Worlds Collide: Chapter 36 Success

I was surprised by how long Esme allowed me to stay with my grandad. She was pretending to be engrossed in the books, but I caught her stealing glances at the kitchen and think she actually enjoyed seeing grandad work happily. As soon as I presented him with the tim tam, he began his analysis of it and started testing out different recipes, I helped for a while, but eventually I had to sneak away for a nap on the sofa. When I woke up I was offered a plate of large homemade biscuits and a cup of tea. Other than being bigger than the manufactured versions, which I’m not complaining about at all, grandad definitely nailed the recipe. I used the sleep deprived excuse to eat more than my fair share as an improvised brunch.
I was given the practical task of practicing my teleportation spells as a lesson today, which I’m pretty sure was Esme’s way of cutting me some slack as an apology for the mild torture she made me endure last night. She did however give me a timetable of lessons and reporting in schedules for the next 2 weeks which looked far from relaxed.
Of course there was only one place I was interested in teleporting to. I focused and recited the spell until I was standing in Juan’s bedroom.
He jumped when I appeared, making me laugh.
“Jeesh that is freaky, you just materialised out of nowhere. That is kind of creepy that witches can do that, any one of them could just be in your home in the blink of an eye.” Juan says justifying his startle reaction.
“Well then I guess you had better not get on the bad side of any witches.” I tease.
“I’m fucking the high priestess’s granddaughter, I’m pretty sure its too late for that” He says.
“Oh relax, I can protect you from her, so as long as you keep me …satisfied, it shouldn’t be a problem” I say stripping off and climbing into bed with him.
“I would never want to leave my princess unsatisfied.” He says kissing my neck.
“Well it has been a very long day and I actually probably need to sleep first.” I say through a yawn.
“Of course, you must have been up all night. How was your first day? What did your friends think of me?” He asks.
I laugh involuntarily realising I have to tell him. “Well I was not allowed to discuss the existence of this place, so we had to come up with a story to explain where I have been all this time and I may have, kind of, told them that you held me prisoner in your sex dungeon until we fell in love. Oh and I said that you were the only shifter of your kind so you had to live as a recluse for your own protection and you wouldn’t trust anyone to visit.” I explain apologetically.
“Surely there were simpler, more believable stories you could have told them?” He asks amused.
“Well true, but this is what mine and Lily’s brains came up with in the middle of the night when we should have been sleeping.” I say.
“So your Lily, she knows about us, the truth?” He asks.
“She does, but she is sworn by blood oath not to reveal anything” I say.
“What did she think of me? of us?” He asks nervously.
“Well I told her how I feel about you and so obviously she loves you, well at least she loves that I love you and that you make me happy. She did warn that as soon as she is able to she will grill you and threaten you terribly as a warning about not hurting me” I warn him.
“I look forward to meeting her and to convincing her that I could never harm your heart without first sacrificing my own.” He says sweetly, as he traces a heart on my chest.
“When I tell her that line, I think she will swoon. I have to be careful how much I say though, I think she is already planning our wedding and trying to coordinate the birth of her second child with our first.” I tease.
Juan tenses and I worry that I have gone too fast and freaked him out, until he starts kissing me again.
“You really should not talk about such things, if you don’t want to be made love to.” He warns, as he trails his kisses lower down my body, until he stops and is hovering his lips just above my clit.
“Well I suppose there are worse ways to be lulled to sleep” I concede.
He needs no further permission, ravaging my sensitive bud until I’m dripping wet and writhing beneath him. I’m fighting the exhaustion when I feel him thrusting inside of me and my whole body re-charges like its been struck with lightning. Every thrust sending sparks of pleasure shooting through my core until we are both completely satisfied and my energy is spent.
The next morning I wake up to the smell of a delicious breakfast, I try to identify it before I open my eyes and I guess it’s something fruity this time. When I pry my eyes open, rubbing the sleep dust out of them, I find the blueberry muffins on the bedside table and take one eagerly. I turn to look for their creator, only to be shocked to see Juan pacing in the corner of the room, dressed in an exquisite period looking suit. When he sees me sitting up, he stops pacing and walks towards me. I raise my eyebrow about to question his attire, when he drops down on to one knee and pulls out a small fabric box. I drop my muffin in shock at what this looks like.
“Rain, I know things are moving very fast, but I don’t want to slow down, I just want you. Now and forever. Will you marry me?” He asks opening the box to reveal a thin gold ring with a large oval diamond, bordered by 2 smaller diamond studs on either side. It is elegant and classy and very similar to ones I used to point out to Lily when we passed jewellery shops.
“Yes! I will! I mean how could I say no to such a handsome man who has bribed me with blueberry muffins.” I say, jumping out of bed to kiss him.
I can feel him smiling into the kiss, when we break apart, he pulls my hand up to place the ring on my finger, it fits perfectly.
“Its beautiful” I say, admiring the sparkle of the light hitting the diamond as he kisses my hand.
“It was my mothers. If it doesn’t fit or you would prefer another, I can change it.” He offers.
“No, I love it and it fits perfectly, see” I say wiggling my hand in his face.
“Of course it does. You are perfect.” He he says, scooping me up and back into bed.

If I had any other job, with any other boss, I would have skipped working spent the day in bed with my fiancé, wearing nothing but the ring he just put on my finger. Unfortunately, I know that the high priestess is not one to be kept waiting and I also know that she would not hesitate to teleport to me. Even with all the kinks I have and the lack of shame around my sexuality, I did not want my grandmother walking in on me tied up in Juan’s sex swing. Mostly because I want him to remain in one piece and of sound mind. So reluctantly, I leave and report to her. Before she has time to start ordering me around for the day, I hold up my hand to show her the ring and immediately request time off to celebrate, plan the wedding and actually have the wedding. She looks at me like the concept of annual leave is completely foreign to her and so I have to beg until she allows me one day a week free and a whole 2 weeks off for the wedding.
I go to my lessons happily after that, looking forward to my trip across the boundary later to be able to tell Lily the good news, and you know gather the information Esme requested. Its funny, I guess I’m not really thinking of this as a job, I get to see my family and my friends and of course my handsome future husband and all I have to do is gather information and report back, while my grandmother helps to provide structure to my life which is something I have always struggled with. It’s a win win situation for me really. I smile through my lessons, happy that things have all worked out for the best and my happily ever after is in sight.
