The Beginning of Love

Jacob wakes at 6am. He goes to the wardrobe and looks between jeans a black dress pants. He decides since this is a job he would dress appropriately and grabbed a pair a black dress pants, a white buttoned up shirt, a black dress jacket, a pair of black dress shoes. He then walked out of the wardrobe and to the dresser where he paired his out fit with a nice pair of black socks, boxers, and a black tie. He placed his outfit on his bed, laid out neatly. He then went and took a shower, shaved, and brushed his teeth. He brushed his hair back and then went back into his room where he dressed himself and left his room.

He went about cleaning up the castle from last night. After cleaning up the castle he went to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and grabbed out ingredients for breakfast. Then he went to the pantry and grabbed out more ingredients. He then grabbed, a pot and two skillets and sat them on the stove. He grabbed out a pan and placed it beside the ingredients along with a cutting bored and knife. He grabbed out plates, silverware, and glasses, and went to the dinning hall where he sat the table for 6 deciding since he was the labor he wouldn't eat with the family and their friends. He walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the fruits and vegetables placing them in the sink and running water over them. He grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and placed it in front of the cutting board. He turned and used the pot filler to fill up the pot with a bit of water before turning of the pot filler and placing the filled pot on the burning which he turned on low to boil the water. He turned back to the island and turned the sink off, grabbing the fruit he shook off the access water and placed the fruit on the cutting bored where he began the chip the fruit and place it in the bowl pushing the bowl to the side once done. He then grabbed the vegetables, placing them on the cutting board he chopped them up, turning with the cutting bored, he pushed the vegetables in the skillet. He put the cutting board in the sink. He then poured a little oil on the vegetables and turned on the heat to mid-low. He grabbed the oatmeal and put 3 cups into the boiling water and stirred thoroughly, turning the heat off, he placed in a little brown sugar while stirring and then let it set. He then grabbed a spatula and flipped the vegetables, once fried up he added eggs, cheese, and some seasoning mixing it all up turning the heat down low and let it sit while he turned to the island and placed the croissants that he rolled out and placed cinnamon sugar and butter on before rolling them up on the pan and turned and placed them in the oven. He then grabbed the sausage and placed them in the free skillet where he fried them up. He packed everything nicely into different bowls with their respected serving utensil and walked each item to the dining room placing them on the table in the center along with a big glass jar of orange juice and milk.

Once he was pleased with the lay out he walked to the hall where he waited to greet everyone.

Everyone woke accordingly to the smell of delicious food. They showered and changed and ran down the stairs righting themselves once they saw Jacob.

"Good morning Jacob" they all said.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen" he replied, "breakfast is on the table, please enjoy" he gestured to them.

They entered the dinning hall and saw only 6 plates and stopped turning to look at Jacob.

"Why are there only six plates" asked Harley.

"I'm sorry miss but I felt with me being the help that I shouldn't eat with everyone" he replied.

"Ok, hold up. Just because we hired you to cook and clean doesn't mean we don't want you to join us for meals. You are family, so get yourself a plate, silverware, and a glass and join us" said Lykin.

"Yea" everyone agreed.

He sighed and did as he was asked. He joined everyone at the table.

"Jacob, please dont ever feel like you can't eat with us. We aren't snobby or anything. We look at you like youre apart of the family" said Ayame.

"I am sorry miss, it won't happen again" he replied.

"Whats with the formalities? Just call us by our names man" said Strephen.

They all nodded in agreement.

"I am truly sorry. I just thought that that's what I'm supposed to do" he replied.

"Never" said Lykin, "we aren't royalty, so therefore its not required. Just call us by our names, please."

"Very well then" he replied.

After the conversation they dug in and began eating the wonderful meal Jacob had made. He smiled inwardly at everyone's delight.

"Oh, this is delicious" said Bastion.

"Yea, I can't wait til the next meal" said Logan.

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to shovel their mouths full of food leaving absolutely no leftovers.

With their bellies full, they helped Jacob clear the table.

"Please let me do this. You guys just go enjoy your day" he pleaded with them.

They looked at him confused.

"Jacob, this is a big castle, all we want to do is help" said Lykin.

