Lilly bit his lower lip, the small hint of blood lapped up with her tongue, and shuddered. "So fucking perfect." At this angle, she felt as if he was splitting her in half. She felt as if he were drilling into her and she would never be right again, but she knew she would. "More. Harder." She growled out her demand in a low and guttural voice.
He growled again, this time deeper in his chest, the sound rolling through her. The violet of his eyes started to overtake the white in an odd way, growing, darkening. Pushing up on his arms, he tilted his hips and slammed into her, giving her just what she wanted, hitting her so deep she could feel the pressure at the opening of her womb.
Lilly's thin thread of control snapped. She opened herself to Gav and allowed him to do with her as he wanted, needed. She shifted slightly and then sobbed out in pleasure. "There." He was hitting her just right, the rocking of his hips going deeper and deeper until she could practically feel him in her womb. "Yes!" she screamed, darkness clouding her vision with the intensity of her pleasure. Her nails dug deeply into his back, drawing blood but not even noticing.
He shouted out with her, his back arching as he drove inside and spilled his seed. His whole body quaked from the release before drooping over her. Her legs were released from the awkward position and he braced some of his weight on his arms. Fighting for air, they both shivered when she tightened her inner muscles and he let out another shot of semen.
Lilly couldn't speak. Hell, she wasn't certain she was breathing until she finally gasped and then grinned. "Amazing," she whispered very, very softly. And it had been. Sharing this with him had been primal, it had been necessary. It had been perfect.
"I think I pulled something," he said on a small whimper. "And damn if I don't want to do that again." He chuckled. A small wince as he withdrew and rolled to his back, pulling her with him as he went. "Later, definitely later."
She laughed at that and moved with him. "Totally," she whispered. "Because that was so very, very good." She moved so that she could curl into him, pulling the blanket up and around her so that she didn't get too cold too fast.
His agreement was a deep rumble in his chest as he grinned a little. Then he ruined the effect by yawning widely, and shook his head. "Crap," he muttered. "Sorry, Lil, but I'm absolutely exhausted. Let me catch a couple of hours and then I'll see if I can top that performance."
"Sleep is good." She rubbed her cheek to his chest and smiled. "If you top it, you might just kill me and then Ax will be all pissy with you," she teased him. "But I still say we try." Lilly let out a yawn, exhaustion riding her hard. "Love you," she whispered softly before dropping off and into sleep.
His chuckle followed her into her slumber.

"Here, try this." He held up the fruit to her lips. "Can't remember what the hell it's called, but it comes from the Luhpyne realm and is amazing. Zhubin brings it through by the crate for Lacey all the time and usually can smuggle a few out from under her watchful eye for me."
Lilly took a bite and sighed happily. "Oh that's very good." She licked her lips and nodded. "And he would do anything for her because she's pregnant. That woman is seriously scary if she doesn't get the food she's craving." Lacey had nearly run down one of her mates when she saw him with a plate of some kind of weird meat. "It won't be like that for us if we chose to get pregnant, right? I mean, I won't turn into some weirdo, right?"
Gavriel sort of froze, a piece of cheese dangling from his fingers in front of his open mouth, his eyes wide open. Snapping his mouth shut, he lowered his hand and hummed. "I honestly have no way of answering that in a manner that doesn't get me either kicked in the nuts or never getting sex again so I'm not going to answer. Ever. Ask Artaxias," he advised, and stuffed the cheese into his mouth fast.
That had her giggling. Her Gav seemed to think that saying "ask Ax" was a way to deter her, but it wasn't. It felt more like a challenge. "I think I will. Perhaps I should also ask him to ensure that you are both ready for a child when we do make that choice to try, and make you go through parenting classes?"
"I think Ax is already prepared," he said with a chuckle. "He practically raised me, poor bastard." He snorted out a laugh. "Gods, some of the shit I used to get into. Honestly, I'm truly amazed he hasn't killed me yet. If he can survive me and all the crap I did or trouble I got into, you definitely don't need to send him to classes. I, on the other hand, will likely require twenty-four-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week supervision and instruction for at least a month to prepare. I seem to have an attention issue when a classroom is involved."
Lilly shook her head and grinned. "You do seem to be a bit attention deficit in a great deal of things. But seriously, the question does remain. I won't hurt you, and you damn sure know that I won't withhold sex, so, out with it. If we become pregnant, will I become a raving crazed woman like Lacey?"
"Honestly"-he frowned and then gave a single shoulder shrug-"I don't know. Every woman is different and no two pregnancies are the same. Something you should realize, love. Each pregnancy brings its own changes and challenges to it. We won't know for sure until you are pregnant. But you do need to remember that no matter what occurs during your pregnancy, we will always be here for you. Sometimes under cover and hiding, but here all the same." He chuckled softly.
That had her laughing, but she did nod, finally. "Good point. I know sometimes I see Lacey coming and I will duck under my desk. No lie. I love her like a sister, but seriously, that woman is terrifying in her pregnancy."
"She nearly made Artaxias cry," he said quietly, a little too much glee in his voice. "At least I think that was the emotion going on. Sometimes it's damned hard to know for sure with him. He's way too good at masking his feelings."
"Yes he is, except with me. For the most part, I'm pretty good at reading him and knowing what he wants and needs, most times." However, there were times that she seriously still needed to figure out what the ever-loving hell the man was thinking or doing.
"Really? Fuck, and I've known him longer. That annoys me on some level." He didn't look annoyed though, he was looking at her with a hint of laughter in his eyes. "I'm glad you can read him on whatever level you can. He needs someone that can poke holes in some of those walls he throws up. Not all, mind you. I like having my throat where it belongs. But some most definitely require the look of Swiss cheese."
"Well, of course you wouldn't be able to do it because you aren't sleeping with him. And even though he loves you like a brother or sibling or whatever, I'm the one that he is able to be completely and fully himself with. It's different, and you know it." It was more than sex. It was a connection on an emotional level, as well.
"I know," he said softly, stroking his fingers over her cheek. "I think he sees me as the annoying kid that keeps repeating the same one-word question over and over again just to test his patience." Gavriel blinked and then snorted out a laugh. "Actually, I'm pretty sure I did do that to him for about two weeks straight. Only respite he got was when I passed out from sheer exhaustion. But every morning I'd start up again and keep it going as long as I was close enough to him. Fuck me, the fact I'm still alive is a bloody miracle."
"Holy hell, no kidding." Lilly shook her head and laughed. "And I swear to you that if we have a child and they do that, you are the one that is taking care of them. I mean it, mister man. So you had better hope and pray that, if that day ever comes, the child doesn't ask why on a constant basis."
Laughing, he batted his lashes at her. "Why?" he teased. Rolling away from her as she growled, he popped up to his feet and stretched. "I'm starving. Want to come and get something to eat before I take you again a few more times?"
"Yes, I want food." She moved to the side of the bed and grinned. "Turn around. I want to have a piggyback ride down to the kitchen. I'm all weak-kneed at the moment." Well, not really but it sounded good and anything to get her legs wrapped around him, she was totally there.
Snorting, he rolled his eyes, but he did turn around. As she jumped on her back, he caught her behind the knees to hold her up on his back. "Weak-kneed huh?" he asked as he strode through the hall and down the stairs. "You seemed perfectly fine earlier when you were sashaying around."
