Lia's Return (Mulligan Clan)

After the Snap

Lia

     Even during one of her spells a part of her was aware.  As sleep lifted Lia knew she'd snapped but thankfully hadn't hurt anyone this time.  There was guilt as she should have seen the warning signs and stepped back.  Now they all knew how broken she was. 

    Openning her eyes Lia was surprised to see light coming through the windows of the loft bedroom.  Took note that someone had cleaned her up and somehow knew Dervil had done that for her.  Deep breath she instructed herself expecting a reaction that didn't come.  Another key she mentally thought knowing Q would have called Dr. Hunt in to help.

   Scanning the room Lia recognized the man in the chair beside her.  Saw how he'd looked standing at the side of the ring as Blake contained her.  So strong.  He's stayed and a part of her had recognized that strength and helped it click.

  "Big guy" she croaked out reaching out to brush her finger tips over his knee to wake him.  Blue eyes openned to look over her.  "You stayed" she whispered letting the tears coming forward.  Knowing she had to let the feeling come.  It was hard but she too often sabotaged herself by wearing shields.

  "Always lass" he murmered as he sat forward to wipe away her tears.  "We wont discuss it again but I need to thank you for watching over us.  For my sister" he added taking her hand to kiss her knuckled.

  "I tried so hard to stay away.  But she was more sister than cousin.  I couldn't sit back and let her be used.  I dont know if I'll ever be able to be a part of the family again.  The price I've paid is too great.  But I don't want to lose you or my parents, Dervil and my brothers.  My worse fear..." she choked not able to say it.  Colin.  Her worse fear was that he was the traitor.  That her own brother had wanted her dead.

  "For now rest.  Liam is straying with you but won't cross lines you don't want crossed.  He's been warned"  Hugo informed her avoiding the possibility of Colin being invovled.  With Ivo on the list he would understand her fear.  "You'll be kept in the loop but you need to take a step back and let us handle this love.  I don't think I can handle watching you shatter again.  I know Finn can't.  I sent him home with Dervil yesterday" he explained using a tone she knew well as her da had using it more than once during her childhood.  Hugo wasn't asking.  He was taking full control of the situation.

  "Okay" Lia answered accepting that she may not be strong enough for this.  Accepting that they would see to it and she could trust them with this. 

    After twenty more minutes of chatting Hugo left and Lia let herself to slip back into sleep.  Next time she woke it was dark outside and it was now Liam in the chair beside her.  God he looked uncomfortable sleeping in that chair she though as she gave his leg a smack.  Like a jack in the box Liam was up and on his feet.

   "What" he muttered looking around until he looked down to see she was awake.

   "Get into bed.  Just stay to your side" she warned then curled back in and let the sleep come again.  Recovery was like this and Lia didn't fight it.  Just before she drifted under she felt the bed dip and smiled. 

Liam

       It had taken another hour before he fell back to sleep.  During that hour he'd watched her sleep, her chest slightly rising and falling with each breath.  When his phone pinged downstairs he knew it was done and allowed himself to sleep. 

     Waking now Liam felt the weight on his chest and couldn't help but smile.  Knowing that in the night she'd entered his zone of the bed and snuggled in.  Question was how would she react if she woke and found herself in this possition.  Desiding it was best not to find out Liam gently extracted himself and headed downstair.

  Putting coffee on first he then moved to the bathroom to take a shower.  It was as he was washing his hair that he felt a cool breeze on his arse.  Seconds before two small hand wrapped around his waist and he felt her boobs press into his back.

   "This isn't a good idea" he offered resting his chin on his chest as his hands came up to cover hers.  She had been tracing his abs and it was making it hard to think responsibly.  Unable to move her hands Lia's lips pressed between his sholder blades as she slightly rubbed her nipples back and forth against him.

   "I woke up and your wamth was gone.  I want to feel that warmth again.  I want to feel again Liam" she murmered against his skin her words seeping though the battle he was fighting against himself.  "Please" she asked softly and broke him. 

  "A word lass.  Pick.  If I cross a boundary you promise to speak it and it stops.  I will not be another shaddow for you to fight" Liam stated turning to hold her face up to his.  So he could see her eyes and know that this is really what she wanted.  If it was he could be what she needed.

   Liam remained silent as he watched her think.  Saw the lust and need as she struggled to find one.  "Donut" she final murmered tilting her head a little as her eyes traveled to his chest.  Her fingers coming up to travel over the tattoo over his heart.  "You wont break me.  I need your help to help put some pieces back together" she confessed and it's what broke through and had him leaning down. 

   Capturing her lips Liam kept the pressure soft as his hands found her small waist and held her steady.  It was Lia who deepend the kiss.  Increased the preasure as her small hands wandered to his back bringing them flesh to flesh, chest to well stomach.  Damn she was short.

   Reaching for the body wash Liam washed ever inch of her.  Useing the contact to start the rise.  More than anything he wasnted her pleasure over his own.  Yes he was rock hard and wanted to sink into her warm little body.  But first came Lia.

Note:
