Dreams and Night Terrors

[Persephone]

His body felt so good against hers, and the water rushing down them made it that much better. Persephone kept her arms around Alek, holding him, telling him that she wanted him again and again. He picked up the palm of her hand and kissed it, her eyes shutting at the feel.

Alek: "I could make love to you for the rest of my life, nonstop."

The thought sounded absolutely amazing.

"I wish you would."

She whispered against his skin, wanting nothing more than to be lost within him for the rest of her life. Alek managed to turn around to face her, Persephone's hands never leaving his body as he did so. He reached for the body wash as he leaned into her ear.

Alek: "If I rub this all over your body, I'm going to need to have you again."

The grin that followed his statement made Persephone's eyes smile and bite her lip in anticipation. He began to pour the wash over her chest, her body instinctively arching into his touch as he began to massage her breasts. A soft moan escaped her lips as his hands slid over her arms and back before he knelt down and began to wash her legs. His hands slid up her ass as Persephone watched him, her hands going into his hair as his fingers gently glided across her sex making her tense with need. But he stood, the tease of his fingers leaving her wet and wanting more. Alek began to shampoo her hair, and after the water had rinsed them both clean, he shut it off and they both exited the shower. He began to gently dry her off before taking her by the hand and escorting her back into the bedroom. He gently pushed her to sit on the bed, her damp hair already starting to curl as it began to dry. Alek removed his towel that was wrapped around his waist revealing he was already so hard that it was impossible for Persephone's eyes not to take him in.

Alek: "I need you Persephone..."

Finally she lifted her eyes to meet with his, the need apparent in hers as well. Persephone took Alek's hand, pulling him toward her as she began to move further back onto the bed. Her mouth met his heatedly, holding herself up to kiss him as he climbed on top of her. He fit perfectly between her legs and slid into her instantly causing her to break the kiss and breathlessly moan out. She was already still sensitive and the sensation of him filling her again was indescribable. Persephone rolled them both over so she was on top now. Her hands braced herself on his chest as she began to grind into him over and over again, her hips rolling back and forth like the waves of the ocean. Sounds of pleasure escaped her lips, her face matching the noises.

"Alek...Alek..."

His name was on her lips as her head fell back and eyes shut in ecstasy at the feel of him completely filling her. Pants of air matched her moans, his hips still grinding against him relentlessly. She felt him hitting her spot, keeping the motion consistent until the pressure began to build with in her. Grasping one of his hands while the other remained on his chest, her moans became louder and more urgent as did her movements until the riptide of pleasure overtook her body. Crying out through her orgasm, she continued to fuck him as she came, the feel of him pushing through her contractions making her hunch over and capture his mouth, kissing him feverishly.

"Come on baby...come for me...."

She panted between the kiss, her eyes locked with his as she kept rolling her pelvis against him over and over again, knowing he wouldn't last long. She wanted to drive him mad with pleasure. She wanted to see it in his eyes as he reached his point of release.

The Bedroom

Alek revealed himself, and it was a beat before her eyes raised to meet his. She took his hand, but her eyes would have been enough to make him follow her onto the bed. Her lips pressed against his as he climbed between her legs, sliding easily into her wetness. Seph moaned, then rolled them over, putting her hands on his chest and grinding her hips against him.

She called his name, and that coupled with her movements made him moan out loudly. His hands went to her breasts, massaging them, loving the swelling she was experiencing. Her head fell backwards and he watched her ride him, her body moving with increasing urgency above him until she came, body shuddering. She leaned over to take his mouth.

"Come on baby...come for me...."

She didn't stop, her eyes locking with his as she kept moving her hips. He felt the pressure build, grunting out. Seph was unrelentless, and when he thought he couldn't take it any more, he finally came, his hips thrusting hard into her.

He was breathless, staring up into her eyes, and then he opened his arms for her.

 

[Persephone]

Alek's moans only increased her desire for him more. She felt his hands slip over her breasts, cupping them, massaging them. Her moans matched his as her hands covered his, arching her chest into his touch. He was like a magnet and her body was drawn to his touch, wanting him yet always needing him. She began to come against him, his hips pushing him deeper and deeper through her contractions. Grunting out moans at the feel of him filling her so completely, Persephone finally collapsed forward, claiming Alek's mouth as her hips relentlessly ground into his over and over again. She wanted him to come. She needed him to. She needed to feel his release, to see it in his eyes, to see the desire fulfilled.

She pushed her pelvis low, holding him fully within her as she rotated them in a circle and let up, pushing him in and out again and again. Gripping his neck with one hand, the other was positioned next to his head holding herself upright. Panting out, her eyes never left his. She could feel his body tense beneath her and she knew he was close. Her breathing quickened in short gasps, seeing the change in his face, seeing he was about to come. Persephone's mouth parted in anticipation, feeling herself on the brink as well. Then finally, Alek lifted his hips to meet with hers hard, thrusting himself fully and deeply within her as he came, ultimately causing Persephone to come with him.

Breathless, Persephone looked into Alek's eyes for a long moment, her fingers brushing along his beard. He opened his arms and wrapped them around her, Persephone laying her body on top of his and resting her cheek against his chest. Still catching her breath, she shut her eyes as they remained intimately connected, not wanting to part with him just yet.

"I love you."

She whispered, her body relaxing on top of his completely. They still had an hour before they had to go, but all Persephone wanted to do was lay with Alek until the last possible second.

 

[Berserker]

The Bedroom

Seph rested her head against his chest, fitting perfectly into his waiting arms. He held her, the warmth of her body as comforting as a blanket. He stroked her hair, and his fingers softly caressed the skin of her back.

"I love you."

"I love you so much, Seph."

He leaned his head down to kiss the top of her head.

"You make me feel so alive, like I can do anything."

He grinned, even though she could see it, and a low rumble came from his chest as he chuckled.

"And you fucking give my cock a workout."

He squeezed her tight, settling her body against him, feeling a peace come over him.

"Seph?"

He sighed out happily, his eyes closing.

"Thank you for our children."

 

[Persephone]

Laying in his arms just felt perfect. The sun was beating through the sheer white drapes, pouring over them as warmly as the shower they had just left. Sighing out, she told Alek she loved him, her eyes shutting at the contentment she felt in that moment still connected together.

Alek: "I love you so much, Seph. You make me feel so alive, like I can do anything."

She smiled, feeling him kiss the top of her head tenderly. Gently rubbing his smooth chest, tracing her fingers along the divot of his scar absentmindedly.

"You make me feel so loved."

She admitted softly, never feeling love from someone so strongly as she felt from Alek. Persephone then heard the low rumble of chuckling from his chest.

Alek: "And you fucking give my cock a workout."

Persephone's smile broadened as she too began to laugh, tilting her head up to look at him as she finally slipped off from on top of him and snuggled against him. Her leg was still hooked around him and half her body was still on him, not wanting to move too far away.

"Well...if you want to abstain...."

She teased playfully before kissing his chest.

Alek: "Seph?"

Persephone looked up at Alek, seeing him sigh out and shut his eyes with such a serene expression.

Alek: "Thank you for our children."

