Here goes guys, have fun and excusxe me for updating late, my PC broke down and I had to write everything from anew... but now it´s here! Enjoy and many many thanks to all of those who reviewed! Oh, and one warning, the lime kinda turned out a little more hardcore than I had originally planned, since I had to write everything a second time, so... please tell me how I did.
When Sebastian came in the next morning, he found his master and her Ladyship in a compromisingly close position, huddled against each other in a deep embrace.
Chuckling silently to himself, he closed the door quietly and went downstairs to do some chores, until the young Earl and his fiancé felt like taking their breakfast.
A little while after that, Lizzy woke first, but refrained from getting up already, since she didn´t want to wake the still peacefully sleeping Ciel. She simply lay there, recalling the events from last night, letting the memories run through her mind again.
"I´m sorry, Lizzy, I can´t protect you. Not even Sebastian can."
"I wanted to see you, to give you one last explanation, so that you would know what really happened."
"I realized I can´t let you go, because I love you. I love you, although I shouldn´t and I know it will only cause trouble and pain, but I can´t stop."
"I´m one of them."
And then... the kiss. Truth be told, she actually hadn´t believed it to be reality, until he had kissed her the second time around. Looking back now, everything had gony by so quickly, yet when their lips had finally touched, she had felt like being stuck in time. But the fact alone that he was now lying beside her and yesterday had hugged her as if tomorrow were never to come, proved that everything had been real, for once.
And she just kept on reminiscing about what had happened, letting her gaze glide over his sleeping face, when she stopped as it fell upon his eye. She knew he thought of it as a brand, a sign that he was meant to move amongst demons, now even as one of them, and he despised it, but she found it beautiful, marking him as a powerful young man, willing to go his own ways and create his own paths, showing that he certainly was not helpless.
Carefully, she took his hands away from her back and placed them beside him, before slowly rolling over to her side of the bed and swinging her bare feet over the brim, flinging the covers aside and yawning, underlining this statement with two outstretched arms to either side.
Still a little dazed from sleep, she walked over to the boudoir, where she had put down her dress, but deciding not to change clothes yet, she opened the door, in search for the restroom and a good dive into the bathtub. With a last glance, assuring that Ciel was still soundly sleeping, she sneaked out, not bothering to close the door properly and went to do her morning toilet.
No one crossed paths with her as she roamed the corridors, until she came to the big, marbled bathroom, already steaming from heat. Sebastian must have already warmed it up, she thought, as she pulled off her nightgown and tiptoed into the wet, testing it´s temperature.
"Perfect..." she mumbled, letting herself glide into the warm water. Sighing and closing her eyes in satisfaction, she let herself sink into the comfort of this wellness until her shoulders were completely under water, putting up her hair so that it wouldn´t get wet. And once again, she replayed that fateful kiss from last night in her mind, still being able to feel his lips on hers and the beautiful feeling it had created inside of her.
After she had relaxed herself for a while, simply following her thoughts, she got up, giving in to the grumbling of her tummy and as she looked around for a towel, she realized that Sebastian, great butler he was, had thought of giving her an extra pair. Wrapping herself into the fluffiness of the cream white cloth she smiled happily, as she breathed in the sweet scent of maracuya, vanilla and peach, a creation surely originating from Sebastian´s potion mixing skills.
She rubbed herself dry and put on her gown, leaving the basin as quietly as she had entered it, sneaking through the house to at least be back at Ciel´s side when he woke up. But as she turned left, she realized she had taken the wrong corridor, for this part of the house seemed awfully like the part where the servants used to sleep. But curiosity took over, as she heard a stiffened giggle from the turning to her right. Following the muffled voices, she suddenly saw Finnian and Mey-Rin eavesdropping on a small oak door.
"So, whatcha think?" Mey-Rin whispered in excitement, barely even able to hush her voice, trying to stop her nosebleed and blushing all over her cheeks. "How long have they been at it before they fell asleep?"
"Eek, Mey-Rin, you pervert," Finny exclaimed, yet not blushing or grinning less than she did.
"Well, I always knew he had a crush on her, but I never knew, he´d actually..."
"Shsh,...don´t wake them...!" he puffed.
"Nah, they wouldn´t wake if Mister Sutcliffe would do a strip dance on the kitchen table, showing us his poledancing skills" she replied.
"What´s there to see?" Lizzy asked innocently, peeking up from inbetween them, trying to get a glimpse of what they were seeing through the keyhole.
The maid and the gardener froze in shock as they noticed who had spoken.
"Ah...Uhm..." Finny scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, we were..."
She cocked her head to one side. "C´mon, apparently it´s some love story I don´t know about. Please tell me, you know it can´t resist those..." she pleaded, giving both of them her best puppy look.
"Ah...well" Mey-Rin gave in, sticking one finger in the air. "But please don´t...be harsh with judgement, Mylady, it´s..."
Lizzy giggled, her voice held low. "Why would I judge anyone badly who obviously did everything right in love?"
