Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
When she woke up the following morning Fleur had to smile at how they had ended up. She was cuddled into him with her head resting on his chest and one of her legs slung over both of his.
Last night's dinner had been wonderful and Fabian had already perfectly integrated himself into her family, judging by her mother's and grandmother's reactions. They already seemed to adore him and she felt that the feeling was mutual.
Her father had also really warmed up to him, and Fabian on his turn had already latched onto him as a father figure, something she knew he clearly lacked in his life, even though she knew his mothers deeply loved him and had raised him very well.
She gently trailed her hand down his defined abdomen and smiled as she felt the outline of his erection tenting his boxers. It was very impressive to say the least and she couldn't wait to feel the real thing for herself, which raised another question for her. She didn't even know if he was a virgin or not.
Feeling her lover stir a little she rested her head back on his chest, deciding against teasing him for now, but she was sure before they would go to England, she would make him hers in every way. "Good morning lover. 'ow did you sleep?" She asked softly.
He smiled as he opened his eyes. "Hey love, I slept amazing. Did you sleep okay too?"
She nodded and kissed him softly. "Amazing as I always sleep when I am next to you, and I like the way I woke up even more. We are going to 'ave a lot of fun in these next few weeks."
Not really awake enough to get the obvious hint, he just smiled at her. "Did I do something special then, because if I did, it was no trouble."
She grinned and straddled him. "I was talking about that more than impressive morning erection of yours. I can't wait to feel it inside of me." She said huskily.
He groaned softly and pulled her down into a kiss. "As much as I would love to, I don't think I am ready to go that far yet, my love. I wouldn't want to screw up on our first time."
She smiled at him. "I don't think you could do anything wrong, but I am willing to wait until you are ready. I would 'ate to upset you."
"You could never upset me, ma cherí, and I am sure it won't be long before I am ready. You are very difficult to resist, especially when I can now basically see everything." He said with a soft smile.
She smiled and kissed him softly. "If you want to see even more and without the boundaries of this thin top, I certainly wouldn't be opposed.
Fabian smiled at her. "Perhaps that is a good way to familiarize ourselves with each others bodies."
"Hmm, I would like that very much." She purred in a husky tone.
Fabian smiled and kissed her softly as he let his hands travel under the thin fabric of her top, trailing the smooth expanse of her stomach and back softly.
Fleur moaned softly and deepened the kiss almost on instinct, returning the favor to her lover.
It was only when there was a timid knock on the door that they broke apart, smiling dreamily at each other. "Come on in Gabby, we're mostly decent." Fleur said in French.
The petite blonde poked her head in the door and smiled at them. "Maman and Papa asked me to tell you that breakfast will be served in fifteen minutes."
Fleur smiled at her. "Thank you Gabby, we'll be down shortly."
Gabrielle nodded and flashed her sister a wink before closing the door and leaving them to their own devices.
"I guess we shouldn't keep them waiting, Maman can be quite strict when it comes to meal times, but we will definitely continue this later today." She said before kissing him again.
He smiled at her. "Your mother and mine have a lot in common it seems. She always is very strict with meal times and most other things as well, but I would gladly take a rain check on making out with you."
Fleur smiled and got off him and out of the bed, stretching herself so that her mate had something to look at.
Seeing her in her baby blue thong and thin tank top was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, and he had to use every bit of his already considerable willpower not to embarrass himself, even more so as she slowly pulled the top off and put on a somewhat darker bra.
Knowing what was coming next, he quickly got out of bed and made his way over to his trunk to get dressed himself, since unpacking had been an afterthought yesterday.
Fleur couldn't resist sneaking a glance at her mate as he got dressed, and she had to bite back a moan at his strong frame in all its naked glory. She just knew they were going to have a lot of fun these couple of weeks, even if it was going to be difficult to go slow with him.
Tearing her eyes away from her lover, quickly finished getting dressed, taking a seat on the edge of the bed while she watched her lover do the same.
Sensing his girlfriend's gaze upon his back, he also quickly finished getting dressed, when his eye fell to the ancient book in his trunk, knowing more research had to be done soon.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting my love." He said with a soft smile.
