[C] Another day at the office

"Suits me just fine."

He'd happily beat a load of heads in if they were bothering Rai.

He returned her kiss, pulling her closer as his arms wrapped around her tightly.

"He is. And he's just a little possessive."

His hand curled tightly in her hair, pulling her head back as he leaned down to bite firmly into her throat, sicking on it to leave a mark that everyone would see.

"Mine."

Her arms wrapped around his neck as she hung off of him with a smile.

"You know, Lycans are all about possession, you'll have to deal with me being protective of you."

She wouldn't restrain herself as much now that they were a couple.

Rai gasped softly as her head was yanked back and her throat sucked on, a deep purr rumbling in her chest as he marked and claimed her.

"Yours." She confirmed with a soft groan.

Her own hands tightened in his hair and pulled his head back slightly, her tongue trailing over his throat before biting him sharply and sucking hard.

She pulled back with a little grin as a deep purple mark appeared on his neck.

"And you're mine."

"I'm sure I'll manage." He wouldn't mind her getting catty over him flirting with someone else.

He smirked as she gasped. He liked that sound. He was going to drag that sound out of her again. Many, many times.

His head fell back obediently when she tugged on his hair.

He groaned softly as her tongue trailed slowly over his skin. he loved that tongue. It could do very wicked things.

"You're lucky I'm not at work for the next week."

He leaned down to kiss her fiercely, hands sliding into the back of her legging to give her ass a firm squeeze.

"No underwear. I like."

"I know, I get you for a whole week, all to myself."

She purred, happy that their trip was still definitely happening as she leaned up, kissing him back eagerly as she gripped onto his hair.

"Underwear really wasn't a priority."

Even if it was grudgingly to begin with she really had wanted to go see Liq and sort everything out.

Luckily it had gone better than she could have hoped.

"When is it ever a priority?" he asked with a little smirk, his hand moving lower, pushing between her thighs to stroke her teasingly.

"Now, I think we have to go tell a certain asshole Lycan that his plans all went well. Don't you?"

It was time they went crawling to Aodh and thanking the asshole for shoving them together.

"Then we can drink a bit, kick a few asses and go home to have some fun before we head out tomorrow. Sound good?"

Raisa purred as his hand slid between her thighs and stroked her, he was such a tease.

She gave a soft whine as she looked up at him, she didn't want to have to tell Aodh and hear him tell them what idiots they were.

"You know he is going to gloat right? Though the drinks and home part do sound appealing."

She replied, leaning up to press one last kiss to his lips before licking the mark on his neck softly.

"I've known him for the past three years." The man rolled his eyes and sighed. "I know he's going to gloat."

The asshole was going to gloat and make them want to punch him in the face numerous times with a brick. But that was part of his charm. He was going to do it and they knew it.

But they were still going to get it over with.

"Come on."

Khaliq disentangled himself from the woman and opening the door for her.

"Try not to stare at my ass too obviously."

She joked as she padded through the door as he opened it for her, they may be dating now but he would always be the same old Liq.

"Commence gloating."

Rai muttered as she propped herself up on the bar stool next to Aodh and Aeker.

The Lycan would be able to see the mark on her neck easily enough and know what it meant.

"No promises."

He slapped her ass firmly as she passed him.

Aodh was playing peekaboo with Darragh when Rai perched next to him. The boy was giggling at how ridiculous his father was, squirming in his seat up on the top of the bar.

The Lycan grinned as he turned his attention to the woman.

"Nice mark you got there. Matches mine." True to his word, and as usual, he had many marks on his neck that Aeker had given him.

Rai had been expecting that, she would have slapped his ass if he had been in front of her.

The woman chuckled softly at the family scene in front of her, the three of them really were adorable.

"And his."

She replied, her head nodding back toward Liq with a small grin, even if Aodh gloated for a life time she was glad things had ended up this way, the two of them were too stubborn to admit they had feels for each other before now and if they had carried on they could have been 'not dating' for years before one of them cracked.

Darragh squirmed, reaching for Rai. The woman had pretty blue hair and he wanted to play with it.

Aodh lifted Darragh up and passed him off to the woman.

"Ah, so he does. Nice big mark. Shows you have a big mouth, blue."

Liq rolled his eyes as he leant against the bar behind Rai, resting his head on top of hers as he reached over to ruffle Darragh's hair.

"Hey there, squirt. How you doing? Five?"

He held up his hand and the boy slapped it in a high five. "Good, Uncle Vroom." The necromancer chuckled at his little nickname.

Raisa took Darragh eagerly, she had always liked children, she had never wanted any of her own but he liked playing with her nephews and nieces.

The woman had spoken to Aodh a fair few times and seen Darragh briefly, mostly when she was asking if they could keep an eye on the pups while she went out.

"You're getting bigger Darragh, I think you're having a growth spurt. I'm Raisa, your Mom has looks after my puppies some nights, remember?"

The woman leaned back against Liq as he rested up against her.

Darragh nodded.

"Aunt Boo." He reached up to tug on her blue hair, running his fingers through it. It was very pretty.

Liq snorted softly. "Aunt Boo," he chuckled softly.

Darragh gave the best nicknames to people. Liq loved that about the kid. He really did.

Aodh himself leaned back against his Vampire. "Dont they look cute?"