She was silent for a moment as she stared at him, her eyes now glassy and brows furrowed at his words. How could he thank her for something that she could never find the words to thank him for? He gave her a family that she had wanted for 3,000 years. It didn't seem right....didn't seem fair....but it made her feel amazing. Taking his hand, she placed it against her flat stomach and held it there, her eyes shutting.

"Thank you for choosing me."

They stayed like that for the rest of the morning until they finally had to part bodies and get dressed to pick up Lily. Persephone left her hair natural after it had dried from their shower and changed into a some flowy black slacks and a floral bustier. She finally didn't feel like death warmed over so she wanted to dress in something other than sweats, considering that was her main staple for the past couple of days. Plus, she wanted to take advantage of showing off her figure while she still could.

Persephone smoothed her hands up Alek's chest, smiling at how handsome he looked.

"All the little girls are going to be swooning over you."

She teased with a little laugh, giving him a kiss before they walked hand in hand to the car. It didn't take long before they were in the pick up lane of Lily's private school. Persephone could see Lily jumping and playing with some children as they all waited for their parents to arrive. Smiling, she hoped the fears Alek had would subside once he saw that Lily was adjusting well and making friends. Alek pulled to a stop and Persephone climbed out of the car.

"Ellaria!"

Smiling widely as Lily saw her, Lily ran to the bench to pick up her backpack.

Little Boy: "Is that your mommy?"

Lily: "Uh huh!"

Little Boy: "Wooow."

Lily giggled as she ran by the group of little boys who stared with their mouths open. Persephone couldn't help but chuckle but soon greeted Lily with a big hug, picking her up and opening the door of the car.

"How was school, baby?"

Lily: "Good!"

Persephone put Lily into her car seat.

Lily: "Hi daddy!"

She said happily as she was being strapped in. Persephone closed the door and went to her seat, turning to the little boys still watching and giving them a wink. Their eyes went wide as she climbed into the car.

"Ready to go to lunch?"

Lily: "YEAH! I'm hungry. I ate my snack early....and my friends snack too."

She said with a little shrug making Persephone chuckle.

"Like father like daughter."

 

[Berserker]

Santorini

He dozed, hand touching Seph's stomach, her body curled up against him. He could have stayed like that all day, but they needed to pick Lily up from her half day of school. He pulled on slacks and a loose shirt, not buttoned all the way up. Seph came out of her closet wearing a top that looked like underwear. She smoothed her hands up his chest, and he got an even better view of the pregnancy breasts she was showing off.

"All the little girls are going to be swooning over you."

"Just what I aspired to in life."

He grinned, but then his expression turned questioning.

"Aren't you...aren't you going to put a shirt on over that?"

As stubborn as Seph was, no, she was not going to put on a shirt on, and nothing he said was going to convince her. He took her hand as they walked to the car for the short drive to Lily's school. He pulled into the drive and put the car in park. He spotted Lily, and watched her quietly, smiling. It was good to see her with other children, and looking so happy. Seph got out of the car and called to Lily.

He turned around while Seph was getting Lily into her car seat.

Lily: "Hi daddy!"

"How's my little flower? We missed you so much while you were at school."

He gave Seph a look as she winked at the little boys waiting for their parents and got into the car.

"They're six, Seph."

He put the car in drive and pulled out into the driveway and out to the road, heading towards town.

"Ready to go to lunch?"

Lily: "YEAH! I'm hungry. I ate my snack early....and my friends snack too."

"Like father like daughter."

"Hey - we bears need sustenance. That's what lets us hibernate. Right, Lily?"

Lily: "Right Daddy!"

"Well, when we get to the restaurant, you can order anything you want, baby."

He glanced at Seph.

"You too, baby."

He grinned at her, reaching out and rubbing her stomach. He looked back at Lily in the rearview mirror.

"So, it looked like you were having fun playing there after school. Are the kids in your class nice?"

 

[Persephone]

Persephone came out of the walk in closet dressed and actually feeling like herself for the first time in days. They were going out for lunch and shopping and she wanted to wear something nice that revealed her shape while she still had it. She saw Alek dressed casually but still put together the way he always seemed to make happen effortlessly. She smiled at him, running her hands up his chest and past the buttons that were undone to reveal his scar.

"All the little girls are going to be swooning over you."

Alek: "Just what I aspired to in life."

He grinned and Persephone chuckled, giving him a kiss.

"Just wait until Lily's a teenager."

Persephone flicked her eyebrows up with a smirk, the thought incredibly amusing. Persephone was certain that all of Lily's friends would be frequenting their home instead of the other way around for the sole purpose of seeing Alek. But Alek's grin turned into a questionable look as he looked at her shirt.

Alek: "Aren't you...aren't you going to put a shirt on over that?"

Lifting a single brow, she gave him a defiant look, her lips curling into a knowing smile.

"We're late."

Was all Persephone said to lay that question to rest. She understood Alek was being protective, but she never had--nor ever would have--someone question what she wore or how she carried herself, not even her husband who's intentions were nothing but pure and good. Taking his hand, they headed down to the car and drove to Lily's school. There they both saw Lily playing with a group of children which made Persephone smile. She loved seeing Lily with kids her own age and having fun. Getting out of the car she called for Lily who immediately came running into her arms. It wasn't lost to her the six year old little boys gawking as she loaded Lily into the car. It was incredibly adorable, and Persephone couldn't help but have a little fun with them as Alek greeted Lily.

Alek: "They're six, Seph."

Persephone grinned.

"I'm giving them something to look forward to."

Leaning into Alek, she kissed his neck as he put the car in drive.

"No need to be jealous."

She joked against his skin with a little laugh before sliding her hand down his forearm into his palm, linking their fingers together. She asked Lily if she was ready to eat and she proclaimed that she was, even after eating both hers and her friends snack.

"Like father like daughter."

Alek: "Hey - we bears need sustenance. That's what lets us hibernate. Right, Lily?"

Lily: "Right Daddy!"

Alek: "Well, when we get to the restaurant, you can order anything you want, baby. You too, baby."

Alek freed his hand from hers to rub her stomach with a grin. Persephone broadly smiled while shaking her head.

"Gee, thanks."

She teased before they reconnected hands, Persephone keeping his across her lap.

Alek: "So, it looked like you were having fun playing there after school. Are the kids in your class nice?"

Lily: "Yeah! We like to all play together at recess. And all the boys like to chase us."

She said with a giggle. Persephone softly hissed in knowing Alek wasn't going to like that. So she turned her head to look out the window, hiding the amused grin that painted across her lips.

Lily: "But we're really fast and get away on top of the slide. It's fun!"

Persephone looked over at Alek, squeezing his hand knowing he was slowly dying inside at what Lily was saying.

"Sounds fun, sweetheart. But remember....if they ever try anything with you you don't like--"

Lily: "I'll punch them in the nose and make them cry."

"Exactly."

She would rather deal with the ramifications of the principle and teacher than have her daughter harassed. Lily was gorgeous and she would have boys chasing after her her whole life. Persephone wanted to teach her young that she controlled men and NOT the other way around.

They soon arrived in town, Alek parking and unloading Lily from the car. Holding Lily's one hand while Alek held the other, they all walked down the cobblestone path to the seaside restaurant her and Alek first discovered after getting married. Sitting in a private table out on the patio that overlooked the ocean, Lily sat in a booster seat to reach the table, happily eating some pita bread and hummus. Leaning into Alek, she rubbed his leg.

