By the time morning came, Sarine was stretched out between her husbands. She was very warm, and it was starting to get uncomfortable. She had agreed to wear Howard's tunic and Keltin's large pants in case Seyren tried to walk in on them, and that was the main reason as to why she was overheating. It was easier to be nude between them with the way they warmed her so much, and she felt the need to peel back the covers to move.
Keltin had pulled her over to him in sleep, and she woke practically in his arms. Blinking awake, she got up slowly to keep from waking either of them to head into the toilet part of the bathroom. After that, she started to stretch out her limbs to help cool herself off. She found herself pausing, as she thought she saw something out of place. It caught her eye, and she turned to face a small corner of the room.
"Who is there?" she asked lightly. Not getting an answer, she frowned. Something, or someone, was watching me. Narrowing her eyes, she silently called over Muninn and used the skill of Detect. Her mouth dropped, as she revealed Eremes in a crouched position in the corner.
"I forgot you had that skill," he chuckled quietly, as he straightened up.
"What are you doing in here?!" she hissed at him.
"At first, it was only to check on you. Now...you are addictive to watch," he admitted. No longer human, his ghostly form poured mist out from every crevice of his body. She blinked at him in both outrage and amazement.
"You...would watch me?!" her mouth dropped. "And my husbands, too?"
"At times. Mainly just you. Karla is sleeping and has no need of me. How else am I to help keep you safe, if I cannot know what is going on?" he smiled.
"But...Howard and Keltin will wake up at any moment!" she whispered.
"What do you think Cloaking is used for?" he chuckled and quickly moved for her. She was too stunned to resist him when he planted a hot-blooded kiss on her lips. He sparked her passion like a lit match, and it sent an explosion of lust through her. When he pulled away, she gasped for air. He was no better, but able to recover a touch quicker now.
"You are crazy!" she hissed. He just chuckled, as his form encased her against a wall.
"Hmm. You should be wearing my clothes," he grumbled and slowly started to push off Howard's white tunic. She blinked at him and gasped.
"What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What about Karla?"
"Karla? My dear, sweet Sarine..." Eremes said with a light smile and a sigh. "Karla won't let me touch her. She wants a true ceremony. Yes...we are married. However, you see, it matters not. You...were...are...my first and only at this point in time."
"But..." Sarine was losing her argument. "my husbands..."
"Yes. Your husbands. When it should only be...me..." he tensed, as his hands now moved to remove Keltin's pants. He wasn't even touching her skin now, and they were both sweating with prolonged bouts of pleasure.
"H-how is this p-possible?!" she asked, as she whimpered from his very presence.
"You...were meant to be mine..." he said. He started to tug off his clothes.
"But...Howard..." she was trembling. A small chirp made them both swerve to look at her falcon. At first she noticed nothing different, but then she saw the eyes. The eyes were like that of a raven's. Muninn understood the situation and was granted permission to help.
:I glow. More time. No glow. No time.: Muninn whispered in their minds, and his body started to glow. Time seemed to slow down considerably at first. Now everything seemed to stop in place, as though time was completely frozen.
"Thank you!" Eremes said in a rushed whisper. Muninn seemed to wink, as he settled down to sleep. The glow around his feathers was quite bright now, but, in time, they would dim to nothing. That would be the signal that time resumed.
"He made us a timer?!" Sarine was amazed now.
"I had better use it wisely, then. Or should I say...we?" Eremes grinned, as the last of his clothing fell to the ground. That was when they both paused. Muninn was granted the ability to make him human again for this moment. Sarine had never seen him nude before. His body was wiry, lean and tough just like she thought it was. The moment he moved closer to her, he was forced to pause. Their very presence to each other was searing heat. Finally, he moved swiftly to pin her against the ground and take her. She screamed out her passion, her body arching from the intense heat. He shouted after her, collapsing right onto her. He was just as powerless against the heat, and he could only cling to her as she was to him.
She was whimpering in his embrace now. He struggled to pull her up to sit on him and barely succeeded. She arched on him, and they both cried out again. His hands were clamped in a vice-like grip on her hips. Neither of them had experienced such a heat wave between two people before. Every gasp of air she took was pure torment. Every touch that they did to each other was exquisitely painful, yet pleasuring at the same time. It was an overkill of pleasure that they did to each other. It was the same pleasure that assaulted them in the dressing room and on the floor of the cavern. Only this time, it was a full explosion of searing heat.