The two servants looked at each other, shrugging.
"I guess...you´re right..." Finny whispered. And grinning like a cheshire cat, Mey-Rin tugged her over to the keyhole and let her look through it.
Through the form of the missing key, Lizzy could definitely see Bart, Ciel´s cook, in trousers and shirt, whithout his apron though, sitting on his bed, visibly fast asleep with a small, slim figure, cuddled next to him, one hand splayed on his chest and the other one lying in her lap, while one of his hands was in an undefined position around her waist and the other one was intwining it´s fingers with the free hand on her knees.
Lizzy recognized these brown, long locks anywhere.
"That...That..."
She had to hold herself from bursting out in a heartily laughter. Mey-Rin and Finny quickly helped her hold her mouth, before the two lovebirds could wake up.
"Well, that´s a couple..." she finally managed to sqeal after she had calmed down. "Who would´ve thought that Paula was falling for Bart...?"
"Yeah," Finny giggled, "I knew he had a major crush on her, but I never knew, it was requited affection."
The two girls sighed in unison. "Ah yes," Mey-Rin replied. "One in soul and feelings..."
"forever to be in one´s heart..." Lizzy added dreamily. The three of them looked at each other and burst into a fit of restrained giggles again.
"They make a cute couple," she stated once again. Finny and Mey-Rin looked at each other, still grinning, but when their gaze met, Lizzy could definitely see something in those meaningfull looks.
"You do, too, by the way" she whispered, a define twinkle in her eye. They stopped laughing and immediately broke eye contact, but their blush was all proof that Lizzy needed, to know that she had hit the nail on the head. But leaving it up to themselves, she turned round whispering one last "see you at breakfast" before disappearing around the next turn, waving before she got out of sight.
As she turned round the next corner, she nearly bumped against Sebastian, who saved the morning tea with an elegant bow, holding out one hand simultanously to catch her fall. Giggling, she let herself be pulled up again into a standing position.
"Good morning, Sebastian!" she greated happily.
He bowed in response, smiling. "I wish the same for you, your Ladysh..."
"Oh Sebastian," she interrupted him, "If you can´t call me Lizzy or even Elizabeth without any formalitys, then at least Miss Lizzy. Please." She offered.
"Well, If it is your wish, Elizabeth-sama..."
"Yes it is, Sebas-chan!" she grinned. "Oh, and I think Ciel will be sleeping in today, so...better not wake him yet."
"If you say so."
Sebastian looked after her diminuating form as she wandered down the corridor when a small smirk pulled up his lips. He wondered if something had happened between those two besides kissing and cuddling. Not that he was in any position to ask, anyway. But matchmaking was one of his favourite hobbys after all, and it had been him that had helped the cook and Miss´Lizzy´s servant to have to share one quarter. He had been sure they wouldn´t mind, and he had been absolutely right, but he had refrained from checking in on them after midnight, since he most certainly didn´t want to be a witness to THAT. Well, not that he thought they´d do it immediately, but you could never know. With another smirk, he took up his walk to the dining room again, where his master surely would want to have breakfast when he woke up.
Lizzy slipped through the half opened door, right the way she´d left it and went over to her fiancé, who was, to her surprise, still sleeping. She smiled to herself and leaned over him to give him a soft peck on the cheek. Yet he still didn´t waken, but his previous frown had been replaced by a small, graceful smile and he murmured
"Lizzy...don´t go..."
"Silly..." she giggled, "I´d never leave you, no matter what."
And he fell silent again. With a last loving glance she decided to get ready now and went over to the chair where she had put down her clothes. She hesitated for moment as she wanted to pull of her nightgown and decided to do her curls first. First she grabbed the brush lying there and carefully went through her golden locks. The the continuating rhythm of her movements let her fall once again into a daydream, she herself smiling at her fantasies. Then she put the brush down and attempting to part her hair into two equal halves, she raised her arms when she suddenly felt a hand around her waist. Turning her head, she looked into Ciel´s eyes, smiling down at her.
"Don´t do it." He said.
"Don´t do what?"
"Put your hair up."
She frowned. "Why not?"
He passed his second arm around her too, intwining his fingers before her stomach. "I wouldn´t say it doesn´t suit you, but... you don´t need to be cute for me anymore, Lizzy, just to make me smile. You´re much more beautiful this way."
She couldn´t help but grin happily at that statement. Leaning her head against his chest, she nodded into him and then gave him a quick peck on his lips, making him blush furiously.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty" she mocked him playfully.
"Well, a very good morning to you too, my prince" he retorted with the utmost sarcasm he could come up with at this time of day. "Who turned on the lights, anyway?" he asked, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance.
She simply shrugged, still smiling and letting go of her, he reached for his eyepatch, an accustomed movement every morning, but as soon as his fingers brushed against the leather, he felt himself repulsing against the thought of having to hide the thruth day after day, especially before her. He took his hand back and faced away.
"Ciel...?"
