The unconquered land ch.10

The noise was a disturbance to us both as Darien very reluctantly rose from the bed to answer his door. "This better be freaking global…" he muttered. It would be cutie if I wasn't so horny and on edge myself. He pulls on his pants not caring about his shirt and taking one last longing look at me as he goes to answer his door.

Grunting he asks, "What is it?" it was Jed looking perky and bubbly. For a moment I mistaken his bubbly look for something I would see on Mina. Weird. "Hey dude we just got this whole supply of candies and cookies you should really come check it out!" now had this been any other moment in time I'd jump at the chance for it but right now I needed me some Darien.

Fortunately Darien wasn't letting me go anytime soon. "That's why you came here? For treats and cookies?" his voice rises up slightly on the last 3 words. Jed's completely oblivious to what he's walked in on, a tiger needing to procreate with his mate…OK bad term but you get the picture!

I effortlessly slip out of the bed, making sure to have my body covered by what's passing as sheets these days, and peak my head out under Darien's arm. "Hey Jed." Seeing me there he becomes deterred from the near homicidal look Darien is currently sporting. "I was just tell-what are you wearing?"

His question prompts my next response, "I believe it's a sheet of some kind. Do you mind giving us a few hours, we we're in the middle of something." Take the hint Jed before Darien does damage. Getting the picture his gaze shifts back to a Darien on the verge of ringing his neck for distracting him for treats.

Backing up out of hitting range he holds his hands up in defense while I pull my head back in. Darien seeing this on both ends shuts the door in his face. Running to his stash of papers that I hadn't seen before he puts in big bold letters DO NOT DISTURB! Opening the door long enough to post it outside the door before promptly locking it. My hands can't help themselves.

I slip my hands around his waist from behind and undo his pants. They fall to the floor as I slowly walk backwards towards the bed. Turning 3 steps from the bed I walk the last ones while slowly lowering the sheet from my body, revealing more and more skin all over again.

Dairen's eyes grow from wider to darker with lust in seconds. Once I let go of one end of the sheet and reveal the rest of my naked back, I gently toss it onto the bed and turn around giving him a full shameless view of my naked form. Only this time knowing he's seen me naked, I stand as voluptuous, knowing, and seductive as possible, while still holding a trace of pure innocence to my features.

Before I have the chance to wonder if my presentation aroused him he literally tackles me to the bed, pinning my hands down lightly but firmly. Releasing a giggle he in turn loosened his hold. "Now then where we're we?" he asks playfully. As nice as it would be to play around a little I'm done with the games.

"Make love to me." I stated. He stares at me eyes darkening before dipping his head down near my ear and whispering, "You're dangerous….trouble even." His words throw me off. "How the hell am I trouble? Yes I can be dangerous, I do kick ass but trouble?"

He laughs and explains, "You're the only woman I've ever known to claim my heart so fast, so easily…it's scary…which makes you dangerous, and you're also the only woman I've ever known to bait a 'giant gecko'. On that one you're trouble." Pouting my lips out I make a move to cross my arms when he stops me.

"Oh no you don't-" he states as he pulls my crossed arms apart and puts them up under his arms as he gets down on one elbow and uses the other arm to adjust himself into proper position. "It might be slightly painful. It has been a while, for the both of us. Your insides haven't been stretched in so long you might feel more than the average amount of pain at being stretched again."

His words help me out a little and I feel better knowing he's trying to help against the oncoming sheathing. Nodding my head in understanding he kisses me, deeply, lovingly. His head starts to nudge again my folds as a lightning bolt strikes me. "Darien…" I barely breathed.

"Yeah…" his face is buried in my neck kissing, nipping at my skin sending tiny bolts of pleasure down to my toes. "Condom." Is all I manage to get out as my hand grips his head, while his other head is gliding against my folds yet again. His right hand shots out to grab the ones he'd snatched earlier.

But my hands are quicker and I snatch them, surprised by my move he moves back just enough to see if I'll actually put it on him or if I'll just give it to him. Tearing the package open I take it out, bend my body and head as I start to gently unroll it on him using my teeth and tongue. A trick I haven't used in over a year.

