Leaning against the headboard in her room, Eddie cradled Mary across his lap and against his chest the entire time he explained the events that happened in New York with the Life Foundation. With the bedsheet wrapped around her breasts, she lay perfectly still with her cheek pressed against his chest and one of her fists balled into his shirt as she listened carefully. Occasionally, she would pause him to ask a question. Did it hurt? Could it hear and see them when it was inside of him?

Yes, it hurt every damn time, but it was a pain Eddie was getting used to and yes Venom was always watching and listening—especially when it came to Mary. Eddie explained to her that when Venom had full control, it was like their roles were reversed and he was the one watching inside what was going on outside. He explained how it killed him to watch Venom scare her and touch her like he did. Even as he said it, Eddie could feel the predatory being's rolling anger under his skin at his disagreement. No matter what he said and did, Eddie could not get through to the symbiote that Mary was not someone that could be shared between them.

"It…it felt as if it wanted me…" Pulling back in his arms she sat up to look at him but her words made her brown eyes look away, unable to meet his gaze as she finished the sentence. "sexually."

Giving her an understanding smile, he pulled her close until their lips meet. Fuck, his whole body grew heavy for her. Nothing he ever fantasized about came close to the sweet soft taste of her lips. Moving his lips over hers, she let out a small moan when he let his tongue glide past her lips. Eddie's fingers twitched to explore further, to push down that bed sheet and taste her. Pulling back, he felt a surge of inexcusable male pride at her glassy eyes and panting lips.

"He seems to feel everything I feel," he explained, his voice sounding rougher than he intended. Settling her back against him he focused his hands on the silky length of her hair, gliding it from top to the bottom in slow repetitive strokes. "The best way to describe him is to imagine a black oozing ball of urge."

"Urge?" Eddie could feel her confused smile against his chest.

Kissing her head, he nodded. "Yeah, urge or want. He doesn't seem to have any inhibitions, he simply sees it and wants it or thinks of something and suddenly has the urge to do it. There is nothing in between and hardly anything to stop him."

A shudder passed through her slight shoulders and he hugged her tighter. "There is me, however," looking down at her he met her worried gaze. "Venom may have adopted my desires," Eddie traced her bottom lip meaningfully with his thumb. "He also adopted my since of morals…for the most part. Meaning, he would never hurt you baby, I love you and in some weird way I think he cares for you too." Eddie prayed he was right.

Nodding, Mary looked away in thought before she settled back against his chest. Eddie would give anything to read her mind right about now. The silence that settled between them felt heavy and foreign.

"Baby, did you have any other questions?" Eddie wanted to add concerns, but he knew anyone would have a shit load of concerns if an eight-foot monster accosted you in your own bedroom.

Shaking her head, she didn't look him in the eyes. "Its getting late, let's try to get some sleep," she stated quietly.

Eddie felt like a stone just dropped in his gut. Watching her get up with the blanket still wrapped around her waist, Mary grabbed a nightshirt out of her dresser before letting the sheet fall to the floor. Eddie knew Venom was watching this, and hoped he was suffering as much as he was. Crawling back into bed dressed in her nightshirt, she took her position on the right side of the bed.

Turning off the light, Eddie pulled off his jogging pants and ripped his shirt off over his head. Settling next to her, he reached to pull her to him but paused, his hand hovering in midair over her shoulder. Doubt plagued him.

"Mary, talk to me," he whispered behind her, watching some of the strands of her hair move under his breath. "I know this is a lot, but I don't want to lose you."

One slender hand reached behind her back until it found his and pulled his arm around her until she pressed it against her breast. Eddie's groan mingled with her breathy sigh as they melded their bodies close.

"I love you Eddie, you won't lose me," she whispered in the darkness. He could feel the gentle vibrations of her voice pulsate through her soft breast in his hand. It took an act of God not to squeeze the soft round flesh appreciatively. "It's just a lot to take in. I can't seem to get that thing's—I mean, Venom's—smile out of my head. I know it says it won't hurt me and a part of me truly believes that." The hand covering his squeezed tighter, and he could feel her heartbeat pick up beneath his hand. "But my mind is slow to accept that large toothy monster just doesn't want to devour me like its been doing to the criminals around town."

