He says, “Ooh, baby girl, you know we’re gonna be legends. I’m the king and you’re the queen and we will stumble through heaven.”- Halsey, Young Gods
“No way,” Lea’s younger sister, Ari, screeched over the phone. “I’m getting on a plane to New York right now—”
“You’ll do no such thing,” their older sister, Lina, cut in firmly. “You’ll stay in California. Your semester is starting soon.”
“I figured he was an Otherworlder,” Ari continued as if Lina hadn’t spoken, “like, obviously, look at his face, but an incubus, oh my god—”
“It’s really not as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be,” Lea said into the phone, which was currently on the dining room table of Lina’s apartment, with Sam, her best friend since childhood, and Lina—who liked to think of herself as the family’s voice of reason—seated around it.
“It sure sounds like a big deal,” Sam countered. “I didn’t know incubuses had mates that they, like, had to feed from or they’d die.”
“I didn’t, either,” Lea said.
At the same time, Lina interjected with, “It’s incubi, not incubuses.”
Ari groaned. “Don’t be such a know-it-all, Lina. Now is so not the time.”
“Yeah, Lina,” Sam snarked playfully, sticking her tongue out at the older girl.
“Are you guys not freaking out?” Ari demanded shrilly. “How are you guys not freaking out? Lea is the mate of a movie star who is also apparently a fuckin’ sex demon, and he will literally die without her, and oh yeah, let’s not forget, she’s also pregnant with his demon spawn!”
Lea groaned miserably, burying her face in her arms. “Don’t call it demon spawn,” she pleaded.
“Why not?” Ari demanded. “That’s what it is! He’s a demon, you’re carrying his spawn—“
“You’re embarrassing her,” Lina scolded.
“Maybe you should be at least a little embarrassed,” Sam pointed out. “Not about who you’re dating, ‘cause that’s dope and you’ve got bragging rights—“
“I don’t have bragging rights,” Lea muttered. “That would be weird, plus it’d draw attention to us both.”
Sam, however, continued on as if Lea hadn’t spoken at all. “—But ‘cause you’re pregnant at twenty years old, Lea, for fuck’s sake—“
“I didn’t exactly plan it,” Lea snapped. “I figured my birth control would work just fine!”
“Shoulda had him pull out, girl,” Ari chimes in. “Always have the dude pull out.”
“How is it fair that you lost your virginity before I did?” Sam whined. “He must be, like, so good, too—”
“Oooooo, yeah!” Ari exclaimed, clearly excited. “Tell us how he was! Spill, bitch!”
“I do not want to hear this,” Lina said, grimacing in distaste.
“Two against one,” Sam declared without hesitation, raising her eyebrows at Lea expectantly.
Lea fidgeted awkwardly. “He was, uh… good, yeah. Very good.”
“Yeah, no shit,” Ari said dryly. “I could’ve told you that. What else?”
“Like… intense, y’know?”
Sam’s brows furrowed. “What do you mean by intense?”
“He’s, uh…” Lea gulped anxiously. “He’s very grabby. And, like, rough or whatever.”
Lina frowned. “Rough? Does he hurt you?”
“Chill, Lina,” Ari told her flatly. “Good rough or bad rough? Did you like it?”
“I did, yeah,” Lea said quietly, flushing and twisting her hands in her lap.
“Good rough, then,” Ari decided.
Sam stared, perfectly manicured brows furrowed in confusion. “How is there such a thing as rough being good?”
“I’m not explaining sex to you, virgin,” Ari said, and Lea could practically hear her nose in the air.
“Hey—”
“Oh my god, who cares?” Lina groaned. “Lea is pregnant, she’s gonna live forever, don’t you guys wanna talk about that instead of whether or not you’ve had a dick up you?”
“Wait,” Ari cut in, “what’s his dick like?”
“Big, I’m guessing, ‘cause he’s a freakin’ sex demon,” theorized Sam.
“Well, yes,” Lea admitted, examining her hands and trying her best not to picture the barbels along the length of her boyfriend’s shaft.
“I know that voice,” Sam said suspiciously. “What else is there?”
“W— well, um…”
Even Lina looked interested now, leaning forward. “What is it?”
“He, uh… he has, like. Piercings.”
Sam blanched. “He has piercings on his—”
“No way!” Ari screeched for the second time that afternoon. “Timothée Chalamet has a pierced dick?! For real?!”
