Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own or make money off of any of these characters. They are wonderful to play with though... and if I did there would be way more Dyson/Kensi scenes.
Sorry for the long time in updates, life and the end of the term get in the way... I do hope you like this little bit though...
Saturday afternoon came around and Kensi was sound asleep. Dyson slid quietly out of her bed, pulled on his jeans and wandered downstairs wondering what the hell he was doing. Being with Kensi felt right, even his wolf was content spending time with her. Bo had never made him or his wolf feel contented. Pissed, agitated, hopeless, though he was pretty sure it was never love. Maybe he'd never known love at all. If he thought about it he had spent a great deal of his life keeping his distance from love. Bo had been so intense, but he wasn't jealous of Lauren, or any of Bo's other conquests. He knew she was incapable of monogamy, but even so he had expected to feel jealous after Kensi got his love back. He'd been really worried about the small woman for the last several weeks. Now that he discovered she took on a group of shifters on her own and managed to survive. He knew something was definitely going on and he wasn't sure exactly what it was, but he'd never experience the kind of joy he felt in simply being near her... maybe it was love after all.
Dyson put on a pot of coffee and started rooting around in the kitchen for something to cook for them. He had pulled out eggs and flour to make some pancakes when he heard Kensi scream. Faster than even he thought he could move he was upstairs and at her side. She was dripping in sweat, tangled in the covers, moaning and whimpering…she was whimpering his name. Not Bo's, his. He dropped to his knees next to her… rubbed his hand down her back and she screamed again - until he moved closer and she sniffed and started to calm down. He took note of this but put it aside for now in order to calm her. He said, "Kensi, sweetheart...Kensi, wake up little love… Kensi baby, you're having a nightmare. He ran his hand over her cheek; she nuzzled into it, moaned softly, and opened her eyes.
"Dyson?" Her voice was soft and husky from sleep and screaming.
"I'm here sweetheart, I'm here." He got off his knees, climbed onto the bed and took her in his arms. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you ever again, I promise." Kensi rubbed her face against his chest, "D you cannot be with me 24/7. It just isn't reasonable. It was just a bad dream I've had them for years, I'll survive." He kissed the top of her head and wasn't sure he should believe her, this seemed more like terror than a bad dream, but he let it go for now.
Dyson smiled down at her, "Leave it to you to pick out the details rather than just accept I want to protect you." Kensi sighed and put her hand up to his cheek, caressing him a bit – "I love that you are here for me D, but I know my not being fae puts a huge kink in things, not to mention your love being elsewhere."
Dyson kissed her gently, and yet as gentle as he was he recognized her scent change, even his gentleness apparently turned her on. "I'm not sure that is true, or really ever was." Kensi grinned at him and said, "I'm pretty sure I've been human for the length of time you've known me." Dyson lay down and wrapped himself around her body so he could hold her and whisper in her ear, "My love seems to have never been Bo's." This made Kensi flip around in his arms, "what?"
"I've been thinking a lot about it, and well my wolf has been… close to the surface." He saw the worried look in Kensi's eyes, "It's not a bad thing; it's who I am. The thing is, the love I felt most intensely was always when I was with both of you, and well I've come to realize it wasn't ever Bo. I'm not pining or hurt that she is with Lauren, I want her happy because she's my friend." Kensi put her head on his chest and all but purred against him, "If you are beating around what I think you are than I guess I'll lay my cards on the table, too." She was looking down, resting against him, but he wanted to see her beautiful face and eyes so he put a finger gently beneath her chin forcing her to look at him. "And what might those cards be my small, ferocious lover?" He grinned softly at her. Kensi kissed him intensely; when she pulled back she whispered, "I love you too, Dyson." He kissed the top of her head and laid his on it.
Kensi whispered, "so, sounds like we're in love, but I thought it couldn't happen cause I'm just human."
Dyson shook his head and moved away from her, "Kens you aren't just anything and as a human you have done things most fae have never dreamed of let alone done. In just the past couple of days, you fought and lived through near death more than once. It's something most fae never dream of. I feared death a few times in my life, but it's been a very long time and you have shown more courage than any being I've ever met, a multitude of times since I've met you."
Kensi grinned, "keep complimenting me like that wolf-boy, I kind a like it, but that doesn't change my question – don't you get in trouble or something." Kensi sat up after asking that. The sheet pooled around her waist and suddenly Dyson had trouble focusing. She laughed and said, "I'm up here D." He looked up at her big, blue-grey eyes, "sorry I was momentarily distracted. No, there aren't official rules for light fae or anything and there is no one who can change how I feel sweet girl."
She looked at him and ran her fingers over his face. "Didn't you say that once before?" He shook his head, "let's just say I didn't understand, and when you... saved me, again, I couldn't help but really see you." Kensi laughed, "What being in my body didn't give away all my secrets?" Dyson smiled at her, "did being in mine give away all of my secrets?" Kensi replied, "I wouldn't know I was too busy freaking out; of course I will admit to admiring just how hot you were."