Turning to her again with one of the most kind smile on his lips she´d ever seen, he simply shook his head.
"I won´t be needing that anymore. Not around you, anyway."
And she replied with a smile, so similar to his in tenderness and love. Grabbing her dress and stockings, she went into the room next door to get dressed, leaving him to do the same.
After she´d closed the door and left, he thought long about what happened. The fight, his confession and the kiss. But he didn´t regret it at all, because for once in his life, he didn´t feel like having to put on an act before her. And she was the only exception. For her, he´d open himself up to the very last bit of his soul to show her how much he loved her. Because now he was sure she loved him back the same way and would for evermore. Sighing in content, he opened the buttons of his white blouse and went hunting for a similar one in his old cupboards. After he had completely dressed in the blue costume he had been wearing the day before, he went next door and knocked carefully.
"Oh...whatever...come in!" he heard her call.
He entered and saw his fiancé fighting with the many buttons on her back. Flushing red, he closed the door behind him.
"Ahem... can I...help you...?"
"Ah yes..." she replied happily, obviously not minding his presence. "Maybe you could close the buttons from the lower half... the rest I can do alone."
Ciel´s eyes narrowed and he began to think.
"Don´t you think it´s a bit small...?"
"What do you mean by that?" she asked, going into fits of blushing.
"Well, I think you would manage even without my help, if... well, if the cloth wouldn´t... be stretched so much..."
"Are you saying I put on weight?" she pouted, putting forth her lower lip.
"Uh, yeah, something like that..." he muttered under his breath. "Know what, I think I got something for you. Wait here."
With that, he closed the door and left her with an astonished look. When he came back, he held a beautiful green dress in his hands, from the looks of it alone, a very expensive material.
"Ciel..." she gasped.
"Hands up" he commanded and she pulled off her old dress, yet leaving on her underdress and raised her arms to the air so that he could help her into it. The wonderful cloth caressed her skin as it grazed her and she could smell a little perfume from it. It´s skirt floated around her like waves and it followed her every move perfectly. There were three white lilies growing from the left side corner and the blossomed right above kneeheight and a small, golden belt defined her waist line from it growing yet another small pair of lilies on the other side. It was nearly shoulderfree, yet with the right amount of chastity for a girl her age and she stared at it, mouth agape, in the mirror before her.
"This...I can´t..."
"It belonged to my mother." He stated. "But I guess, I´ll never be wearing it, so I think you´re the only one that´ll ever be worthy of wearing her things."
Lizzy nearly teared up. "Oh Ciel..." she whispered. "Thank you...I..."
"No, Lizzy..." he interrupted her "Thank you."
With that he took a step forward, pulling her into an embrace and an affectionate kiss, putting all of his feelings into this gesture. She gently complied to this act, hugging him tighter in the process. He broke away a little, noses still touching and smiled.
"No money could ever be worth what you did to me, but at least I can give something back to you." He said.
"Oh, Ciel, I´d do anything for you..." she smiled, wrapping her arms around him again."
"So would I for you" he muttered.
Pulling away after a while she wished had lasted longer, he took a step backwards and opened the door, waving her through with a slight bow and closing it after she had passed him, still smiling. They both made their way to breakfast with a slight reddening to their cheeks, but on midway, Ciel took hold of her hand.
She looked at him, at first astonished and surprised, but naturally, she didn´t push him away, instead she tightened her grasp and entwined her fingers with his. Walking hand in hand, they reached the library again, where she sadly hat to let go of him and she sat down on the couch once again. But everything was soon pushed into unimportance when she smelled the superb breakfast Seastian had prepared.
Speaking of the devil/demon, he came, as soon as Ciel rang the little bell placed at his seat and brought the tea, pouring it from the most beautiful bonechina pot Lizzy had ever seen. And you couldn´t say what tasted best, because everything was unique in it´s own way.
"You´re wearing quite a beautiful dress, Miss Lizzy," the butler remarked politely, complimenting her at the same time.
She blushed happily and simply nodded, not wanting to spill the mouthful of tea on her tongue.
"Good point Sebastian," Ciel retorted " which reminds me." he handed his butler a small note with some numbers on it. "Go into town and order five of these. Same length and style. Choose the patterns as you wish." He commanded.
"Yes, my Lord."
Waving his hand, the boy dismissed him and with a last bow, Sebastian departed. He closed the door behind him and Ciel concentrated on his breakfast again. When he looked up from his toast, he could read the curiosity in Lizzy´s eyes, but he simply smirked.
"I´m not telling."
"I wasn´t asking."
"But you want to know."
"´Course I do! But I won´t ask." She replied stubbornly.
He let out a laugh. "Good. Then I won´t have to answer."
"Oh, Ciel, you´re so mean!" she giggled, trying to seduce him with an affectionate batting of her eyelashes, but he naturally wouldn´t give in.
Seeing as she had finished her meal, he stood up and held out a hand. "Do you want to play something for me on the piano?"