The moan he lets out confirms I haven't lost my touch. I slowly kiss his body as I go back up starting at his stomach and ending at his lips. His lips take mine in a frenzy of passion; I briefly look down at the label seeing the big MAGNUM on it. I look back seeing the glazed look in his eyes.

I ask aloud, "I'm beginning to wonder if I can fit you." He smiles and says, "I was wondering the same…I guess we'll just have to find out." Using the surge of unknown adrenaline that I have I crawl up into his lap, legs to either side as I wrap my arms around his neck and his become steel bands around my waist and back, changing places every few seconds unable to keep still, having a constant need to touch my body…it was arousing to say the least.

As I move over him I lean as much as possible to get him to lean back. Losing his balance he goes to brace himself only to have me blocking his arms and falls back onto his back. Remembering a line from an old show that I used to watch I can't help myself, "I hope you're as good as you look…" I take his condom covered, now dripping member and line it up with myself.

"Cause I'm not a girl who takes disappointment lying down." His eyes turn darker, nearly black and I can feel him ready to flip me over to take me, so I slowly lower myself onto his waiting cock signing little by little effectively pulling his mind from his prior plans of flipping me.

Any other time I'd love to be taken by him but now, I want to claim him as mine as badly as he does with me as his. Completely sunken I divulge in the sensations just sitting there on top of him gives me. He's so big and long, I just barely fit him in. My walls are still adjusting to his size.

After a moment of memorizing the moment I start a steady pace of grinding back and forth on him. He shuts his eyes and grips my hips in unmistakable intent. I drag one hand of his to my breast while his other hand gets the idea and traces my leg till it comes in contact with my center. Stroking it gently at first I stutter in my rhythm earning a chuckle from Darien.

Looking into his eyes I see the love in them. "Serena, I adore you…I want you…I…" getting to lost in the emotions I best him by purposely clenching my inner walls tighter making him lose his own rhythm and groan out loud in sheer ecstasy while loosing his train of thought.

His head comes back up and so does his raging desire. "So you want to play it that way hun?" he asks. Angling our heads I reply, "I'm not playing; I want you and adore you to." Having had enough with the slow pace I can see he's ready to get more…and ready to take it as well.

Before he can move I speed up, bouncing up along his engorged member throwing him off guard once again. He moves to speeding up his pace as well. His fingers still manage the same slow motions on my lower lips though I don't know how. Wanting him to speed his fingers up, not able to take it anymore I move to grab them when he uses the leverage to push me back onto my back.

Putting my hands back into place he starts the trusting again at a slow pace but soon resumes the faster set pace we left only moments ago. His fingers resume their original position only they speed up as well hitting near my sacred spot but never touching it. Crying out in pleasure filled agony I beg him, "Please Darien, let me come already! Oh god!" I cry out towards the end.

The motions getting to strong to talk through I have no choice but to settle for groans to convey needs. Darien sensing my oncoming orgasm finally starts giving my nub the attention it needs and strokes it. Lifting my leg up over his shoulder he pounds into me even harder while still paying sweet attention to my nub.

Feeling the waves coming at me I struggle to latch onto one as Darien is relentless in his pursuit on my body. With one gently brush of his fingers followed by a strong pinch I latch onto a wave careening towards me and I fall over the precipice. My mouth opens to form words but I don't hear anything coming out over the sound of my own blood rushing through my ears.

Vaguely I hear my name being half yelled, half growled by Darien as I subside. A few minutes later I regain enough strength to remove my leg from his shoulder. His sweaty frame gains my attention as I look up to see the smirk on his face. "What?" I ask. He smiles as he brushes our sweaty foreheads together.

"It's nothing; I've just never had anyone say that to me in bed before. It's an ego boost." Stunned at this I ask, "What did I say?" He just shakes his head and rests it on top of my chest. "You're so beautiful Serena…sometimes I wish I had the nerve to ask you all that time ago about your tattoo. But I didn't out of fear that Daniel would wonder why I was being so overly curious with another woman."

