Trying my hardest not to stagger from my morning events,I make my way to my office door to see Barley await my arrival. "Mr. Greenwood, to what do I owe this visit?" I ask him and he frowns at my formality.

"I hate when you don't call me Barley, I almost gave you my last name. You could be Mrs. Greenwood!" He teases and I tsk unlocking the door to let us in. "I wanted to come here because I—" His face wrinkles for a moment, "new perfume?" He sniffs the air and looks to me with a curious face.

"I think so, I don't pay attention to which bottle I grab." I shrug off his comment, there's no way Barley smells sex on me, we were in the shower. "You were saying?" I pry.

"Yes, well I came here because I wanted to ask for your help with some development plans. The Greenwood Estates wishes to expand its profits and lands." He giggles like a little boy, "I get to build my own home apart from my family and start a business. I could only think of you to help me build it." I can't help but smile at his excitement and nod. "Oh perfect! Now that I have your approval I'll come back with more of my plans, I have a whole journal on my hopes for how it will look!" Barley Greenwood runs off, looking younger than I ever have seen him. I shake my head and turn to my desk trying to focus on some paperwork that was left to me.

It took me a few hours to get through just three cases before I hear the door open to see Aurelio walk in. I can't contain my smile as he walks towards me with a bag in one hand. "I told you I'd be here for lunch." He leans over the desk to give me a kiss, tilting my head up with his spare hand by my chin and the place where he bit me aches at the memory of his touch. Electricity shoots from the location to our lips and once it reaches there, I swear I hear Aurelio let out a quiet moan. "It was very difficult to let you go this morning, but I hope my choice in lunch makes up for our distance." When he lets go of me my lips seem lifeless somehow but he distracts the thought by placing food before me. "I made you a steak salad, my own recipe, even headed home to grill the steak." He looks proud as he gestures with his hands for me to open it. When I do the presentation is incredible, a large steak grilled medium rare atop lettuce with a green goddess looking dressing. I spot plenty of vegetables thinly sliced and added in as well as ample amounts of croutons. "The hope was that it would be enough for you, or both of us if you wanted me to stay. But I don't have to, I just wanted to make sure you ate after how much I made you work out this morning." His cheeky grin causes my eyes to roll and he frowns grabbing my chin and pulling me toward him so he can whisper to my ear, "I can make your eyes roll for a different reason if you do that again." Releasing his hold and letting me sit back into my seat flushed and feeling a warmth rush to my pelvis.

"Aurelio!" I shout with embarrassment and he chuckles.

"You may be the boss here, but you will always be mine Marianna." He growls and we hear a book drop by the door, causing us to turn and see Barley in shock at seeing Aurelio and I. He shakes his head no and anger begins to rise, I've never seen him this heated. A hand raises as if to hit Aurelio before a tear falls and he runs out of the room. "It seems I've created heartbreak with his crush." Aurelio looks to see my reaction, but I don't know what he reads on my face to make him kiss my cheek and say, "allow me to give you some time. Eat lunch, gain energy."

Barley and Aurelio don't show up for the rest of my work day, I picked up Barley's journal and put it in my locked drawer but not before stroking the front leather and feeling a sense of sadness wash over me for him. The longer I run my fingers on the leather, the longer it makes me feel like I'm holding him while tears fall down my cheeks unintentionally. Poor Barley, I never intended to break his heart.

I leave my office much later, trying to clear up the tears that fell and locking up behind me to see Barley running frantically towards me as I head towards the garage. "Barley!"

"Marianna," he braces his hands to his knees to catch his breathing before continuing, "I'm sorry to have left you like that, it wasn't right." Barley reaches to hold my hand between us with both of his. "Nothing should deter me from pursuing you, not even him. It's okay if you want to date others, but I will not give up on what I know we have between us."

"And what is that, Barley?" I ask, confused by his wording.

"An unbreakable bond." He says as though it was that simple. "And I've felt it since we were young and first met."

"I understand that, we do have a bond. But it doesn't have to be romantic like that Barley, it can be familial or something else but I don't think I can just date multiple people." A deep sigh escapes my mouth, "Aurelio is someone I'm interested in, you have pursued me for years but I've been away. I know it isn't fair, but it just happened that way. I met him at the airport before even flying home, he was on the same flight as me in the same aisle and we had an encounter that neither of us had control over."

"I know, but I don't care if you wish to let him pursue you, just please let me finally pursue to too. I've wanted you for years but you always told me to wait, I even called off the engagement our family arranged on your behalf because I have faith in our eventual unionship." Barley pleads to me outside the office, his grasp on my hand pulling me into him further. "I promise I won't let you down, I've only ever wanted to give you my name and please you."

I open my mouth to respond and Barley takes his chance to kiss me deeply, an arm wrapping around my waist to pull me in to his chest. The kiss was charmingly affectionate, not rough at all in comparison to Aurelio. Oh no, Aurelio! I try to push into Barley to separate us but he doesn't allow it as he finishes his soft kiss properly. My heart pounds and I become confused by my own body, what about Aurelio? What is wrong with me? I'm relaxing into his lips when he presses a forehead to mine and sighs, he smells and tastes of moss and eucalyptus. "We are—" A loud thud and Barley is flying backward away from me as a massive blue-grey blur barrels into him.

"Oh my goodness!" I scream as I back away, Barley getting up to face a wolf growling into his face.

"You can't take her out of nowhere, I found her first!" Barley shouts at the wolf making me tilt my head and slink towards to wall of the building to be out of the way and in cover. The wolf lunges for Barley again but Barley glances at me as he dodges its attempt. "Stupid wolf, I won't be as obvious as you," and runs from the wolf that stays put, growling in a threatening stance at him running off. When Barley is out of view, the wolf sniffs the air to double check before turning around to face me directly, slowly walking toward me.

When the wolf gets close enough it relaxes in front of me to the floor and rolls belly up with its mouth open and tongue out to show itself to be non threatening. I reach out to touch the top of its head and immediately feel the same electric zap from my shoulder to the part I touch the wolf. It must be a fear response to thinking I'll be bit again. I try to ignore the borderline painful electricity as I continue to rub the wolf until it stands up and looks towards where Barley ran away before back to me and huff. "He wasn't hurting me, if that's what you thought. He's just in love with me, he always has been since I can remember. Even as kids." The wolf rolls his eyes and starts to walk away toward the car garage. "Oh, wait Mr. Wolf I need to get to my car in there you can't go that way."

The wolf turns to look at me and seems to almost nod towards the garage before continuing to walk right inside it. I frustratedly stomp my foot before walking into the garage myself but see no wolf. I keep my eye's out for one as I make my way to my car to see Aurelio leaning against the trunk of it. "Aurelio!" I shout and run to him, he chuckles holding his arms open for me to fall right into them as he closes his arms into a tight embrace, shoving his face into my hair.

"I missed you, my divine." He turns my head to kiss me on the lips sweetly. "Such a long day of work for you, did you eat the lunch I prepared?"

"Yes, it was delicious, you've spoiled me with steak. I don't think I'll have a better salad again!" I laugh and he laughs alongside.

"I'll just have to cook for you more often, breakfast, lunch, maybe dinner?" He says the last meal with a question mark.

"Aren't you sick of me yet, Aurelio?" I ask, he had spent the whole night with me and even came to bring me lunch and now I've met him at my car, and waited for however long. I can't deny his presence probably scared off the wolf from earlier, but I can't guarantee that. I start to look around, "You know what, I saw a wolf come in this garage earlier, why don't you at least leave with me so we're both safe. We can talk about this dinner."

"A wolf?" He asks surprised.

