Everybody Cries, Everybody Laughs
As Sirius approached the tree line, he pulled his cloak closer; the chill of the evening was biting. He glanced at his lord's tent. He had switched with his replacement for the night, a younger man, named Marcus but ten minutes prior. He wondered how the young man who so resembled his lost friend was holding up.
He shouldn't think on that at the moment though, as there was something else, he needed to do.
The silver-eyed beta made his way through the foliage. Their encampments were just on the outskirts of the forest. He followed the small path that had been cut away by many years of traversing, only stopping at an old, crooked tree that had a beautiful white owl perched in its branches. He couldn't help but feel like the regal creature was giving him a stern look, judging him, before it flew off into the night.
Sighing, he left the path and instead walked through a barely seen fresh trail. He was tracking another through the trees on this cold night.
He approached a small clearing. He could feel thick magic in the air. He reached out and felt the ward that kept sound and magic within. He pressed and fell right through. He was immediately accosted with the sounds of angry snarls and the shattering of stones.
Severus was moving rapidly through the area, blasting old trees and large stones with waves of magic. Not many people knew the healer could have easily been a guardian fighter instead of a potion's healer. Severus had power in spades. He usually focused it on his positions and helping others but sometimes it came out when he needed to protect his lord and loved ones.
Sirius knew others felt he was an immature man, over top and somewhat childish. Lily had always said he was 'a lovable dog' who just wanted attention. Regardless of his personality, Sirius knew when it was time for jokes, and when it was time to get…well serious. Pun not intended.
As Sirius watched the alpha, he could not help but feel his heart squeeze. He could see that Severus was hurting. Sirius also knew that if the man did not get his aggression out that he would snap at the wrong time, at the wrong person. Letting out a breath the beta stepped into the clearing.
Sirius was a guardian; his family had always protected the leaders of their land. Which meant he was in prime form to help Severus release a little tension. He threw his own blast of magic, without warning, at the Alpha's back.
The man sensed it and twirled around, throwing a wave of angry magic to rebound the blast from Sirius and throw it back at him. The beta merely stepped out of the way, letting it destroy a small tree that had already take several blasts tonight by the look of it.
He locked eyes with the healer, his eyebrow slightly raising. Well? What else you got? Was clearly indicated.
Severus snarled in rage and the next several minutes were spent with Sirius mostly dancing and dodging out of the way of dangerous and somewhat deadly waves of magic from a very frustrated alpha.
Sirius only grinned and taunted when he needed to spurn the man on. After all, tonight was about letting Severus let go of some pent-up aggression. If he needed to get the man angrier to let it all out, then that is what he would do. After all, he could take it and he did not mind being the target.
Severus finally groaned, his face sweaty, his hair a mess and sticking to his splotched skin. He stumbled forward, out of magical power but rearing to beat Sirius the old fashion way. With fists and teeth if he could.
Sirius easily side stepped the clumsy weary right hook and grabbed the man's wrists. He pulled Severus towards him. It was a testament to how exhausted the man was now that he only got a token of angry snarls and kicks for his effort.
Eventually though, Sirius managed to get him into his arms. They were the same height, so he brought his hand behind the others head and pushed the alpha's face carefully against his own shoulder. Severus was breathing harshly, sharp gasps and growls that could also have been dry sobs racking the tall alphas body. Sirius did not care, he merely held him.
"My son…my son was neglected, hurt, and left all alone." Severus eventually spoke. His voice harsh and tight. Sighing Sirius slid his hand down the man's back several times.
"I know, but he wasn't always alone, he wasn't always by himself, and now…now he is here, we've found him Sev." Severus took several minutes to calm himself. Then he dragged in a deep breathe that sounded like it hurt.
"They will pay! They will suffer for what they did and he…." Severus then in-haled sharply, his hands finally coming up to grip onto Sirius's shoulders. His hands clutching hard enough to bruise. Sirius let him. Severus pulled himself up to eye level, his dark eyes full of emotion unlike anything Sirius had seen of him in years. It was breathtaking.
