When night time came Eddward got the ginger's bath ready but he did it differently; this time he added bubbles to the enormous bath. "Young Master?" he asks peeking into the study only to find that Kevin was fast asleep by his empty plates.
Eddward walks forward and shakes him awake. "Kevin, wake your bath is ready" he coos in the redhead's ear. once the ginger opens his eyes, he smiles. "Come on, I'll meet you there" he says gathering the plates and exiting the room where he handed them off to a maid walking by. Eddward rushes back into the Kevin's bathroom, stripping himself and slipping into the bath, trying to look as sexy as possible for the him.
Kevin had his shirt off by the time he entered the bathroom and his jaw dropped. Seeing Eddward in his bathtub was something that he thought he would never be able to see, yet here he is. "What's all this?"
Eddward blushes and shrugs, leaning against the side, the bubbles hiding him from the ginger. "Did you lock the doors?"
"L-let me go c-check..." Kevin stumbled out quietly but securely checking all the doors to his and Eddward's rooms before returning. "Y-yeah. All locked..." Kevin muttered out before fumbling with his pants.
"Are you alright?" Eddward smirks.
"Yeah, 'course!" Kevin finally got his pants unbuckled and was soon bare. Standing by the tub and not sure what to do, he tried to calm his raging hard on before getting in. Once Kevin was seated in the tub, Eddward wrapped his legs around his waist and his arms around his neck.
"Come here often?" he asks.
"Just when you're here" Kevin smiled as he relished in the feel of Eddward wrapped around him.
Eddward chuckles and takes a wash cloth beginning to rub slow circles on the ginger's body. "Lucky me" he purrs in Kevin's ear.
Kevin leaned his head back and sighed. Eddward had magic hands and Kevin absolutely loved it when Eddward would run them over his body. He ran his own hands along Eddward's long legs, enjoying the feel of them around his waist.
The Raven smiles and kisses his lover's neck lovingly. "I love it when you touch me" he whispers, nipping at his ear lobe.
"I'll touch you all the time if you let me."
"Of course, I will let you" he smiles letting a hand travel over his lover's nipple. Kevin sucked in a breath and let it out with a small moan. He squeezes and rubs the strong legs in front of him, touching as much as he could. Eddward smirks and continues to tease the ginger as he washes him, brushing his hand over Kevin's member and other sensitive parts of his body, winding him up more and more.
Kevin moaned again, rolling his hips. "You better be working me up for a good reason..."
"And if I am not?" he chuckles.
"That would be a mean and you would be grounded" Kevin grinned.
"Grounded?" Eddward chuckles "tell me what does that entail?"
"You'll be grounded to my bed and not be allowed to move while I ravish you for hours."
He smirks against his neck "Well, I think I would rather like that."
"We can always move this to the bedroom."
Eddward bites down on his shoulder "Is that what you would like?"
"I'm up for whatever you have planned, lover."
"You know what those little nicknames do to me..." Eddward groans softly pressing his body against him.
"I know and I love it" Kevin craned his neck to the side and grasped the back of Eddward's head, bringing their lips together.
The butler moans and deepens the kiss for a moment before pulling back. "Let's get out of here" he murmurs, their lips still so close that they brush against each other.
Kevin moans softly again before breaking the kiss and standing up and getting out. He held his hand out to help Eddward out. Fuck getting dry, they'll dry off later! Eddward follows him immediately grabbing his hand. "Take me" he moans pressing his naked body against Kevin's.
"You are something else, ya know that?" he grinned and kissed him greedily, pushing Eddward backwards into the bedroom and causing them to fall on the bed.
He yelps and laughs softly "Kevin! My but you are insatiable!"
"You started it, now ya gotta fix it!" Kevin grinned, biting down on his neck and grinding their cocks together. Eddward lets out a loud moan and clamps a hand over his mouth in the middle of it to muffle the sound.
Kevin smirks. "God, I wish that I could hear you moan without it being muffled." Kevin ran his hands down Eddward's sides and gripped his thighs, pulling them around his waist.