"Yes, but if you leave with me I think we'll be okay." I explain trying to unlock the car for us.

"What makes you think I can't keep us safe?" Aurelio asks as he starts to get into the car with me.

"Well, I ran into it before it came in here. It chased off Barley but let me pet it and let me be. I don't think it wanted to hurt me, but protect me." I begin to explain, looking to his face for a reaction and his face seems like that of disbelief. "I know I sound crazy, look, just forget I brought it up. Let's get out of here, alright?"

"No, no I believe you, it's just surprising to hear about. A wolf this close to your office." He turns to look outside the passenger window as I back out of my spot and head towards my place again.

When we make it to my place, Aurelio immediately goes into the kitchen to find food for us to consume. "I'm going to get in more comfortable clothing, you enjoy yourself in there." I say leaving him as I go to my room to put pajamas on. When I head back to Aurelio he was definitely in his element, chopping up garnishes for the dishes then wipes his hand on a towel slung across his shoulder as he lifts the lid off some pot to smell it, closing it back up to look at me after with a grin.

"Marianna, come sit down, I made dinner as promised." He points to my table; napkins, silverware and placeholders were laid out and three flowers were in a vase beside a tall candle.

"This is incredible Aurelio," I almost laugh as I walk up to my unrecognizable table. "The is all so pretty, are these some kind of daisy?" I smell the red puffy flower.

"Cornflower, actually." He answers, bringing over the dishes without his apron or towel. "Dinner is served." Placing before me a seafood pasta and drizzling more sauce on top from a gravy boat before placing a lobster to the side of the swirled pasta and sprinkling something green on top. He sits to join me and gestures for me to eat but I'm a bit stunned so it takes a moment. The first bite makes my body melt at how creamy and delicious it was and he seems satisfied enough with the reaction to begin eating himself, pouring us a glass of wine while he does so.

After a while of eating and drinking, we made our way to the couch to watch tv and cuddle under the blanket, Aurelio seems to shift a lot but I try to ignore it as I get more tired. About halfway through the movie that came on after the show we chose, his hand reaches for mine and holds it while he leans in to kiss my cheek. I lean into the kiss and he trails new ones down to my neck where he nips at my neck right as he presses my hand to his groin where I can feel his hard on. I don't think I really paid much attention before, but his dick was huge... as my hand explores his size he nibbles at my neck. "I need you..." Aurelio whispers to me when my hand tightens slightly.

"But I'm tired, I don't think I have the energy to even try to think of sex." As if on queue, I yawn and he laughs.

"That's quite alright, you don't have to do anything if you don't want to. I'm strong, I can do all the moving for you." His chuckle sounds menacing as the nibbles turn to harder bites making me gasp.

"Aurelio, surely you wouldn't be interested in me being a pillow princess or a limp noodle if I'm being more honest." A hand reaches around my waist and pulls me closer.

"I can move you for you, no need to use a single muscle." He licks my jaw and kisses my lips. "Unless it feels so good you have to cum, thats probably moving a muscle." I let out a heavy breath and Aurelio runs his hand up my back, dragging sharp nails  on his way down my back causing me to arch my body into him. Why he kept his nails long enough I wouldn't know, but it felt so hot scratching me up. He starts pulling my clothes off, not making a single struggle for either of us and lifting one of my legs. "You smell delicious," Aurelio's face plunges into my crotch, his tongue stroking up my slit and finding my clit before drawing circles around it and sucking it into his mouth making my head whip back fast. He keeps sucking for a moment then shoves his tongue deep into my pussy, swirling it inside and moaning into it as he licks me. Oh my goodness he's actually moaning while he eats my juices... a hand goes to cover my mouth as a squeaking moan releases and he immediately reaches to pull my hand back down, pulling away from my pussy to speak, "Don't, I want to hear every sound fully."

His face disappears again, expertly playing with my clit as if he was pleading with it to make me cum. "It's so much, Aurelio..." I try to explain but he seems to try harder as I squirm under him, his hands now pinning my hips down to keep me still, enough for him to keep going. I scream to the ceiling as a wave rushes over me, his face feeling warm and wet and rough on my vagina and as soon as I finish cumming he plunges his tongue back inside me and starts to lick all around making my head drop. He seems to be satisfied with how much he's eaten of me as his face hovers over mine with a large, sopping wet grin. My fluids clearly covering his face and facial hair. My eyes widen at the view feeling my face flush bright red and he kisses me before I can fight it and gets up, heading to the kitchen.

I let go of the muscles I held and melt myself into the couch, wiping my face of me. I can't believe he just did that.

When Aurelio returns, his face is clean and dry this time hovering over me. "You taste fucking delicious, it took every bit of my will power to stop eating you." He grumbles to me, "but I have to feel my dick inside you again."

"Aurelio, I'm so tired, I don't think I can handle anymore." I frown and he leans in to kiss it.

"You were made for me, I know you can handle this. Let me take care of everything." He scoops me into his arms and walks me to the bedroom, peeling the blankets back and placing me down gently inside it. He then starts undressing himself in front of me, his gaze never leaving mine.

A fully undressed Aurelio starts walking around my bedroom, his cock at attention while he's turning off lights and closing curtains for bed time before climbing into the bed from my side, pressing his chest to mine as he slides into the blankets his dick blatantly popping between my slick thighs for a moment. When he's fully under the bed he props his head up on one elbow to face me, brushing my hair out of my face with the other. "You're so beautiful, so divine." The hand begins to trail down my chest and pinches a nipple between fingers before grabbing the whole breast in his hand to hold while he pulls the nipple into his mouth, sucking and swirling his tongue on it. He releases with a pop and goes for the other breast, biting the nipple with his teeth slightly then climbing on top of me for a better angle to suck and tease me. His cock feels like it stretches to the length of my whole abdomen, hard and definitely showing his desire. One last swirl is placed on my nipple and he's hovering above me, adjusting his hips so they slip between my thighs. "I'm going to fuck you, hard and fast. I know you're tired so I'll make it quick, but not one ounce of enjoyment should be lost." A nip at my nose and a knee prying my legs spread before a cock slides slowly inside me, stretching as it goes. I felt so tight around him that even though I was wet from him eating me out, he had to take his time to make sure he could keep pushing inside me without ripping me.

Aurelio groans and seems to almost shake as he enters me, "is everything okay?" I ask out of concern and he growls.

"Once I start, there's no stopping until I cum inside you." He gets out to me when he's fully snug inside. I gulp, probably visibly, as he grins and kisses me, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth momentarily. His forehead rests to mine as he slowly starts grinding himself deeper inside me, controlling the movement as much as possible while his body shivers atop me at the sensation. It doesn't take him long to pick up pace, moaning and gratefully losing contact with my forehead or he'd start head butting me at his pace. My body felt so weak and exhausted already, but he begins pounding into me and it makes me move about like a doll.

Fingernails dig into my hips as my body becomes more shaken up, keeping my pelvis at a fast and ravenous pace with his cock. I'm sure he's drawn blood with them, I don't think I can take much more. Something inside me forces me to squeeze hard with my thighs, wrapping my legs around him as I cum hard onto him and he shouts a moan into the room picking up pace nearly feeling like I'll break as his nails dig even deeper into my skin, i'm sure he's broken skin at this point. My pussy clenches hard and he strokes himself into me like an animal, steaming hot cum unleashes unlike before and Aurelio moans hotter than ever only to bend down and muffle it with a bite to the same sore spot he bit before causing me to scream out, either to moan from insurmountable pleasure or cry at all the pain I couldn't tell yet.