“Yeah,” Lea squeaked out, blushing to the roots of her hair.
“What kind?” Ari demanded. “Is it a Prince Albert or something else?”
“What the fuck is that—” Sam squawked, aghast.
“I dunno what they’re called,” Lea admitted, squirming in her seat. “He’s got these, like, metal bar… things… in there.”
“More than one?” Ari gasped. It took a lot to shock Ari.
“Uh. Yeah. There’s a few. Like, three.”
“What does that even feel like?” her younger sister wanted to know.
Lea frowned, pursing her lips. “Normal, I guess?”
“You don’t know what normal is,” Ari insisted impatiently. “Can you feel it?”
“Uh… yeah?”
“Okay,” Lina finally said, “I’m gonna need you guys to stop right there before I throw up.”
“It’s not our fault you’re a prude—“ Sam whined, displeased at having her eavesdropping interrupted.
“Some of us actually like dick and wanna hear about this—“ Ari was saying.
“Too bad,” Lina said firmly. “Have your dick discussion in earshot of someone who isn’t me.”
After several beats of silence, Ari decided, “Okay. Lea, your homework is to draw a picture of what it looks like. I want detailed photorealism here.”
“W— what—?!” Lea sputtered out in horrified shock. Sam was nodding with a determined expression on her face while Lina looked like she had smelled something particularly distasteful.
“It’s important,” Ari insisted.
“Uh, no,” Lea said firmly. “Not gonna be doing that. Nope.”
“Oh, come on,” Ari whined.
Just then, a text came in.
Tim
When will you be home again ? I miss you so much and I really really need to be inside you, if you come home I’ll make you cum at least four times before I even fuck you and then…
Sam squealed with delight, grabbing for Lea’s phone. Thankfully, Lea was fairly used to this sort of thing and intercepted the movement, to which her friend pouted.
“What, what happened?” Ari demanded.
“Timothée sent an obscene text to your sister,” Lina declared as if the three of them didn’t have the same parents.
“Ooooo, what’s it say?”
“I dunno, she won’t let me see!”
“Okay,” Lea cut in, “I’m gonna go home.”
“Yeah, so your demon boyfriend can bang you again, like you aren’t already pregnant—”
Lea’s face flamed. “Shut up, Sam, oh my god.”
“Lea,” Ari cut in, her voice sounding halfway between excited and desperate, “do the drawing! Send it to me! It’s for science!”
“No!“
“I missed you so much,” Tim groaned against her neck, having pinned her against the entryway wall as soon as she locked the door to the apartment.
“That doesn’t warrant essentially sexting me while I’m meeting with my sister and best friend!”
“Couldn’t help it,” he muttered. “I don’t even have any naked pictures of you, y’know. I must compensate by seeing you naked in person as much as physically possible.”
He was kissing her neck and fondling her breasts, and, well. When he was doing that, she couldn’t exactly argue with him, now could she?
“Where do you want me?” Lea breathed.
“That’s my good girl,” he growled. “Right here, baby. Gonna fuck you against the wall. Would you like that?”
Nodding eagerly, she wrapped her legs around his waist when he hoisted her up.
“So greedy,” he chuckled. “Gotta get your panties off first, don’t I?”
“I want it now,” she whined.
“Patience, sweetheart,” Tim scolded gently. “I promised you four orgasms before I fucked you.”
“I want your dick in me way more than I want orgasms,” she insisted with a rapid shake of her head.
He laughed outright at that. “Fuck, I love you. Okay. Whatever you want, baby. Let’s get your panties off.”
It felt like an eternity before he was sliding into her, but when he finally did, only then did it feel like she was home.
“You didn’t know you’d get pregnant?” Nicole asked, shocked.
Lea was sitting at a table in Tim’s parents’ house—the one he’d bought them fairly recently—with Sam and Lina for moral support in a discussion with her boyfriend’s—should she call him that when they were literally destined to be together for the rest of time?—mother and sister. Not that either woman was unpleasant, it was more that the topic was stressful.
It was weird being around Nicole, because she looked like she wasn’t any older than Lea herself was.
“Uh… no.”
Pauline stared at her in disbelief. “How did you not know?”
“Well,” Lea hedged, “there’s a lot of stuff about incubi that’s not really… common knowledge, so…”
“But he didn’t tell you?” Nicole persisted.