Eddie stiffened. There was a moment of silence between them, only the loud whirring noise from beneath her apartment filled the air. "You figured that out, did you?"

The jolt of her laugh, shook against him. "Yeah, after listening to what you told me about New York it didn't take too much guess work to deduce your nightly runs aren't purely for health reasons."

Feeling like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders he pulled her tighter against him, burying his nose into her clean smelling hair.

"We will talk more tomorrow afterwork." He wanted it to sound like a statement but the seed of lingering worry he had made it sound more like a question.

"Yes, goodnight."

Clicking the bike into another gear, Eddie pushed the motorcycle into a higher speed racing the machine down the city streets. That morning when he got out of the shower, Mary was gone and when he went to her office she only gave him a wan smile through her office window as she helped out a student. Lunch time faired no better, when he went to see her later, after getting no reply from his text he was told she stepped out, and when four-o-clock hit and he raced to her office to only discover it empty.

Something was wrong. Everything in his body told him something was wrong.

Her silence last night, her avoidance, and now her disappearance. The urge to destroy something made his skull pound.

"We will find her, dammit," he yelled to himself as he rocketed the bike down the street to her apartment.

(We Will Find Her And Tie Her To The Bed And Make Sure She Never Leaves Us Again!) The symbiote roared in his head liked a caged lion.

Eddie didn't argue, because when he did find her Eddie couldn't promise himself he wouldn't do just that. Pulling into the garage, Eddie nearly turned over the bike taking the last turn onto their parking level too hard. Relief flooded him when he spotted her car, anger fueled him as he took the stairs nearly three at a time. It took all he could do, to quell Venom enough to allow him to use his keys to open the door instead of smashing right through it.

Opening the door with a great whoosh, Eddie stepped through to see Mary with the fridge door open putting away what looked to be groceries.

"Eddie!" her shocked exclamation went ignored as he slammed the door shut. Giving him a wide-eyed look, Mary quickly put the jug of milk she was holding away. "What's wron…Eddie! What are you…"

Taking three steps towards her, Eddie grabbed her above each elbow and hauled her to his chest until she was face to face with him and her feet were barely touching the ground.

"You leave this morning without saying anything," Eddie could hear his voice intertwined with the darkness of the beast within but he didn't care, he was angry and he needed Mary to tell him what the hell was going on. "You ignore my text and then you leave without telling me." Pulling her forward with a shake, he growled. "Tell me what's going on?!"

"Eddie, stop!" Pushing at his chest she made no impact on his hold, frustrated she glared at him. "I only went to the grocery store Eddie. I was buying more food, so you and," giving him a cautious look she lowered her voice in a whisper. "…so you and Venom, both don't go hungry."

Suspiciously, he narrowed his eyes at her as he still held her firm to his chest. "You have been silent to me all day Mary, and that isn't like you," he accused. Didn't she know it was killing him to think she would possibly turn her back on him? That she may not accept him with this change that has taken over him. He needed her, she had to understand that.

"Eddie," her eyes softened and her hands came up to lay on his chest gently, soothingly. "I was just thinking, I am just trying to take it all in. I…"

Eddie could hear her words and a part of him wanted to believe everything was alright but he couldn't shake the desperate manic feeling that still lingered.

Enfolding his arms around her, he buried his face into her neck. "We won't let you go, baby, we belong together. We will scare away any man you even look at. We wanted to kill that man the other night, but we didn't, we gave you a chance to come back home to us and you did." Leaning back, he ignored her shocked expression and dipped his head to meet her lips. His whole body rejoiced in triumph when he felt her relax in his arms.

"Wait," pushing against his chest he allowed her a bit of space to lean back and look at him, but not much. "You were the one that scared away Jacob that night at the restaurant?"

"Yes," Both he and Venom answered together, daring her to argue about it.

Giving him a reproachful look, she simply shook her head with a sigh. "Then what about what you said to Eileen?" There was a slight pout to her voice and her eyes held him in a challenging stare.

