B/N Hey guys, I have started writing again :D I have been busy at University so I'm sorry about the lull. I started this a couple of months ago but have now felt some inspiration since the season final. That means my story will contain spoilers so please watch the season final before later chapters.
Bit of a slow lead into in the beginning but it will get better I promise :)
Chapter 1
Jenny sat in a firm armchair in the corner of the bedroom, gently pulling at the loose brown threads that had sprouted out of its seams. The air was chilled and the room was dim; the light not yet hitting the dull colored curtains. She let herself slouch gently into the material of the chair, her back cracking with barely audible pops. Letting herself linger in this position, her eyes focused on the bed. Through the darkness Vastra's shadowy figure could be made out under the thick blankets.
A soft smile slowly spread across Jenny's face. This was one of her favorite pastimes. Jenny could see the relaxed features of Vastra's face. Usually they were hardened like her personality. This was the only time that Jenny got to see Vastra somewhat vulnerable.
It was the anniversary of their marriage. A day that was special to Jenny but not so important to Vastra. In the past Vastra had labeled it a "mammal thing" as if the discrimination was justified. Jenny had to remind her that she was now sharing her life with a mammal; therefore it was more than just a "mammal thing". Jenny smirked reminiscing the moment. Challenging Vastra was also one of her favorite pastimes. It allowed the couple to see eye to eye on situations and resolve conflict within their relationship.
A rustle from within the blankets brought Jenny back into reality. 'Come back to bed… I know you're over there.'
Jenny let out a small laugh; Vastra was barely coherent with the sleep layering her voice. Jenny stood and walked back over to the bedside. Vastra had buried her head underneath the blankets in an attempt to keep her head warm. Jenny proceeded as per Vastra's request and stood at Vastra's bedside. "Ya know Ma'am, you shou' really get up. It's past eight an' I'm sure you 'ave some work to do."
"But you left me and now I'm cold." Vastra opened one of her eyes. The glare was steely.
"I know, but I made you breakfast." Jenny brushed her fingers over Vastra's cheek, the scales feeling rough under her skin. She moved over to the curtains and opened them briskly causing Vastra to let out a groan.
"A little bit of warning next time, my dear. What kind of maid are you?" Vastra sat up and shielded her eyes with her hands. Jenny turned, the light from outside had brightened the room. The blanket had slumped around Vastra's lap exposing her naked chest to the sunlight. Jenny moved to collect the Silurian's clothes that had been strewn around the room.
"We both know that I 'aven't been your maid for a while, Ma'am." She said, gently placing the dress and undergarments at the foot of the bed.
"I do suppose you are right. However what were you saying about breakfast?"
The Silurian slipped the remaining covers off and stood up out of bed. Her long bare legs flexed as Vastra stretched.
"Well are you just going to stand and stare Jenny?"
"Would if I could, Ma'am." Jenny left for the kitchen to get Vastra's breakfast.
Vastra rubbed the remaining sleep from her eyes. "Damn it Jenny." She muttered under her breath whilst slipping quickly back into her garments.
"Ma'am! It's ready!"
Vastra moved steadily towards the kitchen. The strong scent of bloodied meat filled her nostrils even from far away. She reached Jenny, wrapping her arms around her waist. The radiant heat from her body warmed Vastra's as they embraced. "So what's this then my love?" The low sensual murmur, almost at a growl that sent chills through Jenny's spine.
"It… It's ya favourite… Ma'am." Jenny had blushed a deep red, the extra blood flow automatically apparent to Vastra.
"Mmm, you do know how to please me. Don't you?" Again deep into Jenny's ear.
"Ma'am, if you're not careful I'll 'ave to rip those clothes off like last nigh'" Jenny replied playfully.
"Yes… we wouldn't want that. So what is the occasion? I assume as it's not what I normally receive that today is different?"
Jenny was expecting this.
"Ma'am, today is the day I went from just bein' your maid, to somethin a lot more special."
"Ah yes it has come around again hasn't it? Thank you Jenny, but you know how I am with days like this." Vastra wished she could show the same interest.
"S'alright but I have one more surprise for ya'" Jenny grinned a cheeky grin. "Cover your eyes!"
Vastra sighed, Jenny was so excited Vastra couldn't let her down. She obliged, hands over her eyes she let Jenny lead her into the drawing room.
"Okay, now 'old on a moment, Ma'am." Vastra felt Jenny leave her side. She heard the sounds of Jenny dragging something and the slight clanking of metal.
"Jenny, what are you doing?" Vastra was concerned.
"Alrigh, you can look."
Vastra took away her hands stunned.
A/N Review please, it'd be nice to know what you think :)
