"So, captain, why are we heading back to Liones?" Diane questioned as she walked alongside Mama Hawk across the countryside. Meliodas sat on the roof of the Boar Hat Tavern, cleaning his sacred treasure in the peaceful early morning atmosphere.
"I thought I told you?" Meliodas laughed lightly.
"To have your wedding with Elizabeth? But why? Aren't you two already mates?" Diane asked in mild confusion. "I thought that was pretty much the same thing."
"It is. But humans don't see it that way." the captain told her as he inspected his blade with a keen eye. "To most humans, our union isn't official. Besides, Elizabeth's always wanted a wedding. And I want to see her in a sexy wedding dress so..."
"Sheesh, you're mates now and you're still so lewd about her."
"You thought I'd stop just cause we mated?" Meliodas laughed at that, sheathing his sword and leaning back against the roof with a grin. "I'll never get tired of being her pervert."
"Che, well at least you admit it." Diane huffed, hiding a giggle. She had to admit, Meliodas and Elizabeth made an incredibly cute couple, and they were good for each other. She didn't understand why they needed to have a wedding, but she really didn't understand humans in general sometimes. Still, the idea of being a bridesmaid for Elizabeth was thrilling, and she was getting more excited the closer they got to Liones.
"Father! I've missed you!" Elizabeth hurried into her father's arms as the sins arrived in the castle. The King had come to greet them personally, seeing as not only his daughter was with them but he also greatly respected the sins.
"Elizabeth, I'm so happy that you look well. You all, as well, Seven Deadly Sins." the king smiled happily at everyone as he embraced his youngest daughter. "Please, I would be honored if everyone would join us for dinner."
"Of course, your majesty." Meliodas grinned with his arms behind his head in a casual manner. Ban just grinned and mentioned something about booze. King's eyebrow twitched slightly at their lack of respect but he ignored it in favor of giving the other King a polite bow. Diane gave her best curtsy in her new pink dress, and Merlin gave a respectful bow.
"Oh, please, no need to be so formal." The King chuckled as Elizabeth went to hug her sisters happily. "We are practically family, after all. Now please, follow me. I'm sure you're all hungry."
Three hours and many drinks later found the king escorting Elizabeth and Meliodas to their rooms for the night. "You sure know how to throw a great welcome party, your highness. Best one I've been to in a long time." Meliodas grinned, his hand finding rest on Elizabeth's perky rear as she walked. She blushed lightly but gave a small smile at his groping.
"Please get your hands off my daughter." The king blanched at the sin's boldness. "You aren't even married yet."
"Yessir." Meliodas gave a chuckle, promptly removing his hand after a quick squeeze. He grinned at the irony. The poor king didn't know that his daughter was much closer to her fiance than he thought. He didn't even know they were mated. Or that she was pregnant. Meliodas found it funny to watch the king's reactions to how he acted around his daughter.
"Anyhow," the king cleared his throat, dismissing the inappropriate behavior with practiced ease. "Here are your rooms. Meliodas, your room is on the left. Elizabeth, you know which one is yours."
"Aw, separate rooms?" Meliodas pouted whilst Elizabeth gave a small giggle.
"Yes, separate rooms until you are married. That's an order." The king said firmly with the authority of a protective father. "Elizabeth, Margaret will be by in the morning to go over wedding details with you, and then bring both of you to breakfast. I will see you both then. Sleep well." He kissed Elizabeth's forehead and gave a small nod to Meliodas before walking off to head to his own room. Meliodas waited until the king was out of sight before he grinned wickedly at Elizabeth.
"Shall we, my princess?" his waggling eyebrows gave away his intentions and Elizabeth blush with a small giggle. She was about to tell him it would be best to follow her father's rules. It was just for three nights, after all. But then she felt his hand sensually squeezing her rear, his fingers 'accidentally' slipping between her legs to graze against her core, and all thoughts of being 'proper' flew out the window as she felt her body instinctively heat up at her mate's touch. There was no way she was going to say no now.