He blushes looking up at him. "I wish you could too..." he says softly before rolling over so he was on top, crashing his lips down on the ginger's.
"When did you get so brazen? I like it..." he husked before thrusting his hips up. Kevin grabbed both of their cocks and stroked them together, moaning at the sensation.
"I think knowing you feel the same way that I do lets me be a bit more bold" he gasps softly rutting against Kevin's cock and hand.
"I just love seeing you completely undone and putty-like in my hands." Kevin released them and reached both hands around to touch and knead Eddward's plump ass. "You gonna ride me tonight?"
"I-if you'd like me to" he whispers biting his lover's bottom lip and pulling back.
"Oh, hell yeah!"
"Will you prepare me then?" he asks. Kevin moaned before lifting two fingers to his mouth, slicking them up and prodding the tight entrance. He easily slid one in and watched the play of emotions on Eddward's face, making him harder. A second was added and Kevin watched as Eddward stroked them again, using the precum for more of a lubricant.
After the second finger, Eddward sits up and brushes the hand away. "I can't wait anymore, I need you" he moans, grabbing Kevin's member and angling it against his hole before sliding down onto him.
Kevin held a pillow over his face as he moaned loudly with a curse. Looking back up at Eddward, he grabs his hips tightly "Ready?"
Eddward pants and nods, using his legs to lift himself up and slam down on him.
"Oh fuck..." Kevin thrust upwards in time with Eddward dropping down, the sound of skin slapping again skin was driving him mad. He gripped Eddward's hips tighter, he was sure Eddward would have bruises later. Eddward throws his head back crying into his hands letting the ginger control their pace. The rough grip should have frightened him after everything he had been through but it was comforting, as though the ginger was doing anything he could to keep Eddward close to himself.
Kevin bent his knees and planted his feet on the mattress to lift his hips better. "You feel so good... god damn..." Kevin moaned before he sat up and started to kiss and nip everything his mouth could reach. He paid special attention to the two nipples, each were bit and sucked until they were red.
Eddward moans and shutters, pushing his hands into the gingers hair pulling at it "Kevin, you have to s-stop!" he whimpers. "E-everything feels s-so fucking good, I don't know how m-much longer I can stay quiet!"
"You're so hot when you cuss" Kevin grunted. "I'm not able to last much longer" he moaned out, feeling that tightness in his groin.
"Good hurry! Much longer and I might scream..." Eddward moans through biting his lip beginning to tighten around the ginger. "Oh God, Kevin… if I cum, I don't know if I'll be able to keep quiet" he pants.
"Kiss me then. Let me swallow your screams" Kevin fused their lips together just as he felt his release crash upon him and he felt Eddward's as he tightened. He moaned into their kiss and pulled Eddward flush against him. Just as he had predicted, Eddward screamed into their kiss, holding onto Kevin for dear life as he cums between them.
Kevin just held Eddward and the tremors rippled through his body. "Be lucky that these walls are pretty sound and noises don't travel real well between them."
He whimpers and pants "I'm sorry I couldn't help it."
"I love hearing you moan, it's incredibly sexy" Kevin grinned, rolling them over to cuddle Eddward close, sliding out of him in the process.
He blushes softly and nuzzles into him giving him a kiss in the process "Hush up and go to sleep" he says embarrassedly. Kevin relaxes back into the pillows and quickly follows Eddward into sleep.
A few weeks pass and everything was running smoothly. The wedding is coming along nicely and the move is being scheduled, Eddward and Marie were very busy with overseeing most of the details but they worked well together. Marie started the rumor mill that her and Eddward were to be wed as well so everyone was doubly happy.
Kevin and Eddward were currently riding up to the Willow, Natalie had sent an urgent message that she needed to talk to them ASAP. "Why are women always dramatic? I swear, if this is something stupid..." Kevin grumbled.
Eddward sighs deeply "I must agree, I have several things that I need to pack for the move. We really do not have time for an outing."
They make it to the Willow to see the girls were already there. Dismounting quickly, Natalie and Marie rush up to them. "Thank God, we have a problem!"