His lower body relaxes on me, his head resting on my chest. "I'm a mess..." I explain and he chuckles.

"My mess," he kisses above my heart and looks at me, "I want us to be a serious couple."

"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" I ask him, a hand petting his head and running my fingers through hair.

"Yes, like boyfriend and girlfriend. I want everyone to know we belong to each other. I'm going to pull out now so you can relax more," HI nod so he slowly slides out of me and I can feel his cum threaten to pour out. "Let me help you," he goes to the restroom fast and comes back with a warm damp towel, pressing it to my groin. It felt like heaven on my sore pussy. "You don't have to answer right now, but I'm much more serious about you than these moments we've had. I've not felt this way about anyone before, such a soft and kind human." My brow furrows at his strange use of human but my exhaustion doesn't take long to take over and I'm out, feeling him cleaning up his cum off me and feeling him get into the bed and pull me into his arms are the last things I remember that night.

A few days pass, Aurelio made us breakfast that morning after and told me he had unavoidable work he had to attend to but he'd be back by the end of next week. That was 3 days ago and it's only Friday. I had an entire extra week to contemplate a relationship with him. And Barley... he hasn't visited yet, I still have his journal. It's been tempting to hold it but the way it made me feel when I first touched it was too overwhelming for me to reach for it again yet. I couldn't even really understand why I felt the way I did when running my hands over it, before realizing I would stroke it comfortingly it made me feel like Barley was holding me in a comforting hug. I grew up with Barley, I never knew he had such a huge crush after he agreed to call off the arranged marriage our parents put together. I figured he had his own plans to fall in love, not be forced into a marriage and all that. When he heard how upset I had been about my parents forcing me into another thing, he cried for me and told me he had gone to his parents to beg to call it off so they did. When our family met back up to discuss it—a shiver runs down my spine—needless to say they were unhappy with the request. And now with Aurelio? I feel bad leaning on the comfort of Barley. The Greenwood family is a reputable name, having our family bonded to theirs pretty much sealed any political deals my family wanted to get their hands on in this small town. A knock at my door pulls me out of these thoughts to see a tall, muscular man walk through in business casual. "Hey! My name is Jackal, are you Marianna, by chance?" A hairy hand is held out to shake mine so stand up and I take it. "You must be, pleased to meet you." He finishes the shake and lets my hand go. "I'm Aurelio's cousin, he told me he had a fine thing named Marianna," eyes look me up and down, "you sure you wanna get with a guy like him? Not to say he's a bad guy, you just uh," he scratches his head, "you don't look like his usual type I suppose. He doesn't usually shoot for any lady, but the one's he's sniffed around don't usually come with your aura." He gestures to the whole office and I think it made more sense, the boss type.

"Right, well Jackal, this aura makes the town and me a lot of money, so I don't see why anyone would complain." I sigh, "Aurelio is a big boy, he can make his own decisions. Though I appreciate you vetting me, you two must be close." He sneers at me for only a brief second before regaining composure.

"We are close, and Aurelio might complain if the Greenwood's continue their plan to encroach on our family land, using you to build on it at that." Jackal scoffs and places a hand on my desk, leaning onto it. "I'm not here to threaten you or attack, but the Greenwood's are threatening a long agreed upon landline agreement and now they're trying to throw money at us in hope we'll just let them take it!"

"That's a city planning issue, why are you coming to me? The construction won't get approved if it goes against any treaties or property line agreements anyways." I explain, sitting down and ignoring his outburst.

"Do you think they haven't made plans to work around that? They threw money at us, how would they not buy approval or just have a plant to force it?" His anger was more apparent as he begins to pace the office.

"I don't think they'd go that far as to bribe government officials into that," I shake my head, "and even if they did, there's still more departments it would have to go through in addition to the Greenwood's and myself. If it makes you feel any better, I have no Greenwood construction locations planned in my paperwork. In fact they've not contacted me in a week."

"No locations?" He sounds confused, "they must be waiting for official approval before taking the locations to you." Jackal holds a hand to his chin, "Aurelio told the family he has been staying at yours, please pass along to him this information next you see him. It's important to him, if you care for him at all." He takes off and I lean back in my chair, what a whirlwind of a man. Good luck to his lady.

I stir awake as I feel a hand caress my waist, turning into the warmth for arms to wrap around me, pulling me further in and deep humming lulling me back to sleep as I burry my face into the vibrating chest with the smell of moss and something else...

I awake shooting upward, looking around. I could have sworn someone was here, a knock sounds at my door and makes me realize why I woke up. Grabbing my silky robe to wear and tie off I open the door to see a seething Aurelio. "Aurelio? What's wrong?" He immediately walks into my space and inhales my hair, grabbing my shoulders to hold me still as he smells me from top to bottom. "This is strange, what's going on?" A kiss is forced to my lips aggressively, a tongue making its way in my mouth as we immediately start to make out from his urgent nature. The door slams behind him and he shoves me against the wall, taking my wrists and pinning them above my head while he starts trailing kisses and nibbles down my body, he unties my robe and pulls a breast into his mouth, sucking and releasing before looking at me in my eyes. They were intense and full of so many emotions I couldn't read all of them. "You are mine, understood? I can't wait for a decision anymore." He starts to hold me tight into a hug, burying his face into my neck and slowly relaxing his muscles, melting into me.

"What happened, Aurelio? Why are you coming to me like this?" I rub his back, holding him.

"What happened while I was away? You seem different." He ignores my question to ask his own.

"Not much, some paperwork at work, oh! Do you have a cousin named Jackal?" Aurelio seems surprised by the name I brought up.

"Yes, why?" He starts to lead me to the couch and pulls me into his lap.

"He came to my office, he said you'd be invested in one of the Greenwood family construction plans?" I shake my head, "that they'd bribe the city planning office or have a plant for approval to steal your family's land. It was quite a large accusation."

"I see," he turns his face away, seemingly to hide it from me so I reach a hand to turn it toward me but it won't budge, "the Greenwood family has long tried to take land owned by my family for generations while they've been developing this town. We had an agreement a long time ago with them that they wouldn't encroach or try to take our land. Jackal has always been prideful of our family and what we've created, so it makes sense that he'd try to go to the person building things for them." When his eyes meet me again, they almost glow, I mean actually glow with something, I can't quite tell what it is, "did any Greenwoods visit you?"

"No, not while you were gone." Does he know about Barley waiting outside my office that day? He seems to grunt in disbelief and I sigh, "honestly, I've not seen any of them." Aurelio gets up and walks around the home, first in the kitchen and grabbing some fruit he finishes in two bites and then to my room. A minute goes by before he comes back to me.

"I want to stay the night, is that alright with you?" He doesn't sound like I have a choice so I nod.

I'm woken by whispering inside the living room, it was Aurelio. When I quietly slip out of bed to get closer to the door, I can hear him clearer. "...but I never said you could even smell her, let alone visit. You know I could have your neck." He pauses, "I don't give a fuck if I'm in Timbuktu, you wait. No one can know about her until I say, I want her safe. And those Greenwoods are suction-cupped to her damn hip it seems, fucking fairies." I frown, there was no need to insult them just from a family feud. I go back to my bed and try to cover myself as much as possible. I'm falling for Aurelio but he hates the people I see as family, what am I supposed to do if they fight?

