Chapter 19: Family Time

Having a relationship meant two things one I was having sex on a regular basis and it wasn't just once a day no with Oliver once was never enough. He also liked to vary where we'd end up lately the shower had been his favorite location; him hot, wet, his thick erection slamming into me over and over again made it mine as well. However all that sex had one tiny little downfall; his mouth had been everywhere marking my skin as he traveled up and down my hot sweat slicked body. I brought my hand up to my neck softly touching the line of marks that he'd left along the skin. They were all about the same size but some were light little bite marks while others were deeper indicating he'd taken his time sucking against me as I moaned and screamed against his fantastic mouth. This trail continued down past my collarbone and over both breasts; I used my hand to examine the soft tissue and found that I liked it. I actually liked the fact that you could see his desire for me splayed across my skin. "Felicity what are you doing?"

My head whipped around to behold my…and that's when it really hit me he was no longer my boyfriend he was my fiancé. The reason for these new marks across my breasts and between my thighs was because I'd said yes. Smiling I stood still mostly naked as I moved towards him once in front of him I stood on my tiptoes kissing him softly. "I was cataloging the various ways you've written your name rather loudly across my once soft supple skin." I moved closer my bare breasts sliding up and down his still damp chest. " I was hoping you'd allow me to do the same." I was on my back in seconds the towel covering his ever growing bulge was gone as he moved down my body kissing and sucking as he went. "Baby…ahhh…right there…oh god keep going." I felt his tongue massaging my clit as my hands moved up my once again sweaty skin towards my breasts. I palmed them gently at first using the tips of fingers to pull and elongate the nipples as his tongue and lips explored my core sucking and licking me to my breaking point. "Ahhh baby…keep going…oh god…I feel…I feel like I'm going to explode." His pace increased with every rough and ragged word that escaped past my lips. My own ministrations increased each time I heard him moan against my hot inflamed skin.

"Almost baby…faster…ahhhh…right there…I'm so close." My hips bucked forward hard against his mouth begging for the release that was fast approaching. My skin was on fire as he massaged my hips with his strong sure hands keeping time with the pace set by his erotic mouth. Suddenly I felt it the tingle as the fire ignited in my blood pushing my organism forward as I came hard against his mouth panting and screaming his name until my voice was no more than a silent utter. His head moved forward licking the sweat from my skin as he trailed his tongue up past my engorged clit past my pelvis and up my abdomen. I felt my legs tense against his hips as he came forward pulling him down against me so that his hard elongated shaft lined up with my opening. His tongue was between my breasts as I shifted beneath him pressing the bottoms of my feet against his calf's. Closer and closer he came his tongue now trailing achingly slow up my neck; that's when he moved. Right as his lips met mine he thrusted forward causing me to scream against his mouth.

He moved with a rapid unrestrained pace moving harder and harder within me as my legs clamped down harder my hips moving in time against him. He'd engulfed my mouth his tongue delving deeply memorizing as he went. My screams were muffled and swallowed as he kissed me slowly, languidly and hard. My nails pierced his skin as we moved harder and harder against the other going faster and faster until our bodies shattered around us. "I love you…I'll never tire of this…never." He was panting against me our lips still ghosting against each other as we filled our lungs with air. "God you're incredible…are you always this…"

"Erect? Only around you…there's just something about being inside you it makes me …"

"Feel like you're coming home." I smiled once again as his lips descended down onto mine kissing me for long arduous minutes. I winced when he pulled out missing the full feeling the moment he was gone. "Oliver not that that wasn't…" I paused still slightly bereft of air and then continued my voice still sounding of screams and sex. "Amazing but how was that me claiming you?" He just smiled and turned around allowing me to gaze upon the panes and contours of his well defined back. During my gazing session I spotted them, long deep red claw marks all down his muscular and toned body. My fingers moved aching to touch the skin, to feel where I'd claimed him, where I'd written my name across his tanned skin. "Like what you see?" I just smiled kissing each mark before he turned around once again facing me. "Like how it felt feeling my nails digging into your muscled back?" His growl was answer enough. "Want to see how much I liked it?" His body once again drawing me forward like a magnet that I was uncontrollably drawn to. "Oh I will but this time I'll claim your neck, and then I'll claim your cock." I reached down at that moment and palmed him stroking my hand along him as his eyes slammed shut and his body shuttered beneath my touch. "Do we really have to go tonight?" His voice once again growing lower and deeper as his hips grinded against my rapidly moving hand. "Yes and if we don't stop this soon it'll be midnight by the time we get there."