"He…Harry will never be alone again." Severus exclaimed. His voice was rough, his face splotchy. Yet the power behind the words were absolute. Sirius nodded, allowing his own face to show his determination.
"We won't let him, neither will our lord." Sirius agreed.
Sirius could be mature at times, but only for those who deserved it. Only for those he cared for. Looking into the passionate black eyes of the alpha, Sirius knew that this man was one of them, as was their precious and newly found Harry.

Harry was unsure how he had gotten to this point in his life. Bonded to the leader of all their people. Laying on the softest of furs and cleaning himself in the most prosperous of baths. Eating food that he had never been allowed to indulge himself in, no Harry had never thought his life would be this way.
He wasn't sure he liked it yet. Especially all the random people calling him "lord consort, "as though he were someone special. He snorted; these people would be shocked at how much he enjoyed the simple things in life.
Currently he was sitting at the table in his bonded's tent. The man was extremely anal about him eating at every given opportunity. He was not complaining, but some of the foods were a bit too much for him.
He did enjoy the chocolate though, could not turn his nose up at that. Tom had given him some that very afternoon. He smiled at the memory.
Just after lunch
Tom had told him that he had a gift, nothing extravagant. He had motioned for Harry to settle at the table. Harry had sat, slightly panicked. He had no gifts in which to give to Tom, nothing that would benefit a lord. He hadn't planned on being bonded, actually his plan had been to avoid it all cost. So now he was somewhat at a lost with the requirements of the bond.
Tom had been completely unaware of Harry's inner anxiety and turmoil. Instead, he had laid down a small wooden box, and when Harry had narrowed his eyes on it, pulled the lid back with great flourish.
Harry could only stare, and smell, dear Merlin, that smell. It had been mouthwatering. Harry had only had chocolate on the exceedingly rare occasions that the red headed twins brought some back for their family. This included Harry of course. Since there were so many of them, they had each only gotten to enjoy one piece. Two if they were lucky.
Harry was always grateful. Chocolate was something he had enjoyed immensely. Now Tom had gone and given him this box, a box with many chocolates. All for Harry.
The omega could not help but swallow. He couldn't believe the box was for him. Maybe he was supposed to share it?
"You don't like your surprise, Harry?" The omega had snapped his head up. Staring into the worried eyes of his mate. "I thought you might like them, but I can find something else that…"
"No!" Harry had nearly yelled. He flushed in mortification. Tom looked startled at his outburst. "Sorry, no…I… I love it."
Smiling, hating how bashful he suddenly felt, Harry stood up and tentatively hugged his alpha. He felt out of his comfort zone, but his instincts were screaming at him to show Tom how much the gift had meant to him.
For a horrible awkward moment Harry thought he might have crossed the line by touching the man, then he felt the strong body relax and two thick and powerful arms incircle his own lither frame. He was squeezed gently.
"I'm glad, I wasn't sure if you had ever tried any and most people have come to love this treat. I wanted to share it with you." The man admitted and Harry could detect some self-consciousness. The omega smiled again, his check against a broad warm chest. He was glad he wasn't the only one out of his depth here.
"No worries there, Tom, I only ever tried a couple pieces, but I love chocolate. I can't understand anyone who doesn't. I was just…" He bit his lip. Unsure how to word his thoughts. Tom did not push him, which he was glad for, instead he let Harry work out his words while tenderly sliding fingers through Harry's hair.
Harry was starting to think the man was already addicted to playing with his hair.
"I just…the family I told you about, the one who often cared for me," Harry hesitated here, Tom's hold had tightened at the mention of his past, something Harry knew bothered the alpha immeasurably. He was glad Tom did not say anything though.
"There are these twins, they travel in a caravan, and they always bring back food and sweets from wherever they travel. They share it with their family. The family is very big, which means they have a limited amount, but somehow…" Harry's eyes misted slightly at his memoires.