She nodded happily, regaining her 'bounce' and sprung up, tugging him by his sleeve through the main hall, up the big stairs and into the music room, her now open, blonde hair waving behind her as she pulled him along. She practically flung herself on the stool and waited for him to finally catch up with her.
"Well, at least one of us is awake" he mumbled.
"Oh Ciel, don´t be such a lazy bone" she commented as he walked towards her and heaved himself onto the piano, legs dangling from the beautiful instrument.
"Start playing" he requested.
She smiled and put her hands in position. When her fingers moved over the keys, drawing such wonderful tones from it, Ciel lost himself in the peacefulness of the music, gazing at her, thinking nothing in particular and simply listening to the world she created with her movements, a world, in which they both belonged, together on one side of the map, united in a strong will and the power of love. It ended too soon for his liking, just as the two dances they had shared yesterday, but he asked for one more, and one more after that and yet another, until she had nothing more to play from her memory. Looking up at him, she made him understand that she was finished.
He smiled and jumped down, motioning her to move aside and took place next to her on the bench.
"How about you improvise?" he asked.
She shook her head, her golden locks bouncing around her face.
"I´m not so good at that. How about you play me something?"
He grimaced. It had been such a long time since he had actually played, but for her, he´d try.
"Ok. But don´t be harsh with judgement, I haven´t played in a long time."
A small grin tugged at her lips. Don´t be harsh with judgement , she´d heard that sentence already today. But as soon as the first melody came from the keys, she stopped thinking. For the music he played somehow was a mirror of his soul. It was complex, yet beautiful, twisted, but with defined lines and a recurrent theme and she couldn´t believe he was actually playing this simply without any notes or something. This was a completely new composition flowing from his fingers and representing the feelings inside him. And just like her he played on and on, but she didn´t have to ask for a continuation, he didn´t stop for a long while. For whenever he´d look upon her face and see how utterly happy she was and how the music enchanted her, he said to himself that he could play on a little while still. And it didn´t even bother him.
When he started to play a softer tune, she snuggled close to him, gazing deeply into his eyes and she wondered whether he would miss the keys if she were to kiss him now.
But every daydream and magic of this moment was crushed as the unmistakeable sound of the doorbell echoed through the hall.
Ciel sighed in dispair and ended his song with a beautiful chord, jerking his head towards the door, motioning her to come along with him. She smiled cheerfully, even although she was a bit sad that they had been interrupted so rudely, but she ran ahead, nosy to see who it was, because Ciel didn´t have guests too often.
Too late did she realize that he had told her his presence was a secret and that actually nobody knew that he was in England. But she had already slithered to the door and put the hand on the knob, anyone with good ears would know that somebody must be home.
And ever more so, the moment she opened the door, the second she regretted it.
"Good day, Miss Midford."
Oh, some people really deserved a broken nose. Or better, everything broken. Before she could do anything about it, the man that had knocked entered, forcing her backwards if she wanted to avoid body contact and grabbed her hand, placing a slimy wet kiss upon it. Disgusted, Lizzy´s mouth turned upside down.
"Sir Rendersom" she replied dryly, trying to show all her dislike in these two words.
He smirked in response. Lizzy furrowed her brows, noticing two scars, marginably visible running down his cheek.
"I am very pleased to meet you here, dear Lady," he replied, bowing to her once more, "For I came here in the purpose to find you."
"W...Who told you I´d be here?" she stuttered, now angry that he had dared to stalk her.
"Some people in town say, you often pass your time with... well, let´s simply say, unique people."
Thank god everyone´s unique, the world would be destroyed in two minutes if we had two of him running around, she thought. But having to keep her cool, she forced a smile and look up expectively at him. He flashed her a smile, probably thinking it to be attractive, or even flirtatious, she simply found it disgusting.
"I´ll come in, shan´t I ?" he remarked, taking a step forwards, and shutting the door behind him, closing in on her position, still grinning like a skull on the graveyard.
"Uhm..."
Wipe that grin off your face, you monkey. If thoughts could kill, he´d be dead twice over.
Trying to suddenly sneak a hand around her waist, he attempted to pull her into kiss, when her reflexes activated and she gave him a good bitchslap right in the face.
"How dare you try kiss me, you impertinent dog! Who do you think you are?" she yelled, fuming from rage and raising her arm to hit him again. Completely taken aback from her aggression, he tripped and fell over his own feet, trying to evade from her anger by crawling backwards.
The surprise on his face shortly showed his true expression, until he remembered his status and got up again, grabbing her wrist, the element of surprise not longer on her side.
"And who do you think you are?" he raised his voice against hers.
"Actually, ..." And at that moment, Lizzy was never happier to see Ciel in that cold, stoic attitude on the middle of the stairs, his human eye glittering with anger and self-restriction and with every word he spoke, he took the stairs step by step towards the baffled man, waying each syllable on his tongue.