A hand slips over my mouth while the other turns me towards the person behind me in the bed while I was thinking. It was Barley. My eyes widen and he removes the hand on my mouth to make a Shh gesture to his mouth. I nod and he smiles, "He won't be convinced easily, but I will share you with him." I shake my head and he stops me. "It's okay, I love you, Marianna. You are mine. He can mark you, but so can I. I just won't steal it, or lie my way into getting to. Let me heal your hips, I can smell the blood on you. The damn animal." His hands lightly caress my hips where Aurelio dug his nails in and drew blood. It hurt and was definitely going to bruise. I didn't understand what Barney had meant until I see his palms glow green and my wounds begin to close and heal. I'm about to open my mouth to say something but think better of it, closing it immediately and he looks at me realizing it. "Good, we don't want him hearing you anyway. He can't hear me, you see now I have powers. I'll never use them against you, but if you ever worry I or anyone else might, just wear this necklace." He places a necklace to my palm and closes my fingers around it, holding it with his own hands to pull mine up and kiss it. "I shall go, he's done talking to his cousin in a minute." A gust of wind puffs in the sheets as Barley disappears before me, leaving a residue of green light for just a moment that you almost wouldn't notice it was there if it wasn't so dark in the blankets.

I look at the necklace in my hand, some kind of opal pendant with an intricate chain. With what I saw of Barley just now... I contemplate putting this necklace on when I hear footsteps outside the door and grumbling discussions of goodbyes. Slipping the chain quickly over my head, I let my cheek fall to the pillow and close my eyes to wish myself unconscious. I can feel Aurelio's presence beside me after the door opens, "I'll never let anyone harm you, Marianna. I promise." He whispers to me before placing a kiss to my head and walking around to lay next to me in the bed. The mattress shifts towards his heavy frame and rocks my body into him, he takes advantage of this and scoops me into his arms. A deep inhale sounds from his nostrils, "you smell incredible, my Luna." He tells me, using a term of endearment I've not heard before. I wish I had the courage to ask him, but I'm terrified I might blurt out all my thoughts if I made my consciousness known. So I just accept his hold as he starts to play with my hair, talking to me. "I don't even know where to start, or how to begin explaining anything about my family to you. It's clear they aren't happy about you, but I don't care. They have to deal with it, you're mine. Nothing will stop me from finally being with my true mate. Not my family, not that fairy Barley." He seems to tighten his grip around me before realizing and immediately loosening, peppering kisses atop my head. "I'm so sorry, I won't do that again. That was too tight." It wasn't, but I couldn't tell him that.

He begins to stir us in the bed, rearranging us so he was able to fully lay down with me in his arms. I focused on his breathing as he began to quietly snore. I stay a moment longer before trying to get up but his arm squeezes me to him, keeping me put. I sigh and relax into him, I'm not sure if I'll fall asleep anymore but his presence was soothing at least. It's a good thing I don't mind silence.

Female Human X Male Werewolf

"I wasn't pushing, it's just too many people." A woman says to her traveling companion behind me at TSA.

"Surely you learned to keep space still." He grumbles back and she huffs in response. A small chuckle dares escape my mouth before I cover my mouth embarrassed. The last thing I needed was more attention. Looking around instead, the standstill was from a woman getting her passport denied at the check-in, scrambling to find her ID to use instead. I can't help but sigh and let my body droop.

When I get through TSA, my stomach couldn't be stopped; I had to get a blueberry bagel with cream cheese from a bagel shop inside the airport that I'm eating by my terminal as I notice the same pair located just a few rows away, seemingly arguing again. Shaking my head I look around more to see the people gathering to join my flight back to Greenwood, my hometown.

"Thank you for flying with us, the one and only flight you know you should take, I'll be your attendant on our trip to Greenwood, when you need it, we have it, the flight you need." The speaker cuts abruptly and makes a few people flinch and one man stifle a laugh at the announcer's monotone delivery. I sigh, pulling out a silver skeleton key with a leather band long past the chance of becoming a necklace again.

It was fine, I like fidgeting with the leather too much to wear it around my neck, after owning it for as long as I have it's a worry stone now. Besides, I could never figure out what it belonged to, only the feeling of belonging to something important. I hope so, I think to myself as I pinch the fabric between my thumb and pointer finger nails leaving a dent.

"Okay, can I get all other zones to the counter in a line please. This is final call for flight to Greenwood." I shoot up at the same time as the pair I saw earlier, they must have spaced out too. Getting into the plane and after putting my bag in the overhead storage I plop down to see the same pair coming my way, stopping by my aisle so I scoot myself back letting them in. While the man loads the luggage the woman gets all the way in to the window seat and I hear a loud grumble from behind me as I watch her sit.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were ready for your seat." I say, turning toward him and he glances me up and down before forcing his gaze back down.

"Forgive me, it wasn't at you." Gentle words came out smooth as silk, but the person he was with looked scared when I checked my periphery. I open my mouth but he continues with, "I'd prefer the window if at all possible." As she turns away from him and stays in her seat he sighs. "I'm sorry for any inconveniences my size might become as I'm forced to the middle seat." I nod to him trying not to upset him, scooting back so he can slide into his seat as well.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom first, then I'll sit down. You guys are fine." I try to reassure before going to the bathroom to catch my breath for a moment. I'd be stupid to not think this guy was attractive, but that grumble sent shivers down my spine. I'd never felt like that before, his voice was strong enough to vibrate and surely I wasn't the only one to feel it, right? I splash water onto my face and pat it dry before returning to my seat. I need to just get back home, being in the bathroom won't fix anything.

I slide back down into my seat, my arm squished against him the entire time, at moments it felt like he was leaning into me and breathing heavier, I was starting to think he fell asleep but when I peaked to look he was awake looking at his hands in his lap. I let out a deep sigh, one that moves my whole body and he seems to breathe with me, closing his eyes as if I reminded him of oxygen. I've been there, he must be having a stressful day, he was arguing earlier. After a while I try to settle into the rest of the flight, the attendant stopping for drinks, snacks and trash; before I knew it I was asleep, probably from the turbulence, it always did that.

"You can get off me now..." a soft voice sounds beside me and I sit up.

"Sorry."

"It's fine, just, can you get your bag the flight is done." He says, almost congested sounding.

"Right, sorry, again."Standing and reaching for my bag I glance around to see its down to just our row. "Did everyone else...? I'm so sorry, I must have been so tired."

He begins to stand turning toward me and as he does a hand grabs my waist, "let me help, it's okay," moving me out of the way but not moving his hand from me, just sliding it around my waist. "There we are," placing my roll-around behind him, "I'll walk with you."

"What about your..." I point to his companion and he shakes his head. "Okay." He doesn't leave room between us, or complaints as he guides me down the aisle, when we reach the first class section he pulls me back into his chest. "Um, is everything okay?" His physical contact has increased since sitting next to me and I'm starting to worry about his intentions.

"I lost balance, just give me a moment to steady myself." He sounds embarrassed enough for me to believe it, until he starts to inhale my hair. Pushing off him i lose balance in the aisle and fall to one of the first class seats.

"What are you doing sniffing my hair?" I start to readjust.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if it was you or me that smelled of oak and... jasmine." He leans down toward me but he doesn't seem to realize he's done it.

"Maybe ask?" I straighten out my clothes and he offers a hand to help me up. "Thank you. Listen—"

"Please, call me Aurelio." He interjects.

"Aurelio... you've been kind. I'm sorry about falling asleep on you and keeping you trapped next to me, if you wanted to grab coffee or lunch some time," I hold out my hand after pulling out one of my cards from my purse side pocket, "this is my contact info. On me for the discomfort I might have placed." I smile at him as he looks at me taking the card with both hands, one grazing mine, giving me unexpected shivers I move my hand away quickly. "Right, I have a meeting I have to go to so..." reaching for my bag while his hands are occupied with my card he can't stop me before i try to shuffle away and off the plane. Occasionally I look behind me but after I get to the car parking lot I stop. I don't think he chased after me, I even waited for my checked bag in the bathroom peeking out to see the belt turn for my luggage. I feel stupid, I don't know if he was a creep. I sniff my jasmine washed hair, I don't smell oak...

