Twenty-Eight

"Dean told me what happened," Castiel spoke in his usual raspy voice. He turned his head to the left moments after Lily appeared beside him. "Zachariah sent him into the future and you followed him."

"I'm his sister," Lily answered. She sat back and watched the children running carefree around the playground, laughing and giggling. "He called, I answered. It's simple. I just didn't expect Zachariah and his loony toons to trap me there with a fucking sigil with enough power to black out a whole city."

"May I?" Castiel asked as he placed his hand against her head.

Lily gasped as she felt Castiel touch her Grace again. He skimmed over her memories, pausing when he found his future self and her together. The angel immediately pulled away, a glazed look on his face.

"I did not expect Dean to trap you in holy oil," Castiel frowned.

That was not what Lily was expecting him to say. She grabbed his hand and squeezed gently, "listen Cass…I'm gonna tell you something and it's ok to be all terminator when I do because I don't expect you to understand but I love you."

He stared at her with his deep blue eyes, searching for some kind of sign that she was going to make a joke out of it.

"Lucifer is walking the earth," she spoke, "Michael's itching for a fight, God's missing but he's messing with the two of us. Even for angels life is short and I just think you should know that I love you. Always will."

Castiel remained silent.

Lily sighed inwardly. Well this is awkward, she groaned. "Have you been able to-"

Castiel cut her off when he kissed her.

Someone walked passed and muttered something about disgusting public behaviour as the two kissed like teenagers.

"I want you," Castiel murmured. "I don't understand this feeling, human bodies are so complicated."

"Tell me about it," Lily replied. "I've lived in a human body long enough to understand its wants and desires but it's different when someone you love is involved."

"I love you," Castiel informed her.

Lily grinned. "Did you wanna go somewhere more private where no one can reach us?" she asked him.

"What did you have in mind?" he asked.

"My caves," Lily answered. "The water is fantastically warm this time of year, so clear it just looks like you're floating on air." She nuzzled into his neck and sucked softly on the tender flesh between his neck and his shoulder.

When she pulled away from him, Lily grinned when she saw the familiar cave walls around them and the moonlit water. She pulled her jacket and shirt off, followed by her jeans and boots.

She could feel his eyes lingering on her, burning straight into her back. Lily smiled to herself as she slid out of her underwear with her best seductive glance back at the angel before she dove straight into the water.

Lily surfaced and looked over at Castiel. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to join me?"

He licked his lips. "I'm admiring the view."

"Well why don't you admire from a littler closer?" she smirked.

Castiel walked towards the water, he clicked his fingers and his clothes melted away. He mumbled something about unnecessary clothing before gliding over towards her. "This is warm," he smiled. "No wonder you like it here."

Lily kissed him. "When I was a kid I used to come here during the night when my dad was away on a hunt. I read it in a book when I was like four. I thought it was so pretty."

"It is pretty," Castiel smiled. "Even prettier because you're here."

Lily groaned at the sound of that cheesy line. "Have you been getting tips from Dean?"

"Do you really want to talk about Dean right now?" Castiel asked when he nibbled on her ear.

She quickly shook her head.

Castiel pushed her up against the soft limestone that filtered the water cleanly into the crystal pool. He planted kisses all over her face and neck. "Put your legs around me," he told her.

Lily smirked, she wrapped her legs around him, sliding onto him at the same time. She gasped and closed her eyes as a moan escaped her mouth.

Castiel placed his forehead against hers, pushing open the gate between their Grace. He could feel both their wings out around them, enveloping them in some kind of feathered cocoon.

They moved their hips in a circular motion, nothing but the sound of moving water and their feverish moans. This Castiel was more silent then the other Castiel but he was also tender.

"I want you to bond with me," Castiel whispered into her ear.

"Come again?" Lily moaned.

"Bond with me," he groaned.

"Marry you?" Lily whispered.

Castiel stopped moving. "Yes. You know what the bond means…I want to always be able to feel you, know where you are. The kind of bond that helps a soul mate find another."

Lily gently kissed him. "Yes."

He grinned and started moving again.

Lily held him close to her and closed her eyes, everything from thoughts and feelings were running through her into him and from him to her. She placed her hand around Castiel's wrist at the same time he gripped her wrist. They stared at each other, never breaking their gaze as a bright white light surrounded them and searing pain shot up their arms and straight into their very being.

They both came at the same time their Grace finally touched. The pain in their bodies fading away until the only sign that it had been their remained in the form of the Enochian for bonded appeared on their wrists.

Any angel that saw them would also see the other with them. No one could come between them now, not even death.
