Adley stared down at her packed bag for the upcoming week that she would be in Seattle. The plan was to spend the weekend with her parents, then she and Marcus would spend the time together exploring the city and trails around the cities. Maybe take some time to head up to Canada. Vancouver was beautiful this time of year, so why not enjoy the time.

"Are you alright, little one?" Marcus asked from the door, suitcase was long packed. Vampires didn't sleep.

She pursed her lips looking over her folded clothes for the events. "I can't decide on the lenses."

Marcus came over to her and wrapped his arms around her. His head rested upon her head. "Is it the lenses you worry about?"

"They are my current fixation yes. I like to have variety for photos. We'll be doing a lot of site seeing and I want to take some photos." She sighed leaning into his embrace.

"We can always visit again."

"Yes, but this is our first trip together… a first time you're meeting my family." She bit her bottom lip while settling the lenses in her clothes and shut the case.

She turned in his arms meeting his merlot gaze.

"I fear my parents' response to us. I realize they love me, logically that they will always accept me. I still fear it."

"A valid emotion. It shows you care for them." He assured her.

"What about you, do you fear how your family –well coven –will respond to me?"

"The initial response has really already occurred for you. I get an earful all the time that I am to bring you home immediately so Sulpicia and Athenadora may get to know you better. They only got to meet you briefly." He commented. "The overall consensus is they are just happy I am back to being sentient."

"I feel the same way, your smile brings me so much joy. When I first saw you. You looked so heart broken. I barely had the strength not to run over and embrace you. The sorrow in your soul." Adley blinked away a few tears that began to build in her eyes.

"I am here little one, I will not fall to such sorrows again. As long as you are here." He assured her kissing her forehead. "Now, shall we brave on to the vehicle I believe Bella and Edward are going to be meeting us in Seattle tonight for your birthday."

"They aren't riding with us?" She paused.

"Mr. Cullen's words I believe 'no thank you, I heard her memorizing I am a barbie girl'. Something to that extent. I could be wrong I am not familiar with the poem or song." He replied utterly confused.

She snapped her fingers shaking her head. "Little demon was reading my mind. Damn maybe next time I can."

Laughter rang around the room. Adley jumped glaring at the end of the bed where it had come from. In mere seconds Ibrahim popped into existence bent at the middle.

"I for one am all on board with updating the music pallet of Master Marcus. Do you have a video camera, by chance Lady Adley?"

Marcus' brow furrowed as he looked between his snickering mate and guard. Her laughter grew as she walked over to her office. She dug into one of the drawers and pulled out a slightly older video recorder with a new memory card in it.

"It's older but would do the trick." She replied with a sweet tone.

"I am not against shutting off your music player in your car." He warned.

"Spoilt sport. You'll enjoy it, we've got three hours to enjoy. Ibrahim, can you grab a bunch of my CD's for the trip—"

"Already done Lady Adley, the book is in the front passenger seat for your enjoyment."

"Amazing! Come on Marcus, let's get on the road. The sooner we get to Seattle the sooner we can get the interrogation over with my family. Anna has already begun to text." Adley informed him holding her beeping cell phone.

Adley made sure Marcus' ears didn't bleed or break from the many songs and bands. She didn't play 'I'm a Barbie girl' by Aqua on repeat like she had planned to do for Edward. She would get him. Whether it be mentally singing it during an exam or during a study period. Social graces would be used to her advantage.

Marcus pulled into the drive way which already had Anna's Ford Focus, and Oma's Jaguar in it. She looked up to the two and a half story home of brick and light siding. She sighed smiling at the utter ambiance of home. When she looked upon the fifteen hundred square foot house, she was filled with a lasting warmth. She could move anywhere and live forever, but here would always be home.

"Are you ready little one?"

"As much as I can be, I can sense Anna from here. She's bouncing like crazy. You'd think she actually missed me." Adley grinned unbuckling. "Let's get the interrogation over with."

"I would face the sun itself for you." He murmured pressing a chaste kiss to her cheek.