This startles me. "What?" I ask. "You do remember us meeting at that convention…right?" he asks lifting his head. "Of course I do, but I didn't think you did." I respond. "How could I forget, you entranced me then somehow. Why else would I touch the back of the neck of a random fan? The first time I saw you here I felt relieved and I didn't know why. There's just something about you…"

His words light up my heart. Tears start to form in my eyes, he sees them. Not wanting him to see weakness at this moment I turn my head to the side only to have him kiss the side of my neck before trailing them down to my chest. Filled with a renewed burning heat I return the kisses along his neck. We make love several more times into the day each time we find a new spot, a new pleasure point that even we ourselves didn't know existed until the other discovered it.

Waking up the next morning I felt a faint, familiar sensation on my lower lips beneath the sheets. Looking to my left on Darien's bed I didn't see him, looking beneath the sheets to where my desire was quickly growing from I found him. Feeling my hands in his hair he looked up.

A pleasure eating grin firmly in place on his face, "You….mm…..better be care-ooh-ful. A girl could…mmm…get use to wak-aahhh-ing up like this…" I barely manage to get the words out between breathes as he pleasures me deeply. His tongue seems to reach further and further inside me each time.

He laughs, sending vibrations deep inside. "Serena…" was all he managed to get out. His tongue was to busy to form words. We fell asleep again after I reciprocated for him. Waking up again only an hour later I felt his hand toying with my nether region from behind. The gentle lazy stroking was enough to build a slow intoxicating burn.

Getting an idea I removed his hand and brought it to my nipple why I moved my body into a different placement hoping he'd catch onto my idea. With my back completely facing his front and my ass now grinding slowly into his ever growing erection his other finds its way to my neither lips.

Feeling him stroking the flames even higher I wordlessly beg him to slip into me. Sensing my need he slips himself deep into me from behind. His balls resting against my butt as he's fully sunken in. Dipping his head into my neck he starts to gently pump. Seeing as how neither of us has been in this particular position for over a year as well we take it slow…at first.

But in our current sex fogged state of minds we rapidly go for the awaiting tides. His hips repeatedly slap into my ass as his fingers continue to toy with my nipples and my nub. "Darien…oh god…take me make me yours." I manage to rasp out, my voice not even sounding like me anymore.

Removing his hands I gasp in protest before he lowers me onto the bed, grips my hips, lowers himself onto me before he proceeds to pound into me with everything he has. The intense pleasure is almost too much to bear. I grip the sheets for purchase where there is none as Darien brings us both to the breaking point.

Feeling myself catch fire I grab one of his hands and pull it to where I need it. He strokes my clit till I feel that familiar fire catch, I lock onto it and fall over the edge…Darien was far behind as I could hear his big guttural groan from behind me. Completely spent we fall asleep like that, with his half mast cock still inside of me.

I don't how long we slept for but I knew it had been a long time seeing as now we we're completely starving for food. We dressed grudgingly not really wanting to leave the room and what we shared in it. Taking one final deep kiss before we leave the room we leave off for the cafeteria.

Lunch consisted of noodles and a special treat of Reese cups. Though my mind wasn't on the chocolate in front of me it was on the looks Darien was throwing my way. I would eat purposely slow on the noodles, making sure to savor the flavor by licking my lips and sucking gently on my fingers when needed.

Darien did his best to avoid showing how much he wanted to grab and throw me down on the table. I had fun messing with him. When lunch was over I decided that I needed to get to business and went to Amy. I recalled her telling me she had tracked down the source of the chip from the warped dude like monster.

I knew that Malachite and the others hadn't checked it out because deep down they knew I wanted this for myself. Signally to Darien where I was going he followed right behind. Once we entered the area I ask her, "So where is the location?" looking to me and taking off her glasses she said, "Hello to you too Serena."

Feeling guilty for not talking to any of the girls since Darien and I went to his place for that duration of time I apologized, waving me off she gave me the coordinates for the source and said, "Oh and Darien…" he looked back to her surprised to gain her attention.
If you break her heart WE will break your legs…comprendo"

Smiling at her need to keep me safe I hear him say, "IF it we're to happen I comprendo but it won't. I promise." Before Amy can utter that he can't promise such a thing he grabs my hand and leads me off in the direction of the tunnel. "Your friends are protective of you aren't they?" He asks.

