Gracie glanced over to see Sebastian looking a war with himself. His lips were pressed in a thin line as he glanced at the fire and towards the exit door.
"What is it?" Anxiety pooled in her stomach, "Is something wrong?"
"I'm going to go catch something for dinner. Are you going to be safe in here?" His eyebrows furrowed and he rubbed his jaw. "I don't want to leave you alone, but you need to rest and stay out of the cold."
"You also need to rest. You took the Cruciatus Curse as if it was a stinging hex. Isn't your body sore?"
A naughty smile rose on his lips, "Not as sore as you're going to be tonight. Conjure us something warm to lay on tonight, I'll be back with dinner."
Gracie didn't want him to go, but they did need something to eat before getting some rest tonight. Still, she couldn't help feeling like he was going to leave, and never come back.
"Be careful." She murmured, her voice revealing how uncomfortable she was with him leaving her alone. Even for a minute.
Sebastian winked, "I'll be quick, shortcake." He smiled, "I love you."
Gracie smiled back, "I'm yours."
He did remember her favorite dessert after all. Understanding and lust bloomed in his eyes, but adoration quickly followed. He flickered his eyes to her abdomen.
"You both are. Keep our daughter safe."
"Always."
Chapter Seventy: Back Home - Mature Read
Gracie dissipated the smell of cooked fish with a simple wave of her wand. Sebastian looked as if he'd rather take the Cruciatus Curse again than eat the sliver of fish of his plate.
"Eat the dried meat." Gracie passed the satchel over to him with a roll of her eyes. "I'm not eating all the fish, but I'll have some."
She remembered thirty minutes ago when he came in with a fish half the size of him. He'd been grinning like a caveman, entirely proud of his 'fishing.' What he considered 'fishing' was spotting the largest creature while on the rocky cliffs and lifting it out of the water with a levitation charm. He forgot that he'd have to eat the fish too which he disliked a lot. They shared the salad and bread, but he snacked on the dried meat while she ate the fish.
It was ugly and she didn't exactly want to eat it with the head still staring at her as it roasted over the fire. The Antarctic tooth fish was massive. It could feed them for days, but she had no intentions of being here that long. There were only so many places the creature could be hiding, but this island is where the 'x' had been on the map.
"So..." Gracie sat on top of the mass of blankets she'd conjured. It was already warm with the fire. The blankets were mostly to be cozy when they slept tonight. "Care to enlighten me why you're convinced we're having a daughter?"
Sebastian beamed at the thought, completely forgetting his woes over the cooked fish in front of him, "Whenever I slept, I never dreamt of my parents. It was of this nursery. The walls were green and you were painting a Quidditch pitch on the wall."
"How did you know it was me?"
"That scarlet hair of yours, shortcake. It's why I was so confused at first, wondering if you dyed your hair before remembering that you're a metamorphmagus." He explained easily, sending her another apologetic look to which she ignored. Gracie wanted to move past it. Her Sebastian was back. "I looked at the crib in the nursery and saw a baby girl. She had your eyes and freckles that reminded me of Anne."
"Not you?"
"She didn't have as many as I do." Sebastian reflected, his lips twitching at her disgruntled expression. "Shortcake, she did have plenty of freckles on her cheeks. Our baby is adorable. Anne only had freckles along her cheeks whereas I'm covered with them."
Gracie found herself smiling at that, thankful that in some way, Anne was commemorated. "Anne is a pretty name. I wouldn't mind the name for a daughter if that's-" She was cut off as Sebastian's features changed. He was looking at her with some unrecognizable motion that she thought was distraught. He hastily looked away from her, and she rose up to her knees. "If I offended-"
One moment she was looking at the back of his head and the next, she was flat against the mesh of blankets. Sebastian's hand was behind her head; ensuring he didn't hurt her when he was being rough with her.
The light of the fire next to them made shadows dance across his face. It made her remember their first kiss in Africa when only a candlelight had lit up the room. She flinched, feeling something warm trickle onto her cheek. She touched her cheek, only realizing that it was water? Not water. A tear.
A singular tear trickled down Sebastian's face and he was on all fours over her. His voice was gruff and tight with emotion as he spoke to her, "I don't deserve you."
She smiled, wiping his cheek. "You chase away the nightmares. You keep me safe. You remind me that you love me. You make me happy. Sebastian, you deserve everything the sky has to offer."