She just exited the Jeep when someone tackled her in a hug. Adley stiffened, but soon relaxed when she saw it was Anna. She took a deep breath smelling the strawberry shampoo and her strawberry body mist. She chuckled hugging her older sister whose aura was vibrating brightly golden.

"Happy Birthday, loser. God you're twenty-four already. You're getting so old." Anna chuckled pulling back to give her a once over.

"I'm younger than you," Adley rolled her eyes. "You're literally thirty in August."

"Respect you're elders." Anna laughed. "I can't believe I missed you. It's so weird being at home and not finding you randomly on my couch. I can see why though, who is the hottie?"

"Anna! You're engaged." Adley hissed, turning bright red.

She glanced over to where Marcus was standing. A polite smile in place. Aura flashing with a bit of smugness. He had slipped on his brown contacts before exiting. "Afternoon,"

"Hi, I'm Anna. Her amazing older sister." She waved not losing her grin.

"Marcus, your sister's partner." He replied with a nod.

"Appa and Cole are out getting a few more things for tonight. Oma is here." Anna assured pulling Adley along with her.

Adley turned to Marcus gesturing him for her to follow. He did highly amused of the two sisters. The walk was shorter than she hoped, seeing Oma standing in the foyer once they got through the door. Anna pulled back allowing Adley to greet Oma. She kicked her shoes off first and slid into her slippers before hugging Oma.

"Adley, good to have you home. You brought your boyfriend with you. Very handsome." Oma whispered mid embrace.

Adley seemed to be remaining red today. She bit her tongue though, despite Marcus being able to hear her clear as a bell, the woman was radiating happiness. Marcus offered his hand, but Oma simply embraced him.

"Welcome, it is so nice to meet you. I am Susanne, just call me Oma." She pulled back.

"Marcus, it is an honor to meet you,"

"Tell me about yourself, come sit. Addie, Anna why don't you prepare some tea." Oma motioned to both girls.

A spark in the woman's aura had Adley about to protest but her older sister whisked her off to the kitchen. Anna set the kettle on the stove to boil and switched on the fan above. She leant on the counter motioning to Adley.

"Well spill, where did you find him and when? Aunt Janet was the first to know. I'm hurt on that Adds, seriously I'm your older sister. Surely I rank higher than our aunt." Anna grilled.

"In my defense Aunt Janet happened to be working for the same company Marcus is the CEO of sorts of."

"Shit, CEO? How old is he?" Anna's eyes widened.

"We met in Forks where he was on business occupying the same coffee shop. He worked up the courage to ask me out, and well one thing led to another and now we're dating. He's only in his late twenties."

"Is he mafia or some shit? CEO already? What kind of company?"

"No he's not Mafia. It's a family company, he runs with his brothers. Marcus is highly intelligent and is working with the research teams here. He's here on business and happened to meet me."

"Here from where?" Anna hedged.

"Italy."

"Damn, is this going to last?"

"It's early to say." Adley responded. She kept it to herself the whole Soulmate thing along with the supernatural aspect of it all.

Anna gave her a once over before smiling. "You're in love."

"How—"

"I'm not scary accurate at readings Adds but I can sense emotions too. You're radiating love, this is a lot deeper than what you've ever felt isn't it? You're allowed to fall in love Adds." Anna assured her.

"Isn't it early to feel this extent I am? While I haven't lingered on it, I see a future with him." Adley blurted.

"He's the one. Sometimes you just know. You are an Empath Adds, it could be why. You're highly in tune with that stuff. I will get nieces and nephews though before I am forty." Anna cackled.

"A bit early for that stuff." Adley shook her head. She hadn't even thought about kids. "Cole has a girlfriend too."

"Yeah, but it's Cole, he's got a few more years of schooling to finish and will need to get loans paid off. He won't have them at least for ten years. You have a house and a career."

"He lives in Italy. Doesn't that worry you?" The kettle let out a whistle. Anna took it off the burner and poured it into a tea pot waiting with bags inside. Adley busied herself with grabbing a few cups and setting them on a tray along with the creamer and sugar.

"He's a CEO for a family company, I am sure he can fly you across seas whenever you ask."