"She happens to be Elizabeth." Step. " Ethel" Step. "Cordelia" Step."Midford." Step. " Heir to the Midford family." Four steps. "Daughter of my mothers sister," the last steps he took fluently, walking up to Lizzy and placing his hand on her shoulder, nearly as if he wanted to claim his property.
"My cousin, my fiancé and the wife of the Queen´s Watchdog" he finished. His demonic eye, covered by his bangs, was not visible, but she could almost feel its hungry glare.
"And you happen to be...?" Sir Rendersom nearly spat.
"The Earl of Phatomhive." Ciel smirked. "And the last person you will ever speak to, if you don´t leave my property this instant."
Lizzy cuddled herself closer to Ciel, passing a hand around his waist and laying the other on his shoulder, simply stating whom she was siding with. But unfortunately for him, Sir Rendersom was not willing to comprehend that he had lost and he drew his sword.
"You´re nothing short of an Earl" he hissed. "You could never be the heir to the Phantomhive company and I don´t think Miss Lizzy could possibly want to marry a child."
"The only person behaving like a child is you, for you don´t know when to leave or how to accept a game lost." Ciel retorted, placing a clearly visibly hand on Elizabeth´s hip.
"Then let´s fight for it."
The young Earl raised an eyebrow and looked down at Lizzy, who nodded at him barely noticable and smirked with the tiniest of smiles.
Letting go of her, he took back his hand and she retreated to the weapon chamber, bringing back a blade for Ciel, as one for herself too, well hidden below her dress. From the top of the stairs she didn´t even bother to call out to him as she threw him the metal with a swift throw directly into his hand, making Sir Rendersom realize that suddenly he had a sword at his throat.
"Touché." Ciel mocked. But the other man quickly moved to one side, Ciel letting him, because it would be too easy to kill him instantly. And the duell began, Lizzy remarking with the utmost of satisfaction that Ciel wasn´t even putting up half of his strength as he would have had as a human, which meant that if he kept it up, he could beat him without even having to access his demon powers.
The metal kept crushing and whenever it met, it would resonate in a high pitched sound, almost shrieking. Ciel wasn´t even sweating, but Sir Rendersom was ever more so. His concentration was at the fullest, but this boy simply wouldn´t fall for any of his tricks. Irritation began to spread amongst his face as Ciel won a wonderful parade, missing his eye by an inch and continuing as if nothing had happend.
"You´re not as good as I expected" Ciel remarked, becoming a little bored by the lack of entertainement.
This completely broke his nerve and with a quick gesture of Ciels hand, Sir Rendersoms weapon fell to the stone floor with a loud clang. At the foot of the stairs, Lizzy smirked. Now it was her turn.
Getting up, she walked behind the man, putting him between her and her fiancé. Ciel raised his sword again, but Sir Rendersom began retreating.
"F...Fine..." he muttered. "You´ve...you´ve won."
Ciel smiled evilly. "But that was not why I fought you."
The man gulped. "It...it wasn´t...?" And with a sudden sound of surprise, he noticed Lizzys weapon inbetween his shoulderblades. Her face was cold as ice as she glanced upon him, her head held high.
A shadow passed upon Ciel´s eyes and only the white of his teeth could be seen as the evilness showed through that grin.
"I want revenge. I want to give you the same humiliation Elizabeth had to feel for being put under pressure in public and most of all I want to give you a warning you´ll never forget."
And with that, he charged at him. Lizzy had no time to think about his words as her body took over the control and the only thing she was thinking about was how perfectly she and Ciel moved together against the once so cocky man. But although it was two against one they never managed to hurt him in a lifethreatening way. In the course of the fight, he had had to take in a few injuries like a graze in his face, a large cut to his knee and one right across his back. But Lizzy noticed that he was growing weaker and weaker and his movements went more and more uncontrolled.
It was rather unfortunate that Sebastian came in, thus breaking Ciel´s concentration and giving Sir Rendersom the opportunity to hit the sword out of his hand. Before Lizzy knew what she was doing, she had taken two steps and had flung herself into the air screaming, aiming her flight straight at the triumphantly grinning man who wasn´t grinning as selfcontent anymore when he felt the sharp blade penetrate his chest. They both landed on the floor and Lizzy pulled out the bloodstained metal, looking at the man below her in disgust.
"Don´t you ever dare do that again" she hissed.
She could see that her victim was falling unconscious, but suddenly he started to glow in a red light and he began lifting himself into the air, hovering there for one moment until the light began to flicker and a huge rat emerged out of nowhere, holding the nearly dead Sir innetween its large front teeth. Before Sebastian could do or say anything, the rat blinked and disappeared into a black hole, leaving nothing behind but two small bloodstains from the body, dripping onto the floor like a last warning.
Lizzy was trembling from adrenalin as she sank to her knees, but she soon recovered again as she remembered Ciel and jumped up, turning around only to see him at her side, ready to catch her if she fell.
"You okay?" he mumbled.
She simply nodded, closing her eyes and yanking her arms around him, his scent calming her excited heartbeat.