Eddie could practically feel the symbiote, who had been roiling underneath the surface of his skin up until now, slink away at her accusing stare. First, Eddie had to recall who Eileen even was, but even when he did he came up with nothing as to what he could have possibly said to the odd woman.

Seeing his confusion, Mary's perfectly arched black eyebrows furrowed even more. "You told her, we were just friends," she whispered.

Eddie didn't say anything, he had to think about what she was saying. Slowly, realization dawned on him and he gave her a slow growing grin. "Baby, I only said that because I didn't want the world to know we were related by marriage."

Mary didn't say anything, but Eddie could still see the slight pout to her bottom lip. Bending down he nipped at the delectable flesh.

"I also didn't admit we were related because if they ever found me in your office with my head between her your legs and your clit in my mouth I didn't want it to be weird," he growled in her ear, listening to her shocked gasp. "Now tell us Mary, tell us you want us," pushing her against the counter he arched her back over the counter as he trailed kisses down the column of her neck. "Tell me you accept us."

Moaning she ran her fingers through his hair as he stopped at the top of her breast. Unbuttoning her shirt just enough to expose her bra, he let his tongue slide appreciatively over the tops of the plump flesh.

"First, tell me that you really do love me," she demanded, grabbing him on either side of his head, Mary held his head still and looked him directly in the eyes. "Tell me you won't just leave me later."

The pain he saw in her brown eyes tore at his soul. In that moment he felt like he finally understood her pain she had been carrying for years. Every time he left her at an airport as they parted ways he always knew she was sad to see him leave but he wasn't sure if he ever really comprehended the amount of pain she felt until this moment. Eddie vowed he would spend the rest of his life making it up to her.

Grabbing her by the waist he hoisted her in the air and letting her wrap her legs around his waist. Burying his face into her soft chest he walked her to the bedroom. "Yes, baby, I love you more than anything."

Her beautiful smile felt like the sun's warmth on a cold day. "And you won't leave me, right?"

"Never, again."

Leaning back in his hold she gave him an odd look as her hands still framing his face brushed softly at his temples. "Do you both love me?"

Eddie could barely register the shock of the question before he felt the familiar stinging pain on one side of his face as the symbiote revealed part of himself.

Half monster and half human they answered as one, "Yes."

On his side of his face, Eddie could feel her fingers tracing small unknown patterns through his hair while on the other side she traced identical patterns on the taut shiny black flesh. His whole body purred at her touch.

"You will never hurt me, right?" Though she stared at him as well, Eddie knew that question was directed to his dark companion.

"Never," Venom growled.

Leaning forward, she did something that shocked them both. Gently, Eddie could feel the softness of her lips against part of his lips as she kissed them both. Eddie could feel the tremors of pleasure from the symbiote seize his body, as the creature struggled to maintain himself within his body. Eddie could feel its desperation to release itself fully and take over.

Cupping their face, Mary ran her thumbs lightly across their cheeks just underneath their eyes as her tongue glided over their lips and teeth. Eddie, could hardly believe she was doing this. There was no fear, no hesitation from her whatsoever he could practically feel the wetness from her core through her jeans pressed against his waist.

He wasn't going to hold back any longer.

His mouth covered her once more forcing a moan from her as he worked apart her lips. His tongue sought her as his hands roughly covered each cheek of her ass, gripping her tightly. Mary could hardly believe this was really happening, that Eddie was finally touching her exactly how she wanted him to. Glancing back at his face she was relieved to see that the symbiote was gone just leaving Eddie's determined face. Walking her to the bed, Eddie let her fall softly to the bed before he grabbed the front of her jeans. With rough precise jerks he had the denim unsnapped and down her legs in seconds. Mary barely had a chance to sit back up before she felt him pushing up her bra and snatching her open flapping shirt down and off her arms. Everything was going so fast.

"Eddie, wait," she put her hands on his chest, she wanted him to slow down a bit. "We have all night."

Stepping back from her, Eddie looked at her with an expression she had never seen before, like a man at the brink. His steely eyes told her he had no intentions of stopping and every intention on devouring her. A trace of utterly feminine panic seized her as she lay half naked with only her panties on and her bra pushed up past her heaving breasts. The way he was staring at her made her feel like some sort of sacrificial virgin on the altar of pagans.

