She gazed at the glistening teardrops of emerald, ruby, and diamond as the morning sun reflected upon their radiance. Occasionally, she would check on the boys who were playing in the fields. She smiled seeing their joy and her mind would wander to Demetri's whereabouts. She did not let it worry her, knowing a hunt would require complete concentration and her fears might distract him.
She heard the children laugh especially in delight, her sign that Demetri had returned with their breakfast. Leaning to better look at him, her heart became aflutter at the sight of him, shirtless, carrying a dead stag over his shoulders. She sighed as he walked toward the mouth of the cave... Oh, how he tortured her so, she thought as she laughed. As he passed her by, he planted a small kiss upon her cheek as though he had read her thoughts. Leoun urged the children inside as their father laid down the meat.
Her eyes were planted solely on Demetri as she was lost in a trance. So much ran throughout her mind: the pledge, his rescue... In truth, perhaps a small part of her was still trying to grasp that this wonderful man was now her's... If only it had felt more... formal... Hmm...
Demetri smiled tenderly as his sons ran in, both seeming to try to sink their teeth in the stag he had caught. He laughed as little Zephyr wrinkled his nose as he tasted its blood.
ReplyDeleteHe turned his gaze to Leoun, noticing her penetrating stare. With a wicked smile he walked over to her drawing her against him and kissed her lovingly. Her delicate hands rested on his bare chest and they would have gotten lost in the moment had not little Ryder began to shout in protest at their open affection.
Demetri and Leoun laughed softly and walked over to their hungry children.
"I will go butcher this then, you'll have your hands full entertaining the little ones." He picked up the kill once more and strode to the kitchen. He began Leoun's sudden nervousness. Worried, he turned his gaze to her. . . She didn't make eye contact. . . Its. . . nothing. He thought shaking his head as he continued to cut into the meat.
Her thoughts were muddled together, how should she proceed? She had nothing to make it even slightly perfect; she might as well have dropped the whole notion together. And yet the thought of his reaction pleased her and like a moth drawn to light, she was determined to see it. Why was she so nervous, though? Was she afraid he might say no?
ReplyDeleteShe shook her head, it was a silly notion... So stop feeling so giddy, Leoun! "Boys," she called. They approached her and she knelt down to them, whispering, "Want to help me get daddy a present?"
Demetri could feel Leoun's sudden excitement. He glanced over his shoulder, seeing his sons and Leoun gathered around in a far off corner. He couldn't see what they were up to.
ReplyDeleteIt's nothing Demetri, he assured himself as he finished cutting the last piece. He separated the meat and cleaned up the excess blood.
Maybe you should clean off your blood too? He thought quietly as he looked down on himself. With a sigh he moved to the shower, his thoughts wondering to what Leoun and the children were up to.
She carved into a piece of stone, hollowing out the center while her children picked amongst the assortment of jewels she collected for them. Did men wear diamonds on their engagement bands? She wasn't sure, she had never seen one... except for Za-
ReplyDeleteShe hissed, his name bringing back the flood of memories once more. Damn that bastard... he'll never die if I keep this up.
Ryder and Zephyr brought armfuls of gems they liked and Leoun sighed. She laughed as they argued which color would be better; Zephyr partial to the ruby red and Ryder to the emerald green. Amused at their quarrels, she finally decided upon the clear diamond. Keep it simple... It's the thought that counts, right? She nudged the small diamond within the stone ring as she hurriedly asked the boys to clean up.
No longer able to contain his curiosity Demetri dressed himself patting his hair dry with a towel. He walked over to Leoun and the children whom seemed oddly. . . calm. They looked at him intently, Demetri stopping mid stride as he looked at the three. He raise a curious brow as he noticed Leoun had a great grin upon her face.
ReplyDelete"What's going on?" He asked as Leoun stepped forward. Zephyr and Ryder giggled ominously.
"I have something to ask you." Demetri eyed her, feeling the excitement the poured from her.
She suddenly blanked. What should she do now that the roles were switched? She absurdly thought about getting down on one knee and pushed that from her mind. Do something quick before I die of anticipation, she thought.
ReplyDeleteShe let out a small sigh and took his left hand, her eyes fixated upon Demetri's. She would have lost herself in them but she forced herself to remain focused. She drew from her pocket the ring and, placing it gently upon his finger, asked, "Demetri Wolfheart... my love... Will you marry me?"