Sebastian bowed in apology. "Forgive me, young master. I should have protected you."
Ciel was to tired to be angry. "It´s too late now anyways. Just get the mess cleaned up, bring the things I ordered into the right room and put up a nice hot bath. I don´t think we´ll be needing supper, thank you very much." he uttered, putting his arms around the still trembling Lizzy and pressing a kiss upon her forehead.
Sebastian commented this gesture with a raised brow, but complied to his masters wishes as the young Earl softly pushed away the girl and led her to her room, holding her hand. If the demon had had some glasses, he would have pushed them up his nose and sighed. But as he didn´t have any, he simply went to tell Mey-Rin and Finny to get it done, as he would prepare the young masters bath.
But even after the visit in the steaming hot water Lizzy could not relax as she sat upon her bed, still dressed in the green dress she had worn all day. A knock made her head jerk up and she quickly openened the door. To her relief it was Ciel.
"Are you alright?"
She bit her lip, weighing her head from one side to the other, not being able to say yes or no.
"I don´t know " she finally confessed, her eyes widening as she found herself in a sudden embrace.
"Just tell me Lizzy" she felt him mutter against her head.
"I...I´m really glad I hit him, but on the other side...I´ver never...I mean,...I´ve never actually killed...someone."
"But that´s not the only thing bothering you, is it?"
She chuckled slightly. He knew her too well for her own good.
"I didn´t like...how he wanted to claim me...as if it wasn´t obvious as hell that I belong to you...he just saw me as another woman to toy with..."
Ciel didn´t have to say anything. His silence completed her thoughts and brought comfort and peace to her.
"Ciel..." she whispered "can...can I ask you a favour?" she felt the heat raise to her cheeks. This was insane and comletely inappropriate. She shouldn´t be doing this at her age. But she didn´t feel her age, with Ciel she felt much more mature than anywhere else and she was so willing to take that step.
"Anything..." he mumbled back.
"You sure?" her emeralds looked up at him, so insecure.
He pulled away a little, yet still letting his hands remain on her waist, eyes widened slightly. "Lizzy...what the...of course, anything!"
She sighed once. "Okay...then... make...make me your wife."
And for one moment he looked the same eleven year old boy he had been a few years ago, flushing the most beautiful colours of red.
"You know I´d marry you the instant we step into a church, but I don´t think any priest would give us his blessing at our age."
"I don´t...I don´t mean it that way." Her fingers clutched into the fabric of his costume and she let her head hang in shame. "I want to be truly yours, Ciel...and I don´t want anybody to claim me in any way. You´re the only one I´d ever allow to be by my side...and we...we wouldn´t need a blessing...for..." she swallowed.
When Ciel pulled her into a hug again, she could feel his racing heartbeat and could almost imagine how his face was looking like. In fact, he had closed his eyes and was frowning.
"I...honestly, Lizzy, I´d do it. But do...do you know what you´re asking for...?"
He could feel her nod into him. A little silence followed.
"But what if I lose control...what if I hurt you..." he muttered more to himself than to her.
This time she pulled away and he noticed she was crying again.
"Then I´ll bear with it, because I said I loved you no matter what. And the fact that you love me although you have a demon inside you proves that I am more important to you than your inner darkness wants to admit. And I don´t mind, if it´s you... scars heal, you know...?" she tried to smile softly, but it turned out rather sad due to her tears.
He closed in a little. "But...you are sure about...this?"
She nodded and leaned her forehead against his. "I am and I..."
But she was cut off by his lips pressing against hers. And for a moment she could feel his desire for her, flaring like a fire being heated up again after it had died down. The kiss soon turned into a more heated one, until she had to gasp for breath, but he wouldn´t allow her to part from him too long. Step by step he forced her backwards, responding to her eager kisses. Her hand started to tangle in his hair as did his and her golden curls soon were claimed by his grasp. The other one she let glide over his cheek and when she felt the matress against her knee, she knew they had arrived at the bed.
He hovered over her lips for a moment as he placed his hands over the zip at the back of her dress. She simply leaned in to show her approval, molding her lips against his as he started to undress her. The green cloth soon fell to the floor and she took her hands from his face, letting the jacket of his costume glide from his shoulders, immediately starting to unbutton his shirt underneath. In the meanwhile he had heaved from her shoes onto the bed and stepped out of his own, leaning her in an almost upright position on the mattress and kneeling with one leg inbetween her own. Slowly, he started to push up the shorter white dress she wore underneath and she shivered in pleasure as his hands stroked her.
For a moment she allowed herself to refrain from her actions to stare in awe at his muscular form, letting her fingers glide over his chest and he looked down on her, wondering how long he could take this without loosing his mind in her beauty. With a sudden movement she pulled him down to her, letting her head sink onto the sheets and with a light shove he pushed her a little upwards so that they were now completely lying on the bed. She started to angle her leg, entwining it with his own and he could feel himself get hard down there.