Fleur smiled and stood to kiss him. "I didn't mind waiting a bit love, I certainly enjoyed the view."
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "I can easily say the same, ma cherí. You are absolutely gorgeous."
"I have been told that before, but hearing it from you makes it sound like more of a compliment than an expectation of more." She said with a soft smile.
He only smiled and kissed her softly. "To me you will always be more than that, my love. You mean everything to me."
She smiled at that. "You mean everything to me too, my love, but I think we should head down, otherwise we might be late for breakfast, and that is something Maman will not stand for yet."
He nodded and hooked his arm with hers as they made their way downstairs towards the den where breakfast would be served.
…
After breakfast Apoline and Juliette held the couple back, since Gabrielle and Jean-Paul were going to Paris for the day. "So, 'ow was your first real night together?" Apoline asked with a kind smile.
Fleur smiled at her, knowing the meaning behind her words. "It was liberating to know that we wouldn't be interrupted, but we fell asleep almost as soon as we 'it our pillows."
"Zat is to be expected mon tresor, given 'ow little sleep you 'ave gotten over ze last few days, and it was obvious to me zat your mate 'ad the same issues." Juliette said with a loving smile.
Fabian nodded at that. "That is most certainly true. I was lucky to have an hour of sleep for those two days of separation."
"We just want you to know zat you two 'ave all the freedom in your time here. Our worries were settled when we found out you were mated, so you two can do anything you want while you stay 'ere." Apoline said with a smile.
That brought a smile to both Fleur and Fabian's faces. "Merci Maman. That means a lot to us."
Apoline smiled at her daughter. "Like I said mon tresor. Our worries were soothed when you found your mate. We know zat ze pull you both feel is undeniable and very strong. We know what will 'appen and we are okay with it, as long as you remember our customs."
"I can also feel zere is something more between you, and I 'ave felt a presence zat I 'aven't ever felt before, but is some'ow familiar to me. You might want to research zat." Juliette added with a smile.
Fabian looked a bit confused about that, but his worries were soon soothed by his mate. "Gran-mere sees things that others cannot because she is a full Veela, do you know what she might mean?"
He smiled and nodded. "I was given an ancient book by my mothers that might explain those things, but honestly I haven't looked at it yet. I was hoping we could do that together."
Fleur smiled and nodded. "I would love to, is it okay if we use the library for today, Maman?"
Apoline smiled and nodded. "Zat is more than fine, Fleur, but let your gran-mere see this book at some point, she might be able to give some insight as well, am I right Maman?" She asked Juliette.
Juliette nodded. "Oui, if I see it I might recognize its origins and contents."
Fleur and Fabian smiled at that. "We will Juliette, thank you for allowing us this time."
"You are family now Fabian, so please call me Gran-mere. Everyone else in zis family does." Juliette said with a smile.
"I will certainly try, but I do hope you forgive me if I slip up. I was raised to respect my elders." He said kindly.
Juliette smiled at him. "Of course I will. You make mon tresor 'appy, and zat in turn makes me 'appy."
Fabian and Fleur smiled at the two women before making their way to her bedroom, so he could get his book. "What do you think could be in that book, mon amour?"
"I honestly don't know, my love. I never even knew this book existed until my mothers showed it to me a few days ago. It could literally be anything, but whatever it holds, it will not diminish my love for you, because I really do love you Fleur, even if I was afraid of saying it up until now." He said softly.
She smiled brightly and pushed him against the wall as soon as they were in her room, kissing him deeply. "I love you too Fabian, more than anything in the world, but I do 'ope you know that you won't have to afraid to admit your feelings to me. I chose you for a reason beyond the fact that you 'ave an amazing body. I felt you were the one the moment I sat down next to you back in October. You have always been the one for me."
He smiled and kissed her. "That means a lot to me, my love, and now that I have admitted my feelings to you, I will never be afraid again."
Fleur smiled and let him grab his book before they made their way to the library, where they would have more privacy than anywhere else in the house, especially after her mother and grandmother had given their blessing in them exploring their relationship however they wanted.
