Arsen stood out on the deck, listening. When he thought he heard something, he leapted over the deck rail and into the forest.
~~~~
Shadow smiled and nodded. He managed to pull on his pants and carried his shoes and dropped his vest on her shoulders.
"I understand. I love peace like this."

Jaenelle played with the kids on the floor, ready to protect the house if anyone came near it, waiting for Arsen to come home.
~~
Eryn grinned again, slinging an arm around his shoulders with one hand and pulling the vest closed with the other. She knew exactly what Shadow meant and watched him get dressed with interest before getting a wicked idea. While the werewolf may outsmart her a lot of the time, there was one thing she was better than him at and that was running. She was like light when she ran and even Arsen couldn't catch her.
"May it continue for a long time," she replied before ruffling his hair and throwing the vest into his arms. "Race you home!"
Then she jumped into the air and shifted, changing in midair and thundering down the beach back towards the cottage.
~~
The figure in the cloak felt Arsen coming for it and drifted farther into the forest, finding a clearing drenched in moonlight and going to stand on the other side of it, waiting for the First to find it. It reached out with its senses and felt that all of Arsen's family were at home and Eryn, the little shifter bitch that Shadow insisted on keeping around, was coming home without the werewolf nearby.
This was the perfect opportunity to strike.

Arsen continued into the woods, then stopped. He scented the air, then turned, dashing back.
He wasn't stupid. He knew it had turned into a trap. He leapt back over the front railing as he returned. He closed the front door as he walked through and sat on his favorite chair.
~~~~
Shadow laughed and pulled his clothes on before launching after her.
He shifted midstride, loping after her.

The cloaked figure swore silently, knowing that it now had to create an opportunity to strike instead of just waiting for it to fall into its lap. Arsen was smart and it knew that the plan needed to be able to outsmart both Shadow and Arsen....
Maybe...that would work. The hood seemed to bob as if in a nod and then a wind whooshed through the clearing and the being was just... gone.
~~
Jaenelle looked up at Arsen, cocking her head to the side inquisitively as she jounced Melody who was now reaching out for her daddy. The ex-human crossed the floor to stand in front of Arsen before sitting down on his lap and letting Melody tug on her Papa's hair.
"Gently," she reminded the baby out loud while silently she began to question her mate about his sudden reappearance.
What happened?
~~
Eryn growled in delight at the sheer joy of running. When the house came into sight, a new plan to attack Shadow appeared in her mind. The shifter launched herself onto the roof of the shed and then from there onto the roof of the house, crouching in the shadows next to the chimney and rolling her shoulders, lying in wait for the werewolf.