Demetri's heart nearly stopped as she placed the ring on his finger. A slow blush crept upon his face as he realized how. . . awkward this felt.
ReplyDelete". . . Um. .. Leoun, love. . . ah. . ." He was at a loss for words. It went against all his instincts. He should be the one proposing, not her.
Feeling the flicker of panic she began to feel Demetri shook his head, gathering his thought.
He drew her close to him and whispered lovingly in her ear, "Of course Leoun. . . I just wish. . ." He couldn't find the strength to finnish, knowing all too well her pride would cause her to grow angry with him.
Oh Leoun, she thought, how could you be so stupid? She should've known it would end up like this. Of course, the both of them were raised in royal houses... This went against every single teaching they were instilled. Her gut wrenched as she thought of how impatient she must have appeared. But Demetri... you signed your life away to me... Can I not do the same for you?
ReplyDeleteShe looked within his eyes and, nodding lightly, placed a tender kiss on his lips. Ugh. So traditional, she thought. Oh well... it's the thought that counts, remember?
"Thank you, Demetri... You've made me so happy."
He kissed her, bringing her wonderful body close to his.
ReplyDelete"I love you Leoun." He whispered against her lips. She giggled, as his hands traveled down her hips, caressing them softly.
"Ew!" The boys squirmed. Demetri drew back slightly and they laughed.
"Alright, alright. Not now. . . but later." He caressed her cheek before bounding off to the kitchen to properly cook the meat.
Well, she had done it. The one thing in her life she never would have imagined would happened. And for a wolf... True, she herself never felt any special spite towards them, but her mother had always disapproved. Leoun shivered as her mind crossed Dusk. What would she say now? Leoun sighed; No, don't think about such things. It's over and done with now... and there's nothing she can do to change any of it. And for that, Leoun was glad.
ReplyDeleteShe faced the children who ran towards her to grant her a hug. She knelt down to welcome them in her arms, though she did it too fast and suddenly became dizzy. She shook her head, trying to shake it off. It did not. There was a small churning in the pit of her stomach. Her breath cut short at such a reaction, she stumbled onto the floor.
"Mommy!" both boys cried as they crowded around her. It's alright, she tried to say; all the while another voice in her mind ordering, "Get up, Leoun! You can't let them see you like this!" But it grew progressively worse and she moaned in protest. She hadn't felt this kind of illness since her pregnancy with Zephyr and Ryder...
He felt Leoun's sudden dizziness, he could feel her desperation to be strong for the boys.
ReplyDelete"Daddy!" his son's cried together and within an instant he was next to Leoun, cradling her in his arms.
"Leoun! What's wrong love?" He asked desperately attempting to find a way to help her.
"Demetri. . ."She gasped. He picked her up carrying her to the bed. The boys followed, Ryder was crying while Zephyr seemed to try to comfort his brother.
"Its alright love." He moved a stray strand of her hair. He kissed her lightly on the lips and allowed his wolf to lend Leoun its strength.
She gasped as she felt a small wave of relief wash over her, leaving her almost lightheaded with euphoria. She panted, not quite in necessity, but to calm her racing heart. Don't think about it, she urged herself. No, no... Please, no... I can't be...
ReplyDeleteAnd here arose another swell of discomfort, and Leoun moaned in protest all the while attempting to keep her composure. He can't know. What am I saying? It's not true!! No!
"Leoun? Darling, what's wrong?" She looked deep into his eyes, finding the reflection of fear and concern on the surface. If it's true... then he's going to find out no matter what.
He could sense her sudden fear.
ReplyDelete"Leoun, darling tell m-" And suddenly he knew, without her saying a single word he knew what was she so feared for him to know. She was pregnant. . . and it was not with his child. A sudden anger rose within Demetri as he thought of the vampire. He growled softly. Leoun looked at him, eyes widened with pain as she thought he was angered at her.
"No Leoun, no," He held her tightly against him, "I am not angered by you. It isn't your fault. . .it isnt" It was the bastards fault. Demetri should have kept him alive so that he could torture the living shit out of him. He closed his eyes as Leoun began to weep. He knew how to take her pain away, and that was all that mattered. His wolf agreed completely as, together, they filled Leoun's heart with comfort, as they did so they transfered her fear and utter disgust into themselves.
