My Dark Lord

A Father's Love

      His eyes fluttered open as she pulled away, he could see in their reflection that his eyes were glowing with excitement and boy did she look sexy in breeches which accentuated rather than hid her curves despite still being a bit frail.

      "You wanted to know why I was made..." he muttered then turning away he felt himself tense, to have to relive this would be painful, "Let's go feed you first." he muttered, he needed to prepare himself.

      Placing his hand at her lower back he ushered her towards the door. Leaving out they descended the stairs quietly then made their way to the dining hall where he already heard Amelia and Yvette chattering away; they seemed like a little family hidden away here in the mountain keep.

      As they entered the room Amelia flew out of her seat and rushed at Freya her eyes glowing happily, "Sister you look so much better!" she called her little curls bouncing as she bounced excitedly; she was almost as beautiful as Freya was to him, almost. 

      "Big sister come sit beside me!" Amelia called happily.

      "Be easy with her Miss Amelia, don't pull on your sister so much." He warned to which Amelia narrowed her gaze at him, "Still not happy with me huh?" she answered him by thrusting her tongue out.

      "That's not very lady like Lady Amelia." Francois warned, she lowered her head and frowned.

      "Yes Francois, I'm sorry." she mumbled lowly.

      "You two look refreshed, come, eat Mi'Lady." Francois called then pulled out a seat right next to Amelia for Freya, once Freya sat down he sat on her other side his hand slipping back behind her again as he rubbed her back gently.

      He sat discussing details with Francois about purchasing some clothes for the ladies and more groceries, making internal lists.

      "Can I go into town with you Francois?!" Amelia cried which caused he and Francois to look at each other.

      "Miss Amelia..." he began, "It would be safer if you stayed here with Lady Freya and myself." he said as gently as possible.

      "But if Yvette leaves I'll have no one to play with." she protested and pouted angrily.

      "Lord Xander can play with you Lady Amelia." Francois stated, "He's the champion of Hide and Seek."

      He watched Amelia's eyes sparkle at the challenge, "I bet I can beat him!" she challenged herself, looking at her he smiled.

      "I bet you can't." he teased her which made Freya laugh causing a lovely tingle to go down his spine.

      After they ate Francois and Yvette left,  he saw Freya to the Study where she curled up with a book then he fell into his game of hide and seek with Amelia which in the end he inevitably let her win. He looked around the study one final time.

      "Where has Miss Amelia gone?" he wondered falsely then flopped down in the floor at Freya's feet, "I'm just so exhausted and I can't find her anywhere!" he called, more faking.

      Giggling she lunged around the chair Freya sat in and tackled him, pretending surprise he fell over into the floor and laughed only to be silenced by Freya's peals of laughter and her brightly smiling face. Just then he heard the front hall doors open and Francois and Yvette's voice echo loudly.

      "Let's go see what they have bubby Xander!" Amelia cried pulling at him which warmed his heart.

   Getting swiftly to his feet he hoisted Amelia on his shoulders and hurried to the front hall adding a little trot to his step; Freya's laugh followed him sending more pleasant shivers down his spine.