"Somehow they always had enough to share with me, this just brought back some good memories, that's all." He whispered.
"I see," Tom squeezed Harry again, then pushed him back gently, Harry felt the man's wonderfully long fingers lifting his chin. They looked into each other's eyes. "Harry, do you see these people as your family? Truly?" He asked. Harry blinked, then beamed up at him, nodding his head energetically. He had absolutely no hesitation on that front.
"Of course! They've always tried to care for me, even adopt me, I would have allowed it but for the fact they have so many mouths to feed as it is." Harry had smiled ruefully. "Not that it stopped them from trying mind, they are a stubborn lot."
"So that's where you got it?" Tom smirked. Harry just laughed, completely unfazed.
"Something like that." He smiled, "but Ron always said that my stubbornness was born with me, I'm in a league of my own." Tom chuckled with his omega. After a couple minutes his face turned thoughtful.
"What?" Harry asked him, wondering what the older man was thinking about. Tom glanced down at him, then towards the wall of the tent. He looked conflicted. "Seriously, what are you thinking?"
Tom sighed.
"I just don't want to irritate you, I'm not sure you would like my idea." He admitted. "It may be me overstepping and…" He shrugged. Harry rolled his eyes and smacked the man on the arm. Tom stared down bemused. He was starting to accept that Harry had no plans to pull his punches with the alpha, it was rather refreshing.
"I can't judge if you don't even tell me and hedging around it will only irritate me now." Harry glowered without heat. Tom grinned, shaking his head.
"Alright, I did not really think you would mind but there is always that worry." He looked over at the chocolates then back toward his mate. "You know we have the family acknowledgement ceremony soon?" He asked instead.
"Yes…." Harry grimaced. Suddenly not liking the conversation anymore. His family was a complete nightmare. He wasn't looking forward to meeting with them again and introducing his Alpha. They would humiliate him for sure.
Though they may be more accommodating since they would be 'honored' by Harry's new mate. Though if Harry had brought home any lesser alpha, they would unquestionably have been cruel.
"I am thinking, what if you make it official. Instead of honoring your….'relatives.'" Tom made a face as though he had swallowed week old cabbage. "We bestow that honor on your real family."
Harry blinked up at him, nonplussed. "My real family…?"
"The ones who always share chocolate with you." Tom clarified with a warm smile. It took a few heartbeats, but Harry's eyes flew open wide in shock, then filled with happiness.
Harry threw his arms around Tom, laughingly exclaiming, "Yes! Please! That-that is just…." He stumbled over his words, too ecstatic and overcome with delight. "I want that, yes, yes, I really want that." He squeezed Tom with all he had, completely over his shy awkwardness of earlier.
Tom had just smiled adoringly, relieved that his idea had panned out. He was of course planning to 'honor' Harry's other relatives. Just not how they were expecting. He grinned ferally over Harry's head.
"I should share some of my chocolate with them." Harry happily chirped. He rushed over to his cholate and started counting how many was inside. "There are many of them, but we can cut some of the pieces in half and…" Harry abruptly froze.
Tom had grabbed Harry's wrist, stopping him. Harry looked up, confused, the alpha's eyes were full of emotion. Harry could not place what that emotion was. A sudden thought had Harry worried that he may have insulted his new alpha by wanting to share the gift he had gotten him.
"I…I'm sorry I just thought…If you don't want wish for me to share its ok, I wasn't thinking… I'm sorry." He stuttered. A finger stopped his rambling, resting warmly across his lips.
"None of that, I was just astounded at how caring and considerate my sweet omega is, it made me proud." The alpha's eyes glanced at the chocolate and allowed his lips to curl. "However, there is no need to share what you have, these are yours. I will personally bestow your family with a gift of their own box of chocolate." He stated.
Harry could only stare. He had felt such warmth fill him when Tom said he was proud of him. Now he didn't know what to feel. On one hand he would love for his 'family' to receive such a gift, but on the other hand, he felt guilty for putting Tom out. He also felt overwhelming happiness that Tom would even think in such a way.
