Easter

Cassian

Easter, the second best thing to happen to Spring.

Second only to Starfall. Not everyone shares my views on Easter, though, Mor and Elain do. The rest are more relunctant.

Still, we have an annual tradition to go on an egg hunt around Velaris.

"Its Easter!" I shout at Nesta and she groans "go back to bed Cassian, its too early". I scoff.

"Number one, i am flattered you think im so good in bed. Number two, if we want to stand a chance at winning we need to go now - i bet Mor and Az are already out!"

She groans again and mutters "insufferable illyrian bastard", and I laugh. "okay seriously Nesta get up, now." She smirks and replies "and if i refuse?", its my turn to smirk "if you refuse you'll pay for it tonight". She groans again but reluctantly slides out of bed.

Mor

"Az! Hurry, wake up! Its Easter and we need to beat Cassian!" Last year he beat us by one egg, a single egg, and he hasnt let it go since.

I pounce on Az, careful of his wings, and he shoots upright. I laugh "i love you Az", he pulls me to him and whispers in my ear "i love you too Mor". I smile at him, its rare that he says those words but when he does it feels like im on fire as my blood pumps fast through my veins.

He knows what affect those words, out of his beautiful mouth, have on me. He pulls me closer and kisses me, I kiss him back, a slow gentle kiss before pulling back "okay, Az we cannot be late because of this again! Tonight, okay?" He pouts but nods his head.

Rhys

I awake to a smiling Feyre, my Feyre. I truly love her. She has positioned herself so only her arms hold her above me. "Do you enjoy watching me sleep Feyre darling?" I ask playfully, she replies with a good-natured "prick" and I chuckle. The temptation to knock her arms from under her rises but I push down the urge.

Her beautiful lips then form the words "it's Easter" and I groan before saying "well, we deserve this then, considering what's to come" she looks confused but before she has chance to ask what I mean I knock her arms and she lands on my naked torso, I flip us so I am on top and start to caress the nape of her neck. She sighs, and pulls me closer before saying "you're still gentle Rhys you know, and you take far too long" I remember what I said decades ago and say "you missed out the part about me having you moaning". Her answer is another kiss, more persistent now.

I allow her hands to roam below my torso as I, almost frantically, start to untie her nightgown. My fingers stroke her breast and I lean in for another kiss but a rap on the door has us both darting for the nearest clothes we can find.

Cassian

I knock on my High Lord and Lady's door, intent on demanding them to come down so we can all start egg hunting, I give them a moment just in case. When I step into the room I find the sheets crumpled and Rhys in his boxers, with Feyre also in another set of Rhys' boxers and a shirt of his.

"Oops" I start, "clearly I have intruded, however I assure you I have done so for good reason." I pause, thinking of a good way to play this out without loosing a limb "there is a minor emergency occurring downstairs". At the word emergency I see Rhys' instincts kick in as he runs down the stairs of the House. I look back at Feyre, who was smirking and gave me a look before saying "you're so dead when he realises your emergency is us starting the egg hunt".

Mor

The High Lord Of the Night Court ran down the House stairs in only his boxers and i couldn't hold in my laugh. I could just imagine the scene Cassian made and his small lie to get out early. Az and I were already at the House though so his plan gave neither of us an advantage yet had us both in a fit of giggles.

When he saw us, realisation dawned on his features and he stalked - in a deadly calm - back up the stairs where Cassian was waiting as smirk on his face.

"Did you, Commander, interupt your High Lady and Lord just to start an Easter egg hunt?" his violet eyes challenged Cassian, who still smirked as he replied "when you say interrupted, what exactly do you mean?" Rhys growled and was about to pounce when Feyre stepped into the room sighing and muttering about insufferable, territorial fae males.

At his mate's faux disgust Rhys backed away from Cassian to follow her down the stairs - neither of them yet dressed.

Feyre started the hunt with "We are all gathered here today, because of the minor war currently between Mor and Cassian, that and it is also Easter." Everyone laughed then Rhys declared "so let the Annual Inner Circle Easter Egg Hunt begin!" with feigned enthusiasm and a glare thrown at Cass.

This was going to be easy.

Feyre

After Cassian and Mor had taunted and shoved each other before winnowing, Azriel and Nesta reluctantly following, Rhys quickly pushed me against a wall.

"Should we not be going with them, high lord?" i taunted. He purred "well, high lady darling, i was thinking we could spend our time more...productively". His fingers slipped under the shirt i was wearing before he tore it off.

"What kind of productivity is this then Rhys?" i asked, he thought for a moment before saying "team bonding, we need to learn each other inside-out so we know what each other would do in battle. Now if you will allow me the pleasure i will start with the outside and work my way in". With that statement my body gave in to him and my lips crashed onto his. We held each other for a very long time, it was almost midday when he suggested that be go and "save Amren and Nesta". With a click of his fingers we were both dressed in our casual Night Court attire.

