She wondered how long he would sleep in today. The light leaking through the crack in deep blue curtains played across his pale skin, through his platinum hair almost giving him an angelic appearance…almost.

His ethereal beauty could seduce women and men alike, demon and angel. The ice in his stare kept most at bay. You were either very fortunate or extremely ill-fated to cross paths with Vergil. Lady considered herself blessed. Well maybe not blessed, but fortune was definitely on her side. Most were not so lucky.

Carding her fingers lightly through his hair she pushed it away from his face. It didn't fall into its normal style, but off to the side covering one eye. She brushed her fingers across his forehead and down his cheek, lining his strong jawline. Reaching back up she tucked a silken strand of hair behind his ear. Damn, he was beautiful.

Gently, Lady traced the straight line of his aristocratic nose, causing him to twitch slightly. She smiled as he settled down then repeated it again. She giggled lightly when his nose ticked again. She let the tip of her fingers dance delicately over his lips. She flipped his bottom lip a couple of times before squealing when teeth caught one of her fingers.

"How long are you going to play with my face?" Vergil's gruff voice asked as he cracked open one eye.

Lady smacked him on the chest. "Jerk! How long have you been awake?"

He pulled her close, a small smirk graced his lips. "Long enough." Huffing she snuggled closer and nipped at his collarbone. Humming appreciatively Vergil tipped his chin up allowing her better access. "Someone is feisty this morning."

"Mmhmm. I think you put something in the water." She muttered leaving little bites and licks up the column of his neck.

"I'd like to think it was other things I was putting in you."

Smacking at his chest again he chuckled heartily as he tried to still her hands.

"You are such a cheeky bastard." Lady laughed with him delighted in the way he smiled and laughed freely. "Stop that."

"Stop what?" He quirked a brow, smile still spread across his perfect lips.

Lady had shifted so she was straddling him, leaning down, arms across his chest. "All this. It makes you ridiculously attractive."

He immediately pulled his mouth into a frown and scowled up at her. "Better?"

Now it was her turn to throw her head back and laugh. "Yes! There's the grump I've come to know." Vergil gave her a tiny smirk as she leaned down to kiss him. The press of their lips started languidly enough but soon escalated into something with more heat behind it. Their touches still deliberate and exploring.

Vergil rolled them over. "What would you like to do today?" He asked as he peppered kisses along her jaw and down her neck.

Her response was immediate. "You."

"Me?" He came back up to her lips, pecking them twice before taking her pouty lower lip between his teeth. "That can be arranged."

"I knew you could make that happen." Lady grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him back down to her awaiting parted lips.

There was a loud banging at the front door disturbing their peaceful world. Both groaned, however, Vergil made no effort to stop his trek down Lady's body.

The banging continued.

Lady sighed. "You know he's just going to continue knocking." Vergil grunted his agreement. Her fingers combed through his hair, she arched up into him as he kissed across her stomach.

The banging got louder.

"Vergil, make him go away." She whined and ruffled his hair. Laughing as he growled and then yelped as he bit her hip. Exiting the bed quickly he pulled on a pair of sleeper bottoms and took the top sheet.

"Hey!" Lady squawked as she sat up naked.

"You will not be needing this." He wadded up the sheet. "Once I get rid of him, I'm going to fuck you into that mattress and I can guarantee this will not be missed." Pushing his hair up off his face he threw open the bedroom door.

Stalking down the hallway he heard her holler after him, "I'm going to hold you to it!" Grinning devilishly, he narrowing his eyes, shredding the sheet with one clawed hand. Shoving five long strips of fabric in his pocket he tossed the remains on the floor. He approached the door as the banging began again.

Vergil opened the door wide enough to let Dante know he wasn't invited in. His face emotionless, gaze astonishingly bored. It was an expression only Vergil could perfect. He noted Dante looking him over and raised a brow indicating for him to get on with it.

"Can I come in?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"…"

"Are you finally getting laid?" When he received a deadpanned glare, Dante bounced up and down on his heels. "I knew it! Finally!"

Vergil made to close the door in his face when Dante put his hand on the door. "Hey, have you seen Lady?"

Vergil tilted his head in exasperation. "What makes you think I would have seen her, Dante? She would just assuredly put a bullet in my head than say two words to me."

"I was just wondering, I mean, stranger things have happened." Dante shrugged. "She hasn't answered any of my calls; I was getting a little nervous."

