Chapter Five

Dear Lucius,

Things are getting back to normal, Draco came to visit and managed to return the dog to his usual self, there doesn't seem to be any lasting damage. Draco then lectured our son on the finer points of transfiguration; it only took an additional half hour to remove the tail Draco suddenly grew during the discussion. I am continually amazed at how much like you your sons are. It's like having two younger versions of you here. Even at that I still miss you terribly. Hurry home.

I love you,

Mari

As the days stretched into weeks Mari and Lucius got used to spending more and more time with each other, the more time spent allowed a greater familiarity to grow between them. Lucius showed up at the shop in the morning as always, and after Mari had done as much as she could in the half day they went to her house. It wasn't just sex, though they did spend a fair amount of time in her bed, and on the couch, and just about everywhere in the house. Mari also showed Lucius the simple things she had become accustomed to in her everyday life. She taught him about the microwave oven, and the telephone. Lucius actually enjoyed the television, once he got past the fact that it was full of brainless Muggles.

And they played with her toys. Lucius discovered that Muggle toys were fun, but he preferred to bring her to orgasm without their help, reveling in the fact that he could make her scream using only his mouth. Mari taught him that she could use the vibrator on him as well, holding it against her throat while she sucked him and sliding it along the base of his scrotum as he came.

Lucius was insatiable, Mari couldn't walk past him without being touched or pulled into his arms so he could kiss and caress her. Not that she was complaining, she loved how he couldn't seem to keep his hands off of her. One afternoon while she was trying to wash the bed linens he just would not leave her alone, "Lucius you've got to let me finish this or we won't have clean sheets on the bed," she scolded him, "and you know how much you like to dirty clean sheets."

Lucius pushed her over the dining room table where she was folding the clean laundry, "I can't wait for the bed to be made up, let's just do it here," he said while leaning over her, molding himself against her back.

Mari could feel how ready he was as he ground against her, "Can't you wait another ten minutes?"

"No," Lucius slid her jeans down, baring her backside to his hands, he stroked and kneaded the globes of her behind moving away only to run his tongue along her crack as he pulled her jeans free of her legs. "Lift your leg, Mari," as he bent her knee and braced it against the edge of the table. Mari did as she was told, placing her palms flat on the table and locking her elbows to support herself. Lucius knelt behind her pressing his face into the junction of her spread legs and licked and sucked at her outer lips, slowly working his way up to her throbbing pleasure nub, while he slowly slid his fingers in and out of her wetness.

Mari rocked back against his fingers and tongue, completely forgetting about folding laundry and enjoying the sensations he was causing, only to moan in displeasure when he stopped.

"Shh, I'm not anywhere near finished with you," he murmured as he undid his trousers letting them drop around his ankles. Placing one hand on her neck he guided his raging erection into her. Mari sighed in pleasure and as he slowly filled her she ground back against him. Lucius grasped her hip in one hand as he thrust faster. "Mari…use your hand…stroke yourself… " he gasped as his orgasm neared.

"Uhh…Lucius…if I move my hands we're both going to fall…"she panted.

Lucius slowly trailed his fingers from around her neck down the front of her body to slide against her wet folds, his fingers barely grazing her clitoris before she came, her body bucking, and her inner walls clenching around him. He thrust harder into the tightness emptying into her, before collapsing on top of her. Mari's shaking arms couldn't support his added weight, and she lost her balance sending them both to the floor. Laughing, she rolled over to look at him, "You always manage to leave me senseless."

Lucius gently smoothed a stray hair from her face, "That's my new mission in life…" as he kissed her, "…fucking you senseless."

Pulling him closer as she slid her legs around him Mari sighed, "And an admirable job your doing of it."

Waking up one morning, Mari rolled over in bed and realized that Lucius was sleeping next to her, and that this was not the first time she had woken to find him still there. She also realized that if she didn't get to the bathroom fast, she was going to throw up all over the bed. After bringing up what felt like everything she had eaten in the last ten years she brushed her teeth and showered. Standing in the bedroom doorway watching Lucius sleep, hearing his gentle snoring, she came to the conclusion that sharing her space with someone wasn't that bad.

When she had the same nausea five mornings in a row she started to worry. Not saying anything to anyone she made an appointment with her doctor and had blood tests done. The results came back positive, she was pregnant. Now she had to tell Lucius.

That afternoon when Lucius had woken up after his post sex nap Mari was waiting, "Lucius, we have to talk about something very important."

Still half asleep he reached across the bed for her, "Don't want to talk, come here Mari."

"No, we really have to talk." The tone of her voice left no doubt how serious she was.

Lucius sat up and gave her his full attention, "Talk."

Now that he was listening, she wasn't sure where to start so she just blurted it out, "I'm pregnant!"

Lucius wasn't sure how to react to that, and Mari could see the conflicting emotions flicker across his face, from disbelief to anger. But when he spoke he was very calm, "Well, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise considering how often we've fucked. When?"

