The Hangover

They were so close, she could practically feel her bed beneath her as Romulus carried her into the courtyard. Rom chuckled softly at her answer, but it was understanding and shared. They both wanted the relief of a dark room and fluffy cushions. She sighed dreamily, but those warm fuzzy feelings drained from her whole body to leave behind frozen terror as she caught sight of her father racing down the stair.

There hadn’t ever been a moment in her life before this one that she hadn’t wanted to see her dad, but this was the one time she wished he hadn’t seen them. Her cheeks flushed bright red as she watched his expression change from dread and worry to obvious exasperation. The scent of wine and… everything else she and Rom had done last night, was heavy on them. There was no way Ulric didn’t realize exactly what they had been up to, and Lil was mortified. She couldn’t meet his eyes, her cheeks were blazing ruby just like her gaze as she tried to melt into Roman’s fur and just disappear completely.

She didn’t know what she was about experience with Ulric’s discovery, but it wasn’t his insistence they quickly get inside. Surprised she glanced up to her father, and she regretted it immensely. If Lil hadn’t been holding to Roman’s neck she would have covered her face with her paw to keep the shame from showing on her features. She shouldn’t have felt this way, what they’d done was the natural progression of their relationship. But maybe they’d skipped an important step. Lilith knew that Roman was her true love, her soul mate, the one she wanted to spend her life with.

Roman was looking, and feeling, much the same as she was as the timid pair slunk past the once alpha. He answered for both of them, with Lil giving her dad a very bashful look as they were told to get back to her room and he would bring them up supplies. They were quiet and Lil was somewhat mousey as they traversed the stair and made their way down the hallway to her room. Roman chuckled when they nearly reached the door. Mentioning all too lightheartedly that Ulric knew what they’d done.

"Ugh, don’t remind me.” She did cover her face that time. Why did her dad have to be right there, and now? With the hangover and everything it was the last things she wanted was her dad to know they snuck out to drink and have sex for the first time. She would have happily kept that secret for a little longer.

Rom carried her through the threshold and towards her plush bed, lowering her gently onto the plush surface. She made herself comfortable, snuggling into the blankets, furs, and pillows as Roman closed the curtains and made them a dark cave all their own. Despite the presence of her father still looming she felt so much better being in her bed. Always looking out for her Rom asked how she was doing as he returned to the bed and lowered his head next to hers. She grinned bashfully as her garnet eyes gazed into his liquid silver eyes.

"Better now that I’m here.” She told him, shifting slightly so her delicate pink tongue could kiss his dark nose. Lil’s body was still quite sore from the new ways she was using it, and her senses still sensitive from the hangover. Still, she felt more at ease, relaxed, and very happy to be back home with Roman at her side and not ended by her father when he found them. "How are you? You really didn’t have to carry me.” She smiled brighter, her gratefulness obvious in her sweet expression.
