A/N: this story is dedicated to my dear Sumatranfox and his love of strawberries.
Scabior loved the delicious treats his wife made for him. She baked blackberry bread using fruit from her garden, she made creamy potato soup with garlic and herbs, and rice pudding with sliced apples and cinnamon. But the thing he loved most was strawberries.
Whenever Draconius brought home a basket of fresh strawberries, Scabior was the first to help himself to a whole bowl full of the sweet, delicious fruit. Sometimes he would eat two bowls of strawberries, reclining on the couch with the bowl of strawberries on his lap, happily munching away on his favorite treat.
Eventually Draconius decided to add a strawberry patch to her garden in the back yard. Scabior was delighted when he saw his wife bringing home strawberry plants from the store, and together the family of three set to work planting the strawberries in the garden.
They chose a sunny spot near the house where the strawberries would have plenty of room to grow and flourish. Melody helped her parents plant the strawberries, but after a while she got bored and started playing in the dirt. Scabior was no help, as he encouraged his daughter by teaching her how to make mud pies.
One thing lead to another, and after Melody tried playfully flinging a handful of mud at father, only to end up hitting her mother in the face, all three of them went inside laughing and covered from head to toe in mud.
Before long the strawberry plants began to grow, helped along by a few simple charms Draconius cast on them. And when summer arrived, Scabior was often seen sitting in the garden eating as many strawberries as he could hold.
It wasnt long until realized the benefits of having his own personal strawberry patch. He was sitting at the kitchen table one evening with a bowl of strawberries smothered in cream when an idea came to him.
"Pet," he called out, standing up and heading towards the stairs. He walked into the bedroom, where his wife was sitting in bed reading a book. "Look wha I've got, sweet'eart," he said, grinning as he held up the bowl of strawberries and cream.
Draconius looked at him with interest, setting her book aside as he sat down beside her on the bed. He grasped one of the strawberries by its leafy top, swirling it in the cream before bringing it to her mouth. Her lips parted, allowing her husband to feed her the cream covered strawberry.
Scabior dipped another strawberry in cream, this time leaning forward and kissing her while the sweet taste of strawberries and cream was still fresh on her lips. She'd barely finished chewing and swallowing when his tongue entered her mouth, searching and probing deep inside as he pulled her close.
She gasped when they came apart, his wicked laughter ringing in her ears as he chuckled darkly, a seductive smile on his face as he gazed at her in the flickering candlelight.
"Didn't expect tha, now did you, pet?" he said, brushing the hair out of her face.
She smiled pleasantly once she'd gotten over the shock of what he'd done, then reached for a strawberry and held it up in front of him.
Thinking she was going to feed it to him, Scabior opened his mouth, waiting for her to feed him the cream covered fruit. But instead of feeding him, Draconius wiped the cream off on the tip of his nose and laughed.
Scabior went cross eyed as he looked at the blob of cream on his nose. "Wha did you do tha for?"
"For taking me by surprise, Scabior," she said. "Next time you ought to warn me before shoving your tongue down my throat."
"Careful, pet," Scabior warned. "You keep talking like tha an I'll shove something else down your throat."
"Will you dip it in cream first before you feed it to me?" Draconius asked.
Scabior smiled. "Certainly, love. You can slather as much cream on it as you want while I nibble on your plump, delicious berries."
