They had it coming

Romeo found it rather cute in the way that Eden went about it, even kissing him a few times when he started to point to his lips. Amelia seemed pretty occupied with handling not only the cake and rabbit, but also deeply invested in the show on the TV. Romeo really liked the sight. It was cute that she was allowed to just be a normal kid too. When Eden asked her if she enjoyed the cake she hummed, turning around to reveal that she had a bit of cake on her chin and cheek. While Eden offered her the rest of their cake, Romeo chuckled and went to get a nice warm wet cloth before returning and helping her clean up before she got the rest of the cake.
"Alright young lady, as soon as the episode is over it's time to brush your teeth and then it's a goodnight story," he spoke softly, moving up to sit next to Eden once more, having placed the wet cloth for her to use. She pouted, but she eventually had to agree. She finished up eating her cake, and the episode soon came to an end. Romeo helped clean up before doing the nightly rituals. Once she was put to bed he went to the office, wanting to prepare the gift for Eden.

The soft knock made Romeo cover up the gift, turning his head and body as Eden entered. Was there really a moment where he didn't look absolutely perfect? He chuckled, nodding as he went to him. The demand for passing made him smile, but instead of a small peck he wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling him in closer, kissing along his jaw before finally caving in to his own need for his lips. Their lips greeting one another in a tender kiss was a perfect prelude to what could happen once Amelia was off sleeping. It was comforting to think they would have a bit of time for just the two of them.
He went, sitting down beside the little lycan whom had already decided on which story she wanted to hear. Of course it was going to be the one about the rabbit going on adventures. Romeo chuckled, leaning back and holding the book so the little lycan could look along. She once in a while pointed to a word that she recognized and as time passed she grew more and more drowsy. It had been an exciting day, and once she was sleeping completely, Romeo just sat with her for a little while. Whispering sweet words to her, hopefully aiding her to happy dreams. When she was in a bit of a deeper sleep he got up, tucking her in properly and turning on the nightlight as well, just in case she needed to get up in the middle of the night. Closing the door, he let it be a little open, if she called for them or something of the like. He felt pretty lucky that Eden didn't have to sleep. That way Romeo could often get his full nights sleep.
He went back to the office, heading to his desk and pulling out the gift that Eden had gotten him. Placing it on the desk he turned to the vampyre with a smile on his lips. "Who wants to go first?"

Romeo felt the vampyre's arms around him, making him sigh before being turned around to face the present. The kisses and lick made him hum softly, leaning into his touch as he looked at thre present, turning the bottle over. It looked really good. Opening the bottle a bit he sampled the scent, smiling as it was quite good without being overpowering. "Are you going to use it on me later?" He asked softly, just enjoying being kissed and held. It felt intimate. A closeness that he could only ever experience with the vampyre he could proudly call his husband. He just enjoyed staying there for a while before he felt it was time for Eden to have his present.
He moved out of his embrace, walking over to move the papers out of the way, handing him another paper. On it was very beautiful designs for rings; family rings. Romeo touched the vampyre's arm gently, "it's just some concepts .. I didn't want to make the choice simply on my own," he explained. There were different kinds; some with only the A insignia, some with a mix of A and P, and some with a mixture of vampyric fangs on top and lycan teeth on the bottom. "I had them commissioned .. it's a special jeweler from Italy who drew these up," he smiled.

Romeo hummed, walking around beside him looking at the way Eden touched the papers carefully. "Of course I did; I wanted it to be perfect and fitting too," he mused, smiling at his husband, touching his hip slightly, just grasping at the fabric a little. The question about the letter made him sigh and shrugged a bit. Well I wasn't sure if you wanted Parish added at some point .. so I just wanted to have all the bases covered," he admitted. It was clearly something he had put a lot of thought and energy into. It wasn't just some scribbles on a paper, as it even stated the materials that the rings would be made of. It also showed different suggestions for the placement of the crystal pieces as well as the garnet ones that would adorn him and Eden's rings only. "I wanted them to signal what we are .. how strong we are as a union .. what we can accomplish," he said, snaking his hand around his husband's waist, pulling him closer, leaning over to kiss his neck, even nibbling a bit at it. "If you want to we can order them for Solstice?" He suggested in a soft murmur against his skin.

