Liar

Chapter 24

My body was buzzed, nothing but ecstasy in my veins as he tied me up and kissed my nipples, a lingering and gentle suckle behind them. It felt heavenly almost... He sucked the skin around my neck and nibbled on my ears, pulling at them gently.

The sun shone sharply through the window even though it was still winter and probably time for him to work and for me to study. I was cuffed to the bed so I couldn't do so much except be teased until I came. I wanted him to fuck me at least once but he wouldn't. It felt almost like torture, a throb that I knew wouldn't go away if he didn't help me. I begged but my voice wasn't there and he chuckled and kissed me more. I was certain he could feel me-

Everything was freezing cold. My eyes so suddenly opened. I could feel Keith's warm arms, holding me in his arms and his leg over mine to help me with my lack of body warmth. I calmed myself but my quick breaths woke him up faster than anything could. His eyes looked at me first than quickly around the room as he sat up. His arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer. " I would never do that to you. Ever." I looked at him, shocked. He... Knew? " How did you....?"

" Because I saw it."

He was a little bit detached and I knew he was thinking of something but debating it to himself. He was thinking things through before anything else, which was just how he was. If he wanted to talk, I would wait until he was comfortable enough to come to me instead of pressing him. He didn't react well under pressure. He didn't ever do anything drastic, he just preferred to get things out in his own time.

I ladled out his soup and sliced the fresh bread I made ( which took 2 tries to perfect (T^T)) for him. He ate at weird hours. His breakfast was at lunch, his lunch was about an hour or two from dinner and his dinner was almost around his bed time, so I ended up eating without him most times.

Knocking gently at his office door, I waited patiently for his response. He opened the door and worry was written into the crevices of his face. I kissed his lips and slipped my hand through his own, leading him down into the kitchen. Seeing his smile breakthrough was almost heartwarming. I wasn't too bad at cooking or baking and I even picked up some better skills from watching helpful videos.

" You made bread?" He chuckled, surprised. I nodded. Waiting for him was a little taxing because I was hungry but I wanted to know what was up.

" So when are we gonna start learning magic?" His eyes moved in my direction but he didn't turn to me " Why did I know you were going to ask that?" He asked himself, knowingly. " If I'm being honest, I'm not sure when. I'm not even sure if its my thing anymore."  Confusion filled me

" Yes it is. And it always will be. You spent so long hiding it from me to not like it after you tell me. How is that fair, babe?" He placed his hand over mine and sighed.

" I met my dad, a little while ago." I looked back. I almost felt like I misheard, because he didn't know who his parents were. He had an adopted mother but I didn't know much about her either. " What did he say?"

He was almost never sad in front of me, but he smiled and I knew behind it, he was ready to cry.
" He tried to make me understand that he couldn't be the father I would've wanted, no matter how much he tried. And I called my mom. She wants to see me tonight." His parents... I was happy but also disappointed. They aren't human and expecting the same things from them that you would humans would be asinine. But the fact that they took this long to even see him was inconsiderate.

" My mom wants to meet us tomorrow, so that makes the two of us. " He said nothing and I didn't take offense. His parents stayed away to protect him. Mine stayed in my life at the expense of my mental health.

I said nothing. I felt him lean in and plant a warm kiss on my temple. " I don't think it would be safe for me to come. I don't know what I'd do. " We both had mommy and daddy issues and we didn't interfere with the progress we've made towards ourselves.

Wiping the broth from around his lips, I sighed dreamily " Be honest, do you think your parents would like me?"

" A resounding no because you're human. Your folks?"

I placed thr napkin on the table
" If they cared, they might not. Do you like me?"

He grinned, playing along " Of course I like you. And what about you?"

" I like you very much. Do you think we should care what they think?" We shook our heads simultaneously and burst into fits of laughter, holding each other. Him holding me was just so nice. It was warm and it was loving.

I leaned into the palm of my hand, towards him " I guess I'll meet yours tonight and you'll meet mine tomorrow afternoon." He agreed, nodding. Our parents were the shittiest for their own reasons but... I didn't want to be like them and I was certain he thought that too.

" Do you think I'd be a good father?" The question almost disrupted my thought process. I looked into his eyes, wondering if he was serious or not.

I turned my head to the side and hugged him tightly and lovingly.
" Of course you'd be a good father. I'd be honored if you were the father of my children."

He chuckled, almost letting out a relieved sigh " And I'd be very happy if you were the loving mother of my kids. What do you want?" I thought for a moment.

" I don't care. Girl or boy or if they feel otherwise one day. As long as they're yours." He agreed.

He rubbed my arm and left a warm kiss on my forehead.
" Marriage?" He rolled his eyes at me, as if what I asked was silly.
" Is that even a question?" I chuckled and kissed him back.

I let him hold me and intook a deep breath " You would marry me, Keith?" I asked, hushed. He nodded. Marriage was serious. I was serious about him. And he was serious about me. " I don't want a wedding, just so you know."

He stifled a laugh and nodded.
" I'm serious, I can just go for some cake and kisses and-" his forefinger gently pressed against my lips. There was quietness for a while as he finished his food. I couldn't help but touch his arm.

" You can start learning magic tonight." I internally screamed and was quiet, just as he asked.