"I understand but allow me to do what you guys hired me to do please. I feel useful when I can do what I was hired to do. If you help me then I fell like I've become useless to you guys" he replied.

They all exchanged looks.

"We are sorry that we made you feel that way" said Ayame, "please dont hesitate to ask us for help if you start to feel overwhelmed."

"I won't" he replied.

They all left him to his work and went off to do their own things.

Harley went upstairs to her room and closed the door behind her. She walked over to her desk and opened up her journal to write.

Dear Journal,

Meeting Jacob, Strephen, Bastion, and Logan was amazing. They are so nice and awesome in general.

Oh, but, Strephen is so hot. I get butterflies in my stomach when he's near me. I think it's just me though.

Anyways, this is an unusual entry for me because I have poem for you rather than a little catch up of my day. So here goes.

Hold Back Those Tears

Dear child hold back those tears

For I am always here

I'm with our savior, so please don't cry

I made a promise, I didn't mean to lie

Dear child hold back those tears

For you have nothing to fear

I'm in a better place above

With our savior and angels of love

Dear child hold back those tears

For I am your Father and always here

I left in a hurry with no tears to cry

Dear child hold back those tears

Please don't have any fear

I'll never get burnt

Dear child hold back those tears

For I'll always be here

Look deep into your heart

And you'll see that I'll never part

Dear child hold back those tears

For our savior will be here

Hold out to him your hands

This he'll take and mend

Dear child hold back those tears

I'm your Father, no more fear

Dear child hold back those tears

Look in your heart and I'll be there

No more fear, sorrow, or pain

Don't let this go to shame

Dear child hold back those tears

I'll always be there

I didn't mean to leave

For it was you I decieved

Dear child hold back those tears

She closed her journal as she heard a knock on her door. She got up and walked over to her door opening it. There stood Strephen.

"May I come in" he asked.

She was lost for words as she nodded and stepped to the side letting him in.

"Beautiful room, love what you've done with it' he said.

She smiled as she was still trying to find the words to say. She couldn't understand why she was so tongue tied around him all of a sudden.

"Why are you so silent" he asked, "you always seem to have something to say when we are all together."

There was her answer. She was always talkative when everyone was around but it's just him alone in her room and now she feels completely stupid.

She opened her mouth to say something but still nothing came out.

"Ah, I get it. I thought it felt like you liked me and now I'm here with you alone in your bedroom and you are completely lost for words" he said.

She nodded.

He smiled and all she could think about was "oh what a beautiful smile" but she kicks herself mentally for not being able to talk to him.

"Hmm, well how do we get you to talk" he said as he slid his fingers across her desk stopping on her journal.

He picked up her journal and looked at her as she came over and grabbed the journal but he held on to it tightly as he moved closer to her. The palm of his hand grazing her fingers as they both held firmly to the journal.

She took in a breath "it's personal, please let go" she said in a low voice.

He smiled and let go of the journal.

"See, I got you to talk" he said.

She looked up at him noticing how close they were to each as she said in a low voice "I'm sorry, I don't understand why grabbing my journal made me remember words."

"It's because you like me. And because you like me and the thought of being alone in the same room with made you lose all thoughts of words. Am I right" he said.

She blushes and turns away walking over to her bookshelf and putting her journal away. Turning back around and leaning against her bookshelf she said "what makes you think I like you."

"Well, let's see. When everyone was talking last night, you were focused on only me. When I sat down beside you at breakfast and slightly grazed tour arm with mine, you slightly shivered, which I noticed. When you answered your door, your eyes lit up at seeing me but you were lost for words. And when I grabbed your book, I'm assuming a diary, you came over and grabbed it and my palm grazed your fingers and you breathed in. Am I wrong about any of this" he said walking closer to her.

"It's a journal and I...." she trailed off as he closed the distance and stood very close to her once again.

"I...." she trailed off again.

"Are you trying to say you don't know" he asked as he rubbed his left hand down her right arm.

She shivered from his touch as she closed her eyes and said "you're not wrong, I do like you" she breathed in as she felt hot.

She opened her eyes once the feeling stopped and looked up at him peering into his gorgeous red eyes.

His left hand against the bookshelf, he leaned in closer to her, his nose just barely touching hers.

