№27|Sledding Day
●══════⋆☆⋆══════●

The next morning, Rosemary and Gillian both laid in bed completely satisfied. She watched as Gillian slept, his head nuzzled into the valley of her breast, her fingers played with his blonde hair.

She looked into the reflection of the mirror on the wall to see his mark on her neck, it was a jaguar with a rose in its mouth, she tapped her chin. I should get him breakfast as a thank you for last night.

She tried to wiggle out of his grasp but Gillian wasn’t having it. He grumbled and held her tighter, “stay…” he muttered.

“I’ll be back soon,” Rosemary kissed his forehead before leaving, replacing herself with a pillow in Gillian’s arms.

Gillian smiled, hugging the pillow as the scent of neroli and rose flowed through him, “so good…”

She grabbed one of his t-shirts, which fitted her like a dress, and looked into the mirror. Her eyes widened at the sight of an abundant amount of hickeys on her body, “damn…” she looked back at Gillian, “guess I should start getting used to having hickeys, huh?”

Gillian didn’t answer but his growl was answer enough to Rosemary. She put her hair up into a loose bun, her mark fully on display. She yawned, exiting her room and walking into the kitchen to see Eloise sipping on orange juice as Diane cooked breakfast.

“Hello Miss. Rosemary.” Eloise politely greeted. “Hey, Eloise,” she then stopped, realising that the little girl was actually here. She turned towards Diane, “how long has she been here?”

“Since last night, surprised you didn’t notice her when you and Gillian bursted in here making out.” Diane replied, flipping pancakes. “You mean...she heard us…?” Rosemary gasped. “Not all of it,” Diane poured Rosemary coffee, “just the stuff before you got into the room.”

“Oh my gods!” Rosemary clutched Eloise’s shoulders, “I’m so sorry, we didn’t know you were here.”

“It’s alright, Miss. Rosemary, Mistress, does stuff like that with men and women all the time. Granted it wasn’t as passionate as you and Giliian but the movements were the same. I didn’t see everything, all you two did was kiss, a lot.” Eloise explained.

“See,” Gabriella kissed Eloise’s cheek, “she’s fine.”

“I can't believe you made out in front of an 8 year old.” Sergio laughed. “Tio,” Rosemary whipped her head towards him, “When I was 7 and you and Mama were at a christmas party at my mother’s house. I was in my mom’s room watching cartoons with my headphone’s one and you and Mama brusted in and the-”

“And we didn’t do anything, nothing at all!” Sergio and Emma laughed nervously. “That’s what I thought.” Rosemary smirked. Marmalade examined her mark, “awe, you’re mark is beautiful.”

“Thanks,” Rosemary smiled, “although I could do without all the hickeys.”

“Oooh,” Cruella extended Rosemary’s arm, counting the hickeys, “4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Damn! There’s nine on just one arm!”

“There’s 12 on her left leg and 10 on her right.” Marmalade snicked, “never knew Gillian was so perverted.”

“Didn’t you hear them last night?” Matias sipped his coffee, “me and Eponine are in the room next to them and can I say; wow, ya’ll some kinky bitches.”

Eponine nodded, “and loud ones at that, seriously my mug of tea kept shaking like Jurassic park.”

“How much did you hear?” Rosemary blushed hard. “All of it.” the Golden Ruby Dragons responded. Rosemary buried her face in her arms, “I’m sorry...it’s just...Gillian was...wow!”

“Sounds like you really love him.” Saree ruffled her hair.

Rosemary felt Gillian’s arms around her waist, his head resting on her chin, “what are we talking about?”

“Your new mate.” Hex answered. Gillian laughed slightly, licking her mark, “I know your new to the whole mate thing but you shouldn’t leave a sleeping animalistic in your bed. Bad things can happen.”

Hex chuckled, “it’s true, I left to go get pancakes for Cruella and me, when I came back she was dressed up like a dominatrix with a whip saying she has to ‘punish me’.”

Cruella smiled wickedly, winking at Hex, “that was a fun morning.”

“It’s always the oldest that’s kinky.” Emmanuel held Marmalade in her lap. “What do you mean? We do that roleplay one day every month.” Marmalade reminded him. “You do?” Ector chuckled.

“Yeah, normally me and Emmanuel have regular sex, but each month on the 15th we have a Roleplay Day were we pick a scene or occupation to role play. Last month was dominatrix.” Marmalade explained, “it was so much fun.”