"That lingerie shop is down the street..."

She whispered with a smirk just as the rest of the food arrived. Surprisingly the smell wasn't making her nauseous so she decided to take a chance and have some minestrone soap. Picking up her spoon, she shifted her gaze over to Alek, her smile sly.

Lily: "Mama can I try?"

That snapped her out of her thoughts. Looking at Lily, Persephone smiled.

"Of course, baby."

Picking up a spoonful of soup, she blew on it to cool it off for Lily before holding it out to her to try. Lily smiled after eating it an indication that she liked it.

Lily: "That's really yummy."

"Here baby, you can share with mommy."

Persephone poured some of the soup into an empty bowl the waitress left for sharing. Sliding it to Lily, she happily picked up her own spoon.

"It's hot, make sure you blow on it."

Lily nodded, blowing into the bowl adorably and making Persephone smile. Looking back over at Alek, her smile remained.

"How's your lunch?"

 

[Berserker]

The Village

Seph was teasing him about making the little girls at Lily's school swoon.

"Just wait until Lily's a teenager."

He held up his hands.

"Oh no...I'm going to repress that image as long as possible."

The thought of his little girl as a teenager made his blood pressure skyrocket. Especially when he thought of the boys. Maybe they should continue to home school Lily after all...

He drove with Seph to the school, and the two of them watched Lily playing with some other children for a moment before Seph got out and called for her. Some of the little boys were noticing Seph, who was encouraging them with a wink.

"No need to be jealous."

He turned his head as he put the car in drive to give her a look.

"I'll let you off - this time."

The corner of his mouth turned up into a grin as he pulled back into the driveway. Seph's hand slid into his and he gave it a squeeze. He asked Lily about school, anxious to hear if she was making friends.

Lily: "Yeah! We like to all play together at recess. And all the boys like to chase us."

Alek's hand tightened on the steering wheel.

"Those little punks," he said under his breath.

Lily: "But we're really fast and get away on top of the slide. It's fun!"

He glanced over at Seph, who was looking much too happy for what they were hearing. These little balls of hormones, chasing his daughter? He could make them ALL disappear. His jaw clenched, but then Seph squeezed his hand and he unclenched it.

"Good. You run fast. Lightning fast."

"Sounds fun, sweetheart. But remember....if they ever try anything with you you don't like--"

Lily: "I'll punch them in the nose and make them cry."

THAT made him smile.

"Good girl. And it's not a bad idea to get a preemptive punch in now and then..."

They pulled into town and Alek parked on the street, getting out and going around to the other side of the car to open the door to the back seat. He unbuckled Lily she reached out her arms to him to pick her up. He smiled and pulled her out of the car and up into his arms.

"Hey, I didn't get my after school hug today."

Lily smiled brightly and put her arms around his neck and squeeze squeeze squeezed him tight.

"That was an excellent bear hug."

He gave her a peck on the cheek, then set her down on the sidewalk, taking her hand. Seph took her other hand, and Alek pressed the button to lock the car. They walked together down to the restaurant overlooking the ocean. Even though it was a nice restaurant, they believed in exposing Lily to something more than chicken fingers and french fries, and they had taught her how to behave in a setting like this. And of course, Lily behaved perfectly, happily eating pita and hummus.

"Look, Lily, dolphins."

He pointed out to where they could see fins emerge every so often from the water. As Lily was watching the water, he felt Seph's hand on his thigh.

"That lingerie shop is down the street..."

He raised and eyebrow at her, then whispered back to her.

"I'm sure Lily and I could get lost in the bookstore for a while..."

Their food came, and he was happy - and relieved - to see Seph eating something. He knew her nausea was bad, but she needed to eat, for both her and the baby. He was hoping the morning sickness was going to be a phase that stopped as quickly as it had started. Lily asked to try Seph's soup, and they shared. He smiled as he watch Seph instruct Lily on how to blow on it. Then she turned towards Alek, and his breath was taken away by her smile.

"How's your lunch?"

"Well, it's not as good as PB&J-"

He grinned.

"But lunch with my two best girls is always perfect, no matter what we eat."

He took another bite of his gyro.

"This is also really amazing."

Lily giggled.

Lily: "Don't talk with your mouth full Daddy!"

Alek laughed, his smile going to his eyes as he looked out at his family, here in this beautiful setting.

"So, where should we go first after lunch: the book store or the toy store?"

 

[Persephone]

As they were driving to lunch, Alek asked about Lily's new friends. She immediately began to talk about how her and her friends were getting chased by the little boys during recess.

Alek: "Those little punks."

Persephone pressed her lips into a hard line trying to hold her smile back. She couldn't help but find Alek's reaction adorable. And in that moment she definitely knew that he was going to teach Lucas how to kill anyone that tried anything with Lily.

"It's okay, Alek.."

She said softly, squeezing his hand with reassurance. Persephone didn't like the thought of their daughter around boys either, but at age six? It was just cute. Her mind would definitely change in a few years however. BUT, she wanted to teach Lily young, so she asked her what she were to do if they tried anything else other than chase her and she responded by telling them she would punch them in the nose until they cried. Persephone smiled and looked over, seeing Alek's broadly smiling as well.

Alek: "Good girl. And it's not a bad idea to get a preemptive punch in now and then..."

Lily: "Be ready! Never surprised!"

Softly laughing at Lily quoting something Alek had told her before, she nodded approvingly as they all continued to talk before reaching the town and parking the car. Heading into the restaurant, Lily immediately began to eat the complimentary pita and hummus that was given as Alek pointed out the dolphins surfacing in the ocean. Lily's eyes widened happily as she watched them. Persephone took this opportunity to lean in and whisper to Alek and remind him about the lingerie shop down the street.

Alek: "I'm sure Lily and I could get lost in the bookstore for a while..."

Persephone's eyes smiled as the corners of her lips turned upward. Gently rubbing his thigh, soon the food came and Lily immediately began to dig into her salmon. She asked to try some of Persephone's soup and loved it. Giving her half of her bowl of soup, Lily went between eating her salmon and slurping some of the broth. Smiling, she turned to Alek as she dipped her own spoon into her soup.

"How you're lunch?"

Alek: "Well, it's not as good as PB&J- But lunch with my two best girls is always perfect, no matter what we eat. This is also really amazing."

Persephone nodded happily at Alek enjoying his food.

"Good, i'm glad we were able to come out today."

She was really beginning to wonder when she was hovered over the toilet that morning if she would be able to leave the bathroom at all, but the day was turning out perfectly.

Lily: "Don't talk with your mouth full Daddy!"

Persephone grinned.

"Right. Manners daddy."

She teased looking over at him.

Lily: "Yep! We're in a fancy restaurant!"

Lily added with a big smile and an affirmative nod of her head. She may have been Alek's mini me, but she definitely had Persephone's sophistication and poise even at a young age.

Alek: "So, where should we go first after lunch: the book store or the toy store?"

Lily: "Toy store! Toy store! toy store!"

"I'm thinking toy store..."

Laughing, Lily smiled brightly.

Lily: "I wanna pick up a toy for Lucas! A little bear stuffed animal so we can match!"

Persephone just looked at her with such love in her eyes, taken aback by how she wanted to go to the toy store to shop for her brother and not for herself. Reaching across the table to rub Lily's arm, Persephone smiled at her.