His response was to kiss me hard as he pushed me against the wall bringing his hands down atop of my own moving us faster and harder against his rock solid shaft. Within minutes he came screaming my name as I sucked along his neck leaving a deep bruise against his skin. "Now we can stop after all I gave you two organisms and now you've given me two as well." Moving away towards the bathroom to clean up before dressing his back was turned to me when I yelled out from the doorway. "Oh and Oliver…" He turned his beautiful face focused entirely on my own. "It was actually four." With that I sauntered forward leaving a laughing Oliver Queen in my wake.

"Are you sure about this?" I was wearing a the red dress from our first and technically only date and inspecting my cover up job. "I mean this might be a bit too much for my first dinner with your family don't you think?" He'd donned the suit he'd worn earlier minus the tie and I had to control myself as my mouth went dry just from the sight alone.

"Felicity my mother will appreciate that you got dressed up for a dinner in her opulent home. Remember she's Moira Queen and she always is dressed to the freaking nines." Biting down on my lower lip I once again turned to glance in the mirror my face was perfect and my hair was down framing my face in soft almost whimsical curls. "I still don't know I mean maybe I have something that's better suited for this type of setting." I was headed towards my closet when he reached out grabbing my elbow as he gently pulled me closer leaving less than an inch between our bodies. "You look…god baby you're breathtaking alright and I happen to love you in the color red so please wear it for me."

I choked back my audible gasp he'd never called me breathtaking before and frankly I wanted to hear it again. "Breathtaking? You think I'm breathtaking?" His smile changed from soft and comforting to small and erotic. "You Felicity take my breath away each time you walk through the damn door." His voice was low as his eyes darkened making his blue eyes radiate with heat and lust. I licked my lips feeling my mouth go completely dry as I noticed the charge between us ignite causing the air in the room to crackle and spark with electricity. His rough calloused hands that had brought my body untold amounts of pleasure moved up my bare arms softly and slowly before reaching my shoulders and finally tangling in my hair. With a sharp pull he tilted my head back bringing his lips down towards my own. I felt small sparks of electricity the moment his skin moved against mine as he devoured my mouth easing my fears and thoughts with each hard demanding pull of his lips as they claimed me heart, body and soul. I felt dizzy when he finally pulled back my lipstick staining his lips. "Does that fully answer your question my future wife?" Unable to form a coherent thought I nodded my head still lost in the way he'd just consumed my soul. He chuckled lightly grasping my hand as he pulled me towards the door.

"Oliver I love you" He stopped dead in his tracks tilting his head down until he was fully facing me. "I love you too." He didn't understand hell I barely did. "No I know you love me and I you but I…" I paused attempting to form the right words in the right way at the right moment. I felt myself growing unsteady as if losing my nerve before I'd even started. I took a deep long breath attempting to calm my heart and steady my body as I spoke giving him what he deserved my soul. "I love you as you are and for who you are." I stepped closer so our foreheads were barely touching as he leaned down closer to my body. "Your past is about to come back to haunt us both and I know that you were a different man back then who's done things that I frankly can't even fathom. I need you to know that I don't care; I don't care who you were, or what you did all I care about is you survived and now you're mine. I don't want anything or anyone to ever come between us because Oliver I love you with my whole heart and soul. Nothing will ever change how I feel about you…not even your past." I leaned forward pressing a light chaste kiss to his mouth as I felt my heart soar when he responded in kind. He understood and I knew he felt the same. With that we pulled apart both smiling as I grabbed my jacket and purse before heading out the door.

I arranged for John to drive us since she'd insisted that my bike simply wouldn't do. John had been parked outside her building for the last 15 minutes and I'm sure smirking as we finally emerged from her building. I'd released her hand as I opened the door allowing for her to climb in as I went around to the other side. John had been leaning against the driver side door so he'd grabbed my shoulder as I came around. "Check a mirror" My face shifted as my eyebrows scrunched together in utter confusion. John once again smirked bringing his gloved hand up to his lips indicating the problem. Using the side mirror to inspect what was causing him so much amusement I leaned down and starting laughing as well. Our kisses had left Felicity's lipstick stained across my lips. Without a word he handed me a tissue which I accepted as I began to wipe the remnants of Felicity's mouth off of mine. "Sorry we might have gotten a bit.."