"I…I don't want you to go out of your way, I know these are hard to get and I'm fine with sharing." He tried.
Tom just laughed, took a chocolate, and held it up to Harry's lips. The scent of the rich treat was made even more exotic to Harry since it was held in those elegant fingers. He swallowed.
"I got these for you my darling, and rest assured I have no qualms about gifting your family. Soon they will be mine as well. Besides, this can be considered as part of the…acknowledging of my mate's family." He smiled down at his little omega. Harry stared up at him for several moments before letting himself relax.
Harry opened his mouth and accepted the chocolate from his alphas long fingertips. It was like euphoria on his tongue. He couldn't have controlled the moan that escaped if he had tried. When he opened his eyes, they had closed involuntarily, he found himself gazing into Tom's warm ruby reds, they were dilated and full of hunger.
Next thing Harry knew he had been dragged into the alpha's arms, lifted practically off the floor, and ravished delightfully. He was unsure if Tom just wanted to taste the chocolate; he was certainly trying to lick every ounce of it out of his mouth.
That had been a couple hours ago, and Harry still got red in the face when he thought about it. Tom had let his hands wonder just a bit, not anywhere too personal, but along his arms, across his hips, down his shoulders and even the slim bit of skin on his lower back, right above his bum. Harry immediately blushed again.
Now Harry sat eating some fruit, his mind whirling. Tom was honoring the red headed family that he adored. He had not been obligated to honor Harry's adoptive family, and by rights his aunt, uncle and cousin should be honored.
That rankled him of course, as they were horrible people to represent you when introducing your mate. Still, Tom had chosen to pay tribute to the nicest people Harry knew. He smiled. He looked at his box of chocolate.
Tom had tried to make him swear never to eat the chocolate in front of others. He had no idea why. Silly alpha.
He could not way to see Molly's face. She would be so excited. The rest of them of course would love the chocolate.

Lucius followed his lord through the busy bustling crowd. He wasn't sure what the man was hunting within the traveling caravan, but he was surely on a mission. Tom had come to his quarters only a scant twenty minutes ago. He had given an order, and then left.
"I have use of the caravan, make sure the servants are ready in ten minutes, you may accompany me."
Confused Lucius had quickly followed. He made sure that the servants were ready to go, only for Tom snap at them.
"These are all who have readied themselves? I want five more Lucius!" He growled. Shocked, but able to hide it behind his traditional blank mask, the blond Alpha turned towards the gathered servants. They looked somewhat uneasy about their lord's demeanor.
"You, Dean," He waved at a young beta, one of the few who looked to have a backbone. "Go to the dining area and solicit more help, five more." He instructed. Dean nodded and made to leave.
.
"Make sure they can carry heavy objects, or that one of you know some feather light magics, I will not have time to cast any on everything I plan to purchase." Tom added.
As Dean scurried off to do their lord's bidding, Lucius could only stare. Tom rarely if ever 'shopped.' He much preferred to allow others to do it for him. Not that he ever really required much.
As they slipped through the many people stocking up from the traveling caravan, Tom bartered with the different stalls. He wouldn't allow others to give opinion but would check anything that interested him himself, handing over the gold serpents that his family were known for when he found something he approved, and scoffing in disgust when he did not.
Lucius followed behind; the ten servants already loaded down with several large bundles desperately trying to keep up. Yes, their lord was on a mission. What that mission could be, Lucius was at a loss.
Lucius ignored his growing curiosity; Tom would explain when and if he was ready. Their leader had stopped at a new stall, his fingers rubbing the material of a large red decorative blanket.
He shook his head and began to walk forward again, only to stop and grin ferally, then he was off, walking swiftly with his much too long legs, somehow making it look elegant. Lucius forced himself to increase his speed to keep up.
"My lord, what is it you have…" Tom lifted his hand to quiet him. Lucius held his tongue. If it had been anyone else it would be rather insulting, but not when it was their lord.
