"O-Oh!" I shakily exhale as Julius softly nibbles at my neck. W-W-What? So the rash wasn't actually a rash at all. It was only -

"H-h-hickies?" I tremble in his tight embrace thoroughly enjoying the gentle treatment as I tightly grip his shoulders in return. He bites a little harder making me jump.

"You do not need to say it aloud." Julius lightly scolds, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks.

"S-S-S-Sorry -!" I suck in a quick breath as he softly licks the area, reconciling from biting too hard. He pulls back a bit realizing he's gone too far.

"My apologies." He says as he leans back. Is he done already? Julius releases me but keeps me on his lap. "I didn't mean to bite so hard."

"T-That's alright." I breathlessly express with a faint flush. Wow~ t-that felt surprisingly good. Startled me when he bite me but other than that it was nice. I lean forward giving the big man a hug as I nuzzle my head into his shoulder. "It's fine, Julius."

"Do you ... want me to continue?" He asks, puzzled by my behavior but returns the affection. He hesitates before kissing the corner of my jaw, softly brushing aside my hair to reach it. A hum settles in the back of my throat as I tilt my head letting him have better access.

"I-If you want." I nervously stutter unable to look him in the eyes. That's so embarrassing! Again he pauses, judging my slight flush, before kissing just below my ear. I shiver with delight and tightly grope his clothes as a heated sensation shoots through my body. Whoa~

"Do you like this?" He asks in a somewhat serious tone. I hesitate with a faint flush.

"I-I don't mind it." I answer, embarrassed. Can't he tell I like it? I feel like I'm about to pass out it feels so good! He pulls back with a somewhat teasing smile.

"Really?" He asks before closing in to my lips, "then how about this?" The moment his lips connect to mine an electric shock shoots down my spine. My hands move on their own as they slide up his neck deepening the contact as I raise to my knees, pressing my stomach against his chest. His arms wrap around my back and hold me closer as my entire body is set on fire. This feels ... so good. I've never really kissed a guy before and this reaction is so alien to me. But it just feels right. Following my instincts, I lightly tug on his long hair, disconnecting our lips as I tilt his head to the side and feverishly kiss his neck.

"Unk -!" Julius grunts, startled by my line of attack as I gently work just below his ear. I kiss and boldly nip at the soft skin, encouraged to continue by his roaming hands. Wherever they touched my body strongly reacts, pressing hard against his body. What is this strange feeling that is literally ripping my body in half? Julius's hands move over my hips tightly gripping them as he as he moves his head back and out of my reach. I stay there in silence, looking into his flushed face with wildly burning eyes.

"O-Oh ... to-too much?" I nervously breathe.

"Yeah." He exhales before connecting our lips. I close my eyes thoroughly enjoying the sensation consuming my body. It feels so nice ... I hum as one of his hands slide across my back and to my stomach, lightly pressing. It feels so good ...

Wait a minute.

I stiffen as I feel both his hands on either side of my hips, moving and rubbing my skin through the pants, along with his hands moving up to my chest. I pull back with a loud pop, spinning around to spy Ace as his hands cup something that he's never allowed to touch.

"Yay~ looks like I get my threesome!" He sings as he pops forward kissing me on the cheek. I shriek and immediately shove Ace back, falling over the edge of the seat and out of Julius's arms. He grapples to catch my legs but misses as I awkwardly hit the ground with my head. I painfully groan as Julius jumps up, knocking my legs against the desk by mistake.

"Ow -!" I growl, painfully getting up while holding my throbbing head. Ow ... that really hurt ... can't Julius get carpet in here instead of freaking stone?!

"J-Jackie, are you alright?!" Julius asks as he helps me up me. Ace explodes with laughter hugging his stomach as tears escape his eyes.

"I can't believe you dropped her Julius!" Ace barely chokes out through his explosive laughter. Julius wraps his arms around me and hide my flushing face as he delicately pets my head.

"Quiet, Ace! Get out. You have no business here." Julius snaps. Ow ... my head really hurts now.

"Huh? Of course I do!"

"I never called you."

"A knight always knows when he is needed!" Ace cries with a bellowing laugh. Oh this nitwit ... what are we going to do with him?

"You are not needed here."

"Huh? Yes I am."

"For what?"

"My threesome!" He trills, enveloping both Julius and I in his massive bear hug.

"Ace, release me!" Julius growls as he slips me out of Ace's clutches, suffering with Ace's embrace.