Smiling I answer, "You have no idea. It's like we all have this uncontrollable need to protect anyone we can and it reflects also on each other. We love each other like sisters. And it's strange considering how different we all are." Walking towards the tunnel hand in hand now he questions me.

"How are you all different?" I take a moment to ponder his question I reply back, "Amy's book smarter than any of us, the girl knows the definition of 'hyperbole'; I can't even spell the word. Lita is stronger than any girl I've ever known and she's gotten me out of tight jams even before the disease outbreak."

We round a corner and I continue, "Ray's another entity all her own. Her fiery personality clashes with my own sometimes and her jealously on certain issues bring us both down to acting like children again." We round into the vehicle area and start to prep for the bikes.

"Mina is truly a golden spirit. She had-has…" I correct myself, "has a heart that can't be dispelled. One of the reasons why we get along so well, she sees my points of view on a lot of issues and like me thinks with her heart, making her a sweetheart." Seeing that Darien doesn't feel the threat I add on.

"Don't get us wrong though you hurt one of us and the rest are there to tear you to pieces. It's strange though, I don't even completely remember how we all met, it was just sort of randomness. Lita was transferred here, Amy was in my class, Ray went to a different school but we visited the temple she worked at often, and Mina, well you know." Darien ponders this for a moment before strapping up with me.

However you guys have found a perfect friendship with each other as you…balance each other out, bring out the positive and encourage the strengths in each other that you probably wouldn't have seen before you met." His words hold wisdom to them. "But one thing I can clearly see between you all." He remarks.

I look to him curiously, "What's that?" I ask. "You're the glue that holds them all together. They all work fine together and alone but I feel that if it weren't for having you in common they wouldn't have even met. Colleagues maybe, but not the friends you are now." His statement stuns me.

"You really think that?" I ask. He smirks, "Hell, Amy probably would be afraid of Lita, Ray would be secluded at her temple still, Lita probably would have fallen into a bad crowd…" waving my hand I stop him. "I don't believe that. The girls would have gone with their lives with or without me."

He doesn't believe me and starts up the bike. "Shouldn't we have back up to go with us?" I ask. "What for? We're just doing a perimeter check." He replies. What? "No we're going to take them down." I state. Turning off the bike he walks the 2 steps over to mine, bends over on my bike as he says very clearly what we're going to do.

"No we're not-we're going to do a perimeter check and see if the place even checks out. If it does then we'll watch guard shifts, rotations, check out the security…THAT'S ALL." He makes it very clear to me. I feel like a small child at this treatment and I don't like it one little bit.

"Excuse me but-" I didn't even have the chance to stand up off the bike his hands firmly planted themselves in my shoulders preventing my sit up, at least without tipping the bike over. "No. I get that we need to find out this information but we can't unless we do the recon first. Got it?" he asks.

Seeing his reason I say, "There's no need to treat me like a child, I'm not that much younger than you." I state, unable to keep the pout from my face.

Walking over to me with a look in eyes that spell carnal lust he leans back over the bike, grips my chin in one hand and says, "believe me when I say I'm NOT treating you like a child…I'm treating you like the precious gold you are to me. I won't let you get into any unnecessary danger."

He kisses me quick before leaving to once again mounting his bike. My head is spinning from the sweetness of his statement along with the partial absurdity of it. Precious gold? Lets see whose precious after this…once the bikes warmed up I fly out of there determined to prove to him how this 'precious gold' can kick some serious ass out there against the enemy.

It takes us over an hour to get there before we stop our bikes. Seeing the old towers surrounding us I can easily tell how they were able to bounce the signal off so many for so long. We walk around a good 100 meters from the building outside making sure not to be spotted by cameras. I'm already seeing over a dozen out there and in various locations, I'll mark them for later on.

Darien spots something and has us both duck down near a cement wall. Probably used back in the day to keep cars from crashing into each other or something, I wasn't paying close attention just grateful that we had something to hide behind. I look to his view and see an infected walking along.

Luckily the infected didn't spot us or else we may have had some trouble with whoever's watching…if someone's watching… But someone spotted the infected cause within 30 seconds he…the infected was permanently dead on the ground. Darien and I spent 15 minutes looking for sentries around the place.

