Catherine's POV
Since the play Hamlet was performed last week I decided to read through Shakespeare's plays. For the moment I was actually reading Hamlet and I found the story entertaining. In a couple more weeks I would be five months pregnant and would need to feed on a living soul. According to Sebastian I only needed one soul to consume and I would be content for the rest of the pregnancy.
I was in the library reading since it was raining outside today. I hoped Pluto was taking the proper shelter alongside with Persephone. I swear if Pluto had been a demon cat he and Persephone would have become a mated pair.
Now these days Pluto kept it to his demon hound form. Alongside Persephone he helped guard the manor. Things had been quiet and it was nice not having to venture into London to solve a case for the false queen. My stomach made a growling noise and I rolled my eyes. I was getting to a good part in Hamlet until my stomach decided it was hungry.
I stood up and placed the book down before leaving the library and headed in the direction of the dining room. I wasn't surprised to find Ciel there already having lunch while looking over some paperwork.
"Anything interesting?" I joked at my brother while sitting down in a chair close to him.
"Just the usual business with Funtom" Ciel explained. He then looked up at me. "I take it your stomach led you here?"
He flashed an amused smile at me and I smirked back.
"You would be correct" I confirmed.
"I was wondering where my wife was" Sebastian said after entering the dining room. "I was going to bring you here from the library"
"Don't tease me Sebastian when I'm hungry" I warned the demon with an annoyed look. I wasn't a pleasant person to be around whenever I needed to eat.
Sebastian gave me his signature bow before going to fetch some lunch for me.
"I remember when we first brought back Sebastian here with us" Ciel said getting my attention. "For a demon he had a lot of things to learn"
"Oh I remember quite well" I added as a flood of memories from three years prior came to my mind.
1886
After Ciel and Sebastian Form Their Contract.
Still Catherine's POV
I couldn't believe I was mate bound to a damn demon!
And what sucked was the demon was absolutely gorgeous. Ciel's right eye glowed with the contract design he formed with the demon before us. At one simple order Ciel had his newly disguised butler kill the entire cult who had imprisoned us and killed our brother. Now the three of us stood outside of the ruins of the cult and the sun was rising.
"Sebastian from now on you'll answer to Sebastian" Ciel informed the demon standing before us.
"Most excellent my lord" Sebastian replied. "May I be so bold as to inquire for your inspiration for my given name? Was that what your last butler was called?"
"No" Ciel answered with a shake of his head. "It was our dog's name"
"SAY WHAT?! THOSE ASSHOLES KILLED OUR DOG?!" I roared.
Immediately both Ciel and Sebastian flinched at seeing my temper flare. Smoke emerged from my nose and I punched a nearby tree hard enough to make it fall.
Back at Rebuilt Phantomhive Manor
I winced as I pulled off my ruined clothes. I still hurt like hell after being shot with that damned silver bullet along with other wounds I sustained. Sebastian managed to draw me a nice warm bath which was thoughtful of him. But the damn demon would need to earn my affections as his mate and not through seduction.
I managed to wash my hair and the front of my body with ease but my back was another matter. My wounds there needed to be cleaned. There was a knock on the door and I called for whoever it was to come in.
The door opened a crack and I heard Sebastian's voice.
"My lady is everything alright?"
I noticed the demon wasn't looking through the crack. Well at least my mate understood boundaries.
"I'm fine and you have my permission to come in Sebastian" I told him.
"Alright but if I make you uncomfortable please let me know"
The demon butler then came in and immediately his face went red at seeing my naked breasts. I covered them with an arm and lowered my body into the water.
"Calm down demon haven't you seen a woman naked before?" I asked.
"Uh well not in a long time" Sebastian confessed. He was still blushing which was pretty damn cute. He then noticed my back wounds. "If I may my lady I can clean your wounds on your back"
"My name is Catherine not my lady" I corrected him. "I am your mate after all"
"Yes of course"
I smirked before giving my consent for Sebastian to wash my back. He carefully washed and rinsed my wounds until he felt he had done enough. The demon butler then excused himself so I could get out of the tub and dress for bed. My ruined clothes were gone and after I brushed my hair I made sure I was alone in my bedroom before I came out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel.
On my bed lay a fresh nightgown and a rose rested on top of it. I blushed at this because this was the first time I'd ever received male affection. Maybe this demon butler wasn't so bad after all.
Tea Time
Ciel and I were a taking break from our studies and had tea in the greenhouse. I took a sip of mine and it wasn't bad but I couldn't say the same for Ciel's though. He had Sebastian walk up to him and hold out his hands. I watched in horror as Ciel poured the tea onto Sebastian's gloves. My mate made a face when the hot water touched his gloves.