"Distracted. Like you've been since moment you first kissed her." His smile growing wider with each knowing word he spoke. I just rolled my eyes and moved to open the car door where I would once again have Felicity's hand in my own. "It's a good shade on you by the way." I paused the door half open facing him once again not understanding the last statement. "Digg I'm not exactly a lipstick wearing type of guy." Smiling at my own small joke waiting for him to clarify the last statement; "No being happy it suits you." With that he opened his own door climbing in and starting the engine. I just smiled to myself as I realized that he was right being happy did suit me but being in love now that's what made me that way.

"Felicity would you stop my mother is going to adore you hell Thea already does." She'd been going over worst case scenarios in her head since the car moved from park to drive. At first it was cute she was nervous and babbling at rapid speeds. Now it had moved to worrisome. Felicity had many wonderful qualities, she was brilliant and that brilliance had saved my ass on more than one occasion. She was also funny and insightful as our coffee dates has proved. She had a way of making one feel completely at ease while in her very presence; in fact I'm pretty sure that's the quality that made me trust her the moment I laid eyes on her. She was also kind, empathic, nervous, had many very amusing brain to mouth malfunctions; she was perfect I just wish she could see herself the way that I always had. "Easy for you to say you don't tend to babble or make sexual innuendo's at the drop of a hat. Also need I remind you your mother…"

I'd found through the course of our relationship that the only good way to stop her from talking was to distract her mouth. Kissing her was like Christmas morning. Each time was just as thrilling as the last. I moved closer bringing my hands up to caress her face as I dipped my tongue softly against her own. She responded in kind her hands grasping my upper arms as she sucked against my lower lip. "Thank you I needed that." We'd pulled away once I felt her body start to relax against me indicating that I'd indeed garnered her full attention. "Good now would you please just relax, take a deep breath and remember I'm right here, I'll be holding your hand the entire time." She nodded her eyes however sparked with her still nervous energy. Leaning forward I pressed my lips to her forehead attempting to will my feelings for her into that one simple and hopefully comforting action. "I love you Felicity and they will because I already do." Leaning into my chest wrapping her arms around my waist she muttered softly against the fabric of my shirt. "Why do you love me? I lied to you for months, I almost got myself killed trying to speak to the Hood, I pushed and pulled you far out of your comfort zone, and now I've managed to force you into a proposal. You loving me makes absolutely no sense."

"What the hell has gotten into you? How…how could you doubt me after everything I have said and done…how can you still doubt that I'm fucking crazy about you?" My voice wasn't raised because John was still within ear shot but I was pissed I'd done everything under the sun to prove myself to this woman and she still didn't trust what we had. I expected her to say something hell anything that would be along the lines of calm down or hell for her to look ashamed but instead she just smiled. "Why are you smiling I'm truly upset right now and you're…" That's when it finally dawned on me thats not what she thought that's what she was afraid they thought.

"Catching on are we?" Her body still closely wrapped around mine she sighed explaining what she'd just done. "When I get nervous or anxious I vocalize all my horrible and retched thoughts until the words no longer hold any meaning or power of me." It was then that she peered up at my through her long beautiful eyelashes attempting to gage my reaction. "I didn't mean to upset you I just wanted all my fears and ugly thoughts released before I literally walked into the lion's den." My head came down to rest upon hers as my arms finally came to rest against her waist my own ragged breathing calming with each word spoken. "Felicity…"

"Yes Oliver…" her voice soft and content against my chest. "Next time warn me before you start spewing utter nonsense." Her small laugh lightened the weight that her previous words had caused to settle in my chest. "Deal…I love you too by the way." I smiled against her hair as we settled into a content silence the car bumped and curved through the city leading towards the site of my next potential outburst…home.

This house was always impressive but tonight standing before it looking over the massive stone walls, windows spanning as far as the eye could see it felt less so. The house "intimated" Felicity but for me it stood as a stone and mortar reminder of the Ollie that came before, the boy who drifted through his rich and privileged life never once thinking of his actions. This place held all my past memories and most of them I would have given anything to erase. Tonight I had a chance, tonight I was no longer Ollie but Oliver. I was no longer attempting to decide if Laurel was the one or what lie I was going to tell her to ease her correct assumptions. I was in love perhaps truly for the first time with someone was my match in every possible way. "Oliver…baby you still with me over there?" I'd been so lost in my own thoughts that I'd forgotten to walk through the open door. "Yeah sorry this place…it just…"

"Holds a lot of memories that you'd sooner forget than recall. I know but Oliver…" Her hand came up to cup my cheek turning my face towards her own. "You're no longer that man, you've grown and evolved into the man that I love and regardless of what name you go by or what costume you don I believe in you." With that she removed her hand sliding it down until it was once again interlocked with my own. "Now put on your game face and let's get this show on the road." Now I smiled in thanks as she marched us through the door straightening her back as she steeled herself for the battle that lay ahead.

