Welcome back for the seasonal special!

I need to do some housekeeping up here: Van belongs to Code Realize, I do not own him!

Sierra is my OC.

If that is the first time you have heard that name I strongly recommend you nip over and read "The Silver Lady" first! Its not required, but you will probably enjoy and understand the couple's backstories, history, and reactions much better if you do!

This is an slight AU and I am also very fond of tropes. There is your warning for that. Also note this is rated M for a reason. Caution is advised, and you are reading at your own risk. (That never stopped me, but hey fair warning...)

Chapter 1: Morning Light

The seasons were getting cooler…

A brisk cool wind tugged strongly on my wings as I sat on the rooftop in the weakening morning sun. My back was positioned firmly against the chimney as I took a sip of my hot mulled apple cider. I blushed softly as I enjoyed the warmingly-heavy taste of apple. As I partook in my guilty pleasure, my bright blue eyes gazed across the colorful landscape with contentment.

Autumn had finally arrived at the mansion.

A few vagrant leaves fluttered past me in the strong autumn breeze. Serenely, I watched the world wake up around me feeling content and at peace with the world in these early morning hours.

Right now the mansion was mostly empty. Saint had taken to traveling on and off. From what I understood the count was currently away on business. The last time I had heard from Saint was a letter telling me he would be home soon, probably before the harvest. However, I had not seen him or heard from him since then.

Lupin and Cardia had eloped to France for their honeymoon last week. The pair had just taken off and not said anything to me at all. The only reason I knew where they were at in the first place was a letter that Lupin had stashed in my room just before they had departed.

Fran's and Keres's clinic was doing well and it seemed the three sisters kept the young doctor quite busy. Keres laughed when I had asked her about it, it seemed that the youngest sister had developed quite an interest in Fran. Poor Fran had informed me in utter distress, that he had to install locks and bolts on all his doors and windows just to prevent her from sneaking into his room while he slept.

Impey had departed with Finis shortly after Lupin and Cardia had left the mansion. Apparently the pair planned on rebuilding Cardia's old home is Whales and wanted to do so while the newlyweds were away for their honeymoon.

Which had left just Van Helsing and me at the mansion unattended.

Being left alone didn't bother my hunter all that much, but it was starting to irritate me a bit. I missed my friends and the mansion was lonely when Van was away for work. The hunter's schedule was erratic and spontaneous at best, but it always had a lot of long hours. He worked most days from dawn until well after dusk, which left me alone by myself most days.

Because of Van's eccentric schedule, I had a developed a terrible tendency of falling asleep in the foyer waiting for him. I always woke up in my bed the next morning, so I knew he must have taken care of me...but it was difficult for me. With Van always being gone and away with work...it always felt like my other half was missing.

I had the feeling it was because we were not spending enough time together.

I was lost in my thoughts as the hunter I had been thinking about flung open the window below me and stared out of it moodily.

"I thought I asked you to wake me when you got up." Van scowled up at me as I smiled back down at him.

"Good morning, dear. You looked so tired I thought I would let you sleep."

Van's half awake eyes glared at me as a stray leaf blew past him on its way into his room. The hunter grabbed it as it flew by and tossed it back out the window moodily. "It wasn't my intention to spend my vacation sleeping."

I chuckled softly at his sour grumbling. "Haha...I was just watching the sunrise."

The hunter seemed dissatisfied with my response so I tried to remedy my mistake. "I was only waiting until it rose up a little higher and then I was going to come wake you."

Van propped his head up on the window sill and looked out at the garden, still trying to wake up properly.

The golds, reds, yellows, and oranges of the oncoming season were beautiful, but Van's gaze slid back up to the women sitting on the roof. The soldier was constantly in awe of her beauty, and he still had trouble believing she had chosen him. The wind playfully swept Sierra's long silver hair out behind her and she looked at the sky with longing and relish. The hunter grinned in his half awaken state, she couldn't begin to guess what she did to him when she looked that way.