Stepping quickly out of his own clothes, Eddie snatched off his shirt and threw it behind him on the floor. Now fully nude, Eddie stepped forward and placed one hand on her leg causing her to jump.

"Eddie," she whispered nervously, her lips dry as her eyes moved up and down his firm body tracing the line of each bulging muscle before stopping at the evidence of his arousal. Mary, felt like her throat closed up at the sight of it. For years she imagined what he would look and feel like, and nothing prepared her for the real thing. This was really happening, this wasn't just another one of her fantasies.

Grabbing her other leg, Mary could only lean back on her elbows and watch as he spread her legs. Mary couldn't suppress the moan when she felt his fingers glide across the hem of her panties she also couldn't deny the trace of fear she was feeling. Silent and dominating, Eddie stood towering above her like a man possessed. The carnal look in his eyes made her body tremble in unrelenting heat while her heart thundered in panic.

"Please, let's slow down," reaching for his hand that teased at her panties she smiled nervously.

His voice was hoarse and dark as he grabbed the edge of her underwear, Mary could feel his fingers curling around the material brushing against her wiry curls. "I have dreamt of you for so long, I won't wait any longer."

Yanking off the scrap of material, Eddie ignored her gasp as he picked up and held her thighs out into a wide V. "I have to taste you, I have to hear you scream my name," he growled as he pushed her back onto the bed fully and knelt between her thighs.

Mary's pussy throbbed with we heat at his words and proximity to her exposed flesh. With her legs spread he could see everything. "Please, Eddie," she moaned deliriously.

"Yes, that's it, beg for me baby," he ran his cheek up and down the satiny softness of her inner thigh, and she could feel the soft hairs of his whiskers brushing against her skin. "I'm going to make you beg all night, do you hear me?"

Placing a quick hot kiss against her folds, Mary nearly came off the bed at the sudden exquisite feeling.

"I'm going to fuck you in here, on the kitchen counters, with your face down in the couch cushions," again he placed a harder but equally quick kiss to her folds just below her aching clit. She could feel his smile against her thigh at her yelp in response. "I may even fuck you on the balcony, so the whole world can know who you belong to."

Grabbing the sheets in each fist, Mary felt like she was going to lose her mind. "Eddie please!" she screamed.

Finally, he lowered his head and covered her sex with his mouth, taking her aching pearl between his teeth and sucking. Bucking wildly, Mary clutched at his short brown hair between her legs as she rode the rhythm he set with his tongue. She didn't care. She didn't care what he did. He could fuck her in the street and she wouldn't care at all. The wet sounds from his mouth as he spread her legs wider filled the room along with her cries. With each lap of his strong wet tongue to her center Mary's hips pulsed in perfect sync.

"Eddie now," she mewled. "Fuck me now, I want to cum with you inside of me. Please Eddie."

She could hear him let out a deep curse as he pulled back and crawled above her. Planting one arm next to her head on the mattress she felt him position himself against her opening before anchoring his other arm on the other side of her head. Slowly she felt the girth of his thick cock push inside of her sopping wet hole and stretch her to her limit.

"Ohh," she cried at the tight feeling of being filled so completely with her brother's cock.

Above her, she watched in rapture as his fierce expression darkened as he reached the hilt and began to pull back out again. The look on his face scared her as she watched his massive body hover over her, dominating her in the most primal way. Wrapping her arms around his neck and her pulling her legs higher she prepared herself as he pulled back before slamming back into her.

The whirring of the machines downstairs muffled the desperate cries and deep grunts coming from her bedroom. With each thrust of his hips the headboard slammed back into the wall before creaking forward with their rocking momentum before slamming back into the wall. Over and over again, Eddie's hips slammed into hers filling and emptying her with his length until her body spasmed beneath his in her climax. Limp and moaning she continued to take the force of his body invading hers over and over again until she heard his final shout of completion and felt her body milking his hard length for every last drop.

Exhausted, he laid on top of her with his face in her breasts as they both breathed deeply trying to catch their breath.

"I love you Mary."

Tears forming at the corner of her eyes, she held him tight to her chest. "I love you too."