His warm breath grazing her lips as he asked her "was it love at first sight."

She nearly melted at his words, feeling his warm breath against her lips "was it love at first sight for you" she asked in return.

"Mm, I asked first" he said as he closed the gap, his nose touching hers as his right hand on her waist.

She breathed out on his lips as his hand rest on her waist. Her legs feeling like jello, she felt like she was going to collapse. She couldn't find the words to answer his question but he was so damn close to her that she just kissed him.

He felt her lips on his as he placed his left hand on her waist and kissed her back leaning into her body against the bookshelf.

She smiled feeling him kiss her back as she deepened the kiss placing her hands on his chest.

He felt her hands on his chest and deepen the kiss as he parted her lips with his tongue. His tongue wrapped around hers as they fought for dominance she caressed her tongue against his but let him win the tongue war.

They kissed as he picked her up by her waist, she wrapped her legs around his waist and he walked them over to the chair where he sat down with her on my lap.

She straddled him and he deepened the kiss more passionately, intoxicated by her taste.

She moved against him with each tongue wrestling kiss and he could feel his pants becoming tighter.

He pulled away from the kiss and took in a deep breath.

"I want to do so much more, but I also want to get to know more about you and vice versa" he said panting trying to get his member to go away.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, panting, she breathed in and adjusted herself as she felt his buldge and smiled.

"I want to get to know you more as well but I really want to keep kissing you" she said as she moved her body slightly forward causing his member to grow more.

He smiled as she did so, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear, he looked into her eyes as he put his hands on her waist and moved her closer on him.

"What" she asked looking into his eyes as she felt him move her closer to him, so she wiggled slightly against him.

Her movement caused him to groan as his pants were getting really tight.

Hearing him groan was music to her hears as she felt his member growing.

She smiled as she leaned in kissing him deeply and passionately, their tongues colliding as she lets him take charge.

Rubbing her body against his with each thrust of their tongues colliding as he groans more upon each kiss.

She thinks to herself " I really want to get to know him more but this just feels so good."

Her arms tighten around his neck as their tongues collide against each other. Her body thrusting against his as he moves her with his hands.

She can feel his member ready to break free as she moans on his lips.

She's driving him wild. The more she moves against him the tighter his pants become but every time she moved against him caused him to grab her by the waist and move against him more.

Her moan on his lips made him shiver as he deepened the kiss more.

He thought to himself "damn I want to ravish her but I'm trying so hard to be polite but every time she thrusts her body into mine is making it hard for me not to rip her clothes off and throw her on the bed and make sweet passionate love to her."

She placed her hands slightly on his neck and face, deepening the kiss. Her tongue colliding against his. Moving her body back and forth against his.

He feels dampness around his member as he supports her with his left hand, his right hand traces around her waist down her thigh causing her to move into him more.

He pulls back from the kiss looking at her as he traces his fingers between her thighs.

She bites her bottom lip as he grazes his fingers against her wet moist panties causing her to moan from slight touch.

He smiled "I am fighting my urges so hard" he says breathing out "but you are making it so hard to keep fighting" as he slides his fingers through side of her panties and rubs them against her c**t.

"Should we stop and compose ourselves" he asked.

She closed her eyes and took in deep breath letting it out as he rubbed his fingers against her c**t.

She bit her bottom lip and couldn't control herself as she moved against his fingers.

"Please, don't stop" she said panting.

He smiled and relished in her pleasure as he removed his fingers picking her up by the waist and laying her on the bed.

He wanted to please her and not stop like she asked him.

He leaned down and kissed her lips, then her neck, down to her exposed stomach, as he slipped off her panties, he moved and kissed her inner thigh as his tongue grazed her c**t causing her to left herself up slightly. He let his tongue work magic around her p***y as he slipped his finger inside her moving in and out as his tongue swirled around her c**t causing her to maon. He put in another finger as he pulled his fingers in and out flicking his tongue across her c**t. Moving his fingers in and out a bit faster as he sucks in her c**t causing her to squirm and scream out in pleasure as she releases her sweet juices in his mouth.

He kisses her inner thigh as removes his wet finger from inside her p***y, moving up her body placing sweet kisses along her exposed stomach, then her neck, placing a kiss on her lips.