"What. . . are you doing Demetri?!" Leoun gasped.
"The only thing I can do love. . . the only thing I can offer you." He kissed her softly before laying her back upon the bed.
"Mommy, mommy!" The boys jumped onto the bed. Ryder was in tears and running to his mothers embrace as Zephyr seemed to remain calm, though Demetri could see his son's pain. As Leoun comforted Ryder, Demetri took little Zephyr into his arms.
"You are brave Zephyr, even braver than I." A small smile spread across his face as he snuggled his face into Demetri's neck.
"Mommy ok?" He mumbled. Demetri held him close.
"Yes, mommy will be ok."
She held the sleeping Ryder in her arms as he nuzzled into her chest. She sighed, watching as the minutes passed a slow baby bump beginning to form. Memories of that despicable vampire flashed across her mind, yet all she felt was hatred. Not even the bitter disgust she had towards herself for being so easily taken was present. And she was suddenly shocked what replaced the void where that disgust had once been...
ReplyDeleteDemetri approached her and took Ryder in one arm, Zephyr slowing dozing in his other. She gave him a small grin as he walked away with the boys to put them to bed for their coming afternoon nap. He returned and sat next on the edge of the bed, rubbing her arm. His eyes avoided her's.
And whether it was the knowledge of the pain shared between them, or the unsatisfying deprivation, Leoun leapt onto him and her lips held fast to his. He was awakened from his shocked state when he felt her hand move to his crotch.
"Leoun," he breathed. She could hear in his gasps his attempts to break away and discourage her advances, but deep down she knew he shared her desires. That one night between them was not enough. They both wanted more.
Demetri groaned as Leoun ground her hand against him. Damn himself. . . he grew instantly hard.
ReplyDelete"Leoun. . w..wait!" He tried to say but Leoun was determined to have him and damn if he didnt want her too but he knew all too well he would not take her the way she was used to. No. . . his wolf growled in anticipation at the thought, he would take her like a wolf. He didn't want to do that to her, she deserved better.
"Demetri, love me." As soon as she gasped those words he was lost. Instantly he flipped her over on her stomach, one hand bringing her hips to his. He rocked against her slowly and she moaned. He leaned in to her ear and whispered, "Leoun, you do not want me to take you now. . . I won't do it in any civilized matter. . . you deserve to be made love to, not taken like an animal."
"Oh, Demetri..." She moaned, throwing her head back to whisper in his ear. "You won't be only one bringing the animal to the table." He shivered as her vampiric instincts took hold, sending luscious waves of lust from her body. Her breaths were hot and wet; she reached behind as her claws slowly tore apart the fabric of his shirt. She moaned as his hand immediately groped her thigh, moving slowly upward threatening to remove her shield of clothes.
ReplyDelete"Release me," she sighed, her fangs elongating.
His wolf immediately responded. Within the second her clothes were ripped apart leaving her beautiful body exposed. He reached between her legs, his fingers slowly finding her core, Leoun moaned revealing her magnificent fangs and he purred in response. She began to rub against him, his wolf urged him to take her, ruthlessly, and damn. . . he tried his hardest to ignore it but it was impossible. He thrust deep into her. She cried out and he felt wave after wave of her lust and pleasure. He growled deep within his throat taking her without a second thought, his firm hands holding her hips in place. He was completely lost in her.
ReplyDeleteHer breaths were short, her mouth often preoccupied with Demetri's lips when they were not devouring her body. She rolled her hips into his, tightening her muscles so that he fit snugly inside of her. She cried out as doing this made his thrusts harder and more frequent. She forgot her own name in the pure ecstasy of it all, but Demetri's rang loudly through her mind; calling to him, urging him, and flat out screaming it to him in her endless state of lust and euphoria.
ReplyDeleteShe bit softly yet firmly into his neck, the red hot liquid dripping lightly down their bodies. Bathing in the small droplets of blood, she sighed as the waves of heat increased. She resigned herself completely to him, taking in the sensuality of his actions as he responded especially to the tides of her increasing lust.
He gasped as he felt her fangs sink into his neck. Utter ecstasy took him as he thrust deep within her. They cried out in unison as their bodies were taken by their climax. He felt every wave that took her, every lust fulled moment she felt, it was amazing.