Romeo was really happy to hear how Eden liked the designs, and while they still had time to settle for one he did know that maybe they should just remain Altieri. "We can always add another letter later if you want to?" He said, pointing to a design that would allow for that. It would just be about positioning, and making sure it wouldn't look unfinished. The mention of getting one for Amelia made him smile, leaning a head against his shoulder, just looking at the paper. "We're really parents, huh?" He felt his stomach filled with butterflies. "She's really ours," he said, chuckling a bit as he turned his head to look at the man he loved so dearly. "She wanted to hear the rabbit story tonight .. at this rate it won't surprise me if she wants a live rabbit at some point," he chuckled softly, shaking his head no slightly. It was rather cute. "You did spoil us today," he muttered, lifting his hand, touching along his jaw. Nothing special, simply touching him, feeling the closeness. "I'm sorry about the cake, and very happy that you helped with it," his eyes turning a little vulnerable.

Have a pet rabbit? Sure, she could, but perhaps that would be better for when they had a larger livingspace. But he wasn't against the idea at all! Things between them had always been fast paced. They had gotten attached fast, gotten married fast. Romeo only felt like it was a natural progression for them. But it was a bit more manageable seeing as Amelia wasn't a baby by any means. She was rather independent, and maybe that was a good thing to start out with.
Eden's point of view was nice to get, and it was a reassurance of sorts. He also felt like the praise wasn't worthy, but then again, arguing about that they would never come to an agreement. As Eden pointed out that he hadn't gone out to smoke he sighed, closing his eyes. "I'm trying not to," he just said. His fingers were itching for it, but he also hadn't wanted to leave his family to go smoke. It felt selfish when Eden had prepared all of this. "I just don't want to miss anything .. I just feel like I should do without them, you know?" But it was a hard and fine line to walk. But now he was thinking about it more. "Could we go smoke together?" He just caved in.

Eden agreed and it made Romeo feel a little less guilty. Out on the balcony he was shaking a little from the nicotine craving, and as soon as his cigarette was lit he made a deep drag, filling his lungs and soon enough his body started to calm down. He would probably need two just to be settled for the night. The remark made him scoff, but he didn't move away, instead wrapping his arm about his waist and pulling him into his heat. "Good thing I'm warm enough for the both of us," he mused, smiling a little before inhaling once more. It just calmed him down, keeping his body in check and sorta tricking it into thinking that it was in control, when really Romeo was the one in control. Looking out at the view it felt good to just stand there, "I have to admit I like this apartment a lot," he sighed. It was a good home, a place of refuge for the small family. "Though I do miss seeing the stars undisturbed," he admitted. He liked the city life, loved the rush and the fast pace, but he would perhaps always long for that quiet town that they called their own.
"I've heard back from the offer we made on the lot; it went through, so now all we have to wait for is the permit to build and adjust to our liking," he smiled. He was really looking forward to having a family get away. To be close to where their love started. Be close to the memories, even if some were good and some were bad. It was their story after all. "I love having Amelia around .. but I do miss how loud you could be when I rode you just right," he smiled, pinching his hip a little. Romeo of course understood why they had to keep it down, but safe to say when Amelia had a schedule consisting of a school, a tutor and a nanny, they could have more time for each other. "But I don't dislike seeing you battle yourself with wanting to scream my name and whisper it tenderly," a delightful shiver running down his spine as he continued to smoke.

"No we are not," he sighed, snuffing out the bud of his cigarette into the ashtray, looking out at the cityscape rather relaxed now that the nicotine was keeping him calm once more. "But if we had been you also wouldn't have hesitated to show me just how loud you could make me be," he smirked at his husband, touching him along his jaw. He was strong and cold, and Romeo felt himself falling in love with this man over and over again. It was just reassuring him how much this vampyre meant to him. "I'll go prepare for bed," he spoke a little more tenderly this time around. Leaning in he stole a soft kiss, or rather kisses, before he went back inside.
He checked on Amelia, and seeing her snoring slightly he knew she was out like a light. She had really been tuckered out today from all of the excitement. Romeo went to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and fixing his face a little. Then he changed clothes, opting for just his underwear. He did eye a shirt that he could sleep in, but he decided not to. The vampyre had promised to use the massage oil after all. And just to make sure, he went and grabbed his gift from the office, taking another look at the ring design. He liked seeing the A in focus. Maybe Eden was right. Maybe Altieri would be better in the long run, and to spare their eventual kids from any Parish vultures. He went to the bedroom once more rubbing his eyes a little before sitting down on the bed, waiting for his husband to join him.