"I just started in Forks though, I feel I'm abandoning my job for a romance."

"Italy needs teachers I'm sure not everyone is crazy about physics like you. You speak French, work on your Italian and look into immigration papers. We're always here for you Adds. Spread your wings and live. Don't be eighty and on your death, bed regretting shit. Planes exist you can fly us to you or you to us. I'll miss you but it sounds like an adventure." Anna embraced her.

"Thank you, Anna, I've been mulling it over since we met."

"You are in love." Anna laughed pulling back. "Let's bring this and then go rescue your man. Oma has had enough time interrogating him."

"Oma and you are over protective and scary together."

"You are too when Jordan first met you. He got scared when you cornered him. We're family. It's what we do." Anna hurried ahead.

Adley set the tray down and Anna got to preparing tea cups. Oma leant back on the loveseat where Anna took a seat as well. On the couch Marcus was sitting as relaxed as he could. Adley scanned his aura, but she only saw adoration and happiness. She'd question him later away from family.

Appa arrived at the home that afternoon along with Cole and his girlfriend. The plan was to meet at the venue where they would have the party. Adley finished her hair as she stood within her closet where her childhood walk in mirror was. She sprayed a hairspray to keep it for the night. She had pulled some away and up and curled the bottom of her hair allowing it to hang around her. She was changed into a simple black dress that fell to her knees in the empire waistline. The halter holding on for dear life at her neck.

"You look beautiful." Marcus stated entering the closet.

He was busy fixing his tie on his button down. He had slipped a suit jacket on but kept the jeans.

"You aren't too bad yourself." She shot him a wink. "Are you prepared for the inquisition of the rest of my family?"

"I shall be by your side the night through." He assured.

"You're a brave man." She chuckled turning away from the mirror.

She smoothed down her skirt before looking up to him. She'd kept the makeup simple with a lip stain as to not to need to reapply every few hours. Marcus flashed out of the closet only to return a few seconds later. In his hand a long box. He offered it to her.

"What?"

"It is one of the few birthday gifts I have for you." He replied.

"You didn't need to get me anything Marcus, your presence is more than enough."

"Non sense. Your birthday is enough reason to spoil you." He pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"Thank you,"

She opened the long box. Inside upon a black velvet a thin golden chain held a delicate V pendant. In the edges she saw the Latin phrase, along with a coat of arms. A few Emeralds and diamonds were encrusted in the bottom of the V and at each top point.

"Centuries, Aro had these made for each family member and their mate. They are of our family crest." He explained. "I took this with me when we left Italy. I was looking for the moment to gift this to you. Which is why it is one of a few gifts."

"It's absolutely stunning craftmanship. The goldsmith had a talent. I love it. Especially knowing it comes not just from you but your family as well." She smiled shyly. "A part of me worries I will not be up to their expectations of what your mate should be."

"You are more than worthy in their eyes, little one."

"You said something about multiple gifts?" Adley queried hesitating on the hint. "What else have you planned?"

"You are off work for a whole week. I have planned some things for us to do whilst in the city and when we go for some hikes up the mountain. I wish to leave some air of mystery to it." He gave a half grin.

She sighed but embraced him none the less. She leant her head on his chest, which began to vibrate from a small purr. The golden flares from his aura embracing both.

"While I am not the biggest fan of surprises, I look forward to this kind. Memories." She smiled. "I apologize in advance if you get forced to eat anything tonight."

"We'll work around it if we can." He comforted her and led her out into the hall.

Adley took a break leaning on the balcony of the restaurant they were currently in. The city of Seattle was settling down for the evening and late night around them. Stars were twinkling in the clear sky above. She had a glass of champagne in hand. She stared up at the sky a wide grin upon her face. She wasn't drunk but was feeling the effects of the alcohol. Edward had roped Bella away at eight in the evening knowing Adley was about to get her polluted on the wine.

Marcus approached leaning on the wall stopping them from falling. "How have you enjoyed the night so far?"

"I'm still basking in it. Currently I am trying to pace myself away from Anna. She's evil." Adley huffed downing her drink.