"It better not be anything stupid, Natalie" Kevin whined, noting the scared expression and drying tears.
"I'm pregnant!" Natalie cried out, tears again building in her eyes.
"What?!" Kevin bellowed. "You said your doctor said couldn't get pregnant!"
Eddward's whole world stopped spinning at that point and his emotions left him. "What...?" he asks hollowly.
"I know! The doctor said I wouldn't be able to bare any children but I had him confirm it this morning..."
"Oh well fuck me... god damnit!" Kevin paces.
"We will have to move the wedding up and say it was an early birth" Marie says firmly as Eddward stays silent staring off into space.
"Or push everything back. I understand it's not conventional but I know how much the wedding means to her. Being heavily pregnant or rushing through it would ruin the entire occasion. Let's just wait and see. Tell our parents and see what they suggest" Kevin offered.
"You don't know my father..." Natalie whined, leaning against the tree and sliding down to sit on the ground.
Kevin noticed Eddward being quiet. "Hey, you okay?"
He simply nods "We should go with Marie's suggestion and push up the wedding day. You two are so madly in love you couldn't wait. I can put it together at the end of the month so she isn't showing yet and after that, we hide you both away in the new estate and claim you are 'nesting'" he suggests his head swirling as he mounts his horse again.
"Thank you Eddward! You're the best" Marie praises feeling much better about the situation. "This could really work!" she says, holding Natalie's hand.
"Everything will work out, I guess..." Kevin sighs.
"I'm sorry, Kevin. I had no idea this was going to happen" Natalie pouted.
"It's fine, I know you didn't mean for it to happen. Just a bit shocking is all. If you will excuse me, I have things to attend to. Pushing up the merger of our companies is going to be a bear. Good day, Ladies." Kevin mounts Red and takes off in the direction Eddward went and caught up to him. "You may be able to lie to them but not me!"
"About?" Eddward asks hollowly his eyes looking straight forward.
"You being alright. You went completely rigid and left so quickly. Don't lie to me, I don't lie to you."
"Of course, I'm perfectly fine. Why wouldn't I be? We just found out that the woman you slept with is baring your child, who will be a constant reminder of what you did!" Eddward snips urging the horse to go faster.
"What I did?! I did nothing wrong! We weren't together at that time if you remember correctly!" Kevin pushed Red to speed up and stop in front of Raven sideways. "Stop being irrational!"
Eddward simply maneuvers the black horse around the red one. "It was bad enough you had to marry her but now you will have a child with her. That is two things I cannot give you Kevin, two!"
Kevin growls and catching up. "Two things that I don't give a shit about! What do you want me to do?"
Eddward slows down and looks over at him. "You don't want them?" he asks with a confused frown.
"You really think that just because she is pregnant, that would change the way I feel about you?! Seriously?!" Kevin steers Red to sideswipe Raven and grab the reins to pull him to a stop.
He sighs and shakes his head. "I don't know, I'm scared" he admits quietly. "I've never had this connection and I've always been so easily thrown away."
"I'm not throwing you away. The wedding is just a facade for the public. If we are caught, the penalties for being gay is death. I don't want to die just as I don't want you to die, so we have to play along and play house. Let's just be grateful that Natalie and Marie understand and are willing to play along. I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm not happy about her being pregnant but I do wish it was under different circumstances. There is just nothing that I can do to change it now, so we adjust and move on."
Eddward sighs and nods "Yes, very well."
"Are you just telling me that or are you seriously ok?"
"I don't know" Eddward says honestly "Come on, we have to get back to the house."
"Fine, I see why I am the asshole in this and why I deserve this treatment."
"It isn't you, Kevin" Eddward snaps. "At this point, it's me! Not everything is about you!" he growls pulling away from him and riding off.
"Oh good! Ride off, that's real helpful!" Kevin curses under his breath and casually having Red walk back to the mansion.