He laid on top of her with arms against the bed so as not to crush her as he looked down into her eyes.

She smiled up at him as she slightly bit her bottom lip.

"So then, I suppose both of our questions have been answered" she said.

"I believe so" he replied.

"I really do want more" she said.

"I do too but I think we should take it slow. Plus, I feel that I should ask your brother if I can date, since he is the man of the family" he replied.

"If you want to do it that way then you should have a talk with him but I honestly don't think that necessary" she said.

"It's not necessary but I feel it's appropriate to ask his permission to be with his sister" he replied.

"So then, until you talk to him we can't do this anymore" she asked.

"For now" he replied, "but I will talk to him later about being with you."

"And in the mean time, what do we do about our feelings for one another" she asked.

"Try really hard to fight the urge not to jump each other's bones before the day is over and pray we can get your brother alone as soon as possible to talk with him" he replied.

"Hmm, do you think you can control yourself in the mean time" she asked biting her lower lip.

"God, I hope so, as long as you don't do that" he said placing his finger on her lips.

She licked his finger and pulled him towards her kissing his lips.

"I don't know what you're talking about" she played innocent.

He kissed her lips passionately as he leaned up.

"Mm, you are going to be trouble before I can talk to your brother" he said playfully.

He crawled of the bed and adjusted himself accordingly.

"Let's go find your brother" he said as she played like she couldn't get out of the bed putting her hand out for him to grab.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him "come on" he said.

"Let me put my panties on first" she said.

He blushed when she said that as she bent over to grab her panties and put them back on.

They made their way down the stairs and looked around.

"Are you guys looking for someone" asked Jacob.

"Yes, do you know where my brother is" asked Harley.

"Last I saw him he was sitting in he gazebo painting" he replied "by the way, you two missed lunch."

They smiled and apologized and walked outside to the gazebo where Lykin was last seen.

They got to the gazebo but Bastion, Logan, and Ayame were sitting there talking and laughing.

"Oh, hi guys" said Ayame "we missed you at lunch."

"Hey, yea sorry about that, we got lost in conversation" said Strephen.

"Oh, is that what they call it now a days" said Logan.

Strephen and Harley exchanged looks "we dont know what you're talking about."

"Sure you don't" teased Bastion.

"Harley sweety, I love you, you're my sister but honey your rooms not sound proof" said Ayame.

Harley blushed as Strephen said "you guys heard us all the way down here."

"Oh no no no, Ayame wanted to show us her collection of grimores and well we didn't even make it to her room when we heard you guys" said Logan.

"Oh God please say Lykin didn't hear us" said Harley looking three shades of red now.

"Oh of course not, he's in the wild flowers painting, he took his lunch here and then went over there when he was done painting here" said Bastion, "are you thinking of asking his permission to sate his twin, Strephen, after you to just had sex."

"We didn't have s*x, it was four play. We want his permission to date for anything else to happen. Besides, I went to talk to Harley about my feelings for her and....." Strephen trailed off.

"And when he was talking to me asking me questions I couldn't find the words but found his lips instead which I kind of answered his question about my feelings for him" said Harley.

"Oh, you two are adorable. We'll come with you...just in case Lykin wants to kill you" said Ayame.

They walked over to the wild flowers exchanging looks as they stopped beside Lykin.

Harley clears her throat and says "brother, can we talk to you."

He looks up at everyone and puts his paint brush down.

"What is it" he asked.

"Brother" said Harley as she grabbed Strephens hand, "we wanted to ask your permission to date each other."

"Actually, I told Harley I wanted your permission to date her since she's your sister and you are the man of the house or castle" replied Strephen.

"Do you to actually love each other" he asked.

They looked at each other in adoration and said "yes we do."

"Then who am I to stand in the way of love" he said.

"So does that mean you give your blessing for them to date" asked Ayame.

He looked at everyone and said "yes dear sister I give my blessing for you two to date, but, Mark my word Strephen, if you hurt my sister in any way I will kill you, understood."

"Yes, of course, I understand" said Strephen.

Everyone went about their business. Lykin continued painting. Everyone else went to the gazebo, talked and laughed til their hearts content.

"Strephen, seriously, don't hurt my sister in anyway" said Ayame.