We finally found him perched with 2 other men on top of the building. Then we finally spotted some more. In total we spotted 10 men and women out on sentry duty. We watched them for 4 hours just on rotations alone. Luckily I still had Amy's paper with me so I was able to use the back of it to write down each guard's rotation shifts, though I did have to come up with a way to ID them.

I went by window guard 1 or middle roof guard, they were to far away, and too covered up to try and sort out by difference in uniform color. Besides I had a fleeting feeling they wore all the same uniforms. So the trick now was to remember who each guard was, go back to the building, sleep, and I do mean sleep, go back tomorrow and make sure they didn't change the routine.

Once that's done we'll go in the following day after we make sure we've got all the supplies we need to launch an attack on them. Most of it was Darien's idea but I threw in the actual sleep part. His words 'you better sleep in your room tonight then'. My words 'I think we can handle just sleeping in the same bed together'.

He just shook his head and said 'believe me when I say after the evening and day we just had sleep is the furthest thing on my mind at the moment'. It was sweet but I already have a sinking feeling that by the time we return he'll feel differently about that. We get back to the building with only 15 minutes of light to spare.

Once inside he feels the dregs of riding for over 2 hours on a bike. Don't get me wrong they're great, but when you're not used to over an hour of riding, let alone 2 hours of it, you're going to feel it. He was sore and definitely not in the mood. So as I had stated before, all we ended up doing was sleeping that night.

The next morning we headed down to the cafeteria, ate, gathered Mal and the other guys as well as the girls and went to control to make plans. "Ok so far from what I-we've collected, they've guys stationed at all the exits and entrances, which is what we expected." This was bizarre.

I hadn't planned on doing the 'debriefing' as Darien had put it but he, Mal, Lita and Ray wanted to see what arsenal we could fit on us. So I was stuck telling the rest the potential hazards and what we recorded from the 4 long hours we spent monitoring movements. So not my thing…

I was more the type to feel my way through, not prep the night before, even though it was probably a better idea…not that I'll admit that to him…I continued on, "There are 2 guys and 1 girl on the roof. All of their rotations intertwine with each others. As if it would confuse the infected out there…

To put it mildly I was out of my depth on this one and just wanted to go out there, get the Intel on my old bosses, and then kill them for what they've done to our country…to our planet. I don't even know if this disease has spread international. Maybe somewhere out there it's free of infected…Anyways that's my plan.

Seeing Darien walking back in I finish up with him helping me out at difficult portions of the prep up. Just give me my guns already…I mentally groan, then as if voicing my complaint, Lita speaks out, "As fun as talking is, I'm up for some action." She grabs 2 knives, a sawed off shot gun, 2 hand guns, and just enough ammo.

I follow suit as does Ray, Malachite, Nephrite, and Jadeite. We start to head out fully intending to gather the equipment needed to take them on. The others like Amy, Mina, and Zoicite come out to the area we we're in to make sure the guards rotations stay the same and don't change up on us.

Once we make it out to our point we're completely on guard. Last time we were here that big dude with the arm the size of my body was here. We tread carefully throughout the gun shop. Now knowing where the good stuff is we go to the back room making sure to keep a look out just in case some other unknown nasty comes out of hiding and decides to try and kill us…or rather, me.

Getting into the back we clear the place before opening up every crate back there finding everything from ying tao grenades to semi automatics to samurai swords? Pondering that little tidbit I grab 2 anyways. Well on one hand at least they won't run out of bullets…grabbing the extra packs we brought to carry the extras in I start packing while Darien keeps on opening the crates.

The weapons list that we manage keeps going on; we pretty much found a freaking weapons locker room there was that much. But it wasn't just grenades and guns we grabbed it was the amount of ammo we snatched to. I had a whole 2 packs full of nothing but weapons clips for semis and autos.

The 9mm I had only 1 pack for that since there were only 3 of us that used them. But the time I was done filling 4 of the packs Darien came in from opening the crates to helping me pack the rest. We loaded all of the packs on the vehicle with everyone else making sure to keep the pack of grenades away from the rest just in case.