“May we please remember that an 8 year old is here with us?!”

“It’s alright, Miss. Diane, Mistress has a whole room marked B-D-S-M, I don't know what she means but a lot of weird sounds come from that room.” Eloise innocently explained. “Well, those words mean-” Diane glared at Emma, “they mean nothing.”

“Oki doki!” Eloise smiled brightly, Diane kissed the top of her head, “why don't you go get your coat? We have a break from the tournament today and we’re gonna spend it all with you.”

Eloise nodded and jumped down from her stool, running into Diane and Gabriella’s room. Everyone looked at Diane and Gabriella, “what?” they both asked. “Diane, Gabriella,” Emma began, “how are you gonna explain her disappearance to Helena?”

“Who said anything about her knowing Eloise is gone?” Gabriella countered, sipping her tea. “I’m pretty sure she’ll notice though.” Sergio warned. “And we’ll kindly explain to her that she can fuck off.” Diane said so simply.

“And here I thought angels didn’t curse.” Emmanuel laughed. “Well this angel does.” Diane winked, her focus turning towards Eloise as she walked out of Diane’s room with a winter coat on.

“So what are we doing?” Eloise asked. “I thought we could go sledding.” Diane suggested. “What’s sledding?” Eloise and the DeVille kids asked. “You don't know what sledding is?” their respective partners replied with another question.

“Nope.” Cruella shrugged, “sounds fun though.”

“So you’ve never gone sledding?” Emmanuel was honestly shocked, in all the years he’s known Marmalade, how could he have not taken her sledding?! “Not even once.” Marmalade replied.

“Okay, it’s settled, we’re all going sledding!” Hex announced as the group began to get ready for their sledding adventure.

☆═━┈┈━═☆

“What could possibly be the point of all this walking?!” Eponine groaned, lugging herself up the snowy hill. Matias extended his hand for Eponine to hold, helping up the hill, “cause when we get to the top we can slide down.”

“And to do it again we must face the treacherous act that is walking.” Eponine sighed, she looked up at Matias, “Matias~ can you be a dear and carry me?”

“Su-”

“Matias, I know she’s a princess but I’m pretty sure she can walk.” Sergio chuckled. Matias mouthed sorry, Eponine puffed up her cheeks slightly, soon deflating them, and smiled, “it’s alright.”

Once reaching the top of the hill, the DeVille kids were still confused on the topic of sledding, “I don't get it, you walk up a steep hill just to slide down for not even a full minute?” Marmalade cocked her head to the side.

“Yep, it’s fun, I promise.” Hex assured them, placing the sled on the snow. Hex sat on the sled, pulling Cruella down in his lap. “Alright, since this is your first time I’ll take care of the steering.”

“Okay.” Cruella nodded, she felt Hex’s arm wrap around her stomach. “Don't worry, trust your mate, I’m not gonna crash.” Hex chuckled.

“How did you-”

“Thanks to the mark you gave me, I can hear your thoughts and you can hear mine.” Hex kissed her cheek, “just relax and have fun.”

Hex’s head turned towards Emmanuel and Marmalade, who were in the same position as them on their sled, “wanna race?” Hex has a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“No! No, no, no! Last time you two raced you almost crashed the cars!” Marmalade scolded. “It’s fine, we have insurance, but Hex’s family owns an auto shop.” Emmanuel nodded.

“Loser has to buy the winner dinner.” Emmanuel wagered. “You’re on!” Hex and Emmanuel shook hands before the two slid down the hill.

At first, Marmalade had her eyes closed, the speed at which Emmanuel was going made her fear they would crash. Emmanuel laughed loudly, “come on, Marmalade, open your eyes, you’re missing the fun!”

Marmalade opened her eyes to see Emmanuel and her sliding down the hill, dodging the trees. Marmalade felt the snow whisk past her as they zoomed down the hill. She giggled, her lips forming into a grand smile.

“Go faster!” Marmalade cherred, Emmanuel pulled her in closer, “what happened to you being scared?”

“This is too much fun to be scared!” Marmalade took the reins, swerving through the trees before spotting a rock, she smirked and leaned forwards, “Marmalade!” Emmanuel yelled, Marmalade didn’t listen as the sled leaped high in the sky as it skidded off the rock, jumping over Cruella.

Upon impact, Marmalade and Emmanuel landed face first in the snow, “hahah!! Emmanuel, that was amazing!”

