Kell glared at Harpe as he poofed himself into their bedroom at the worst possible moment.
Lily squeaked and tried to cover herself, but Kell held her firmly in place. "Is there any way you could not be here for this?" Kell growled. It was very strange to talk to an image of himself in a former life. Kell shook that thought away.
Harpe shrugged. "In the past, Perseus would request that we remain in weapon form. No eyes. No ears. No physical connection to my guardian. We still sense your emotions. But, that would provide more privacy."
"Sounds good. Please do." Lily rushed out.
No sooner had her words left her lips than the man returned to smoke and floated to a table to solidify as the golden blade.
"We need to remember that one." Kell grinned as he watched her. "Did he ruin the moment?"
His hands cupped her face and she nuzzled into his left palm. "No. But, he did wake me up enough to wonder why I am nearly naked and you are still fully clothed? We must remedy that."
Kell smiled as he grabbed her hips to shift her onto the bed while he quickly took off his clothes. She watched as she chewed on her lower lip until he was completely bare to her view. Her cheeks darkened more as she watched him prowl his way back toward her.
In that moment, he was predator that she knew him to be. And she trembled.
He crawled his way back up toward her, parting her legs as he kissed and nibbled at the insides of her calves and thighs. Lily's back arched at the contact. Her head swam as he nibbled at her hip bones while he slid her panties off of her body. Kell's chest still lay between her thighs, opening her to his gaze.
There had never been a more incredible sight. Lily lay under him, naked, and exposed. Kell's mouth watered for a taste of her. He lowered his head to run his tongue in one long, slow, lap through her feminine folds.
"Oh gods!" She screamed out.
He chuckled. "You are very wet, love. But, as much as I want to stay there…" He crawled up her body more. "I didn't get to really sample here yet." And his mouth took in one taut nipple.
Lily bucked and moaned under his delicious ministrations. Kell savored every sound, every reaction.
Lily's hands fisted in the sheets. She had never known pleasure like that. Her body screamed for more, but the magic he wove was so heavenly, she didn't want it to stop. Every stroke. Every grazing of teeth. Every sensation sent electric shocks straight to her core. Her body hummed with the intensity of his care.
She didn't think that anything could be better, until he slid a long, tapered, finger into her body. He slowly moved his finger inside of her and she lost all control.
"That's it Lily. Come for me."
Her back arched high above the bed. Her muscles all tightened. She screamed in her head as everything exploded. However, she made no sound. She couldn't even breath, until the final damn broke loose and her body trembled as the floods washed away.
Kell caressed her cheek as he watched her regain her breath.
"Oh wow." Lily was at peace. But, she wasn't about to let everything end. She pulled his face to hers and attacked his lips. When she pulled back, they were both breathless. "How can I give you the same?" She asked.
Nipping at her jaw and ear, Kell chuckled. "This time is all about you. You can worry about me another time." To his surprise, she pouted. It was so damned adorable. He pecked her lips once more. "Lily. You have no idea how much it warms me to see that reaction. But, your first time should be focused on you. All of this helps to get you ready and eases the pain."
His care and concern only made her heart swell. She truly could have found no better man, ever.
"I have already faced pain." She held up her hand to show her scar. "I don't think it would be worse than this. You don't have to treat me like I am fragile."
Her hand reached down to cup him. He moaned at the feel of her skin on his. Lily used her other hand to push him until his back was on the bed. She slid down to explore his manhood. She listened to his whimpers and moans. When she heard a sound of pleasure, she repeated it. It wasn't long before his hips were bucking into her hand as her other hand caressed his most tender tidbits.
Kell gasped out. "Lily, please stop. I don't want to come yet."
Her hands slowed to a stop, but before she moved, she curiously lowered her head to lick at his erection. Kell hissed in pleasure.
She was surprised that the taste of him didn't bother her as much as she thought it would. And his reactions were definitely worth exploring that further. However, before she could pursue that train of thought, Kell had pulled her to him for another scorching kiss.
This time, he slid two fingers into her body as he slowly pumped in and out. She whimpered when he broke the kiss, only to scream out when he dropped his mouth to her most sensitive anatomy. Her legs wrapped around his shoulders as he made her soar in new heights of pleasure.
As he felt her body tighten, drawing closer to her climax, Kell moved up her body. He used his thumb to still rub her sensitive bundle of nerves as his fingers slid in and out of her.
He looked deep into her eyes. "Are you sure about this?"
She nodded. "Like a bandaid. Don't go slow."
With her consent, Kell replaced his fingers with his erection in one powerful thrust as he pinched at her nerves.
She groaned as she tried to hold in the scream of momentary pain. But, she felt so full. So, on fire. Gods, how did she not explode into an orgasm from the pleasure of feeling him connected so intimately? His name ripped from her lips.
He stopped as she slowly regained her senses. Lily's eyes met Kell's. The worry was so touching. She smiled at him. "I love you."
He let out the breath that he had been holding. She was alright and not in too much pain. "I love you more than I can say. I didn't want to hurt you."
"It was intense. That's all. But, I want you here." She tightened her legs around his hips.
He kissed her softly as she slowly started to rock himself in and out of her body. She was so tight, so warm. Kell had to fight his climax from happening too quickly. His pace constantly changing to increase pleasure and then back away from the edge.
Yet, all too soon, Lily found her release and the feel of her body milking his, sent him toppling over as ribbons of pleasure erupted through his body.
They collapsed into each other's arms and allowed sleep to finally claim them.
The next few days were spent in a blur as Lily and Kell savored each other in every way they could think of. In every part of the suite they stayed in. Lily giggled when she pointed out that there was a billiard table in their suite. The only time they left was to eat dinner.