"I only want the moon." Sebastian murmured before placing a kiss against the base of her throat.
A heat transpired between the both of them. Neither of them could wait for the foreplay. It was the raw, primal feeling of needing to be close. Sebastian and her barely separated even as their clothes were discarded next to them. All she wanted-All they wanted was skin contact.
Sebastian trailed his lips down her jaw line, murmuring words of affirmations. How beautiful she was. How much he loved her. How he never wanted to be apart from her again. How their children and her would be his priority for the rest of their lives. Gracie had teasingly said he'd only be getting one child out of her. He bit her nipple in retaliation. The pain was soothed by his tongue as he swirled it around her the pebbled bud.
Gracie hitched her leg over his waist, feeling his erection against her lower abdomen. She needed him now. She didn't want to wait any longer. Her hips bucked against him and his breath turned ragged from the feeling of his cock sliding between her thighs. Sebastian pushed her hip down with his large hand that encompassed her with a silent command to wait. He was content with leaving marks along her body for the moment in the ultimate showcase that every part of her belonged to him.
That didn't stop Gracie as she bucked her hips again to interrupt the love mark he was leaving on the swell of her breast. Sebastian growled against her chest, but she felt the head of his cock push against her folds. Gripping her upper thigh, Sebastian entered her in one punishing push.
Her back arched off the floor, a whimper escaping her lips as Sebastian's hand moved up from her thigh to her arse cheek and squeezed hard. His fingers dug into the soft flesh of her hips as he moved slowly. Too slowly only for her to realize he was teasing her. Punishing her because of her impatience when he wasn't done leaving a love bite on her breast. Gracie narrowed her eyes, encouraging him to move faster with needy jerks of her hips. As much as he wanted to appear unaffected, Gracie watched as he bit down on his bottom lip and breathed deeply through his nose to calm himself down.
Sebastian stilled inside her, leaning down to drag his tongue against the sore mark on her breast, "Do you want it rough?" Gracie found herself nodding before he even had the question fully out. A smirk played on his lips, his thumb pulling down her bottom lip. "That's my dirty girl. Turn over."
She looked at him curious for a moment before he pulled out of her and tapped the side of her thigh impatiently. Gracie rolled over onto her stomach, lifting her hips as Sebastian placed a pillow under her. She turned her head in enough time to see Sebastian looking down at her with a hooded look on his face. He was biting his lip again, staring at her as if entranced by the woman submitting to him.
She wiggled, ever impatiently to have him back inside her. He smirked and nudged her thighs apart. In this position, she didn't have to raise her hips or anything. Sebastian entered her in a new angle that made her feel so full.
At first she gasped and shifted, "You're too-"
"You can handle me. You were made for me."
It was no nonsense, the way his voice became gravelly. It was deep and approving, encouraging her to take all of him. Sebastian took it slow again, allowing her the time to adjust in this position. However, the moment her mewls turned into full on moans, Sebastian picked up his pace while her face pressed against the sheets as he dominated her.
He placed a hand on her back in-between her shoulder blades and pushed down. She was completely under his mercy as he pounded into her. It was animalistic and Gracie was getting off on his noises alone. Low, deep grunts mixed in with moans and sharp breaths when she pushed back against him to match the punishing rhythm. He dragged his hand from the center of her back down to her arse and he gripped both her cheeks.
Sebastian kneaded the flesh, "So wet. So tight. What a good girl you are for me, aren't you shortcake? Squeezing me like you want me to spill into you already. Is that what you want? Do you want me to mark you inside too?"
Her heart was beating out of her chest in the unadulterated manner in which he spoke. Her hands formed fists around the blankets and she pushed back against him, "Please."
"Please, what?" Sebastian inquired, his voice brimming with seduction. She heard him spit and then felt his thumb press against her back entrance. He rimmed her, his hips jerking in surprise as she thrusted her hips back to make him hammer deeper into her. Or was it to push his thumb in? Either way, he was pleased with her reaction, letting out a moan of his own. "That's my pretty girl. You take me so well. Do you want more?"
"Mmhmm." He had reduced her to noises.