Meliodas grinned as she reacted the way he knew she would and he scooped her up, carrying her into her room and making sure that nobody saw them go in there together. Royal protocol and an order from the king weren't going to keep Meliodas from his mate anytime soon. As soon as the door shut behind them they were locked. Meliodas took in his mate's room with a grin. Pink everywhere. It was cute, but right now he didn't want the cute Elizabeth. He wanted the hot, sexy, lust-filled Elizabeth that only he got to see.
He gently tossed his pregnant fiancee down onto her plush bed, grinning at her giggle as she bounced lightly. She looked up at him and gave him a sexy grin as she slowly pulled her shirt off over her head. She heard her mate's pleased growl before he pounced on her. Looking up at him, she smiled happily at seeing his eyes a deep onyx shade. It always thrilled her when she managed to coax out this side of him. He grinned down at her in that way that should terrify her; he looked pretty evil like this, after all; but it only aroused her, and he knew it.
"My mate is a little tease." he growled in that sensual gravelly voice of his, with that cruel grin on his face. "Go on, mate, finish what you started." Elizabeth smiled and slowly slid her skirt down her legs, kicking off her shoes and stocking in the process. It was a bit difficult with her mate leaning over her but, feeling his eyes watching her every move, it was setting her skin on fire all the same. She reached under her and unclasped her bra while he watched with eager, hungry eyes. She halfway expected him to attack once her breasts were exposed to his sight, but he managed to hold himself back until she hooked her thumbs in her panties and shimmied them off. That's when he attacked, kissing her with a ferocity that would have startled her if she wasn't already used to this side of him.
Elizabeth let out a moan as he attacked her neck with hot kisses and nips. She pulled on his shirt, wanting to feel his skin against hers, but Meliodas grabbed her wrists and easily pinned them to the bed. His kissing moved lower, down her collar bone and straight to her breasts. She panted with need as he pulled a nipple into his mouth with a groan, sucking on her like a child. And then he bit her roughly, and she cried out in painful pleasure.
"Please!" she mewled as he gave the same rough treatment to her other breast. She struggled against his hands. She wanted to touch him, wanted to pull his clothes off and feel his skin. He nipped at her soft breast in a reprimand.
"Ah-ah. It's my turn to tease." he grinned up at her as she squirmed against him. He returned to kissing and nipping a trail down her stomach, stopping to pay homage to her belly button with his tongue. Elizabeth panted and moaned as he all but tortured her with his mouth, slowly but surely moving lower and lower. Just when he was about to reach the place she wanted him, he sat up. Much to her dismay. The evil grin on his face was just that, now. Evil.
"No... fair..." Elizabeth panted with need as she stared up into his eyes. He just chuckled and set about removing his clothes... as slowly as he could. All the while Elizabeth was squirming on the bed, filled with need. She was tempted into touching herself but the instant her hands left the bed where he'd placed them, Meliodas grabbed them and put them back. He gave a sharp bite to her ear and whispered out a warning not to move, or he would punish her. She shivered at this and complied, despite her desire to disobey. She watched as Meliodas slowly stripped down until he was bare before her. Her eyes landed on what she wanted most, and she all but moaned at how hard and ready he already was. "I didn't... tease you nearly this much..." Elizabeth complained when he did nothing but stare down at her after removing his clothes. He just chuckled darkly.
"No. You didn't. But you are so fun to tease." he chuckled, crawling back up her body slowly. He nipped at her lip but pulled away when she tried to kiss him fully. She tried to follow him but he easily kept her pinned to the bed, giving her a sadistic grin when she pouted so cutely for him. "Disobedient little mate, I have. I did tell you not to move. Now you're going to have to be punished." Elizabeth shivered at the dangerous tone in his voice, but not from fear. Goddesses, she knew whatever he had planned as a punishment for her would only leave her more desperate to mate than before.
