A/N: There are two bits of sexual content in this chapter! As usual there is a line where it starts and where it ends.

Chapter Eleven: The Second Dose

June was passing along rather quickly. For Frances, it was filled with new lessons such as anatomy and astronomy as well as old lessons, working on her oils and potions, continuing her work for the company and lands, writing to her siblings, shopping for them and her friends, as well as sparing with Sebastian, and making lots of use of her stage, singing the songs that were in her soul, sometimes just for herself or for her friends or more so for Sebastian. More often than not, it would be just her and Sebastian serenading each other and even dancing once they moved the chairs out of the way. As it was the season and she was a new noble, she and Ciel received quite a few ball invitations. Ciel was quite displeased about them, however, bit his tongue and went to a few with her.

Today, Sebastian had once again managed to seduce her right before lunch. He once again allowed her to sleep, fed her his blood at the appropriate time, then woke her up to a hearty lunch. She noticed it was the same as the first time. She had less paperwork on that day and had no doubt she would have less paperwork the following day. It was after dinner, approaching eight in the evening, Frances was finishing up her oils and potions, humming hers and Sebastian's song, 'The Dark Crow Smiles', her own haunting different dynamic song, 'Music of the Night'*, 'Past the Point of no Return', and 'The Last Man in my Life'. These six songs she kept repeatedly humming all day after Malphas ravished her earlier today.

Once she finished cleaning up, she placed her apron upon her hook. She made her way out of her Office, humming 'Music of the Night', towards her music room. She was at the door when she felt his presence behind her. His arms wrapped around her waist, her fingers found his and entwined them with his own. He pulled her flush against him. She sighed, leaning into his embrace. Sebastian leaned his face into her hair, inhaling deeply.

*Precious.* He sent her.

She let out another sigh. She tilted her head as far sideways as she could, lifting her lips towards him. He smirked down at her.

"As you wish, my precious little mate."

He leaned down and kissed her long and deep, his tongue entered her mouth. She moaned as her hands clutched his tighter. He pulled away with her gasping. His eyes closed as he warbled in pleasure, relishing her gasp. He trailed kisses upon her face. He kissed her eyelids, her forehead, her cheek, her nose, the corner of her lips. She shook in pleasure as he kissed the other corner of her lips.

"Malphas." She sighed, leaning further into him.

"Talk to me, my precious mate." He told her, kissing down her neck.

She moaned softly, leaning her neck even further.

"I want… need… you. Please." She made a come-hither gasp.

He chuckled darkly. His mouth went to her ear.

"As you desire, my mate." He murmured, licking her ear.

He lifted her into his arms. In the next second, they were in her room. She was placed delicately upon the bed, his darkness danced throughout the room. She smiled as she watched the feathered shadows fill the room. She turned her gaze to the demon as he transformed, feathers also falling from his form. Her smiled widened. She stood up and reached out to them. They fell against her fingers and hands, slicing her skin, but she didn't even wince. His feathers spread throughout the room as his clawed hands came out of the darkness, his right hand running up her left arm as his left clutched her right hand. He pulled her left arm around his waist. He slid his arm down her arm to her waist. Her eyes closed as her breathing became heavy. His head lowered to her ear.

"Sing for me, my songstress." He commanded.

His tongue darted out, licking the curl of her ear. She shivered, stepping closer to him.

"Yes, Malphas." She sighed, reopening her eyes.

Frances: You have come here~~

He led her through their dance. His voice joined hers.

Frances/Malphas: in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish which 'til now has been silent~~~, silent~~~~. I have brought you~~ that our passions may fuse and merge~~ (He gently thrusted into her private anatomy causing her to whimper.), in your mind you've already succumbed to me (He whispered into her ear, his tongue licking her again.), dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me, now you are here with me. No second thoughts, you've decided~~~, decided~~~~ (His clawed hand around her waist reached up and slid down her dress, ripping it. She arched into his embrace with a soft gasp.). Past~~~ (He pushed the material off her shoulders.) the point of no~~ return~~, no backward glances~ (He spun her, her clothes falling to the floor, undergarments included.), our games of make-believe~~~ are at an end~~~~~~. Past~~~ all thought of "if" or "when", no use resisting, abandon thought~~ and let~ the dream descend~~~~~ (He dipped her effortlessly. He brought her up and spun her once then pulled her back to his front. She gasped.). What raging fire~ shall flood the soul~~~ (His left hand scraped down her body, leaving red trails. She gasped again as her head tilted against his chest.)?