Eddward makes it back to the mansion and immediately begins giving orders to the other servants, snapping at them as he goes. Kevin rode up and took his time bathing, brushing, feeding, and watering Red by himself. He could understand most anything that involved business, running a business, buying other businesses, sales, payroll, etc... but when it comes to his own relationship, as secret as it was, he was clueless. When Red was safely in his stall, Kevin walked back into the mansion and sensed the tension in the air. Seeing Elizabeth and Leonard talking in the hallway, he approached them to ask where their son is.
"He came in like a bat out of Hell, saying that the wedding was being moved up unexpectedly because you and the young lady couldn't wait and began ordering people around and sending people into town with letters and orders for the shops. I think he is in the kitchen right now going over the meal with the head chef" Elizabeth says thoughtfully.
"Of course, he is..." Kevin thanked them and went to his father's study knocking and entering. "I need to talk to you."
"Enter then!" William says excitedly having heard the news from Giles, who had gone to see what the hell all the fuss was about.
"You seem happy, hear the happy news then?"
"Yes! I did and I'm so happy! I told you that things would go well!" William says standing up and limping over.
"Yeah, I guess... Please stay sitting, I don't want you hurting yourself farther."
"Oh! Come on you sound like Giles, give your old man a hug!" he chuckles.
"I knew you would be happy to be a grandpa, you're old enough to be anyway" Kevin prodded in a joke.
"Wait what?! Grandpa?!"
"Giles didn't tell you why the wedding was being moved up?"
"No! If he knew, he didn't tell me!"
"Yeah, Natalie is pregnant. I guess one time was enough..."
"Oh good Lord, child. Well, I can't say anything, that's why I married your mother" he laughs
"You're not mad?" Kevin asked with a cocked brow.
"How can I be angry at something I did when I was your age?" he asks limping back over to his chair.
"You were older than I am when Mother had me..."
"No I was the same age" William corrected, leaning back in his chair and popping some fruit in his mouth.
"Oh" Kevin trailed off and the office drew silent. William put his head back and relaxed, Giles would have a fit if he knew he was pushing himself. "Hey Dad? You ever get the feeling that what your doing is wrong?"
William sighs and lifts his head up. "Sometimes son, why?"
"But then why does it feel so right?"
"Son, what exactly are you talking about?" William asks sitting up.
Meanwhile Eddward had walked up to deliver the news and the older ginger's supper walks in clearly having heard everything. "Here you are, Master. Giles said he is going to be in later as he is helping my father pick out the flowers for the wedding" he says smiling. To anyone that didn't truly know the butler would think that he was genuinely happy at the moment. "Anything else?"
"No, thank you Eddward. You are dismissed" he smiles back. Eddward nods and turns to leave again.
"Oh! Silly me, I almost forgot. Young Master, I could not find you so I put your dinner in your study, would you prefer I brought it in here?" he asks as if nothing was wrong.
"No, that's fine, I'll eat in there."
"Very good, sir, if you'll excuse me" he nods walking out returning to his duties and remaining professional. "Now, what were you talking about?" William asks around a mouth full of steak.
"Nothing, I gotta go" Kevin left quickly and made his way to his study. 'Of fucking course he would be there. Of course, he would! What am I gonna do now?!'
William blinks in confusion and sighs but continues eating nonetheless When it was time for bed Eddward made himself too busy to deal with the ginger and sent one of the other servants to tend to him.
"Young Master, I'm here to help you ready for bed" the small handmaiden says timidly.
"I don't need help, get out of my bedroom."
"Yes, Young Master, I'm sorry!" she squeaks rushing out.
Kevin scoffed as she left before sighing. "I have fucked things up so badly and I don't know how to fix it, I need help."
Eddward didn't get back until later that night. He didn't even check on the ginger, he simply went straight to his own bedroom. Pushing a chair against the door between their rooms and locking both of them before he strips and slips into bed, knowing Kevin wouldn't be able to bust through the door or pick the lock for the door in the hallway.
Kevin was up half the night trying to figure out a way to fix this huge misunderstanding. He needed to talk to Eddward but he knew approaching him now would be tricky at best and painful at worst. He normally would talk to Giles or go out to the Willow but he knew that Giles was sleeping and going out now would just be stupid.