She was proven right when Meliodas started biting a path back down to her weeping core, his teeth leaving little red welts over her skin. Despite the stinging from his bites, she let out a moan as his mouth sent fire straight to her core. And then he was right there, right where she wanted him the most. He grinned up at her, his hot breath ghosting against her core and sending shivers up her spine. She visibly shuddered as she locked eyes with him. And then he was kissing along her thigh and she almost whined at her loss. He stopped his kissing at her knee, hooking the appendage over his shoulder and therefore causing her legs to spread. He stared down at her, looking straight at her core as if debating going back there. She could practically feel his eyes right where she wanted him, the phantom sensations making her moan out her need. And then he went back to kissing and the phantom sensations stopped. This time she openly cried out her loss.
"Meliodas please..." she cried, her breathing ragged and her eyes full of desperation and need. He just grinned and ignored her, focusing on kissing his way down her other thigh. He stopped halfway down and stared at her weeping core again, and Elizabeth shuddered with a garbled moan as the phantom sensations returned. Goddesses, the power of suggestion on a human mind... "Please! I can't... I can't take anymore! Please, mate!" Elizabeth cried when her mate went back to kissing her thigh. He smirked at her begging, but continued making love to her thigh with his mouth. He suddenly paused and locked eyes with her, and she watched as he pressed one of his fangs against her flesh. Just enough to break the skin. They both watched a single drop of blood well up to the surface, and then slowly roll down her thigh. Her eyes followed the blood until it disappeared from her line of vision, but she felt it trickle down very close to her core.
Meliodas licked his lips and then he followed the trail of blood, licking her leg clean as he moved closer and closer to the place she so desperately needed him. And then he was there, and it wasn't the blood he was licking at now. A strangled cry came from Elizabeth as she got what she desperately wanted. Meliodas groaned at the taste of his mate as he set about pleasuring her. Punishment time was over. Now all he wanted was to hear his beautiful mate scream for him. With how much he wound her up, it was no surprise when she came quickly for him, calling out his name to the heavens. He decided that was enough teasing for one night, and he was positively throbbing with the need to be buried in his mate. With a possessive growl he stalked back up her body and claimed her lips, letting her taste herself on his lips. She moaned and he could tell she wanted to wrap her arms around him. But, after his teasing, she dared not move unless he told her to. He grinned at this. Such an obedient mate.
Elizabeth moaned openly as Meliodas passionately attacked her neck with hot kisses and bites, his hands constantly moving on her body, sending fire through her veins. She felt him grab her elbows and gently motion for her to move her arms. Thankful for the permission to move, she threw her arms around his shoulders, trailing her hands over his taught muscles there and then down his strong arms. She felt his hands hook under her knees and pull her legs up and apart as his mouth paid special attention to her mating mark. Elizabeth dragged her nails down his chest before letting out a cry as he suddenly filled her. Goddesses, he was fast; she didn't even see him move.
The mates both let out a moan of bliss as they were connected. Meliodas buried his face in her neck, taking in the spicy sweet scent of his mate and unborn child. His darkness came out further. He'd been in control until now, just barely, but all that control was gone now. With a low growl he set a fast pace, holding back enough strength to keep from harming his unborn child within her. Elizabeth's cries of bliss soon filled the air around his growling and grunting.
"Melio-ooohhh!" Elizabeth trailed off as she came hard around him. He grunted as she clamped down around him, forcing him into his own release. His control came back with his release and he stared down into his mate's eyes, grinning broadly as she stared at him dazedly. This. This was the look he wanted to see on her face every day. She trembled with the aftershocks of her pleasure, and his name escaped her lips in a sinfully sweet moan. Meliodas gave a slow roll of his hips, watching as she closed her eyes in bliss.
"Elizabeth." he breathed, pressing his forehead against hers. He couldn't stop the possessive feeling that overcame him, as he though about their wedding in less than three days. "Mine. My mate. And soon... my wife." And she was. And she would be for eternity. He would not lose her; he refused to live without her. And the weight of his curse felt a thousand times heavier in that moment.
He was determined now. He would either find some way to make his mate immortal like he was... or find some way to get rid of his curse... and die with her when the time came.