At this, Lina frowned and turned her gaze on her sister. “Yeah, why wouldn’t he tell you?” she asked, suspicion etched clearly onto her face.
“We didn’t discuss actually…” She wrung her hands anxiously. “When he told me what he was, he didn’t explain too much about what would happen if we— if I agreed. And then when he woke up, I didn’t think to ask.”
“And you didn’t know that hormonal birth control doesn’t work with Otherworlders?” Pauline clarified, eyebrows raised.
Lea shook her head, embarrassed. “I… I guess I never thought about it. Before I met Tim, I’d never known any others, really. Not well, anyway. Just kinda in passing, y’know?”
“What about Grace Robertson?” Sam asked, referencing a girl they’d gone to high school with. “Everybody said she was fae.”
“She wasn’t,” Lina said, her tone flat.
“How do you know?” Sam demanded, annoyed at being corrected.
Lina shrugged. “I dated her the summer after I graduated. Not a fae, she’s just like that.”
“There must’ve been some secretive ones, at the very least,” Nicole mused thoughtfully.
“No clue,” Sam admitted. “There’s not exactly a huge Otherworlder population on the North Carolina coast.”
“So…” Pauline began thoughtfully, but her mother cut her off.
“Where are you wanting to raise the baby?” Nicole asked.
Lea blinked, startled. “I… don’t know?”
“You should consider getting a few different houses,” Nicole explained. “Children need a great deal of space, and Timothée’s traveling constantly.” She waved a hand dismissively, as if this was somewhat of an annoyance to her. “With regard to what you should expect, he doesn’t know, as pregnancies aren’t terribly common, but it’s important you’re aware.” She fixed Lea with a look that was somewhere between amusement and sympathy. “He will be an absolute nightmare the entire time.”
Lea’s eyes widened. “W— what? Why? How?”
“He’ll enjoy that you are carrying his child,” Nicole began, the other four women listening with wife-eyed fascination—and mild disgust on the part of Lina and Pauline—as she explained. “He will want to feed off of you almost constantly—“ Lea choked at this, unused to such a pragmatic discussion of sex, but Nicole didn’t seem to notice, continuing, “—and then he will feel terribly guilty for making you tired as a result of feeding off of you. He will be ridiculously overprotective and will not want you to do anything at all, which I found particularly annoying.” She rolled her eyes at what Lea presumed was a memory. “For your sake, I hope he’s not having to do any work over the course of your pregnancy. He’ll be even worse then.”
Lea frowned. “Should I just… stay with my mom during it?”
Nicole’s eyes widened and she shook her head firmly. “No. He’d lose his mind if you did that.”
Sighing, Lea wrung her hands in her lap. “It sounds like he’ll be awful to be around,” she admitted.
“There are some upsides,” Nicole told her. “He’ll go out of his way to make you happy—even more so than normal—and will want to do things for you. He’ll be very excited for the baby, as well. It’s not so bad, overall. Neither of my pregnancies were particularly difficult; it generally isn’t too bad for the human mate.”
“Is there any, uh…” Lea gulped anxiously. “Weird demon-y stuff I should expect?”
Nicole shook her head. “The baby will be a normal human until they come into their inheritance in early adulthood. That usually happens around seventeen to eighteen.” After a moment, Nicole clapped brightly. “Now then! Let’s discuss what sort of house you’d like here in New York.”
Nicole, as it turned out, was correct.
Tim was a total nightmare.
“Lea, sweetheart,” he was attempting to placate, “we need a minimum of six houses.”
“We do not!” she insisted shrilly.
“I’m in Europe all the time,” he explained gently, “and I want you and our daughter to have a stable home no matter where we are—“
“You don’t even know if it’s a girl,” she groaned for the bazillionth time.
“I want a girl that looks just like you,” he reminded her. “And don’t change the subject. We need multiple houses.”
“It’s excessive,” Lea informed him. “It’s an unnecessary expense.”
“It’s completely necessary,” he corrected her, “and it’s not like I can’t afford it. What’s the big deal?”
Lea threw her hands up in exasperation. “Alright, alright!” She grabbed her purse and made to leave the apartment.
“Where are you going?” he asked, concern evident in his voice.
“To get some coffee.”
“W— what?” he sputtered. “Lea, sweetheart, you’re pregnant, you can’t have caffeine!”
“I can have a small amount a day.”
“Says who?!” he demanded.
“The doctor, Tim!” she finally snapped. “God, you’re driving me crazy!”
