Under the Blood Moon

Married?

Married?

Scarlet

The sun rises over our intertwined bodies a few hours later, waking to his arms wrapped around me I look into his sleeping face. Soft black hair falling over his eyes, his lips are pouting against my shoulder as though he has fallen sleep kissing me. Lifting my arm I brush the hair from his face before planting a kiss on his forehead. I wriggle free from his embrace trying to leave him sleeping. He looks angelic.

Scanning my eyes across the room I spy the bathroom, I’m disgusting, dusty hands and feet, sweaty and I can feel just how many directions my hair is standing in! I sneak to the shower turning on the rainforest head before stepping in.

Running my soap lathered hands over my body I lose myself to the recollection of the night before ‘mine’ I purr as I think of the sleeping Adonis next door. How on earth did the gawky redhead manage to land herself this hunk, she could hear her friends ask. My smile threatened to split my face as I empty a handful of shampoo onto my hair.

I almost jump out of my skin when I feel his hands join my own in lathering my hair, “Morning” he greets me, “I thought you had run away” he pouts, bending to kiss me in the running water. “Never” I gasp through the kiss. I am amazed to find him standing to attention as he presses against me, is it possible to die of pleasure I wonder as I allow my hand to reach his manhood. He groans against my neck as I wrap my hand around him. Letting my fingers slide down his length in the warm water, his mouth opens against my skin, letting his teeth run against my neck, he releases the bite and moves closer to my collarbone, “If I bite you here, I claim you as my own” he mumbles against the dip of flesh. “All yours” I purr.

With that he lifts me against the shower tiles, pushing immediately inside me. The water streams down our conjoined bodies as we find our rhythm against the wall, my legs wrapped firmly around him, pulling him in deeper with every thrust, his teeth clamp down as we reach our combined climax.

A trickle of blood slips from the bite as he moves to let me down, he kisses the wound tenderly, stroking my shoulders, slipping his lips down to my breasts before capturing my n*****s, one between his teeth, the other with his hand. The sensations slowly build again as I begin to pant at his insistent touch.

Struggling to stay up right in the shower he flips me around, my arms bracing against the shower side, his lips continue their assault across my back, a slow tender bite to my buttock as his finger slide against my p***y. Rubbing against my cl!t I groan again, pushing back against him he stands behind me, his erection presses into my thigh for moment before he adjusts himself entering me breathlessly.

One hand holding my hip the other reaching further around to maintain the pressure that is bringing me closer to the edge. His fingers dig deeper into my hip as he thrusts, bouncing off my ass, the pressure builds from those fingerprints, reaching down to the fingertips dancing across my cl!t, then back into the aching fullness of his c!ck pulsing deep inside, before shooting upwards into my diamond hard n*****s. I cry out his name, begging him to f**k me harder, faster, deeper, before I collapse spent against him. My orgasm pulls him into his own and I hear him call out my name before I feel his butterfly kisses fluttering over my back.

We stand together in the streaming water minutes later washing off the soap bubbles from having actually showered, before wrapping ourselves in fluffy towels and heading back into the bedroom.

I flush almost purple when on entering the room I spy a large breakfast tray sat by the lounge chairs in the corner of the room. “Oh my god, someone was in here while we were in there!” I cry out in embarrassment.

Stefan chuckles in his velvety smooth voice before sitting down and picking a rasher of bacon from his plate “Don’t worry I’m sure they’ve heard worse”

“That’s not the point!” My voice shrill.

“It’s ok, Scarlet, sit down and eat, we have a long day ahead of us”

I huff before choosing a seat and helping myself to a plate, “What do you mean? I don’t have work till 2. There’s loads of time!”

He gulps a large mouthful of coffee and looks a little embarrassed before beginning “Well I think I need to meet your mum if we’re going to be getting married, don’t you?”

“Married?”

Stefan

Ok maybe I should’ve talked that one through with her, marriage just seems like the next natural step after we’ve claimed each other forever though.

She is angry with me right now and I think we’re just about to have our first fight, but I can’t help but smile at the idea of the make-up s*x.

“mmhmm” I nod through a mouthful of croissant, swallowing I reply, “Well we agreed to forever last night, so marriage seems a logical next step.”

“And you didn’t think that asking me would be a good idea?” she growls, a cup of coffee cradled in her hands.

I’m torn between arguing with her and just apologising, apologising won’t get me that good make-up fun, but I can’t bear to have her angry with me for even a moment after our perfect night. “You’re right” I relent “I’m going about it all the wrong way Red.” I flutter my eyelashes at her like a lost puppy “Forget about it for now, but I still need to meet your Mum, we need to understand what happened to your Dad.”

She smiles grateful for my apology and takes a sip of the coffee before picking something from the breakfast plates in front of her. “That’s better.” She chuckles to herself. I’m happy to know that my mate won’t be a push over, she needs strength to discover the truth behind her father’s disappearance and to figure out why her Mum has been lying to her for years.

I stand up smiling back, moving over to her I plant a kiss on the top of her head. “I need to pop out for twenty minutes to catch up with my uncle about the hotel, can you keep yourself out of trouble while I’m gone?”

She giggles lightly as I run my fingers across her shoulders. “I’m pretty sure I can manage that” she says in a mock serious tone.

I kiss her once more before heading out to meet with my uncle. I need to offer him the funds to update the hotel and get copies of the books to make sure that the business remains viable through the renovations and beyond. Scarlet can give me the heads up about what the area needs and how to draw the customers in later.

After the brief meeting I head out of the office, pleased and what uncle John and I have agreed on. My phone starts to ring within seconds of leaving the room, almost as though someone is keeping mum up to date on my movements.

“Hey Mum” I answer with a small smirk on my lips.

“Hey baby boy” she replies, “So tell me all about her!” I laugh at the almost entirely predicted conversation, before I fill her in on the bit’s I didn’t know during our last conversation. Mum is over the moon that she’s accepted me as a mate and that everything is going well so far. She gives me a few tips on meeting the in-law’s before sending Scarlet her love and letting me go.

Scarlet

Married, sh!t this boy is so serious.

I’m really happy with the way the minor disagreement went though, he was immediately apologetic and accepted my point of view without any melodrama. It settled my anxieties almost immediately, I still thought I was a little too young for marriage and that we barely knew each other but the way we dealt with the argument was very mature and positive at least.

After he left the room, I flopped onto the bed and started to flick through the channels as memories of the last 12 hours tumbled through my brain. It was a little frightening if not entirely jarring just how fast Stefan had fallen into my life and just how right everything felt right now.

Meeting Mum could be interesting, getting her out of the restaurant for long enough for a proper conversation might be the hardest part of all, but it needed to happen. Actually a lot need to happen, we needed to discuss how this would work with living at opposite ends of the country? How would I learn more about the Lycan world while he was away? Marriage???