Making sure all of the guns still had the safety on them we left the place leaving only half of the guns and ammo there. We couldn't fit all of the guns in the vehicle especially the much bigger ones. With the people we were carrying it wouldn't work going back. They watched our backs in there it was only fair.

One gun we did grab was a giant bazooka, capable of doing some serious damage and blinding enemies which comes in handy. But the place only had a few of the M6A1 rockets for it so we were going to have to use it conservatively. Now I'm wondering if its even in the family of a gun…anyways…

Going back I notice the road we took to get Beryl out of there and I wonder how she is. Did she change at all? Is she even still alive? I still feel the dregs of guilt over leaving her out here. Maybe she learned her lesson…maybe…all my maybes would go unheard and I just know everyone here would convince me it was for the best.

Banishing Beryl thoughts from my mind I take a good look around myself to see how the area looks now. The nearby buildings that once housed businesses are now crumbling over the neglect. The street signs are either completely gone or so wrecked all it would take is a drunken person leaning on it to fall.

The roads are in serious need of repair and are still filled with dried blood from earlier attacks from when the outbreak first happened. I can only imagine what these streets must have been like, bustling with people happily one day, going to their families, going to work to earn money for the families.

Only for the next day, to be fighting to stay human, alive, long enough to at least say goodbye to your family and friends before you turn on them and then they have to kill you in fear of their own lives as well as the lives of their loved ones. It seems like a distant memory now, everything that happened.

Had I not been working with the company would I have survived? Would my friends and I be dead? Would they have had to kill me if I became infected? Before my thoughts turn even more sour we arrive back at the building. Standing there waiting for us are the girls and guys with their progress report.

"We have confirmed that for the duration of the 4 hours that nothing has changed within the rotation to the shifts." Amy's confidence assures me this'll be successful when we go in. "Alright. We'll go in tomorrow once we load everything and pack this all up." I indicate the supplies we obtained.

Amy goes up to take a look at what we have and her eyes widen at what she sees. "I know your going into a fight but is it necessary to bring ALL of this with you?" I laugh at her expression a little. Only Amy would be concerned…my answer holds a tinge of merriment in it, "No were only going to bring what's necessary, the rest were going to keep here for use just in case."

She smiles and accepts after she hands me her progress report. She and Zoicite leave off, to where I don't know, but they leave off hand in hand so I don't bother asking, it's none of my business. Hell, ever since Greg it's been hard for her to accept another man in her life, so I'm glad she's found one on her level.

She needs someone to stimulate her…intellectually that is. She hardly ever gets to be around others with her brain power so Zoicite's intelligence level will surely give her something to ponder over as well as someone to talk with on the levels she's looking for. I'll have to remember to give him the big sister speech at some point…with the other girls mind you.

Making sure to pack what's needed for our 'trip' tomorrow we load the convoy up and close off the area to settle in for the day. No use in going in during the day light hours when you can have the cover of the evening behind you. Eating some noodles in the cafeteria Darien and I decide to sleep early for the night.

Lying down in bed he slips both arms around me in a secure but light hold. Our legs glide in between each other smoothly. I can feel the slight course hair on his legs and I'm sure he can feel the subtle growth of 4 day small stubs of hair on my legs as well. Its not that easy to find a Venus razor out here and the cheap ones are cheap for a freaking reason…they produce a hell of a lot of nicks!

Anyways not caring at the moment, knowing we need sleep I rest into the crook of his shoulder peacefully as we await slumber to catch up with us. During my sleep I encounter what the always intelligent Amy would tell me is guilt. Guilt over throwing Beryl out, because I find myself in the desolate area we left Beryl in.

Only she's laughing at me with Darien standing next to her unable to move away due to her mind manipulation. His need to try and help me is clear through his eyes but his inability to move is quite clear. Beryl laughs a cackling, maniacal laughed reserved for those who've lost their minds to madness.

I can't try to get to them due to the hordes of infected I'm being stopped by. I try to fight to get to him but there are too many, so I back track only to find myself on the edge of a cliff. Where did that come from? That's when I realize I have 2 choices, become the infected dead or just die period.

