Love is a Sweet Poison

"You do not contain a cruel bone in your body, and you will not like what is going to happen, but I am glad that you are agreeing to this." Sachi reached over and moved Amelia's hair and blew on her face from the light breeze.

"Don't worry. I do not plan on letting the clients suffer. I'm sure that they will come to our hospital. Furthermore, I will not turn them away." Gabriel was holding his head up with his arm looking down at her. 

Edna got up and came over to the trio. "How are you feeling Amelia?" 

"Mother, I rested, so I feel a lot better. I didn't blackout if that is what you were concerned about. I think that has passed." Amelia smiled up at her. 

"I am glad to hear that. We will take good care of you. I'm so happy that my family is finally all together once again." Edna bent down and patted Amelia on the cheek.

"Thank you, Mother. I am really happy that I made it into your family. Gabriel has been so amazing to me and I can't wait to be a part of the Saito family." Amelia placed her hand on Edna's. "The children are going to wear themselves out." 

Edna starts laughing, "Well after you gave them that gift they haven't stopped. You did a great job on getting them something fun." 

Amelia nodded and looked up at Gabriel who was staring at her lovingly. "Are you having a good time? I get the feeling that you have not left my side since I fell asleep."

"That is because I didn't leave your side. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to move you but I wanted to stay close to you. You are my world and I will do everything that I can to help you. It is time for your afternoon dose now." Gabriel was holding up the powder package.

Amelia reaches for the package and Gabriel pulls his hand away so that it is slightly out of her reach. She pouts and sighs, then she kisses his cheek then takes the powder while he is distracted. She unfolds the medicine and pours it in her mouth shivering from the taste. Amelia took the cup that Sachi had been holding out to her and drank the water before handing the cup back. "Thank you."

Sachi smiled and waved at her. "It is not a big deal. I would gladly give you more if that was what you needed. You always drink something after taking the powders." 

Ami ran to their side with big smiles. "I haven't had that much fun in a while." 

"Break time?" Edna smiles while asking.

"I think that the children are done now. Both of them are low on energy and are tired." Ami smiled widely and sat down slightly tired. 

Ami laughed and took the water that Sachi offered her. She chugged it then laughed. "I am but it was sooo much fun. Children have so much energy to burn off and if you run them around then they will sleep better at night." 

"Speaking on that point. I will be heading back to the house with Suzuka, the children, Kuma, Sara, and Miyuki. I will send Miyuki back up here once she and Sara finish cleaning all this up. We do not want to leave this in nature and face the wrath of the Goddess of the Mountain." Edna gets up and picks up Mayumi. "See you later at the house." On that note, everyone that was sitting there got up and started to clean up but left the blanket.

Gabriel watched as the others started to leave then pulled Amelia back into his embrace. "Well that was a fun afternoon."

Sachi laughed and looked at Ami. "We should be getting back home now. Father will be expecting me, and I am sure that is the same for Ami's father. We will leave you two lovebirds here and walk down with Miyuki when she comes back for the next items." 

Ami nodded her head. "Yes, I only told Father that I would only be gone for a night but that is okay. I will help carry something down that way it will be down twice as fast." Ami stood up and helped clean some things up to carry them down. 

"Thank you for coming over. I was really happy to spend time with both of you. Please come visit me again." Amelia was resting in Gabriel's embrace and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and could smell the flowers from the field but the scent that filled her the most was Gabriel woodsy scent that was all him. It relaxed her further. 

Sara and Miyuki returned and the four girls managed to get everything else that was left. "Since that is everything that is left you can relax at the house Miyuki. I will stay with Amelia up here a little longer." He sees her nod and then the group leaves. 

Amelia watched as the others left and smiled happily. "You want to be alone? What are you thinking about Gabriel." She looked up at his face and touched his cheek with her hand. 

Gabriel nuzzled her hand happily. "I just want you all to myself." he then kisses her palm. "I did something bad to you and I need to apologize to you." 

Amelia looks up at him confused not understanding what he was talking about. "If you are referring to your playfulness with the medicine that is hardly the reason to apologize for."

"It is not that. I lost a bit of self-control when I was kissing the nape of your neck and I marked you. It will take some time to fade, but I'm not exactly sorry that I left that type of mark on you." Gabriel moves the yukata away and traces the mark with his finger.

Feeling him tracing the spot, her face turns red. "Ummm, how about I give you one in return?" She was blushing and not really believing that she just said that to him.

"I would love that very much. A mark that shows that you are as much as mine as I am yours. I know that it is new for you." He pulls his yukata open exposing his neck. 

Amelia watches and looks away when he opens the yukata. "Is it not improper for me to see you like this?" She covers her eyes waiting to hear him speak. 

"There is nothing improper. I will be yours and you will be mine. This is but a small amount of skin. You will have to get used to seeing it." Gabriel lifts her chin and kisses her on the lips. "Just like I got you used to my kisses, you will get to do many new things." He picked up her hand and placed it over his heart 

Amelia felt his skin and blushed. She didn't pull away as under her hand she could feel his heart racing. "Your heart is racing." 

"It is because I am nervous when I am with you. Normally it wouldn't be like this but when I am alone with you this is what you do to me. So would my angel like to learn how to give a mark?" Gabriel leans forward and kisses her on the cheek. 

Amelia nods her head and looks him in the eyes. "I-I want to learn but I am scared. I do not want to cause you any harm." 

"You will not hurt me. There is nothing to worry about. I gave you my first mark and there was never anyone else that has bared that mark before. Despite what people may think I never did anything like this in the past, but I read enough about it. All my skills are taught from reading, and they will only ever be used on you." 

"Can I ask why you studied this? I am curious on why you would study this subject, and you say it with such a straight face." She looks at him curiously. 

"I'll answer your questions after you place your mark on me." Gabriel reaches over and stares into her eyes affectionately. "The first thing that you will do is form an O shape with your mouth, you will put your lips to my skin, I would prefer over my heart so that I can look at it at all times, then you will suck the spot pulling the skin into you're beautiful lips," He runs his thumb over her lips, "are you ready to try?"