ReplyDelete"I love you Leoun, God, I love you." He gasped. Her eyes looked into his, love reflecting upon them
"I love you too Demetri, i love you so much." Never before had he felt such a connection. He welcomed every moment of it.
Time went on endlessly for the both of them, their heated passion rolling them onto the floor at one point. Leoun's voice quivered with every stroke, every taste, and the bond between them expose Demetri equally to her pleasures. It was never enough. Eventually they moved on to different maneuvers: doggie style, 69, everything. A slow, fanged smile spread across Leoun's face as she threw Demetri onto his back, straddling him. She preyed upon his neck and stroked his chest, her hands gliding downward. Demetri's glorious moans filled her ears as he arched into her and she rocked against his body as the most fulfilling orgasm consumed her. She reached up to kiss him, their lips locked and their tongues at war. It was as though her desire for Demetri was boundless and she lavished every moment with him. I love you, Demetri, she thought, repeating the joy of those words without end. I love you with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteHe groaned as Leon took him. Never before had he been submissive, he had never been beneath a female but then again, he had never been with Leoun. Not like this. Her nails dug into his chest as she rocked her body against his. Her tongue stroked his and he relished in every moment they shared.
ReplyDelete"Leoun," He moaned her name as they reached their climax. His hands moved to her waist, holding her firmly against him. But this was not enough, not for either of them. It was as if they had been deprived of each other for years. Their desire was now only yo take each other in every way imaginable.
He rolled, bringing Leoun beneath him. His lips capturing hers as his hand moved to caress her hips. He breathed in her sweet scent, it was completely intoxicating to him. His kiss moved from her luscious lips, moving down to her neck as his tongue stroked her. Her hands were now tangled in his hair as he thrust deeper still into her. She cried out his name over and over. His name never sounded so perfect coming from her.
"My beautiful Leoun,"He said breathily against her throat. "I could spend an eternity in you." He drew back watching her cry out his name as she took her orgasm. Her body shuttered and he could feel every wave as it took her. "Absolutely beautiful." He whispered. He leaned back in kissing her softly, her breathes were heavy as she tried to catch her breath. He purred as he felt her delicate hand reach between them. Apparently, his little vampire wanted more. He was ready to comply only faintly he heard a child's voice say, "Daddy?" It took him a moment to register what it was. Oh... damn. In one swift movement he reached up, pulling the beds cover over Leoun and himself. Well . . . this was going to be difficult to explain. . .
Her chest heaved heavily as she struggled to catch her breath; other than that she remained still. It was at first on pure instinct for the vampire within was still in charge of her actions, but when she caught the scent of who the intruder was she snapped back to reality. Oh shit.
ReplyDelete"What's goin' on? I smell blood." It was Zephyr and, though her entire vision was blocked by Demetri's bare and sweaty body, she could tell Ryder was probably behind his brother. She licked her lips, trying to wipe away Demetri's blood on her fangs. Demetri almost grinned as he saw this.
"We heard Mommy screaming," piped up little Ryder, his voice saturated in fear. "Are you hurting her!?" Oh, he was hurting me alright, the vampire within purred. Leoun closed her eyes, trying to gather her composure. Of all the rotten luck...
Demetri groaned as he struggled to find an answer. His wolf was not fully under control, it still yearned to take Leoun over and over. To have her beautiful body against his. . . her sweet-
ReplyDelete"i demand an answer!" He raised an astonished eyebrow at his son ,Zephyr.
"No, Zephyr, I was not hurting your mother." He didn't know what else to say. He cleared his throat, "Zephyr. . . take your brother to your room, i will be there shortly." When Zephyr did not move Demetri added, "Now." With a huff Zephyr took Ryder and left for their room. This was going to be a longer night than he thought. . .
Leoun giggled in spite of herself and Demetri shot her an amused look. She shifted to support herself on her elbows and kissed him lightly on the lips. Kissing her back, he could taste the deep hunger within her...
ReplyDelete"We'll pick this up another time," she whispered, and she spoke the words not as a comfort: but as a promise. He laughed airily beneath her lips, eager for when that promise would be kept. Even now, before he stood to dress and address his children, he couldn't help but take her one last time. His hand moved down her waist and between her legs, and Leoun giggled silently as he massaged her core. She betrayed a small gasp as her body shivered and Demetri smiled in satisfaction. He kissed her head and proceeded to get up to dress.