"Ciel Phantomhive!" I exclaimed getting to my feet. Ciel winced and he looked afraid when I rose to my feet. "Sebastian is still learning our human ways so no more of that nonsense you just pulled"
"Very well sister" Ciel reluctantly agreed.
Sebastian shot me a grateful look and I responded with a nod.
Sometime Later At Night.
I woke up to the sounds of screaming from outside. Sebastian was out there taking care of people who were trespassing. I heard Ciel fuss at the demon before slamming his window shut. For some reason I couldn't explain I wanted my mate's company. I fell asleep for a short while before something woke me back up.
In the darkness of my room I saw Sebastian standing next to the bed. His eyes glowed and they took in my body underneath the covers.
"How long have you been in here?" I asked.
"My apologies Catherine I felt your desire for my presence but didn't wish to pursue anything without your consent"
"I see" I responded sitting up. "Come here Sebastian"
My mate obeyed and I stood up so I was standing before him. Deciding to make the first move I pulled Sebastian closer to me using his tailcoat and I kissed him for the first time. His lips were smooth and they felt just right against mine. Sebastian didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around my back and he responded into the kiss.
His tongue met with mine and it was one hell of a dance for dominance. A few minutes later we pulled apart so we could catch our breath.
"Damn demon your one hell of a kisser" I joked.
"No my dear I am simply one hell of a butler who wishes to make love to you and claim you as mine"
"Then what the hell are you waiting for? You have my permission"
Sebastian smirked before he tore off his gloves from his hands using his teeth. He then guided my hands to his tailcoat and I pulled it off of him along with his vest and tie. Sebastian removed his shoes and socks before allowing me to resume undressing him.
When I finally removed his shirt I eyed his abs hungrily, he was absolutely perfect. My hands roamed his torso exploring his muscles and Sebastian patiently waited.
"Your perfect" I said.
"Thank you Little Dhampir"
"Nickname huh?" I asked.
"Yes my love"
He then bent down and lifted the skirt of my nightgown upwards exposing my legs and thighs. He planted kisses starting from my ankle until he reached my thighs on each leg. Once finished he was back on his feet and he pulled the rest of the nightgown off of me. I felt embarrassed as I stood before him completely naked for the first time.
"My Catherine you are truly beautiful" Sebastian purred before he lifted me upwards.
Instinct made me wrap my arms around his neck and my legs were around his waist as he lowered me onto my back against the sheets. He claimed a nipple into his mouth and as he sucked on it he massaged my other breast. I arched my back and moaned.
"Oh I intend to make you moan more Little Dhampir" Sebastian promised before he kissed his way to the left side of my shoulder and neck area.
Then he bit into my flesh and I held onto his silky black hair as he marked me. Afterwards he licked away the blood from where his fangs punctured my skin and he offered the same spot on his body out to me. My fangs elongated and I sank them into his flesh finally claiming him as mine.
Our mate bond was opened and it was interesting. My mate then disposed of his pants and he guided my legs so they were around his waist in a comfortable position. Intertwining his hand into mine he pushed his length through my entrance and broke the barrier of my virginity. It hurt and seeing my discomfort Sebastian kissed my forehead to distract me from the pain.
Then he started a rhythm and I did my best to follow it with my hips. Soon pain became intense pleasure and we made love long into the night. Let's just say the next evening Sebastian Michaelis moved into my bedroom and we'll leave it at that.
Present
"Sebastian did you really need to blindfold me?" I asked.
My husband had a surprise for me and he was guiding me towards it.
"Yes my love"
I heard my mate open a door and he guided me into the room before shutting it behind him. Then my husband removed the blindfold and I saw a beautiful golden crib standing in the corner of our bedroom along with the other necessities for a newborn.
"Until she's old enough Esme will sleep in here with us" Sebastian explained placing a hand onto my swollen belly.
I loved the set up and I gave Sebastian a kiss to show him my appreciation. Esme interrupted with a good kick and Sebastian chuckled before bending down and he kissed my baby bump where he sensed our daughter was.
"I think she approves" I joked as Sebastian stood back up.
"I hope so because I am one hell of a designer"
I rolled my eyes at his remark and Sebastian proceeded to steal another kiss from me as punishment.
I got a serious nosebleed here people XD. Anyway the new cover for this story was done by my good bud Yoitefriend on deviantart. Really guys go check the gallery. Also credit for Catherine and Sebastian's shipping name was suggested by Yoitefriend too.
