84. Normal Family Dinner. *

This was the happiest dinner we had yet.

Although the amount of people were..a lot. With Liz and her husband their boy whose name is Lance by the way, we had to bring chairs from our old house and push together several tables, to accommodate the 20 adults and 3 kids. As always our dinner was both peaceful and chaotic the same time.

" Tomorrow is a big day sweetheart. Granny making a cake for you and your father will bringing Ciren, you can introduce her to you friends.."

" Mother can I get a dog? "

" Huuh? ..a dog? "

She finished her juice first before going into further details.

" Kelos had one, but I want a small one.."

Luckily Zephyr was being plied with ale and conversation at the other end of the tables.

Is there a dog in the village without a home? Even if..they definitely not the puppy she's looking for..This is a headache..

" I..see what I can do sweetie. But, with so little time it m.."

" Get a black one. Kelso has a white."

She run to her grandmother and aunt to get spoiled and I was left with several problems now.

Demelza listened and smiled. " How you .."

" I don't know.."

We going to take it easy and let him know after tonight..he can't be angry during sex right?

" She really did become the village princess huh? Foreign Lords and little ladies come to her birthday plus the whole village is invited.."

Liz was simple and sweet but, spoken truth since we were ten years old.

" I know..damn it!! I'm not sure how much time we have...we all helping with the food and drinks. " - I just accept more work on top of work. " Oh no..drinks! We invited everyone and have nothing to serve them! "

I looked over at Zephyr and gained his attention after flailing around a little. He give a concerned smile but followed me outside.

" ..You wanna make ou..

" We have no drinks..and your daughter wants a puppy..a black one."

He looked up the sky for a second I thought he was praying..or just going to disappear.

" So?..no dirty stuff at all huh..ouchy. "

" Focus. " - with a well placed shoulder punch, I grabbed his shirt. " We need drinks for tomorrow, you invited everyone like we own this damn village. The food might me alright but we have no more...

" Shh shh...I'm all over it my love. "

He closed his arms around me and shut me up.

" Tomorrow since we both up early I start to make round trips like a mad man. The puppy? That's easy..Vincent has loads of them. I'm sure some even puppies..or at least close enough. I take care of it."

I smiled happily how fast he took these extra challenges in strides. So unfazed by it.

I kissed behind his ear on my toes show my appreciation. It didn't take long before started poking me..

" Zephyr.."

" What? Problems solved also ..I want it..you don't want it? "

How can you argue against such well thought out logic? I lifted my dress but had, too take down my underwear, I didn't have time to change yet and I like this one.

" 10 minutes? "

" 10 minutes! "

---

" Hey..brother you been gone for like an hour. Where were you? "

I slipped in mostly unnoticed about, five minutes earlier so to avoid those looks.

Only Demelza and Liz who noticed my panties in my hands and kept teasing me with suggestive looks.

" I ..it doesn't matter. Pour me some, I'm dying over here Alex! "

He sat and showed him his empty cup with a quick wink to me and asked for another.

He is being up for over forty hours, plus training, plus our own training..yet, I bet tonight he will ..

" Hello? Lylly!? "

Lizzy snapped her finger to wake me.

" I'm here..I'm back."

" I asked..didn't you just gave him some extra work and bad news? "

" I did..he just took it really well. Like, really well."

Demelza shared my mischievous smile being the one I talked to the most.

" I envy how spontaneous you two being. Tell me how do you keep him so interested? "

Honestly other than the underwear..I never really done anything. The roleplaying was all his.

We just went with..well I guess there is really not just one thing. It just kept happening because..we wanted it.

" No secret..if I want him or if he wants me, well we just do it. Although..as I said before. Our roleplaying does make it..better. "

" Even tonight..out there? What was it? " - Liz really wanted to know more.

I felt my face flushed and had to drink something before I gathered myself. What tell? And what not to tell?

" ..just some light spanking, and.."

I felt to embarrassed. It was one thing to insinuate things or talking about them in detail.

""..and??""

Before I could say anything I caught Zephyr narrowed gaze. It's like he knew!

Just to creep me out a little more..he visibly shook his head. Unbelievable..

" ..Master? so you don't want me help with the drinks?"

" No..of course I do. " - he turned back to Manata who were listening intently. "...I was just afraid for a second, imagined you spilling the whole God damn thing.. into the mud! ..so just be extra careful Manata. The repercussions could be ..devastating."

" Y-yes..I will."

" Big brother is right Mana..you need steady hands."

Lucian was as innocent as ever and Manata is going to be careful for the rest of his life, until Zephyr tells him otherwise.

Well if that's not proof then nothing is.

I looked back at the girls and tried my best 'I'm sorry' expression.

It was late by the time most left. Demelza and Alexander stayed the night. I put Anna down and tucked her in and headed back downstairs meeting Demelza in the pantry cheking jar after jar.

" Don't tell me..jam? " - I asked.

She turned around with a guilty expression.

" It sounded fun..you don't have any peach left. " - she answered.

" Well, I guess ..his favourite will do then."

I reached up and took a batch of apple jam made with cinnamon he loves.

" I thought you don't like apple jam? " - Demelza asked me as I was moving away.

" I don't, so I guess only he ..eats tonight. Sleep well. "

I run upstairs and ..well we did used all the jam. It was a sticky night.