“I’m sorry,” he mumbled, sounding sheepish. “I just… I love you so much, and I worry about you.”
Lea sighed, turning to face him with her arms crossed. “I know. I love you, too. Just… just try and let up a little bit, okay? I know you just wanna help and take care of me and stuff, but stressing me out isn’t gonna help me or the baby.”
“Okay,” he agreed. “How can I help you de-stress?” Then he perked up, a thought occurring to him. “I can think of a few ways, actually.”
She snorted. “I’m sure you can. Why don’t you come with me to get coffee instead?”
Tim grinned brightly at that, taking her hand and leading her out the door.
She was surprised when he took her hand, threading their fingers together.
“Aren’t you worried about people seeing?”
He shrugged. “You’re my mate and the mother of my child. They’re gonna find out at some point. I don’t see any reason to hide it, really.”
Lea frowned as they made their way out of his building. “You haven’t even told anyone what you are.”
“No one’s ever asked, to be fair,” he pointed out.
“Well, it’s rude to ask someone you don’t know,” she reminded him, “and anyone who does know you wouldn’t say anything.”
He hummed. “Lots of Otherworlders have mates, though. And I think most people kinda assume I’m something, anyway.”
“That’s certainly true,” she agreed.
“Our usual place?” he asked as they made their way out onto the sidewalk, the breeze ruffling the hemline of her pink Ciao Lucia sundress. When Lea nodded, he changed the subject with a smile. “Have you decided on a name yet?”
She laughed. “I’m only a few weeks along!”
He grinned down at her. “So? It’s best we decide these things as soon as possible; I’m planning on getting a house for us not too far outside the city as soon as I can—I considered doing it while you were out for winter break, but you’d be five months along, and I don’t want you going through a move when you’re that far along—so we’ll be fine on that. The sooner you make decisions about the baby, though, the better.”
They went into the coffee shop and got in line. He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her in close to his side. She leaned her head against him, inhaling his scent.
The cashier stuttered throughout the process of taking their order, looking at Tim as if he were a ghost.
Once they’d ordered, they stepped back to stand against the walls of the coffee shop, nestling in close together.
“Excuse me,” came a tentative voice to their side.
They both turned to look at the girl who’d spoken. Lea blinked. “Uh… hi?”
The girl’s eyes widened, as if she hadn’t noticed Lea was there. “H— hi,” she stuttered out before looking back at Tim. “I’m so sorry to bother you, but if it’s not too much trouble, could I have a picture?”
Tim smiled politely. “Of course!” He pulled his arm away from Lea. “Can you take it, sweetheart?”
When she heard the endearment, the girl’s eyes got even wider, if that were possible. She didn’t say anything about it, though, giving her phone to Lea with a small smile.
Lea smiled back, snapping a picture of Tim with the girl, who thanked him profusely before leaving.
As it turned out, paparazzi had managed to get a bunch of pictures of them. They hadn’t even been out that long, but Tim had kissed her on the way back. Even if he hadn’t, though, the arm he had around her waist was telling enough.
There was what amounted to an online manhunt for Lea’s identity, and it didn’t take long at all for her to be located. She privated all her accounts, but she’d gotten plenty of hate already.
Tim flew them down for Thanksgiving. She knew she had to tell her mom about the situation during their visit. There was no way around it.
The house Lea had grown up in was a yellow coastal style home with five bedrooms and a large porch. The front door was, technically speaking, on the second floor, but this was not uncommon for houses built right on the beach. The living room, kitchen, and dining room were all on the third floor, as was the small guest bedroom.
Directly to the left of the front door was the master bedroom, which was occupied by the only full-time resident of the house: Lea’s mother, Rosalie. Ahead of the front door, on either side, were two bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom. Each one was decently sized and had access to the balcony, so Ari and Lina were quite content with the rooms. To the right of the front door were the stairs to the third floor, and next to the stairs were a door that, if opened, led downstairs to Lea’s bedroom.
Lea liked it because she had an entire floor to herself, complete with her own bathroom and a private entrance. Her room may not be as big as her sisters’, but the privacy more than made up for it.
This privacy, she knew, would be absolutely essential with Tim there. He’d offered to get them a hotel suite, but Lea had insisted that for his first visit as her boyfriend and father of her child, it was important they stay with her mom.
