The Trouble with Trouble

...is that it often starts out as fun...

*A.N: Just so you all aren't confused I'm opening this up to Yami's *limited* perspective. I only show Serenity's in "The Ostiary" but since it's a side story I'm bending the rules. Oh, and this chapter contains LEMON/LIME/CITRUS-Y GRAPHIC CONTENT: If you don't like, don't read! I'll separate where the lemon-lime mature stuff (vs. citrus) starts and ends with a "***"

Feeling her heart beat pick up once more, she bravely let her fingers drift down his lower abs and brush across the hem of his leather pants. Before she could go any further, the man she straddled stiffened and quickly gripped her exploring hand. Leaning back into the chair he regarded her with a stern expression.

"What?" Serenity asked in surprise, blushing slightly in embarrassment at her inexperience.

"That's not for you," Yami said his face softening and appearing slightly mirthful, "Virginal Queen."

Blinking twice in surprise, Serenity slowly drew back her wrist from Yami's halting hand. Darting her eyes away she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her position across the vampire's lap. Surely she hadn't misread this situation, he did in fact desire her, right? Or perhaps she had been embarrassingly mistaken. An inevitable hurt spread across her features as she turned her distraught face back toward his in question. Flinching at her expression, Yami wrapped his arms securely around her lower back.

"Serenity," he scolded softly, "that's not what I-" Yami's baritone voice paused as she turned away and squirmed in an attempt to take leave at the sound of impending thunder, but her captor's arms might have well have been iron shackles because she wasn't going anywhere. Piquing his eyebrows, he swiftly lifted one of his hands to cup her chin and guide her to face him. "You're angry with me."

"I am not a child." Serenity spat fierily. Her normally cool eyes flashed furiously when she was paid a soft chuckle in response.

"I'm surprised, especially after tonight's events, that you could accuse me of such a crime." He replied amusedly with a quick wink. Serenity's face heated as she looked upon the confounding man.

"Then why are you treating me like one now? I'm ninety-seven years old, you know…" She trailed.

"Ninety-seven," Yami repeated gently, moving his fingers to brush the soft blonde hair framing her face. "I had nearly forgotten how young you truly are, at least compared to myself. I almost feel guilty for indulging you in any pleasures of the flesh at all," he paused as a fanged smirk traveled across his face. "Almost." He reemphasized. Before Serenity could sputter a response the vampire's mouth connected smoothly with hers. His spicy scent assaulted her senses as all of her other feelings were overwhelmed by the man's commanding presence.

"I didn't intend to offend you," Yami breathed when he finally broke the kiss from her swollen and cherry red lips. "Though I'm admittedly not too familiar with fae ritual, I am aware of certain rules that should be abided by, especially concerning women of royal stature…such as yourself." He finished with a half-smile. Serenity stared upon him in a complete daze as the blood rushed back to her head.

"Rules?" She asked almost drunkenly. Yami cleared his throat and paused waiting for the petite blonde to catch his drift of thinking. "Oh-OH," Serenity understood as a slight blush flew across her face. "There aren't any rules, at least officially for what you're referring to."

"And this coming from the same woman who confided in me that an unsanctioned kiss was the most terrible thing she had ever partaken in?" Yami grinned as Serenity remembered telling him of allowing Seiya, another fairy, to kiss her years ago even though her parents hadn't approved their courtship.

"Uh, well-"

"It's strange," Yami interrupted as he focused his intensely red irises upon her. "The thought of you entertaining another man, let alone kissing one even if it was so long ago…" he paused as his eyes clouded over darkly. "Makes me feel so absurdly jealous." A shiver coursed through Serenity at the sound of his lowered voice. Her focus remained affixed to his shockingly colored orbs.

"Halfling pregnancies have always been considered taboo among my elders as it ultimately and eventually led to our race having to leave this world." Serenity whispered softly.

"Oh?" Yami rumbled from his chest. His mouth was parted slightly, as anticipation read across his visage.

"But you are a vampire," The fairy pointed out, "so that sort of scandal shouldn't be a problem because you can't-" Serenity paused as she felt the man beneath her stiffen. He lifted an eyebrow skeptically as his lips pursed into a thin line.