I moved a tiny bit, just to see if Van was paying attention to me. The man's stern half-awake gaze changed as he locked onto me. The hunter's eyes quickly changed to assess my movements with cold hard calculations as I stood up and stretched on the rooftop.

"All right, all right. I'll come down. Stop looking at me like that."

Van flicked his gaze back out to the sunrise, now sufficiently awake. "You should come and get ready, we will be leaving soon."

I flew down and hovered outside the window. "Are we going somewhere?"

Van stopped leaning on the window sill and offered me his hand. I took it easily in mine and the hunter gracefully guided me inside.

"I wanted to go into town with you. I thought we could have a bit of a holiday." I blinked in confusion as he pulled me closer and kissed me. "I know you have been lonely without me around."

I brushed his long blond bangs to the side as he kissed me tenderly. "Mmmm…" I licked my bottom lip as we parted, enjoying the taste of him mixing with apples.

"...I have missed you, dear one." His whispered to me as I cuddled up to him. I snuggled up into his warmth and manly scent with sudden relish.

Van's gaze grew concerned as he wrapped his arms more securely around me. "...You're freezing." The hunter mentally made a note to pick Sierra up a sleeved jacket while they were in town next.

"I don't really feel cold…" I muttered under my breath as he held me close. I wasn't really going to complain about Van fussing over me. The hunter seemed to get the idea though as he began to kiss down my neck. His teeth occasionally grated on the tender skin and the hunter successfully coerced a sensual moan from me.

Van chuckled as he heard his women responding to his advances. "Though, if you prefer we don't need to go into town right now…"

Van chuckled softer as the angel leaned into him. Her actions only succeeded in encouraging his actions. The hunter felt her fingernails dig into his jacket as she melted into his embrace. Van's practiced hand drifted to the front of her jacket...

"We can catch the later train, if you prefer..." The hunter whispered to his angel huskily as his fingers began to unlatch the front buckles on her jacket.

"Train?!" Sierra pulled away from him in alarm. "You didn't say anything about a train ride!"

Van sighed as Sierra's worried blue eyes pleaded with his violet-blue ones. "...It's a short ride, we could go by car if you wish?"

She visibly paled at the idea of riding in a car. "...T-thaats not really any better."

Van leaned the women in his arms over and kissed the exposed skin on her chest. "I think you will enjoy the ride. I know you have been awaiting the color change. The route I had planned is one of the most desirable routes in all of England."

The man slowly licked his way back up Sierra's neck as the angel brought her leg up against his hip. The hunter grabbed her leg and held her in the intimate position with ease as he continued his explanation of his plans for the weekend in a low husky voice. "There is a festival in Oxford I thought we could enjoy this weekend, if your willing to tolerate the trip."

Van's hot eyes assessed Sierra's expression. The angel's eyes blue eyes were starting to fleck over with silver, the coloring promised him quite a bit more than just a train ride. The hunter smirked and knew instinctively what to do next. Van swept his angel off her feet with a quick and practiced movement and the hunter felt Sierra wrap her arms around his neck in response as she was lifted off the ground and into his arms.

I wrapped my arms around Van's neck with surprised eyes. Regardless of whatever his current objective was, it seemed like my hunter was more then willing to make up for all the time he had been spending away at work. I kissed his neck tenderly as he carried me across the room without much effort.

The hunter carried his precious burden with intent and carefully lay her down on his crisply made bed.

However, she didn't release her hold on his neck after he set her down. The hunter was forced to put his knee up on the bed with a smirk as this angel only succeeded in antagonizing him. It didn't appear that his lady had any intention of leaving his chambers anytime soon. The women in question wrapped her leg around him in retaliation and the hunter felt his shaft pulse in response.

"You are trouble." He growled down to her as she stared back up at him with big blue-silver eyes full of longing.

