I lay there, his arms still wound around me, his legs intertwined with mine. My heart had slowed down somewhat and he had fallen still behind me, all I could hear was his light breathing. Did devils sleep? I wondered. Against my side I felt the baby kick and I passed a hand almost unconsciously to soothe the little life inside me with a small caress. I shivered a little bit and snuggled closer to him, we were still on the floor, his back to my front, spooned up under a blanket that he had just summoned into life to flare around us. Even the floor didn't feel so hard beneath me and I was pretty sure that that was his handiwork as well.
I sighed and rolled away from him, sweeping my robe off the floor where it had been dropped next to us, I pulled it over my naked body and stood for a second glancing down at his sleeping form.
He was so beautiful, and he looked so sweet and innocent as he lay there on my floor. I sighed and ran a shaky hand through my hair before turning from him and heading for my kitchen to make something to eat. Ever since getting pregnant I'd been eating like a pig, couldn't seem to keep my hands off of food, but yet, I hadn't gained an ounce, the only difference you could see was my belly and my breasts.
I made myself some coffee and a bagel, given that this wasn't a normal pregnancy and my baby wasn't a normal baby I didn't think that the caffeine would do any harm. Slipping onto a stool I took a sip from the hot mug and then twisted my hair into some kind of bun at my nape before leaning my elbows on the counter and staring off into space. I sighed.
This was not what had been supposed to happen. He had left me in this situation and it had been time for him to hear a peace of my mind. But what did I do? I threw myself at him and had crazy sex with him on the floor... and in the middle of a very heavy and unusual pregnancy. Really, there was something seriously wrong with me.
Without any warning I felt something soft and warm brush against the back of my neck. It felt so nice and familiar. He felt so nice and familiar. But he wasn't nice...and as for familiar...
"I can hear the wheels in your head turning...don't you ever just...relax?" He murmured against my neck. I felt his arms snake around my swollen waist to wrap around me just below my breasts.
"With you around?" I asked, lifting a quizzing eyebrow even though he couldn't see my face.
His teeth grazed the side of my neck, going up to nip my lobe as his hands slid a little bit higher and cupped my sensitive breasts through the robe. The tips stiffened instantly and I sighed again, allowing myself to lean back against him. "But I'm starting to think that you like having me around sweet."
I turned in my stool and my eyes met his golden ones. My expression was grave. "Be honest with me Lucien." His eyes closed as if he was savouring the sound of his name on my lips. "What is the purpose of this?"
At that question he opened his eyes again and after holding my gaze for a few seconds he released me and stepped back, going around the counter to sit in a stool opposite me. He'd pulled his robe back on too... only his wasn't belted and I could see absolutely everything, including the part which was standing hard and away from his body. My lips went dry and I forced myself to look up at his face, only to see a knowing smirk pasted on it.
"Why does there have to be a purpose?" he asked as he settled on he stool and then picked up one of my hands to toy with.
"Come on, you didn't just harass me for months on end to get me pregnant for no reason Lucien. What's this all about?"
He shrugged, dropping my hand and looking around my kitchen with a bored look on his beautiful face. I shook my head and raised my mug to my lips, needing a fortifying sip of caffeine in order to go on dealing with this man... creature that sat before me. Then my hands froze with the mug halfway to my lips when he turned his eyes to me once again. They were terrifying in their intensity. "I wanted you." he cocked his head slightly as he watched my eyes flare at his words. "I still want you..." his eyes dropped down to my belly, lingering there with an almost awed expression. "And you have my child inside you."
"But I didn't before, you could have just picked another woman to have your -"