"Malphas." She gasped.

"Keep singing, precious mate." He ordered.

She obeyed.

Frances/Malphas: What rich desire~~ unlocks its door~~? What sweet seduction lies~~~ (He rocked his hips into her causing her to gasp loudly. He spun her out. His hands sliding down her right hand, pulling her to a stop.) before~~~~~ us~~? (He walked her across her room.) Past~~~~ the point of no return, the final threshold~~ what warm, unspoken secrets~ will we learn~~~~? (He spun her once more, bringing their hands into the proper position, once again holding her waist and the other holding her hand.) Beyond~~ the~~ point~~ of no~~~~~ re~~~~turn~~.

Frances swallowed nosily as her breath was heavy. She took in one more gulp of air before she started to sing again. This time without Malphas. Her brown eyes opened, alit with desire, longing, and love.

Frances: You~~ have~~ brought~~ me~~~ (Her right hand trailed up his torso to his chest where his heart beat lightly.) to that moment where words run dry~~, to that moment (She spun herself out of his embrace, though her left hand remained holding his hand.) where speech disappears into silence~~~~ (She looked over her shoulder at him. She winked. The demon growled. His fuchsia eyes danced with hunger, lust, and love.), silence~~~~. (She spun into him, facing him, pressed up close to him. His hand trailed down her back.) I~~ have~~ come~~ here~~~, hardly knowing the reason why. (Her hands reached up as if to cup his face. He leaned his head lower so she may touch him, however her hands went to her own head. Malphas growled. Frances smirked, her eyes closing briefly.) In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies intwining (She opened her eyes as she placed her hands on his chest. One hand slid down to his private antimony. His eyes widened as a gasp escaped him.) defenseless and silent~~~ (Her smirk grew as her hand began to move against it. In response, the demon's eyes closed as moans and growls escaped him. She leaned closer to him. Her breath hitting his neck.) Now, I am here with you, no second thoughts, I've decided~~~, decided~~~~.

She released his private anatomy as she kissed his neck. He growled. He looked down at her, his fuchsia eyes danced heatedly. She began leading him around the room. He followed. His eyes hungrily looking over every inch of her body before returning to the seductive look upon her face.

Frances: Past~~ the point of no~~ return~~~ no (She shook her head.) going back now~~~ our passion play~~ has now~ at last begun~~~~~~~. Past~~ all thought of right or wrong~~~ one final question~~~ (She spun with his arm up. She pressed her body close to his, her chin resting against his chest.) how long~~ should we two wait~~ before we're one~~~-

She gasped as suddenly he slowly filled her, cutting off her song. Her back was against the wall. His hands were on her waist. Her hands were on his shoulders. The tendrils of darkness and his feathers that still floated throughout the room caressed her skin. She was about to throw her head back when one of his clawed hands left her waist to wrap around her hair. He tugged lightly so her head would tilt up as far as she could without being taken off his chest. Her brown eyes fluttered open to meet Malphas' fuchsia heated gaze. He growled. She shivered as she felt it against her chin.

"M-Malphas." She whimpered as he continued pushing his length inside her.

His head lowered to her lips.

"Keep singing, my songstress."

She opened her mouth to obey the command when his mouth connected with hers. She responded, kissing him back. Warmth flood through their chests as Frances wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands running through his hair and feathers. Moans escaped both their lips as he continued to slowly fill her. He pulled away with her gasping for breath. He nuzzled her nose with a warble. Once her breath was mostly under control, she began her song again.

Frances: When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping (She gasped and clutched his wing and hair as his length began to hurt her. He pulled her hair to the side, giving him access to her neck causing her to gasp again. He began his attention to her neck to help her, pausing a moment.) bud turn into bloom? When will the flames~~ at last~~~ consume~~~~~~~ us~~~~~~~~~?