"Awe~ gladly!" He cries slipping his hand to Julius's lower belly. My eyes grow wide as I scramble to come up with a way to save Julius. Panic begins to swell in my mind as he reaches the man's belt with a twisted smile on his face. Oh - Oh my gosh -!

"Ace!" I shout, trying to get his attention. He turns my way keeping his arm around Julius's thinner waist as he tries to undue Julius's belt buckle.

"What? You wanna join too?" He asks with a loud laugh. "Don't worry, you'll have your turn too!"

"N-No! That's not what I, uh, mean. Vivaldi is calling you."

"Huh? Really?" Ace asks, doubtful as he hugs Julius and muffles his shouting in his shoulder as Julius pounds away on his back. Oh that poor man ...

"W-Well yeah."

"But I was just there."

"On my way over here I ran into Peter who was looking for you. S-Something about a revolt going on?"

"Really? Cool!" He shouts, releasing the gasping man. Ace laughs Julius slumps over, clutching the corner of the desk as he tries to replenish his air. "Sounds like fun!" My feet are glued to the floor as Ace trots out of the office whistling a happy little tune before pausing by the door. "I'll be back tonight!"

"Coming from you that's a threat." Julius hisses under his breath as he covers his embarrassed face. I sigh as Ace leaves the room, lightly touching Julius's shoulder.

"You alright? Did he hurt you?"

"Just my pride and dignity." He sourly growls, running an aggravated hand through his long hair. "That knight just goes and does whatever he wants. It's bothersome."

"What else can he do?" I huff, rubbing Julius's back.

"True." Julius lets out an ill humorous laugh as he turns to me. His eyes grow wide as he shuts his mouth, staring at my head.

"Julius? What's wrong?" He remains silent observing something on my head.

"Do you feel alright?" He cautiously asks, gently cupping my jaw as he tilts my head.

"Well, I have a headache but other than that I feel alright."

"...here, lie down." He says, suddenly flustered as he pushes me to the couch in his office. I do as he asks, lying down as he props my head up with a pillow.

"Julius? What's going on?" I ask, a little freaked out by his behavior.

"Stay here and don't move." He orders, quickly walking out of the room. I listen to his rummaging through some things, glasses clinking as fabric rustles together. What's he doing? He hastily enters the room and pushes my head to face the couch as he sets the bag of ice on where I hit my head.

"Is it swelling?" I ask, trying to feel the bump but he brushes my hand aside.

"A little, yes. Let me get you some medicine." He quickly hurries to the hall before returning the next minute carrying a glass of water and some white pills. "Drink."

I reach up and obediently take the medicine keeping an eye on Julius's concerned face. "...is it that bad?"

"It's quite noticeable yes." He admits as he brushes his fingers over my cheek. I close my eyes and lean into his hand. He's nice and warm. I slightly jump as he leans down and kisses my cheek. "Get some rest." I reach up and catch his hand before he leaves, hesitating before going through with it.

"Stay with me?" I mean to make it a demand but it sounds more like a question. His cheeks have a touch of pink as he looks off to the side, thinking.

"...Very well." He answers. I sit up and pat the space with a shy smile. I'm being really bold right now. We just admit that we like each other and I have the balls to make him sit with me. He smiles and takes his seat, setting a pillow in his lap as I rest my head down.

I giggle as he aimlessly doodles designs over my face and neck tickling my skin. Every now and then he leans down sweetly kissing my defenseless face and throat making sure his affection gets across. I lightly squeal as he finds my sweet spot lightly clamping his lips over the sensitive area. I flush and reach up with my hands trying to block his mouth from the untainted area until now. He smiles at my efforts and gently sweeps my hand up, kissing the tips of my fingers. Julius stares deeply into my eyes before gently biting my middle finger, barely resting his teeth on the defenseless digit. Deep in his eyes a fiery passion begins to build up making me flush before he cranes my head, kissing my jaw.

"Julius ... ," I mutter with half lidded eyes staring out the window. Huh? "It's ... snowing?"

"Of course ... ," Julius groans, leaning back as he slaps his hand over his eyes. I blink, surprised by the action. Does this mean something bad?

"Of course? Of course what?"

"UGH and the lands have moved on top of it ... ,"

"Moved?"

"Yes. And all during April season."

"April ... season? Julius, what does that mean?"

"It means we are going to be having bothersome company for who knows how long."

"Huh?"

‡

OK so I need an explanation as to WHAT April season is. I would greatly appreciate the help. 10 REVIEWS for the next chapter~ I wonder who's going to be coming in and bothering them all? *evil grin*