That hadn't sounded as brilliant as Serenity had hoped it would. Rehashing the words in her head she quickly realized that pointing out a defect in the man's virility was hardly the right tactic to convince Yami to forget his reservations about taking this rendezvous any further. Though truth be told regardless of mode of reproduction, which was very different in vampires compared to other beings, Yami aired sheer masculinity in every sense of the word.

But perhaps he was right. It would hardly be considered proper to sacrifice her purity to a man that was so wicked that he might have invented the term. And Serenity might have gone to bed that night only a slightly corrupted maiden if she had chosen a set of different words in parting.

"***"

"But I suppose you're not interested in me in such a way, after all." She assessed aloud, but before she could even attempt to finally wriggle away a sudden movement forcibly expelled the breath from her lungs.

Yami crushed Serenity's hips against his so abruptly that the fairy's senses had failed to register. Her previously tormented, albeit deliciously, lower half finally became acquainted with solid and stony evidence of the vampire's true enthrallment with the woman he held ensnared within his stalwart arms. Yami released a ragged breath as he rolled his pelvis upward, grinding the impressive swell agonizingly trapped within his leather trousers against the disrobed and vulnerable area betwixt her straddled limbs. A forceful bolt of excitement shot up Serenity's spine upon the sudden friction between them, but she barely mustered a whimper as the air fought to renter her surprised body. A lusty growl escaped from the vampire as he kept his fiery eyes fixed upon fae royal.

"Little fairy; so prim and perfect in every way," Yami rolled in a sharp hiss, "just an idle thought of your heavenliness sets my loins aflame in a fire so savage that it could devour me right down to my ancient bones." He mustered with a curved upper lip above his dagger-like teeth. "And I'd burn to ashes before causing you harm."

The four-thousand year old vampire muffled an irritated growl as the infatuating woman rolled her hips into his tightly bound member. Though he put forth a valiant effort to listen to her confounding words and jumbled thoughts, the feel of the heat from her luscious and readied arousal was far too distracting. He had tried to articulate it but there truthfully weren't words to describe how badly he pined for the young queen. Parting his lips to once again attempt to affirm that compromising her virginity wouldn't destroy any ceremonial fae convention, his body erupted in a shiver as Serenity once again pressed against him with an encouragingly soft cry. Yami's patience shattered as he responded by quickly standing from where he sat, scooping the petite woman along with him and claiming her mouth hungrily with his own.

Just as Serenity got a taste of his fevered tongue, the vertigo of free fall consumed her senses as she felt her back connect with the soft sheets of her once abandoned bed. A stray bolt of lightning shined through the bedroom's window sending Serenity quickly back to reality where she stared toward the monster her fairy ancestors and kin still feared to this very day hovering at her bedside. The vampire removed the remainder of his unfastened shirt allowing her a glimpse of a body with musculature so perfect it could have been chiseled from granite. But it was his eyes, shining in a demonic red upon her that hypnotized her attention. In a flash of movement Yami was no longer standing, but instead had his limbs perched on either side of where she lie as his haunting gaze burrowed into her sparkling blue depths. Serenity quivered when a fanged smirk flitted across his face.

"Though it may be true we both potentiate our races differently, I assure you all the anatomy is very much the same. A night spent under the affections of a vampire would be just as enjoyable as with one of your own. " Yami spoke coherently as he hovered just over her flawless face.

"Yami that's not-" Serenity's further speech was cut off with his urgent kiss. When Yami pulled away his smirk grew wider.

"Let me amend my previous statement," Yami purred as his eyes lit up mischievously, "going to bed with me can be rivaled by no other."

"That's rather arrogant," Serenity spoke teasingly. The tan skinned man responded with a devilish growl as he buried his wet kiss into the side of her neck. The pinned queen moaned and unconsciously bucked her hips to no gratification as he kneeled above her. Shifting his weight, Yami pulled the petite woman up against him so that he could easily slide the satin robe away from her milky white shoulders.

"This is alright?" He managed to articulate his doubts one last time before burying his attentions into the newly revealed flesh vigorously. Serenity's skin vibrated in elation as he seemed to know where to place each one of his attentive kisses. Though she knew without a doubt Yami was the furthest thing from being the Prince Charming she was supposedly destined to fall for, it didn't make any difference in what she desired.

"Y-yes!" She affirmed with conviction, much to Yami's now at ease delight.

