Straight on Til' Morning; Book 4 of the Love is Weakness(Carlos De Vil) series

Songbird

While Harry and Hartley were gone, the VKs finally relented and took the little VKs outside, as they were complaining they were bored and the twins had started trying to steal all of Evie's jewelry.

Carlos and Raven remained inside, for her safety.

"This sucks, Isle Boy!" Raven whined.

"Yeah, Black Bird--it kind of does." He grumbled, in agreement.

"We're supposed to be enjoying the cause and showing the kids around Auradon, not hiding in a castle." She continued.

Carlos nodded.

"Hey, Black Bird?" Carlos spoke, with a twinkle in his eye, "Look over there."

He pointed to a large black piano, in the corner of the sitting room.

Raven couldn't believe she hadn't noticed it until now.

"Come on...come and play with me." She drawled, with a seductive tone.

"Oh, don't say it like that, you little tease." He groaned, "It's not fair."  Carlos shook his head, as his mouth turned up into a smile.

Raven took his hand and he laughed at the Pixie. She pulled him, begrudgingly to the piano.

"Raven, I don't...I don't know how." He protested, still laughing.

"Well, then I'll guide you." She continued her seductive and teasing tone.

Carlos shivered at the familiar intimate words.

"You are truly evil." He whispered to her.

"You love it." She giggled.

She placed Carlos' hands on the piano and laid her hands over them.

Raven started to play using Carlos' fingers to touch the keys. The tune was soft and sweet. The entire process was innocent, but at the same time it was erotic. He felt her smooth fingers tickle his own as she made the instrument hum the most sensual notes.

His breathing began to quicken as he stared at her eyes concentrating on the keys, her lips formed in a mischievous smile. She blinked slowly, and when she opened her eyes again they were set on him, and jeweled with intention.

Carlos couldn't wait anymore, he leaned in and kissed her, as she abruptly stopped playing. He grabbed her cheeks and pulled her closer. She swung her legs over his lap, and they continued to taste one another. They relished the swirling scents of flowers and honey, and sandalwood and leather. He raised her arm to his lips, and kissed down to her wrist. He sunk his teeth onto it, softly, causing Raven to bite her lower lip, and wince slightly. Her breath releasing in a wispy purr. Carlos moved to her neck and swiped away her platinum hair, kissing along her collar bone to her bare shoulder. Raven began to breathe heavily in anticipation. Their fingers curling in each other's hair, until Carlos' hands landed on her waist pressing her tightly against him. Carlos continued to aggressively kiss and nip. Soft growls escaping his throat, wanting so badly to move lower... and explore her further.

"Isle Boy." She whispered.

"Black Bird." He moaned lowly, in response.

"No, baby...we have an audience." She clarified, quickly.

Carlos abruptly stopped and looked up towards the patio door. Standing and staring at the couple were three VKs, an AK, The King of Auradon, and four little VKs.

"Guys, seriously? There's little villains present." Scolded Jay, breaking the awkward silence.

"There wasn't, like five seconds ago." Carlos muttered, in frustration.

"The kids heard the music, they never heard a piano before."  Explained Evie, apologetically, "It came with the castle, I never learned to play it."

"Can you play something, Rae?" Suggested Ben, ignoring Carlos' glare.

Raven let out a sigh, blowing a strand of hair off of her forehead, shaking off the intimate moment.

She looked to Carlos. He put up his arms in surrender and nodded at her, giving up. He dropped his forehead onto her shoulder, dramatically pretending to cry.  Raven chuckled at his frustration and kissed the top of his head. He quickly sat up, and attempted to keep a straight face, but her laughter proved too contagious. They both blushed, thinking of the stolen moment and the awkward interruption. Raven finally composed herself, and played the tune she had begun to share with Carlos.

After the intro, she started to sing--looking directly at her boyfriend, her face shining with adoration.

For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right.

To you, I'll give the world,
To you, I'll never be cold,
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you it's alright.
I know it's right.

And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before,

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Oooh...oh...oh..oooh...oh

And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.

And the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before,
Like never before, like never before.

The Song is: Song Bird, By Fleetwood Mac; This version as sung by Naya Rivera. Rest in Peace beautiful girl.

The little VKs started to clap excitedly. The older VKs, followed suit.

Raven blushed, and couldn't help but smile nervouly. But, she gave them a small bow of her head.

"I think that's your best one yet." Gushed Carlos, beaming at his girlfriend and giving her a chaste kiss.

"Girl! You can really sing!" said Jay.

"Yeah she can!" Added Mal.

"Yeah, yeah--she's perfect in every way." Drawled a sweet, sarcastic voice at the window.

Carlos stood up protectively, but soon realized it was Harry and Hartley returning.

"Guys, we have a problem." Hartley continued.