"Felicity, Oliver so glad you could make it. I was beginning to wonder if you were still coming." My mother ever the tactful soul. She'd moved with the grace of a queen towards us kissing my cheek and Felicity's in greeting. She looked beautiful as always in her cream colored slacks, black button up shirt, and matching sweater. Her golden hair down framing her face in soft waves. "It's my fault mother I was late leaving Verdant." She just nodded accepting my excuse as she trained her gaze upon Felicity her eyes roaming over her with a critical eye. "Felicity you look stunning I'm so glad my son's dating someone who actually dresses for the occasion." I felt her body relax immediately at the compliment.

"Thank you Mrs. Queen, and thank you for the invitation I'm looking forward to spending some time with Oliver's family." My mother smiled and whether or not it was genuine still remained to be seen.

"Please call my Moira please come in no doubt Thea is dying to meet you." I smiled at the mention of my sisters name eager to see her and for her to meet Felicity. I caught Felicity's eyes roaming through the opulent setting, she was in awe as we walked down the hall and towards the living space with both fireplaces burning brightly and Walter seated on the couch.

"Felicity it's so good to see you. Oliver always a pleasure to see you actually at home." Felicity smiled and blushed all at once as I snickered slightly responding in kind. "Well I've been spending a lot of time with the woman beside me can you really blame me for being absent." Felicity hid against my side as Walter's smile grew. "No Oliver I can't she's a good match for you son." Now it was my smile that grew as Felicity moved even further into my side attempting to hide beneath my skin her face turning redder with each passing moment. My head bent down towards her golden crown as my lips lightly ghosted a kiss to her flushed heated skin. "Yes Walter she is." By now he had moved off the couch and was standing before me holding out his hand which I accepted feeling that maybe just maybe Walter Steele was truly a good match for my often calculating mother. He smiled once again towards Felicity as he moved to stand beside my mother who was about to speak when I heard her voice as she came bounding down the stairs.

"Alright where is she? Where's the reason that my brother is never home." Speedy my beautiful kid sister who sadly was no longer a kid; but now a teenager on the brink of adulthood. Thea came running at me slightly jumping into my arms just like she did the day I came back home. However this time there was blonde woman firmly attached to my side which made our usual greeting a little harder to accomplish. "Ollie she's hot well done." Now I scowled Felicity was already nervous enough without Thea adding in her two cents. "Thea this is Felicity…Felicity this loud mouth shrimp is speedy my sister." Using my hands to gesture between two of the most important women in my life; my voice amused despite my slight irritation with my sister. Felicity finally regaining her voice detached from my side and held out her hand but my sister being my sister just grabbed her pulling her into a tight embrace.

"We're going to be great friends I can feel it." I was shell shocked as was Felicity who paused for several moments before wrapping her arms around Thea speaking quietly in response. "You know what I think you're right." Since Thea was facing me I could see her smile as it expanded warming my heart with each word that Felicity's soft voice spoke. However my small amount of peace was about to interrupted when my mother's stark but still regal voice shattered the innocent bonding moment between the two. "Alright Thea that's enough release the poor girl dinner's ready." Walter with his hand against the small of my mother's back led them into the formal dining space as I waited for Thea to release her tight grasp on Felicity. "Come on let's go and listen as my mother goes on and on and on about nothing." Her tone one of utter mocking as she grabbed Felicity's hand and started pulling her towards the other room. "Ollie come on we can't keep the Queen waiting." I just laughed as I took Felicity's other hand interlocking our fingers as we moved. Felicity had missed it but I hadn't missed Thea's small smile at the sight of our entwined hands. My mother might still be an obstacle but Walter and Thea were defiantly on my side.

Dinner was thankfully held no shouting matchs much to my and Felicity's relief. I couldn't tell you what we ate or even if it was any good all I could focus on was the pressure of her hand as she nervously clenched my own. My sister loved her , Walter well he was already impressed by the sheer amount of positive changes that she'd implemented since working in the IT department. My mother however continued to use her icy and detached tone to take any positive comment towards Felicity and turn it into an astounding fact given her upbringing.

