...The Treasure Hunt…
The next day I woke up to Blaise kissing me. he smiled down at me with a very victorious look on his face. "Morning Blaise.", I whispered tiredly. "Morning love.", he responded. I sat up stretching. Blaise sank back onto the bed. I looked at him disapprovingly. "I know you didn't just wake me up so you could go back to sleep.", I huffed. He closed his eyes and yawned.
I straddled his waist and bent down to kiss his neck. He groaned but didn't move. I continued my assault. He sat up and I grinned. "Fine. I'm awake.", he surrendered as I wrapped my legs around him. I pulled his face down to mine for a kiss. He wrapped his arms around me and flipped us over. I moaned against his lips. "Can't we stay here for just a bit longer? Please love? I'll make it worth your while.", he whispered kissing my neck. My hands traveled down his frame and he groaned.
"No, love. We have to help with the treasure hunt. Come on.", I murmured as he began kissing me down my neck. He kept traveling lower. "Really? Your response is very different from your words.", he smirked as he continued kissing a trail down my body.
He kissed the inside of my legs and I sat up. "No! Nope. We need to go. You're not behaving love. Come on.", I started to unwrap my legs from his waist, but he stopped me. He carried me to the bathroom putting me on the counter. He closed the door. "How about this. I give you some pleasure and we spend the day inside.", he stated as he slipped a hand up my tank. I slid my tank off.
"You're accepting?", he asked with a hopeful smile. "Nope. I'm taking a shower.", I hopped off the counter. I started to walk to the shower. He hugged me from behind me. I turned to him frowning. He was smirking. "Shower time.", I told him. I slowly took off my pajamas and ran the shower to warm up the water. I stepped inside and let the water run over me.
I heard Blaise step inside. I stepped under the shower head letting the water run through my hair. When I was done, I stepped out from under it. I wiped the water from my face. Blaise was smirking still. I pushed him under the shower head.
I rubbed shampoo in my hair and rinsed it out. When I was done with my shower I reached for a towel. "Really Blaise?", I asked incredulously. The towels were gone. "What's wrong love?", he asked in an attempt to shake me off. I closed the shower door. "Do you want to play this game?", I asked seriously. He looked at me and smiled. I backed him against the shower wall kissing him passionately.
He groaned as I kissed him. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He deepened the kiss and I moaned. He placed me on the ground and spun us around so that my back was on the shower wall. He kissed a trail down my body. He lifted my leg over his shoulder and kissed the inside of it.
I let my head fall back as he began licking at my clit and sucking it into his mouth. I pressed his head further into my folds. I nearly buckled as the first orgasm rolled over my body, but he held me up with his hand. He kept going orgasm after orgasm rolling over me in quick succession. I shuddered as he stopped attacking my clit. I panted trying to catch my breath.
He kissed a trail up my body finally burying his face in my neck kissing it lightly. He pressed me to him and put my legs around his waist. I arched my back as he entered and gave a slight gasp. I stared into his eyes still panting.
I kissed him eagerly as he thrust himself inside me. I buried my head in his neck as he continued thrusting inside me. I could barely contain myself as the orgasms kept washing over me. I gasped as the biggest orgasm washed over me and stars danced across my vision. I felt him thrust harder into me as he reached his finish. I panted heavily. "You're dangerous Zabini.", I panted in his ear.
He smirked capturing my mouth in a kiss. "Now we can go.", he whispered. I hit his shoulder playfully. I showered off. Blaise handed me a towel. I wrapped it around myself as I exited the shower. I washed my face and sat on the counter. I watched as he went through his clothes. I shook my head at him.
He came back in the bathroom. He handed me an outfit he'd picked out. I looked at him. "It's a treasure hunt. You'll need to wear something comfortable.", he explained as he dressed. I let my eyes travel the length of his chest one last time before getting dressed.
I walked out of the bathroom and made sure everything was in my bag. He got up from the couch and held his hand out. I put my hand in his and we left the room heading downstairs.
"Morning you two.", Mrs. Zabini called from the stove. I sat at the kitchen island. Blaise left to answer the phone that had begun to ring. "How are you Charlotte?", Mrs. Zabini asked as she placed some freshly made bread, butter, and jam in front of me. "Yes. I'm having a lovely time here.", I responded as I tasted the jam. "That's not what I asked you, but ok.", she winked at me. She tore off a piece of bread and spread some butter on it.
Blaise joined us. "The others will be joining us soon.", he said as he took a piece of bread. I nodded and turned back to my food. "How are you this morning Blaise?", Mrs. Zabini asked slyly. "I'm doing fine. I well rested if that's what you wanted to know.", he answered looking at his mum with a strange expression. she went to the fridge to get some food for the trip. Blaise sent me a look, but I just shrugged.
