Jace's POV
erreMild Sexual Contents:
After we had our fun killing Lucas Gray we went back to the house and snuck in through the back as we could hear Jasper and Lilith laughing at a movie they were watching. We made our way to our bedroom and then into our bathroom and took a shower together so we could wash off all the blood that covered our bodies. It has been a while since we were alone together in an intimate setting and watching as the water cascaded down my mates perfect body I just couldn't help myself as I brought her close and captured her lips with mine as we moved as one. I pressed her against the cold tile wall making her gasp from the contact giving me the opportunity to explore her mouth with my tongue as we fought for dominance as neither one of us wanted to give it up.
We pulled away to catch our breath and I took the opportunity to make my way kissing down her jaw line and then down her neck making my way to her mark making her moan and clutch my shoulders pulling me even closer to her. I reached down and placed my hands on the underside of her thighs as I lifted them up and she wrapped them around my waist making my moan as my rock hard cock grazed her soaking wet entrance. I kissed her lips hard before I thrusted myself deep into her core making her cry out in pure pleasure we enjoyed and explored each other's bodies as we came again and again and again. After the fourth time we finished showering in cold water and got dressed before heading down stairs.
As we made our way downstairs we poked our heads into the living room to check on Jasper and Lilith to see how they were doing. We saw that they were fast asleep in each other's arms so Skylar and I decided to quietly go to the kitchen and make some food for everyone since we were hungry and figured they would be too. Once we finished making everything we brought all of our plates into the living room and placed them on the table as we woke Jasper and Lilith up for dinner. Everyone ate in peace as we watched The Princess and the Frog. After dinner I made some popcorn for everyone as we all gathered and cuddled on the king sized bed as we put Lilith's favorite Disney movie on Frozen. Sometime during the movie we all had passed out on the bed and I had gotten up to use the bathroom and get some water. I was listening in on everyone's heartbeats like I always do and I could tell by listening which heartbeat belonged to who. Jasper's always seem to beat a little faster as he no doubt was having nightmares about the night his twin brother was killed in front of him. Skylar's heartbeat was always a nice steady slow beat while she slept and would only pick up when she was either having a nightmare or a sex dream but judging by the slight whimpers lately they've been nightmares.
Lilith's heartbeats were always so strong before and then after everything that happened they started to become unpredictable. One night they would be strong and even and other they would be slower and more spread out and they were getting worse since the vampire attack as they were always slower then normal. Over the last while her heartbeats were getting slower and slower everyday and tonight they were so slow and spread apart I knew that she wasn't going to be waking up from her dreams tonight ever again
I sat on the bed watching my little girl as I slowly listened to her heartbeat slow and eventually stop. It broke my heart knowing that my little girl was gone forever but the little sliver of gratefulness I had was that she wasn't ever in any pain and that she was always surrounded by her family. I knew this was going to break Skylar so I decided to not wake her tonight but I let her be as she cuddled Lilith into her while she slept. In the morning I was sitting in the recliner when I heard Jasper wake up first, I watched as he stretched and then he noticed me and stopped while he listened and that's when he realized that Lilith was gone.
Jasper's heart broke into pieces as he headed outside for a run to grieve and so that he could give Skylar and I some alone time with Lilith before bringing her to the morgue and getting everything done and ready for her funeral. I decided to crawl into the bed where Jasper was and stared at my beautiful little girl who was now in that care of the Moon Goddess. I could see Skylar start to stir and eventually she woke up. After she cleared the sleep out of her eyes she looked at me and noticed the tears streaming down my face as I looked down at our baby girl. Realization dawned on her as she broke down completely as she held on tight to her dead little girl. I held them both in my arms as Skylar sobbed her heart out as she blamed herself for everything that had happened even though she knew it wasn't her fault and no one would ever blame her for it either.
I linked the doctor to come and bring her to the morgue while I made all the funeral arrangements for her. We decided to have a small ceremony for her with only immediate pack members and family so we contacted Lucy and Tate and told them and they came right away to help out. Skylar wanted to bury her under the cherry blossom tree in the garden and I agreed so we had a spot dug up and a priest to come and officiate it as we said our goodbyes and buried Lilith. After the ceremony and burial we all went to the house for dinner and some socializing as we found out that our beloved Lucy was pregnant with twins and they couldn't wait to find out what the gender's were so that they could start picking out names. A day of mourning and grief was also one of celebration of new and old life.