I look at Darien one last time, mouthing the words I love you before I make one last ditch effort to save him. It's in vain as I get bitten all over. The fiery pain of the bites and tearing flesh deters my goal. Beryl gives a slight glimmer of respect for my attempt before walking close, leaning in even closer only to shove me back into the hordes of infected people.

Gasping I wake up from my slumber covered in sweat. Darien's form was still sleeping peacefully next to me till he felt me shift completely then he woke up, "Serena what's wrong it's…" he looks at his night stand seeing the red numbers, "3:20 am we need to sleep what's wrong? Nightmare?" he groggily finishes off.

Wiping the sweat from my face I get up to shower unable to have the need for sleep after that. "Yeah a nightmare…a freaking vivid as hell nightmare." I reply back, shedding my undergarments in the process. The shower systems groans once on and I sink into the abyss of steam as I try to figure out the meaning behind it.

I've never been one to care about dreams or figuring them out but Amy once told me that your dreams hold within them the answers to your problems, what's bugging you and your worst fears. That one held fear over not being able to protect Darien from Beryl. Something big is coming and we have to stop it before it comes crashing down where we are and hurts innocent lives.

Some how, somehow I just know that Beryl is involved. I'm so tuned in to my thoughts I don't hear Darien shed the rest of his clothes. She's up to something I can feel it…he steps lightly into the shower behind me; I'm still oblivious to it. Was she ever able to touch me? Can she get into my head and give me these dreams? Are they dreams or is she giving me a taste of what she's going to do to me?

Before I have time to further ponder my thoughts I feel 2 masculine arms wrap around me. I'm enclosed in steal bands of warmth that I instantly feel safe and secure in. Darien is the only man that has ever had the power to make me feel this way; no other man has come close to this…not even Andrew.

I turn my body only to feel him pinning me against the wall I was previously using as support for my body. "Serena you need to tell me what's going or you're going to blow up. I'm here for you, why can't you let me in?" I sink back into his body grateful for the relief he alone can and has provided.

"I'm at a loss…I feel this possible, bizarre connection to Beryl. I'm starting to wonder if maybe she can tap into my head the way she did with her uncle. I'm having these dreams, that's are random so at first I didn't think anything of them but now…maybe she's trying to tell me what she's going to do-" I don't have the chance to finish before Darien spins me around and puts his fingers to my lips.

"Serena you have no connection with Beryl because you 2 are NOTHING alike. So the disease molded you both differently that doesn't make you 2 alike in a way. Trust me I know." He says. "But how do you know?" I ask desperately. He sees my disbelief clearly written on my face. I start to wonder if the water on my face is the shower water or tears escaping me.

He grabs my face in both hands and proceeds to explain, "You and Beryl are completely different entities. For one, your skin is smooth and holds a creamy white complexion that any supermodel would kill for. 'He caresses my arms in demonstration. "Two your golden hair holds tints of silver that give you the appearance of a fierce, beautiful and innocent goddess out in the moonlight."

My eyes narrow at that. When did he see me out in the moonlight? "I saw your face last night while you slept. I do have a window in here. The moonlight bathed you in its shimmer…you looked…ethereal…eternal. I wanted you to be mine…forever, and I know it's not completely logical for me to think like that but I do."

His face pouts at not being able to call me his own. Putting my hand to his face I ask him knowing I have to get him out of thinking I'm not his, "What's the 3rd thing?" his meet mine. I feel so much love radiating from his depths. I just want to drown in his gaze and drift on those waves for life.

He answers, "Your heart is so big, you feel guilty for even the likes of Beryl, and for that alone you're a completely different entity from her. I could never in any of my years like Beryl even a smidgen. I love you more than I could have ever though capable of loving anyone. And truthfully it scares me, my love for you scares me it's that intense." I feel myself cry at his words.

Wrapping my arms around him I crush our lips together in a frenzy of love and passion that only he can quench. His arms become bands around me again as he kisses back with full force. Pinning me so hard to the shower wall I slide up off my toes. Making my decision I wrap my legs around his waist.