I finished the light breakfast. Mrs. Zabini packed some bags with simple foods and looked like she wanted to ask us some more questions, but thankfully the doorbell rang. "I'll get it.", I sang as I hopped up from my seat. I opened the door and Elda tackled me in a hug. I hugged her back.
"Are ready to begin the adventure?", she squealed as she released me. I nodded as I moved to hug the others. We headed into the kitchen. The adults talked about the destinations we had to go to.
"Why is your mum giving you weird looks?", I heard Rochelle whisper to Blaise. He shrugged handing out the snack bags. "We'll start the hunt with the Pantheon and the Forum.", Nardo stated pointing at a list of places.
I had a sudden idea. I pulled mini book keyrings from my bag. I cast a quick spell over them and handed one to everyone. "What is this?", Cyprienne asked staring at the keyring with a smile. "I put a spell on them so that they'll buzz when we're near a message.", I explained as I demonstrated with her keyring. I held It over one of the messages. It started buzzing lightly. "I made it buzz lightly so that way we won't attract unwanted attention. Especially if the hunt leads to national treasures.", I smiled.
Everyone nodded and tested out their keyrings. We headed out to the cars. I rode with Blaise, Cesco, and Rochelle. We followed behind the others. Once we were on the road Rochelle cleared her throat. "Can you answer my question from earlier?", she tapped Blaise on his shoulder.
He tsked at her and she sat back. "Then can Charlotte answer my question?", she continued. I turned around in my seat and winked. "Go for it.", Blaise chuckled. I nodded at him and explained the situation to her in Chinese. In sat back in my seat as I finished.
"Fine! I won's ask you anymore questions.", she huffed folding her arms. Cesco looked at each one of us highly confused. I shook my head at him. Rochelle leaned over to tell him, but I turned the radio on.
I closed the door stretching after the drive. Rochelle had started poking me the moment she got out of the car. I wrapped an arm around her and led her to the others. Blaise pushed a still confused Cesco after us.
We began looking around while acting like our interest was in the Pantheon before us. I took pictures as we went. Blaise pulled me to him as we walked around. "Your family is very perceptive.", I whispered. he chuckled pointing me at various things he thought important.
The search continued for an hour. Neryssa waved me over. Her keyring was buzzing. I looked around and saw it. The message I nudged her, and she took out her notepad as I whispered the message. We'd found a lot of messages already. There weren't any hints left, so we went to the Forum.
I walked around the Forum with Rochelle and Elda. We found quite a few messages and then took a break. I sat down with them as we munched away on our snacks. "Seriously. Why was auntie Cianna looking at you two so slyly?", Rochelle asked.
"I don't know. I already answered her early when she asked us.", I sighed. "That's weird. If you already answered her why is she looking at you as if she knows something?", Elda giggled. I looked over to where Elda was looking. Mrs. Zabini kept looking back and forth between me and Blaise as she talked to the other adults.
I sighed wearily. When they were done, we resumed the hunt. It didn't take long. I sorted the notes as everyone relaxed. "This is so much fun Cianna. I can't wait for tomorrow!", Ymelda squealed. Mrs. Zabini smiled at her.
"Tomorrow we'll be visiting St. Mark's Basilica and the Uffizi Gallery.", Roque informed everyone before we got in the cars. I nodded and slid into the passenger's seat. Everyone got in the cars. On the drive back I translated all the messages we collected today. We dropped Rochelle and Cesco off in front of their houses. I finished translating by the time we pulled up to the house.
I put my things in my bag as we got out. Mrs. Zabini wasn't home yet. I went upstairs and changed and slid into bed. Once Blaise was done organizing the messages, he joined me. He slid over to me. "Time for you to get some sleep love.", he whispered. I put my head on his chest letting his heartbeat be my lullaby as I fell asleep.
I awoke the next morning very early. I looked around sleepily. It was barely 5 in the morning. I stretched lightly. I put my head back on Blaise's chest. "Why are up?", I heard him mutter sleepily. I shook my head, "Don't know.", I murmured back. He groaned. I looked up at him. He was slowly waking up too. I laid my head on the pillow.
He sat up looking around. he gave another groan when he saw the time. I moved so that I was behind him and wrapped my legs around him. I kissed his neck. "Go back to sleep. It's still early.", I mumbled. He shook his head. I looked up at him. I felt his chest rumble with quiet laughter.