"That's so sweet of you, baby. I think Lucas would really like that."

Lily smiled happily as she continued eating. Persephone picked up her soup filled spoon, now cooled to the perfect temperature, and moved it to her mouth, hesitating before finally taking a bite. She waited for that all too familiar feeling of bile rising in her throat, but surprisingly enough, she was able to chew the bits of vegetables and swallow without getting sick. Thank God. She thought, hoping that the worst of the sickness had finally passed. Or at least stayed strictly to the morning.

"When you and daddy are in the toy store, mommy needs to run to another store really quickly, okay?"

She glanced over at Alek with a small smirk.

Lily: "What store, mama?"

"Just a clothing store, baby. Nothing too interesting."

Lily nodded, accepting the answer. If it came between having to stand around in a clothing store verses more time in a toy store? Lily wasn't going to further ask anymore questions.

Soon they all finished lunch and headed out into the town. Separating from Alek and Lily, Persephone headed into the lingerie store and picked up a few pieces that would most definitely show off her pre-bump body for Alek to enjoy later in the evening. Then she met up with them to finish toy shopping before going into the bookstore. With bags in hand, Persephone and Alek walked down the cobblestone path, Lily skipping in front of them happily eating an ice cream cone. Leaning into Alek, Persephone's arm draped across her stomach.

"Soon we'll be pushing a stroller again. Can you believe it?"

Her eyes were trained on Lily, watching her.

"She's going to be an amazing big sister."

 

[Berserker]

Santorini - Town

Seph asked him how his food was, which was amazing, but he also told her how happy he was to be spending the afternoon with his girls.

"Good, I'm glad we were able to come out today."

He reached over and put his hand on top of hers for a moment, smiling. He was happy that Seph hadn't been forced to stay home, and he really wanted to be able to spend time together the three of them before the baby came. Lily - a little too joyously - reminded him not to talk with his mouth full.

"Right. Manners daddy."

"Oh, yes, you're right. Thank you Miss Lily for correcting me."

He smiled at her, laughing to himself at how she could be so like Persephone sometimes, so beyond her six years. But he knew he could bring the six year old out again by mentioning the toy store, and it worked. When faced with the choice of toy store or book store first, it was toy store all the way for Lily.

Lily: "I wanna pick up a toy for Lucas! A little bear stuffed animal so we can match!"

So not only would his daughter think bears were cute and cuddly, so would his son. But the fact that Lily wanted to get a toy for Lucas, without prompting, and seemed so excited about it made him hold his tongue. It was a battle he was destined to lose with two women in the house.

"That's so sweet of you, baby. I think Lucas would really like that."

He smiled proudly at Lily. What had they done to deserve her?

"But I think we should definitely find something for you as well, little flower. Perhaps..."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Some ice cream?"

They continued eating their lunch, and then his ears perked up as Seph told Lily she was going to go to another store while they were in the toy store. Lily asked what store, and Alek waited for another episode of "happy screaming". But Seph covered her tracks well, and he gave her a knowing look. When lunch was finished, he and Lily headed for the toy store while Seph split off to shop for "clothing". He watched as Lily stared intently at each teddy bear in the store, appraising their cuteness, color and softness. Finally she picked a little brown bear.

Lily: "This one is the bestest!"

"I think it's perfect."

He knelt down so he was on her eye level.

"You are going to make the best big sister ever. I'm so proud of you, Lily."

Lily beamed, sliding her hand into his. Seph found them in the store, holding a bag but not allowing Alek to peak into it at all. As they were walking to the front of the store to pay, Alek saw Lily's eyes light up as they passed a section on princess dress up costumes. Her eyes kept moving back to a princess tiara on display, with sparkling "jewels" all over it. He waited for Lily to ask to get it, but she didn't. She was still holding his hand but was positively squirming to look at it.

The clerk at the cash register asked if they wanted anything else, and he saw Lily's face fall, and he smiled.

"I think madam would like to try on that tiara over there."

Lily's eyes got big and sparkled as much as the fake tiara as the clerk went and retrieved it, then helped place it on Lily's head. She positively beamed, and so did Alek.

"We'll take it."

Lily: "Really?! Oh THANK YOU Daddy!"

She threw her arms around his waist and hugged him tight. He patted her shoulder before getting out his wallet. As the clerk wrapped the bear and put it in a shopping bag, Alek leaned down to Lily.

"Thank Mommy too - she's the one who made you a princess."

They then went to the bookstore, and Lily picked out several young readers books as well as a stack of baby books to add to the ones they already had. She was just as particular with the books as she had been with the bears. After all this shopping (and important decisions) it was very necessary for Lily to recharge with an ice cream, and she happily skipped down the path joyously eating one. Seph leaned in to him, and he draped his free hand over her shoulders.

"Soon we'll be pushing a stroller again. Can you believe it?"

"I really can't. I never thought this would happen again. It's unbelieveable."

He smiled.

"She's going to be an amazing big sister."

"She really is. How did we get so lucky? I'm pretty sure every other kid in the world is jealous of a new sibling. But she's SO excited, and so giving. She didn't even ask for a toy for herself."

He chuckled.

"She certainly doesn't take after me."

 

[Persephone]

They had enjoyed a delicious lunch, Persephone actually ingesting some food that didn't taste like cardboard, AND not feeling sick after eating it. She hoped this was just the beginning of a smoother pregnancy and no more morning sickness. Leaving the restaurant, they all headed down to the outdoor shopping area before Persephone headed off to the lingerie store while Alek took Lily into the toy store. Persephone picked out something she knew Alek would like, and fuck if she didn't feel sexy as all hell in it. The tiny bag had some tissue paper sticking out of it, which was for the best considering when she finally met up with Alek and Lily, Alek tried his hardest to sneak a peak at what she got to no avail.

They were all in line to pay for the adorable teddy bear that Lily had specially picked out for Lucas when she felt Alek nudge her arm and gesture silently to Lily. She was staring quietly at a bedazzled princess crown with wide, hopefully eyes. But as they reached the register, Lily remained quiet, not begging or throwing a tantrum for it like most children would have. Persephone looked at her with such an expression of awe mixed with pride. The clerk asked if that was all and Persephone gave Alek a look, a smile already on her lips knowing what he was going to do.

Alek: "I think madam would like to try on that tiara over there."

Lily immediately smiled, her blue eyes big and bright with excitement.

Lily: "Really?! Oh THANK YOU Daddy!"

Lily threw her arms around Alek's waist and hugged him tightly making Persephone's smile even bigger. God she loved her family...and moments like this? It made her the happiest she had ever been in her life.

Alek: "Thank Mommy too - she's the one who made you a princess."

He leaned down and not so subtly whispered to Lily. She gently rubbed Alek's back lovingly at his thoughtful words as Lily wrapped her arms around Persephone now, hugging her.

Lily: "Thank you, mama."

"You are so welcome, baby."

After paying, they all headed into the bookstore before finally walking down the cobblestone path of the city streets. Lily was skipping ahead eating her ice cream cone happily while Persephone leaned into Alek, walking slowly with him. His arm was draped around her shoulder and hers was wrapped around his waist. She told him how soon they would be pushing a stroller around with another baby. It was so hard to believe.