We winnowed to the centre of Velaris and immediately spotted Amren, she was sat in Rita's with a glass of blood and an eye on Cassian and Nesta. She truly was babysitting. We walked towards her and Rhys said "good to see your keeping an eye on them Amren" he only earned a glare that had us to back off, we turned to see Cassian rummaging through some bushes with Nesta shouting obscenities to him. When we got close enough I could make out Cass saying "they could be anywhere Nesta and we have to beat Mor, it would be really helpful if you just dug around a bit sweetheart" he used the nickname as weapon and Nesta turned red with fury as she scooped up some damp soil and slowly, deliberately dumped it on Cassian's head before rubbing it in. He let out a low growl and his face was pure shock. Nesta was about to get up and leave when he threw a mud ball at her, hitting her thigh.

We just watched as they threw mud at each other, taunting each other and shouting - it was hard not to laugh when Cassian threw mud between her breasts so that it dripped down beneath her casual dress. She slowly looked up and Cassian had the sense to look scared and murmur apologies whilst she stalked towards him, slowly so slowly and precise like a predator about to make a kill. "You shouldn't have done that sweetheart, and you are soon going to learn why".

Nesta

I was furious, he had deliberately thrown that mud so it would drip down into my dress. I walked towards him then pinned him to a wall. He let out a grunt at my strength but didn't dare struggle against my grip, he knew the consequences. I ripped his shirt off of him to reveal that beautifully endearing muscled chest of his then ripped off the fighting pants he always wore. It must have looked hilarious to a passer-by, me pinning a general, in only his boxers and shoes, to a wall. I cackled as I scooped a considerable amount of the mud from the ground and smeared it on his chest before moving down and slapping it on his legs. "Well, sweetheart if you wanted to touch me that much you could have at least waited until we got to the more private part of town" and he mustered a smirk that had me reeling so I got another handful of the mud and stuck it down his boxers.

Laughter sounded from behind as he moaned that it was cold and unhealthy and he pawed at it, looking completely voulnerable and childish.

I joined in the laughter and he slowly looked up at me, eyes filled with awe as if he'd never heard the sound before. Then it occurred to me that maybe he hadn't.

Cassian

I stared at her, she had a beautiful laugh that I wish I heard more often, she stared back.

I slowly stood upright as she released her grip on me then quickly grabbed her by the waist and it was her pinned against the wall. Her eyes widened in surprise then became calculated and ever so slightly dilated in anticipation.

I loved that look, it held promise.

I moved my hands the the place between her breasts, where the mudball had hit, and scooped most of it up and onto the ground before slowly licking the remaining dirt away. Nesta's chest was heaving, she was trying to controll her breathing too much. "You know Nes, it really would be easier if you just..let go a bit", I chose my words carefully and her breathing slowed marginally as she purred her response "let go?". Her tone had me abandoning the egg hunt and winnowing us to the town house.

Feyre

I blinked. The scene we had just wittnessed was the most public expression of feeling my sister had ever really displaid to Cassian. I was also surprised Cass would give up his quest to beat Mor so easily.

Rhys seemed just as shocked as he said through the bond your sister has him wrapped around her finger and I replied yes, her middle finger and we both looked at each other and laughed.

I heard Amren sigh from behind us and walked towards her "where's Mor and Az?" I asked in attempt to include her in conversation but she just pointed down the road and sure enough when I looked in that direction I saw a grinning Mor skipping about the streets with Az reluctantly following, a bundle of eggs in his arms.

Azriel

I was walking behind Mor's beautiful feminine figure when she screamed for the 21st time that day and so I grunted and asked "whats wrong Mor?" even though I knew nothing was wrong. She confirmed my suspicions as she triumphantly held up another egg.

"Fantastic, now can we please go home, it seems cass and nesta have." I nodded towards where Cassian and Nesta were moments before and sighed.

Mor pouted a little "just one more.." she pleaded and I was inclined to let her stay and hunt but instead planted a soft kiss upon her forehead and said "we're going home Mor" I kissed down her cheek softly until I found her lips. Mor's eyes widened a little then relaxed "fine" she mumbled and then they too were gone, eggs abandoned on the floor where I had dropped them.

Feyre

Rhys and I stood just mere paces from where Mor and Az had been moment ago. I looked to Rhys and sighed, he had a huge grin on his face as he asked "home my darling?". I playfully tugged him close, as if I were about to kiss him then sharply flicked his ear so it would sting a little "prick" I replied and then we too were gone.

Amren

"Blind love-driven idiots."

Varian

I spotted Amren sat at a table and stalked up behind her, careful not to make a sound, she muttered something under her breath but then I pounced. She jolted in surprise as my hands slipped around her waist and I lifted her out of the chair. "Varian" she hissed my name in a way that made me feel alive and I kissed her firmly, her eyes widened once again but she did not pull away.

I lowered us onto the table she had been sat at, knocking over her cup of blood. She growled a little but hooked her legs around my waist and tugged me closer.

I vaguely noticed that everyone else in the building had found somewhere else to be as my hands clasped her ass and squeezed playfully, she halfheartedly glared at me and fumbled with my belt buckle. In a few minutes both of our clothes were discarded in the restaurant floor.

Hope you enjoyed that! I need prompts for the next one so either review or pm me! xX