Vergil sighed and rolled his eyes. "If by some farfetched miracle I do see her, I will let her know you are concerned and to contact you post haste, hmm? Now, if you will excuse me, I am entertaining." Vergil shut the door as Dante opened his mouth for what was sure to be some sort of snide comment about his sexuality.

Heading back down the hall Vergil detoured to the kitchen. He gathered up a tray of fruit, cheese and bread along with two cups of tea and a straw. Strolling back into the bedroom he took in Lady's appearance. She looked refreshed. Good. She was going to be in that bed for a while, glad to have that out of the way. She lay on her stomach, knees bent, feet kicking languidly in the air. There was a pillow tucked under her arms as she flipped through a magazine. He had no idea where she found it. No matter.

Setting the tray on the dresser he took care of his own business before taking stock of everything he would need. Although, at the moment he wanted nothing more than to take advantage of that pin-up pose, pull her back and up on her knees fucking her into exhaustion. Or maybe diving between her legs, feet still in the air and have his way with her with his mouth. A much more suitable breakfast.

Instead, he simply crawled onto the bed, smacking one ass cheek while sinking his teeth into the other.

"Ow! Hey—Ow!" Playful arctic blue eyes looked up at her as she glared over her shoulder at him.

And he did it again.

"Vergil! Dammit!" He raised a brow at her, smirking as he nipped at the underside of her fleshy bottom again. "I'm going to fight you!"

"Ooooohhh, I wish you would." His voice low as he skulked over her nipping at her shoulder before kissing the side of her neck.

Lady craned her head back to reach his lips. "Your teeth are sharp, you know?"

"You haven't seen sharp yet my dear Lady."

"No and I don't think I want too." She pressed a finger to his lips and he bit it gently. "Not when your regular teeth can manage to do the job just fine."

"Well," He sat back, "That's not in the cards for today anyway." Lady was about to enquire what was in cards for today, when he quickly flipped her over and repositioned her towards the head of the bed, straddling her waist. "Mm, that's better."

"What are you thinking?" She ogled his naked torso and how his sleepers hung low on his hips. Lady reached to run her fingers across that delicious 'V' cut when his fingers intercepted hers slotting them together.

Bringing her hands up over her head he leaned into capture her lips in a brief kiss. "I'm thinking how delectable you would look tied to my headboard. "Reaching in his pocket he brandished one of the strips of fabric. Shaking it out, he began an intricate pattern around her forearms and wrists.

Lady watched him work, watched the muscles move under pale skin, when it dawned on her, "Are those from the sheet you took with you?"

"Mmhmm." He leaned up over her to run the fabric through a small ring at the middle of the headboard.

Looking up behind her she saw him knotting and checking the tie. "How have I never noticed that?"

"If you had, I would not be doing my job properly while you are in my bed." She leaned up and nipped at his stomach for his smart-ass comment. "Hey. Behave yourself." He glanced down and smirked at her pursed lips.

"Says the one currently tying me to the headboard."

He checked the knots around her wrist, delicate and beautiful against her lovely skin. "Does it hurt?" Lady shook her head. "Tell me if it does." It wasn't a request but she nodded anyway.

Giving her a quick kiss he slid off the bed to inspect his work. Legs tied or loose? Self-consciously she brought her knees up. Decision made, Vergil caressed the skin around her ankle before producing another swatch of fabric and tying it to the foot of the bed. Glancing up at her, "Still ok?" He reached for her other ankle, eyes not breaking contact until she answered.

"Yes."

After he finished securing her other leg he skimmed his fingers up her leg, leaving goose bumps in their wake. "Now, normally this would require some type of safe word ("Safe word?"), I don't think that will be necessary this time." Vergil smiled devilishly at her.

"Do I need to be worried?" Lady sucked in a breath at his hungry stare.

"No, you need to be pleasured." He slinked over her and licked at her lips pulling away she tries to lean up for more. "But first you need to eat."

Gathering the tray, he set it on the bed far enough away so it wouldn't spill but still within reach. Bringing the last swatch of fabric out of his pocket he folded it in half.

"And what are you going to do with that? I'm already not going anywhere." Lady squirmed a bit, anticipation getting the best of her.

"Close your eyes." She pouted a bit causing Vergil to smile. "Close your eyes, Lady. I won't leave you tied here alone. I promise."

"Now normally I would have some sort of snide comment about promises and devils—"

"But you like my promises."

"—but—I like your promises." She simpered. He lifted a brow expectantly and she closed her eyes.

Covering her eyes with the dark linen he straddled her waist again, "Lift you head. Ah-ah, no peaking."