"I believe that I have finally found them." Tom smirked, approaching a stall with two identical red heads. They looked up and their eyes widened knew who Tom was after all.
"Our lord, welcome to our humble business!" The one on the left said happily.
"How can we be of service to our dear leader?" Asked the man on the right. Lucius blinked, they were surely exuberant, though he supposed Rabastan and Roldolphus were about the same. Must be a brother thing.
"I am glad to have located you two." Tom answered, smirking as he looked over their wares. "I have heard many good things about you from a…" Tom's smirk grew somewhat wider, "special friend."
"Oh?!" They asked together, looking excited.
"Who might that be we wonder?" inquired the grinning man on the right.
"Must be someone unique to have talked to our great Lord!" Continued the left.
Lucius would easily get a headache from their speech pattern, but he couldn't help but admire their tenacity. They didn't' balk at talking to Tom in such a way. Not many would dare.
"Yes, well, I have chosen a mate, someone very special indeed." Tom admitted, which shocked the blond. He had not expected him to share the knowledge of Harry until they met with the boy's family.
"I would like to speak to you privately, I need some information about my mates…relatives." Tom's face seemed to flash with hatred before it smoothed again. This made the blonde take interest, why would Harry's family bring such an emotion to their lord's face.
The two men stared with surprisingly shrewd gazes. Their personalities may be fun and easy but from this single calculating look, Lucius realized they were very clever. The red heads shared a look, a private conversation only those who shared a womb could ever achieve.
"From the look on your face we might know who your…special someone is." Left side said seriously. His eyes like flint, his brother easily matched the fire with his own gaze.
"Come into the back, we have a small room we can talk in." he continued, motioning to a closet like enclosed space that most stalls incorporated. Lucius looked at it aghast, it was not very large at all, and uncouth to expect their lord and leader to enter such a place.
Tom did not hesitate, much to the blonde's bewilderment.
"Lucius, wait here." With that he entered the small enclosure, the two twins glanced at each other, nodded and followed him in. Lucius abruptly understood. The two men had been testing his lord.
Lucius pushed back the fury and irritation that these two men would dare to 'test' their own lord. Yet at the same time…they had earned the blonde alpha's respect as well. They must care a great deal for Harry then, to do such a thing.
Twenty minutes passed, before the three men returned. Lucius flinched at the look on Tom's face. It was pure wrath and loathing. By the time Lucius had blinked his lord's face was smooth again, but his eyes were still shimmering like cold ice.
Whatever the two men had told his lord…. he wasn't sure he wanted to know.
"I will be in contact," Tom said, nodding at the two men.
"Your business seems to be booming, if you ever make it to Hogwarts, your stall will be accepted in the bazar." Tom continued. He pulled out four gold snakes and placed them onto the stalls table.
"No need for payment, anything for our brother." One of the twins said, trying to wave it away. The other nodding.
"We won't' turn our noses up at the bazar though, that sounds fun!" The other chirped. Tom shook his head.
"You misunderstood, I expected your forthrightness, no this is for everything in the stall today." They both gawped, finally wrong footed.
"What?!" The right-side twin said with a gasp. "You can't!" Trying to hand the gold back. "We don't need charity and…"
"Not charity, I am not that kind, no this is because your wares amuse him and that, in turn, impresses me."
"But- "
"That's too much-"
Their lord ignored the twin's protests.
"These will be shared amongst my servants today, and the rest of my entourage, they have young children who will happily take some of these toys as well." Tom waved at some of the more interesting toys on the back shelf, then nodded towards Lucius.
"Lucius have all this taken back to the camp and given out to the others. Make sure each child gets something." He demanded. Lucius smirked at the gawping twins.
This was not the first time Tom had given gifts to his people, so it was not that surprising. However, it was the first time he had bought a whole stall out. These two would have plenty of free time in the next week.
