Chapter 268: Please understand the difference

Lucky POV

We are heading home just us, a few days just holding her and listening to her frustrations doing what I can to comfort her. This is usually Pickle's place but I will do what I can to bring her a little peace even if that means throwing her in the ring and letting her beat the shit out of me till she collapses with exhaustion.

I go and wake her up by peppering kisses all over her beaten face, down her back and up again to her shoulders.

"Goodmorring beautiful enchantress." I say as she opens her eyes. She smiles but grabs her lip groaning. It starts bleeding again.

"I have some ointment when we get home that will help heal it up." I say as I lift her. She wraps her arms and me.

"I can walk Lucky." She giggles out kissing my neck following my tattoo.

"Maybe." I laugh "I fucked you pretty hard last night princess."

I lean down setting her in the tub gently. She moans as she settles in.

"We have to go in a hour. While you soak I'm going to start packing then I'll join you for a shower so we can wash." I lean down and kiss her head.

Eleven hours later and and we are pulling up to the house. River's pissed and seeing red. No one let her drink on the plane. Ted sat next to her for the last five hours and what ever he said seemed to calm her enough so she could sleep for a few hours. Everything started out going as good as it could but then me and the dark prince unintentionally started her on a whole huge melt down.

Eleven hours earlier

At first it was Denalii sitting on the couch seat so of course we had to go sit with him.

Then I went and sat with Lincoln and Kenny when their flirting became to much for me to handle. I'm pretty sure Lucas and Lucy are fucking, I haven't seen him leave her side other then to fight, good for them. He seems happy. I couldn't help but to stare across the plane at them as I watch a strange look come over his face. It took me a minute to realize he was laughing and smiling with her.

"Your dad seems.." Flame didn't give me a chance to finish as she finishes for me "Happy. He looks so happy."

"Yeah happy. I've never even seen him smile in all the years I've worked for him. He's got us calling him Lucas. I didn't even know his first name till River told us when Pickle was hurt." I say making Flame and Brain laugh.

"How's she doing?"Brain asks looking at her. I shrug.

"She's trying. She's probably going crazy not drinking." I say and they share a look.

Lucas demanded a alcohol free flight. So we're all on edge but it's not bad.

"What?" I ask.

Flame grabs my hand from across the small table that has two seats on each side.

"Sweetie she still has her flask. You can smell it on her if you talk to her." I look at her for a minute then I pull my hand away and look over at River.

She's laughing with Prince stupid I'm sure at one of his dumb jokes. She looks fine to me almost like herself. I just watch her for a minute till Brain says "Lucky we all want to keep seeing that look on her face but I know how bad she can get. Alcoholism runs in our family our father was a monster and drank constantly, last night was the first time that I saw him when I looked in her eyes. That wasn't her that was that monster that looked back at me." I shake my head and look at her again.

"You know how dark I got when I let that monster out. I can't bare to watch the monster take her over. She needs help Lucky. You guys just got to decide if she gets it now or later." He pats my hand. I nod my head watching her.

I watch her as we play sorry on the Infinity touchscreen game table top. Brain is killing us he has two in his home base and we only have one each. He keeps sending me and Flame back to start with his one piece. He's probably hacked in cheating. I watch as River stands heading to the back of the plane where the bathroom is.

"I'll be back." I say standing.

"Baby you okay?" I say as I knock on the door.

She opens the door pulling me in. She pushes the door shut the pushes my back against it slamming her lips on mine. After a moment I relax and wrap my arms around her tightly.

I pull away breathless. I can taste the alcohol from her kiss. I pull her back to me, touching around her body feeling for it. I feel it in her inside pocket of her cardigan that she's been wrapping up in. I pull it out there's not much left so I grab it and chug it. Eww it burns, it's that gut rot german shit.

She smacks my arm, I put it in my back pocket.

"No booze remember princess." I say caressing her cheek.

"Then I guess you'll have to entertain me. I've seen you watching me." She starts kissing my neck as her hand rubs me through my jeans.

"Enchantress we can't." I say trying not to moan.

"Ohh we can and you want to my love." She says in my ear as she licks up my neck.

My dick is hard as fuck now "River everyone will hear us." I say holding her a little away from me.

"I'll be quite." She says pushing up against me.

"River we'll be home soon and we'll be alone, I'm fucking you everywhere and we'll as loud as we want." I say before I kiss her softly.

"Really!" She says loudly.

"What?" I ask her touching her face.

"Your really not going to fuck me! We could have been quick, fuck we could have been done already why are you acting like this?" She looks at me with such anger in her face.

"River I'm doing anything. It's just not the place. Your sore anyway, I don't want to hurt you baby."

"I'm fine! Nothing. No pain at all" she says getting in my face. I reach down and gently rub her and she jumps and I see the discomfort in her face.

"It hurts you. So not now. I know you need the pain but that also means lots of noise so not now." I say kissing her head.

"You told me to come to you first! Just remember I did as you asked!" She say trying to pull the door open.

"River I didn't say no I said not now. Please understand the difference baby." I kiss her as I cup her face. I grab the door and head out