Lea had told her mom she was bringing a guest. She knew Rosalie was assuming that the guest was Sam, who would, of course, stay in the guest room.
Lea was not looking forward to telling her mom about Tim. Rosalie did not like or trust men, and she would be very upset indeed about Lea getting knocked up by an incubus.
“Mom?” Lea called as she shut the door behind her. Tim had just popped up behind her in his customary black smoke, suitcases in tow.
“Upstairs!” called Rosalie.
Lea stepped inside hesitantly, gesturing for Tim to leave their luggage in the entryway. She didn’t think her mom would disallow them from staying, but she wasn’t sure how welcome they’d be after Lea broke the news to her.
Neither of her sisters had gotten there yet, so it was just her and Tim. “My room is down there,” she told him quietly, pointing at the door to the right of the stairs. “C’mon. If she explodes, she explodes.”
“Do you really think she’ll be mad?” he asked. She could hear the frown in his voice.
Lea snorted derisively. “Oh, yeah. Definitely. More at you than me, most likely.”
“At least there’s that,” he hummed. “None of this is your fault, after all.”
“In the kitchen, honey,” her mother called out as they reached the top of the stairs and turned the corner towards the kitchen. “I figured you and your guest would like something to dri— oh!” she cut herself off with a gasp when she saw who Lea was with.
Rosalie Blanchard was nearly fifty. Like her daughters, she had brown eyes and curly red hair, though it was graying at her temples now. She wore it in a bun at the base of her neck.
“Who’s your guest?” she asked, her voice as tight as the curls she kept pinned to her scalp.
“Mom,” Lea began, “this is Tim. He’s my boyfriend.”
Rosalie’s lips pursed. “Your boyfriend.”
Lea nodded, and Tim stepped forward with a somewhat sheepish smile. “Hi, Mrs. Blanchard. I’m Timothée. Or Tim, whatever.”
“Hello,” she greeted stiffly.
“Tim,” Lea said brightly, “would you go take our bags to my room, please?”
“The door next to the stairs, right?” he clarified.
Lea nodded, and he squeezed her hand encouragingly as he went back down the stairs. She knew he’d give her and her mom space as she explained the situation.
“You didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend.”
Lea winced. “I wanted to tell you in person.”
“Is he good to you?”
“He’s wonderful, Mom,” Lea said quietly. “I love him very much.”
Rosalie’s eyes widened. “You love him?”
Lea nodded. “We should sit down.”
Rosalie looked scared now, swiftly crossing towards the living room and settling into a chair. Lea sat on the couch kitty corner from her.
“What’s going on?” her mom demanded in a voice that indicated she really, really didn’t want to know the answer.
“What do you know about incubi?” Lea asked after several tense heats of silence.
Rosalie’s eyes widened further. “Is… is that boy one?”
Lea nodded. “Yes. I’m his mate.”
Her mom shook her head rapidly. “No, you’re not. You can’t be.”
“That was my initial reaction, too,” she agreed, nodding. “I am, though. That birthmark I have, the one of the eight pointed star? It’s a symbol of a mate.”
Rosalie shook her head more. “It can’t be. Your sisters have the same one.”
“I know, yeah. I’m trying to figure out how to break that news to them,” Lea admitted with a wince. “But that doesn’t matter right now. I need to tell you about Tim.”
“Is he gonna come back up?”
Lea shook her head. “Not until I call him.”
“How long have you been with him?”
Lea twisted her hands in her lap anxiously. “Remember when I had to cancel my last visit during the summer?” When her mom nodded, she went on, “It was because I’d found out what I am to him. He was… he was very sick. He needed me.”
“Sick? I didn’t even know Otherworlders got sick.”
“Well…” Lea grimaced, trying to think of how to word what she needed to say. “You know what incubi feed off of, I’m sure.”
Rosalie made a face like she’d smelled something especially unpleasant. “I’m trying not to think about it.”
Lea looked down at her hands, still twisting anxiously in her lap. “Well… we met, you see, and we became friends. I didn’t want to have feelings for him, so when they developed, I just ignored them. But then…” She took a deep breath. “He wasn’t going to tell me. He just wanted to see me beforehand. One last time, he said. But he looked so sick, Mom.” She looked up at Rosalie then, trying to convey how strongly she felt about Tim, how scared she’d been. “I made him tell me what was going on.”
“What, exactly, was going on?” her mom asked slowly.
