The Varia gardens were not a necessity so I never understood why we had them. But we did and they were mass gardens that were put together very gracefully. It had a variety of multi colored tulips, carnations, daisies, pansies, primroses, jasmines and roses. Along with tall green bushes surrounding them and pure marble that created a walkway around the gardens. My task today was to take care of these marbelous creations that surrounded the Varia manor. And I wasn't a big fan of flowers but I loved the way they smelled, especially roses. Which there were plenty of them in each garden. I gathered enough servants to help me and we began. And I chose the black roses to tend to first. I approached the dark delicacies and breathed in the sweet smell of nectar that caressed the inside of my nostrils. I plucked one from its the bush and held it against my lips. It was velvety and wet to my skin. I was given a pair of long sharp scissors to cut thorns or invading weeds, and began to work. And during the whole time, as I cut away wilted flowers and trimmed bushes, a pair of crimson eyes watched me from the Manor window. Glaring not out of rage but with utter softness. And as I turned around to trim another bush our eyes met, and for a moment it staid that way. I was too far away to read his expression, but it didn't seem violent or angry. He seemed completely calm. Then he turned and walked away. And two strong arms wrapped around my waist and creamy lips brushed the top of my head.
"Squalo" I softly said. His long light silver hair tickled my face as he nuzzled his nose into my neck. I had to remind myself that I belong to him now and displayed fake affection by sighing from the sweet kiss upon my skin. And while he delivered kiss after kiss, I could only think of those calm pair of crimson eyes. I don't think I've ever looked Xanxus in the eyes since our interview and even then it was only a glimpse. They were supposed to be cruel, careless, lustful, and raging with pure madness. Yet his gaze towards me was so unnaturally delicate. Maybe I judged Xanxus too soon, but after remembering the whole being drunk incident I thought otherwise. Squalo brought me out of my musing and back to him, turning me around to face him and connecting our lips. I brought my arms around his neck and deepened our kiss, but he wanted more. And nipped my bottom lip playfully. I parted my lips just enough for his slick, wet, tongue to come in and roam the inside of my mouth. And I moaned softly for him, earning a deep growl to erupt from his throat as his hands wandered my body lovingly. I giggled and pushed him away slightly, ending our session. "I should be working",
"Do it later" Squalo said, bringing me close again and tried to kiss my lips. But I placed a finger on his and glared into his eyes nicely. He snarled, but did leave and I returned to tending the roses. On the opposite side of the black rose bush were white roses. I took one that was beginning to wilt from its bush and held it in my hand. It had an arousing but overwhelming smell of nectar, and it was cushy and light in my hand. Like how cotton feels.
"Peano~ love!" I heard Lussuria call. I dropped the white rose,
"Over here" I replied. He came towards me doing a weird dance that looked like mixture of samba and hip-hop. "
"Uh, what are you doing?"
"I'm just so H-A-P-P-Y!" he cheered, throwing his arms in the air and swinging them left to right. O-okay...
"But Besides that I came to tell you that you have another mission, and it's in a different country" I lifted a brow. He decided to become serious and halted his dancing act.
"You'll be accompanying the boss to Japan to meet with the Vongola Tenth"
