Two Months Later: Xorn

I brushed my tongue over the healed bite mark I left on Maggie's shoulder. We were enjoying the warm waters of the heated springs, as had become our nightly ritual. It was now only a light scar, but it would suffice. The mark was an indication, to her and anyone who thought to take her from me, that Maggie was mine, my prey, for now and forever.

In the two months since I claimed her, we did not travel outside my safe domain. Eventually, however, we would be forced to leave our private little bubble. The mark would protect her from most predators, other than me of course. Not many would be as ignorant as Cletus was to test me.

Just as I had predicted, becoming immortal, had not changed Maggie's caring demeanor in the slightest, her only display of darkness being the dark carnal desires of the sexual nature. She really enjoyed being tied and taken rough. Today though, I would be gentle.

Maggie did not yet sense the hybrid child growing in her womb, but I could. Vibrations pulsed through me, as the child's heartbeat pounded through my ears, and I could not help but to wrap myself around her naked body a little tighter, placing my claws right above her navel.

Before Maggie, I had never thought of having a family or bringing offspring into my world. There was no female who could hold my attention, or a spot in my bed, for more than a night or two.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" I had unconsciously started rubbing Maggie's belly and naturally she was curious when I had grown too quiet.

"Would you really like to know, female?" I questioned her playfully as I moved my clawed hand down her stomach and closer to her core, thumping her pretty button lightly. Just a touch of her sweet treasure had the monster in me threatening to come out to play. Currently in my demon-form, my minotaur form was pushing closer to the surface, longing to take her hard and rough.

"I always want to know. You've been very distracted," Maggie groaned as she rubbed her backside against my ever-growing member. "Play with me bull-boy...." She tempted the beast in me.

I pushed her away, trying to recollect myself. I did not want to hurt the child. The possibility of it being born more human-like forcing me to retain my composure.

"Let's talk first, my sweet. Then, I will take you." I was confused on how to address the situation at hand. Maggie had not spoken her thoughts on having children with me. What if she did not wish to birth a demon/minotaur hybrid baby?

"I have much better things I can do with my mouth at the moment, Xorn. What is there to talk about?" Becoming immortal seemed to only increase Maggie's lustful appetite or maybe it was the pregnancy hormones. There was nothing to do but get right to the point.

"You are with child, my sweet." She went real still on my lap.

"What?"

"You are pregnant."

"I know what with child means, bull-boy. I am not illiterate." What makes you think I am with child?"

"I do not think, I know, Maggie. And I can sense him. I can feel and hear his heart beating inside you, as well as smell him on you."

"So, it is a boy, then?" She asked the question very calmly. It was a little shocking.

"I sense a boy. I am fairly ever wrong, but we will not know for sure until he arrives, I presume."

"I can name five times you have been wrong in the past week off the top of my head, Xorn. I think your gift is broken." She laughed at her own joke, which I did not find the least bit funny.

"Shall we make it a wager then, my sweet. A game of sorts. I know you love our little games."

"I do love our games. I'm in. What do you propose, bull-boy?" I hated that nickname, despised it really. I was no boy, no weak human at all, but a beast. I would show her just as much when I ravaged her later. But now, I had to come up with the ultimate prize for my inevitable victory.

"So, if I am right, as I know I will be, you must do one thing for me, no matter what it is. If I am wrong, you will receive the same from me." It really was a win-win for me, for I would do whatever she wished anyway.

"Deal. So, what is it you desire most, my beast?"

"I have claimed you. You have my mark. Your body, soul, and heart are all mine. In the dark realm, my claim on you is completely valid. My only wish now is for you to carry my name and for my claim to be staked in your world, as well. In other words, I want you to be my human bride."

Tears welled in her eyes, and the shock on her face expressed how surprised she truly was at my request. My monsterly carnal desires were still present full force, of course, but being with Maggie had awaken some sentimental part of me that had never reared its head before. To my own surprise, I rather enjoyed the nurturing part of me that balanced out the dominating monster within,

"Yes. Even if the baby is a girl, I will become your wife, Xorn." She bounced up and down on my lap, kissing me all over.

"And what about you, my sweet mate. What is your wish to be?"

She stilled, wiping her tears of joy away with her free hand. "To be honest, I'm not sure yet, but you never said I had to tell you now, anyway. I prefer it to be a surprise. I will tell you as soon as the baby arrives."

"Naughty female, always playing dirty. Very well, I cannot wait to hear what you won't get."

"Oh, and one more thing, bull-boy, I want to go to the doctor in my own realm. I will not be having this baby in this cave without trained medical professionals. So that means, we have to leave your sanctuary and visit the living again."

"If we must, I will agree to your conditions. But do not think this will be a way for you to cheat, my love. I will choose your healer and there will be no early revealing of the baby's sex. No human will know how to deliver a hybrid offspring and I am not trusting your safety to one of those weaklings."

"That's fair." Even with her agreement, I dreaded returning to her realm. I had everything I needed right here, but even I knew neither myself nor my minion hybrid brothers were equipped to deliver a baby or guide my love through her pregnancy. Lucky for us, I knew just who was.

"Good. Your first visit will be next week, if you wish. Until then, my hunger needs to be sated," was the last thing I said before preceding to go down on my little immortal human and show her better use of my tongue. 

A/N: What do you think Maggie will request? Do you think Maggie and Xorn are having a little Mags or a Xorn JR? LMK!