After what seemed like an eternity of pleasant kissing and touches, with one fluid movement the ancient vampire easily liberated the short nightdress from the petite woman. Though the storm had quieted outside the manor a more furious one erupted within Yami as he quickly cast his eyes across the fairy's immaculate form. Serenity released a bout of small pants as her shining and golden hair splayed across the bed wildly. Immediately becoming conscious of his perusal she attempted to cover herself only to have her arms stopped by the incredibly spectacular specimen of a man in her bed.

With a possessive growl Yami turned his focus to her now exposed breasts, which were far too spectacular to be neglected for any longer, in his opinion. An immediate moan sounded from Serenity as he tended to them with lingering wet strokes against the soft pink flesh that stood erect to his gentle coaxing. The fairy's body reacted violently to the sensation as she simultaneously felt his fingers drifting down her hip, dangerously close to her throbbing sex that was once again whet with anticipation. She could stand to be under his painstakingly slow mercy no longer and raking her nails down his firm abdomen she reached past the hem of his tight fitting pants and wrapped her fingers around an incredibly rigid and warm appendage.

Yami shuttered above her as he jutted his head away from her body in a frenzy. A warning hiss sounded from his clenched teeth as he looked upon the exploring woman as if she had gone mad. Serenity froze as she ran her fingers along the pulsing column of flesh. Just judging by touch she could feel he was absolutely incredible in size; the tips of her forefinger and thumb just barely not meeting around his girth. Her dazed mind momentarily found this hilarious as it was only fitting that a man as villainous as he would be equally as monstrous in other areas. Just as a sliver of concern about the pain that might be involved in this activity drifted into her mind, her hand dropped away as he quickly removed the rest of his restrictive clothing.

"Worry not little queen," Yami's sultry voice assured, "I won't hurt you." Serenity gasped as she felt the pressure of his hardened length against her. "Trust me," he ordered with a smirk upon her uncertain gaze.

Jolts of electricity gushed throughout the blushing blonde as the vampire's sex fluidly melded with hers. A euphoric sigh escaped her parted lips as his overly generous size massaged her from the inside with every controlled and patient roll of his hips. Her skin tingled from the warmth his torso as she took in a deep breath and lifted her crystalline blue eyes to his face. The crimson eyed man expelled a gratified hum upon catching a glimpse of her hedonist seeking gaze.

Serenity looked on in awe upon the man's spectacular features. The pale moonlight shining through the window highlighted the hard lines of his sharp shoulders and the virile strength of his angled jaw line in a manner that would be forever burned into her memory. Amazed that his smooth thrusts only brought pleasure without pain upon her virgin entrance, something about her surroundings seemed false. The moon; had the storm dissipated so suddenly that the skies had cleared?

"This isn't real," Serenity breathed, noticing her voice sounded slightly distorted as if she were dreaming when she spoke. Yami chuckled and paused his movement.

"One's first time is painful at first, and I couldn't bear to cause you any pain, Serenity." He explained earning a soft moan from the fairy as he pushed his erection into her pleasure core.

"I don't want this to be artificial. No more tricks, no matter how pleasant they may be." Serenity mustered sincerely.

"As you wish, from now on it'll just be you and I," and just as the words rolled off a loud crash of thunder sent a chill rushing down her spine. A bright flash of the Eye of Horus quickly disappeared from Yami's forehead as he overwhelmed her with his larger form rocking back and forth within her. His incredible swell was slightly uncomfortable but relatively painless as he had successfully deceived her through the worst of the virgin pain.

The infamous vampire grit his teeth as her remarkably tight and velvet warmth left him begging for release. Her soft and exciting moans weren't helping matters as she lifted her hips encouragingly begging for greater force and speed. Always eager to please the angelic blonde he obliged her with a groan. Every fiber in his body was demanding him to ravage her to his needs, the slightest scent of virgin blood forcing him to unconsciously salivate for the precious substance flowing through her veins. Cursing himself for even internally acknowledging his weakness he scooped his arms around her back and quickly rolled their connected position. With his back against the tousled sheets, Serenity was quite surprised to be now straddled across him. Looking toward him confoundedly she blushed upon catching his awestruck orbs passing over her exposure.

