“Got it.”
“Understood.”
“Roger that.”
“Will do.”
A chorus of affirmations greeted me as they all started to get to their feet.
“Riley, Carter, Trevor, Aunt Glory, Athair m貌r, I am sorry to all of you.”
“What for?” They paused and looked at me with wide eyes.
“Well, for one thing, you didn’t plan on sleeping here, so you have no luggage. For two, your families aren’t here with you.”
“That isn’t an issue, Riviana.” Riley smiled at us. “They understand that there are extenuating circumstances at the moment.”
“Plus, you can always open a door for us to see our families if we need it.” Trevor added.
“And I think that all of us have clothes in our homes here. I know that I do. I never know when I need to make an unexpected trip home. So, keeping things here and ready is an essential thing for me.”
“We’ve had peace for a long time, Riviana. That had been wonderful, and it would be ideal for things to stay that way. However, this is something that is affecting us all. A girl that was half Fae has been murdered as well. And there are others that are of our kind too. So many people in our united communities have been hurt. We understand the need for us to come together right now. We understand that and you need to as well. We’re here to help you, Garin铆on. Out of love and respect for you.” Athair m貌r, always a calming voice of wisdom, put his hands on my shoulders as he spoke to me in a soothing voice.
“Thank you, Athair m貌r. I love you.” I hugged him tightly then, taking in his warmth and kindness as it helped to settle my nerves a little bit.
“I love you too, Riviana.” He squeezed me tighter and kissed the top of my head like I was a child. I knew that he couldn’t help but treat me as a child. Even though I was an adult when I met him, he was about three thousand years older than me. To him, I was just a little sprout that was starting to bud. Definitely nowhere near as mature and knowledgeable as he was.
I watched them all leave the room with a heavy heart. I knew that this case was disrupting their lives and I didn’t want to do that to them. I didn’t want to be the cause of them having strained relationships with their family or staying away for so long. I just wasn’t able to do anything about it.
“Come on, Little Bunny.” Joaquin took my hand as he started to pull me toward the hall. “We should get some rest too. We’ve got a busy day tomorrow as well.” He was right. There really was a lot for us to do.
“Alright, Fido, let’s get to bed.” I gripped his hand a little tighter. A surge of excitement coursing through me. I was going to be sleeping in my own bed, in my own room, in my own home. It had been a while since I was able to do that and I really had missed it.

Joaquin

I knew that being home with the kids was a good idea for my Little Bunny, but I also knew that the case bringing us here was stressing her out. She was worried. Not just about our people in general, but about our family. I wouldn’t be surprised if my Little Bunny decided to forbid the kids from leaving the house for a while. She might even tell them that they can’t go to school and things like that.
However, I knew that doing that wouldn’t be good for them. Especially for Reagan and Rika they would likely rebel against us if we just started taking away their freedoms. As much as I wanted my kids to be safe, and as much as I wanted them to be here with me and my wife, I couldn’t bring myself to make them hate me.
And I couldn’t bring myself to let my wife go on being this miserable. I knew that she needed me. I knew that she needed some sort of comfort that was going to calm her down for the time being.
All the while that we went to our room and settled back into our normal routine, I thought of what would make her feel better. While we took a quick shower together, brushed our teeth, got dressed, all that time I tried to figure out what it was that I could do to help my wife settle down.
…..
I finally figured out that all I needed to do was hold her. All I needed to do was be there for her to rest on when she was feeling weary. So that was exactly what I did. I was only wearing a pair of shorts when I sat with my back against the headboard and pillows. My Little Bunny was wearing a light blue silk nighty top and matching silk bottoms. It was revealing on the top, but it wasn’t as sexy as if she were wearing just the negligee. I figured that we would be fine with me just holding her in my arms at the moment.
“Come here.” I pulled her onto my lap as she went to lay down in the bed next to me.
“What is it, Joaquin?” She asked me as I positioned her with her knees on either side of me.
“I want to hold you. Is that a problem?” I pulled her against my chest and started to stroke her hair.
“Are you feeling nervous or upset about something?” She sounded suspicious about my motives. “Or are you just horny?” She laughed at that last part.
“I just want to hold you, Riviana. Is that so bad? I love you, and we’ve had a lot to deal with lately. I know that you are feeling just as stressed as I have been lately. I wanted to make sure that you are doing OK. You are my mate, my wife, my Luna, and my queen. It is my job to take care of you and make sure that you are doing alright at all times.” I was running my hands along her back as I spoke, stroking it tenderly. I knew that she was ticklish though, so that also meant that she was squirming just a little bit on my lap.
“I have been stressed, that is true. But I have you, Joaquin. I always have you at my side and that means that I am never too far gone. You just being there for me helps me.” She lifted her head from where it had been resting on my chest and looked me in the eyes. “I love you, Joaquin.” She cupped my cheek as she spoke, leaned in, and kissed me gently. It was far from the first time that she had initiated a kiss with me. There had literally been thousands, but I loved it every time that she initiated something with me. It always made me feel her love that much more.
“I love you too, Little Bunny.” I kissed her this time, deeper and more passionate than the quick kiss that she had given to me.
The kiss quickly evolved into more than what I had planned for it to be. The moment that I slipped my tongue into her mouth, it was like something changed. Not just in me, but in her as well. As her soft lips molded themselves against mine, I also felt her body simultaneously mold itself against me and start moving in small yet erotic motions.
She was teasing me. And she was doing it perfectly. As her left hand reached up to run through my hair, she put the other on my chest, running her fingers over the hard planes of muscle.
“Riviana” I whispered her name as I broke the kiss, our lips still pressed together.
“Joaquin.” She whispered back as she shifted her weight. She was angling herself so that she was sitting more directly on my already hardening shaft.
“Ngh!” I moaned at the feel of her warm core cradling me already.
