CHRIS' POV

Looking at the house I saw that it was indeed a huge two story gray brick manor with vines creeping up and along the sides and trees surrounding it.

"Its a typical Perigord Mansion. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. 4 fireplaces… and over there is a garden and a pool." Said Erik as he pointed out the different places of the manor. I felt like the luckiest girl alive just then.

"Erik…"

"Yes, love?"

"Just shut up and kiss me because you switching into Architect mode is to sexy to resist." I said as he smirked.

"Oh really?" He said getting closer teasing me.

"Yes rea—" Before I could finish he had wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him with his right hand cupping my face and playing with my impossibly long hair as he kissed me passionately, nibbling on my lower lip so he could enter my mouth as I gasped at his fiery passion.

We were rudely interrupted just then by the clapping of hands to draw attention. Of course it was Madame Giry followed by a girl not much taller then I with thick strawberry blond hair and bright blue eyes.

"Christina this is Katie Turner. She will be helping with the birthing of the baby. I hope you two will be good friends. Now if you will excuse me I need to talk to Erik about which rooms will be whose and the arrangements to be made about the staffing." Said Madame Giry.

In my glee about the moment I hugged Madame Giry close.

"Thank you… you've been like a mother to me over the weeks." I said to her in my own surprise.

"I know about your past Christina… and I know you didn't have the most proper upbringing, so I would be honored child if you would call me Mother Giry from now on. Now run along." She said after she hugged me closely.

"Thank you Mother Giry." I said to her as Katie grabbed my hand and started showing me the grounds.

"I do hope we could be the best of friends." She said to me in that proper French mannerism I had not yet become accustomed to.

"I am sure we will be." I said to her as she walked me around the gardens and said there was a river we could play in a fewhundred meters down the road. I smiled at her as she also shoed me the greenhouse.

"So… you can't be any older than 16 and already married to a man twice you age… including pregnant?" She asked astonished as we started to talk about how I had become pregnant and my being her.

I only told her that Erik and I had met and fallen in love. We soon after eloped, and I became pregnant.

"I am 17 turning 18 in march of next year. And yes Erik is twice my age. He just turned 32 a few weeks ago to be precise." I said with a glint in my eye at the thought of me actually married when I had doubted it all my life.

"Oh my!" She said putting a hand to her mouth. "Well I do have to say he is a rather good looking man, and quite the catch at that. He must have a lot of money too, to have afforded Manor Fruty." She said with a lustful glint in her eye.

I felt the urge to snort yet again at the name of the manor… I decided that it would have to be changed or I would never be able to stop from laughing about it. But at her mention of Erik and his charms I felt a wave of jealousy and ownership over Erik at the thought of him leaving me for any other women.

"Plus he does seem like a passionate man does he not? Of course he is... you are married to him, and he must kiss like a God!" She said and I blushed furiously knowing all to well how true that was. Yet again though, that wave of jealousy came flooding over me.

"Christina… come it is far to cold out here for you in this weather. Plus I sill have yet to show you your third wedding present." Said Erik coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist as he then grabbed my hand and spun me round leading me towards the northwestern corner of the house.

I felt a wave of relief when he showed up, knowing that I would have said something I regret had Katie continued to lust after My Husband.

Dear God Christina you are starting to sound like Erik when he talks about you talking to other men.

Am not. I just don't want to end up alone is all.

Ha suuuure Chrissy sure. You are acting like a total overprotective ass to a pretty cool girl if you ask me.

Well I wont then

When I was done yelling at myself we had reached what looked to be like a large stable with a loft up on top big enough for a stable boy to live in.

Erik smiled at my gaping expression as he took me inside to reveal 18 cleaned and empty stalls with a door at the end of the stable that led to a paddock.

I noticed that two of the first stalls were occupied… and not by the horses we had arrived on. Erik's stallion Sliepner was in one stall… and across from him was another horse. This one was an Arabian though. An all black Arabian mare, though she had streaks ofsilver in her hair that made her look like a shadow in the darkness. The mare couldn't have stood at more than 10 hands looking at her… and she still was growing too. After I gave her a rub down and checked her teeth I saw that she was only 2 years old.

"So… what do you think?" He asked looking at me in anticipation.

"Oh My God Erik she is fantastic. Look at her coat… I have never seen a coat of this color on an Arabia. She must have cost a small fortune. How could you spend so much on me? God Erik I love you!" I said as I turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I love you too… Wolf." I slapped his arm for that while he laughed.