"Your siblings and cousins adore you." He smiled wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"Too much at times." She leant on his chest.

"Addie, there you are! The elderly people are leaving, a few of us want to go to the karaoke bar a few doors down. We need you." Anna declared tossing the doors to the inside open.

Brown eyes zeroed in on the couple. Behind her Jordan came out, smiling to the two. She could see he was flushed red already.

"How many people Anna?"

"Mae, her girlfriend Chris? Cole, Chelsea, Ash, Mi-Soo, Lee… us?"

"Around eight or nine of us." Jordan replied holding his to be wife still.

"Is she alright to even continue?" Adley nodded at her sister.

"She's more sugared up than drunk." He replied.

"She, is here and listening, now can we go? Come on Adds." Anna pleaded. "Your boyfriend should hear your lovely voice."

Adley laughed finishing her drink. "I can confirm it is not lovely."

"She doesn't sound like a dying cat but she isn't selling concerts." Jordan clarified to Marcus.

He'd heard her sing, now and then in her kitchen preparing food. His curiosity piqued he guided Adley to the door to go join her cousins. Adley took her tipsy sister's hand and pulled her through. The braved the cold to the Karaoke bar down the road a bit. The place was quite popular amongst young college kids.

Adley had spent a lot of time here. They selected a booth with the machine and some sound proofing not to hurt the ears of the many patrons. They ordered a round of Soju.

"What kind of alcohol is Soju?" Marcus queried.

Adley paused tilting her head. "You've probably never had anything beyond wine or ale at most."

"Correct."

"It's a strong alcohol made from rice and barley. Popular in South Korea. The owner is from there and gets it imported. It can make you drunk quickly if it's not watched on the percentage, some of this can go upwards of 50% content." She replied, leaning into his side, they had sat near the edge of the booth. "Can vampires even drink?"

"If the human is suffering from alcohol poisoning, but not from the drink itself." He advised.

Adley took a drink from one of the green bottles near her. She shuddered at the burn. The familiar taste of after class intoxication.

"Anna, you're up first. Since you are the eldest!"

"That she is, Noona you may go first." Cole bowed to her, a smirk on his face.

Anna smacked him on the back of the head. "Loser."

The night faded by with Adley only consuming a few Soju's and many wings from the bar. She had Marcus to thank for slipping her some water between drinks and songs. The rest took to getting cabs. Soon it flitted down to Anna, Jordan, her, and Marcus. She was light headed but not beyond capacity as her sibling.

"Adds, Happy birthday!" Anna yelled wrapping her arms around Adley.

She caught her older sister by the waist as Jordan was red in the face. She rolled her eyes laughing. "Unnie, can you not balance on your own?"

"My head is spinning." She huffed.

"Marcus do you mind if we drive them home?" Adley asked looking up to him.

"Of course,"

Marcus disappeared to go get the Jeep. She looked over to Jordan who had wandered over to the corner to rest his burning head on the brick of the building.

"Don't wander too far, Jordan Kim, I will personally hunt you down." Adley warned.

She didn't need to lose her brother-in-law because she was holding Anna. She sighed as the man wandered further down the darker alley. She bit her bottom lip.

"Ibrahim?" She hissed.

No response. Only the passing cars and people passing to continue home or somewhere else. It was nearly one in the morning. Adley sighed.

"Jordan Kim." Adley yelled.

No reply.

Her heart picked up as the silence of the alley came to her. She pulled Anna along with her to stare down the dark alley way. He seriously could not get far.

"Jordan!"

"Jordan… Babe?" Anna called scrunching up her nose.

"Adley…"

She turned to see Marcus. "Get her in the car,"

She pushed her brother towards him. A group of young adults passed causing him to need to proceed at a human pace. She used the distraction to go looking. She stumbled a few steps heart slamming in her chest. Where the fuck had he gone?

She stumbled.

Jordan was laying his head on the wall. She sighed rolling her eyes. Goddamn man gave her a heart attack. She grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him upwards. Marcus was at his side hauling the man up. They got into the car and headed to drop the couple off then home.