Malphas/Frances: (Malphas sang against her neck with her.) Past~~ (Her eyes closed with a breathless gasp.) the point of no~~~ return~~~ (She relaxed. He continued pushing his length inside her. Her breath shuddered as moans escaped the both of them as they sang.)the final threshold~~~~, the bridge is crossed so stand~~ and watch it~~~ burn~~~~~~~~ we've past~~~ the~~~ point~~~ of~~~ no~~~~~~~~ re~~~~~~turn~~~~.*

The two beings breathed heavily. He was all the way inside her now.

"M-Malphas." She sighed.

"Frances." He murmured, pressing a delicate kiss upon her neck.

His feathers danced across her body along with his tendrils. She could feel his song swirl inside her. She pulled back. The demon allowed her to pull away from him. He looked into her love filled eyes. Her hands cupped his cheeks, her thumbs running over his cheekbones. She began to hum his song. Malphas' eyes flashed. He growled. He pulled to her entrance before slamming in. She gasped, her song cutting off as she gripped his face. His feathered wings wrapped around the demon and touched the sides of his mate. His lips went to her ear as her posture changed from pain to pleasure. Her arms once again going around his neck, playing with the ends of his hair and brushing against his wings.

"Sing my song, Frances. Sing for me." He commanded her.

She continued to hum 'The Dark Crow Smiles'*, singing when it came time to.

"Yesssss!" Malphas hissed, using his demon speed.

As he used his demon speed, her voice grew louder. And as the last note escaped her lips, she gasped loudly as both beings came undone. Little moans escaped her as she tried to get her breathing under control. Malphas nuzzled her neck, giving it a little kiss.

Malphas: I love~~~~~~ you, Frances.

Frances: I love~~~~~~~ you, Malphas.

They sang at the same time.

After a few minutes, Malphas ran his clawed hand up and down her back, lightly scratching her. She shivered as a breathless sigh escaped her. She nuzzled into his neck, her breathing finally under control.

"Malphas." She sighed.

Her right hand trailed to his chest and began to move up and down it in time with his own hand. His warble/purr began to get louder.

Frances: Your~~~ eyes see but my shadow~~~~~

Malphas' eyes snapped to her own. His voice harmonized with hers.

Frances/Malphas: my~~~~ heart~~~ is~~ over~~~flowing~~~~, there's~~ so much you could come~~~~ to know~~~~ you're~~~ content not~~ knowing~~~. Tenderly~~~~, you~~~~ will~~~ see~~~ my~~~~~~~ soul~~~~~~~~~~~~~!*

He nuzzled his nose against her own. His eyes looked into her own.

"Precious mate."

She moved her hand to his cheek.

"My beautiful crow demon." She sighed.

He smirked. He moved her from the wall to her bed. His wings wrapped around her. Her eyes closed as she felt his feathers, her head leaning against his forehead.

"Malphas."

He laid her down, hovering over her. His hands roamed her body as he once again began pounding into her. Her eyes closed. She began to sing the new song that had begun to play in her mind when they began making love to one another, changing a few words.

Frances: I'm a lady~~~ when you kiss me~~~ (Malphas kissed his bite mark that covered the angel's mark over her left breast. She moaned.), I'm a child~~ when you are leaving~~ (She felt the smirk against her breast.), I'm a woman~~ ev'ry time our bodies meet~~ (He thrusted once again, her right hand moving into his hair as he kissed down her breast causing her to moan. Her left hand trailed down to his chest. She sang the next word breathlessly.) complete~~. Long lost feelings~~ (He enveloped her nipple. She moaned louder.) stir inside me~~, used to think nights were for sleeping~~ (She grabbed his head and pulled her off her nipple. He growled as she made him meet her eyes.), being wanted~~ is a thrill I never~~ knew~~~~~~ (Her right hand stroked the feathers of his left eyelid. His mouth opened as he purred/warbled louder.) 'til you~~~~~~ (She purred as she felt his breath on her. With her left hand, she moved his bang out of his eyes. He growled.). Oh~~~~~~~ (Her eyes closed as he continued to thrust in and out of her with her meeting his thrusts.), I'm alive, inside I'm glowing~~~, I'm how I want to be~~~~~~~ (Her eyes opened once again meeting his lust filled, fuchsia eyes.), loving you I can be me~~~~ (She looked at him with such sincerity. The demon growled lustfully.), just me~~~~. It's the first time~~ when you touch me~~, now I long for rainy mornings~, I am certain you're the only man in my life~~.

The instrumental played through their minds.