"Well... are you going to name her?" He asked.

"Yes... Shadow... because that is what I thought of her when I first saw her." I said.

"Erik I am still wondering though… what did you give Laura the day of our wedding?" I asked him looking at him a little confused and starting to think bad things.

"Look out side and you shall see." He said pointing to the door. In the doorway stood Laura's small, skinny, red headed frame and I ran to her while we laughed.

"Hello… I did say we would meet again did I not Christina?" The red head said sarcastically.

"Of course… so the address was in that envelope wasn't it?" I asked her smiling.

"Of course… always. Shall we?" She asked taking my hand as we skipped inside the house, Erik following shaking his head.

After dinner was over and Laura had retired to the room she would be staying in till she left the next day, Erik and I finally retired around midnight to our room.

"Erik you can take the mask off now." I said to him as I was getting undressed.

I heard him shuffle around and turned around to see him behind me with his mask still on and a weary look on his face. This would be our first night in a new home and neither of us were really looking forward to it.

"You can stop being respectful Chris and tell me what the matter is. You have been distant all day with me."

I sighed dreading the fight I new that was coming.

"Nothing… well actually it's something… well… I don't like the way that the village girls look at you… andI don't like being away from home…" I said to him looking down not wanting to meet his gaze.

"Christina we both new that our coming here would draw unnecessary attention. I don't like it either… but I am not what many would call anattractive man and I will not always belooked upon in the most polite manner. I on the other hand, can take care of myself. And I know… I don't like having to be away from home anymore than you. I used to hate that place… that Prison of my Mind… and then you came along and it became heaven for me." He said drawing me in close for a hug.

"Uhhh..." I cried in frustration. "I don't mean they look at you like that. I mean they look at you like… LIKE A BUNCH OF DROOLING DOGS!" I finally yelled.

I didn't hear anything from Erik and knew I had either made him mad or caught him a little off guard, so I took a step back to see his expression. It was blank as usual.

ERIK'S POV

I didn't know what to say about her obvious fit. At first I was a little caught off guard… then I was a little angry… and yet surprised at the same time. Luckily I was able to keep this to my self.

"Christina if you think I would leave you for one of those girls then you are mistaken. You're the only women I could ever love. How could you question that? And how are you even sure about that?" I asked her trying to keep my placid attitude.

"BECAUSE I AM ERIK… AND BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME!" She yelled.

"WELL I LOVE YOU TO!" I yelled back… not really understanding what was going on.

"WHY ARE WE YELLING?" she asked still yelling witha sparkin her wolf like eyes.

"I DON'T KNOW!" I retaliated as I grabbed her rather rough around the waist not wanting another second of this space as I smothered her in a kiss. "Damn you… you look all to beautiful when you are having a fit." I whispered seductively as I carried her over to the bed and straddled her planting kisses on every inch of her frail body taking care not to crush her since she was so small.

"The same would be said about you, love." She said to me as she pulled me hard on top of her wrapping her legs around my waist as I undressed her… taking my time to aggravate her… knowing how impatient she could become as she started to moan and groan at me for taking my time.

MADAME GIRY'S POV

I smiled to myself when I was in my room at hearing the two of them yelling at each other only to end in there making love for the hundredth time.

In the weeks I had lived there I had learned that this was the way things were for them. They would fight… but only a minute into the fight Erik or Christina would end up smothering the other. And on some occasions I had to leave immediately since they would forget I was even there and start to unclothe each other on the spot.

Still I was still deeply disturbed by the stable lad that day. He hadn't oncetalked to Erik and he seemed to never even mention his existence to that of Christina… and I had never seen him out except for at the late hours of the day or the early hours of night.

Even more so by the way I saw him watching Christina like a hawk watches its prey. I was worried about this and I knew it was not going to end good… for either of them unless they got rid of that boy. Yet I don't think even that will prepare them for Christina's birthing.

I was more worried than ever that something was wrong in Christina's pregnancy then ever at her rapid growth and progressing sickness.

"This will not be an easy move. For the both of them or for myself as well." I said to myself tucking into bed shaking my head.

oo what could the stable lad be. And what does he want. LOL see... this isnt just going to end with a happy marriage and many kids. I SHALL FOREVER TORMENT THEM! lol.. jk.

so as usual R&R
