Stew

Lilith

The cook, George, slid a bowl of stew in front of me. I bit my lower lip as I leaned off of Sebastian's shoulder. I took the bowl in my hands, sliding it towards me. Lilly hummed, as for once I didn't question if I should eat or not. I felt completely famished. Picking the spoon up, I brought it up to my lips to blow on it.

I heard Sebastian suck in a breath as I did so. Jesus, can this man not think about sex every minute? I chuckled to myself; I don't blame him. I know now why he constantly thinks about it. Lilly giggled.

"Aren't you glad you listened to me?" She taunted me as I put the spoon in my mouth. My shoulders slumped forward as I groaned from the soup touching my tongue. This was ten times better than that old inn's stew. I removed the spoon from my mouth as Sebastian and George stared at me.

"What..." I mumbled out as I took another bite. George let out a hearty laugh.

"Oh! I like her!" He continued to fill up bowls for the other guests.

"My mother and father always complain about his food." Sebastian laughed as he took a bite of his food. "You sounding like that means you like it." He smiled at me as I had the spoon hanging out of my mouth.

"Don't lie to her, you complained as well Sir!" He piped up as he shot Sebastian a mean look.

"I wouldn't have to complain if you didn't over salt the potatoes. How do you fuck up potatoes, by the way?" Sebastian flung his spoon at the man as he scoffed. George turned his nose up.

"You're a Prince, not a cook. My potatoes are fine." He slid the filled bowls on a platter, picking them up and turning to leave.

"His potatoes are fine Sebastian," I mocked as I pushed into him. I turned facing him, holding a potato in my spoon. I stuffed it in my mouth as I smiled. He hung his head low, laughing as he stuck his spoon back in his stew, bringing another bite to his mouth.

I finished my bowl, staring into the empty bottom. I sighed as I picked it up, taking it to the kitchen sink. I could feel Sebastian's eyes following me. I placed the bowl in the sink, turning toward him. I leaned on the counter as I crossed my arms across my chest.

"What?" I questioned as I raised a brow at him. He leaned back in his seat as his eyes ran up and down my body. The bite on my neck slowly started to burn, in a good way. I grabbed it, as I bit my lip.

"Stop it." I said as I furrowed my brows. He looked at me stunned.

"I feel like I can FEEL what you're thinking." I mumbled as I headed back to my seat.

"Oh?" He leaned on his elbows as he stared at me. I blushed as the heat from his mark intensified.

"Sebastian!" I shoved him, a little bit too hard, sending him flying to the floor. George stood in the doorway. He busted out laughing, slapping his knee as Sebastian pulled himself up off the floor.

"Yup! I like her!" He wiped a tear from his eye as he walked forward. Sebastian grumbled as he took his seat.

"I'm... so sorry." I whispered as I tried to hold back a giggle. I ended up snorting as I flung my head backwards laughing. George laughed alongside with me, bringing me a small cake like dessert.

"You earned this ma'am." He placed the sweet treat in front of me.

"You know I can have you fired," Sebastian grumbled.

"You? Fire me? HA! Good luck finding someone else." George snapped back.

"And you can't fire me..." I chimed in as I looked over at him. I pouted as I pushed my arms against my chest, making my breasts more prominent. He quickly snatched my chin in his hand as he loomed over me.

"No, but I can punish you," he growled as he leaned in. George smacked the counter with a spoon.

"No! Bad! If you're going to horndog up my kitchen, get out. Shoo!" He laughed as he flung water at Sebastian. All of us started laughing as he took his seat next to me. I cut the treat in front of me in half, offering the other half to him. He picked it up, and shoved it into my face.

"Hey!" I squealed as the frosting was smashed all over my face. I wiped some of it away with my thumb. I locked my gaze with him, placing it in my mouth and sucking on it.

"Stooooopppp..." He flung his head backwards. "Seriously, I don't need George to throw boiling soup at me."

"And I will! I have eyes on the back of my noggin!" He pointed to the back of his thinning hair as he cleaned the dishes in the sink. I laughed as I swiped the rest of the frosting off my face. I glanced around, then turned to Sebastian. I reached over, gliding my frosted finger over his mouth, then stuffed my finger into his face.

"I saw that! I won't throw boiling water at you, because I like you, but I will chuck a knife at Sebastian." He turned, wielding a knife. Sebastian grabbed me and ushered me out of the kitchen. I was laughing so hard I had to place my hands on my knees as he leaned against the wall. His laugh was warming. He seemed like he was genuinely enjoying himself.

He pushed off the wall, walking up behind me. He wrapped his hands around my waist as we laughed. I stood up, as he slowly stifled his chuckle, leaning his head against mine.

"Thank you... I needed that." I whispered, turning and planting a kiss on his cheek. I felt him stiffen up. He turned, pushing his forehead into my temple.

"See, not everything has to be about sex." I giggled as I stepped away from him. He huffed as he strode up next to me. The clock in the foyer chimed, letting us know it was 2pm.

"Let's head upstairs and relax?" He questioned as he looked down on me. I cocked a brow at him and tsked.

"Really? I don't think you'll let me relax. You said you would earlier and look what happened." I teased as I turned my nose up. He growled, grabbing me from behind as I playfully squealed.

"Lilith... Just relax with me, please?" He pushed his head against mine. I could feel that he just wanted to hold me and spend time with me. The feeling made my heart flutter. He didn't just want sex like I originally thought. I chewed my lip as I closed my eyes. I pressed my head into his softly.

"OK..." I whispered softly as he turned, hovering his lips next to my cheek. He planted a firm peck, then pulled away, releasing me. He reached down, grabbing my hand, and guided me up the stairs.

We stopped outside his room, he opened his door for me, stepping to the side. I thanked him as I entered. He came up behind me, grabbing the bedding and ripping it off.

"Gotta get fresh ones." He threw them outside into the hall as he closed the door. I hopped onto the bed, patting the mattress for him to join me. He took a seat, the bed dipped as he did so, causing me to tilt into him. He wrapped his arm around me, as he leaned his head on mine.

Lilly giggled as we sat there. The silence was nice, especially since I could hear his heart steadily beating. I closed my eyes as I inhaled his smell.

"Are those three questions up for play?" He blurted out, startling me. I sat up as I looked at him. My breath hitched as he turned to look at me. I chewed my lip, nodding slowly.
