Ileus: The Dark Prince

For two days Kaizan had scoured through the forest around the trade path but he didn't find a single rogue. When he returned back to the capital, he gave the report to the king. He reached his house, extremely tired. Olivia was sitting with Ookashi and Nate. The two would-be grandparents were thinking of constructing a nursery for their grandchildren. 

"Kaizan!" Ookashi said as she jumped from her place to hug her son. "Gods, you look… exhausted." 

Kaizan gave her a weak smile. "I am…" he replied as he hugged his mother back and inhaled her scent. She was a wonderful woman and he hoped that she changed her mind to become an immortal, but deep down he knew that she wouldn't, and the worst part—his father totally accepted her decision.

"Go take a bath," Ookashi said. "You stink worse than a pigsty!" 

He chuckled. His gaze went to his wife who was watching him warmly and he knew that she missed him. Gods above. He too missed her. 

"You really need to take a bath!" Olivia said as she pushed against his chest when he tried to press her and kiss her in their bedchamber. 

He let out a deep throaty laugh. "I missed you too." 

Olivia dragged him to the bathroom and after dumping him in the bathtub, she came out. She laid clothes for him and then ordered the servants to send food for him in the bedroom. She had missed him so much over the last two days that even she couldn't fathom her worries. All she wished every minute of the day was that he was safe. Kaizan came out of the bathtub in his birthday suit. 

"Kaizan!" she said as a flush rose in her cheeks. "What if the servants come in?" She rushed to the bathroom to get a towel for him, but he caught her in the middle and pulled her close to his chest. He gripped her waist in one arm in a vise-like grip and tipped her chin up curling his fingers beneath it. 

"So?" he asked as he brushed his lips along hers lightly, enough for her to feel heavy in her breasts. 

"So, you should be dressed," she said in a breathy voice. 

"I don't want to be dressed," he replied, his tongue licking the seam of her lips. 

"This is highly inappropriate," she murmured. 

"Is it then?" he pressed his lips on hers and with one hand pressed her butts against his. 

"Aren't you hungry?" 

"I am ravenous." 

His raging cock was so hard that she could feel it pulsate against the silk of her gown. He grazed her lips with his tongue and her lips parted for him. Without a delay, his tongue was inside her mouth, sweeping every corner with a moan. Olivia threaded her fingers in his damp hair and sucked on his tongue. He grinded his cock against her and she groaned. The knock on the door went unnoticed and so did the slight parting of the door. A squeal and giggle were all they heard and then the doors closed. 

Kaizan picked her up and made her lie on the bed. He tore her dress apart and it wasn't long before he positioned himself to her core and in one push, he was inside her. He began thrusting inside her wildly, until their bodies merged in a way that he didn't know where he started or where she ended. It was not long before he came inside her with a snarl against her neck.

"I am not sure what father thought of, but if I don't understand, then you are there with me, aren't you?" Kaizan said to Ileus as they looked at the disaster in front of them. It had been three days since he had returned. The soldiers were still scouting on the borders of the capital. 

"Always, Kaizan. But the thing is that I have only used magic for this kind of work. So, you have to work with me so that we actually make it through." 

Kaizan grimaced. "I don't think I will be able to understand it, and I am sure this will haunt my dreams." 

"Once you pick up the right piece, the next one would be simpler to fit." 

Kaizan looked at the sketch the carpenter had given them upside down. Then he turned it again to understand which part was drawn and resembled in three dimensions. "This is so fucked up!" His father had been working with a carpenter all this time and gifted Kaizan with a large wooden box which contained several wooden parts of what he said was going to be the crib, and not just one, but two cribs. And the worst part was that Nate had prohibited both of them from using magic to build the cribs. 

Already Darla had given all the old toys that her children played with to Olivia. Ookashi was into making socks and sweaters and more clothes one after the other. 

Now the parts were all scattered everywhere on the floor. Ileus said, "Maybe you should turn the direction of the sketch in right direction?" Ileus had come to talk to him about what was going on in the forest with the rogues but found himself entangled with… cribs. "And maybe you shouldn't have used your claws to dig everything out from the box!" He was annoyed with Kaizan for not being able to put it through. He didn't like failures. He was so tempted to use his magic, but he was sure that Kaizan would rat him out, and Ileus was in no way going to listen to a lecture from Nate as to how important it was to feel the things in a natural way rather than using magic. Gods, damn it! Then why was he born as a wizard? 

"Because you are a half werewolf too," Kaizn replied. 

Ileus shot him a dark glare. Damn his promised wolf for listening to his thoughts. 

"Look, Olivia is sleeping in the next room. I don't want to disturb her. Let us just finish this shit before she wakes up." Somehow Olivia had been sleeping like a baby bear in hibernation these days. Just yesterday she whined on how much she was eating. 

"I will get very fat at this rate," she had complained. 

"You should get fat, love," he said lovingly as he gave her a pastry in the middle of the night. 

Anastasia was also becoming tired running after the two boys, and so she was also sleeping a lot these days. That was the reason Ileus was free. 

Ileus picked up a rod and fitted it in another long rod. He eyed his creation and after a moment of silence asked, "Do you think this is all right?" 

Kaizan narrowed his eyes. He looked at the sketch and then nodded seriously. "This looks like a start." 

And the two began assembling the crib. Soon every piece fell into place and the two got really engrossed. As they worked, Ileus asked, "Have you thought of names?" 

Kaizan snapped his head up to stare at Ileus. Gods, damn it. He hadn't! "Do you have ideas?" 

Ileus raised his eyebrow.