"Spend time with your family, he will come by before we need to leave, I would hope for you two to meet him when he arrives at your family's cave." Tom finished, then turned and made his way out of the caravan and bustling crowd.
The twins shared one last open jawed look before grinning.
"Fred and George at your service our lord!" They sing-songed. They looked ecstatic and Lucius did not think it was just because Tom had bought everything in their stalls. He supposed the two were happy to spend more time with their families.

Tom looked way to pleased with himself when he came back that night. Harry was a little shocked at the way the man swaggered about. He never would have expected Tom to swagger. Then again, the man was a little too sure of himself sometimes.
"Harry, would you feel comfortable sharing super with a few of my friends?" He asked when he finally stopped strutting about the tent, the rather maniacal smirk on his face smoothing into a gentle smile.
"Um…" Harry just blinked, so far Tom had not even allowed him out of the tent. He said it was for his own safety until they met with his family the next day. To avoid the gossips.
Harry was a bit overwhelmed about suddenly meeting others, but he could not turn it down.
"Tha-that's fine." He allowed. Tom stared at him, before chuckling and taking a seat beside him. He took Harry's hand and lightly kissed the omega's knuckles.
"Now darling, there is no reason to say what you do not mean." He soothed. "There will not be many people, just a handful. You know most of them." Tom's thumb rubbed the back of Harry's hand, calming the omega a bit.
"I am fine; I know I will need to meet everyone eventually." Harry defended, forcing himself not to grimace. "I am just not used to large get togethers but if its only a few then that is alright."
"You know my Healer Severus, and Sirius my guard. They will be there. Another guard, Remus will also attend, as will my second in command, Lucius, and his wife and son. They will be the only ones." Tom explained.
Harry sighed, but nodded, that was not too overwhelming then. Then Harry jerked up again, excitement pouring off his shoulders.
"Wait! Is his son blonde too? An alpha?" He asked excitedly. Tom gave him a sharp look.
"Yes…he was in the hunt this year, his first like yourself." The alpha explained, his voice suddenly weary. Harry barely registered it. He grinned happily.
"I liked him; he was rather funny at the ceremony." Tom narrowed his eyes.
"How much do you like him?" Harry blinked at the forced sounding question.
Tom looked somewhat constipated. Harry wondered why him liking the other boy was a problem. He noticed Tom's other hand was tapping the table rapidly, almost anxiously.
"Yes…well I barely know him, but he appeared to have enjoyed the opening ceremony as much as I did, we shared a small chuckle at one point." Harry explained. Tom still looked peculiar.
Harry gazed over at him. He let his eyes rove over the tenseness of the alphas body. He watched the nervous tapping of his fingers and observed the stressed lines on the man's face. It took a minute of careful consideration on his part, but then Harry's mouth opened up in an 'o.'
"Oh! No, I wasn't interested in anyone you know. I was quite surprised when you decided to approach me." Harry hurried to explain. It was so odd to see the self-assured alpha so uneasy, it did not sit well with the omega.
"You most definitely changed my mind of course." Harry smiled up at him, squeezing the man's fingers with one hand and letting his other hand lightly touch the alpha's cheek. "Your different." He finished, hoping he had explained it clearly.
Tom gave a slight curl of his lips, touching the omega's smaller hand on his cheek with his larger one. He looked calmer but still conflicted, which bothered Harry.
"You seem…" Tom started, "overly excited to meet him." He finished. Harry blinked, then fought down a laugh.
"Of course, I am, there's not many people who get my humor." Tom stared, his face showing slight confusion. Harry decided that he could not help but give a short snicker.
"Dark and sarcastic, I got the feeling from his face that we are alike, we could both be stubborn asses." Harry explained. "I was only excited to have a possible friend, since I'll be going with you back to your home."
Tom's face morphed. His lips curling into a true smile before he pulled Harry into his lap. He was obviously happy to hear Harry would return with him.
"It will be your home too, my darling." He whispered, as he kissed Harry's neck. The omega flushed; the alphas change of attitude throwing him for a loop.