"...But I have missed you… You're always busy..." She pleaded at him as her gaze only grew more heated and demanding.

Van shook his head before forcing the women's arms above her head. The hunter then leaned over and pressed his lips to hers with force, keen on not letting the angel have the opportunity to finish her sentence. Van felt the angel's tongue teasing him as she trailed her tongue across his bottom lip seductively. The soldier pulled away from her kiss as he started to breath heavily. "I have the entire weekend off, dearest. I thought a holiday away from this lonely mansion would be of interest you."

Sierra growled as Van felt the angel buck her hips up to grind up against him. "...I would follow you anywhere, you need not ask..."

Van groaned softly at the contact and let her flip their positions. His narrow blue-violet eyes watched everything intently as he was enveloped in a cascade of silvery hair.

The bright silver-blue eyes stared down at him as his women straddled his hips. "...However, it does not appear that I am the only one invested in this right now…" The woman trailed her finger down his chest as her sultry gaze drifted down to the substantial bulge that was becoming clearly evident as Van's arousal only strengthened.

The hunter just shrugged as he toyed with a lock of her hair that had drifted across his face. "I never said I wasn't. I am asking if you are interested taking a trip with me for the weekend."

The angel leaned over him with intent. Her ample, unrestrained, bust was on full display as she came in to kiss him.

Van let his hand drift up to her head as he pulled her closer in order to kiss her more forcefully. The hunter also took advantage of the position to press her up against him more fully.

The angel felt what he was doing and rocked against him. The hunter was hard pressed to stifle his moan. It took Van a second to realize the angel was effectively distracting him while she worked on undoing the buttons of his uniform. Van's eyes narrowed at the keening women on top of him, as she continued to not answer him.

The last button fell off Van's undershirt and I blushed under his intense gaze as he studied me. I playfully danced my fingers over his unmarked chest and I quickly realized he had stopped moving.

"What?" I pulled back, worried I had done something wrong. "...Am I being too bold?"

Van blinked and couldn't help the smirk from creeping up onto his face. The hunter was unable to stop himself as he brought his arm up and dropped it over his eyes as he laughed. "Haha, are you being to bold...that's what your worried about?"

I bit my lip suddenly unsure of myself. "...Van..am I doing something wrong?"

Van's arm moved off his face, but he continued smirking. Still chuckling, the hunter pushed himself up into sitting position and tried to alleviate his angel's insecurities. "You're doing an exceedingly excellent job of seducing your boyfriend, but not at answering my question."

I looked away from Van's intense gaze blushing. I wasn't quite sure what he was asking. "I am sorry…what was the question again?"

Van kissed the center of her chest. His free hand pulled back her jacket and shirt just enough to expose her nipple. The hunter toyed with with tender red bud as he thought it over. "I suppose it is partially my fault, I am distract you."

Sierra gasped as Van toyed with her tit. The soldier used his strong fingers to stimulate the bud before lowering his head to tease it gently with his teeth. The angel rocked against him, her panting only getting worse as the hunter suckled her tit. Van was about to lose his self control as she moved against him, and the hunter was forced to pull her down in order to prevent the angel from continuing her own ministrations.

Red claw marks raked across his exposed torso in a wickedly tantalizing pain as she whimpered and strained against his forced constraint.

His name came out in breezy pants as he alternated between gentle biting and tender suckling.

"V-V-Van!"

Van switched to the other side, giving equal attention to her other breast, keen on keeping to his own pace.

Sierra realized the hunter wasn't responding to her pleas and she struggled with her growing need and heat in her body.

Van held the angel tightly against him as he continued to lick and bite softly on her tender nipples.

The angel was rendered helpless as the hunter continued to drive her crazy with his teasing foreplay. In the last few months, she had yet to figure out what triggered him, but as he forced her to stay still, she could clearly feel his need straining against her. The angel gave up on trying to resist the hunter's restraints and just proceeded to entwine her hands into the man's golden locks.