Alek: "I really can't. I never thought this would happen again. It's unbelieveable."

"I know...I never thought I would have one child, let alone two."

She smiled, watching Lily.

"She's going to be an amazing big sister."

Alek: "She really is. How did we get so lucky? I'm pretty sure every other kid in the world is jealous of a new sibling. But she's SO excited, and so giving. She didn't even ask for a toy for herself."

"I know...I don't know what we did...but we did it right. She's absolutely perfect."

Alek: "She certainly doesn't take after me."

He laughed and Persephone mirrored it.

"Well she doesn't take after me."

Giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Must be the mailman."

She joked with another laugh. It really was unreal how someone like her and Alek--former Red Knight and Rook--could raise a stable, well adjusted, sweet, kind, and loving little girl. She could only hope that Lucas would turn out just as amazing as his sister.

Turning down a small side street to get to one of the main shopping plaza's, Lily giggled as she turned around, walking backwards so she could see both Persephone and Alek.

Lily: "Do you think Lucas will have blue eyes like me and daddy?"

Persephone smiled.

"I hope so!"

Lily smiled big before turning around. Persephone was about to warn her to watch where she was going when Lily accidentally ran into a woman who was standing by the intersection of the main street and the side street, her ice cream cone hitting the lady's red designer dress. Lily gasped in, looking horrified and upset as the lady gasped in as well, turning and looking down with a agitated and snotty expression. She was the typical rich bitch French woman who thought everyone outside of her country were beneath her.

Lily: "I'm-I'm sorry!"

Woman: "Vous plaisantez j'espère?! Snot au nez morveux!" (Are you kidding me?! Snot nosed little brat!)

The woman exclaimed in French, Lily standing frozen with wide teary eyes.

"Excuse me?"

Persephone hissed, taking a step forward toward Lily.

Lily: "It was an accident...I didn't--"

Woman: "UGH! Get AWAY from me!"

Her accent was thick but easily understandable. She picked up her bags and pushed past Lily heatedly, making her stumble to the side. Lily's face was filled with shock and sadness. Persephone's was NOT. This BITCH yelled at her daughter AND pushed her. She was fucking DEAD. The woman began to storm past Persephone to head down the side street they had just walked down. Grabbing the woman's thin arm, Persephone slammed her into the stone wall and held her throat with her hand. The woman's eyes looked horrified as she gasped for air, Persephone squeezing her wind pipe shut.

"Don't you EVER touch my child or speak to her like she's BENEATH YOU, do you understand me tu as droit à une chienne" (you entitled bitch!)"

Persephone growled, her eyes black with rage. At this point Lily ran to Alek, watching with half her face hiding behind his leg. The woman tried to speak as the winds began to pick up, howling down the street and sweeping around them.

Woman: "I'm-I'm....so--rry..."

Persephone wanted to rip this bitch apart and stuff her in her little designer shopping bags. But she knew Lily was watching, and even now she didn't want to take it TOO far. So she kept it PG....or as PG as she could, and decided to threaten the cunt in a way Lily wouldn't understand.

"Si jamais je te revois, je t'arracherai les intestins de ta bouche et je t'arracherai à eux." (If I ever see you again I will tear your intestines out of your mouth and HANG you by them.)

A massive crash of thunder emphasized Persephone's point, the woman's eyes wide with terror. The smallest smile could be seen tugging on Lily's lips as she realized that this woman had fucked with the wrong mommy. Letting go of the lady's throat, she gasped in and collapsed to her knees, scrambling to pick up her bags and running down the side street until disappearing around the corner.

The winds immediately subsided and Persephone turned around to see Lily now in Alek's arms. Gently running her hand down Lily's cheek, Persephone looked at her with concern.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?"

Lily nodded gently.

"She didn't hurt you?"

Lily shook her head no. Good, otherwise Persephone would have had Alek track the bitch down and make good on her promise.

"Okay, good....i'm sorry if mommy scared you, baby."

Lily: "You didn't mama.....it was really cool."

Persephone smiled, though she probably should have corrected Lily in saying it wasn't and they shouldn't hurt people. Looking at Alek, she slid his arm around his waist as she gave Lily a kiss on the cheek.

"I learned all my coolness from your father. He's the king of cool."

Lily giggled.

Lily: "And i'm the princess of cool!"

Persephone laughed.

"You even have a tiara as proof!"

 

[Berserker]

Santorini - Town

Alek was walking down the path with his arm around Seph, the two of them talking and laughing together, when Lily turned around.

Lily: "Do you think Lucas will have blue eyes like me and daddy?"

Persephone told her than she hoped so, which made her smile.

"I think he'll look a lot like you."

Then he leaned his head down to whisper in Seph's ear.

"But it would be cool if this one had your eyes."

He kissed her cheek, just as Lily turned and ran smack into a lady standing in the intersection, getting her ice cream cone on her dress. Lily looked apologetic and told the woman she was sorry, and Alek was pulling out his wallet to pay for the woman's dress to be dry cleaned when the woman got aggressive with his child. He didn't know what she was saying, but the tone was clear and Lily was starting to cry. Seph understood, however.

Lily: "It was an accident...I didn't--"

Woman: "UGH! Get AWAY from me!"

And then the woman pushed his daughter. An audible growl came from his throat as he stepped forward, but Seph already had the woman by the arm. And then the throat. He looked at Lily, motioning for her to come to him, but she was already running towards him. He put his arm around her as she clung to his leg.

"It's alright, little flower. Mommy just needs to explain something to the lady."

He reached down and picked her up, holding her in his arms.

"Are you hurt?"

She shook her head no and he hugged her to his chest. He wanted to rip the woman's arms off, but Seph had it covered.

"You didn't do anything wrong, sweetheart. It was just an accident."

He watched, impressed, as they felt Seph's power kick up the winds around them. His wife was such a badass. She was speaking French to the woman now, but what she was saying was clearly a threat. He wished he knew what she'd said, because he would have bet that it was awesome. When Seph released her, she ran away as fast as she could. Seph turned to them, and checked to make sure Lily was okay. Lily nodded that she was.

"Okay, good....I'm sorry if mommy scared you, baby."

Lily: "You didn't mama.....it was really cool."

"Really cool. Mama bear."

He agreed with a smile as Seph's arm came around his waist.

"I learned all my coolness from your father. He's the king of cool."

Lily: "And I'm the princess of cool!"

He and Seph laughed.

"You absolutely are!"

He turned his head to Seph, lowering his voice and motioning with his head the direction the woman had run to.

"You want me to-?"

Seph declined, knowing exactly what he was asking her. The big smile returned to his face as he looked back at Lily. The poor girl had lost her ice cream cone in the scuffle.

"So, I know a little stand up ahead that sells the best baklava...I think the princess and the queen should have some of that, don't you?"

Lily just grinned, and he didn't put her down as they walked on.

 

[Persephone]

After threatening ands scaring the French woman shitless, Persephone went up to Lily to make sure she was okay. She was so wrapped up in her anger that she hoped she hadn't scared her little girl as well, but Lily smiled, saying it was cool. Persephone played it off telling her she got all her 'coolness' from Alek, making Lily the princess of cool which Lily loved. Smiling, she leaned into Alek as he kissed her cheek.