"Of…of course." He gasped out. "But a friend is good to have…" He moaned loudly, Tom had taken the loop of his ear into this mouth, softly sucking. Shivering Harry tried to finish his thought. "Someone…someone to talk to and…" He went boneless as his alpha bit down. His ears were more sensitive than he had thought.
"I want you to make friends Harry," Tom pulled his face up, chastely kissing his lips. "I apologize for being…jealous." He admitted. The raven just stared up at him, so rarely had others asked for forgiveness to him, and coming from their Lord no less.
Plus, Tom had said he was jealous, jealous because of Harry! He was a little shellshocked.
Chuckling Tom kissed him again, a little more pressure behind his lips. Harry melted and let his arms wrap around the alpha tentatively. They kissed for several moments, Tom keeping his hands at Harry's hips. It allowed Harry to gradually get comfortable with the intimacy, gave him some of the power back.
Carefully, Harry slipped his tongue out, and licked the alpha's lips. He was so embarrassed, but from the way Tom groaned, he must have enjoyed it. Tom crushed his body to his own frame, his hand tangling in Harry's raven locks.
Now their tongues danced, pulling out and slipping back in after a quick gasp of air. Their eyes caught each other's in heated glances, and their fingers curled into the others clothing.
Harry felt teeth bite down on his lower lip, he let out the most indecent moan as fire slipped down his spine, right towards his belly and below. Tom answered with his own growl, and a sharp thrust of his tongue into Harry's mouth.
The omega whimpered, and involuntary rolled his hips down. Pleasure flared throughout his body at the contact. Tom let out a dark chuckle, grabbing Harry's hips in his hands, and thrusting his own up to meet Harrys. The new friction caused Harry to throw his head back in a silent moan. Tom took that instant to attack his neck, with lips, tongue and teeth. The noises Harry was making now were beyond lewd.
"My Lord, supper is here." The bonded couple jerked apart, breath harsh, faces flushed. Harry's eyes were wild, and embarrassment flooded his system. Had they heard them?
Tom's eyes were frustrated, promising retribution to whoever had interrupted them.
"Five minutes." The alpha growled out. His voice sounded deeper then usual.
Harry felt Tom's eyes on his red face. He glanced up and flushed deeper. His alpha looked rather amused now.
"Don't laugh!" He said angerly. Smacking the man on the shoulder. Tom grabbed the appendage and kissed his wrist.
"Not laughing darling, though it was amusing." He leaned down and stole a kiss, "We were caught in the act after all, just imagine that poor beta's face if she had heard her lord's passionate moans."
Harry groaned, this time without pleasure. He was so mortified. Tom did chuckle this time, running his fingers through the younger man's hair, trying to put some order to it after their tryst.
"I'm a little disappointed." Tom continued. Harry glanced up sharply, but Tom just grinned. "I was finally getting a taste of you darling." He pulled back and winked. Harry blushed, but allowed the man to drag him into his hold.
He felt mortified, but he was a little happy that the servant had interrupted when she had. He wasn't' quite ready to go all the way with his alpha. The man had given him time after all, time to get used to the idea.
However, if Tom made him feel that marvelous all the time, he knew it would not take long for Harry to warm up to it. He smiled secretively against the man's shoulder.
On the other hand, Harry was a little upset she had interrupted, but he wanted to wait, and when it finally happened, well, he knew Tom would make it feel…magical.
I had to be completely cheesy and add the magical at the end. ROFL don't shoot me! Anyways, dinner with Tom's friends then a lovely night next chapter. Soon we will have the family acknowledgment ceremony! What do you think the twins talked to Tom about? What do you think will happen to Petunia, Vernon and Dudley? I have some ideas but I would love to hear others! Who knows, I may take the input and it will make its way into The Hunt.
Thank you again everyone for the lovely reviews, it really helps to hear what you think and that your all enjoying my story.
Till Next time!
