Chapter 4- The real lady of the house
Alexia swallowed and let him kiss her again. It was amazing how he made her heart speed up. He kissed expertly, waiting for her to return it. When she did he smiled and lay her back against the bed and his chest. He pulled away and looked down at her. His lips tasted of a bitter rum but his eyes showed he wasn't drunk. He pulled her nightshirt over her head and removed the rest of her garments. He ran a hand down her neck to her breasts and her stomach. She shivered and looked in his eyes. They were dark with desire and she knew he was trying to restrain himself.
"This is going to be..."
But she never found out what it was going to be. His kiss was meltingly sweet, she was lost to the rhythm of his heartbeat. Her hands explored his bare back as he kissed her neck. His weight was comforting against her. She felt right with him. His kisses grew more passionate and intoxicating. Her mind was lost to anything but the feel of his skin against hers. Lucius was gentle...sweet...he took her slowly to that place between earth and heaven and then together they crashed down to the burning hot center of the earth. It was a heavenly kind of sin. She held onto the bed sheets when he started up again. He whispered into her ear things that eased her into an almost trance-like state.
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Lucius was lost, he gasped and moaned repeatedly. He shook the hair out of his eyes and rested his forehead against hers. He listened to her breathing, felt her chest rise with his and knew she was feeling what he felt. He sighed and kissed her as he moved in deeper. Her nails dug into his back as she arched her back to meet his thrusting. He moved slowly at first then faster and sharper. They were sweating with all the heat being generated between them. Her legs wrapped themselves around his waist and she began to move with him. He threw his head back and called out when he reached his peak. A few seconds later she reached hers and her walls clamped around his member, he felt a relapse, more powerful than the last. He breathed heavily and laughed as he collapsed onto her. He shook the hair out of his eyes again.
"That was..."
He caught his breath.
"...amazing..."
He rolled off her and ran a hand through his hair. His head was lost somewhere among the clouds. He felt the cool night breeze come in through the window. Although what they did was wrong on so many levels. It felt good. It felt natural and pure. Lucius found himself looking into her eyes. She looked back into his and he knew she was shaken up, and so was he. He was pleased with himself and with her. She was a virgin but her instincts were strong. She was willing to learn all he could teach her. Lucius brought his hand up to her face and caressed her cheek softly. He brushed her lips and smiled.
"You know Alexandria Lynne....I think I could fall for you."
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Lucius smiled nonchalantly all next day. Narcissa watched him through narrowed eyes. He merely smiled at her when she asked what his good mood was all about. Alexia finally left her room and he found her in the library. He walked over to her and put his arms around her.
"Hello."
She smiled and looked back at him.
"Hi."
"How'd you sleep?"
"Good."
"Mmm..."
He turned her towards him and pulled her at arms length. She smiled.
"What?"
Lucius softened his gaze.
"Nothing...its just...you're beautiful."
Alexia blushed and that only made him want her more. She went into his arms and embraced him. He was startled for an instant but he held her back and was overwhelmed with warmth. She pulled away smiling and left the room. He found it hard to concentrate on his paper work and when his arm burned he wanted nothing more than to turn the other way. He knew he had to go. He took a second to clear his mind but all he could think of was having Alexia in his arms. He felt the first warning hit him and he quickly disapparated.
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Narcissa fumed. She was not at ease with having another woman in her home. She knew that the Ouvertcoeur girl was Lucius' new mistress. She didn't care, she had her own lovers. What worried her was that Lucius seemed to be losing his head over her. He was flaunting her as if she were his wife and that struck Narcissa's pride. The girl had been with them for nearly a month and she still took dinner in her room. It pleased Narcissa. She didn't consider her a guest, just a servant. A whore who took care of her husband's needs. She often heard them in the night and it disgusted her. Narcissa was not allowed to bring men into the house.
'At least she knows her place.'
Narcissa stepped into the dinning room and her mouth dropped open to see the girl sitting on Lucius' right hand. Lucius looked up to see her and smirked. Narcissa composed herself and took her seat at his left.
"Good evening Lucius."
She flicked her napkin open and lay it across her legs. She felt Lucius cold stare on her. She looked up at him questioningly.
"Have you forgotten your manners?"
Narcissa looked at the girl indifferently. She rose her eyes to Narcissa but lowered them just a quickly. Narcissa smirked.
"Good evening Alicia."
"Good evening Mrs. Malfoy."
Narcissa wanted to laugh, it was perfect. But Lucius cleared his throat.
"Her name, is Alexandria."
Lucius reached out for the girl's hand. He took it and kissed it.
"Lexy...you may call her Ms. Black. Or Narcissa."
The girl rose her eyes to Lucius' and blushed, she then turned to Narcissa.
"If its alright with you madam."
Narcissa nodded indifferently. Their dinner arrived and Narcissa ate silently. She didn't miss the secret smiles they cast each other.
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Lucius loved to play with her hair. They lay on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Her head was on his lap and she was humming some song. He looked down at her and she smiled. He found her adorably innocent. Alexia reached up and ran a hand through his hair. He closed her eyes and when he opened them again, her face was close to his. Her eyes boring into his own.
"Narcissa doesn't like me much huh?"
Lucius traced her chin with his fingers.
"No...but that doesn't matter."
"I know that she hates me for just being here. And for taking you away and for....breathing."
Lucius chuckled.
"Love..."
He pulled her up and sat her down on his lap.
"This is my house. And I want to share it with you. Not her. She never had me to begin with. So you didn't take me away from her. And as for breathing..."
Lucius kissed her and felt her stop her breath. She pulled away to breathe and he smiled. She grinned and threw her arms around him.
"God, I love you."