A pest we hjve to watch for, he said, then smiled at Melody, tousling her hair.
"Did we feed these guys?" he smiled at them. He looked up as there was thudding on the roof.
~~~~
Shadow grinned and leapt after her. He stretched out on the roof, sighing.
He turned his face to the moon, a wolf grin on his face.

Jae's gaze shot up quickly as well and then she realized it was just Shadow and Eryn and calmed slightly.
What sort of pest?
Out loud, she shook her head, saying, "No, but I think it's well past feeding time. Are you hungry?"
Lucivar, never shy about anything, screamed, "YES!" While Callie and Josh, much more subdued, merely nodded. Melody giggled happily and waved her chubby fists, reaching for Arsen's long fingers that had caught her fascination this time. Jaenelle smiled at them, reaching out her hands for one of the children and Var came barreling into her.
She laughed and, standing up from Arsen's lap, wandered over to the couch and sat down on it, holding Lucivar in her lap. Then, she picked up her wrist and offered it to her child, watching as he bit down into her vein and started slurping her blood loudly, letting a little dribble down his chin. While younger vamps would take eat some regular food, they also needed a little bit of blood in their diets as well- about once every two weeks kept these kids going for now, but eventually they wouldn't be able to stomach solid foods and would have to go on the all-blood diet like their parents.
This week was feeding week and so Jaenelle and Arsen were taking turns with the kids and letting them bite wrists to get that blood. Sometimes Eryn volunteered herself or Shadow did, but the parents liked to do it themselves. Jae often had to leave the room when one of the kids drew Arsen's blood, though, because whenever his blood hit the air she felt her eyes go red with hunger and a flash of jealousy squirmed through her at the thought of someone else taking her mate's blood, even if it was one of their children. She always felt like a failure after times like this, even though she'd been assured by several other parents that it was perfectly normal.
Her eyes returned to Var as she gently disengaged her wrist from her son's mouth and let him lick the rest of the blood off the skin and heal up her wrist.
~~
Eryn growled softly as she padded over to where Shadow was sitting, lying down next to the wolf and stretching luxuriously.
You always know whenever I'm going to try and pounce, she complained to the werewolf. How come you know and how am I supposed to get around that?

Not sure he said, detangling Melody's fingers gently. He smiled and picked his finger and slipped it in her mouth.
The baby didn't need much and he soon took his hand back, wiping it on his pants.
He nuzzled Melody and set her down.
"I'm hungry too," he whined, grinning.
~~~~
The werewolf shifted back, letting the moon bath his skin. He had learned to shift and keep his clothes.
"Thats why I've been training you. Besides, I can sense you," he reminded.

Jaenelle glanced over at him, grinning, as Josh and Callie climbed into her lap at the same time, letting each of them grab one of their wrists. She loved Arsen, especially wnhen he was in one of his lighthearted moods.
"Well you're just going to have to," here she paused for a minute to close her eyes as their children's fangs slid into her wrists, "wait a little while then." Jae's eyes flickered open and flashed red as her fangs started digging into her bottom lip a bit uncomfortably. "Because I'm very hungry too."
Her eyes looked into his and another meaning flashed through them before she shifted her focus to Callie and Josh who were very politely sucking their mother's blood and not particularly paying attention to their parents.
"EWWWW! Papa, why are you flirting with Mama?" Var asked, scrambling over to climb into his father's recently vacated lap and nuzzling his little face into his dad's neck.
~~
Eryn growled discontentedly at the ease which Shadow shifted which. Once she had begun practicing shifting midstride, her clothes had begun to have the tendency of tearing. At a standstill, she could shift and keep her clothes, but changing while running was a bit more difficult and required more concentration and she just hadn't quite managed the knack of holding onto her clothes quite yet.
I want to do that, the shifter sighed thoughtfully, curling up at his side and pushing her head under his hand for a scratch.

Arsen grinned at Jaenelle before laughing at his son.
"Because I love her, remember?" he pulled Lucivar tight, nuzzling him. When his son started squirming, kissing at his face until the little boy dislodged himself, grumbling and running his hands over his face.
"Should I get Shadow too... 'watch' them?" Arsen laughed. (The Return of the Puns!)
~~~~
Shadow rand his hands over the little shifter, content.
"You'll get there," he smiled, "Thats why we train, isn't it?"
He leaned down and kissed the top of her head, scratching her ears.

(PUNS! So much fun xD)
Jaenelle grinned as Callie pulled away from her wrist first, licking the puncture wounds closed before leaning backwards into her mom's hug. Her twin kept drinking and Jaenelle laughed, gently pulling on Josh's head to let him know that it was time to let go. The little boy whined before finally disengaging himself from Jae's wrist and licking the bleeding wounds closed.
"I'm sure that Shadow will be able to keep an eye on the kids, but maybe we should push Eryn to help out as well," the ex-human suggested, shaking her head at her mate's silliness; he always loved to tease Shadow. "They're right upstairs, why not go ask."
~~
Yeah. Just wish I could get it right more often.
Eryn purred in contentment, pushing her head into Shadow's palm some more. She loved moments of relaxation like this, especially when she was with the werewolf. The big panther turned her head and licked Shadow's hand with her scratchy tongue.

Arsen nodded and got up, stumbling when Melody latched onto his leg.
"She has such a grip," he smiled at the little girl who gurgled happily.
~~~~
"You'll get it," he smiled at her, "Don't worry, little one."
The werewolf stretched and sighed, "Think we have to baby sit for them again?"

Jaenelle smiled softly, hugging Callie and Josh to her tightly before they squirmed out of her grip. Then she stood up and walked over to Arsen, touching his side as she knelt down to pick up the baby, leaning over and kissing the First on the cheek gently.
"Like her Papa. Not wanting to let go of what she really wants."
~~
Eryn stretched as well, standing up and shifting back into her human form as she did so.
"Probably. We usually end up babysitting them every other day or so. It seems like Jaenelle and Arsen never get tired of each other," the shifter muttered to herself, getting ready to head inside by going over to Shadow and casually removing his vest before pulling it on over herself."

Arsen smiled at Jaenelle.
"Thats true," he said, heading for the back door, "you make me let you go though."
~~~~
Shadow smiled and stood.
"They don't. But, its good to see him have a family he can stay with," the werewolf said before leaping from the roof and smiling up to Eryn.

Jaenelle laughed out loud this time, shaking her head as she bounced Melody up and down. Sometimes she missed being human because she couldn't, for example, blush at Arsen's sexual innuendo.
"Silly, if I didn't, we'd never leave the bedroom."
~~
Eryn nodded before jumping off the roof at Shadow, wanting him to catch her like usual and swing her around in a big circle like he did when she was little.

"I wouldn't mind," he grinned, "And you know it."
Arsen loved how open the could be agahn. During the rebellion, they were stressed and tired, but now...
~~~~
Shadow caught her easily, nuzzling her neck.
"You're still just a kitten, aren't you, Eryn?"

Jaenelle gaped at him before glancing at her impressionable children who were now looking between their parents like they were seeing them for the first time. Var's face was the most disgusted and Callie looked as if a fairy tale were coming true in front of her eyes. Jae nearly started running away at the thought of trying to explain to her kids what parents did in the bedroom.
"Now look what you did," she whined, still laughing though; she loved letting her love for Arsen show every time she looked at him instead of hiding in tents or having quickies in the forest.
~~
Eryn shook her head slowly, running her hands through Shadow's hair as his face nuzzled into her neck. Her head tilted slightly to the side as she breathed in deeply and Shadow's scent rushed into her nose.
"I'm getting a little old to be called a kitten anymore, Shadow," she murmured softly.