Alek: "You want me to-?"

He whispered while gesturing in the direction the woman fled. She really wanted him to, but shook her head no with an appreciative smile. She'd rather spend the day with her daughter and husband than ripping that bitch's limbs off. BUT, if they ever did see her again, game on.

"Next time."

She whispered back giving his lips a light kiss. She really wished killing people with Alek. It was such a rush, and damn were they good at doing it together. Alek then turned to Lily, her little face immediately lighting up.

Alek: "So, I know a little stand up ahead that sells the best baklava...I think the princess and the queen should have some of that, don't you?"

Lily nodded happily, grinning from ear to ear. They all began to walk to the baklava stand, Alek still carrying Lily as they went. Persephone didn't want to chance her morning sickness returning so she let Lily get an extra big piece and took a small bite of it instead of getting a piece of her own. They all continued to rest of the afternoon into the evening shopping in town before deciding to stop at a small pizza shop for dinner. Lily was extra excited about this considering pizza wasn't something they typically had.

Lily: "I want cheese pizza! With extra cheese!"

Persephone chuckled.

"Extra cheesy pizza coming up."

Lily: "Can I have a soda please, mama?"

She looked up at Persephone with hopeful eyes. Lily already had ice cream and baklava, so normally Persephone would have said no. But considering the little altercation earlier, she gave her a small smile.

"Alright. Go pick one out from the refrigerator."

Lily smiled brightly and ran off to the refrigerator that held all the different glass bottled soda's the pizza shop offered. After ordering their food, they all sat outside at a little cafe style table and began to eat. Lily's mouth was filled with cheese and sauce, Persephone shaking her head gently with a light laugh before turning to Alek. He was holding up one of three slices of pizza he ordered, prepared to take a bite. This particular slice was mushroom, and Persephone grinned deciding to steal a bite. Lily giggled.

Lily: "Uh oh...never steal food from a bear, mama."

Persephone chewed the piece with a smile, taunting Alek playfully.

"'And what is the big, bad, bear going to do?"

She teased to which Lily laughed, watching with big eyes to see what Alek would do.

 

[Berserker]

Santorini - Town

Since they had had such a formal lunch, they decided to just get pizza for dinner. He had to admit, he missed getting pizza all the time in New York. Mama Bear was feeling lenient, allowing Lily to get a soda, which she normally watched like a hawk. He was laughing at Lily's pizza filled mouth and saucy cheeks, when Seph leaned over and took a bite of his slice of pizza.

"Hey!"

He pretended to be upset, while Lily giggled.

Lily: "Uh oh...never steal food from a bear, mama."

"That's right - a very bad idea."

Seph teased him playfully, to Lily's delight.

"And what is the big, bad, bear going to do?"

"Well."

He set down his slice of pizza and wiped his hands on his napkin.

"First, I'd stalk the thief."

He got up out of his chair and hunched over like he was being secretive, moving stealthily behind Seph's chair.

"And when I had her in my sights..."

He peeked over her left shoulder, then her right, making a face so Lily could see.

"I'd rear up and bite her neck! Ahhhh!"

He pretended to bite Seph in the neck, scratching her with his beard. He stood up laughing along with Lily, then returned to his chair.

Lily: "Daddy, you're funny!"

He looked at Seph out of the corner of his eye.

"Don't make me have to do that again."

He gave her a stern look, then smiled and held the piece of pizza out to her so she could have another bite.

"So, Princess of Cool, what do you say to a walk on the beach when we get home?"

 

[Persephone]

Persephone stole a bite of Alek's pizza, smiling as she chewed it teasingly. Lily playfully warned her never to steal food from a bear, so Persephone decided to poke said bear.

Alek: "Well. First, I'd stalk the thief."

Swallowing her bite, she licked her lips and smirked as Alek wiped his hands and got up from the table. He went behind Persephone causing her to smile at the sight of Lily's face watching. She looked so amused and entertained as Alek peeked around Persephone's left shoulder, then her right.

Alek: "And when I had her in my sights..."

Persephone turned her head to catch a glimpse at Alek 'stealthily' hiding behind her shoulders, laughing as he did so.

Alek: "I'd rear up and bite her neck! Ahhhh!"

He then attacked her neck with pretend bites, Persephone letting out a shriek like laugh, scrunching her shoulders up to try and protect her neck from his tickling beard. Lily began to crack up laughing.

Lily: "Daddy, you're funny!"

She said between laughs as Persephone hit Alek with her napkin while he sat back down. He gave her a 'stern' look out the corner of his eyes and Persephone couldn't help but smile.

Alek: "Don't make me have to do that again."

"I apologize Mr. Bear."

Alek held out his slice of pizza for Persephone to take another bite and she grinned, not denying his offering. Running her hand lovingly along his knee, Alek asked Lily if she wanted to take a walk along the beach after they got home. Lily nodded as she chewed.

Lily: "Yes, please!"

Persephone wiped her mouth with he napkin.

"Do you have any homework?"

Lily scrunched her nose a bit before nodding.

Lily: "Spelling."

"Lets head home after this then. We can do your homework before we take our walk. Sound good?"

Lily smiled while nodding.

"Okay, finish up, sweetheart."

Lily continued to eat her pizza and Alek finished all three of his slices. They soon headed back home and unloaded all the bags from the car and brought them upstairs. Lily got her school work an brought it down to the dining room table for Persephone to help with. It was only about ten words, so it didn't take very long at all. Soon enough, they were all walking along their property on the beach as the sun was setting in the sky. Lily was running along the surf, kicking her feet through the water and splashing it into the air. Persephone wrapped her arms around Alek and stopped walking, looking up at him with a smile.

"Today was fun."

It had been a pretty perfect day, and she was so happy she was getting to enjoy the time she had left with just Alek and Lily before the new baby arrived. As excited as she was about Lucas, she would miss these moments between the three of them. Standing on her toes, Persephone kissed Alek softly, her hands moving up through his long hair.

"When we get back....you get Lily ready for bed while I get ready for you."

She grinned against his lips before stealing another kiss.

 

[Berserker]

Santorini

Alek play acted out what a bear would do to someone who stole its food, making Lily roar with laughter, and getting a few chuckles out of Seph as well. When he had sat down again, she apologized (and rightly so).

"I apologize Mr. Bear."

"You are forgiven, Mrs. Bear."

He held out his pizza to Seph for another bite, and then he took one himself, smiling at her. He suggested a walk on the beach when they got back to the house, and he truly forgot about school until Seph reminded Lily about her homework. Six year old homework wasn't too terrible, but still, he had to resist the urge to groan. Seph promised to help get the homework done and then they could take their walk. They finished their dinner and Alek drove home, bringing in the shopping as Lily got her homework and Seph set up at the dining room table to help.

FINALLY homework was done and the three of them walked down to the beach and along the surf. While Lily played, Seph stopped and wrapped her arms around him. He instinctively slid his arms around her waist.

"Today was fun."

"So much fun."

He grinned at her, leaning down to touch his forehead to hers.

"I especially liked the part where you threatened that woman in three languages."

Seph leaned up and kissed him softly, her hands in his hair.

"When we get back....you get Lily ready for bed while I get ready for you."

He smiled like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Whatever you say, Mrs. Bear."

