*Aaron's POV*

"I'd prefer not to explain this more than once if I have to and without any interruptions please," I say. They all nod. "My siblings and I were abandoned by our mother when I was 9. We needed money for food and the basic bills that was due. Eventually, I thought of the idea of starting a small business of lemonade, cupcakes, and cookies, which grew to so much more very quickly. We began making a lot of profit, which allowed us to branch off into more business areas. The business continued to grow and expand. Eventually, we had enough accumulated money for my siblings, excluding myself, to come here in America and live a comfortably life, but not a spoiled-rotten life either. I stayed in England to go to Hogwarts, which everyone in this room already knows about, and to make the continuation of running the family business easier. I do try to come visit as often as I can, though. While I was alone and bored, I also created another underground, but minor, business which no one in the world has nor will have any idea of who owns it until much later in my life. Well, everyone not in this room and a few of the main faces of the company are exceptions, but that's really all who truly knows. The main business is still growing at this very moment. I can pull some favors and do whatever I want. Are there any questions?"

"Why tell us this now?" Emmett asks.

"Everyone in this room is a part of my makeshift family in someway or another," I say. "I won't keep secrets from my family."

"What all does your business cover?" Bella asks.

"Almost everything that has been created has come from it," I state. "There are a few branches that needs improving or filling in, though."

"Like what?" Esme asks.

"Well, I can't ever seem to keep a game tester, unique house designer, world wide private chef, private doctor, or competent and capable mechanic," I say. "I can always use a new fresh fashion designer, too." They all look at me before looking at each other and nodding.

"Can we take up those positions?" Carlisle asks.

"Actually, I planned on it," I say, smiling. Everyone begins to scatter all over the house, talking excitedly. I turn to Sev. "I could have us married in 2 weeks if you don't want to have a lengthy engagement."

"That absolutely sounds amazing, Aaron," he says. "The sooner it is the better. I don't want to wait to have to be called Severus Lefay." I pull him into a searing kiss. I pull out of the kiss and begin to nip at his ear.

"I love the sound of that name, too," I purr in his ear. "It sounds amazingly delectable and has a lovely ring to it, too." I begin to nip at his ear, again.

"Aaron," he whines. "Please no teasing." I chuckle and stop. I lean back against the couch.

"I'll have my assistant, Rachel, come to Forks and set it up for us," I say. "We can be married Friday evening as the sun is setting. Harry can stay here with the Cullens for that weekend. We can spend the weekend at an agreeable and discreet place all alone for the entire weekend up until Sunday evening. That is, if it's okay with everyone involved." He nods his head in agreement.

"That does sounds nice," he purrs. He pulls me into another kiss. "I love you so very much, Aaron." We stay cuddled up on the couch until dinner. After dinner is eaten, we give Rebecca and Rachel a bath and put them to bed. It was getting close to bedtime for the older 3 children, so Jasmine went to get ready for bed first. After she was done, Timothy got ready and went to bed, which was followed by Ian. Sev and I went to our room soon after them.

I magic our clothes into night pants. Sev yelps at the sensation. A chuckle escapes from my lips, which Sev scowls at me for. I give him a chaste kiss before getting into bed. He joins me in the bed after a few minutes. I pull him close to me and he snuggles into my side with his face buried into my neck. He relaxes into my touch instantly. I tighten my hold onto him and begin to fall into a light asleep. I could feel lips being lightly pressed against my neck. I open my left eye and look at my mate, lightly growling. He gives me an innocent look. I smirk at him.

"What are you wanting?" I ask.

"I want what you promised me earlier on our walk," he says. I growl at him.

"Gladly given, but definitely without an audience," I purr. I kiss his lips and move to get out of the bed. "I'll be back, darling." I peck his lips and leave the room. I go back to the living room. Jasper is gagging and Emmett is chuckling. "WiIl you all go out and hunt for the night." Everyone, except Emmett, nods their heads in agreement. All of them, except Emmett, left the house in a hurry.

"I'd rather stay here," Emmett pouts. I grab him by his throat.

"If you don't leave right now, I'll be throwing you so far away from this house that it will take a full day to find your way back," I snarl. He gulps, scared of me. I release him and he scurries out of the house. I go to the kitchen and grab a tub of neopolitean ice cream from the freezer and an ice cream scoop. Then, I race up the stairs and into our room.

I shut the door behind me and place plenty of wards. I slowly turn towards the bed to see my Severus nude and sprawled out on the bed for me. I quickly move towards the bed and crawl my way up to his lips. I place the ice cream and scoop on the nightstand.

I magic a pair of handcuffs into my hands. I slide Sev up the bed and move to put his hands between the metal bars that made up the headboard. I put the handcuffs on his hands. He raises his head to watch me. I slowly remove his pajama pants. Before I was able to do anything, there was a knock at the door, causing me to sigh. I make the handcuffs and ice cream scoop disappear while 2 spoons and a portable DVD player appear. I slide his pants back up and go to answer the door. I open it to see 2 policemen and my mother.

"Are you alright, baby?" she coos at me.

"I was fantastic until you all showed up," I state. "What's going on?"

"Your mother called saying you were at this residence and was being raped by an older man," the chief of police says. "Is this true, boy?"

"No, sir," I state. "At the moment, I'm here alone with a friend, my godson, some of my siblings, and my 2 nieces. Some more of my friends along with their parents will be back in a few hours, though." My mother's eyes lit up at that statement.