Getting into the office I dump my things to the side of the front door and slump into one of the waiting couches, my head falling back in exhaustion. When my head lifts up, my plaque stares at me. I glare at the writing that reads 'CEO -  Elysian Greenwood Developments'. Getting up I brush off the dust and pull out my phone to make a few calls, a cleaner included. I hardly notice as one of my friends walks in, "I heard you'd be back in town. I knew I'd catch you here though, why do you still do it?" I jump and turn to see Barley Greenwood. Decent of the founders coming to visit doesn't surprise me.

"Hey Barley, how are you?" I smile and he rushes for a hug from me. "Barley! There's no need for hugs."

"There absolutely is! You've been gone what? Two years? Three?" He fake cries and leans his head on my shoulder. "You can't leave me again. I need my favorite builder."

"Hardly, you just want to convince me of marriage again. No." I sigh and slide out of his hold. "We've gone this route before, I just don't feel the same anymore." He glares briefly before pouting and making twinkle eyes to me. "No!"

"Fine, I'll be back to take you to dinner this week. Get rest, I heard you came in today anyways. We can't have fun when you're exhausted." He chuckles and blows a kiss to me before leaving my waiting room. I didn't even get a chance to protest the dinner plans, so I might have to avoid office meetings for a moment. I can't trust Barley to not interrupt something and make bold statements in front of local clients.

Just as I'm about to head out, grabbing my luggage, my phone rings, "Elysian Greenwood Developments, what can we make for you?"

"Yeah, it's Aurelio, I wanted to cash in on the lunch." His voice sounds rough.

"It's a little late for lunch isn't it?" I laugh noting the clock on my wall reads 6:00pm.

"Not if I haven't had any yet, are you up for it?" I can hear the smile through the phone as he asks.

"Okay, let's go, want to meet me or do I have to come get you too?" I tease, he makes it clear he wants a date.

"No, I'll meet you there, where would you like?" A chuckle.

"How about The Forest Hound?" I suggest, hoping a steakhouse isn't out of question. It's been so long since I've have a good steak. Not like Barley would take me there anyways, he hates steak.

"Perfection..." he breathes out, I barely catch it, "Sounds good, let's meet there in thirty minutes." And he hangs up. The first word must not have been for the call. I shake it off and regather my things, heading out to my car I had dropped off a couple hours ago by the airport services. After dumping my things into the trunk I head toward the restaurant I told Aurelio to meet me at. There was valet and I take it in a heartbeat, not wanting to bother with parking as I was already five minutes late. Not that it was my fault, I didn't pick the time. When I head inside I notice Aurelio already seated at a corner booth, right at the middle. He smiles and waves me over so I make my way to him, his smile only getting wider as I start to slide into the booth and get closer.

"Hey Aurelio, reminds me of the flight." I laugh trying to make light of the earlier debacle as I gesture to the proximity. He laughs too and I'm instantly relieved he didn't hate the experience. "So, why the rush for a dinner? Was it the lack of lunch?" I ask, trying to engage in conversation in between the server getting our drink orders.

"No true rush, other than to see you again." He gives a childish grin before continuing, "can't a man cash in on a free meal with a beautiful woman that fell asleep on him in the plane?" I roll my eyes as the waiter brings our drinks, a gin and tonic for him, a Negroni for me. Once our food is placed, "You truly are a beautiful woman, not to lay it on thick." Aurelio holds his glass up to me before taking a drink.

"I appreciate the compliment," taking a sip of the Negroni, "people say this a lot, but I really don't usually do this with a stranger I met on a flight. There's something about you that draws me in though, I think that's why I invited you to grab something. Besides the whole sleep situation." I chuckle and sip some more.

"You don't have to call me a stranger anymore, not since I introduced myself. I have to agree though, you draw me in, I'd let you sleep with me anytime." He smiles before realizing what he's said and I cover my mouth to hide a laugh as if turn to look for our food. When I look out of the corner of my eye toward him his face is fully flushed.

"Aurelio, please, let me laugh at this." I let go my laugh a bit more, not being able to stop it seeing his red face. It wasn't even that bad of a thing, yet this burly man is flustered before me. He reaches for my hand to move it from my face, probably in silent permission, so I let him and let my laugh go. He smiles before joining me laughing, still watching me as I do. "Sorry, I know you meant nothing rude, it's okay, that's why I was laughing." I'm finally able to explain.

"You can laugh at me." His smile reaches his amber eyes.

"I'm sure we'll have plenty more opportunities for me too." I muster a genuine smile without a chuckle this time.

"I hope so, when do you think that next time could be?"

"We haven't even gotten our dinner and you're planning our second?" I tease.

"Yes." A serious response.

"Umm," I clear my throat and am about to speak when our food is delivered to our table, just in time to give me a chance to think. "Oh! Thank you so much. Could I have some more of this sauce for these potatoes?" The waiter nods and rushes off. "Your steak looks amazing, why did you order rare?" I chuckle as I take a bite of my salmon.

"I just like the taste of the bloody juice with the meat. I can dip my sides into it too." He says doing so and shoving the large bite into his mouth. It was a large steak too, it came on its own plate. I nod agreeing, the waiter eventually brings my sauce and we finish our food in relative silence. Aurelio gives off a tense aura during the meal, something had seemed to be unsaid that he wanted to say to me but there was nothing.

"This was amazing, thank you." I tell the waiter as he grabs my plate from in front of me, he smiles grabbing Aurelio's plates before asking if we wanted any dessert. "Umm, whatever the special is please." Looking to Aurelio, he nods in agreement. "Make that two." The waiter takes off and I turn to him. "So what do you do?"

"Oh! Real estate management, yourself? I saw the card but, in more detail please, I'd love to hear."

"Development, so I suppose I develop the things you manage." I laugh, "maybe I can refer my clients to you after I finish my job."

"Maybe!" He laughs with me, his whole body leaning toward me.

As we walk out of the restaurant Aurelio offers to take me to a dance club and I couldn't say no. "Somehow you've found a weak spot, I use to go dancing with my friends all the time in Xapolis."

"Really now?" He raises an eyebrow and places a hand behind my back, leading me to the place he wanted to take me. "This place is owned by a friend of mine, before you ask I don't manage this club." He smiles and we reach an alleyway with a neon light at the end, flashing the name 'Alibi'. We walk past the bouncer, he doesn't even bother to stop us with a line of a few people outside waiting to get in. "Do you want any drinks?" He offers, pointing to the bar.

"I'd be fine with a Moscow mule." Responding he leads me to the bar, and when we get there the bartender rushes over.

"A, what can i get you and your date?"     He almost bows at us, but I could be wrong because he started to just scratch his leg.

"Yes, I'll have two Moscow mules." Ordering our drink and giving me a smile, the bartender finishes quickly and places it in front of us. Grabbing it to sip, I turn to Aurelio.

"Want to dance?" I give a large grin before walking off towards the dance floor, once I get to the middle I turn to see Aurelio still at the bar eyes wide. I gesture for him to come over and begin to start dancing where I'm at to the music with my drink in hand. I start to feel a hand wrap on my waist and dance against the person giggling, but when I turn around it was a different person than the one I arrived with. I give him a look of surprise and he responds with a sly smile, trying to continue the dance before I see Aurelio loom over him beside us. When the guy turns to see Aurelio his eyes open with partial fear but he doesn't stop dancing.