"So mean." She muttered as he secured the tie at the back of her head.

"Yes, I'm the worst. Comfortable?"

Lady nodded and sighed. "I really thought we were just going to stay in bed and cuddle all day."

Vergil suppressed a laugh. He knew damn well that was not what she was hoping for, but he would play along.

Sliding down the bed he relaxed on top of her, making sure not to put his full weight on her. Resting his head on her chest he idly ran the tips of his fingers over her right breast. "This is quite nice. Is this what you were hoping for?"

Lady huffed, "You are such an ass."

"So you admit this is not what you wanted?" Lifting his head, he propped his chin in his hand, reaching for a piece of fruit with the other. Circling the berry around her nipple, he popped it into his mouth. Lady arched at the cool sensation. She bit her lip not giving him the satisfaction of admitting that no, cuddles were not what she had in mind. "Open your mouth." She hesitated. "Lady." Vergil's voice was light, yet still held a hint of a command. Opening her mouth, he rubbed a black berry across her lips before setting it on her tongue. She felt something drip on her chest and abdomen, quickly followed by the drag of his tongue over her heated flesh. Fingers traced along the seam of her lips, pulling one in, she could taste the sweet strawberry juice that lingered. Lady licked his fingers clean until he brought the next fruit to her lips.

Melon. Then a small piece of cheese. Followed by buttered bread. Then a chunk of pineapple. That, he chased with his tongue. Placing a grape in her mouth he muttered, "Don't choke." And dove between her legs. Swallowing the fruit hastily Lady moaned out his name. Damn/bless his cursed/heavenly mouth! Nipping at her inner thigh, "Still want to just cuddle?" Dipping between her folds he lapped lazily at her.

"No! Fuck cuddling!"

Vergil smirked then proceeded to work her over with his tongue. Lady trembled and moaned around him as he inserted two dexterous fingers inside her. The slow drag of his tongue combined with the slight curling of his fingers set her on fire. She whimpered and gasped his name. He drank it in, keeping her on edge and needy until she begged him for more.

Oh, he very much enjoyed her like this as she struggled against her bindings. Her chest heaving as she panted his name. Muscles tensing as she shook with pleasure. After he brought her to climax again he crawled up over her body, kissing and nipping along the way. Lifting the makeshift blindfold from her eyes, Lady blinked up at him. "Still with me?"

"Yes, you damn devil." She smirked.

Vergil snorted in amusement, "Resorting to pet names, now are we?"

"Only you would take that as a term of endearment."

"Well of course, there is a hint of truth behind it." He let the green of his devil eyes seep through for a moment.

She considered him as his eyes returned to their artic blue. "Are you actually going to have sex with me or are you just going to leave me tied to the bed all day?" Vergil pulled back on his knees as he continued to hover over her. His hair falling into his eyes. "Fix your hair, Dante." Her eyes glimmered with challenge.

He stared down at Lady expressionless, not rising to the bait. She was hardly in the position to demand anything. Raising up fully on his knees he pushed his hair back into place. "Well, I think you have just made that decision for me." He leaned over as if to kiss her, pulling the blindfold back over her eyes and leaving the bed.

"Oh Vergil, come on."

"So you know my name now?"

Lady could hear him fiddling around in the dresser. "You know I was teasing."

"Perhaps I should call Dante and tell him I found you."

"Ok now you're just being mean."

Suddenly he was over her again. "Am I? Oh, my sweet, sweet Lady." He skimmed his fingers over her abdomen and between her legs. She gasped as he plunged two fingers back into her slick heat. "I am cruel, aren't I?" His thumb applying just the right amount of pressure to her clit as his fingers moved inside her. She arched and squirmed under his touch. "To leave you here, unsatisfied and alone." With that he withdrew his fingers and inserted something cold and hard.

Lady let out a surprised gasp. "Vergil, what is tha—"and then he turned it on. With a sudden shout, she was brought back to the bring where she tittered before. "Vergil!"

"Mmm, yes." He scratched dull nails lightly over her thigh as he stood again. "You will do well to remember not to call me out my brother's name."

"You're not going to leave me here, are you?" Lady writhed. She was so close, yet so far away. He had set the vibrator to the lowest setting.

"Yes, I think I am."

"Vergil, please!"

"Now don't worry, I won't be going far. You just lay there and try to enjoy yourself."

Lady let out a frustrated growl and Vergil smirked as he closed the door. "Nnmph, damn devil!" She could tell he was in the bathroom when she heard the shower running.