"This...can't be..." Sarine managed to choke out her words.
"What?" Eremes hissed out, as he moved quickly to sit on the ground with her in his lap. Still locked within her, they both cried out at the movement, and he crushed her to him to help ride out the pleasure.
"This...shouldn't be happening...so much..." she gasped in his embrace. His mouth found hers and another harsh bout of pleasure ripped through them.
"Valkyrie...she said you were...to be mine..." Eremes breathed out, as he kissed her again. His mouth found her neck, and she arched back as pleasure rocked them again.
"She...she did?!" she gasped when the wave ended.
"Yes!" he grounded out, as he managed to breathe again. "But...fate twisted on us...changed it..."
"Because I left...the Novice Center?" she was trying to calm down, but it was impossible when she was this close to him. Every touch he did to her was agonizing pleasure. Even to him, she was like holding molten lava once again. If they were in a bed, it wouldn't have lasted very long. They would have ended up on the floor, since the heat would have been far too much.
"You...shouldn't...have...left...!" he snarled, as he thrust into her sharply, forcing them both to cry out again, but at a much sharper pitch. The pleasure finally started to ebb away. They were both quivering intensely, as they held each other. Aftershocks coursed through them at a constant pace, and they were both whimpering from it.
"Eremes..." she trembled uncontrollably.
"Say...you love me...Sarine..." he whispered to her, as he nuzzled her neck.
"Why?" she trembled from another aftershock of pleasure.
"Because...you know you do..." his mouth found hers, and a kiss of possession and branding lust was given to her. Holding her close like this made him want to never give her up. He would never be able to be like this with any other woman.
"I..." she hesitated and looked at Muninn. The glow was dimming out.
"Please...Sarine..." he whispered, as he tilted her face up to his.
"I love you...Eremes..." she whispered, and he kissed her deeply, grinding into her a final time and letting the pleasure course through them again. On crying out with him, the last of the passion between them had finally run its course.
"I had better dress..." he whispered, nuzzling under her chin.
"Of course. I'll...likely take a shower," she whispered.
"Next time, I'll shower with you," he chuckled.
"Well, I need to shower to explain why I'm so hot," she smiled softly. "Howard and Keltin are so alike that they even think the same! I need to be able to explain my heat wave to them easily. The shower will help with that."
"True. Until tomorrow morning? Or...any time presentable?" he whispered, as he kissed her passionately and full of loving possession.
"If that is what happens now," she said with a small shrug. They managed to break away from each other with a sharp gasp, and she watched him dress swiftly. His human form changed back into his monster one, as he moved. He helped her into the shower, and he kissed her deeply one last time before Cloaking. He made his way out of the room after that. At a glance at Muninn, the glow was completely gone now, and she heard Howard waking in the other room. The steam from the shower had started to cloud up the small room quickly. It would help explain why the area was so hot. Letting the water soak into her hair, as she started to scrub herself clean, she didn't even realize that Howard had stepped in behind her and hugged her.
"Hey!" she scowled, and he chuckled, planting a kiss on her mouth.
"I missed you," he whispered to her, as he helped her wash off. His form was that of his monster form, but he had been practicing and showed her that he was able to become solid to a point. The misting seemed to pull back into his skin most of the way.
"Wonderful!" she said excitedly, as she hugged him. "Do you think the others can do that, too? You think they can?"
"Unfortunately not. Since I am your husband, other than Keltin, and I am needed to protect you as much as possible, only I was given the ability to do this. However, it requires absolute focus to do so."
"Practice makes perfect?" she said, as she turned to face him, her hands running over his chest. He shivered and quickly lost focus.
"Cheater!" he growled and pulled her close to kiss her. "Why are you so warm?"
"Shower, remember?" she chuckled.
"No. I know what a shower feels like with you now. You are at a point that warm turns to hot. Why is that?"
"Well, if you must know," she sighed. "I was overheating in bed being between the two of you, and I had to get up. Apparently, it's best to sleep naked between you two. It warms up pretty fast. Especially in the spring. I dread the summer!"
"Really?" he asked. It was one of the main reasons she had left the bed to begin with, so it was a partial truth.
"Should have told me, too," Keltin grimaced, as he stepped into the shower.
"Oh, dear!" she giggled.
"Well, since we are both here," Howard chuckled. "any ideas on what else we can do?"
"I had a very interesting idea in mind," Keltin grinned. Sarine burst into laughter before she was silenced by them for the next hour.