"Mine!" He growled as the strings from the instrumental continued.

She smiled brightly. Her nose nuzzled his.

"Yours. Yours completely." She agreed.

They shared in another passionate kiss. Frances gasped as the two of them broke the kiss. Malphas growled in pleasure at her gasp. She began to sing again.

Frances: I'm a woman ev'ry time~~ our bodies meet~~~~ complete~~~ (Her hands moved to around his neck. Her hands once again clutching his hair and wings. Her face nuzzling into his cheek. The demon buried his nose into her hair.). Long lost feelings~~~~ stir inside me~~~, used to think nights were for sleeping~~, being wanted~~ is a thrill I never knew~~~~~ 'til you~~~~~~. Oh~~~~~~, I'm alive inside I'm glowing~~~, I'm how I want to be~~~~, loving you I can be me~~~~, just~~ me~~~~~~~. It's the first time~~ when you touch me~~~, now I long~~~ for rainy mornings~~~, tell each other to find all we're looking for~~~ and~~ more~~~~~. Found the rainbow~~ I was after~~~, no more dreams with one face missing~~, I am certain~~ you're the only man in my~~~~~~~~ life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!*

He warbled/purred/growled. His head lowered to his mark and gave it a lick. She gasped, not matching his thrust for a moment. After a few more thrusts, the two of them came undone once again, both of them crying/roaring out their pleasure.

Malphas relaxed first, his head lowering between her breasts. Frances' left hand ran down his neck, down his chest, then wrapped around his waist while the other remained running through his hair and touched the feathers of his wings. They ruffled against her. She smiled. She kissed the top of his head.

"I love you, my Malphas." She breathed out, her eyes closing as darkness engulphed her.

Malphas lifted his head to look into the face of his prone mate's form. He quickly caught her hand that was falling from his hair. He lifted it to his lips and gave it a gentle kiss. He lifted his head as he heard her give a quiet sigh.

"I love you, my Frances."

He lowered her hand, placing it on her stomach. His clawed hands reached out and caressed her flushed cheeks. He couldn't help, but stare at her. She had been tempting him since he ravished her earlier that day. These… intimate songs and dances were meant for him and only for him and he knew it. He nuzzled her nose.

"Precious mate." He murmured.

She leaned into his touch.

"Malphas." She sighed.

He rolled the two of the upon their sides. He curled around her protectively. She snuggled into his chest, her hand moving from her stomach to his chest. Her smile widened as she felt his warble/purr.

An hour had passed. Malphas moved her to her back and reluctantly pulled out of her. He cleaned the two of them up. He dressed her in a black nightgown and slid her undergarments upon her. Once he finished, he slowly changed back and pulled in his darkness. As he made his way to the door, a small whine emitted from his mate. He looked back at her and realized she felt his absence. He had forgotten about that. He smirked.

"Forgive me, precious mate." He said, walking towards her.

He suddenly held a blanket of his feathers in his hands. He placed it over her. She snuggled into the feathers, a small smile upon her lips. He smiled fondly. He leaned down and kissed her lips. Another sigh of content escaped her. He smirked against her lips.

"I'll see you in a few hours, precious Frances." He murmured.

He walked to the door, glanced one last time at her then walked out to complete his remaining chores including readying the Young Master for bed.

Once the clock struck eleven forty-five, Malphas returned to his mate. He found her in the exact position he left her in. He placed his uniform in her closet. He changed into a black set of pajamas. He got into bed beside her. He gathered her into his lap waiting slightly impatiently for midnight. He transformed into his true form.

Finally, the clock did indeed strike midnight. Malphas bit into his wrist, opened Frances' mouth, and allowed his drops of blood to fall into her mouth. She swallowed reflexively.

"That's it, my precious soul mate. Muta corpus, muta sanguinem, perfundat animam tuam tenebrae."

Once she drank all eleven drops, he once again watched and waited. Her body convulsed and contorted. He could see and feel her bones stretching and snapping. He heard her whimper. He held her through it, running a hand through her hair calmly.

"Soon, my darling. It'll be over soon." He murmured.

After the sixty seconds, her body calmed with a sigh from her lips. He kissed the side of her forehead. He laid the two of them down on their sides. He curled around her protectively.

"Mine." He whispered, his fuchsia eyes dancing heatedly.