Which he took his damn time in.

She had no idea how long she laid there on the brink of ecstasy with no release but she was just about at her wits end. Finally, she heard the door open and bit her lip to keep from flat out begging for his touch.

My, my. Don't you look delectable." Running his hand up the outside of her leg, she could feel the warmth from his shower. A small whimper escaped her lips. "Oh come now, you can do better than that." All it took was the slightest pressure to her swollen bud and she cried out his name shaking almost violently. "There we go." Turning the device off he set it to the side and began untying her legs. Deliberately he massaged up one then the other.

Sitting between her legs he reached up to remove the blindfold. Caressing her cheek, "Do you hate me?"

Lady kissed the inside of his wrist. A gesture he had done many times. "No. I feel like you could probably have done much worse." Vergil nodded sagely. "But, you're not done with me yet, are you?"

He looked down his nose at her. His wet hair sticking up on end. "Not by a long shot." Tilting his head, "However, we will have to ease you into what I have in store for you."

Lady's eyes opened wide, "Now?"

He palmed one of her breasts, then the other. "No, not today. Like I said, it will take some time."

"Do you have a sex dungeon in this house somewhere?"

He almost cracked a smile, almost. "No, I do not have a sex dungeon. And I do not wish for you to call me Master or Sir. Right now, we are going to work on word association. He rolled her nipple between his fingers applying a little bit of pain, but just enough to make it pleasurable. She breathed out his name. Bringing his mouth down on the other one, he sucked then bit pert bud not so gently. Lady arched into him and said his name again. "You are learning."

Vergil stroked down her sides, thumbing her hip bones. "How do you feel?"

She looked him over as he waited for her answer. His prominent erection stood ready, yet he ignored it. If Lady said she didn't want him right now, she knew he would respect that. His thumbs continued to rub small circles into her hips. Vergil's gaze, though heavy, was not expectant and gave nothing away. Lady wet her lips and flexed her fingers. "I'm good."

His hands went lower to the juncture of her thighs, still moving his thumbs languidly against her heated skin. "You'll stop me if you are not." Nodding, Vergil moved forward so Lady was now seated in his lap, her lower back bowed beautifully presenting herself to him. "What's my name?"

She looked up into his eyes as they burned for her. "Vergil" Lady moaned as he entered her completely. Vergil rolled his hips up into her as he splayed his hands over her abdomen.

"Feels good?"

"Mmmhmm"

"Say my name again." He gave a pointed shallow thrust.

"Vergil" She panted.

He shifted so he leaned over her, legs wrapped around his waist. Braced on one elbow, he cupped the side of her neck with his other hand. Rubbing his thumb over her bottom lop he stared at her mouth, "Say it." He commanded and snapped his hips. Lady groaned his name again. The sin of it sang low in his ears fueling him further.

Picking up the force of his thrust but not the speed, he leaned in and took her plump lower lip in his mouth, dragging it in his teeth. He bracketed his arms on either side of her head. "Again." She cried out his name again. And again. And again. Until her voice was shattered from it.

Both legs now over his shoulders Vergil fucked her with abandon. She had come undone twice more shouting his name like a mantra until she was incoherent. Stopping abruptly, he pulled out, letting her legs fall limply to the bed. Lady watched through a haze of spent desire as he took himself in his own hand, stroking slowly with a firm grip. Breathily he called to her, "Mary". She whimpered softly. "Say my name…please."

"Vergil"

Lady watched as he shuddered and gasped spilling out over his hand.

A few moments later Vergil wiped his hand on the sheet and started undoing Lady's bound arms. Rubbing feeling back into them as he went.

"That was a bit narcissistic don't you think?" She croaked appreciating the attention.

Vergil chuckled. "Perhaps." Continuing his after care, "I rather like the sound of my name on your succulent lips." He bent down to kiss her. "It does things to me."

Running a warm bath, he insisted she drink the tea and a glass of water before carrying her to the oversized basin. Sitting opposite her, he squeezed body wash onto a loofah and proceeded to gently wash her.

"You are so rotten." She purred and lazily flicked water his way.

"How so?"

"All that just so I wouldn't call you Dante's name again."

He stretched her leg out towards him. Taking her foot in hand he massaged over the arch. "It worked, didn't it?" Vergil pressed a kiss to the sole of her foot, then bit the pads of her toes.

"Jerk!" She cried out in surprise and then laughed, splashing him with water. "You are such a jerk!"

Chuckling lowly, he splashed her back, "Say my name again?"

"Shut up!"
