Chapter7

Payback, baby

Zoey

Zoey sat on the edge of her bed, mulling over different ideas to get back at her warrior. Walking over to her closet, she searched for just the right thing. Even though most of her clothes were more conservative than slutty, Zoey had a few old things in the back of her closet that had been given to her by her ex-BFF Kayla. Since her birthday was in the winter, all the provocative clothing was meant for cold weather. Opening the box in the back of the closet, she removed all the items within it and pieced together an outfit. Before strutting out of her room to her beautiful immortal, the young priestess checked her appearance, and pleased with what she saw went to get some revenge.

Kalona

After teasing his lady and having a nice long shower, the immortal had dressed then found an old novel in the living room. Satisfied with his choice, he settled down on the couch and began to read. Once he was partway through the first chapter he heard shuffling and looked up. He could not control the gasp that escaped his lips as he drank in the beautiful sight before him. There stood his Zoey, in fur boots, furry shorts that barely reached the tops of her thighs, and a leather and fur corset top. Her hair was down and topped of her look. Her appearance was beyond tempting and her mood was most definitely dangerous. She sauntered up to him, swaying her hips and drawing out her pace to further torment him. He hadn't realized he had dropped the book into his lap until his fingers starting twitching towards her. Pretending to have no knowledge of the effect she was having on him, Nyx's chosen daughter towered over him with a devious smile pasted on her lips.

"Enjoying your book, warrior?" she asked and slowly sat down on the couch next to him. It seemed that for once the immortal was simply shocked into silence as his eyes appraised the woman before him. She giggled and crawled over to him and swung her legs over his and sat leaning on him with her head on his shoulder while drawing mindless patterns on his chest. His breathing had picked up and he was sure she could hear his heart beating loud and strongly. His lower half seemed to be quite excited as well and he begged for her to not notice. Zoey sighed and closed her eyes while humming softly.

He watched her silently, trying to control himself and reign in the part of him that simply wanted to rip of her clothes and have his way with her. The immortal could feel his control coming back and was able to keep still.

Zoey

Once she had decided he had had enough time to calm down she flicked her eyes open and stared at his face. He was, no doubt, watching her intently with eyes that had just a hit of lust in them that she could tell he was trying to control. Now was when her plan could really take action.

Pulling one leg back she pulled herself up and faced her beautiful warrior while straddling his lap. She leant forward and spoke into his ear, "Why did you torture me before, Kalona? I was so enjoying what you were doing before, it was so sexy" she tried to sound husky and very provocative.

To her pleasure, she got quite the reaction from her warrior. With a groan that was almost a growl, he grabbed her hips and leaned forward to kiss her.

Kalona

He gripped her hips while she drove him crazy. When they broke apart he kissed hungrily down her throat, extracting a moan from her. She started moving her hips against his and now he really growled. Normally his control was much better but with Zoey, all bets were off.

"Kiss me, Kalona" she demanded breathlessly, and there was no way he could ever deny her. With another growl his crushed his mouth to hers. Her dainty hands unwound from his hair and traveled down his chest to his lower region. His breathing came out even harder as she slowly unzipped his pants and pulled down his boxers a little. Without any warning, what so ever, Zoey pulled back and grinned at him before jumping off his lap and sprinting away, laughing.

Kalona just sat there staring, completely dumbstruck at what she had just done. The ever so innocent and sweet Zoey Redbird had seduced her immortal warrior and left him alone with his pants and boxers pulled down to reveal his manhood. He growled silently and pulled up His pants to go and make yet another shower and to take care of his now painful problem.

Zoey

She flung herself onto her bed and burst out laughing. She kept laughing until she actually felt tears running down her cheeks. Changing out of the ridiculous outfit, she slipped on some pants and a wool sweater before going downstairs and reading by the fire. After a while she heard him approach, and pretended not to notice his entrance. He sat down beside her and started reading his own book. Eventually the two shifted closer and closer together until Zoey was curled into her warrior's side and his arm was wrapped around her as they both read. After a while, she got bored of reading and turned in the immortal man's arms so she could rest her head in his lap and take a nap.

When she awoke she found that her head was no longer resting in his lap but she was wrapped in his warm embrace. Turning over she found his eyes were closed and he was smiling in his sleep. He just looked so adorable and vulnerable that she couldn't resist reaching over and kissing his hard lips. She then ventured down his jaw and neck, covering her path with kisses. Zoey knew when her warrior was awake because his hold tightened and he sighed happily. Snuggling into him she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. As far as she knew this was pretty close to her happy place. Everything just felt so right as if being here, alone with this man in her arms, was more true than anything else she'd ever known.

After a while, her stomach growled, causing Kalona to chuckle and loosen his hold on her. She sighed in defeat and moved to sit up, but before she could get up his hands were pinning her down and he was quickly instructing her, "You can't go in yet, I have to blindfold you first, it's a surprise" her stomach fluttered at his words and she prayed that she love what he'd done for her.

He tied a small cloth behind her head and guided her to the kitchen. He removed the blindfold and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Zoey gasped as she took in the sight before her. While she was asleep, Kalona had somehow found the old Christmas lights and strung them above the table. On the table were two large candles with a centerpiece that was a vase filled with lavender. There were two plates that were topped with spaghetti that had seafood sauce and spices mixed in and a tall glass of brown pop that was mixed with wine.