Adley's head was foggy, she blinked a few times peaking out of her blanket cocoon. She braved the cooler room air searching the rest of the bed. It only took a few pats to find the cool body.

She turned and nuzzled back into the blankets leaving room for her nose. She was pressed against his chest, which was shaking with the slight laughter.

"Good morning," He murmured.

She lifted the blanket enough to glare up at him. "Unless there is food involved, I'm sleeping ten more hours."

"Your mother is cooking bacon and eggs I believe she said when she awoke."

Adley propped herself up to sit up. Marcus moved to accommodate her.

"You better not be teasing me."

"I would not dare to tease you about something so serious." He held his hand on his heart. "Especially not in the home of your parents. It is best to keep some decorum."

"Ah!" She pushed away from him. "Too early and my head is still too groggy for dirty promises."

"I am innocent on where your mind went."

"Lies." She tossed the blanket over him to get up.

Marcus had her on her back hands above her head on her bed in a blink of an eye. She stared up at him. Merlot eyes darkened to burgundy. His lips mere millimeters from hers, teasing her.

"I only suggested little one, not to desecrate the memories of your family home. I am not beyond the temptation of making you scream in pleasure." He caught her lips.

Adley's stomach fluttered as he did. Trying in vain to get her hands free. He pulled back after a few kisses.

"Now be a good girl and get showered." He ordered releasing her.

"It's too early in the morning to develop a praise kink…" She shook her head to clear it.

Her shorts became too uncomfortable to remain in them. She grabbed a change of clothing and a towel so she could wake up. Best for a cold one.

She was quick to dress in a pair of yoga pants and a three-quarter inch tunic shirt. It was Early Sunday and she wanted to escape to the mountains, so she didn't need to go to church with her parents. Marcus' cell phone rang. She raised a brow, but he murmured off it was Ibrahim.

She padded down to the kitchen where Oma was cooking and Appa was sitting at the table with coffee and the newspaper.

"Good morning Addie, did you have fun?" Appa asked glancing up from his paper.

"Yes, it was lovely. Thank you." She bent down to hug him.

"Of course, we always celebrate your birthday. Each of you mean so much to your Oma and I. Your partner, where is he?" He questioned.

"He was called for business. A breech occurred, they needed him to pop into the office this morning."

"He is a busy man." Oma observed looking over to her.

"Such is the life of CEO of a family business." Adley shrugged.

"Yes, Oma said. Italy, is where he is from? My future grandchildren I hope will spend time in the states as well as Italy." Appa voiced.

Color fell from her face. "Anna told you?"

"Aunt Janet." Appa replied closing his paper. "While I will miss having you close, you will always have our support. He makes you happy."

"Very."

"Then it seems we will have family trips to Italy and you to us. He has a good job to support you and a family."

"We haven't even spoken about kids yet." Adley chuckled shaking her head. "You're making it seem like we're getting married tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, three years… I will still walk you down the aisle. I watched how he looks at you, like the you are his sun. He is as in love with you as you are him. Caught in orbit together."

"He is the one."

It wasn't a question from Oma. Who came over with two plates of eggs and bacon, and laid it down in front of the two.

"It's stupid to ask, but how do you know?"

"I sense your emotions, like with Bella and her soul wound. You have this utter happiness to you, like she did with Mr. Cullen last night."

"I will not press too much into the details of going to Italy and what transpired. I have a hunch there is more than being in a coffee shop together. I will leave it be, at least I know you are happy." Oma squeezed her hand.

"Does Papa, or Grandpa sound better?" Appa asked picking his paper back up.

"Appa, I'm not pregnant nor planning just yet."

"I can think this over, you have siblings." He chuckled.

"Yes and you've been teasing me mostly."

"Where do you want the wedding to happen? Any season in mind?" He questioned.

"Appa! I haven't gotten that far."

"Well hurry with that. He seems like good man."

"In-su Choi, leave Addie alone. She is still twenty four." Oma warned across the table, there was mischief in her dark gaze. "I always liked Spring weddings."