When they entered the library, Fleur led him to her own private corner, which had a very comfortable couch and had an amazing view to the immense garden, but had complete privacy of the rest of the library. "Do you like the décor, mon amour?" She asked with a soft smile.
He smiled at her. "I do, it is very private and will definitely help with our studies."
Fleur smiled and kissed her mate softly. "I'm glad you like it, my love, because no one will disturb us 'ere. We can get even more comfortable."
He smiled at that. "I didn't know you were such an exhibitionist, my love."
She smiled flirtatiously at him. "Now you do, but I 'ope you know that I am still okay with going at your pace."
"My last worries ended when I said that I love you, I'm ready for anything."
She smiled and pulled off her shirt, pulling his off afterwards. "For the sake of our first time being in an actual bed, I will keep it to this. But I just need to be as close as possible to you right now, and that will involve a lot of skin to skin contact."
He smiled and pulled her into his lap, so that she was effectively straddling him. "I want the same, ma cherí, and your skin on mine feels absolutely amazing."
"The same goes for me, my love. I would do even more if you are okay with it." She said softly.
He only nodded and smiled as she reached behind her and unclasped her baby blue bra, revealing her naked breasts to her mate for the first time, and she couldn't help but blush a little.
He carefully palmed one and caressed it. "So perfect, so beautiful. I can't believe I have denied my feelings for so long."
She moaned softly at his ministrations. "Don't beat yourself up over it, mon amour. I'm just glad you appreciate my body."
He smiled and kissed her softly. "Honestly love, I have lusted after you since the first time we shared a bed together."
"It was the same for me love. I really can't wait for us to share everything." She said with a husky tone.
He saw in her darkened eyes that she barely contained her lust for him, and honestly it was the same for him. Having her this close without a top on did his control no favors. "Love, as much as I would like to do this now, could we wait until tonight when we have a soft mattress beneath us?"
She nodded and cuddled herself into his side, placing a soft kiss on her cheek. "I 'ave a feeling we are going to be addicted to each other really fast. I might have to apologize to your mothers after all."
He smiled at her as he opened the book, and just looking at the title made them both gasp. 'Secrets of the Coven.' by Phineas Nigellus Black, 1875
"That already sounds like it could mean a lot of things, wouldn't you agree mon amour?" Fleur asked softly.
He nodded at that. "I know that he is an ancient ancestor of my mother and Aunts, but I never heard anything about him being a part of a Coven."
Fleur smiled softly at him. "We should take this to Gran-mere before we read more. She might know 'ow to interpret it."
Again he nodded at her. "We should, if this means what I think it does, we might need multiple view points. We might also need to Floo my mothers about this, and why they gave this book to me."
Fleur smiled and gave him a kiss before she put her top on, not bothering with her bra for now, while Fabian put his own shirt back on.
They then took the book and made their way to the Solarium, which is where Juliette usually spent her days in the summer when she had no further obligations.
…
They knocked on the door softly and entered when acknowledged. "Zat was quick, young ones. What can I do for you?" Juliette asked with a smile.
Fleur smiled and led her lover to the couch. "We 'aven't actually start reading yet, but the title alone raised plenty of questions.
Juliette smiled at them as they handed her the book, her eyes widening when she saw the title. "Where did you get zis Fabian?" She asked softly.
"My mothers gave it to me before I left. I had never seen it before that day." He said honestly.
She nodded faintly and stood to walk towards her own bookcase, searching for a minute before pulling out a similar book. "Zis was written by my great Gran-mere. She was mated to one Phineas Nigellus Black and two ozer women. That you have zis book and can actually read the title means zat you are a direct descendant from 'im. It seems the fates have deemed the forming of a new Coven necessary, come and sit, I will tell you what I know."