"Oh Kalona!" she swooned as she lovingly stroked his cheek that was still rested on her shoulder. He turned his head to place a few kisses on the side of her face before whispering in her ear, "I aim to please you, my lady."

She turned in his arms, now hungry for more than just food and kissed him with unbelievable tenderness. When they broke away she smiled at him and spoke softly, "Thank you so much, my warrior, this is by far the sweetest and most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me."

"You are very welcome; now, would you be so kind as to join me for dinner, my lady?"

He offered his arm and she giggled but took it and he led her to the table, pulling out her chair then pushing her in. She immediately dove into her food and nearly moaned at the delicious taste.

"Oh my goddess where did you learn to cook like this? This food is amazing!"

"Thank you, I don't normally cook but I do know how and have been able to do so since I first walked this realm."

They ate in silence except for the occasional comment on dinner or short topic. The silences were relaxing and the small talk was comfortable. It was getting late and Zoey was starting to droop a little. Noticing the loss of energy of his priestess, Kalona carried her up to her room.

Once in her room, Zoey hurried to get ready. She brushed out her hair and scrubbed her teeth before changing into a nightgown that came down to the middle of her thighs. She strutted out of her room and to the guest one, knocking softly on the door. He answered wearing nothing but his boxers making the young priestess smirk. He smiled sheepishly down at her and she put on her best innocent face before speaking, "Kalona, will you stay with me tonight? I don't want to have anymore bad dreams" it wasn't like she was lying for she truly was afraid of the dream she had last night.

"Of course my lady." he hesitated in the doorway.

"What is it?"

"Uh, well, would you like me to put on more clothes, priestess?"

"Nope" she replied, making a popping sound at the end of the word.

She skipped to her room with her warrior not far behind her.

Kalona

He closed and locked the door behind him, waiting until she slipped under the covers to turn off the lights. He made his way over to her in the dark and noticed his wings for the first time since they'd been here. Normally he didn't give them a second thought when he was with Zoey, but he felt as though he needed to try something out. Slipping under the covers, he pulled her small frame against his large body and bent down to kiss her lips. Her dainty hands quickly snaked into his hair and starting pulling it softly as the kiss deepened. The winged immortal slowly wrapped his wings around his beloved. Yes, his beloved. He had fallen truly and irrevocably in love with Zoey Redbird, high priestess and chosen daughter of Nyx who was also soon to be immortal. He had been debating whether or not to tell her while lying with her on the couch, and then he almost admitted it to her when he revealed her surprise. Maybe now he should do it. He silently sent a prayer to Nyx –something he hadn't done in over an eternity- and to his surprise, got an answer. Do not fear revealing your feelings to my daughter warrior, once you return to reality you shall face new challenges that only your love for one another will be able to defeat. Once her voice vanished, taking with it more of the remaining darkness with in him he turned his attention back to his love, who was wrapped in the double embrace of his wings and arms as she happily hummed in his ear.

"Zoey" he started, already feeling panicked in fear of the chance of rejection.

"Yes?"

"There is something I must tell you" she pulled back to look into his eyes; into his soul then closed his eyes and continued, "I know its very soon to say this but I can't deny how I feel and I know that this is what our Goddess wants as well. Zoey Redbird, I, Kalona, fallen angel, immortal, and warrior to you, have fallen deeply and irreversibly in love with you." he held his breath, waiting for her response. When he did not get one he slowly opened his eyes to see tears streaming down his lady's face.

"Zoey what's wrong? Has my confession upset you? If so I promise to try and keep things on a more business like basis, I just assumed..." he trailed off and looked down as the rejection washed over him, angering him because this feeling made him feel weak and too vulnerable.

Small but strong fingers grasped his chin and pulled it up to meet her gaze.

"Oh Kalona" she swooned as tears continued down her cheeks, "I love you too!" she declared and pulled him into a passionate kiss. He felt the last bit of darkness within him shrink away and wrench itself form his body causing him to feel raw as if he were burning and Zoey cool touches soothed his hot skin.

"Mmm, Zoey I love kissing you" he mumbled around her lips. His lower self seemed to be at full attention and this time she felt it on her leg and she giggled.

"Somebody knows what they want" she teased him lightly.

With a groan he pushed her back and kissed her more deeply, bracing his arms on either side of her head so his weight did not crush her. She ran her hand up and down his chest, tracing his perfect stomach and abs with her cold fingers making him growl and lick her lip before entering his tongue into her mouth. When they pulled away and he started kissing her neck she gasped and pulled at his hair, causing him to growl again.

"God, Kalona" she gasped, "You're so sexy when you growl".

She pulled back to look deep into his eyes and seemed to have made some sort of decision.

"Kalona, I want you, please, now." she panted.

"Oh, Zoey are you sure?" he wasn't sure he could control himself any longer.

"Yes I'm sure"

"Okay my love."

Zoey then made love with the man she loved and forgot about her horrible first time, focusing only on the way this man touched and cherished her.

I figured I'd spice it up a little more between them because they are going to have a bumpy ride. It is the long weekend so I figured I'd give yall a long chapter before I went away for the weekend. Please review and leave suggestions! Also, I might write a one-shot so please do read that too and review! Thank youuu!