Van felt Sierra clamp down on his shoulder, hard. The hunter pulled away from her chest as he was caught up in the sudden feeling of Sierra's tantalizingly painful actions. The angel continued biting and sucking on his chest...The soldier had a fairly good idea that she would leave a decent bruise the way she was mauling him...but he smirked.

The marks would probably disappear shortly if he preformed his job correctly regardless.

Still, the hunter was finding it difficult to concentrate. Somehow, in his daze he managed to fully remove Sierra's jacket and shirt. The angel had moved only a few inches closer to his neck, but she still seemed intent on continuing to mark him. Van's gaze settled on the glowing blue angel mark that was permanently etched over his lover's heart. The hunter swiftly pressed his lips onto the center of the blazing blue cross and watched with interest as it pulsed in response to his actions.

The mark had sealed itself a deep navy blue the first time he had claimed her, but that didn't stop it from glowing whenever the hunter touched her. Van loved seeing it shine clearly on his lover's chest. It was somehow a reassuringly tangible proof to the battle-hardened hunter that she cared about him and this love he felt wasn't some kind of delusion.

I proceeded to make my way up Van's neckline, leaving a steady trail of deep indigo colored bruises across his chest and shoulder. I nuzzled him and then started to work my way up the hunter's well defined neck. After I reached his ear, I worked my way back down, tenderly kissing and licking the irritated and bruised skin. The love marks quickly dissipated due to the tender attention I gave them in order to heal them over.

As I was working on repairing the damage I had caused my lover, I felt my pants loosen and a hot hand slipped down against me.

"You're so wet…" Van hissed into his lover's ear as his hand slipped up against her center to start rubbing in slow circles.

"...Uhhh, I could take you now…" The hunter groaned as Sierra shuttered against him.

"Please, dear. I need you…" I whispered to him pleadingly as I took his earring in my lips and gently tugged on it.

Van groaned as the women panted heavily into his ear while pulling on his earring.

"Just a little longer…" The hunter purred as he slowly lay back down on the bed, pulling his angel down besides him as he did so. The angel followed him with a slight whimper. The soldier had stopped his ministrations in order to get her back down on the bed next to him.

The angel only begged him for more as he gazed into her fully silver eyes. "Ahh Van…please…"

Van wasn't sure how much more begging he could take, but the soldier knew he was quickly becoming frustrated with the remaining articles of clothing. Both his and her pants needed to go.

Now.

His first matter of business was hers. The hunter quickly shot a look at Sierra who only nodded to confirm his actions.

With the confirmation and assurance from his lover, the man used a single fluid motion to divest his angel of her offending garments. The hunter then took a second to bask in the glory of seeing his angel's pristine body in the weak morning light. No matter how many times he was blessed with seeing it, it would always be a mystery to him that this fine women had chosen to follow him above all others.

Sierra's face flushed as her desire overrode her modesty and her lover raked his heated gaze over her.

Van stood up and started to unbuckle his pants. As the hunter stood, the angel proceeded to watch his every move with hungry, need filled, eyes.

Van smirked as her hand drifted down to resume the stimulation he had left off.

The hunter finished unbuckling his belt and he slowly pulled out his hot throbbing shaft. Van's smirk only grew as he stoked it a few times in preparation as Sierra's hazy eyes took in the entirety of her lovers well defined physique.

"Look at what your doing to me." Van stroked it forcefully and a small pearl beaded up on the tip.

Sierra moaned at the sight. "Van…."

The hunter stoked it once more and knelt down over the angel as she whimpered in need. Van pulled her hand away and threaded it into his hair. "Patience love. I'll make you feel everything…" Van positioned his fingers at her entrance and rubbed back and forth just enough to tease. "Just relax."

There was a shutter under him and the hunter reached up with his free hand to grab her breast. The hunter's gaze softened as she overlay her hand with his. The man squeezed it gently as he let his tongue slipped over her center.