“He can’t feed from anyone but me now that we’ve met,” she murmured, looking away and flushing to the roots of her hair. “He was going to starve. He almost did.”
“And he never told you?”
Lea shook her head. “He knew I didn’t want a relationship with anyone, so he didn’t tell me. He said he didn’t want me to feel like it was my fault.”
Her mom hummed thoughtfully at this. “That was good of him.”
“I know.” Tears came to her eyes at the memory of how close to death he’d been. “He almost died because of me, Mom. He would’ve died if I hadn’t accepted him.”
“But you did,” Rosalie observed.
Lea nodded. “I did, yeah. I love him. I’m happy with him.”
“Aren’t incubi immortal?” Rosalie asked shakily.
Lea nodded.
“How old is he, then? He looked to be not much older than you, but if he’s immortal…”
“We don’t know how old he is,” Lea admitted quietly. “He mentioned the Fall of Troy at one point.”
“So he’s over three thousand years old, then?!”
Lea shrugged. “At least that, yeah. Probably more.”
“You aren’t even twenty-one yet!” her mother snapped. “Besides, isn’t he sucking your life force away?”
She shook her head at that. “No, Mom. He lengthens my life, actually. If I’m with him, I could potentially just… never die.”
Her mother blinked at her. “Oh.”
Lea wrung her hands. “There’s something else.”
Rosalie tensed. “What else could there possibly be?”
“Well,” Lea began hesitantly, “there was a bit of a miscommunication, you see. When we… y’know…” Her mom winced, but she continued, “he had reason to believe I knew that hormonal birth control doesn’t work on Otherworlders. So we weren’t using anything other than that, and as a result…”
“You’re pregnant.” It was a statement of fact rather than a question.
Lea nodded. “I’m keeping it.”
“How in the hell do you plan on affording a baby, Amelie Juliana?” Rosalie demanded, using Lea’s full name the way she did when she was especially angry.
Lea hesitated. “Well… Tim can afford it.”
“He can, can he?” Rosalie scoffed.
“I know you’re not big into pop culture, Mom,” Lea began, “but Tim is an actor.”
Rosalie rolled her eyes. “Actors are just another brand of starving artists.”
Lea shook her head. “He’s not a small-time actor. He’s been in major blockbusters. He has plenty of money for us. He refuses to let me work, actually. Not that I’d want to anyway, but still.”
“I’ll believe that when I see it,” Rosalie griped. “Alright.” She sighed. “Bring this boy of yours up.”
Lea nodded. “Tim!” she called.
He appeared in a puff of black smoke. Rosalie jolted.
“You told her, I take it?”
Lea nodded. “I explained everything.”
Rosalie stood then, striding over to Tim and completely ignoring the fact that he towered over her. “You got my daughter pregnant,” she accused, her voice sharp.
“I did,” he confirmed.
“Are you going to take care of her and the baby?”
“She’s my mate,” he explained. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her.”
Rosalie pursed her lips, looking Tim up and down. She took a step closer to him, and he blinked down at her. “I don’t care who you are or what you are. If you hurt Lea, you’ll never see the light of day again.”
“Mom,” Lea groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose.
“I won’t hurt her,” Tim promised gently, glancing back at Lea.
Rosalie nodded, finally taking a step back. “Well then. I’m going to the store. Hopefully they’re not out of turkeys yet.”
Ten minutes later, he had her pressed up against the wall of her childhood bedroom as he kissed her neck and hiked her blue Burberry miniskirt up her thighs.
“This is a nice room,” he muttered against her skin. “Can I fuck you in it?”
Lea giggled mindlessly, snaking her hands up around his neck.
“I’d be insulted if you didn’t, actually.”
An hour and a half later, Lea was passed out—naked, which was how he preferred her—in his arms. It would be at least another hour or two before she’d rested enough to wake up.
Then, he heard the front door open from the floor above them.
“Lea!” a voice he didn’t recognize called, though it was slightly muffled. “Where’s your boytoy?”
Tim extracted himself from Lea’s embrace and quickly pulled a pair of sweatpants out of his suitcase and yanking his t-shirt from before over his head.
He gave Lea a swift kiss on the forehead and left the room as quietly as he could. Taking the stairs two at a time, he smiled at the pair of women. One he recognized as Lea’s older sister, Lina, and the other, he figured was her younger sister, Ari, whom he hadn’t met.