"That's my mate." A growled sentence I barely hear through the music, surely he meant date. Shaking it off I see the other man slink away immediately, almost disappearing into the crowd and Aurelio takes his spot, pressing his body into me. "If anyone else touches you tonight, I can't guarantee I won't start a fight." He shouts to me over the music, definitely loud enough for the dancers beside us to hear too and give space to us in response.

"I do like a man whose eyes don't wander while with me. I can respect staying with my date." I smile and wrap my arms around his neck, swaying my hips against him as we dance on the floor. He presses his forehead to mine closing his eyes to take a deep breath before starting to lead me around the dance floor, spinning me, grabbing my hand and making me winded taking sips of our drink and laughing as mostly I make a few mistakes with footing. "Okay okay, I need to put the glass down, I'm so done with it." I hold up my glass very high and he snags it from my hand, his other hand caressing my face before walking away to put our glasses on the bar and coming back quickly. Pulling me tightly into his body the music started to slow down and it was the perfect time for us to start a slow sway. I could start to feel the effect of my drinks for the evening and him holding me felt comforting. His face starts to bury itself into my neck and it tickles as he breathes making me giggle and flinch. "Sorry, it tickles." I respond with my face feeling a bit flushed. "I'm definitely a little tipsy." I explain to him, holding on tighter.

"That's fine, I'll protect you." He whispers into my ear and keeps his face in my neck. He was sweet and I melted at his words, maybe I also felt warm from the alcohol.

"Maybe I should head home, I do have work tomorrow." I say realizing my balance is getting worse. "I've had so much fun though, I'm struggling to stay balanced." I giggle still holding him tightly.

"Well let me help you get home safely, I promise." Aurelio sweetly offers an arm to me and leads us off the dance floor to the exit. When we finally get to the alleyway again I'm a stumbling mess on the uneven stone path. I try to catch my balance a few times on him and then to the wall.

"Just give me a moment, sorry, it's been a while since I've been out having drinks." I blush embarrassed by my behavior. Aurelio comes up to me and leans closely.

"Would you like help, or to stay here for a moment?" His breath was rough, like he needed to clear it.

"Here." I say closing my eyes to make things stop spinning. I feel lips press to mine and I see Aurelio kissing me when I look, making me deepen the kiss when i see the intensity on his face. He presses into me, making me feel more stable to hold him tighter into me, shoving my tongue into his mouth and enjoying the way he tastes like salty caramel and chocolate. A moan escapes his lips and my eyes roll in attraction to the noise. Once I realize how deep we were kissing i try to make us stop, flustered by the location and my imbalance. He lets it stop but leaves his forehead to mine again. "Damn..." I respond to the moment breathlessly.

"Yeah?" He laughs and hugs me, nuzzling my neck. "Let me help you home, shaky girl."

"I'm not! Just tipsy." I snort at him and he lifts me into his arms.

"I'll carry you, just tipsy girl." He scoops me up into his arms and leads us to a parking garage towards a convertible.

"Oh fancy car." I tease and he shakes his head opening the passenger door to place me inside. "Thank you strongman." He walks around and starts the car. "I have a place at that new apartment tower, can you take me there?"

"Should have known you'd be responsible for that one." He turns to look at me but I don't quite understand the expression so i just nod politely. "I want to take you on a second date."

"I'd love that, wait, did I just take you on a date?" I ask confused.

"I would like it to be seen that way." He says with sincerity.

"Okay, it can be a date." I smile and look down at my lap before looking back at him, "Thank you for the dancing and the kiss."

"I'd give you anything you ask for."

"Anything?" I tease back. "Even two horses and a boat?" I scramble to make up ridiculous requests for a first date.

"Yes, even two horses and a boat." He turns to look at me smiling, "though somehow I don't get a vibe you want those for real."

"Maybe..." I pout. We reach my place now and he walks around after stopping at the entrance. "Thank you," i take his offered hand and once I'm standing he presses into me again, giving another deep kiss. It just makes me melt into him again and he scoops me into his arms not breaking the interaction.

He begins to walk us to the automatic doors, closing the car door with his foot. I break the kiss, "the elevator, level 17." I instruct and he walks over and waits for the elevator he called, placing a quicker kiss to my lips before entering it and pressing the button. When the doors close he turns us around to press us to the wall and make out, forcing his tongue into my mouth my breath gets hot as we intensify the kiss.

"Let me stay the night, nothing will happen you don't want." Aurelio asks, explaining he'll be good. I don't think I want that though.

"You can stay." I whisper to him and he hugs me tight to him before kissing my cheek and burying his face in my neck again. The elevator dings, so i point left toward my side of the floor. "Right here." He stops at my door and i enter my code, opening the door. He pushes it open with his back and closes it with his foot as he walks forward and I flip a light switch along the way. He makes his way to the couch and sets me down, going into the kitchen.

"Where's your glasses?" He asks.

""Left of the fridge." I respond and he nods grabbing a cup and filling it with ice water from my fridge. Once he brings it over to me I take a sip. "Thank you." When I'm done he takes it from me and sets it down on the coffee table and turns to kiss me. "I've got to go to bed, where do you want to sleep? I have a guest room."

"With you, if that's alright." He lifts me up again and i roll my eyes.

"I have legs." He shakes his head. "I do!"

"They don't work right now, you need to let them rest." He explains taking me into my room I point out. He lays me down on my bed and I take off the uncomfortable clothes and shoes, settling into bed with my bra and underwear. "Would you like pajamas?" He asks and I turn to see his face absolutely red.

"Oh! Shoot, yeah in that top right drawer please." He grabs me a long shirt and i pull it on, sneakily taking the bra off after its on. "Sorry, don't mean to just strip out of nowhere. I really do need to go to bed." I laugh at myself and pat the bed beside me. "Whenever you'd like to join."

"I'm not quite tired yet, but id happily hold you to sleep." He offers and I pat the side of me again. He comes over and lays beside me so I take my chance to cozy into him.

"Look at me sleeping with you again, must be the way you make me feel around you." I comment before starting to fade as he kisses the top of my head.

"Goodnight."

I awake alone to my alarm, stirring in my poofy bedding. I remember there was an Aurelio beside me, saying something about not being tired. When I begin to look around his head appears in the doorway to the room. "You're up, just in time. I have breakfast." He fully walks in and places a tray of assorted food before me on the bed. "I hope you don't mind I raided the kitchen and made this for us." He confesses.

"Oh this is lovely don't worry about it." Sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, cheesy grits, orange juice, and more before me. Half of it a forgotten ingredient I owned. "Where did you find the sausages?"

"Oh, that was in the freezer." He chuckles, "that sounds like you didn't know everything you had anyways. This was a good thing." He comes around the bed to sit beside me. "Please, eat." He gestures with a hand so I do going for the bacon. He starts to join eating, "I have to say this is really calming for me. I wasn't expecting to be here this long but I can't lie, I'm glad I've stayed."

"I'm glad you did too," I mumble with a mouth full of egg and toast before swallowing what I chewed up. "Sorry, this is really good." I laugh.

"It's fine, I want you fully satisfied." He winks before eating some of the sausage.

"I have to leave for work in about an hour, so I'll need to shower, what about you? Do you need to head to work?" I blush as I continue to eat.

"No, not this week, but it gives more time with you so I can't complain." He answers.

"That's fine, just press enter on the door pad when you leave so it locks." I tell him before plopping back onto the bed. "I'm stuffed, you can have the rest."