"VAN!" Sierra gasp as she tried to move away from him.

The hunter quickly forced the angel back down onto his bed with a firm hand on her stomach. The man growled, intent on not rushing things. He kissed the inside of the angel's thighs as he felt another shutter from his women. The angel gasp as the hunter resumed his licking and suckling at the very center of her being. After the first contact, it was less of a shock and it quickly turned more towards pleasure. Sierra let her free hand drift down back into his hair and Van started to take his queues from her.

The hunter licked and sucked and then, judging when the timing was right, he slowly slid one, then another, finger into her.

Sierra's panting was gradually increasing in volume, the way the angel bawled her hands up into his hair...all the signs indicated to Van, that he was doing something right. The hunter only continued to push his lover closer to the brink of release.

When the hunter judged that his women had been tormented enough, he pulled away from her and looked up at her with dark predatory eyes. The soldier pushed himself up and thrust the angel's legs apart in order to position himself just above her core.

"You are beautiful my dear…" Van's hand caressed the angel's cheek tenderly. The hunter wasn't entirely sure what he was seeing in his lover's eyes as the pure silver light completely overtook her.

Sierra reached up and forced Van down into a kiss as she moved up against him.

Van froze, half expected her to gasp as his slipped inside her sweet folds. The man shuttered involuntarily at the sensation as her walls contracted around him.

The hunter growled as Sierra invaded his mouth with passionate force and evident need. He pressed upwards pushing in slowly, and then he settled for a moment to let his women get used to the sensation of him being inside her. The angel gave up invading his mouth in order to slowly kiss him, it was her response to his deliberately slower actions.

Sierra's eyes flickered open as the hunter pulled completely out and then slowly re-entered her again.

The slow loving that the hunter was enforcing was driving the angel under him crazy.

"P- Please...more…" She begged him as the tears balled up in the corners of her eyes.

Van slid in a little further at her request and she whimpered into the kiss.

All the way in and then halfway out.

The hunter called the shots, teasing his lover, slowly taking her higher into a sweet bliss. The sounds the hunter was coercing from his angel was making him believe that he really was in heaven. Van grinned down as Sierra dug her nails into his back in order to get him to move faster.

As he pushed in all the way, the hunter felt the tension in her body building. The soldier leaned over and kissed the angel's ear softly before growling. "What is it you want from me, my dear?"

"I-I need you..." Sierra was about in tears as she pleaded with him.

The tension only built as the angel locked onto his lips with a force as Van's low voice sent his lover tumbling over the edge. "Then I'll give you everything I have."

The hunter felt her vice like grip in the most intimate way possible. Her insides pulled on him, milking him for his seed, and the soldier found he could not resist any longer. The soldier let go, releasing his hot seed into his lover, giving her exactly what she was begging for. The women in his arms moaned at his release and then kissed him in full passion.

Filled with the essence of her lover the angel was content and satisfied in the most intimate ways possible.

The soldier, now having been able to satisfy his angel's needs and passion for the time being, rolled over and pulled her into his arms in a tender embrace. The women nestled into him with a tired, yet, satisfied sigh.

The two lovers lay intertwined for a bit, and Van soon realized that Sierra had fallen asleep, nestled securely in his arms. The hunter looked down at the sleeping women and whispered. "I still don't know why, but I am happy you choose to follow me."

Van nestled his cheek against the top of the angel's hair for a few minutes and then slowly started to move to get up. The hunter was careful not to disturb the sleeping woman as he moved.

The hunter cleaned up and then started packing for the upcoming trip. The soldier frowned, guessing correctly, that Sierra hadn't been sleeping well since he had started working strange and, often late hours, but for some reason she never took him up on his half jesting offers to share a room.

The soldier marginally understood why she didn't, but he was looking forward to this trip almost solely for that reason.

Van finished packing both Sierra's and his bags and went to wake the angel on his bed up so she could get ready.
