Catherine's POV

Automatically Jeremy was suspected of the murders but the priest had an alibi. He had seen a play and the mere trip to the manor from his destination would have taken two hours or more due to the weather. He was eventually untied and Arthur gave him a recap of everything that happened so far. Jeremy then suggested each body be moved to a separate room.

Suddenly I sensed Esme was waking up so I excused myself to go see what she needed. The little minx needed blood and I made sure she was in my arms securely before I made my way to the kitchen.

Thankfully there was no one there as I took prepped the bottle and Esme greedily began to suck it down. A few minutes later she finished and I put her on my shoulder to burp her which didn't take long for her to do.

"Oh my apologies"

I turned to see Jeremy standing in the doorway. He shut the door behind him and a smirk came to my lips.

"No one's around for the moment Sebastian"

"Well that's a relief" came the voice of my husband. He skillfully removed his disguise. My mate then walked over to me and he kissed my forehead.

"Your a good actress Little Dhampir"

"Easier said than done" I growled.

I then grabbed his jacket collar and claimed his lips with mine. I made the kiss quick and it felt damn good though I was annoyed when I had to end it. "Seeing you in a pile of your own blood scared the hell out of me and Grey noticed the bite marks I gave you from the other night"

Sebastian smirked before he placed his forehead against mine.

"This will end soon my love" he promised. Esme whimpered and Sebastian took her from me.

"I'm sorry my Little Raven I've made you sad in my absence" he told her as he held Esme close to him.

"She wanted you that's for sure" I confessed. "She was very fussy after the discovery of your murder"

"I know I felt her distress" my husband agreed.

"A demon thing no doubt" I stated. "Ciel wasn't happy you put a whole bunch of damn cats in the closet in your old quarters"

"Well my love you know I can't resist cats and I was running short on time before I had to get back to the wine cellar"

I rolled my eyes and Sebastian kissed Esme on her forehead before giving her back to me.

"I will see you later my love until then keep up the charade I am dead"

"Oh I will but this damn thing better end soon I hate pretending to be a damn widow"

Sebastian smirked before he kissed my forehead and he was quick to put his mask back on and he left the kitchen as Jeremy.

For the rest of the day I got some sleep which thankfully wasn't disturbed. After making sure my little girl was tended to I joined everyone else for dinner which was delicious by the way. Then it was on to business on who was behind the murders. However it involved Ciel's assistance and Jeremy suggested he undress but Sadie and my brother said not a chance in hell. Instead Ran-Mao would wear Ciel's clothes to lure the murderer out.

We would just hide in the shadows until the murderer came to Ciel's room. Hence where we were right now and Esme was still sleeping. It turned out to be a bloody snake and a venomous one at that. I mean it was a bloody Black Mamba which was the one of the most venomous snakes in the world. One bite meant certain death and since Phelps had been sleeping in Ciel's room the poor bloke met his fate by the venomous serpent.

The venomous snake was put into a vase and Doyle wondered where the serpent came from. Then he looked to Woodley and the diamond manufacturer got a panicked look on his face. Apparently Siemens faked his own death at first by drinking something that rendered a person unresponsive for a certain period of time. Siemens faked his own stab wound until he was murdered for real.

Ciel would get the blame but that plan was foiled after glass shards were found in Woodley's fireplace. Jeremy put the bottle back together using the shards of glass. Since Woodley's company was going to be threatened by Funtom the bastard murdered Siemens intending Ciel to be responsible.

Woodley protested his innocence but the fool was caught. So Woodley was chained up and led out of the room by Lord Grey.

A Bit Later.

Woodley would be escorted back to London in the morning by Lord Grey and the other guests would take their leave as well. After putting Esme down for the night I took a shower. In fact I didn't even change into a nightgown when I came out of the bathroom but I did put one close by to put on later. I covered my naked form with the sheets and lay my head down on the pillow. I drifted off for a bit until I was woken up by Sebastian's cool lips on my bare shoulder.

"Sebastian you know I don't like being woken up" I scolded my husband.

Sebastian chuckled before climbing on top of me. He was only in his black dress pants and I blushed like a fool.

"Oh Little Dhampir I was going to apologize for making you suffer my fake death" he teased.

To prove his point he rubbed my soaked entrance and I growled in pleasure. The demon smirked before he claimed my lips hungrily with his. It didn't take long for me to become lost in my husband's seduction. Thankfully Sebastian didn't pursue intercourse but he did however pleasure me in other ways.

He took his time licking and biting my breasts which now had multiple bite marks on them. I had to control myself when he had fun with my hardened nipples which always drove me crazy. Next he licked my thighs in a slow manner which felt bloody fantastic. Last he actually slid his tongue through my womanhood taking his sweet time tasting my arousal.

I ended up losing control of my release and my husband was enjoying tasting my juices.

Wanting my own turn I rolled our bodies so I straddled Sebastian's lap and had him beneath me. Let's just say I ended up giving the demon more pleasure than he did me. By the time I was finished his neck was covered with bite marks from yours truly.

"Do you accept my apology for what I put you and Esme through?" Sebastian asked. I was still straddling his lap and his hands were on my hips. I noticed his wedding band was back on his left hand and I brought his hand up to my mouth. I kissed each finger before giving my husband a mind blowing kiss of my own.

He moaned in pleasure as my tongue danced with his. I didn't stop until I needed air.

"Don't pull another charade like this again" I warned and Sebastian smirked knowing he earned my forgiveness. "I love you too damn much to lose you for real Sebastian"

I actually shed a few tears and my husband wiped them away.

"I'm sorry but even your fake death scared me I can't live without you Sebastian"

I felt stupid for acting like this but damn it I couldn't help it.

Sebastian sat up and he pulled me closer to him. He lay his head where my heart was.

"I love you and Esme more than you can think Catherine, you are my bride, my mate, and the mother of my child and I am proud of you for handling yourself so well in my brief absence"

I looked into his eyes and he meant every word he spoke.

"Your still a bastard"

"Oh my love I am just simply one hell of a butler" the demon corrected with a wicked grin.

Awww! Esme wanted her Daddy. That's why she was fussy at the beginning of the last chapter. And Catherine shedding tears because she loves Sebastian that much well I think it's pretty damn romantic XD.
