“Hello. I’m Eliza, a pleasure. Alphonse Crow, wasn’t it?” He nods,“Yes, ma’am.” He had a deep voice, with a strong deep south accent. At least he was polite. “Might I ask what this is regardin’? His majesty was a little light on the details.” She smirks,“Of course. We know you’re working for Sansom, and I have a suspicion that you don’t want to die.” He blinks,“That fucker? I’ll give you everything, if you’re gonna kill the bastard. Please, I’m only looking for someone. I’d heard he might know her, and by the Gods, I don’t have anywhere else to look. It’s been so long.” He takes off his hat, putting it on the table. And runs a hand over his head. Eliza narrows her eyes at him,“So, who are you looking for? Maybe I can help, I know a lot of people.” He nods,“A girl, well, a woman now I suppose, if she’s even alive. She’d be around thirty-six, I think. Orange eyes, sort of, dark-green around the edges, and orange in the middle. They glow, flickering gently.” Gods, he was looking for
“So, Celine showed me a couple of things, but the thing that made me sad was our mother’s deathbed.” Ash looks at Kai who frowns, but nods. “She wanted to prove that she could see my past. Even the bad bits we’d rather not share.” He sits down in the chair, too far away. She narrows her eyes and purses her lips. “It was as I remembered, but I was an observer, separate from my past self. Able to walk around the room.” Kai raises an eyebrow,“That sounds weird.” Ash nods, and rests his elbows on his knees and clasps his hands together,“It allowed me to remember details I hadn’t before. We were both wrapped up in our own grief so tightly that I couldn’t remember our mother’s last words to father.” He repeats them for Kai and Eliza. She looks at him, stunned. Kai puts a hand over his mouth, clearly having a moment. Ash looks sad, but also relieved, as if a weight has been lifted. He looks at Eliza, “We loved our mother, but it hit Seth so much harder than us. We had each other when our f
Ash chuckles,“Now then, Honey. Try that again and try not to phrase it as a question this time.” He thrusts hard into her making her gasp. Eliza cries out, almost shouting,“I love you, Ash! I love you, Kai! Gods, I love you both!” He feels his heart sing, and the purring from the both of them gets loud. Gods, his Mate, his woman loves him, loves them. Fuck, yes. He leans down, pressing her into the mattress with his body weight and kisses her, hard. She responds in kind, their tongues melting into each other. When he pulls back, she has tears streaming down her face. He slows for a moment,“Honey, those had better be happy tears…” She nods, grinning, “Good.” Kai takes her mouth next and Ash lifts himself off her again, to start again. He goes hard and fast. She’s soon gasping against Kai’s lips, he needs her to come, and soon. “Kai, a little help.” Kai slides his hand down to her clit and she moans. “I’m so close, I need you to come first my perfect Mate.” He puts a hand on her hip
Kai rejoins them, taking a seat on the bed to watch. Ash goes for a steady rhythm which has Eliza groaning loudly. Gods, the sounds she makes. She lets out a little whine and pants hard. She’s close. He picks up the pace, thrusting deep into her. She felt so good. He feels her pussy walls clenching at him and knows she’s there. She moans softly as she finishes. He slows to a stop. Pinned against the wall, she looks down at him, and sighs,“Yes, whatever it is Ash. Yes.” He smiles, lifting her again and walking back to the bed. He unseats her from his cock, and lets her stand. He turns her around and encourages her to bend at the waist and put her hands on the bed. She does so, and he strokes the skin of her back, tracing the sigil on the way. She shivers, and he slides his hands over her hips. He takes one back to position himself, then slides back into her with a firm thrust. “Fuck.” She gasps, he frowns,“Good, or bad?” She nods,“Very good, impeccable even. Please, do carry on.” He
Once they’re in her room, Eliza sags and sits on the bench just inside the door where she keeps her boots. Ash kneels quickly and removes the boots she has on for her. Kai goes to the bedroom and starts running her a bath. She groans and lets her head drop forwards.“Honey?” She gives him a thumbs up, but her eyes drift closed.“Just so done with Mason, and glad he’ll be dead by the end of the day. Now I have to face the Voodoo-Witch who in all likelihood knew my mother, and me when I was a baby.” She stands and goes to the photo that’s still sitting in the kitchen. She carefully removes the picture and shows it to Ash. He smiles at it, and strokes her baby face. “Check the back.” He takes a second to read the inscription, then looks at her,“Alphonse, like Alphonse Crow?” She shrugs,“I don’t know. There must be other Alphonse’s out there, but a Voodoo-Witch with the same name, my sigil having been put on me as a baby, definitive proof that someone named Alphonse took this photo of m
Dim gestures them over to his workstation and Dom nods to them, Dim picks up his latest invention,“I call it a ‘burrower’.” Eliza looks at the object he’s holding up. “It’s a little horrific, but I was inspired after learning about what Sansom did to you, and then Mason...” He looks at her and she puts a hand on his shoulder. Giving him a grateful look. Then she looks at the thing closer,“Okay, explain this thing.” It’s a small device, maybe six and a half inches total in length, and it looks a bit like a very angular metal octopus. It has eight legs, each about four inches long, that curl in spirals like corkscrews. In the centre underneath is a ring of ‘teeth’ that look incredibly sharp. The head of the thing has a singular button on it, that presumably turns it on. Dim smirks and nods,“Well, you put it on someone, and the legs corkscrew into the flesh holding it in place, then the bit underneath grinds the flesh underneath it, and it extends down.” He takes it from her and press