"Ah!"

They arrived at the cabin after spending a good night at a downtown restaurant. They'd done the Glacier Basin Trail, seven miles of hiking. Her legs were burning from the elevation. It had been worth the five hour hike, an hour spent for Adley to get a few photos of the ice sheet and the mountain along with the lake. She was excited to be able to edit some of the photos to blow up for her walls. She'd gotten a good photo of Marcus and her sitting on the edge of the look out.

Ibrahim had climbed a bit further out to take the shots for them. She shut off her camera for the night. She stretched out her back as they entered the cabin. Marcus brought the two suitcases in. They'd be spending some time here it seemed. Adley kicked off her boots and her jacket she hung it up rubbing at her back muscles. She hadn't over done it by any means but she hadn't done a serious climb in over a year.

Another reminder she needed to begin regularly working out. She slipped her three quarter sleeve shirt off and balled it up. It left her in her camisole. Cool hands began pressing lightly into her back and neck.

"Sore?"

"Very, but it was so worth it. I have some amazing shots I can blow up and have made into a few portraits for my rooms. I'm excited to see the ones of us to edit a few things and then have them printed." She smiled turning in his arms. "They are after all the first few of us."

"I believe they will be some of the first well done ones of myself. I'm sure Sully will be happy to see them. She's unfortunately got very few of myself."

"We'll need to rectify that, seriously, you're too handsome to not photo. You are so photogenic." She blushed.

"Thank you little one," he caught her chin pulling her in for a chaste kiss. "Why don't you go soak in the tub to relax your muscles."

He pulled back. She nodded looking up through heavy lids. "A grand idea."

She tossed her shirt at him and made her way to the bedroom. In the doorway she slid down her pants and panties looking over her shoulder. She met his gaze. A blush reddened her cheeks running down her neck. Marcus was left staring intently after her, while his phone went off. She chuckled padding her way over to the bathroom.

It was just as grand as she remembered. The sand tiles. She ducked below the counter grabbing a few soaps and a puff. She started the water allowing it to fill once she found the perfect temperature. She turned to the mirror over the sink and counter. She slipped her sports bra off tossing it to the floor.

Her brown nipples puckering at the cooler air, her heated skin had cooled during dinner but the cabin air did seem colder. She cupped her breasts before running her hands over her soft sides. She pressed her finger tips into her lower back messaging out the slight sting she was feeling. She stretched rolling her shoulders out.

She pulled the ponytail holder out of her hair only to wrap it up quickly in a top knot and tie it in place. She wasn't in the mood for wet hair. She turned to climb into the tub. She dropped to the bottom. The warm scalding water lapped at her shoulders as she sunk into the little grove in the side seat.

This. This is what she needed. The hot water took it's time to loosen her muscles. Adley leant back on the tub edge sighing. She let her eyes flutter shut as she took a few calming breaths. The water was at her neck line when she shut off the taps. She reached over for the jets to get them going.

"Perfection."

"The bath, or the temptress inside of it?" A deep voice questioned.

Adley's eyes shot open. She sat up slightly.

Marcus was standing with his shirt off. He still had his pants on. She trailed her eyes over his pale chest. Broad and well toned. She gulped seeing the happy trail that disappeared below his belt line. She gulped, her throat suddenly dry.

"Do you mind the company?" He questioned.

She shook her head. "By all means."

She mentally groaned at the crack in her words. She watched him.

Marcus made a show to undo his belt. The dark leather… no, no, no… belts that expensive were not meant to be used as restrains… she gulped.

He undid the buttons leaving him in his boxer briefs. Adley's eyes widened, her blush extending to her chest. Her heart raced as she stared directly at his groin.

Good lord above. He wasn't even erect nor straining she groaned. Was it a blessing or would it be a curse for him to be proportionate all around? She blinked a few times breaking her trans. Marcus chuckled sliding off the underwear and slid into the tub. He came to the ledge she was on and lifted her. He settled her on his lap, mindful to where she landed. She looked up teeth embedded in her bottom lip.

"You need not worry of that tonight, surely you are exhausted." He murmured.