Romeo smiled as Eden came closer, looking up at him as his face was held so gently. Leaning against his touch, he loved hearing these sweet declarations of love that his husband could give him. He wanted to say something, but he found himself at a loss for words. Frankly there was so much he wanted to say that it all became a jumbled up mess in his mind. How strange for such a clever lycan to just get silent like this. Laying down per the vampyres gesture he soon enough felt him on top of him. His muscles were tense, especially after having fallen asleep on the couch and along with the anxiety his body had experienced. The whisper made him grit his teeth, but as Eden pushed just right he couldn't stop himself from groaning softly.
Being touched by Eden was good, but being massaged by his was heavenly. The way he knew his body, how he could balance both pressure and release was so amazing and Romeo did slip up. He gave in, moaning in soft increments as the vampyre kneaded his muscles and moved his skin. Frankly the touch made his body relax very much. So much that he wondered if he was even still awake, but he was. "Could you do my legs and butt too?" He asked, and if it was a yes, he would get out of his underwear. He just wanted to feel more of his strong hands. Being felt up, kneaded and needed closer. Though the lycan also couldn't deny that being touched like this by the man he loved did things to him. His needs overwhelming him a bit, but he also felt nervous. Being denied last time, he felt vulnerable to instigate anything.

The tease and massaging of his inner thighs just did something to him, and as he was asked to turn around it was quite apparent what that something was. Romeo watched his lover thoroughly go through each muscle group, making sure no knots remained. That the lycan would be fully relaxed. The vampyre won a few more times, making him moan softly, lifting an arm to cover his eyes as it felt almost embarrassing just how strongly he was reacting to just the touch of his husband. Of course he had that power! It wasn't an accident that he loved him and longed for him. But it was a little surprising still. "It feels really good," he panted softly, looking at Eden from under his arm, his eyes soft and needy. His face had gotten a little red as well, but it wasn't strange as the vampyre's cold touch always made Romeo's body compensate by producing more heat. Clearly his functions didn't want his mate to be cold - as silly as that could sound.
"Hah .. ah .. cazzo .. right there," he whined, pressing his head back against the pillow as Eden found an especially sore spot on his thigh. He just whimpered and groaned at the vampyre worked at it, closing his eyes and focusing on not squirming. Over the time they had been together he had gotten better at allowing himself to close his eyes when they were intimate in any ways they could be. It wasn't perfect, of course, but he was doing it, and frankly it was helping him quite a bit right now. The sore spot eventually got kneaded out of his body, leaving it a little tired and worn down, but otherwise better off than before.

It had truly felt amazing, and the praise just made him blush a bit more. The vampyre kisses felt so cold against his warm skin, giving him shivers that ran down his spine. Eden the opted to pull him in, and frankly that might've been for the better as he felt rather tired at this point. "I love you," he muttered softly, wrapping his arms around his love. He didn’t even care how he looked as he soon enough fell asleep in his husband's arms. Sleeping rather heavily, he just snuggled up to him, which always gave him the best rest.
He woke up a bit before the alarm, stretching his body and finding it nice and relaxed. All of his muscles a little sore from the massage, but it also felt a little lighter than yesterday. If Eden was still in the bed with him, he would turn over, wrapping his arms around him, kissing his chest and neck, touching his torso, hips and the parts of his legs that he could reach. "Good morning," his voice raspy from a good night's sleep. Yeah, he had really gotten to rest dully. "How was your night?" He liked laying there in the morning, just hearing how Eden had passed his time.

The mutter made him hum, though he didn't feel the need to. Instead he moved closer, snuggling up to him a little, touching him up and down his side. Romeo was thankful that Eden could handle the nightly dealings with Amelia, though there was times when only Romeo could soothe her needs to be held. Why that was, he wasn't sure, but he supposed it was a lycan thing. His eyes softened a bit as Eden went on to explain the fact that he had actually stayed in bed for the most of it. It felt nice. He knew how the vampyre could struggle with doing nothing, but regardless it was sweet of him to stay close by.
The slight tease made him sigh, moving his hand down to caress his lover's inner thigh in small gentle circles. "Did you fantasize about me while I slept, Mr. Altieri?" His words tender as he leaned in to kiss him if the answer was positive. "Maybe we should turn the fantasies into a reality, hm?" He muttered against his lips, pressing himself a little closer to the cild body. He wanted to warm him up, let him feel what heat truly was. "How about .." Moving his kisses down the vampyre's chest, dowen over his abdomen and lean body before he reached his destination. Looking up at him he chuckled softly, "I mean, I can't wake you up with a blow job .. but we got some time to kill before we have to get up?" He suggested with a sweet smile. He wanted to care for his needs, and suggesting something that was a bit safe to explore.