Arsen laughed darkly, thouroughly amused as he went to find Shadow.
He grinned and gave a wolf-whistle when he found the pair.
~~~~
"... I've noticed," Shadow said, muffled against her neck. It was then he started kissing her soft skin to her jaw line. He had just made it to her lips when--
A whistle cut through the air, followed by Arsen's laugh when the wolf nearly dropped his cat.

Jaenelle just shook her head, turning around to look at her kids nervously as they crowded up to her.
"What did Papa mean, Mama?" Callie asked, tugging on the hem of Jae's tunic insistently.
Jae nearly had a heart attack. How was she supposed to explain? Then she heard Arsen's wolf whistle and it gave her an easy way out.
"Why don't you go see what Shadow and Eryn are up to? It sounds like it impressed Papa," the harried mother inserted quickly as the kids instantly turned and started rushing out the door to see what was going on between the cat and the wolf.
~~
Eryn sighed in pleasure as she felt Shadow's lips trailing up her neck to meet hers. It felt so good and she had been wanting this for so long, ever since she'd been old enough to recognize that her love for her father figure wasn't purely platonic. The shifter dipped her head down to kiss Shadow, wanting to feel how his lips felt in real life, but then-
Arsen appeared, laughing, and ruined the moment. Shadow nearly dropped her in his haste to look at his friend and the panther huffed indignantly, grabbing the werewolf's shoulders to keep her upright.
"Arsen," she growled dangerously.

"Cockblocked!" Arsen laughed before he was slammed into the ground by an axe-kick from the werewolf.
"How do I put up with that?" he groaned, holding Eryn still. When the kids came out, he smiled and carried the shifter in as the children poked their father.
"Your husband is taking a nap on the deck," Shadow said as he walked Eryn up to her room and set her infront of her door.
"Get dressed," he said, kissimg her cheek. Then grinned teasingly, "Unless... you still need help?"

"Daddy, why're you lying on the ground?" Callie asked curiously, nervously reaching out and touching Arsen's face. "Daddy?"
"PAPA!!! WAKE UP! WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?" Lucivar yelled right next to the First's ear, tugging on some of his father's hair in the process as he continued to poke Arsen's face curiously.
Josh stood behind Callie and Var warily, pushing at his father's leg with his foot, but not really daring to come any closer to the incapacitated vampire.
~~
Jaenelle looked after Shadow and Eryn incredulously before rushing out onto the deck and laughing at the picture presented to her. Her all mighty husband had been completely laid up by the werewolf and now the rambunctious children were getting a kick out of talking to their knocked out father. The vampiress couldn't help it, she collapsed in a fit of giggles and Melody looked at her Mama curiously, not understanding the true hilarity of the situation.
~~
Eryn looked up at Shadow shyly before grinning in return, knowing exactly how to turn the tables on the werewolf. She gently grabbed his big hands, pulling them down to the buttons on his vest which she was wearing. The panther carefully stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around Shadow's neck as she nuzzled her face into his neck.
"I think I might still be little enough to need some help with that," Eryn whispered softly into his ear, gently biting it with razor sharp fangs.

Slowly, Arsen pushed himself up and gave a thumbs up.
"So worth it."
The First rocked to sit up, pressing a palm to his forhead. There was a dent in the wood where he landed.
He gave Jaenelle a sheepish grin, flashing her the bruise under his hand.
~~~~
"Are you?" he asked, nipping at her neck, his hands unbottoning the vest.
"Are you going to stay my little kitten, Eryn?"
(Arsen, you are such an idiot xD)

Post by callingxforxblood on Jul 8, 2010 2:21:29 GMT -5
Jaenelle looked at Arsen's sheepish expression and started laughing again, unable to control the nearly hysterical giggles that leaked through her lips. The ex-human slid to her knees in conniptions of laughter as the kids scrambled all over their father. Her green eyes instantly assessed the damage done to the deck and to her husband's head before her laughing continued.
"You deserved that one, darling, but if we don't stop them from finally making use of that bed in Eryn's room, we're not going to have babysitters," here the vampiress glanced down at their children meaningfully, "for a very long time. Care for a couple more bruises so that we can get some alone time before those two shack up?"
Her green eyes widened innocently as she looked at her mate.
~~
Eryn smiled, running her hands over Shadow's bare chest admiringly and lapping at his nipples with her rough tongue. Her body instinctively leaned into his questing hands carefully and she began purring- hard.
"I'll be your kitten forever, Shadow. If you let me," she murmured softly, slowly sliding her hands down to the buckle on the werewolf's trousers and beginning to click it open.
(But that's why we love him xP)