He moved me in front of him. I looked at him curiously. He gave a sigh. I crawled onto his lap. He ruffled my hair. I smiled lazily. "What should we do since we're awake?", he asked rhetorically. I flattened him on the bed tracing my fingers down his frame. He placed his hands on my hips. I tsked at him. He smiled up at me. "Do what you want love.", he told me as I sat up.
I rolled his shirt up and he threw it off. I threw my top off too and kissed him. He moved his hands to cup my neck holding me in the kiss. I giggled as I let my hands travel. He flipped us over tsking back at me. He rolled my shorts and panties down my legs. He kissed his way back up. He let his finger travel down my body teasing me. I shivered in anticipation.
He played with folds rubbing his thumb over my clit watching my face as he did so. I purred. He smirked and picked up the pace. My back arched. He grunted in satisfaction. I was shaking so much he had to use a hand to keep me still. He leaned down to kiss me as he continued rubbing my clit. I moaned into the kiss.
I shook even harder as my first orgasm wracked my body. He reached over onto the dresser. I panted heavily. I squirmed as he sat up taking off his boxers and putting a condom on. I watched him with lust filled eyes. He slid inside of me. I shuddered at the feeling of him filling me up.
He placed my legs on his shoulders. I shook my head and he smiled. He slid in and out of me slowly at first and then picking up speed. My head fell back, and my back arched. I fell back onto the bed as I orgasmed. He put my legs down. I looked at him when I'd calmed down a bit. He had his hands on my hips watching me.
He flipped us over. I slid down slowly impaling myself on his cock. My head fell back as he ran his hands over my hips. I lifted myself again, but instead of waiting on me he slammed me down hard. I gasped in pleasure. He sat up and kissed me as I rode him.
I moaned as he raised his hips to meet mine. I buried my head in his neck. I shuddered as another orgasm hit me. "Damn.", I heard him mutter as he watched me orgasm. I looked into his eyes and seeing the lust in them orgasmed again. he held me to him as I shook.
He flipped us back over and drove into me like there was no tomorrow. I stifled my moans in the pillow. I raised my hips to meet his. I orgasmed again and again. Blaise kissed me. I moaned against his lips and crossed my legs behind him driving him in further. I moaned in his ear and he rolled his hips faster. "Merlin's beard your moans should be illegal love.", he groaned.
I smiled. He picked up the pace as he neared his finish. I kissed his neck. I shook as I orgasmed, and he came. I panted watching him. He looked into my eyes. I gulped. "Do behave yourself love.", he told me as his eyes raked over my body. I ran my fingers over his bare chest. "What if I don't want to?", I asked dangerously. I pulled his face to mine. "What if I don't behave love? Honestly, what would you do?", I murmured against his lips.
He gulped. I felt him grow hard again. I shivered. He picked me up and took me into the bathroom. He set me down and closed the door. I watched him closely. He waved a finger at me. I looked at him tilting my head.
"Charlotte if I have to behave myself then you have to behave as well.", he sighed as he stood in front of me. My hands traveled over his chest as he spoke, and he shuddered. I smiled at his reaction.
He smirked. He turned me around, so I was facing the mirror. He slowly bent me over the counter, so I lay flat on it. He rubbed his cock over my folds. I watched him carefully. He slid into me and I moaned. He began slowly. I laid my head on the counter letting him take control.
I moaned as multiple orgasms hit my body back to back and I lost count. He stopped. I looked up at him sadly. I felt him slide out of me and whimpered.
He began sliding his cock over a different hole. I shivered. He looked at me. I nodded. He slid into my ass slowly and I groaned. I gave another shudder. He slid in and out and I let my head lie back on the counter. I orgasmed again and he stopped.
He leaned over and kissed my neck. He slid out of my ass. He took off the used condom and rolled on a new one. He slid back between my folds as he kissed my neck. I gasped.
He stopped again and I sighed in frustration. I sat up. Blaise watched me with interest. I hopped onto the counter. I pulled Blaise into a kiss. He slid back into me. I rolled my hips to meet his at the same pace as he was going. I trembled as he drove into me. stars danced across my vision. I don't know how much longer I can stand this. I thought as Blaise ran a thumb over my clit watching as I orgasmed again. I pushed him off.
I pushed him down to the floor and impaled myself on his erection. I bounced on him. I bent down to kiss him rolling my hips as I went. He groaned and put his hands on my hips. I kissed up and down his neck. "Time to let go Blaise. Come on love let go. Finish it before I go crazy.", I murmured in his ear. I lifted my head up enough to see his face.
His eyes investigated mine burning with lust his self-control on the verge of breaking. I bounced faster clenching my walls around him. He grunted and groaned as I bounced. He sat up and I wrapped my legs around him. He forced me done even faster. We climaxed at the same time.
