Have a laugh

Anniversary // Lucas and Thalia

‘You think so?’ Lucas smirked, strutting up to Thalia and taking her in his arms. ‘Too bad I’m not actually Scottish.’ The wolf thought a moment, chuckling. ‘I gotta admit, it’s pretty comfortable. Quite freeing. Brings me back to ancient Greece.’ The wolf leaned down and kissed Thalia deeply. ‘So, should we take supper, or skip right to the good stuff, dear wife?’

Thalia grinned up at him as he pulled her close, then let out a small, wistful sigh. “Oh man, those were the days, huh? I miss Ancient Greece,” she said, a hint of nostalgia in her tone. She kissed him back all too happily, then laughed again. “Well, seeing as how you went through all the effort to get changed already, I don’t see why we should leave the room so soon.”

Lucas grinned; he had ensured that there was at least one secret tunnel before getting them the castle.

‘You’re on, babe.’ They pulled up to the castle, climbing out as their luggage was toted up to the front entrance. When they entered the opulent castle, they were greeted by a small staff consisting of some cooks and a maid. After brief hellos their luggage was taken to the master bedroom and they were guided through a brief tour of the castle. It was quite large, with a grand dining hall, a beautiful library, and a spacious courtyard. The master bedroom had a giant king-sized bed, with a beautiful canopy frame draped with luxuriant curtains.

The tour finished after a short time, and Lucas had already gone to the master bedroom. Yes, the flight had been long and he was tired, but there were more important things to attend to.

‘Are you ready for the Celtic thunder?’ Lucas called to Thalia from the bathroom. Before he even had an answer, the wolf-man appeared, clad only in a tartan kilt. He posed this way and that, flexing his muscles and showing off his tattooed body. ‘What do you think, lover? Good enough for you?’

Thalia was quite ecstatic as they were shown the castle and its grounds. It was like being back during the Dark Ages -- not the best time for Europe, but a memorable one nonetheless.

The redhead followed Lucas to the bedroom, half wondering if she could calm down enough to take a nap to take the edge off her jet lag, but as usual her husband had other plans. She turned, eyebrows raised, then burst out laughing as he strutted out in the kilt she had requested. Thalia gave him a round of applause, nodding as he flexed. “Eleven out of ten, no question. You’d win Mr. Scotland in my book any day,” she responded.

‘Where’s the fun if I tell you everything?’ Lucas chuckled. ‘But it’s definitely all of the above.’

It wasn’t long before they turned down a long driveway that took them up a small hill. The hill leveled out and at the end of the drive, surrounded by trees, stood a beautiful stone castle, towering and stately.

‘There it is,’ Lucas pointed out, ‘our castle.’

Thalia whistled low as she glued herself to the window, eyes wide as she took in the magnificent structure. “I’m gonna get so lost,” she whispered, excited beyond measure. “Okay, how much you wanna bet there’s at least one hidden tunnel?”

‘Try a sex castle,’ Lucas grinned, kissing her fiercely. ‘But that’s not all I have planned for us. We have a whole castle to ourselves, I have some hiking planned, all kinds of awesome stuff.’

Thalia laughed at that, the sound muffled against his lips. “What else? Are there hot springs? A buffet? Chocolate fountain? Dogs?” she asked, continuing to badger him and not liking the secrecy due to her excitement.

‘Of course,’ Lucas grinned, ‘there’s no way you’ll be seeing me in anything but a kilt during this whole trip.’

“Mmm, you do know the way to a girl’s heart,” Thalia said, leaning against him with a dramatic swooning noise. “What else is in store? Are you gonna lock me in a sex dungeon?”