He grabs both my legs and anchors them around his hips gliding his now growing erection on my outer lips. The water acts as a lubricant to us as we glide and kiss. He uses his arms to glide me up and down along his shaft, the pleasure rapidly becoming too much to bear for us both.

"Please…" I beg him. He changes tactics at the last minute and swerves me around again throwing my head through a loop. He without warning slides himself inside my rear. His penetration is enough to make my head spin. His hands hold my arms pinned to the tile as he slowly pushes himself into my from behind.

I lose my breath from the deep intrusion while Darien struggles himself to breath. Taking my face in his left hand he pulls my head back to see my face as he slowly pushes and pulls inside of me. Seeing the intensity growing I let go and give in to the delicious give and take of his body.

I slowly build to orgasm as he starts to move faster and deeper within me from behind. I feel the perfect wave coming and jump into it with everything I have. I barely have the chance to come down from the orgasm currently engulfing my body when Darien slips himself from me.

The water pelts down on us both continuously as if still trying to wash us both off. He turns me around picks me up by my hips, wraps my legs around his waist as he slowly slides himself in effortlessly. My walls stretch to accommodate his still engorged length. "Oh god!" I gasp out. Struggling to hold onto something I grab onto the back of his neck and his shoulder for purchase against this new invasion of pleasure.

If feels different this time, new, more intense. With every thrust it sent torrents of intense pleasure racing through my body. His bulging arms held my lithe form easily against the on slaughter of his massive thrusts. As if that wasn't enough he grabbed one of my legs and put it over the shoulder not currently occupied by my arm.

He sinks himself inside, even deeper into my molten core. I screamed with the amount of intense pleasure I felt radiating through my body. He leaned a little further into to me allowing him to be closer and to sink deeper inside, if that was even possible. His heaving grunts and moans of pleasure told me that he was near the breaking point himself. I briefly wonder how he's lasted this long.

I needed him in this moment like I needed air. I need to feel his raw power, his stamina, his undying need for me that was as strong for him as my need was for him. His thrusts grew stronger, gaining more depth than I believed possible built I still felt his control within them.

I grasped his face in my hands. With the water still running in rivers down our connected bodies I gasped out, "I want to feel all of you…please…" I was not beyond begging at this point. Seeing the need within me his eyes ask permission, I gladly give it to him and he looses whatever remains he was using to control himself and ends up driving into me like a herd of bulls.

The power and depth he was gaining now was incredible compared to before hand. I swear I felt him reach my womb. Feeling the oncoming of my orgasm I tried to gasp out something anything that would convey my love, my need for him. But alas, the ever welcoming orgasm took me over and I fell…hard…he came shortly after me, shouting my name. I could still felt him thrusting into me while I came prolonging both of our orgasms.

Finally calming down after what seemed like an hour but was really only a few minutes. We stepped out of the shower and back into bed completely and utterly spent. "Remind me to lock the bathroom door next time." I barely gasp out. Darien chuckles and states with barely retained laugher, "Yeah I'll be sure to remember that…when hell freezes over and I marry Beryl."

We both laugh at his statement before finally we fall into a dreamless slumber.

The next morning went as we planned. We got suited up before heading out on the bikes to the building. We stayed in our positions for an hour just to make sure of anything at the last minute…nothing. Lita pulled out a sniper rifle and took out the guys on the roof making sure they didn't fall to the ground below and alert the others out on patrol. Really would do much in helping us…

If things kept going this smoothly we'd get in even before they know were there. We move in a little more each time Lita and Ray take out patrol guards. In the end I made the girls use a trank dart…I don't need innocent blood on my hands, even if they do work for my old bosses…I've already got enough infected blood as it is.

We get closer and more patrol people fall down, like flies it's awesome as well as creepy to see them fall. My question is what's so big here that their guarding it like this? As the girls take out the last of the guards we hurry to the only visible entrances before looking inside. I see a few of the patrols on the floor so I sneak in.

Thank god I'm a flexible and strong little thing or else that 2 inch crack in the window would not have worked out to my benefit. I open it up the rest of the way for Darien and Malachite to follow through while Nephrite decided to get Lita and Rays back while they acted as our obvious outside cover.

Armed and extremely dangerous we go in…