"Lizzy." He murmured inbetween two kisses. She stopped and looked at him attentively.
"Whatever happens tonight...You´ll always be mine and only mine, no matter what...and you´ll be the only one I´ll ever love."
With that he pulled off the last of her clothes covering her chest and leaving her only in her panties. Letting his hand run over her torso, she shivered as they came to rest upon her breast and he let himself fall sideways, turning her in the movement and grabbing her neck to kiss her ever so intense. His hand on her body went roaming south, until he came to where her spine ended and with a quick movement, she flung her leg around his hip, rubbing her core against his hardened length. In an almost synchron movement they removed the last peace of cloth from each other, throwing it carelessly out of reach, too busy claiming each others lips. And Ciel could feel the demon in him stirring. Or was it his own lust? He didn´t know anymore.
He only felt her against him, her frame fitting ever so perfectly into the gaps he left. Flicking her twice over, he came to be on top and she could feel his full erection between her legs.
"Are...are you ready...?" he asked.
She nodded and closed her eyes as she knew what pain she had to be expecting. But when he got into her, she could help screaming. Stars danced before her eyes as she felt...everything. She arched her back into him as he starting thrusting back and forth, in and out of her. She screamed his name and he moaned hers as with every thrust he went deeper until she felt both of them cumming to the point of climaxing.
And when Ciel came, something in his mind switched. Something took complete control over him and still staying inside her, he started licking his way from her jawline to her ear enjoying the moans he elicted from her. Because fun wasn´t over by a long shot.
"C...Ciel...ngh..."
"Yes, Lizzy?"
"...hah...what are...you..."
He took back his tongue and grinned mischievously. Pulling out of her, he leaned back and waited until she opened her eyes. When her emeralds showed, he tucked a lock of her golden hair, meanwhile splayed on the sheets, behind her ear. And when her eyelids fluttered open, she realized his normally deep blue eyes were glowing a bloody red. And she knew that his demon had taken over because in any other situation Ciel would have never lost control. To her own surprise, she smiled. It didn´t matter what form he was in, he was Ciel. And she loved him for that.
And as she smiled, the demonic red in his eyes flickered. And Ciel, the true Ciel, the one captured in his own soul, began to fight. He fought to regain control over his body, to regain control over his life. He didn´t want to be a bystander while his first night with the one person he had ever come to love and he most certainly wouldn´t lose to himself of all persons. Her smile reminded him of everything he had been through, good or bad and he knew that she had always been with him. Be it physically or in his mind.
Lizzy realized the inner fight he had to be going through, because he didn´t say anything, he just lay there, holding himself on one arm on one side of her head and the other one right next to her tummy. His eye colour changed from red to blue and back again and then he started gritting his teeth.
She cupped his cheek with one hand.
"Ciel. Listen to me."
He focused on her, yet now clenching his fists.
"Whatever side of you wins, I don´t really mind. Because both of you are Ciel. And I love you."
With that the red died down, leaving a sweating, trembling Ciel behind whom she gazed deeply into his blue irises.
"Both...of me?" he panted.
She nodded. "I don´t believe you actually are a demon, Ciel. It´s simply something that has taken over the dark part of your personality. It´s a part of you, but it´s not you. Not completely. You may think this darkness inside of you has taken the upper hand, but I know better. You can be gentle, but just because you can also be fierce, it doesn´t mean you´re bad."
Ciel looked at her, disbelievingly. Although she wasn´t into the cuteness of the world anymore, she still thought positive of him in every way.
But still, he felt somewhat ashamed that he hadn´t been able to control himself. Sitting himself up, he faced away and turned, so that he wasn´t lying on her anymore.
"I´m sorry." With a nervous gesture, he flipped a few wet strands of hair from his face with a short jerk of his head.
He could feel the bed bend as she sat up too.
"For what. For wanting me?"
His head turned round in surprise. He had been afraid he had hurt her, but she seemed completely unafraid.
"Well..."
She chuckled and crawled behind him, sneaking her arms around his waist, hugging him.
"I don´t think there´s anything to apologize for."
With that she let go of him and crawled further, until she sat on his lap, both legs to one side and she passed her arms around his neck.
"And it most certainly doesn´t make you a bad person, just because you want your desires fullfilled."
"Lizzy..."
Next she put her legs to either side of his, arousing him once more. Feeling him harden under her made her smirk even more. Maybe she even be able to make him come a second time. This time with a little more foreplay.
"I wonder..." she said, putting one finger to his chin. " ...what your demon form would be like..."
"Wha..."
"I bet it would be a dog" she stated happily. "You are the Queens watchdog after all"
He stared at her. With a seducive look in her eyes, she glanced at him from inbetween her eyelashes and giggled.
"If you are the dog, then I shall be the cat..." she said, starting to close in on him and forcing him to lay down on the bed again.
Ciel looked away, now blushing again. "Well, Sebastian is more into cats than I am...but if you say you are one..."