They nodded and sat down next to her. "What I am about to tell you, 'as been entrusted to me by my great Gran-mere, only to be revealed when a new Coven was to be formed. I would have passed zis on to your mother eventually when I would feel my end was near, but it seems now I don't need to. The Coven as it is known has existed for many centuries and it has always consisted of four people, one man and three women, all 'aving been through some kind of tragedy in their lives, and it has always existed in the same families, namely ours the Delacours, the Black family and the Lovegood family. The Coven always formed to combat some kind of zreat and no one could break zem apart. If it is true zat you two are part of the new Coven, you will in time find your remaining mates and your dormant abilities will show itself, but only when you are complete as a Coven."
Fabian and Fleur shared a look at that. "That is a lot of information, but how will this book help us?" He asked softly.
"Zese books will grant you insight on what your predecessors did, and now it falls to you, Fleur and your other mates to fill its pages furzer. Each Coven has added to its pages, so you might find more information on what your potential gifts are. Our copy is now yours, Fleur. Use it well and I do 'ope your Coven will be complete soon. You both deserve to be 'appy." She said with a kind smile.
Fleur and Fabian smiled at her and then at each other, knowing who at least one of their remaining mates was. "Merci, Gran-mere, we shall cherish and study this information."
"Don't mention it, mon tresor. Eet was my joy and duty to 'elp you. We suspected something when you told us about your mate, but we could not be sure, and it seemed your parents felt the same zing." Juliette said with a kind smile.
They nodded and gave the elder Veela a hug before making their way back to the library.
When they sat down in their corner again, Fleur cuddled up to her lover. "It seems your little sister gets to be more to both of us, my love." She said softly.
He smiled and kissed her softly. "It seems so, and she on her turn gets the boy of her dreams as well. I think no one could have seen this coming, aside from my mothers and your grandmother."
Fleur smiled at that as she waved her wand to remove their shirts again. "Do you still want to read the books now love, or did you want to wait for a bit longer?" She asked softly.
"Whatever you want, mon amour. I can understand it is a lot of information that we have learned today." He said with a soft smile.
She smiled at him. "The sooner we start learning about this, the sooner we can find out who our remaining mate is, and we can tell Luna more about this when we see 'er."
He nodded and smiled as they repositioned themselves on the couch so they could read the same book together in comfort.
"It seems the gifts that are dormant in the Coven mates are the same each time. It has a Healer, a Seer, an Empath and a Telepath. I wonder what ours will be." Fleur said after they had read a few chapters.
He smiled and kissed her softly. "Gran-mere said that we won't even know until the Coven is complete, so I think we should let things run its course, but I am curious about something love. Gran-mere said that the Covens before us went through something tragic. Did something happen to you before?"
She nodded and wrapped his arms around her waist, needing to feel him close. "I was often sick as a child, to the point I almost died, but I didn't give up and I lived because of it. The doctors never did find out what was wrong with me or what caused that illness. It was just gone from one day to the next."
"And they never found a cause? How old were you if I may ask?" He asked softly.
"I got sick just after my first birthday, and I was sick well over nine months." She said as she cuddled deeper into his embrace.
He nodded and rocked them softly, placing soft reassuring kisses to the back of her neck. "I'm so glad you found the strength to get better, and I wish there was something I could have done to help you."
She smiled and turned around in his arms. "The strength to fight is something ingrained in our family. Because of our nature we are classified as magical creatures and carry a mark until we are of age. It is a monitoring charm that lets the Ministry track us wherever we are, but you don't 'ave to worry, since I am seventeen, both marks are gone now."
He smiled and kissed her. "I for one think it is an outrage that those marks should be in effect against Veela. You shouldn't be followed like some sort of threat."
She smiled and nuzzled his neck. "I know, but that's just the way of the world. It is gone now and I can live my life the way I want, with the man I 'ave chosen."
"I think it's hot that I'm dating an older woman though, but we should probably talk about the obvious too. Are you okay with all of this? I can imagine it must be quite the revelation after thinking that we were the only ones for each other." He said with a loving smile.
She smiled at him. "I'm okay with it. I knew we had something special from the first time I saw you, and I should 'ave known something more was going on from the moment I didn't react to Luna like I did to Hermione in the beginning. Usually a Veela is very protective of their mate and will keep other women away. I did feel a bit of jealousy towards Luna, but it was not near the normal amount that a Veela should feel towards a perceived threat against our mate."