“I know!” Emmanuel exclaimed in agreement. He turned to his side to see Marmalade in her spotted leopard form, jumping in the snow, “you’re adorable.”

Marmalade licked his cheek, purring as she rolled in the snow. She crouched down in front of Emmanuel, waving her tail around, she meowed at him. “You wanna play?” Emmanuel sat up, Marmalade nodded, rubbed her face against his cheek.

Cruella and Hex watched as Marmalade and Emmanuel played in the snow, “they’re so cute!” Cruella gushed. “Snowball fight!” Hex yelled, throwing a snowball at Cruella.

“Oh your on!” Cruella got up from the snow, gathered some in her hands to throw at Hex’s face, “how’s that snow taste, babe?”

Hex tackled her to the ground, “not as good as you~”

As he tried to dive in for a kiss, Cruella blocked it with a snowball to the lips, “think sweet talk will stop me from beating you? Think again, Hexy~”

“My lips are numb now,” he kissed her lips, “but it’s worth it.”

Eloise rolled a ball of snow through the snow for it to get bigger, however, she tripped on a rock to fall into the snow ball, “ow…”

Eloise got up, dusting the snow off, “sorry…”

“For what?” Gabriella tilted her head, putting cole buttons on the snowman. “I ruined the bottom layer,” Eloise muttered. “It’s alright,” Diane crouched down, smiling at her as she stroked her cheek, “we can always make another one.”

“Why are you and Miss Gabriella so nice to me?” Eloise looked at the ground. “Because we care about you, Elly.” Gabriella replied, kissing her cheek. “But Mistress said nobody cares about me…” Eloise whimpered.

“Well she’s wrong,” Diane picked her up, “look around Elly, all of us care for you. Especially me and Gabriella.”

“But why?”

“Why do we care about you?”

“Yeah, Mistress said that nobody could care for someone like me.” Eloise frowned. “Stop calling her Mistress, she doesn't deserve it.” Diane gritted her teeth at the thought of all the horrible things Helena must have done to Eloise.

“But Mistress-”

“Eloise,” Gabriella began. “I mean Helena said that if I call her by her first name she wouldn't give me food. Not like she gives me much anyways…” Eloise stomach grumbled.

“You must be hungry, all you had this morning was orange juice, why didn’t you get some pancakes? Or at least some cereal.” Diane brushed strands of Eloise’s purple hair. “I didn’t eat because I thought the food was for you all, normally Helena leaves me the scraps her and her lovers from the night before didn’t eat.”

“The food was for everyone, including you.” Gabriella smiled. “M-Me too?” Eloise stuttered. “Yeah, you don't have to worry about us getting mad, we’re not Helena.” Diane assured her.

“Than-Thank you!” Eloise hugged both the women tightly, “thank you for today.”

“There you are!” Helena voice sounded winded as she ruining the sweet moment, “you made me walk up this stupid hill! In the snow!”

Eloise moved closer into Diane’s chest, one of Diane’s wings covering her, “I-I’m sor-sorry Mistress!”

“Oh you will be sorry!” She tried to pull Eloise away from Diane but Diane wings covered her. “Stay away from her!” Diane yelled, pushing Helena away. “Excuse me, she’s my slave, I control her, not you.” Helena reminded her.

“She’s her own person, she isn't owned by anyone.” Gabriella hissed. “Mind your business, Gabby.” Helena forcefully moved Diane’s wings, ripping some feathers off in the process, to grab Eloise by the hair.

“Do you know what time it is, Eloise?! It’s 1:00 pm! I should have been with my lovers but no! Instead, I’m out here with you in the fucking snow!” Helena dragged her through the snow.

Gabriella tried to follow Helena but she blasted her back, “stay away from Eloise!” Gabriella shouted. “Ha! Yeah, sure, why don't you stop worrying about Eloise and worry about your girlfriend’s wings.” Helena cackled, walking off with Eloise.

Gabriella helped Diane up, she tried to fly but the top of her wings were bent, “you alright?” Gabriella asked. Diane sighed, shaking her head, “no, but, Eloise needs us!”

“Woah, woah, woah,” Gabriella held Diane back, “you can't fly, Helena is probably long gone by now and we can't cause violence cause we’re the guest team.”

“But-”

“Don't worry, tomorrow, we’ll get Eloise back, I promise you.”