Arsen paused, looking up at the house, then smiled.
"... Let them have tonight," he said and lifted Melody, cringing when she poked the bruise, "We'll take tomorrow.
"How about we go swimming?"
The older children squealed and vaulted off the deck and towards the beach and Melody gurgled.
Arsen smiled and took Jaenelle's hand, leading her away, "Ill fix the deck tomorrow."
~~~~
The werewolf gave a low moan and reached up to pull his blindfold off and tied it around Eryn's neck as a choker.
"... I think... you'll be a cat tonight," he said, pulling her head up to kiss her deeply, urging her fully into the room and kicking the door shut.

Jaenelle grinned, glancing back towards the house, before leaning her head on Arsen's shoulder and sighing in contentment. Everything seemed so very right at this moment.
"You better or I'll get you," she murmured happily, smiling as she watched the other children stomp excitedly through the water.
How fragile this happiness was and how completely it was about to be shattered.
~~
Eryn touched Shadow's blindfold fondly before a purr rippled through her body and she let herself be sucked into the kiss and her bedroom, nipping and soothing in equal measures as she tugged the werewolf towards the bed standing in the middle of the room. Her golden eyes burned with desire and she smiled excitedly; the shifter had been waiting for this moment for what seemed like ever.
"Then you better be ready to take everything a full grown cat can give," she murmured, finally unclicking the werewolf's belt completely and letting the leather strap fall to the ground.
~~
The hooded figure sighed in the darkness outside of the house. Stupid Immortals always messing up its plans, but tomorrow, yes, tomorrow morning the new plan would be set in motion and everything they held dear would be washed away.

Arsen laughed, "I don't want to incurr your wrath, Jae, you know that."
He set Melody down, watching as she ran for her siblings.
"We'll just have to get up before them."
~~~~~
"But can you handle a full grown werewolf?" he challenged. With any kind of shifter, they always tried to dominate thier partner in the bedroom. It would be interesting to see who would roll over the next morning when Arsen saw them.
(Feel free too skip xD)

(Alrighty, we can skip a couple hours if you'd like ) Jaenelle laughed at that and grabbed Arsen around the neck, kissing him soundly before heading off for the water. A few hours later, she emerged from the ocean, soaking wet and smiling happily. The sky was beginning to lighten in the east and all the children knew what that meant. There was a lot of whining and complaining coming from the children as she began to pick up discarded clothing and started herding the kids back towards the house. "You think that Shadow and Eryn are maybe taking a break right now? Or maybe they can take a break until we put the kids down?" she asked Arsen uncertainly. ~~ Eryn pulled herself up onto her elbow, looking down at the werewolf and grinning a cat grin. "Looks like I won the first round, old man," she teased gently, leaning down to kiss Shadow deeply as one of her hands lazily mussed his hair and the other reached down to stroke him. "You ready for the next round?"

"Should I go check?" Arsen asked, rubbing his forhead where his bruise was. Shadow was rough, but Eryn had claws. He didn't want her to end up castrating him.
However, if it was for his children...
~~~~
"Ha, I went easy on you," Shadow grinned wolfishly, then moaned under her touch.
"Jaenelle and company are returning. Better not. I'll never hear the end of it if we don't let the kids sleep."
He reached up to kiss her, grabbing her hair at the back of her head roughly, but lovingly, not hurting her.
"We aren't done yet, kid," he told her seriously, "And you have training later."
He released her and laid back, grinning knowingly, "So, how accuate was that book?"

"Mmmm, I'd appreciate it, but I'll ask Eryn myself," Jaenelle murmured, catching the wary look that crossed Arsen's face and practically reading his mind. "I'm sure that Eryn would refrain from using her claws on you," she teased, poking Arsen in the side. "I still need you to be able to perform after all."
Then the female reached out to the shifter girl with her mind, asking if it would be okay if she and Arsen came back into the house with the kids in tow. Are ya'll done for now? she asked curiously.
~~
The shifter girl moaned into the kiss, nudging up against Shadow for more, but, when she heard the question, Eryn immediately turned an intense shade of red before glancing down at Shadow's chest with studious interest.
"Um, well....it wasn't, uh, lying about certain, um, assets," she mumbled incoherently, burying her burning face into Shadow's neck to try and hid her apparent embarrassment.
Then she felt Jaenelle's mind brush hers and she nearly choked on a different kind of embarrassment. She quickly reached back to Jae, reassuring the older female. We're done.... then she looked down at Shadow and felt her desire rising again, finally conceding, for now.
~~
Still aways down the beach, Jae giggled.