With one last look at his Leoun he went to his son's room. They sat on the bed ,Zephyr running a comforting hand on Ryder's back. He cleared his throat to get their attention.
ReplyDelete"Boys," They looked at him, confusion clouding their eyes. He sighed as he sat on their bed beside them.
"What was going on?" Zephyr asked. He turned a loving gaze at his son.
"Your. . . mother is fine boys. The blood was mine. She was. . . just. . . drinking. . . from me."
"But why was she screamin'?" Ryder spoke up, even as he moved closer to his older brother.
"Oh, . . . boys, your. . . mommy fell off... the bed. And she got, . . that is. . . she dislocated her shoulder. And, . . . I had to pop it back into place." He smiled nervously at them, hoping that they would take the story and this horrid nightmare would be over.
Zephyr and Ryder glanced at each other, a small unspoken agreement seemed to pass through them and they smiled up at him. He breathed a sigh of relief as the boys threw themselves at him.
"Ok daddy" He held them close and stayed with them until they fell back to their peaceful slumber.
He leaned in, placing a soft kiss on their foreheads and tucked them in.
Well. . . he just dodged a bullet.
He came back into the room, his eyes fixated on Leoun as she had dressed herself in a slender, tight dress. He paid no mind to the small bump on her stomach; instead he was distracted as Leoun bent down to pick up a fallen hair piece, the hem of her dress riding up her thigh.
ReplyDelete"You're killing me, Leoun," he chimed. Her eyes flashed to him and she smiled. She rose slowly to her feet, noticing too how the neck line of the dress flaunted her breasts. He walked over to her and planted a kiss on her lips. "What's the occasion, my love?"
"No occasion," she giggled. "My hormones are just seriously out of whack. I just really wanted to wear it!" She turned on the spot, her long flowing brown hair billowing. "How do I look?"
"Radiant." He caught her by the waist, drawing her closer to him, "Beautiful."He kissed her, his tongue stroking hers."Sexy." He drew her closer still. "Delicious."
ReplyDeleteShe giggled against his lips as his hands dropped down to her the small of her back.
"I want to take you out." He said suddenly. She looked absolutely gorgeous and he wanted to take her somewhere where her beauty could be admired. . . and for everyone to know that she belonged to his. The thought suddenly brought him back to reality. . .He was still very much exiled, he could not show his face in public without the risk of execution.
"I would love to!" Leoun chimed in, but his expression told her something was wrong. He could feel her sudden worried emotions.
"I. . . ah, Leoun, I'm sorry my love. I just. . remembered... i can't." He braced himself for her to become disappointed or sad, but he still felt her joyful waves of emotion. Demetri's gaze flickered to hers as she smiled up at him. Maybe this was her hormones?
"Oh, it's alright, Demetri." She kissed him. "I just wanted to know if it pleased you." Leoun smiled against his lips, her heart aflutter. Honestly, where WAS this euphoria coming from? He stared into her eyes, a small flash of disappointment glazing the surface. She could tell he truly wished to go out with her.
ReplyDelete"We can still go out, love. I'll protect you," she chuckled, wrapping her arms around his waist and staring up into his face. "But let's do it quickly, I want to have time to keep my promise." She traced his lips joyously, pressing her body up against him.
He smiled at Leoun, "Darling, you can't fight off an army." He brought her hands to his lips and pressed a soft kiss into them.
ReplyDelete"It's alright love, i don't really like the public anyway." He drew her close to him. With a fluid movement he picked her up, carrying her to the cascades of the water fall at the mouth of the cave.
"Demetri-" He silenced her with a kiss. He eased them into the water, they shuttered as the cold hit their skin.
"Why here?" Leoun asked curiously. Demetri answered with a wicked smile, and said "Because then the boys can't hear you scream as I take you over," As if to prove his point he rocked against her, "and over, until we pass out."
She moaned as the dress came undone, her hand reached below the water line as she unbuttoned his pants. They didn't even wait to shed their clothes completely; it was as though the dimmed fire of their passion lit up to it's brightest once more in an instant. True to his word, Demetri took her with every thrust, every cry, until nothing else existed but the desire to keep going and feel the pleasure of their union forever. Hours they spent engrossed in each other; Demetri would taunt her whenever her energy seemed spent, only to have her taunt him back as soon as she got her second wind. But it never, ever was enough and the night stretched on endlessly for these passionate lovers.