Kell wanted to take Lily out every night. He was alright with room service for breakfast and lunch. They ate out on the terrace, enjoying the sun. Kell didn't think he could ever get tired of the sun after centuries without it.
However, he wanted to be able to date her. Not just run straight from a crisis into living like a married couple with no life. She deserved the romance and effort.
They were getting to head out for the night. They had both taken a rather long and steamy shower together.
After running into Vane the night before, he had suggested a higher end restaurant down a few blocks. So, Kell had stopped and purchased a nicer pair of slacks and a black button down shirt. He was rolling up the sleeves as Lily stepped out in a black and white lace cocktail dress. The under dress was crisp white under the black laced the covered it all. The top was off the shoulders, but connected to half sleeves of black lace. The dress cinched in under the her breasts, in an empire waist, with a red patten leather belt. And finished off with matching red patten leather pumps.
Kell shuddered at the sight. "You know, those dresses seriously get me all hot and bothered."
She grinned. "Really? So, should I start wearing dresses all the time."
He quickly nodded as though she had just asked a child if they wanted to open their Christmas presents.
He pulled her into his arms. "You look so elegant. And yet, all I can think about is sliding my hands up underneath the skirt and making you moan." His hands inched up the skirt.
Lily stepped back. "After dinner."
Kell whimpered. "So, not fair."
They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Kell looked at Lily briefly. She was just as confused as he was. They hadn't ordered room service. Something felt very off.
Kell pulled out one of his swords. Before he approached the door.
Only feet from the door and it splintered.
A tall blonde man stepped through. The power that rolled off of him was that of a god. Though, he wasn't as strong as others that Kell or Lily knew.
"How did you get in here?" Kell roared. Acheron had placed all kinds of protections on the room for them until they could get some training on their powers.
The god tilted his head and threw a bolt of lightning at Kell. It hit him in the chest, but it did not hit his heart.
"Harpe, I need you in human form. Now!" Lily yelled as she ran toward Kell.
The image of Perseus appeared in front of the god. And he was ready to battle.
"Zeus." Harpe snarled.
Lily and Kell looked up.
The Father of the Gods, in the Greek pantheon glared at Harpe. "How dare you take the image of my son."
Harpe tilted his head. "Is it an insult to look like Perseus when you try to kill him?"
Zeus rolled his eyes. "I can't kill you. But, your former connection to me did help me get in here."
Harpe shook his head. "You misunderstand us. You just tried to kill your son." Harpe nodded to Kell. "Or did you not pay attention to who he became in his reincarnation?"
Zeus stopped dead in his tracks. His lip curled. "My son became a Dark-Hunter?"
The weapon shrugged. "Looks like your daughter knew more than you did."
Lily could see the flash of anger in Zeus's eyes before he pushed it away.
"You belong to me." Zeus stared at Harpe.
"No. You gave us to Perseus. He is dead and reincarnated. Now we are bound to Lalita. We will defend her."
Zeus threw a god bolt at Harpe who simply watched him. Unfazed.
Three women stepped through the door. Triplets. In all black. With murderous intent.
Zeus smirked at Lily. "Some goddess. You can't even defend yourself. You don't deserve a weapon of this power."
Kell pushed himself up and charged for the women. A second version of Kell showed up and joined into the fight. Harpe jumped into help. Three against three. As the clash of weapons rang in the air, Zeus moved his way around the fight. Kell threw one of the Phonoi at Zeus's feet. But, he only stepped over the woman. His eyes never wavered from Lily.
Lily and Kell had opted for a short honeymoon type vacation before starting their training. At that point, she was starting to regret that decision. She didn't know how to use her magic yet.
Harpe called out. "Magic is intuitive. Think of what you want to do."
Her mind raced. What would be the best choice? She was tired of the fighting and danger. Really, she wanted to go home and feel safe, like when she was little…
"Lily?" Her mother screeched as Lily popped into the middle of her parents living room.
"Fuck!" She didn't want to bring danger to her parents. Nor did she want to leave Kell or Harpe behind. "Sorry mama. Didn't mean to scare you. I will explain later." She hugged her parents. Then she focused on returning to the fight.
Kell growled when he saw her. "What happened?"
"I ended up at home." She grumbled. Then she focused on Zeus once again. "And you are seriously pissing me off."
The god arched a regal brow. "You think that scares me?"
Kell chuckled as he ducked another blow from one of the Phonoi. "I would be if I were you."
Zeus curled a lip charged for her. However, he did not make it.
Lily glared at him, frozen in place. As were the women. "See, what you don't seem to realize is that I am only scared when I feel out of control. The second you piss me off, I gain control. And you seriously crossed that line."
She looked at the Phonoi and returned them back to Olympus. Though, Lily didn't know the area to give a clear description, so she settled on dropping them into some random pond. There had to be a pond or fountain there. Right?
Then she looked around the room and all of the damage done. She quickly fixed everything, including the door.
Then she looked at Zeus. "I am strong enough to defend myself. And if you come after me, Harpe, Kell, or my family again. I won't let you leave in one piece."
Then she added him to the pond on Olympus.
"Now, how do we sever whatever connection he has with Harpe that let the bastard in?" She growled.
Kell wrapped his arms around her. "For a moment, I thought you left us."
She smacked him in the stomach. "Haven't you learned that I always come back?"
He grinned. "Did you really go home?" Her cell phone started ringing.
"Yeah." She sighed. "I don't quite know how to explain this to my parents. I mean, they did just see me pop into their house and pop out again."
She moved to answer her phone. Kell stopped her. "We do it together. Take me with you and we will do what we can, side by side." He said.
Lily couldn't imagine any better man in all of history.