Seph pressed her lips against his again, and he could hear Lily making gagging noises behind her.

Lily: "Ew, gross, kissing!"

Alek looked around Seph at Lily and pointed at her.

"That's exactly right. Kissing boys is gross."

He ran forward and leaned over when he got to her to tickle her and cover her cheek with kisses.

"Daddy is the only boy allowed to kiss you."

He picked her up and ran towards the surf, pretending to throw her in the water while she laughed and screamed in delight. Soon it was time to head back, and when they reached the house he scooted Lily up the stairs to get ready for bed. When she was n her pjs and all tucked in, he asked her if she wanted to read one of the new books they'd bought. She nodded, and he could tell she was already getting sleepy.

Lily: "You read it Daddy."

Lily had picked a book about baby animals and their parents. When they got to the page about brown bears, there was a picture of a daddy bear and two tiny bear cubs.

Lily: "That's why I picked this book. It's you and me and Lucas! I wish there was a mommy bear though."

"Maybe tomorrow after school you can draw one?"

Lily: "Okay....but tomorrow...."

He could see her eyelids getting heavy, and he set the book down on her night stand, adjusted her comforter over her, and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight little cub."

Lily: "Goodnight Daddy..."

He was pretty sure she was snoring before he left the room, carefully closing the door behind him. And now it was time to see what Seph had bought that afternoon...

 

[Persephone]

Walking along the beach at sunset was probably one of Persephone's favorite things to do with Alek and Lily. Leaning into Alek as they walked, Lily was playing in the surf happily, kicking water and picking up seashells. Slowing to a stop, Persephone wrapped her arms around Alek's neck before giving him a kiss.

"Today was fun."

Alek: "So much fun. I especially liked the part where you threatened that woman in three languages."

Persephone grinned, chuckling as she ran her hands up the back of Alek's head and through his hair.

"Two, but who's counting?"

Persephone teased with a smile.

Alek: "When we get back....you get Lily ready for bed while I get ready for you."

Kissing him, she grinned against his lips.

Alek: "Whatever you say, Mrs. Bear."

Her grin widened before deepening the kiss, her body pressing against his and arms tightening around his neck. But the moment was halted by the sound of little gags from little girls who found kissing gross. Lily exclaimed that very notion making them both break their kiss and Persephone to look over her shoulder with an amused smile.

Alek: "That's exactly right. Kissing boys is gross."

"Very gross."

She reiterated Alek's sentiments. Persephone found the little boys chasing Lily adorable, however any kissing involved? No, no, no, no. Definitely not something she wanted to think about her little girl doing.

Alek: "Daddy is the only boy allowed to kiss you."

Alek moved past Persephone and swiftly picked up Lily, running toward the surf as if he were going to throw her into the water. She began to scream and laugh as Alek played with her. Persephone laughed while folding her arms across her chest watching them happily play. But soon it was time for them all to head in and for Lily to go to bed. Kissing Lily goodnight before Alek took her into her bedroom to tuck her in, Persephone disappeared into the master suite to slip on what she bought at the lingerie store.

Sitting in one of the decorative arm chairs by the fireplace, all the lights were off in the master suite and only the fire and a few candles illuminated the room. Wearing a black silk robe that was tied shut, Persephone sat with her legs crossed at the knee staring into the flames. It was when Alek opened the bedroom door that she finally looked away from the fire and met his gaze. Her lips curled into a smirk and her eyes smiled as he shut the door behind him. Standing from the armchair, Persephone picked up crystal rocks glass with a three fingers of scotch in it and began to walk over to Alek; her black pumps clicking against the hardwood floor.

"I got you a drink."

Persephone wished she could drink, but being pregnant prevented that from happening. However she was selfish in her motives, handing Alek the glass and watching him finish the liquor in one gulp. Taking the glass from his hand, Persephone's eyes were trained on his lips, licking her own before pressing them against his. Her tongue slowly met with his and she could taste the scotch on his mouth, the burn so familiar and delicious. Deepening the kiss, she was devouring what was left hungrily, moaning an Mmmm at the taste--the tease of the alcohol almost as good as the real thing. Finally, she broke the kiss, her teeth gently tugging on his lip.

"So good..."

She purred as she pulled away with a smirk, walking over to the mini bar. Putting the glass on the marble top, Persephone opened the decanter of scotch and poured him another glass. Looking over her shoulder, she placed the decanter back down on the bar top and re corked it.

"I thought i'd bring back a little taste of the Red Rook..."

Pulling the tie of her robe, Persephone turned around revealing the red lingerie and black thigh highs she purchased that day. Letting the robe slip off her shoulders and pool onto the floor, Persephone picked up the glass of scotch and slowly sauntered over to Alek, her midnight eyes never leaving his.

"What do you say, Knight?"

Holding the glass of scotch up for him to take.

"Care for a taste?"

 

[Berserker]

The Bedroom

Coming into the Master from the hallway was like walking into another world. The lights were off, fire and candlelight casting a soft glow on Seph, who was sitting in a chair near the fire. Her eyes met his, and what he saw there lit another fire deep within him. The fire gave Seph's eyes a wicked gleam, and he knew she was up to something. He shut the door behind him.

She stood up, wearing a silky black robe that hugged her curves and made his mouth water. He noticed she was wearing stockings as she sauntered sexily towards him, and he was already envisioning tearing them off.

"I got you a drink."

She held out a rocks glass of scotch, which he took, his fingers grazing hers as he did so. His eyes stayed with hers, and he knew they weren't here for drinks and leisurely conversation. So he threw back the scotch, feeling the liquor burn and warm on the way down. She took his glass, then moved towards him and kissed him, her tongue tasting his sensually. He felt himself respond to that kiss, to the tease of her body against him, to the noises of satisfaction she was making.

She moved away, going to the bar and refilling his glass. What was she up to? She looked back over her shoulder at him.

"I thought I'd bring back a little taste of the Red Rook..."

She dropped her robe, and his eyes went wide before lust washed over them. It was red, and didn't cover much. The stockings went only to her thighs, and were attached to thin straps around her waist, accompanied by a tiny thong and satiny bra, with straps and cords accenting it. If it were black he would have thought he was in for a whipping.

Seph came towards him again with the scotch.

"What do you say, Knight?"

He couldn't say anything right then. All he could do was take her in, his cock already throbbing for her.

"Care for a taste?"

She was holding the glass out to him, but he was looking at her - like he wanted to maul her. He didn't know what to do first, so spoiled for choice was he. He pulled his shirt over his head, not messing with the remaining buttons and balled it up and threw it onto the floor. He made a quick movement forward so that their bodies were centimeters apart. He took the scotch from her hand and drank it down, then lowered his hand, letting the glass also drop to the floor.

He grabbed her hand, and brought it to his bare chest, guiding her fingers over his scar, the way she had touched it that first night. They were so far removed here from the Red Knight and Red Rook, but in that moment they were them again. He slid her hand down his chest and over in his stomach, to his waistband and under it.

"My cock is already hard, Rook."

He move his head over her shoulder, his mouth going to her ear, nuzzling and biting the lobe as she touched him, his hands on her hips.

"Take my pants off," he whispered.

When he was freed, he went to his knees in front of her, and his hands went to her stocking covered legs, running them up and down over the fabric. His eyes looked up at her as one hand went between her thighs, moving the thin fabric of her thong aside and stroking her.

