I do not own anything except my characters!

Please review! Thank you for reviewing shadowoftheblackdeat! Thank you for the kind words again, especially about my description of his eyes. I tried my best :) Also thank you for your review Proxy reader…even though I have no idea where it went or what happened to it but I got an email of it, but for some reason it didn't show up anywhere else. Thank you by the way :D Also, I have figured that as the romantic side of this story comes into effect, Pyramid will become OOC, obviously because people do not know of his character as being romantic and loving. I have a plan on how this will work, and i will reveal how later :) hahaha lovin the title though, getting that song stuck in people's head XD "WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DONT HURT ME. DONT HURT ME. NO MORE!"

Chapter 20: What is Love?

Pyramid's POV

After finishing dressing, I stand still, facing Hecate as she stares back at me from upon the bed.

Sitting up, the small human female covers herself with the blanket as if shamefully, she seems to be coming to her senses about all that just happened.

"…I'm sorry I acted that way just now…"

I chuckle very slightly at her words

'If anything it was quite amusing to say the least.'

She seems to become confused by my words.

"…You're not upset…? Angry…? I called your eyes terrifying…" She says in a quiet voice.

'Not at all, I am only angry about the fact you did not allow me to finish.'

Her face begins to turn a bright red, I know very well that if I wanted to finish in her so badly I would have.

…what held me back then…?

"…If you want to you can…" She says in the same quiet voice, though it seems even quieter now.

'If I would, it would not be here.'

"Why not? Yes your bed may be more comfortable than this one…but there is no other difference…"

It is amusing how she believes it is the beds, it is not. Though she is right, the bed in my lair is a lot more comfortable to lie upon, but I would greatly prefer taking her to my lair than doing this here. It is just how I prefer it.

'I do not need to explain my reasoning.'

"Is it because you cant tie me up here, but you can there? Is it because nothing will hear my screams down there, but they can here? Is it becau-" I cut her off by putting my hand over her mouth, grabbing her out from under the blanket and shoving her roughly but ever so gently against a wall in the bedroom of the apartment, my body against hers as she is between myself and the wall, her legs placed around my hips. Helmet to the side like it was when she seen my eyes, only so it is not in the way. Neither I nor her can see each other's eyes right now as the angle is one of the many incorrect ones.

I speak within her mind in a deep, alluring voice, 'You believe I cannot tie you up and torture you here? You are a fool if you believe so. And also, I prefer it if other creatures can hear your screams I force out of you…'

Her face darkens a deeper shade of red as she seems to be trying to catch another glimpse of my eyes, which ultimately fails.

"…N…No…you can…I'm sure…O-oh…okay…"

Her stuttering and lack of speech forces a smirk to appear upon my hidden mouth in amusement.

"…Uh…" She looks away from me and at the ground, seeming to be struggling with her words. "….This might sound very…stupid…but…have you ever…loved…someone…?"

'Loved?'

"Yeah, its where two creatures are affectionate towards each other…to the point they enjoy each other's company…also to the point where they would want to create a family with them…"

'I believe not. The only person I have ever been close to is Alessa. But I do not wish to…create life….with her. As that is impossible.'

"Impossible? How? Is she like…not able to have children…?"

'I do not want to think about her in that way. And it is not her. It is me.'

"Oh, then you must love her as family…you? You cant create children…?"

Slowly I place her on the floor, backing away from her.

'Yes. Oddly enough, I have came close to creating offspring, but it never works out.'

"…Oh…what happens?"

'Pregnancy occurs, the live remains only for a few months at the most, as it then dies after.'

"…How many of these have you had happen before?"

'Six.'

"…Oh…were any of the mothers…human?"

'One you would not consider human, but she was at one point. You may meet her eventually.'

"Once human? Like she was transformed?"

I nod, she then speaks again.

"Did you have feelings for her? Like you do with Alessa? But more intense?"

'No, we used to use each other for sexual release as she is not as dry on the inside as the other creatures are here. She is more…human, I would say.'

"…Oh…" She then looks at her hands, then she moves and gets dressed, after she finishes she speaks again.

"Can I visit Alessa?"

'Why do you wish to?'

"…Just girl things…Please?"

I sigh as she then smiles and heads to the door as I follow.

…I wonder what she means by 'girl things'…do I even want to know…?
