ones offering this, so it will make it easier for all of us to coordinate our schedules."
"This way, we can plan date nights or carve out ti for ourselves without interfering with your commitnts. It ensures that we’re not disrupting your plans when we suddenly have free ti, or leaving you to be alone when you’re free." His calm, thoughtful explanation imdiately eased the tension in Hera’s chest. She nodded, her heart feeling lighter.
With six of them and only one Hera, it seed nearly impossible for all of them to be busy at the sa ti without leaving soone free to be with her.
Once Luke introduced the idea, both Rafael and Zhane quickly realized it was a smart approach.
By coordinating their schedules, they could ensure that at least one of them would always be available to spend ti with Hera.
At the sa ti, they could also give her space when needed, allowing her to have ti alone or with friends, so she wouldn’t feel overwheld by their presence.
With this vague plan now taking shape, they just needed to follow through and make it work.
Fortunately, they all shared a similar wavelength, which made it easy for them to pick up on each other’s intentions, even when their thoughts were only partially expressed.
Seeing that Hera was actually considering their suggestion made Luke, Zhane, and Rafael smile in unison.
With a shared sense of satisfaction, they escorted her to the dining table, where Hannah was just about finished preparing their al.
Zhane, in particular, had woken up early to ask Hannah to prepare a nourishing breakfast for Hera, knowing how exhausted she had been from her late nights and the stress of helping with the investigation at Avery’s branch office.
Hannah, always attentive to their needs, had prepared a premium bird’s nest soup made from red bird’s nest, also known as the blood nest, renowned for its high quality and expense.
The dish was a luxurious treat, ant to help restore Hera’s energy and offer her so well-deserved comfort.
Hannah had also prepared additional dishes to help replenish Hera’s energy and promote better blood circulation, following a recipe Zhane had provided.
Among the als were ingredients specifically chosen to soothe sore muscles and clear the mind, offering Hera the rest and rejuvenation she needed.
Zhane had been ticulous in ensuring that none of the ingredients contradicted one another, which could have diminished the nutritional benefits.
Instead, he had carefully selected foods that complented each other, maximizing their combined effectiveness to create a al that would truly nourish and revitalize Hera.
More than just nourishing, the breakfast was absolutely delicious.
Hera couldn’t help but nod in approval as she took a sip of the bird’s nest soup, savoring the delicate flavors. Luke, Zhane, and Rafael, noticing her enjoynt, eagerly served her more food.
"Try this vegetable dish too," Zhane suggested with a smile, placing it on Hera’s plate. "It’ll cleanse your palate, and then you can enjoy the at dish more fully." Rafael quickly followed suit, placing a savory at dish next to the vegetables.
Hera eagerly dug into everything they placed in front of her, grateful for the food after the exertion of the previous night’s activities with Luke and Rafael she was hungry and felt like she could devour a whole cow.
The thought of their ti together made her heart race, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
No matter how often it happened, she couldn’t seem to get used to it.
Every ti, she still felt that familiar shyness creeping in, especially when she recalled how bold and seductive she’d been in those monts.
Hera lowered her head, taking a sip of her soup to hide the flush of embarrassnt creeping up her cheeks.
Thankfully, no one noticed, as they were all focused on feeding her, engrossed in making sure she ate well.