Aeker chuckled as he nuzzled up against Aodh, pressing a kiss to the Lycan's cheek.

"They do, just make sure they don't run off with our son."

He replied with a chuckle, people had a habit of falling in love with Darragh, the boy had his father's charm.

Raisa laughed softly as the boy toyed with her hair, looking up at Liq as she rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't you laugh, Uncle Vroom."
She teased before toying with Darragh's hair in return.

"Don't worry. We can get revenge and take their dogs."

Aodh did love the two puppies. They were so lovable.

"And I highly doubt they'll deal with him when he gets cranky." The boy was a total pain when he got cranky.

"Hey, don't dis uncle Vroom. It's cool, isn't it, rugrat?"

"Darragh is just getting his ghetto on, we've been dating a whole five minutes and I already have another man making me his Boo."

Raisa teased with a smile as she gave Darragh a cuddled, smothering him with Aunty kisses.

"Mwah!"

She laughed, pressing a large kiss to the boy's cheek.

"Do you want him flirting with you, auntie boo, or should I escort him out?" Liq asked, narrowing his eyes playfully at the boy.

The boy giggled and squealed, trying to push Rai back as she smothered him with kisses. He didn't want all those kisses.

"Mommy," he cried out, reaching for Aeker.

"Mommy help!"

Aodh chuckled as he watched his poor son suffer.

Aeker couldn't help but laugh at the scene in front of him, only Darragh would try to escape the affections of a woman like that.

"Escort him out Uncle Vroom, he is smothering me already."

She replied with a laugh as she finally stopped kissing the boy as he tried to squirm away.

Instead of giving Darragh to Aeker she passed him up to Liq so he could have a cuddle.

"All right, little man. Let's not harass the woman any more."

He cradled the tiny boy against his chest, bouncing him gently as he pressed a kiss to the crown of the boy's head.

He cuddled the boy. Liq loved Darragh. If he could get away with stealing from Aodh, he definitely would. Liq absolutely loved the boy.

Darragh cuddled closer to Liq, pawing at his shoulder until the Necromancer pulled his braid over his shoulder for the boy. Darragh loved playing with Liq's braid. It was fun.

A moment later, Darragh yanked harshly on the man's hair and Liq hissed. "Oww."

Raisa watched the two of them fondly, it was funny seeing Liq being so gentle and caring with the child, she had never associated Liq with children before, never thought of him as the father type.

"Before you get any ideas, no, we are not having one, and yes, you have to give him back eventually."

She chirped with a soft chuckle before leaning over the bar and ordering herself a drink.

"But don't you think he's adorable?"

Liq held the boy up, nuzzling against his face gently. "Couldn't you imagine one? Little green eyed, black haired pale skinned bundle of energy?"

Liq knew that he wouldn't want a kid, even if he could have one.

"You should feel lucky that I'm incapable."

The man grinned widely. "Fawzi, you should fuck Claudio more. You've gotta provide a kid for us." The woman, curled contentedly in Claudio's lap, raised her finger up to her brother in a less than pleasant action.

"he is adorable and nope, I can't imagine one at all to be honest, can you imagine us trying to raise a child? Poor thing would end up so messed up."

The two of them were hardly the most mature couple out there.

"I do feel lucky for it, especially ever full moon and mating season."

She replied with a smirk, it was a wonderful feeling knowing she didn't have to worry about the pill or putting a condom on him every time they did it, she could only imagine how many boxes they would go through in a week.

Rai chuckled at Fawzi and shook her head, she could agree with that sentiment.

Darragh gave a little yawn and cuddled against Liq's chest.

"Tired, scamp?" Liq asked, bouncing the boy gently as he pushed off the bar and padded around Rai and Aodh.

He handed the boy off to Aeker with a little smile. "Don't think he's woken up properly yet. Still tired." He stroked the boy's hair as he nuzzled against Aeker's chest. "You all right, kiddo?"

Darragh nodded, nuzzling closer to Aeker.

The man returned to Rai's side, leaning against the bar.

"I'm not surprised."
Aeker muttered softly as he took Darragh into his arms and cuddled the boy gently, pressing a kiss to his head.
"He wont sleep through the entire day, I think he is having a hard time adjusting now that we're back in Italy.

Go to sleep sweety, I'll look after you."
The vampire cooed to the boy, rocking him slowly in his lap to coax him back to sleep.

Raisa smile warmly as she watched them.
"Aeker you make such a lovely Mother to him, I really do admire you."

She admitted, causing the vampire to blush softly, he tried his best and being reassured that he was doing the right thing, especially from a woman really was the greatest compliment.

"'Course you should start wearing dresses if you really want to pull off the mother thing," Liq suggested.

Aodh snorted a laugh. "I keep suggesting that. No-go. I have gotten him into women's underwear before, though. I'm getting there, one step at a time."

Aodh and Liq shared a laugh at that.

"Right, I'm going to get a drink. Wont'e be long." He patted Rai's hip and pressed a kiss to the top of her head before pulling away from her and padding down the bar to get to the bartender.

"Brandy and coke? Thanks."

The Necromancer hummed soft as he leaned over the bar, waiting. He felt nails run down his back slowly. "You-"

"Hey, handsome," a tall raven haired woman purred.

"Hi," Liq answered dully. He had hoped it was Rai coming to accost him.
