If You Come Softly Audiobook Novels & Stories

came the voice. I knew it was Ezra’s but I didn't believe it cause the voice was softer. Not as soft or easy but it was lighter than the tone he used on me before. Has he finally forgiven me? “Come on, do what I said,” he commanded as a coach should and I did as told.

“Which means you’re thinking. Which means you’re spiraling.” “I’m fine.” A soft, disbelieving huff. “You’re never fine when you stop wearing cufflinks.” Elias exhaled sharply, the sound rough in the stillness. “Is that your new diagnostic tool?” “It’s highly effective.” A beat of silence stretched, thick and fragile. The city’s distant pulse thrummed through the glass. Then Elias spoke, the words raw, barely more than a whisper scraped from somewhere deep and unprotected: “I don’t know how to be soft without you.”

He told me in a soft voice, which somehow seemed to calm me down immensely. We kicked off our shoes and left them by the front door, before Adam led me deeper into his home, and I couldn’t help but admire the warm and inviting atmosphere that lingered here. The soft glow of dimmed lights, the soothing scent of wood, and the cozy furnishings all combined to create a romantic ambiance that was impossible to resist, or maybe that was just the person who was with me, who made me feel all of these things?

“Let yourself go, Soph… listen to my voice. Feel… and breathe.” A distressed moan is forced out of me. I clench my fingers in my lap, clutch my dress so tightly. Squeeze my toes till my slippers slip off my feet. Heat fills me up. Another sound slips out of my lips—a softer one. Unrecognizable. “That’s it…” He whispers, caressing. “You’re so soft, Soph… and warm.” My head swims, my body relaxing. I lean further into him. “Arch your back like you did for me the other day…”

Then it happened. I shifted too close, too eager, and my shoulder clipped the door. The sound was faint, just a small thud, but in that quiet it was deafening. I cursed under my breath, instinct pushing me to leave before she noticed. My hand had already started to pull away from the frame when her head tilted toward the door. For a heartbeat, the air stood still, And then her voice came—low, soft, but clear enough to slice right through me. “You can come in…”

Slowly but surely-really almost in the fashion of a gentle caress-every morsel found its way to his throat, onwards to his belly, almost as if it were a seduction act. Much thanks, my dearest. The voice was so soft, and the words seemed so genuine that I can almost believe he meant it. Like a gentle stream, the words came from him, flowing endlessly, unabated, as if choking would kill their flow. Who are you? I spoke without delay, my tone firm yet coaxing, attempting to extract the truth gently without pushing him away.

Cole called again. This time his voice was soft, like a whisper brushing against my ear. “Cole…” I mumbled back, my voice weak and trembling. “Come here,” he said. “Come to me.” “Where are you?” I glanced around. The darkness devoured everything. I couldn’t trace the source of his voices. My hands fumbled around me. “Please, tell me. Where are you? Am I dead?” “I told you to come here,” he said. The softness suddenly vanished. “Do I need to repeat myself? Come here and kneel.”

Someone else. Softness. The next time I opened my eyes, I was drowning in softness. Warmth. Gentle fabrics. Silken sheets under my fingertips. A faint herbal scent hung in the air, clean, comforting, expensive. Definitely not the infirmary. Not a cell. Not the dirt of some alley where they’d leave a corpse like mine to rot. I blinked slowly, chest still aching, breath ragged. “Zane.” His voice pulled me fully back, threading through the fog in my skull like silk dragged across raw skin.

I heard a familiar voice cold voice but this time it was a bit soft and suddenly i felt someone tucking me in the soft blanket making me snuggle closer into it as I fall into the land of darkness. . . .

That's all. As I got closer, I heard something. Soft. Breathy. I froze instantly.