“Hello,” he greeted politely. Both girls looked so much like Lea—and her mother, too, if he were honest—that it was startling. They had the same curly red hair, the same dark eyes. They were even of a similar stature. “Nice to see you again, Lina.” Then he turned to the younger of the two. “You’re Ari, right? I’m Timothée.”
Ari stared up at him with wide eyes. Lina merely pursed her lips, unimpressed and asked, “Where’s Lea?”
“Taking a nap,” Tim explained. “She’s very worn out.”
“From an hour long flight?” Lina asked skeptically, an eyebrow raised.
“Errrrrr…” Tim grimaced, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably.
Finally snapping out of her trance, Ari rolled her eyes and stepped forward, hand outstretched. “Nice to meet you, Timothée. Lea’s told me a lot about you.”
“All good things, I hope,” he remarked with a good-natured smile.
Both girls opened their mouths to respond, but whatever they would’ve said was preempted by the front door opening again. Rosalie stepped through, carrying several bags of groceries.
Tim immediately rushed over to take them from her. “Here, let me get those. Are there more?”
The woman nodded once, then said, “Girls, unpack these, if you would.”
When Lea woke up a couple of hours later, she was surprised to find that Tim had successfully charmed her mother and sisters.
“I dunno how you did that,” she admitted that evening as he climbed into the shower behind her. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom smile at a guy before. She doesn’t even let Ari bring home anyone.”
“Dunno,” Tim said with a shrug, leaning his head forward to wet his hair. “All I did was help with the groceries and cooking and whatnot.”
She leaned back against his chest with a grin. “Maybe they just could tell how much I love you and decided to give you a chance.”
He hummed, wrapping his arms around her waist, one hand on her barely protruding stomach.
“They kept asking about the baby, y’know.”
Lea smiled. “And what did you tell them?”
“That you’re fifteen weeks along and refuse to accept that it’s a girl.”
Laughing, she turned slightly so as to kiss him. “We don’t know what it is yet. It could be a girl.”
He hummed. “We’ll have more either way.”
“Yeah?” She leaned up to kiss him again.
“Mhm,” he confirmed. “Ideally, you’ll be pregnant a fair amount of the time.” He trailed his hands up her torso to cup her breasts, teasing her sensitive nipples.
“Tim,” she said breathlessly, arching into his touch, “can I suck your dick? Please?”
“Fuck,” he groaned, squeezing her breasts roughly. “Anything for you, baby. Anything you want.”
She turned around and sank to her knees without hesitation, completely disregarding the shower beating down on her. She was unable to resist him long enough to even tease him before she took him into her mouth. His hand found her hair, and he guided her up and down his length, the barbels catching on her lower lip.
“Such a good girl,” he moaned. “Suck me so well, baby. Make me feel so good.” He was watching her, and she knew from the red in his eyes that he was feeding from her, too. Excited by the thought of this, she reached between her legs and started rubbing her clit. “Oh, fuck, Lea,” he said hoarsely. “Are you touching yourself, sweetheart?”
“Mhm,” she hummed around him, moaning softly.
“Like sucking my cock that much, huh?”
She moaned again, eager for more of him.
“Like that, baby,” he groaned, the hand in her hair clenching. “Suck it like that, fuck. Good girl. Such a good little slut, all for me.”
She rubbed her clit faster, loving how he talked to her.
“You gonna make yourself cum for me, baby?” he demanded. “You gonna cum with my cock in that pretty little mouth of yours?”
She moaned mindlessly around him, wishing he’d pin her down and fuck her, right there in the bathtub with the shower running.
“That’s it,” Tim encouraged. “Make yourself cum, sweetheart. Such a good little slut for me, aren’t you? Getting off on sucking my cock.” When she did nothing but moan, her hips rocking into her hand, he continued, “C’mon, baby. Cum for me.”
She moaned again, this time long and loud, and the vibrations must’ve been too much, because he spilled into her mouth.
She was dazed as he pulled her up, kissing her slowly, leisurely. She kisses him back, leaning into him as she did.
“C’mon, love,” he told her gently, “let’s get you clean and into bed, okay?”
“Mmkay,” she mumbled sleepily, her eyes drooping.
He washed her hair and body, keeping it surprisingly nonsexual—for the most part, anyway; he hadn’t been able to stop himself from squeezing her breasts as he lathered them with soap—before quickly bathing himself, too, and then drying them both off. He settled her into bed and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her naked body close against his own.