"I'm glad that you warmed up to Hermione eventually. She is my best friend after Luna and has always made me sure to keep me on my schedule, and she was the first one after Luna that was okay with our relationship." He said with as soft smile.
Fleur smiled and kissed him. "I know, but that is why I know that there was more to Luna, because I accepted her sooner than I did 'ermione."
He smiled at that. "That is most certainly true, but I think we'll see plenty of Luna during our time at my mothers' home. I just know she'll want to know all about you."
Fleur merely smiled and relaxed against him. "Would you mind taking a nap with me love?"
"Of course I wouldn't mind, mon amour. I would love to hold you close while we sleep, especially since we're both partially clothed." He said with a soft smile.
"Then you will absolutely love tonight, when we fall asleep naked against each other." She said before closing her eyes.
He smiled and kissed the top of her head before wrapping his arms around her waist and following her in their nap.
…
Later that night after dinner, Fabian and Fleur were back in her room, the two lovers sitting on the bed, not really knowing how to proceed with tonight.
Fleur took his hand and smiled at him. "Want to take a shower first love?"
He smiled and nodded. "I would love that, because I'm a bit at a loss on how to proceed."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "So am I, but I think taking a shower together will 'elp us enough. There is no pressure tonight."
He nodded and followed her to her en-suite bathroom, which was just as luxurious as the rest of her room, with a double bath and gigantic shower stall. "I think I need to up my game a little, my bathroom back at home is nowhere near this big."
She smiled and kissed him. "You don't 'ave to change anything for me, my love. I just know that money will never be an issue for us, because if I remember correctly, your family is quite affluent as well."
"That they are, but my mothers refuse to let that fact show too much outside of our home." He said with a soft smile.
She smiled and waved her wand to start the shower, pulling her shirt off afterwards.
Not wanting to be left behind, Fabian quickly followed suit, pulling off his shirt before he let his hand go to his belt, only to be stopped by his mate. "I was 'oping you would let me undress you, mon amour."
He nodded and kissed her as she loosened his belt, moving on to lower the zipper and popping the button open, smiling as his pants slid down his legs, leaving him in his boxers. "I would love to return the favor, my love."
"By all means love." She said before kissing him again, while he popped the buttons of her pants, sliding the skintight jeans off her gorgeous body slowly, revealing the baby blue thong.
"You really have a thing for blue, don't you love?" He asked softly.
She blushed and nodded at him. "I always 'ad a thing for the color blue, and seeing that your eyes are blue as well only helps with that favoritism."
He smiled at that. "Well my eyes used to be even lighter, but I think I will end up with a bit of an in between blue/green color."
She smiled and pulled her lover close. "I absolutely love turquoise, mon amour. But you could have red eyes and I would still love you more than anything in the world, but we 'ave put this off too long already. I want you and I can see you want the same. You don't have to be afraid."
"I am not afraid anymore my love. I just don't know how to proceed." He said before kissing her softly.
"Then follow my lead, mon amour. I will teach you everything you need to know on 'ow to pleasure a woman." She said as she pulled down his underwear, gasping softly as his semi erect cock sprung free.
"Oh la la. Now I am sure there is nothing you can do wrong, mon amour. A dick this size is a girl's dream." She said as she stroked it almost reverently.
He groaned softly and kissed her. "Shall we take our shower then ma cherí. Because I can't wait to feel you too."
She smiled and kissed him before taking off her underwear, stepping under the spray afterwards. "Still nervous, mon amour?"
He shook his head and picked her up by her hips so that she could wrap her legs around his waist, and he could kiss her properly. "No, I am not nervous anymore. I just want to love you like you deserve to be loved."
She moaned softly as she ground against his rapidly hardening cock. "As much as I would love to explore in 'ow many ways we can love each other in the shower, I do agree with you that our first time should be in a bed, but making out like this is more than okay with me."
Fabian smiled and kissed her softly. "Then we can treat this as a nice foreplay. I intend to get very intimately acquainted with your body."