"No Moira really she's quite impressive it was her idea to reformat the firewall after the unfortunate incident with Merlyn Global." Walter has spent the better part of 30 minutes talking Felicity up I silently thanked him for his efforts with a small half smile.

"Really…I didn't know that was you Felicity. I can see why my son and Walter both speak so highly of your abilities." My heart hoped for acceptance but my ears heard the veiled threats. "Yes mother it was her as was the new software update that saved the company almost 1.5 million in possible lost revenue but hey that's not too impressive now is it." My tone clipped as my disappointment towards my mother grew.

"Oliver there's no need to be short with me it was an innocent comment…"

"Oh drop the act mother you've been mincing your words all night if you have something to say than say it." Now I was angry she'd spent all night cutting Felicity down from her job performance to her upbringing . Walter's face remained passive but his eyes were anything but; he may be married to my mother but he genuinely cared for Felicity. Thea's response however was priceless. "I agree what do you have against Felicity? She's great and she does nothing but make Ollie your son and my brother happy. Have you seen him mom he's smiled more in her presence in the past hour than he has around us in the past 7 months."

"Well I apologize for my behavior it was never my intention to make our guest uncomfortable." My mother's gaze fell directly on Felicity who had yet to say a single word in her own defense.

"Its fine Moira you were just attempting to gage my character were you not? After all I'm just the daughter of a cocktail waitress from Las Vegas who was accepted to MIT when she was 19 and graduated with my MBA. I'm just the woman who interviewed for my current job but because I was awkward you dismissed me without ever seeing that I had ten times the qualifications as the man you hired that I've now replaced. I'm just Felicity Smoak some poor little lost girl who was fortunate enough to fall into bed with your son right Mrs. Queen." That was as much as she'd said all night long in one swift breath. Her hand was now cutting of the bloodflow to mine but I didn't care she'd stood up for herself and she'd made my mother take notice.

"Well look who's found her voice. It appears that I've underestimated and disrespected you and for that I apologize but let's be frank my son has a history with only one woman. That woman is a brilliant lawyer who happens to go by Laurel Lance and you my dear are no Laurel." Her tone was filled with contempt and venom as she sat back sipping her wine as she did. I was about to retort but Felicity beat me to the punch.

"No I'm not Laurel nor will I ever be but I'm the one sitting here tonight, I'm the one who's had your son's undivided attention for months I'm…"

"She's the woman I intend to marry and Laurel is not." I hadn't planned on telling them until Felicity got more comfortable with the idea. I had a whole plan I was going to bribe Thea into ring shopping with me, then I was going to take her out on our 2nd official date with hopefully no bullets or bombs in sight. Then I was going to propose once again but this time with a ring. My mother however had destroyed that plan so I moved on to plan B.

"Given that fact I'd like grandmother's ring that you keep in the family fault. According to her will it was given to me so that I could give it to my future wife who happens to be sitting beside me." Her face was contorted in veiled rage as she slowly leaned forward sizing up her prey.

"I'll retrieve the ring in the morning if that suits you." I'd expected more than some short clipped response but she was playing the long game so I played along. "That'd be fine thank you. Felicity does that work for you?"

Her shoulders pressed back as she straightened her posture and spoke her voice clear and level understanding the rules of the game we'd just entered into. "Yes I can agree to that as well. Oliver it's getting late we really should be going." With that she stood keeping her body strong and still as she guided me out to the foyer not once taking a second glance as she moved determination set in her beautiful features.

Walter and Thea followed us out leaving my mother to silently fume at the now empty table. "Oliver, Felicity I'm so sorry she's been under a lot of strain lately." Always the devoted husband so I nodded as Felicity took the reins. "It's fine Walter she's just trying to protect her son, she's a good mother who I really believe only has his best interests at heart." He smiled softly gratitude coming off him in waves.

"Thea…" My sister came forward the two women grasping hands. "Call me tomorrow and we'll set up a time to have lunch I'd really like to spend some time together just you and I ok?" My sister beamed as she moved forward hugging Felicity tightly. "I'm really glad he met you, I'll call tomorrow." Detaching from Felicity she moved to me hugging me as well as she also whispered in my ear. "She's better for you than Laurel ever was, don't screw this up Ollie." Smiling I placed a kiss to her head replying in kind. "I won't Speedy I won't." I realized as we left the house that I'd just made the first promise that I'd have no trouble keeping.