“Wait,” she mumbled against his chest. “Did’ya lock the doors?”
“‘Course I did, baby,” he told her with a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“Top of the stairs, back door, and bedroom?” she clarified.
“Mhm,” he confirmed. “Sleep, Lea.”
“Mkay,” she mumbled, nestling in closer to him. “Love you.”
He tightened his arms around her. “I love you, too, sweetheart.”
“You mad it turned out to be a boy?” Lea asked, glancing up at Tim from where she was bottle feeding their newborn son in their bed.
He settled down beside her. “No,” he promised with a smile. “I’d’ve been happy with anything. You know that.” After a pause, he added, “Besides, it’s not like we can’t have more.”
“Lea,” Tim said one day after she had put Theo down for a nap in the nursery they’d set up at their French estate, “why haven’t we gotten married?”
Lea froze in her tracks, blinking up at him in disbelief. “Uh… because you haven’t asked me?”
He stared down at her. “Oh. Alright, then.”
Approximately a month later, Tim took her out to dinner at Guy Savoy in Paris. He had rented out a private dining room for them, the way he usually did, and when he got down on one knee and told her that if he could’ve crafted the perfect mate for himself, he would’ve made her just as she was, she teared up. When he told her that as far as he was concerned, she already was his wife and that they just needed to make it official in the eyes of the law, she cried, nodding eagerly.
He slid the ring on her finger, and then he’d insisted upon finding a bathroom to fuck her in.
She’d needed some coffee after that.
As it turned out, Tim had several cousins. Shockingly, Ari and Lina turned out to be the mates of two of them.
Lina in particular was skeptical of this, concerned that her Mark indicated that she’d end up bound to a man, an incubus, but it turned out to be a succubus.
Ari, on the other hand, had zero issues with the whole thing.
Sam fell in love with a fae who was friends with Tim, who regularly gave her nectar to keep her from aging, and Lea’s mom insisted upon being turned into a vampire, refusing to leave her daughters behind.
It eventually got out that Tim was an incubus. He hid it for a very long time, but nothing remains a secret forever. By that point, however, it was quite clear that he wasn’t human; humans aren’t in the public eye for several hundred years without aging, after all. Still, he generally didn’t discuss his personal life, and that suited Lea just fine. No matter how long things went on, no matter how many lifetimes she lived, she never really got used to the idea of publicly being the wife of a celebrity.
Not that people weren’t aware, of course. She attended events with him and everything, he just wouldn’t discuss their relationship.
They had a lot of kids. Not all at once, or course. Their first five were in rather quick succession—over the course of eighteen years, if one could count that as quick—and then they waited a good long while to have more. But after awhile, when all five children were grown with lives of their own, he convinced her to let him get her pregnant again.
Family reunions were very hectic indeed. Eventually, Tim had to purchase what Lea insisted was a palace. To be fair, a house—though referring to such a large estate as a house was more than a bit of a stretch—of that size was a necessity if they were to house their entire family—their children, descendants, and relatives—at once.
“Oh, goddammit,” she muttered as she stared at the results of the pregnancy test.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” came Tim’s voice. He’d only just strode into the room.
Irritated by his apparent inability to control his jizz, she tossed the test at him.
He caught it without thinking, fumbling with it for a moment before examining what she’d thrown at him. He looked up at her with wide, shocked eyes, a grin slowly splitting his face. “Again?”
“Yes, Timothée,” she snapped. “Again. Learn to control yourself, for fuck’s sake! We have great-great grandchildren!”
He pouted, almost whining when he said, “It’s not my fault! You’re just so sexy, you don’t look nearly old enough to warrant adult children, after all, let alone anything beyond that—“
“No,” she told him slowly, “the issue is you’re a glutton.”
He frowned outright then. “Do you… do you not want it…?”
She pursed her lips, turning around and going towards her closet. “I didn’t say that.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on top of her head. “I’m sorry. I honestly don’t mean to. I just… I love you so much, y’know?”
Lea put her hand over his, lacing their fingers together. “Yeah, Tim. I know.” She sighed. “I love you, too.”
“Does that mean you’re keeping it?”
Lea snorted softly. “Of course I’m keeping it, stupid. It’s ours; yours and mine.”
“You’re mine,” he murmured, tilting her head up so as to kiss her.
She smiled against his lips, threading her fingers through his hair. “And you’re mine.”