"No room for sweets?" Aurelio asks as he leans into me and kisses my exposed upper breast before pulling the sleeve of my shirt back up my shoulder. "Enjoy your shower." He backs away from me as my breath starts to stutter.

Getting up and heading to the bathroom I try to shake off the tender kiss. When the water starts to get hot I step into the shower and let the water wash over me sighing at the feeling.

I start to use my soap when I feel a hand caressing my side causing me to jump and turn around to see Aurelio. "You're so beautiful, when I heard the shower I tried so hard to stop thinking about you in it..." Leaning in to kiss me on the lips i wrap my arms around his neck pulling him into me before realizing he was also naked, and a rock hard cock was pushing into my stomach. "So soft..." He whispers as he strokes my skin and I shiver.

A hand begins to run its way towards my pussy, holding itself there for a moment feeling hot and tempting as a finger lands perfectly at my entrance. "Aurelio..."

"Yes?" He teases me as his fingers start to lightly tap repeatedly causing my legs to shake.

"I have to work..." I try to debate our actions but my body was definitely not helping.

"I don't think I can stop." He growls, actually growls into my ear before plunging a finger right inside as his thumb begins rhythmically stroking my clit. My legs quiver and his other hand grips my thigh to pull my leg around his waist for better support as he leans his back against the shower tile wall, letting the hot water pour over me as he continues to thrust and stroke me. "You're so wet for me, it's not the shower I can feel it building, fuck." He groans and I can feel his cock begin to compete for space with his hand. My moaning is more audible at the feeling and the steam is causing me to pant.

"Aurelio... please, I can't," I try to plead again but it was obvious I made no moves to stop him.

His hand moved like he knew exactly how to make me sent over the edge as I lightly buckle onto his hand, moaning as I cum. "Okay, okay... please I have to go to work." I exasperatedly explain.

His head shakes as he growls, "You're mine, Marianna. I'm not stopping anymore." I feel his cock pushes into me then, my vagina feeling tight from lack of use as of late creating his moans, "fuck, you're so tight."

He slowly starts pulling back out and I unintentionally whimper thinking he's decided to stop but he shoves himself right back in faster and deeper than before and he moans again before leaning toward my ear, "were you worried I wasn't going to fuck your pretty little pussy, Marianna?" I gulp but nod slowly, "there's no stopping me from desecrating you now, don't worry."

A hand strokes my cheek before he continues to pound into me at a slow and steady pace and I whimper for a different reason now as he starts to pick up pace, grunting and moaning as he holds me close so he can keep thrusting his cock faster. "I'm getting close," He barely speaks between moans but I don't need the warning, I can feel his cock get harder inside as he strokes into me deeper and harder with less rhythmic control. It sends me and my pussy clenches around him but thats it for him, hot cum streams into me as he roughly bites into my shoulder to muffle his moan.

The bite was hard enough to not only turn me on in some strange way, causing another orgasm to erupt and clench over his member but also scream out and grip onto him, digging my nails in. "Bite me back," I hear him mumble a request still attached to my shoulder and I bite his shoulder too, as hard as I possibly can to match the way he was making me feel at the moment. I can feel his body buckle slightly under my bite but not a bit of cock slipped out nor did his bite loosen as he moans and shoves his dick harder into me, pushing on my cervix and unloading another stream of hot cum inside me taking me by surprise I release my bite with a gasp and my legs feel like jelly as I squeeze another hard orgasm out onto him. "Fuck, Marianna you're so hot," Aurelio whispers to my ear as his arms wrap around me to hold me to him, not letting me fall.

"My legs aren't legs anymore," I tell him as I reach around his neck to hug him to me, my head resting on his chest. "That's gotta be the best shower sex I've had." I giggle a little.

"The way I wanted to make you join the mile high club," he grumbles to me, "at least we can clean up the mess I've made of you here." He pinches my chin and tilts my head toward his face to kiss me sweetly on the lips as a blush forms on my cheeks. "Let's finish this shower." I nod a little fast in agreement.

"I don't want to exhaust us, we just woke up." I try to play off and within a blink my body spins and my ass is facing him while I face the shower wall, "What the...?"

"I won't get exhausted with fucking you, maybe one more will leave you with a better memory of me owning you, Marianna." A controlled frustration let out as he presses his tip at my entrance, "Let's see how exhausted I can make you." He chuckles before shoving his cock inside me again, filling me fully and slamming into me with my cervix immediately meeting him.

A groan from both of us before he starts stroking in and out of me again, my hands barely bracing both of us on the wall as he thrusts harder and faster. My eyes begin to roll as I swear his cock swells larger inside me and my arms lose their stability but he reaches an arm forward to brace both of us as the other hand grips my hip to manipulate my body to push back into him with better force as he grunts and fucks me.

I let him hold me together as I relax into a full body orgasm, my walls convulsing over his extra engorged cock causing him to shout and unleash his own orgasm, his legs shaking to get every last drop inside me. He holds his cock snuggly inside as he hugs me to his chest from my back.

"Your cock feels so much bigger this time, I couldn't hold on." I explain relaxing further into his hold.

"And you took every fucking bit of it," he moans and twitches inside me, a bit of cum unloading into me. "You're perfect." Kisses start to spread over my skin as he runs his lips onto my skin. He digs his painfully enjoyable fingernails into my sides as he carries both of us under the stream of water, "let me clean us both up, I've got you." Warm water runs over my chest as I close my eyes, it feels perfect after our rendezvous. He reaches for the soap and begins sudsing us both up, but his cock doesn't budge for a few moments. It was fine to me, he held me up the whole time but id never experienced such a large cock that just stuck itself inside me so perfectly like his does. "I'll bring you lunch to work, my divine."

"You aren't going to try and convince me to stay?" I ask, kissing his cheek.

"No, I know what it takes to run a business and have people depend on you, I won't keep you from doing that. The thought of you naked in here was just too much to resist." He finishes washing our bodies and begins to lift me off his cock. I feel his cum pouring out of me as he holds me up to let it fall, his eyes trained onto the visage. "I'll have to do this more often, that was a wonderful view."

"Okay," I laugh, "c'mon Aurelio." He nods and reaches for the shampoo.

Female Reader X Female Orc

Part 3

Heather must not have said anything to Oleok because as more days passed I wasn't teased or taunted by either of them. Grug and Gambrol left to hunt for livestock suppliers and local builders to set up for the farm. He was moving fast, deciding on using some of the land just before you reached their house so it was closer for townspeople to tend to it after he chose which ones he would hire. They were like two peas in a pod, Gambrol pushed for it just as much as he did even though she apologized excessively for having to leave so quickly after our moment, I had to ensure her I'd be fine and she should go.

It got much quieter though, at the house. Oleok and Heather decided to have a double baby shower and spent a lot of time at the dining table putting things together for it. It left me with a lot of chores but I couldn't complain, Heather was the size of a watermelon but Oleok looked ready to burst.

"Mae, could you bring us some card stock from the office?" Oleok asks as I place a flower filled vase on the table.

"Yes, of course." I rush off and bring some back to her.

"I'm sorry we're having you do so much these days, my ankles just get so swollen I'm getting a feeling these babies want out pretty soon." Heather sympathizes. "On the plus side, Gambrol comes home tonight. So does her older brother Milok, and Grug." Suddenly a smile shines from Oleok.

"Milok!" She exclaims before turning to me and showing off her beam. "I'm so excited you get to meet him! He's been away for a while. He's actually an architect like your father!"

"Like my father? Did they work together?" I ask surprised.

"I think so, your father helped around with some structures and properties around the town including in our own home. He's a good reason why you got the job, he was family. Just like you." Oleok comes up to me and embraces me into a warm hug.