"I promise I won't hurt her in any fashion. I really really like her a lot" Strephen said.

"Just like" said Logan.

"Dude, it was love at first sight. Give us time to say we love each other" Strephen said defensively.

"Calm down lover boy it was just a joke" said Bastion.

"It's ok guys. I want to be able to say I love you to him before we can actually tell people its love and not just like" said Harley.

"Aww, I hope I can find this one day" said Ayame.

"Don't worry sister, I believe the perfect man is out there and waiting for you to come and rescue him" said Harley.

Ayame swats at Harley making her laugh.

The sun went down and everyone went back inside.

Jacob had the dinner table sat. They went and washed their hands and then grabbed their seats.

After Jacob placed the last tray of food on the table and sat down with them, they all dug in and enjoyed the delicious food he prepared for them.

They all talked around the dinner table for a few hours before they cleaned off the table.

"I will excuse myself for the night and go shower and get some rest for tomorrow" said Jacob.

"Good night Jacob" everyone said in harmony.

Once they heard Jacobs door shut they waited a few and went to the cellar where they each drank a bag of blood, disposed of the empty bag and went back up to the kitchen.

"Well, I'm going to my room to finish my painting" said Lykin.

"Good night" everyone said.

After a while everyone adjourned to their rooms..

Bastion and Logan went to Logan's room and Harley went to Strephen's room.

Harley looked around Strephen's room and noticed his instruments.

"How come we haven't heard you play" she asked.

"I sound proof the room so when I play I wouldn't disturb anyone" he said.

"Sound proof room huh" she said as she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Hey, to my defense, I didn't know you were a screamer" he said as he walked into his wardrobe to chang into sleep wear.

Harley stripped out of all her clothes but her panties and crawled up on the bed leaning on her right side facing the wardrobe. Strephen walked out of the wardrobe in only a pair of night pants looking to where Harley was standing when he went in and saw clothes on the floor. He looked at his bed to Harley's naked body on his bed and smiled.

He walked over to his bed and crawled up on it pulling her legs flat, crawling over her body and holding himself above her.

"I see" he said teasingly as his member grew to seeing her naked body.

He caressed his fingers across her neck and down her body as he leaned in and kissed her lips passionately parting them with his tongue as she parted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. He kissed down her neck and to her breast where sucked on her breast and n*****s paying them both close attention as her legs slide across his body, her feet at his waistline pushing his night pants down as he leaned up from her breast kissing her lips once again as he reached down removing his pants from his body making him completely naked against her. His right hand moved to her waistline as his finger glided under her panties pulling them off of her. Now with their bodies naked and caressed against one another the kiss deepened as her lips parted for his tongue. He slipped his hard member inside her p***y being careful not to hurt her as he slid his member in and out of her.

He could tell with how tight she was that she was still a virgin and he wanted to be gentle with her.

He moved in and out kissing her deeply as she moved with his every motion.

Their bodies were hot and covered in sweat as they picked up speed, him moving in and out of her fast and her thrusting her body against his with every motion.

She bit his bottom lipas she moaned out in pleasure, he smiled as he sucked in her bottom lip groaning.

"Oh god, I'm cumming" she screamed out.

His member become wet as he moved in and out faster before finally cumming inside her.

He laid on her panting as her chest moved up and down and her fingers ran through his hair.

He pulled out and they went to the bathroom to clean themselves up. Her naked body was enticing to him.

She walked out of the bathroom and grabbed a shirt from his wardrobe and crawled into his as she waited for him to come out of the bathroom.

After he finished cleaning himself up, he stepped out of the bathroom and saw her wearing one of his shirts. He smiled and put his night pants back on but he noticed her panties were still sitting where his night pants were. He smiled even more and crawled into bed with her. He kissed lips sweetly and held her close to him. Her face buried in his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair as she traced scars on his chest..

"Strephen" she says.

"Hmm" he replies.

"I think I'm in love with you" she says.

He lifts her face from his chest and kisses her lips "I think I'm in love with you too" he replies.

She smiled and kissed his lips before burying her face back in his chest.

"Good night my love" he said.

"Good night my heart" she said.

They finally drifted off to sleep in each others arms.
