Bedtime

After dinner together, they played some kids games until Adrien got tired. Adrien looked up and reached out for Lily. He wanted her to carry him.

"Tired?" Lily asked, stroking the yawning Adrien over his soft curls. Adrien nodded. Lily gave him a kiss on the cheek and picked him up. Adrien instantly snuggled his face into Lily's warm neck and wrapped his little arms around her neck. Alexandre packed up the game, then followed Lily and Adrien into the bathroom.

Lily placed Adrien on a small stool in front of the sink and helped him to wash the chubby little hands. Then she handed his green toothbrush to the little toddler before placing a bit of toothpads on it. Adrien started brushing his teeth, then handed the brush to Lily so she could help him with the places he did not reach. Then she washed his face before the little guy jumped off the chair and walked to Alexandre.

Alexandre stood loosely in the doorway and watched the evening routine. "Ready?" He asked Adrien. Adrien nodded and rubbed his tired eyes. Alexandre handed his hand to the toddler and led him to the bed where the toddler's pajamas lay.

Meanwhile, Lily got ready for the bed, in the bathroom, and then scurried to Adrien's bed. Alexandre looked down grimly at his wife as she made herself comfortable under the covers. He had no wife, rather two children. How annoying. She slept in the little guy's bed every night and did not even think about sharing the bed with him.

"What are you looking for?" Lily then asked innocently, which annoyed him even more. Feeling unhappy with Lily's attitude, Alexandre was even more determined to change this circumstances. A mischievous smile played around his seductive lips. Before he opened the children's book and sat down on the bed.

"And suddendly, the monster cried ...." He began to read.

It took less than twenty minutes for Adrien to fall asleep. Alexandre closed the book, put the book down on the bedside table and turned on Adrien's night light.

Alexandre got up. Glanced at Lily, who was snuggling beside Adrien. "Good night." She murmured softly. But before she could react, he got up. Went to Lily with big steps and stood up next to her. An mysterious glint glimmered in his eyes. He leaned down to her. Then he put a hand under her back and closed his fingers around her waist. The other hand he pushed under her knee bends and lifted her up.

Terror was in her eyes. "What do you think you're doing? Put me down!"

He bent over to her. She felt his warm breath brush against her cheeks. A shiver ran down her spine.

"Shut up!" He whispered in her ear and looked down at the sleeping Adrien. He left the room with the stunned Lily in his arms. There was a glow in his eyes. Wild. Consuming. A glow in which one could lose oneself. In which Lily lost herself.

He entered a dark room, threw her in the middle of a bed, ran his hand through his dark hair, and stared down at her. His hair fell over his forehead.

He had her where he wanted her for weeks. Since the day he first laid his eyes on her. Slowly he opened his shirt. He looked more handsome and more humane then she had ever seen him.

"I guess I'm asking you to trust me?" He said, leaning down to her. She gasped and looked at him with wide eyes. Suddenly he was over her. He was so close to her that she could even smell his aftershave.

"Trust you?" Lily did not know what was happening. His closeness clouded her brain. Every thought seemed to blur before her eyes, to dissolve into smoke.

She tried to move away from him. But he held her, pulling her closer. There was a depth in his eyes. Eager. Hot.

Slowly as in slow motion his head sinks forward. Only millimeters separate them.

And then his lips were already at hers. Hot and greedy. He devoured her. He pressed gentle kisses on her lips. He knew he was home when his lips touched hers.