"Like I will do with yours my love, and I can't wait to explore every inch of your gorgeous body." She said softly.
With that said she loosened her legs from his waist and kissed him softly as he let her back to her feet, and Fleur wasted no time in grabbing her loofah and soaping him up.
Fabian reveled in the attention his girlfriend was giving him, and had to resist the urge to pout when she was done, and as he returned the favor, he had to resist the urge to go further and make her scream, and while he was a virgin, his Aunt Bellatrix and cousin Nymphadora had taught him exactly what he needed to do to please a woman, and tonight he was going to implement those lessons.
Their shower lasted well over an hour, and when they finally got out and dried themselves magically, they were both more than ready to ravage each other, and therefor Fabian wasted no time in picking her up bridal style to carry her to the bed, laying her down gently as he hovered over her, and Fleur on her turn had to fight the urge to cover herself. "You are so absolutely gorgeous, ma cherí. I can't believe I am mated to you."
She smiled at him. "You better believe it, mon amour. This will be our life from now on. With only one more literal barrier left to break, please be gentle with me, it's my first time too."
He smiled and kissed her softly. "I promise to be gentle love, the last thing I want is to hurt you, even if it's unavoidable tonight."
"I like a little pain with my pleasure, but we can explore that plenty in the coming weeks." She said softly.
He smiled and kissed his way down her body, paying special attention to all the places that made her squirm the most, and when he reached the apex of her thighs, he couldn't help but kiss her just above the soft tangle of hair above her already soaking pussy. "You smell absolutely divine, my love. I can't wait to taste you."
She smiled at him. "One thing you will learn about having a Veela lover, is that they need a certain bit of control, so if you are okay with it, I will taste you first before you get to have your fun."
"I have read a bit more about the Veela while you were taking your nap, and I would love to see you take control tonight, as long as you let me do the same at times."
She nodded and moaned as he kissed his way back up her body, before she flipped them and started stroking him to his full hardness, which now that she really felt it, felt even bigger then she originally thought.
She then flashed him a wink as she slid down his body and started sucking his impressive length. She already loved the slightly salty taste and she knew she could easily get addicted to his taste.
She took her time in pleasuring him and she felt how her inner Veela for once took a step back in her lust, and it was enough for her to kiss her way back up his body. "You've done something amazing, my love. You are the first one to tame a Veela without having been inside one."
"Does that mean I get a reward, love?" He asked with heavy suggestion in his voice.
As an answer she spread her legs for him. "You 'ave certainly earned it, come and get your dessert, my love." She said huskily.
He smiled and kissed her quickly before kissing his way down her body again, wasting no further time in eating his lover out, both of them moaning loudly, for different reasons. For Fleur it was the pleasure he was bringing her, and for him it was her divine taste.
He paid much attention to her movements and breathing, wanting this to last for the both of them now that they had finally taken this step.
When he kissed his way back up her body and smiled at her, she pulled him into a kiss. "Did you enjoy dessert, mon amour?" She asked softly.
He only nodded at her. "I did, but I think we're ready for the main course."
She nodded and pushed him to his back. "I hope you won't mind me being on top, that way I can make sure there will be minimal pain."
"I don't mind love, I would like this first time to be as enjoyable as possible for the both of us, I just hope you won't mind me not lasting as long, with this being my first time." He said softly.
Fleur smiled and slowly lowered herself onto him. "One thing that might be useful is that our Mating Bond recognizes that we are not ready for children, so it's safe to cum inside of me all you want."
He smiled and groaned softly in time with her loud moan as he broke through her hymen. "You're so tight, cherí. I love being inside of you."
She smiled at him. "And I love 'ow big you are. No one could ever fill me like you do."
"I'm glad for that, because I will not share you with any other man, only our two mates when we find them." He said softly.
She kissed him as she sought a rhythm they could both enjoy, and judging by the sounds that came out of her mate, she was doing something right.
Because it was their first time together and all the teasing they had already done to each other, it didn't take them long to moan out their orgasms, the two lovers falling asleep soon after Fabian had pulled out of her, although Fleur was still on his chest.