"May we take a look around?" he asks. I let them all in. I let the police look around and followed my mother into the kitchen.

"What is the meaning of this," I spat out.

"I just wanted to make sure he wasn't using my baby boy," she chides.

"You know that I can handle myself," I snarl. "I have been doing it since I was 9 years old since my mother left me and my 3 siblings to fend for ourselves."

"I know you won't when dealing with females," she said.

"No, I don't like roughing up females, but I will if they mess with my family," I state. "Just a reminder in case you get any ideas."

"It hurts to think that you think of me to do such a thing to my own children," she states.

"You've done it before and you always will continue to do so," I state. At that moment, the policemen come into the kitchen with Severus following them.

"Ms. Lefay, their is no one else here besides the people he says is here," the chief states. "We are not able to legally do anything else here, so we will be leaving now." With Severus following me, I walk everyone to the door, give them a goodbye, shut the door behind them, and lock the door. I turn around and pull Severus to me.

"Now, where exactly were we?" I growl out, attaching my lips to his neck. I shimmer us back up to the bedroom. I back us up until he hits the edge of the bed. I remove my lips and back away from him. He tries to pull me back towards him, but I don't move. "Lie down now." He slowly places himself onto the bed.

He leans back and props the top part of his body up onto his elbows to be able to watch me. While he's doing so, I magic his pajama pants off of him and conjure the pink, fluffy handcuffs and ice cream scoop into my hands. Sev yelps at the sudden coldness against his skin. I smile evilly before crawling onto the bed and up his body, so I'm sitting on his hips. I grab the tub of ice cream, remove the lid to see it not in the least bit melted, throw the lid back on the stand, gently sit the tub onto the bed beside me, and place the scoop into frozen deliciousness.

I ease him all the way down onto the bed before taking his hands into mine, raising them to the point of both hands being between the metal bars of the headboard, and handcuff them together. Before continuing, I look into Sev's eyes to make sure he's okay, which I find that he is. He's biting his lip, so I take my finger and release his lip from his teeth's hold. As soon as I do, he lets out a loud whimper.

"You need to use your words, darling," I purr, smirking down at him. I notice him trying to pull his hands free to no avail, his breathing getting very labored, and the nervousness in his eyes. I quickly undo the handcuffs, move the ice cream, and flip us. I hold him to my chest and rub his back soothingly until he calms down. "Severus, calm down. I need you to talk to me. I won't know how to exactly help you if you don't talk to me." He's silent for few minutes.

"I don't like my hands restricted like that," he says, softly. "It brings back bad memories."

"Then, it shall not happen after this very minute," I state. "I understand about having bad memories. My past haunts me, too. I know exactly what it's like to relive your past and how you might feel. I've been there, but I had to go through it alone. You don't have to either because you have me and I want to help you in any way I can." He nods his head in acceptance. "If you ever feel like this, I'm here for you. I'll listen to whatever you have to say without judging you. I'm even willing to just hold you while you cry your eyes out for a while. No matter what you need or are feeling, I'll be here for you for whatever you need."

"Thank you, Aaron," he whispers. "Do you want to know the bad memory."

"Only if you are up for telling me," I state. "I'm not gonna force you to tell me or anything if that's what you think." He shakes his head 'no' and looks down at the bed sheets.

"It's from my Death Eaters days," he sighs. "Apparently, I failed one of my missions and the Dark Lord decided that I needed punished. He told Lucius Malfoy and Fenrir Greyback what my punishment was to be. He let them put their own special touches to it according to the pair of them." He takes a deep breathe and holds it for a few seconds before releasing it.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I say, rubbing my hands soothingly against his back.

"Yes, I do," he say, looking into my eyes. "I don't want any secrets between us." I nod my head in acceptance and cover us up with the blanket. "They took me to a bedroom, forced me to into a stocks, where I was locked into it. Then, I h-had a space bar placed between my legs after that, so they were spread far apart. All of my clothes disappeared from my body. N-nipple clamps were placed upon my nipples. There was a whip that they used. It had glass or something embedded in it. One of them used it on my back while the other used a normal whip on my butt. I fell unconscious due to the amount of blood loss. When I woke up, one was inside me and another had his dick in my mouth. When he came, I was forced to swallow. After they were both done, they ripped some of my hair out and jerked the nipple clamps off." He begins sobbing again, trying to curl himself into a ball. I just hold him to me tightly and rub circles into his back until he calms down.

"Will you remove your glamours?" I ask. He looks up at me. "You don't have to, but I would like to see you without glamours at least once. I promise I won't laugh or get angry at you." He lets out a shuddering breathe before his appearance changes and he looks away from me.

Severus has gotten shorter and deathly skinny. A set of black cat ears are protruding from his head and a short black cat tail from his tailbone. There are scars all over his body and names carved by a knife in some places.

I pull him even closer to me and just hold him to me. He clings to my body tightly.

"I'm not going anywhere," I say, tilting his his head up and lovingly kiss him. "Let's just cuddle for tonight, okay,  kitten?" He nods his head in affirmation and presses his cold nose into my neck. I pull the covers up over us before pulling him as close as I can against me.  I lay my arm over his stomach,  holding him to me,  before we both drifted into a peaceful sleep.