Lucius froze. He wanted to hold her back but he couldn't move. He didn't realize he'd stopped breathing until he let out a long sigh. She heard it and pulled away. She looked into his eyes with the cutest frown he had ever seen on her.
"What's wrong?"
Lucius stared at her. He sighed.
"Lets not talk about love."
Instantly the light of her eyes died.
"You...it...I was just..."
Alexia bit her lip and got off him. She wrapped her arms around herself and walked away. Lucius took her arm. He met her eyes desperately.
"I'm sorry. Its just that...hearing you say it back. It..."
"Scared you?"
Lucius was surprised to find himself nodding.
"So you never loved me?"
"I did. I do. I still...I need time. I've never felt like this, so strongly, about anyone before."
Alexia smiled softly.
"Neither have I."
Lucius held her. She held onto him and he took in the scent of her hair. It always seemed to smell of honeysuckle. He kissed the top of her head. She pulled away and led him to the sofa. He sat down and she lay her head on his lap again. He looked down at her.
"I want to know everything about you."
She snuggled in close and he smiled.
"About me?"
She nodded.
"Why?"
"I don't know much about you. But I'd like to."
Lucius smiled.
"All right. Where do I start?"
She smiled wider.
"As far back as you can remember. First tell me who you are."
Lucius rose and eyebrow.
"All right."
He bit his lip and looked up at the ceiling.
"My name is Lucius and I'm 26 years old."
"Yaowza."
She grinned and he pushed her playfully.
"I'm not old. What about you?"
"I'm 20."
"Yaowzaaa."
"Heeeeyyy..."
She laughed. Lucius kissed her hand.
"So where was I?"
"You were saying you're really really old."
Lucius gave her a playful scowl.
"I was saying....um...my father died about 6 years ago. My mom died when I was born. I grew up here. With my governess. I saw my father very few times but...he left an impression."
Alexia slid her hands into his unbuttoned shirt and touched an old scar under his right rib. He nodded and looked in her eyes. She mouthed 'I'm sorry'. Lucius kissed her softly on the lips. He continued to speak and watched her close her eyes. Soon her breathing eased and he knew she was sleeping. Lucius took her in his arms and carried her to the west bedroom. He set her down on the bed and covered her with the sheets. He watched her sleeping and wished he could wake her, but he knew he shouldn't. He wanted to hold her and be with her. Somehow, being with her made him feel so much more alive. And he knew she felt what he felt when they were together. When he wasn't with her he felt empty and incomplete. He wanted more than her body, he wanted her company and he was grateful to have her love.
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Alexia was falling, no, crashing into love. Lucius was the most amazing man she had ever met. He was passionate and he seemed to want, even need, her company. Alexia sat up in bed and stretched with a soft groan, she sighed and looked around. Lucius wasn't there. She found him eating breakfast on his own. Alexia wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek softly.
"Morning."
Lucius turned his face towards hers and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Morning."
She grinned and took her place beside him.
"Isn't it kinda early?"
He nodded and took a sip of his juice. He met her eyes.
"I'm going to have to leave you here for a while."
Alexia dropped her fork.
"What? Me here? Alone?"
"Narcissa will–"
"Tear me apart! She'll kill me!"
Lucius smiled.
"Don't be ridiculous. She wouldn't touch you."
"Lucius..."
"Listen to me. You are my woman."
Alexia smiled and blushed. He smiled too.
"She can't hurt you. Even if she tried. Don't worry, its not like you're unprotected."
They finished breakfast and she followed him out to the foyer. She held his chest protectively like a child. He pulled her away gently.
"This is your house. You are the Lady of the house. You are Lady Malfoy."
He pulled her in with one arm for a last kiss. In the end she had to hold onto to him for support. She didn't want him to go. She pulled him back and kissed him. He dropped his bag and wrapped both arms around her. He pulled away and looked in her eyes. She traced his strong jaw line.
"Don't go..."
Lucius kissed her again then let her go and picked up his things.
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
He kissed her quickly and looked at the staircase. He looked back to Alexia and smiled.
"Remember what I told you."
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Narcissa watched the whole nauseating display with an upturned nose. As soon as Lucius left Narcissa swooped down the stairs. Alexia looked at her and shifted her eyes.
"What are you still doing here?"
Alexia walked past her and up the stairs. Narcissa took her by the arm brashly.
"You have no right to be here!"
Alexia pulled her arm back and met Narcissa's eyes.
"I don't have to answer to you."
"This is my domain. I won't have some whore–"
"I won't have you insulting me. I am here because Lucius wants me here. This is his house."
"I am Lady Malfoy–"
"You are not Lady Malfoy. You aren't even a Lady."
Narcissa was stunned. Alexia walked past her and made her way to the east room. Narcissa recovered and followed her.
"How dare you?! How dare you say that–"
"Ms. Black, I'll stay out of your way and then you won't have any problems. All I ask is your abstention of my quarters."
Narcissa was even more shocked when Alexia slammed the door in her face.
Alexia swallowed and let him kiss her again. It was amazing how he made her heart speed up. He kissed expertly, waiting for her to return it. When she did he smiled and lay her back against the bed and his chest. He pulled away and looked down at her. His lips tasted of a bitter rum but his eyes showed he wasn't drunk.

&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Lucius was lost, he gasped and moaned repeatedly. He shook the hair out of his eyes and rested his forehead against hers. He listened to her breathing, felt her chest rise with his and knew she was feeling what he felt. He sighed and kissed her as he moved in deeper.

"I'm sorry. Its just that...hearing you say it back. It..."
"Scared you?"
Lucius was surprised to find himself nodding.
"So you never loved me?"
"I did. I do. I still...I need time. I've never felt like this, so strongly, about anyone before."