Dyson laughed; Kensi thought it was the best sound in the world. She scrambled around and straddled his waist. "So, I was thinking it's gorgeous outside, or so my phone tells me, and I think we should I don't know go walk around in the forest or something. Hang out in the daylight then maybe a drink at the Dal before heading back here for more mind blowing naughtiness." Dyson couldn't remember a time he had felt as content or happy as he was right now, and he was game for anything Kensi could throw at him. "sounds like a plan to me."
He noticed Kensi gnawing on her bottom lip. He put his hands on her hips and rubbed his long fingers gently over her lower back, "what's up?" Kensi shook her head, "nothing really, are you sure no one's gonna be mad at me." Dyson was confused by the question, "what would anyone have to be mad at you for?" She tilted her head to the side, "uh, you."
Dyson shook his head and pushed himself up to sit against her headboard, pulled Kensi against him, and replied. "I have no idea who would be mad at you, can't think of anyone who has the right to chose who I love more than me… I'm not mad at you. Do you want to keep this between us for now?"
Kensi vigorously shook her head, "hell no, too many damn fae think you're hot and if you're mine I want them to know that." He smiled and kissed her nose. "Ok then we'll go to the Dal for supper and drinks tonight." Kensi slipped out of bed and began looking for something to wear; Dyson stretched out on her bed and enjoyed the show. She pulled out two pairs of panties, one black, one red, both lacy. She held them up to Dyson who commented, "I like the red, they'll show me more of your delectable ass." He settled in and put his hands behind his head. Kensi shook her head but couldn't help the grin sprouting on her face. She pulled out the matching bra which caused him to whistle. Kensi grinned at him and shook her head. "So are we doing something foresty or what? I do need appropriate clothes and boots you know." Dyson shrugged, "what do you want to do?"
"Besides you? Um, we could go down to that lake you like and I don't know watch nature or something." Kensi stood there thinking, for once she showed none of her typical modesty. "I don't know, is that what you want to do?" Dyson chuckled, "I am game for whatever you want – you know I am happy to go to the lake." Kensi grinned, "that means you need to get out of my bed – want to stop at your place to grab some clothes?" He nodded, "probably not a bad idea." Kensi pulled on a pair of tight black jeans and a blouse that slid off one should and was the color of her eyes. She finished the outfit with her trusty pair of doc martens, not the sexiest outfit in the world, but good for tramping about in the woods.
The couple stopped at Dyson's loft so he could shower and change clothes; their intended momentary stop lasted several hours when he talked her into sharing his shower. Afterwards they did indeed spend the rest day near the lake and wandering the forest. They asked questions and told stories getting to know one another better. Dyson found himself telling her things he'd only ever told other fae and then only under duress. She learned about his family and told him portions of her past; however, she stopped in the middle of a story turned to him, put her hand over his heart and said, "you know how you said you had time to get over your past? Well, I'm still working on that and if you get all upset when I tell you something bad happened to me you're gonna be upset a lot. I don't want that."
Dyson sighed and put his hand on her cheek, rubbing her bottom lip with his thumb, "I hate that you were mistreated, that you had to survive for so long on your own, and even now I am filled with a desire, no... a need to protect you. I want to show you, to make you see just how amazing you are in my eyes." She wrapped her arms around him and held him close, "I'm trying, and each day I've been with Bo, and after meeting Trick, Hale, and especially you D I'm learning, it's still hard. The bad, even believing I'm nothing but a stupid human well it's easier to believe."
Dyson dropped to his knees in front of her and put her hand over his heart. "Do you feel that?" Kensi tilted her head to the side, "your heart? Yeah…" He grabbed her other hand and kissed her knuckles, "well it belongs to you, my wolf belongs to you, I want to spend the rest of our days proving that to you if that's what you need. I've spent the better part of a century alone Kens; I didn't want to find love. Love meant being vulnerable, opening myself up to pain. The kind of pain I never wanted to experience after watching kings fall and despots rise because of it. I didn't know what I was missing until you freed me."
Kensi kissed his forehead, and both his eyes – "tell you what if I can figure out a way to spend the rest of your days with you I will. I've never wanted children before, but I want yours. I've spent most of my life looking over my shoulder and with you I feel safe. I think we're getting a pretty fair shake here, even if it's still kind of freaking me out that I somehow got this lucky." Dyson laughed and pulled her to him, he rested his head on her belly and she ran her fingers through his hair. Suddenly her stomach growled which made her blush and him laugh again. "I suppose we should head back to civilization since the sun is going to be setting soon and we still have to walk back to the car." Kensi sighed, "Pesky need for food, I've never been a real outdoorsy girl, but I think you might just make it grow on me." He grinned and they began their trek out of the woods.
Unbeknownst to either of them two dark fae shifters had been hiding out and watching them. They'd been watching the girl since she unexpectedly survived their earlier attack and injured one of their pack. They'd been waiting, watching, and hoping to grab her, sure that if they kidnapped the pet her master would surely come for her. The two watching had some news to report though, they weren't sure she was the pet of the succubus after all, perhaps she belonged to the wolf and if that was the case maybe they needed to find a way to get to him first.