"Oh, thank you." I blush and hug her back. "I wouldn't say that, I work for you guys but I wouldn't want to impose."

"Nonsense! You mean so much to everyone here, especially Gambrol." She leans away and winks before reclaiming her seat at the table as the front door swings open and slams against the wall.

"Heather!" A loud booming voice echoes through the foyer practically shaking the crystal vases and chandelier above them.

"Milok!" Heather squeals and rushes out of the room to the voice and I quietly follow behind her to see her be engulfed in the arms of a large orc male wearing a very pricey looking suit.

Slipping out from behind Milok and Heather was Grug and I couldn't hide the small frown that formed on my face before he noticed and laughed.

"Don't you worry," He walks up to me and pats my head. "She's waiting for you in the garden. She thought you'd be there." Walking past me I slide past the spectacle at the door and go around toward the flowers to see Gambrol leaning over and smelling some lilacs.

I try to calmly stride over to her and she turns as my foot crunches a leaf. A heart-stopping smile radiates from her as she holds her arms open. I don't take an extra second to think before slipping into them and resting my head on her chest as she strokes my hair. "I missed you..." She whispers to my ear before pressing a kiss to it. I nuzzle my face further into her and she chuckles, "are you tired?" I nod.

Gambrol lifts my legs up as I hold onto her neck and starts to walk us into the house. Everyone was in the dining room chatting and laughing about their adventures as she leads us up the stairs towards my bedroom before trying to set me down. "Lay down with me...?" I say grabbing hold of her hand as she starts to step away.

She complies immediately, taking her shoes off before laying behind me and pulling me into her, running fingers through my hair. "You really awoke something in our family," Gambrol starts to whisper to me. "I'm glad you joined us." She finishes before laying kisses to my head as a start to drift into sleep.

A knock sounds at the door jolting me awake and realizing I was alone. "Come in!" I shout trying to sit up as Heather enters the room.

"Sorry to wake you! I wanted to bring you some breakfast, you have the day off today since everyone is home we just want to celebrate with just the family. We'll be having a big dinner with more guests later so Gambrol left a dress for you to wear before heading out to bring a few invites to family members that have no address." She chuckles placing a tray full of every type of breakfast item you could think of.

"That's... a lot of food." My eyes widen looking back up at her.

"I know, I told her it was too much food but she insisted you had all of it before she had left." Heather rolls her eyes but smiles and sits on the bed with me. "She's really taken a liking to you Mae..." she starts.

"I'd hope she at least likes me." I smile sheepishly and shake my head. "I'm pretty sure I more than like her..." I admit.

"You know what I meant!" She gently pushes my shoulder and gets up. "Make sure to wear that outfit tonight, but other than that enjoy the day off!" Heather says leaving the room.

I spend the day wandering about the home and grounds, it was fascinating how quickly Grug made things happen as I saw pens already being built in some parts of the property. They also hired decorators and catering for tonight as I tried to ignore the influx of cars in the front and guests I didn't know before today came filing into guest rooms downstairs. "There you are!" Grug booms from the other side of the foyer before making large strides toward me. "I need to ask you something, business related." He starts to pull me toward the study and closes the door after we enter. "Take a seat for a moment." He says, reaching into his desk and bustling through the drawer. Papers start to get tossed out before I notice a latch noise and he pulls out a box. Wiping his large hands to dust off the small thing before passing it to me, taking me two hands to hold it. "Open it, it's alright. Nothing to bite you." He chuckles dropping down into his chair.

Opening the box slowly, it reveals jewelry. Hair beads and matching earrings, necklace, bracelets. "These are beautiful..." I say as I pull out some of the pieces to get a better look. They had precious gemstones, ruby, sapphire, emerald and the like.

"I want you to wear them tonight. They were crafted for our bloodline so I want other family members to know you're one of us." He explains before coming over to pick up one of the hair beads. "You'll get a braid from Oleok as well as me." He continues as he starts to section off my hair and braids it. "I also want to say thank you, you've reminded me of the reason I built our name to where it is. I get carried away with paperwork and semantics, and here you are shining a light on the bigger picture." He finishes the braid and places the jewelry, backing away to admire his work.

"Thank you," I start, "you've given me a home and a sense of security I lost after my dad passed away. We use to spend a lot of time talking about the builds he'd work on. When that fire happened..." my whole body shivers and he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"It's alright, I know. Why don't you head out to Oleok, she's in her room getting dressed." He grins and starts to gently push me out of the study.

Heading over to Oleok's room I knock and hear a quick, "one moment!" The door springing open wide after a few rustling sounds. "Oh!" She pulls me in quickly and smiles wide noticing the braid and box in hand. "You look wonderful Mae, Grug did a great job." Sitting me down in front of a mirror she opens the box in my hands and grabs another hair piece before starting on another part of my hair. "You must be aware of how important you are already to our family, but I just wanted to make sure to say thank you for joining it and accepting us as we are."

"Thank you!" I start to interject, "you've all done so much for me already, I was supposed to be an employee but I feel like so much more than that today..." Oleok finishes her braid and placement of the bead, hugging me tight to her.

"You were family before you even walked through that door, honestly. Not many people would have made the cut or even been able to handle us. The stigma of orcs run deep in this town, not to mention the fact that we own so much around here. We've grown a list of enemies just as much as we have friends." Kissing my cheek she releases and helps me back up. I look in the mirror and look at the braids smiling and looking up at Oleok. "Now go finish getting ready."

Evening arrives and I had put on the remainder of the jewelry, save a few hair jewels I thought I probably wasn't allowed to put in my own hair as well as the forest green dress Gambrol had gotten me. It felt surreal, looking in the mirror at my entire ensemble I looked royal. I had pulled some of my hair up to show the earrings and braids better, and the scoop neckline of the dress compliments the necklace perfectly. Taking a deep breath I head out of the room and head down the stairs to the foyer, looking down to see a group of people gathers talking and laughing together before I make eye contact with Gambrol. She beams at me as she heads toward the base of the stairs, holding her hand up in anticipation of mine taking it. I smile back at her and reach her quicker, hand in hers as she brings it up to her lips and kisses me softly. Her tusks grazing my skin before placing my hand on her arm to lead me toward a group of people she was originally standing with. "Such a beautiful woman you have on that arm, Gambrol." A man starts to look me up and down before smirking.

"Yes, I'm fairly blessed to have her." She responds in kind, making sure he was aware I was taken. I gently squeeze her arm and giggle a little, she was clearly possessive over me but it made me happy.

We spent the rest of that night with her talking to numerous people, mentioning my project involvement with the family and getting me a few hard pats on the shoulder as well as a big hug from what I was assuming was an aunt of hers. Heather was dealing with similar reactions, but also including excitement for the new babies arriving soon. "When will you be giving us children?" A voice sounds to my right.

"It's much too early to be asking those things, Murzush." Gambrol responds quickly.

"Of course, my apologies." She smirks and slips away.

"Could I actually talk to you in private for a moment?" She turns to whisper into my ear, making me flush slightly at the feel of her breathe.

"Yeah that's fine." I respond as she already leads me away from crowds outside.

"Let's go to the garden gazebo." She directs me as she pushes me ahead of us.

As I look forward, I start to notice the gazebo lit up by fairy lights wrapped all around it. Flowers of multiple varieties adorn the beams and cascade down every part they could causing me to pause and turn back to look at Gambrol. She was smiling with a look I hadn't seen yet before in her eyes. "Go ahead." She encourages as I make my way closer to the gazebo. What was she trying to do?