He looked at her again "...then I guess you´re my cat, aren´t you?"
She giggled. "You think you´re a demon, just because you want me? Then I´ll show you how much of a demon I can be..."
With that she closed the gap between them and started rubbing her butt at a slow pace against his length while she let her hand glide from his cheek down to his collar bone and chest up down to his abdomen.
"Li...Lizzy..."
"Nah..." she whispered into his ear "Now´s my turn..."
With that she started licking his ear, just as he had did before and with every lick she moved further down, making him blush furiously. She wasn´t blushing less, but she could always push it on the heat the both of them were radiating.
Leaving her hands at his stomach, she arrived at his erected member and grinning up at him, she began to run her fingers alongside it spreading all of the precum on her hand.
He gasped, but didn´t say anything, for it simply felt too good.
When she finished massaging it, she licked her fingers one by one, still smirking.
"Mhmm. Sweet."
To give proof to her statemet, she bent up and gave him a kiss, but as soon as she had stuck her tongue inside his mouth, Ciel knew what she had meant. It really was somehow...addicting. Then she went back to licking again, only this time she wasn´t messing around with only his ear. Just as she had said, like a cat she licked the cum from his tip and wrapped her tongue around his length.
"Ngh...Lizzy,...don´t..."
She giggled again. "Why? Am I messing with your head?"
Indeed she was and Ciel could feel his demon wanting to come forth again but he gave a shit about that right now. At the moment, he was really too preoccupied. In the next moment, he grinned. Grabbing her shoulders, he gently pushed her back and went down on his knees, taking hold of one of her creamy legs.
"Let´s change roles, shall we?" Now it was his turn to smirk.
"But..."
But an objection he would not hear, as he started running his tongue from the inner side of her thigh up to her core, where he started to circle his tongue around her lips and savouring the wetness she gave away.
"...C...Ciel..." she threw he head from one side to another, gripping the sheets in pure bliss at this treatment.
"Ah...y...yes..." and even more liquid came from her as he continued to stimulate her further by stroking her legs and placing one of them on his shoulder to have a better position. Up his tongue went and down again, back and forth like he had before, until he felt ready for a second time and moved over her again, placing his tip at her entrance.
"Now,... let´s... let´s try again" he whispered, still a similar voice as he had had when his inner demon had come to show, but his vision was clear and he was in complete control now. She nodded, as their hips crashed together but she couldn´t scream as his mouth covered hers, leaving her to come to witness her own taste he still had left on his tongue. Only this time, when he started to thrust again, he went slower, almost enjoyinh her begging for more.
"Oh...Ciel...please..."
"What...what is it you want?"
"Go...go faster...deeper, Ciel...please..."
He left her in suspense for a while, until he came to a little pause, simply wanting to hear her beg for more one more time. But she wasn´t as cooperative as he thought, because as he wanted to pull out, she sunk her nails into his shoulder.
"Don´t...don´t pull out...leave it...in..." And she flung one leg around his hip, sinking him even further in. Ciel let out a surprised gasp. They simply lay there, panting and gasping for air, but the scent of arousal and their lust hadn´t died down yet, both of them still craving for more. So Ciel started to push back and forth again, suddenly leaning backwards and pulling her with him, so that she was now riding his dick. She pressed her lips on his as her walls clamped around his length in her orgasm and as she continued the rythm, she felt him spill into her, her throwing her head back and screaming his name. He helped her by holding her tight and exausted, she sighed and slacked together as her hormones told her they were finished and Ciel supported her with one hand on her back and let his nose glide from the valley between her breasts to her shoulder.
" Now you´re truly mine" he whispered and in response she flung her arms around him like she had done so many times before, only this time, unlike the past years, he returned her hugs, leaving her so happy and fulfilled like she had never been in her life before.
With a swift movement, he slid from her and lay himself next to her, hugging her firmly letting her snuggle against him, just like they had last night.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you, I need you and I crave you" Ciel whispered back. He entwined their legs one more time, leaving as little space as possible between them as both of them steadily fell asleep.
When Sebastian came in the next morning, he found his master and her Ladyship in a compromisingly close position, huddled against each other in a deep embrace. The only difference to the last time was that now, the clothes were all over the room.
When the demon had decided that in future his lordship could get up by himaself when Miss Lizzy was there, he went to prepare breakfast.
The door closed and Lizzy giggled. Openeing his eyes, Ciel smirked at her.
"So...you´re in for breakfast"
She shook her head vehemently. "Nope. I´ll just enjoy a little free time with you."
He chuckled and she felt the humming in his chest as he did, since her head was layed against it.
"By the way, what was it you had Sebastian fetch yesterday?" she asked.
"Well, that was an order of five dresses for you, since you´ll be living here a little while, until your parents come back."
Both of them grinned like two school kids until he added "Although I don´t mind which clothes I take off you..."
"Ah, so you´re implying we repeat yesterday...?" came the question with batted eyelashes.
"Sure,...you´re free tonight?"