I let my head fall back. Blaise groaned rolling my hips down as the last of his climax ended. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He kissed me gently. I slowly calmed down. We were both panting.
I moaned as he slid out of me and discarded the used condom. I laid on the floor. I heard Blaise filling up the tub. He picked me up and we sat in the tub. I gathered water into my hand and poured it over me. Blaise watched me. I continued to pour water on myself.
He picked up my foot. I stared at him. He examined my face and put my foot back. I squinted at him. He grabbed the soap and handed it to me. I took it and scrubbed myself clean. He handed me a towel and my robe. I stood up and wrapped myself up. I watched as he scrubbed himself. He wrapped a towel around himself as he stood from the tub. I washed my face.
"Do you want something to eat?", he asked. I nodded. He dressed and went downstairs. I cleaned up while I waited. I dressed in shorts, a tee, and sneakers. I put my hair in pigtails. I sat on the couch and cut the tv on. I was flipping through the channels when Blaise returned.
He placed a tray of food on the table and sat beside me. "If you wear that can I wear what I want?", he asked looking at my outfit. I shook my head and waved him to the closet. He chuckled and got up and went to the closet.
I was watching cartoons and munching away on the platter of Focaccia and fruit he'd brought up. Blaise came out of the closet dressed in a tee, shorts, and sneakers. He sat by me and popped some fruit in his mouth.
We watched cartoons until Mrs. Zabini knocked on the door. "Time to go you two.", she said, and we heard her skipping down the stairs. I cut off the tv and grabbed my bag. I followed Blaise out of the room and to the car.
We picked up Rochelle and Cesco and headed to Venice. Rochelle looked around. "See something familiar?", I asked her. She nodded and we followed her as she weaved her way through the crowds.
We followed her up the clock tower. She looked around at the top. The key ring began to buzz. I looked down. There were words on the ground below. I translated the words to her. I took photos with my camera. Blaise and Cesco had noticed something and had gone off to make notes. I stood looking at the scene below.
Rochelle looked around further. I stared intently at the ground. Rochelle went to find the others. I observed the ground like the symbols were floating around. "Come on love.", Blaise said from behind me.
He pulled me away and we descended the stairs. "Why were you staring at the ground where we found the message so intently?", he asked, "The others have already found the rest of the messages."
I swung our hands not answering. My head was still trying to organize what I'd seen. He pulled me over to a less crowded area where we would not be overheard. "The picture was moving.", I told him.
He looked at me. "It was like watching a movie.", I explained, "I put the whole thing in my journal." He sighed, "It looked like you were trying to jump in or something. Rochelle came and got me." I looked around. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry.", I whispered. Blaise hugged me telling me it was okay.
"What do you mean it was like watching a movie?", he asked. I pointed at the ground. "She appeared. She was painting a story. She was beckoning.", I fumbled around trying to explain. The others had come over to see what the problem was.
"She was beckoning and painting?", Ymelda asked. I took out my notes. I flipped to the page I'd written on. "This. Do you recognize it?", I asked showing them the rough sketch of the painting.
Cyprienne gasped. "Take me to where you saw this.", she pulled me back to the tower. Ymelda followed us. When we got to the top I pointed to the exact location. The others that stayed on the ground went over to examine it from there. Cyprienne gasped excitedly. She stayed up there with Ymelda while Blaise led me back down.
He held me close to him. "You got quite the eye.", he whispered. I smiled lightly. I stared up at the buildings. I took some photos. I wandered over to the front of a building and stared at it with a smile. I took a photo of myself in front of it.
I made my way back over to Blaise and the others. Blaise was laughing. "What's so funny?", Elda asked. "I just remembered that her mum has taken photos here before. I wonder if she has ever noticed anything.", he continued laughing.
"I sent her a letter and she should be sending back a response anytime now.", I told him. "Your mum's been here before?", Ortensia asked. "Yep. The funny thing is her mum has been to our art galleries. It turns out she talked to me about the eye-catching art when I was 6 or 7.", Blaise explained.
Cesco coughed in shock. I stared at him. "Your mum is Mrs. Black?! Faerydae Black?!", he exclaimed. His mother hit him. "You should have realized that when she showed us the photos of her family. All of you!", Cyprienne scoffed and waved a finger menacingly around.
We ate a quick lunch and then headed off to the gallery in Florence. We went inside and I gasped. "Focus.", Blaise murmured in my ear. I waved him off and Byanca and Neryssa laughed.
Blaise held my hand and guided me through the gallery. I kept tapping him trying to get him to stop at every work. He kept moving me forward. I poked his chest. He stopped. I used the opportunity to read a description of a work. He placed his hands on my hips and guided me away.