He took to getting the soap and began messaging it on her back with a cloth. He had her stand the lather the soap over her arms and legs. He took his time to message and fondle her breasts. He rolled her nipples between his pointer finger and thumb.

Adley gasped. "I'm not apposed to other activities."

"I can tell." He purred.

He turned his attention to her core. She gasped as he left the cloth in the water, he moved her legs apart supporting her on her knees around him, he lightly traced his fingers through her folds. She gasped losing her balance.

She fell forward. Marcus caught her breast in his mouth. She moaned. He teased her below, running fingers through to her opening. He ran a circuit between her opening and clit. He pushed a finger in whilst his thumb worked her clit in a clockwise motion.

"Marcus…"

"Yes love." He pulled back from her chest.

She pulled him up for a searing kiss. His lips domineered hers while he continued his ministrations below. She gasped while he pushed her higher and higher, winding her up the climb of her ecstasy. He added a second finger stretching her. She shuddered, he took the timing to request access to her mouth with his tongue. She relented. Lust crashing around her. She buckled her hips forward seeking release.

It was quick to find, she shuddered in his embrace. He muffled her cries. She fell limp on his lap. Her core bumping into his very much erect cock. She pulled back panting, lips swollen. She caught his onyx gaze.

She reached to in front of her. Under the water she wrapped her hand around his length, he was quite large, she realized in girth and length. It'd been a while since she'd had sex. Let alone given oral sex or a hand job. She began to stroke his length.

A deep growl built in Marcus as she did. She kissed his jaw and down his neck. "Little one, you do not need to —"

"I want to. Marcus, please."

She whispered kissing her way up his neck.

"Let me return the pleasure to you. It is my birthday after all… I'm ready Marcus… I want to." She pleaded, breathless.

In a mere flash he had Adley up and on her back. He pushed her one hand into the bed, while he reclaimed her lips with his. He nestled between her open legs. He ran his hand along her side.

"Are you wishing to completing this next step?"

She groaned as he ran the head of his cock, over her heated core.

"Words, little one." He teased her running his length over her with a quick thrust.

"Fuck me Marcus."

"As you request." He caught her lips in a kiss, thrusting against her once more.

She moaned tossing her head back into the blanket below her. He latched onto the skin at her neck. She ran her hands over his back and into his hair.

He pulled back a bit.

She whimpered at the loss.

"Marcus…"

"Patience little one." He chuckled kissing her jaw and lips.

He lined the head of his cock up with her core. She bit her bottom lip. He pushed in.

Adley groaned closing her eyes. The slight burn in her aroused core, he pushed inwards to her. She gasped once he was fully sheathed within her. She gasped feeling heat all around her. She looked at Marcus who had propped himself up on his elbows above her, his hair curtained around their faces. His aura spilled out around them. lust, gold outshined it, as the two colours fought for dominance. It coated into a big burst.

love. Absolute perfect love. She reached up pressing a kiss to his lips twice, before thrusting upwards, encouraging him to move. She was full. The growing need needed him to move. He set a steady pace. Slow at first pulling out until it was just his tip inside before thrusting in.

She groaned.

Marcus was returning the enthusiasm as she caught onto the rhythm they were setting. Increasing in the pleasure that filled them. She held onto him when the peak was coming into view. She shut her eyes. The coil in her core was pulling tighter with each thrust, he switched just slightly forward.

"Ah!"

He adjusted to hit the spot again, and again.

"That's it little one, let yourself go." Marcus encouraged, rumbling of his baritone echoed in his chest. He pressed into her fully increasing in speed.

"Marcus!"

Pure pleasure. Slammed around her.

She clenched down with her climax.

Marcus held her close as she shuddered collapsing into the bed. He thrusted into her a few more times before his own climax hit. He held close to her. She whimpered at the cool feeling of his seed.

A few breaths and he pulled out. She shivered when he did pulling her close. She let her eyes flutter shut once more.

A/N: Thank you for reading I will be back to normal posting by next Tuesday, I have a midterm to write and desperately need to study. Thank you for patience
