Rising from the Ashes

The things kids say

Chapter 17

Marcus’ pov

I don’t think I have ever been as happy as I am now. My dream girl who stole my heart all those years ago is now mine forever. She is wearing my mark for all to see that she is mine, and I can’t wait to show mine off and let everyone know I am hers.

The s*x was just absolutely mind blowing, I knew it had to be good, but it was so much more than what I ever imagined it to be and I can not wait to discover more things with her. I am glad I waited for her as nothing could have compared to this.

I was so embarrassed when the ring fell out. My mum and sisters all had a romantic proposal at the clearing, but me, I did it covered in sweat, naked and dishevelled. Not that Ginny cared she was just as happy to do it this way, I could feel her happiness when I asked her to be my wife.

The bath was amazing, I loved gently cleaning every inch of her body. Unfortunately, it caused a not so little problem to arise again. I didn’t want to hurt her again or tire her out too much, so I tried to keep little Marcus at bay. Ginny, or should I say Ash, had other ideas.

“I want you now” she purred at me, her voice desperate and her eyes glowing, I knew it was Ash straight away.

“Hey my beautiful fire, are you and Ginny not too sore for that?” I ask worrying about my girls.

“I heal quickly, and the potion helped, because I let it” she said firmly, sh.it I forgot phoenix’s were immune to magic, but I feel good that she trusts me enough to dull her defences down to let it help her.

“Well beautiful I would be happy to please you” I tell her as I lifted her up and leaned her against the wall.

Her legs naturally go around my waist, and I easily sink into her tight, warm walls. Hell, I could do this 24/7 she is so god damn sexy she has me hard with just a look. Ash is a complete firecracker just like her human.

As I pound into her so hard at one point, I am scared we may break down the damn wall. She claws my back, and it is sexy as fu.ck. I wish I could slow down my healing to keep the proof of our passion there forever.

It is almost like having two beloveds in one. They are both naturally sensual, but Ginny is more seductive and pliable, whereas Ash is a bit more raw and aggressive. I very much enjoy both sides of them, which is evident by how crazy they drive me with their bodies.

I am sweating so much by the time we have both released that I have to wash us both again. Ash stays around while I take care of her, and when the shower switches off, she gives me a peck on the lips before letting Ginny take over again.

I dry her off before drying myself off, placing her on the counter so she doesn’t move until I am finished and then I carry her back to bed laying down with her snuggled up in my arms. I stroke her luscious hair that I have always loved until her breathing evens out.

Staring at her in disbelief for a short while more, not quite able to believe that this is actually real, I kiss her head and let sleep take over my body. Happy and content at our mixed scents and the tingles relaxing me all over.

I am woken from my sleep eventually by Ginny squirming away from me. I groan out, not happy that she is leaving as she quickly tells me she is just away to pee. I hear the shower turn on, and I rush through there.

“Don’t bother, mister mumma Claudia doesn’t like us late for meals” she says while pointing her finger at me.

“A quickie, I can go really fast with my super speed” I say, pretty much whining and pouting at her. Her whole face softens, and and she chuckles, I move quickly, knowing I have won and have her pinned on the shower tiles in less than a second.

When I say a quickie, it really was, just three minutes, but by the end, Ginny couldn’t stand as her body was still shaking from the orgasm. By the time she got control of her legs, we were both grinning like idiots. God, I love this girl.

Everyone looked at us happily as we entered the room, and they saw us marked and the ring sitting proudly on her finger. We got congratulations and hugs from everyone. If I had known what my nephew was going to do, I wouldn’t have been as happy to see the rest of my family.

“Uncle Macus, are you not still sleepy after all the exwercise? Dad said you might miss bweak fas” he says, still struggling with some of his words as Ginny and I look at him confused.

“Why do you think Uncle Marcus was exercising?” Ginny asked him.

“Cause I wanted to see you, and all I heard was shouting. I asked daddy why you were cwapping and he said you were Macus’s tear lead, and were cwapping him cause he was doing good, and shout yes yes just like that Macus” I really wanted to gag him and I am sure both of us were scarlet.

Alaric, Hades, Grandma Calista, and a few others looked like they were going to pi.ss themselves, they were laughing so hard. I didn’t know where the hell to look. Ginny got over it before I did as she joined in the laughter.

“Yes sweetpea, Uncle Marcus is very strong and can do lots of push-ups and things, that’s why I have to cheer him on” she says, trying to sniffle her laugh.

“Will you be my tear lead too, Auntie Ginny, when I get big and stwong” he asks, lips pouting, fluttering those long eyelashes at my girl.

“Of course I will sweetpea” she replies kissing him on the nose, making him smile smugly at me, I can’t believe my nephew is trying to steal my girls attention, and he is winning, why are kids so damn cute, I will never get her to myself when he is around.

During the last question, Ezekiel and Lilith walk into the room with the twins, and they look confused at why Alec is needing a cheer leader. By the way, they burst out laughing. I am guessing Hades linked them and told them the story.

Alec is already on Ginny’s knee, wanting her help to eat, so Lilith and Ezekiel handed me my new niece and nephew. I have already eaten, and my girl is occupied, so I may as well get the chance to cuddle these two before someone steals them from me.

It gives the two of them a chance to eat as well. Lilith needs to keep her strength up, Cassie was more tired when she first started to feed the twins, they take a lot of energy out of their mothers for such little beings.

After we have eaten, mum takes the twins so Lilith and Ezekiel can go for a nap. Everyone wants to meet Ash as they haven’t seen her since Ginny’s first shift. I am also really excited to meet her, in her own skin, I am a bit jealous that my sister has been taken up by, and I haven’t.

Alec, I think, is the most excited because she is so special and there is only one other. Ginny gets everyone to stand back so they can see Ash in her full glory, as Cassie tries to explain that it is fire on her, but it doesn’t hurt Ginny only others.

As soon as she has circled around us a couple of times, she lands and removes her fire. She is even more stunning than Ember, and bigger having royal blood, and her feathers just look more vibrant. She nuzzles into me as I stroke her.

Not wanting to be left out, all I hear is “ooh so soft” from Alec as his voice sounds full of wonder. He was right over to her the second I was. Cassie's twins and Angel squeal and make grabby hands until she let’s them near they rub their cute little faces right in there.

“I wanna fly Ashy” Alec says, bouncing up and down like he has a trampoline under him.

“Only if someone goes with you” Cassie says as he gives me the big eyes.

“Come on then” I say, lifting him on and then getting on myself.

“Use your magic to keep him attached” Ash insists through our newly formed mind link. I quickly do as she asks, and she soars into the sky.

It is absolutely amazing, I have been on a dragon before when I was younger, but this is even better. Ash is more agile than a dragon, and I have to say I feel even more excited and safe because of the bond we share. She is also much softer to sit on and touch.

Alec is so disappointed when we get back on the ground, I think he would have stayed up there all day if we let him. Ash also takes up Mum, Cassie, and grandma Calista, the others are not sure about it and Alec has great fun calling them all ‘scaredy pants’, I may or may not have been responsible for that one.
