Catherine's POV

"Ha! Checkmate!" I exclaimed.

Ciel was done doing his paperwork for the day and he challenged me to a game of chess. We were in the recreational room and Esme was in my arms fascinated with watching me and her uncle play chess.

"Want to go another round?" Ciel asked.

"Sure and I think Esme likes watching us play" I added giving my daughter a kiss on her forehead. A cute laugh escaped from her lips and Ciel chuckled.

"You want to hold her? My damn arms are getting tired again"

Ciel nodded before he stood up and took his niece into his arms. Esme let out another laugh and my brother smiled. It was so freaking cute how he and Esme interacted with one another. I set up the board and another game began.

"So any ideas what sort of present you want?" I asked Ciel as I moved a pawn. "Or do you want me to surprise you?"

My little brother would be turning fourteen soon. Even though it was a day that was still a painful reminder we lost our parents Ciel didn't mind a little get together. Since he met Sadie the darkness that once clouded his heart faded in time and now Ciel was enjoying life.

"I like your surprises so that will suffice" Ciel replied moving a bishop and he took my pawn. I saw my daughter was smiling and Ciel smirked.

"It looks like your niece likes seeing her uncle tease her mother" I joked. "She definitely likes being held by you besides her father"

Ciel looked to Esme with affection in his eye.

"She's hard not to adore let's just hope she won't have the Phantomhive stubbornness"

That got me to snort because that was a trait my child would certainly gain.

Sebastian's POV

I was going about my rounds when I heard Mey-Rin talking to herself. I sighed wondering if she clumsily messed up something again. But to my relief that wasn't the case she was polishing the banister which was one of the tasks I assigned her to do today.

"Good work Mey-Rin" I praised.

She jumped at my voice. I guess she was so focused on her work I accidentally scared her.

"My goodness Sebastian you scared me!"

I chuckled and responded.

"My apologies I didn't mean to frighten you did you get a new set of lens for your glasses?"

"Oh yes! Catherine mentioned it to the young master and had my glasses fixed now I can see better, by the way Finney says there is a white cat similar to Persephone wondering about the grounds"

That got my attention. Normal cats came and went but another demon cat showing up? This I needed to investigate. The servants were aware of the supernatural but they didn't know I was a demon and that was something I intended to keep a secret. Suddenly a loud explosion made the manor shake and I sighed before going to see what Bard burned this time.

Turns out he used some dynamite as a cooking utensil. I made sure he was alright of course before telling him to clean things up. Despite being clumsy like Mey-Rin and Finney the chef was one hell of a fighter. That was why I hired him along with Mey-Rin and Finney. Mey-Rin was a skilled sniper and Finney's strength was remarkable. I may not express it often but I was proud the trio worked here.

I found Finney by the greenhouse and asked where he last saw the white cat. The gardener nodded to where Pluto and Persephone were and in front of them was the cat in question. The white feline was Persephone's spitting image except for its white fur. It had black socks on its feet, black tipped ears, and a black tipped tail.

"Oh your such a lovely creature" I said picking up the demon cat.

I held the feline in one arm and began to stroke it's back. Immediately the adorable creature began to purr.

That is my brother Aisu Persephone explained. He is Esme's guardian

"How perfect" I replied to the female demon cat. As I continued petting Aisu I looked to Persephone. "He is aware he cannot go inside due to the master's allergies correct?"

Yes he knows Persephone reassured me. He's just being lazy about not talking

Hey! I was enjoying being petted!

I chuckled at Aisu's protest. From his voice he sounded young and in my opinion he was a perfect guardian for my Esme.

"I will introduce you to Esme soon" I promised the white demon cat before I set him back down onto his feet.

I checked my pocket watch and saw lunch time was approaching. So I made my way back to the manor.

Catherine's POV

Ciel ended up beating me in our second round. Afterwards Sebastian came to take our daughter so she could be put down for her nap. My husband then informed me that Esme now had a guardian like Persephone was for me.

I was relieved to hear that because knowing Esme had another watching out for her made me worry less. After lunch I felt I needed a nap myself and after I checked on Esme did I fall asleep.

Ciel's POV

I sighed as I finished the book Sadie had mentioned had a bad ending. My fiancée had been right the ending was bad. I was in the library relaxing and I was about to get another book when the door opened and speak of the devil my beloved fiancée smirked at me.

"Hello Little Mate"

I smirked as my future bride shut the door behind her.

"Sorry for barging in but I wanted to see you if that's okay"

"Don't apologize Sadie I always enjoy your visits" I reassured the dragoness picking her hand up and kissed it. "I just finished that book you talked about and the ending was in fact bad"

Sadie chuckled before she went to find something else we could read.