Eddward slips into a fitful sleep having nightmare after nightmare about the ginger handing him over to Edwin. Kevin looked across his trashed room. It started with just a simple tossing of paper across the room in anger and then the bigger things started to fly after the paper was gone. The Sun shown in his room showed himself and the room in disarray.
Eddward rises with the Sun, looking dreadful, he gets dressed and un-barricades his room before making his way to the kitchen. He prepares breakfast and sends the same hand maiden to wake the ginger up. She timidly knocks on the ginger's door "Young Master? Your breakfast is ready."
"No!" he yells through the door and something crashes and breaks.
She yelps and runs back to Eddward reporting what had just occurred. He simply sighs and finishes up the breakfast preparation before walking into the destroyed room. His eyes roamed around the room in shock and then horror when he realized he would be the one cleaning it. "Young Master, what seems to be the trouble?" he says through grit teeth trying to stay professional.
"Well first and foremost, my lover eavesdropped on a private conversation, then even though he only heard a small portion, assumed the worst and now hates me!"
"I was not eavesdropping. I did however walk in at what apparently was an inopportune time for you" he snaps, setting the tray of food down on the dresser.
"Are you even listening to yourself? We've been fighting since yesterday afternoon and I don't know why. Then I'm trying to get some insight about the baby and the wedding and here you come, getting even more pissed! I can't fucking win!"
Eddward rubs his temples. "First of all, you can stop yelling at me" he growls "then after that, you can shut the up! Dear god! Everything is not about you! Yesterday before I heard what you said to your father, I was upset because of my own short comings and how I do not deserve you because I have nothing to offer you!" Eddward hisses quietly glaring at him "I needed you to hold me and tell me that it didn't matter but instead you assume it has to do with you and as always went off the deep end" he explains, "but no, it certainly didn't help when I heard your converstion and I assumed the worse, I apologize for that."
"I did tell you it didn't matter! I told you many times that you are more important to me! I don't know how much more plain I can fucking make it? I can't read minds, Eddward, I don't know what you need but I try to give it to you when I can. I can't give you something you need if you don't tell me!"
The butler stares at him for a long moment. "Oh, right. That's fine. As always it's my fault and I'm being irrational. Yes, I see" he says nodding.
"This has got to be a dream... Real quick, where does your brain equalize 'Tell me what you need to make you happy' and 'It's your fault, you piece of shit'? I didn't say it was your fault! Did I say that?"
"Well obviously, it's my fault for not spelling things out for you!"
"Eddward, you are the only person I want. That's it, just you. I don't care what you have or don't have. I love you and I only want you. If I could get out of this wedding I would, if I could get out of being a father I probably would too. I'm terrified and I need you... you calm me down and help me think rationally. I need you to stay by my side and give me you. That's it."
Eddward's demeanor relaxes from being hostile and he tears up. "Kevin..." he sighs "I love you too, I'm so so sorry."
Instead of answering, Kevin pushes him against the door, shutting it in the process with a loud slam, and crushes their lips together. "I'm sorry... don't be sad... I love you..." he says between kisses.
He gasps and tears slip down his cheeks as he kisses back desperately. "I love you too..." he murmurs between kisses.
Kevin wiped away his tears with the pads of his thumbs "Shh, don't cry, it's okay..."
Eddward nods and clings to him tightly with a whimper "I love you Kevin, I love you so much."
"You are the best thing to happen to me... are we better?"
The butler smiles softly and pulls him into a kiss "Yes, if you'll forgive me."
"You know I do, do you forgive me?"
"Of course, I do Kevin" he says gently combing his hand through the red hair. "I missed you last night."
"I was up all night, trying to find a way to talk to you, to apologize and explain things to you. All I wanted was you lying next to me."
"I'm so sorry" Eddward says pulling him close and giving him a sweet kiss on his lips.
"Don't worry about it" Kevin brings him in for another kiss. "Let's just move on with our day but tonight, I expect you naked in my bed."
This makes the Raven smile "I look forward to it, Young Master" he smirks.