"You must not realize how marvelous you truly are," Yami whispered, "because if you did you certainly wouldn't be here with me." Serenity found herself feeling similarly as she was now granted an even more desirable view of his godlike form in the dimly lit room. She was at a lack of words because without a moments more contemplation Yami rolled his hips upwards sending his erection directly into the spongy flesh that forced a familiar tension to build within her pelvis. Serenity 'eeped' as he continued his rhythmic movement; a smirk playing across his face as he took advantage of this new position. A light sheen of moisture formed on her skin as pressure continued to build in her abdomen, to the point where it almost seemed unbearable with each and every one of his thrusts.

Suddenly, she discovered her freedom of movement being no longer trapped beneath him and without any hesitation decided to take this situation into her own control. Quickly shifting her hips forward and backward to her own satisfaction a low growl escaped the man beneath her. His pupils dilated as she forcibly reached her climax with his assistance, and through bared fangs he achieved his own satisfaction with gratified roar.

"***"

Falling exhaustively to the bed below, Serenity drew in shallow breaths as normal sensations once again began to return to her petite body. The booming skies barely registered within her ears and she sighed when she felt an arm pull her into Yami's invitingly warm physique. Feeling immediately shy despite spending the majority of the night quite intimately with the mysterious man she moved her eyes from his muscular chest to his mirthful red gaze.

A loud clap of thunder jostled Serenity from her dazed and sleepy disposition as it suddenly dawned upon her that though Yami had successfully distracted her from fearing the storm, she would be left to deal with it on her own for its duration. She supposed she could ask him to stay with her but as a vampire he would be already forced to spend the daytime indoors and it would be ridiculous to request he sacrifice the remainder of his nighttime hours to appease her. His slight movement caught her attention as he straightened and pulled the once twisted ivory covers over them.

"It appears I've exhausted you. Go to sleep. I'll stay here with you until the sun rises." He responded to her troubled thoughts softly. All supposed dangers of the man who held her within his arms flooded away as she felt her body slowly relax.

"I don't want to be any trouble." She protested quietly, secretly reveling in the incredible feeling his presence left her with. He smirked.

"It's quite alright, your majesty, I cannot think of a single place I'd rather be." Yami reassured as Serenity's half lidded eyes fluttered shut. A genuine smile briefly played across his lips as he watched her silently, obsessing over every feature of her face and strand of spun golden hair. A soft murmur interrupted his silent praise.

"Serenity?"

"I love you." The slumbering girl muttered faintly. Yami's crimson orbs opened wide in astoundment.

In his thousands of years of existence he had countless times heard those three words uttered from the lips of the prey he seduced. And all of those women had been sorely and fatally mistaken. Surely they didn't love the creature he truly was: the one that tore out their throats and drank all of their blood once he was through with them, but instead" loved" the façade, the idea of a man, he had fooled them into believing. So naturally he rarely paid the profession with much regard but unlike all of those others, Serenity knew exactly what he was.

Desperately searching the fairy's thoughts he saw nothing but a quieted and sleeping mind. The vampire sighed as he was unable to confirm her true feelings, yet the simple words left him resonating with curiosity. Normally he wouldn't give the mindless whisper much credence, but much to his own realization he had never before now in all those times hearing it wanted those words to be real.

"Oh, little fairy," Yami whispered to the unconscious girl. "No harm will come to you. I swear it." Reaching his fingers to her face he gently brushed a few blonde strands away. "After all, whether you approve of it or not I can see no other acceptable solution to this association…" he continued as he brought her slender body against his with a victorious grin.

"You. Are. Mine."

Thank you to: Serena-hime, Saris Yui, Sesshy's Mistress, Krissy, Cosmic-lover, RoseMouto 2010, Sailor Genma, Sakura Waldorf, and Sister of the Pharaoh for reading and reviewing the last chapter!

First and foremost…I'm so sorry for disappearing! Work/school has been insanely busy! Over the past two months I've been to 5 different states and a different country (AH!). I'm finally grounded for a little while, (for now), so I thought I'd catch up on the stories that I had been unfortunately forced to neglect! After completing this, the long overdue update of the parent story to this "The Ostiary" will be next! (~60% done with writing it as of today.)

I wasn't crazy thrilled with this end. I actually found it challenging writing a sex scene and make it both exciting and romantic at the same time. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggested improvements!

Also, I had another idea (I've been going crazy with side stories, huh?) on doing another "mature" side story. So if I get good feedback on this one…I'll write that idea too!

Please read and review (and thank you for not hating me for taking so freaking long!)