"You're so slippery..."

He rose, his mouth kissing and licking her skin between the straps of red fabric, then up her flat stomach, hands sliding up her back and then around to tug at the fabric of her bra, pulling it off her nipples so his mouth had access. His tongue ran over her hard nipples, his mouth took the mounds of flesh into it. Finally he rose to his full height, hands now squeezing her breasts, and whispered gutturally against her mouth.

"Your tits are amazing..."

He took her mouth then, hard, like a prize taken, owned. He reached down and lifted her against him, and carried her back towards the fire. He knelt with her, laying her down on the rug in front of the fireplace, his mouth never leaving hers. He pressed his hard need against her as they kissed, his hands first in her hair, then groping her body. He broke the kiss, breathing rapidly.

"Tell me what you want, Rook."

 

[Persephone]

Persephone's eyes were locked on Alek's, holding out the glass of scotch as she asked him if he wanted a taste. Licking her lips as he pulled off his shirt, her eyes followed it as he crumpled it and tossed it to the side before flicking back to his. He took the drink, downing it in one gulp before dropping the glass onto the ground and grabbing her hand. He slid her fingers across his scar, so similar to the first night they ever met. Persephone's breathing began to pick up, his hand guiding hers down his stomach and to the waist band of his boxers. Watching with hooded eyes, he slipped her hand into his shorts, Persephone's eyes lifting as he guided it to his cock.

Alek: "My cock is already hard, Rook."

Persephone grasped him, sliding down his shaft to his tip then back down to the base. Alek moved to her ear gently nibbling her lobe. His hot breath against her skin was driving her mad and she expelled a slow breath.

"I can see that, Knight."

Alek: "Take my pants off."

Persephone's mouth connected with Alek's shoulder, kissing his skin as she hooked her fingers on the waist band of his boxers and pushed them down over his hips freeing him. She wanted to touch him again, to feel his thickness between her hand, but Alek dropped to his knees in front of her, his hands immediately sliding up her stocking covered legs. Her eyes lowered to watch him, her hands combing back through his hair. His fingers slid beyond her stockings and between her legs, her stomach tensing and breath hitching in her throat as he moved the fabric of her thong aside and slid the tips across her sex. Biting her lip, Persephone's eyes fell shut at the feel of him, her body burning for his touch. Dripping with need.

Alek: "You're so slippery..."

"You make me so wet..."

She moaned to him, feeling his tongue lick up her stomach and taste the skin between her caged satin lingerie. Rolling her eyes shut at the feel of his mouth on her, Persephone kept her hands behind his head, gripping his long hair as he pulled the fabric of her bra away from her breasts, freeing them to only take possession of them with his mouth. His tongue slid across the sensitive skin, her nipples rock hard from his touch. Persephone breath was audible as she panted through his assault on her breasts until he parted ways from them, his hands replacing his mouth. Persephone's hands slid down his back as his mouth took hers with a passionate need, her tongue meeting with his in a fury, the build up and foreplay making it nearly impossible for her to think straight. She felt Alek's arms wrap around her now, lifting her against him like she weighed nothing. Moaning against his mouth at the feel of his body pressed against hers, her arms circled securely to his neck as he carried them to the bear skin rug that was placed in front of the fireplace.

Alek lowered them both onto the rug, his body hovering over his as their mouths never parted ways. His hands were in her hair while Persephone's slid down his muscular back. She felt his dick hard against her thigh and it was enough to nearly make her come right there. Finally, Alek broke the kiss, Persephone breathing as rapidly as he was. Looking up at him, the light from the fire made him look like a God. He was gorgeous, rugged, and so damn sexy. His blue eyes piercing from the light as they gazed with such lust down into her own.

Alek: "Tell me what you want, Rook."

Persephone's hands left Alek, clawing at her thighs and ripping the garters from her stockings.

"I need you inside me."

Her voice low and primal; so full of need and desire. Her mouth connected with his again, needing to taste him.

Persephone then moved her hands to Alek's ass, pulling him down between her as she lifted her hips, feeling his dick pressed against the soaked satin fabric of her thong. Rolling her sex against his shaft, she breathlessly moaned between their kiss at the feeling of him stroking her even through the fabric; the electricity of his touch coursing through his body.

"God I need you now.."

She groaned against his lips as her hands slid to her hips and pulled at the thin band of her panties. There were two small clips on either side of her hips there to undo the panties, similar to a bra clip. It was a nice added touch so people didn't have to fumble with pulling the fabric off, and it worked perfectly in this case. The thong undid cleanly, freeing Persephone of the confines of her satin prison. Running her hand back up to his ass, she arched her back into him, breaking the kiss and looking into his eyes as he slowly slid inside her.

"Yes..."

She moaned, her hand pulling at the base of his back wanting him as deep as possible. Persephone's head fell back against the rug at the feel of him filling her, her hips rolling to meet with his as low moans could be heard coming deep within her.

 

[Berserker]

The Bedroom

He remembered what it was before they were a family. Before they made love. When they fucked mercilessly. When they took turns commanding each other. When he was cold and merciless, and the pull of her unavoidable. And if she wanted that tonight, by god he was going to give it to her. He was already hard when her hand touched his throbbing cock, and she already wet as he needed her to be. He touched her, teased her, stroked her. His fingers, his mouth, he touched and tasted her every way he could.

He set her down on the rug in front of the fireplace, and made her tell him what she wanted, lust apparent in his eyes as he hovered over her.

"I need you inside me."

Her fingers ripped the clips from her stockings, and he grinned, full of desire. Her mouth attacked his, the two of them exploring each other, deep, passionate, needy. Her hands moved to his ass, pulling him against her. He could feel her, separated from him only by the thin fabric of her thong. She rubbed herself against his cock.

"God I need you now.."

She removed her panties in a motion that amazed him, and for a second he wondered while all of her panties didn't operate in this way. But it only a fleeting though, because she was open and ready for him now. He inserted his tip into her, then his hands moved to her thighs as he slid deep into her, her eyes on him. He grunted as his hips collided with hers, and his hand moved to the small of her back, pulling her against him.

She was moaning, he hovering over her, moving between her thighs at a steady pace. Then he began to thrust hard into her, punctuating each with a grunt, pausing in between he one. He wanted her to come, because he planned on making her come multiple times before he did. His mouth went to her breasts again, and his motions became shallower but faster, until finally he felt her orgasm under him.

He wasted no time, flipping her over and pulling her ass towards him, sliding into her again, and leaning over her so his chest pressed against her back, his hands onto the floor next to hers. He knew that at his angle he would stroke her pleasure center with each movement, and he pushed himself hard and deep into her, over and over again, faster and faster. Finally he came up on his knees, and he pulled her up with him, one arm holding her against him, the other sliding down between her legs to stroke her sex. Her pearl was hard and throbbing as he pleasured her from both sides.

When she had come again, he released her, letting her go back down onto her hands. He pulled out of her, and moved his dick into her ass, sliding his slick cock into her slowly but having her take him all. He went down on all fours again, and his mouth kissed her shoulder, the back of her neck, as he fucked her ass. One hand grabbed her breast as he whispered into her ear.

"I want to come in your ass."
