Chapter 29
Ruby woke up, her body aching and hurting, but somehow she felt good. She was warm, and comfortable, and happy, for the first time in months. Slowly she rolled over, the light in the room soft as the rain fell outside, giving the air a blue glow. She turned and smiled, seeing her man snoozing soundly beside her, his technicolor hair drifting in front of his face.
Ruby moved her hand slowly, reaching out to move the hair so she could watch his face. It had been so wonderful being with him, like the sun rising over the horizon every time he walked into the room. She felt cared for, loved, and it all was strange and new and wonderful all at the same time.
Her hand brushed his face, feeling that softness of his cheek hit her skin that was bruised.
She was just a complete mess, she was bruised, torn, battered and abused. She was a whole lot of problems mixed in a giant bowl of emotions. She ran away from happiness and killed kindness with harsh words. And even after all her stubbornness, he still loved her.
Ruby smiled, knowing she loved him back.
Suddenly Aghony's eyes opened, and that brilliant smile she had fallen in love with crossed his face. His arms automatically pulled her closer, her face buried into his firm chest.
"Morning" he said into her.
"I think it's afternoon" she said smiling.
"Same thing" he muttered.
Ruby looked up at his face, a dopey grin spread across his lips as his eyes closed to her.
God she loved him.
Ruby quickly went up and planted her lips on his, her body pressing against him hard.
"Whoa" he said breaking the kiss "I thought the doctor told you to take it easy."
"Nothing's easy with me" she said laughing. Aghony rolled on top of her softly, letting his body ease into her. "I've noticed" he said looking into her eyes.
Ruby watched as he really looked at her, his eyes trailing over her and looking back into her eyes intently. She felt a shiver of want cross her body, and automatically her legs wrapped around him. Aghony bent and kissed her, his hands moving into her hair, feeling the softness tangle in his fingers. He moved up, pressing himself against her, letting her know he wanted her no matter what state she was in.
Ruby broke the kiss and took off his T-shirt, letting it fall beside the bed as he also removed his boxers. Ruby wrapped her arms around his next, trailing kisses down his chest as he held her close to him. He took her face in his hands and kissed her gently before laying her back down on the bed, his hands working over time as the touched and caressed her softly. She loved this part about Aghony, he could be wild one minute and then the gentlest lover the next. And right now, it felt wonderful the way he was handling her.
She moved her legs, wrapping them around him so he slid into her perfectly. Aghony let out a growl as he moved inside of her, slowly rocking her body against his. Ruby held on a bit tighter, letting the passion take hold of her, no longer wanting soft and slow. Aghony responded to her body instantly and moved faster against her. She gasped as he grabbed her from behind and rocked harder into her, her nails digging into his back as he covered her in his scent.
She felt the tipping point coming and Aghony felt his fangs grow the more he went into her. Ruby saw this and for the first time the thought occurred that he needed blood.
"Bite me" Ruby whispered into his ear. Aghony stopped and looked down at her "Are you sure?"
"Yes" she said, her eyes never leaving his.
Aghony dipped down softly, his lips touching her neck, kissing it softly before his fangs sunk into her skin, her blood running into him soft as he moved inside of her.
Ruby felt the pain, but relished the feeling after she felt him losing control on top of her. Her blood tasted like heaven to him, the taste as luxurious and divine as her scent was. He lost himself for a minute, letting himself pump into her hard as he took her blood in him.
Ruby climaxed, her body shivering as she cried out, his body coming into her and taking all of her, body and soul.
Then Aghony was back to reality as he pulled out of her, cleaning up the wound in her neck and he collapsed on top of her.
He felt his heart beating a million miles an hour, her blood like cocaine in his system.
"You alright?" Ruby said looking down at him.
"Yes" he said in breathes "Are you?"
"I'm perfect" she said as he moved beside her.
"Good" he said cuddling into her. Ruby responded by cuddling even closer to him, their bodies becoming one under the covers.
Then, a knock sounded at the door.
"Go away!" Aghony said laughing, holding Ruby tighter to him as he let out a growl.
Then, Faolan busted in, and Ruby screamed covering herself.
"Jesus!" Aghony said moving on top of Ruby.
"Sorry dude" Faolan said laughing "I thought you were just joking."
"Well as you can see I'm not" Aghony said growling.
Faolan covered his eyes as he tried to stop giggling "Your dad wants to see you."
"Fine! I'll talk to him in a bit" Aghony said exasperated with his friend.
"Now get out!" Ruby yelled while trying also not to laugh.
As Faolan left Aghony rolled off of Ruby and sighed heavily.
"I think we need our own place" Ruby joked as she sat up, getting the T-shirt off the ground.
"You would actually live with me?" he said motioning his hand around "With all this crazy?"
"It's not so bad" Ruby said laughing "At least he doesn't hit on me anymore."
"He knows better now" Aghony growled sitting up "You gunna be okay while I'm out?"
"Sure" Ruby said walking towards the bathroom to clean up "I think I'll look for Lassiter, I haven't seen him yet."
"Alright" Aghony said getting dressed "I'll come looking for you when I'm done okay?"
"Alright!" Ruby said waving him off as she closed the door.
Aghony scoffed for a minute and walked over to the door, opening it right as Ruby began brushing her teeth. He walked right up to her, taking the toothbrush out of her hand and kissing her hard on the mouth.
"I love you" he said smiling.
"And I love you" she said kissing him again.
Aghony left, feeling satisfied and went to find his father.
He found Phury in the study, sitting with a book, although his face looked troubled.
"So what have I done now?" Aghony said in the doorway.
"You haven't done anything" Phury said closing the book "But you will after I tell you what the Brotherhood said."
"Alright" Aghony said, already getting defensive.
"What have you decided about being the Primale?" Phury said looking at his son.
"I'm not going to do it" Aghony said shaking his head "I can't just give up on Ruby, not now. I love her, and she loves me."
"And what happens when Ruby goes away?" Phury said, looking worried at his son.
"She won't go away" Aghony said shaking his head "She said she wouldn't."
Phury stood and looked at his son before coming over and placing both hands on his shoulders.
That's when Aghony knew that something was wrong.