"In about six months, it must have happened almost the first time," she turned away from his penetrating gaze and added, "I don't want to have it."

"What do you mean you don't want it? That is my child you are talking about."

"Yes, Lucius, your half Muggle child, what do you call them…..oh yes, do you really want a mudblood child bearing your name?"

That stopped him for a moment, "Marianna, any child of mine is special, of course I want it."

"Lucius think about this, I am thirty-three years old, don't you think I would have already had children if I wanted them? There is a reason I don't have any. I don't like children."

Lucius looked shocked, "How can you not like children? And you say I'm heartless."

"I guess I like them okay, I just never wanted any of my own. I have a hard enough time taking care of myself let alone someone else."

Lucius got out of bed and pulled her into his arms, "You won't be alone, I'll help you."

"How much help were you with the one you already have? From everything I've heard you are not exactly a "hands on" parent," she snapped at him.

Lucius sighed, "That's true, but I'm older now and I realize there are more important things in life than my own pleasure."

Mari put her hands on his shoulders and forced him away from her, "More things in life than your own pleasure. That's really funny coming from the man who still shows up at the shop smelling of whatever tramp he spent the night with. You don't care about anything but your own pleasure!"

"You know about the others?"

Mari gave a humorless bark of laughter, "Of course I know about them, how stupid do you think I am?" And seeing the look on his face she hastily added, "Don't answer that. I must be pretty damn stupid to allow you back knowing what a slut you are."

"No…you are not stupid…I'm not sure what your reasoning is," he put his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him. "I am amazed that you take me back."

"Yeah, well I damn sure don't know why I do. I must love you."

"You do not!"

Looking into his eyes she nodded, "Um, I'm not sure why, you certainly don't deserve it, but I do love you."

"Then why would you even consider not having my child?"

"I'm afraid."

Running his hands through her hair he tilted her head back so he could see her eyes, "Afraid of what?"

"Everything. I'm afraid to have a baby at this stage in my life, afraid that you'll leave me alone to raise a half witch or wizard child," she stopped blinking back the tears that had formed in her eyes, "mostly I'm afraid you'll leave me," she managed to choke out before bursting into sobs.

Lucius pulled her close stroking her back and smoothing her hair out of her face. "I won't leave you."

"Yes, you will."

"Mari, listen to me, I will not leave you."

"Lucius you will, once you get bored or as soon as your forced stay at the shop is over, you'll be gone."

Lucius grasped her face in his hands forcing her to meet his eyes, "Marianna, I promise you I will not leave you, or my child.

"How can you promise that, you have a family that is your first responsibility. My half Muggle child and I won't have any hold over you."

"I will not abandon my child, or its mother." Lucius released his hold on her and turned away shaking his head, "Do you think I am so heartless that I would walk away from my own flesh and blood?"

"I don't know what to think, I keep hearing what an awful person you are, how cruel and ruthless, not that I've seen any evidence of it." She paused gathering her thoughts, "Still, just because I've not seen it doesn't mean that side of you does not exist."

"Alright Marianna, what if I make sure that you are always going to be safe and protected? I will guarantee that even if I am not around you and the baby will be taken care of, you'll never want for anything, for the rest of your lives. Will that make you feel better?"

"Money isn't everything, Lucius."

"No, but it can make your life much easier. Besides, I intend to be around for a very long time." He crossed the room to take her into his arms, " You are not going to rid yourself of me that easily."

Leaning back to see his face, trying to read the look she found there, Mari replied, "I'm still worried, I'm way too old to be having children."

"You'll be fine, I'll be here all the way."

"You'd better be." Before she knew it, they were back on the bed, Lucius kissing and stroking her. Mari lay back watching as he kissed his way down her body, smiling slightly at the time he spent stroking and licking her belly, she couldn't quite catch what he was murmuring as he moved across the still surface that was their baby. Who would have thought that Lucius would be so accepting of the child she was carrying. He continued to kiss and stroke her as he rolled them over so she could straddle him.

"Shouldn't put all my weigh on you," he continued kissing her, "don't want to hurt the baby."

Mari pulled him back on top of her, "The baby is hardly more than a bump at this stage," she wrapped her legs around his back, "besides, I like it best when you are on top of me."

Lucius stopped kissing and looked at her, "Why?"

Mari buried her face in his neck, biting gently between words, "I don't know….I just like to feel all of you covering me…" he slid into her hot wetness, slowly thrusting, "…harder, Lucius….I want it to feel like…"

"…Feel like what?" He pushed her legs up till her knees were touching her shoulders as he thrust harder.

"….Ummm…like that…yes…like you're…ahhh…" as her orgasm overtook her she lost the ability to form words.

Unable to hold out against the spasms that were shaking her, Lucius collapsed against her as his own orgasm drained him. Turning onto his side, keeping her with him, he brushed his hair off her face, and "Mari…" she opened her eyes, meeting his gaze, "…you want it to feel like what?"

"Like you're fucking me through the bed." She kissed him, "…exactly like you just did."