His voice. His touch. His love. She'd missed all of it. Gracie let out a sharp yelp, feeling more than just his thumb inside her; he'd pushed an entire finger into her. Sebastian didn't move his hand at first, allowing her to get used to the intrusion. At first it was uncomfortable, but the sheer naughtiness about it made her cry out in ecstasy once he started matching the pace of his cock buried into her with his finger in her arse. Sebastian went into a frenzy when he felt her flutter around him, noting that she not only liked it, but she was going to come from a finger alone.
Gracie felt it building, her core throbbing as the vice grip she had on Sebastian made him lose control. It felt like flames licking at her skin, warming her chest, and warning her that she was going to scream.
"Fuck, I love you so much." He curled his finger as he made room for one more, drowning in the wet slapping noises as she took everything he was willing to give.
Gracie turned her head again, just enough to see his dark gaze. "I love you more. Now fuck me harder."
He grinned naughtily at her, doing as his witch requested. "Debatable as far as the love part. Come for me, shortcake. Let go so I can fill up now and in the morning."
Intoxicated by the overwhelming pleasure, his hands, and of course his cock hitting the deepest parts of her, she broke apart underneath him. Gracie felt Sebastian still, enjoying her orgasm and the way she clenched around him, before he started rutting into her like a wild animal. Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes as she felt as if she was dissolving in the pleasure. The slap of their skin grew louder as Sebastian made it his mission to push her legs apart even more and find out how full he could really make her feel. It didn't matter how many more years they'd be together, she'd never get used to him.
With one particularly deep thrust, Sebastian let out a low-pitched moan and she watched him equally break apart on top of her. This image of him coming inside her was absolutely breathtaking with the ambiance and the mere fact that his eyes were an inferno that only burned for her. His chest was heaving and he had a satisfied grin tugging at his lips. Gracie felt his warmth seeping into her, coating her and making it more easy for Sebastian to lazily push in and out of her. She could feel him dripping out of her and it was like Sebastian was fucking it back into her. A submissive side of her reveled in it. Wanted more.
Careful to keep his full weight off of her, Sebastian stayed sheathed within her and kissed along the back of her shoulders where he knew she was sensitive. He used his hands to massage her lower back which had been arched this entire time for him. Gracie's eyes were starting to become heavy and she was barely awake as Sebastian slid out of her.
She felt him tear a piece of the blanket, wiping her thighs, and casting a quick scourgify to clean her up as well as himself. The flames grew brighter for a moment, indicating that he likely threw the piece of cloth into the fire before he kissed the side of her head.
"I'm going to check the wards and then I'll be right back." He murmured, pulling on his trousers.
Gracie turned her head, looking over at him. He was beautiful with the light of the fire defining his muscles. A light shimmer of sweat on his abdomen that he brushed away. Sebastian's tattoo slithered along his arm and he winked at her, noticing her stare before walking over to the entrance.
While it only took a few minutes, she was already almost asleep when he slid behind her. She turned over and frowned, noticing that he still had his trousers on.
He raised an eyebrow, daring her to say something.
She rose to the challenge, "Take those off."
"Already looking forward to round two?" Sebastian quipped, raising himself on his elbow as he stared down at her naked body. He enjoyed it for a moment or two until he decided that her comfort and warmth was far more important than his ogling.
Gracie sent him a sleepy smile as the blanket covered her shoulders, "I was serious about the trousers."
He snorted inwardly, "Demanding little thing. I knew it then outside the pub in Switzerland and I know it now. Is this what I have to look forward to the rest of my life?"
She sent him a pointed look, "If you ever want my arse, than yes."
Comically, he took his trousers off in record speed and turned her on her side. She felt Sebastian press against her bottom, "Say the word, Shortcake and I'll find all sorts of toys to start preparing you."
Gracie smile demurely, neither committing to it or not. Though he knew better. She enjoyed it when he took control and taught her things about her own body. "Go to sleep. We've got a long day and if you want me in the morning, you'll let me rest."
At that, Sebastian just chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist. His hand brushed her stomach soothingly, drawing small circles. The heat of his body welcomed her and for the first time in a few days... Gracie was going to wake up without crying.
He nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck and in record time, he was asleep.
That's right.
Sebastian never slept well until he'd met her. He was probably exhausted. Turning around, she brushed her fingers against his cheek as he snored softly. Gracie only stopped comforting him in his dreamy state when her own eyelids grew too heavy.
For the first time since he'd left...
She felt like she was back home.