I pouted and he smiled. I focused on the task but stopped a few minutes later. Blaise groaned. "Mum restored this one.", I muttered looking at a work. I went back to searching. I clapped my hands.
I led Blaise over to a work. We looked at it and read the description. Blaise broke into a smile. "This is one your mum has redone. It also just so happens to be what we were looking for.", he told me. He made some quick notes.
Once we were done searching the gallery, we joined the others. Blaise told them about what we found. I recalled my memories and closed my eyes. I sighed in irritation and opened my eyes.
"You just remembered why you recognized it, didn't you?", Blaise looked at me. I nodded. "You remember how I told you my dad is a curse-breaker for Gringotts?", I asked him as the others leaned in. Blaise nodded and I continued. "Ava and Lucas used to love playing around with some of the stuff he brought back, and they decided to play catch with the treasure in mum's studio and destroyed several works in the progress. That one in there was just one of them."
Rochelle smacked her forehead with her hand. Ymelda shook her head and frowned. "Your poor mum. I'll bet she was livid.", Ortensia sighed. I shrugged, "I was in the park. I avoid those two when they look mischievous. I think that day it was something from an Egyptian vault. Really nasty piece of work." I shuddered.
We gathered the last of the notes. Everyone read over the messages thoroughly. I looked around. Blaise poked my side. I looked over. He pointed to a passage. I read it quickly and translated it.
I scanned the rest of it and smiled. The smile turned into a light laugh and Blaise pushed me lightly. I snickered drawing the attention of Zoela and Neryssa.
"It's not funny!", Blaise stated. I shook with laughter. "What happened? Blaise what did you do?", Neryssa asked. "This message talks about how your great grandfather acted. Isn't is shocking?", I asked. They read it and laughed. "This behavior must be hereditary.", Neryssa gasped in a break in laughter.
Blaise coughed highly flustered. They passed the translated message around. I avoided Blaise's gaze that begged for help. When everyone was done laughing, I helped Uberto translate a message.
Finishing the last of the translations everyone piled back into the cars. We decided to take a break the next day. We dropped the others off and returned to the house.
I grabbed my things and followed Blaise. He closed the room door behind me. I sat on the couch. I took out my notes and spread them out. Blaise still stood by the door. I waved him over, but he didn't move.
I got up and went over. I held his hand and dragged him over to the couch with me. He still looked slightly upset from the teasing he'd gotten earlier. I leaned my head on his shoulder. He organized my things and put them away.
He turned the tv on and clicked through the channels until he found a movie. I took my shoes off and curled up into him. We watched movie after movie. At some point he was laying completely flat on the couch with me on top of him. My head was on his chest as I fell asleep.
I woke in the middle of the night to find I was in bed. I sat up looking around dazed and confused. Blaise was still on the couch. I changed and went back to sleep. When I woke the second time with Blaise behind me and his arms around me. He grumbled and I smiled slipping back into a deep sleep.
I woke again after 8 in the morning. Blaise was leaning over me peering out the window. I looked in the direction and saw two owls. I sat up and went to the window opening it. Blaise's owl and Blue flew in.
Blaise groaned stretching. I untied the letters from everyone. I read through them quickly and wrote responses and updates. I opened the one from mum. I went back to the bed and crawled back in beside him. He groaned still very tired.
I laid my head on his chest and read her letter. he read along with me. I laughed as we finished reading. Blaise was shocked. Mum had no idea what to say. She had asked around but what I'd seen was dumb founding to everyone she asked. My 'skill' hadn't been heard of for hundreds of years. I turned to Blaise.
"Your dating a real weirdo, aren't you?!", I asked him. He looked at me with a frown. "You are not a weirdo. I don't like you using that word to describe yourself. You are more special than weird.", he whispered. I felt tears of happiness spring up in my eyes. I buried my head in his chest.
"I understand.", I mumbled. He wrapped his arms around me. We sat there for a while. He rubbed my arms comfortingly. Mrs. Zabini knocked on the door. Blaise told her to come in.
She came in smiling and holding a tray of food. She stopped when she saw us. "What happened?", she asked concern coloring her voice. Blaise held up the letter. She came over and sat on the bed. She read it.
"Ugh. You two. You scared me. I thought something bad had happened.", she muttered, "I brought you two some food." Blaise chuckled. She got up and left the room muttering to herself.
I sat up. The food smelled delightful. I crawled out of the bed and made my way over to the tray. It was filled with fruits, yogurt, prosciutto, fresh bread, and jam. I teared off a small piece of bread I popped it into my mouth.
Blaise sat beside me and started eating. I cut the tv on and we watched cartoons and movies for the entire day.