"Have you ever read the history of the Tudors?"

"Can't say I have doesn't the Tudor dynasty involve Henry VIII?"

"Yes but the Tudor reign began with his father Henry VII, though unlike his father Henry VIII had six wives and we'll let's just say the damn king liked women"

"Really? I didn't know Henry VIII had six wives now I'm intrigued"

Catherine's POV

The sounds of gun fire woke me up. Immediately I rushed to check on Esme and my little girl slept on. However I was pissed because there were uninvited guests on the Phantomhive grounds. And since the little shits interrupted my nap I was pissed off.

I made it outside and no doubt Mey-Rin, Finney, and Bard were dealing with the intruders. Let's just say when I met up with one they were getting their ass kicked. It didn't take long for me to find several of the intruders and I punched the living hell out of them.

One bloke tried to sneak up behind me but I gave the bastard a round house kick and he went flying. Persephone then appeared beside me in her larger form and I swung myself onto her back. She then took off into a run and when more of the hitmen saw the demon cat coming at them they dropped their guns and took off.

"You assholes better run you bloody woke me up!"

Ciel's POV

Sebastian chuckled and I looked up from the book I was reading based on the Tudor dynasty. Sadie was reading another book she found in the library that caught her attention. My butler was looking out the window and I hoped the intruders didn't hurt my servants and knowing the gun shots woke up Catherine my sister was raising hell. Let's face it Catherine was scary when you woke her up.

"Let me guess Catherine is angry she was woken up?" Sadie asked the demon.

"Oh very" Sebastian confirmed. "That reminds me I need to check on Esme"

I gave Sebastian a wave letting him know he could go.

Sebastian's POV

I gave Esme a light kiss and my daughter smiled in her sleep. She was quite the sleeper despite there being so much noise.

My wife was probably still annoyed so it was best if I kept my distance until she calmed down.

Later That Evening

Catherine's POV

Sebastian suggested I take a dip in the hidden hot spring before bed. So after nursing Esme my husband took over with our daughter and I went outside to said location. I met Aisu and he was absolutely adorable. He and his sister were in their larger forms keeping guard.

After stripping my clothes off I ventured into the warm water which immediately began to relax me.

"It would seem my suggestion is working" I heard my husband's teasing voice from behind me.

"Esme is asleep I take it?" I inquired not looking at the demon butler.

"She is and don't worry Little Dhampir should she wake I can easily be at her side in an instant"

This was true Sebastian could get somewhere else in a blink of an eye. And due to his demon abilities my husband knew when our daughter was awake even if he wasn't in the same room with her. I took a peek and Sebastian was already undressing himself. He saw me watching and smirked.

"Are you sure I'm the pervert darling?" he inquired.

Immediately I blushed and turned my head away. It had been awhile since we last had sex mostly because of Esme. Even though she was a baby there was no way in hell an act of intimacy would ensue in her presence. I just hoped my daughter didn't inherit her father's demon desires when it came to sex.

"Are you nervous Catherine? That's not like you love" Sebastian purred from behind me. "Or perhaps I should take your mind off of your current thoughts"

His words made me shudder and Sebastian chuckled knowing he had me under his spell. He turned me around and he was just as bare as I was. Well the hot spring covered our lower body parts. The demon noticed I winced and my damn breasts hurt. I nodded my consent and Sebastian began to massage the soreness out of them.

"I'm sorry my love your still hurting" Sebastian apologized. "I know your breasts are painful when they get like this"

"Just be glad you don't have to deal with it" I teased him.

"I don't like seeing my wife and mate in pain" the demon butler pointed out. Thanks to his skilled fingers my breasts no longer hurt and I wrapped my arms around his neck. My mate wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him before he pressed his lips against mine.

A moan escaped my mouth when my husband pushed his tongue into my mouth and it began to dance with mine. The demon then lifted me upwards and my legs went around his waist on instinct. It wasn't long until we were well you know. Our love making ended when I had enough of the hot water. My neck had various bite marks thanks to a certain butler.

"These bite marks better be gone in the morning" I told Sebastian after he and I finished dressing. My husband flashed me a mischievous smile and I smacked his arm in a playful manner. I squealed when Sebastian pulled me towards him and dipped me beneath him claiming my mouth with another mind blowing kiss.

When he finished the demon butler then picked me up into his arms and he kissed my forehead.

"Your are such a tease" I joked.

"Well I am a demon my love and simply one hell of a butler"

Like Catherine I hate being woken up when I'm not ready lol and I hope you guys like Aisu. Also I've always loved reading anything related to the Tudor dynasty.
