I hope you are continuing to enjoy this story. I love these two so much. This chapter is mainly smut, so I hope you don't mind. Would love to get some more reviews as it really helps me to keep motivated. I have been having some motivation troubles lately. Thanks!


When Aria awoke in the morning, she had almost forgotten that she was back in California, at her childhood home, and that the night before she had just introduced her parents to the love of her life. Not only had she told them of their love, but also of their prophecy and of the soul mate connection. She knew they would have questions still, especially her father, but she would handle those as they came.

She looked over at Lucius who was lying on his side; his back facing her and she was glad he had apparently slept comfortably through the night. The large balcony doors in her bedroom were wide open, and despite it being November, the morning was a comfortable enough temperature for the air to have been let in all night and morning. That was the one thing she missed about Los Angeles the most; the never-ending summer.

She spooned Lucius from behind, her warm, tiny body pressed up against his back as she buried her face into his silky blonde hair as she breathed in his manly scent, which comforted and aroused her beyond anything else. There was something almost taboo to her about being in her teenage room with this older man whom she adored and lusted after so much. Although her room currently barely left any traces of her teenage years, there were still small items of her school years left over and the overall feeling of the two of them in here, naked together, was very forbidden. Oh did it excite Aria greatly.

She began running her fingers lightly up and down the length of his side, back and shoulders and she tenderly reached her arms around so that she embraced him as she then ran her fingertips over the strong planes of his chest and abs and then down to his perfect hip bones and muscles and then finally his glorious cock, which was already slightly hard from morning wood. She grabbed his hardness firmly and felt his body tense a bit and then heard deep within his chest a low, guttural moan of pleasure from being woken up so tantalizingly. He allowed her to continue her ministrations of his body as her fingertips felt like liquid velvet over his awakened skin until suddenly, he flipped to his other side so that he now faced her so he could look upon her. The look in his eyes was one of love, lust and almost questioning; almost as if he wondered what exactly was on her mind. He was tempted to utilize some wandless magic so he could open up their mental connection but she spoke then to him, softly and seductively.

"I was just thinking to myself how forbidden this all feels…being alone with an older man…in my bedroom where I grew up…feeling things that I feel whenever I am with you," she said as she unintentionally licked her lips and looked up at him through hooded green eyes.

Lucius body shivered in molten lust at her words and it truly did feel very, very forbidden. Their age difference had always been quite noticeable, but it was truly on full display now, and although he should have felt guilty in a way, he felt anything but that; he felt his dark side coming out and it made him want her even more. "You naughty girl...," he said huskily.

"Is it bad for me to desire you like that?" she asked as she continued caressing his skin with her fingers.

Lucius didn't verbally respond but instead drew her in even closer, for a crushing kiss that took her breath away as she felt his soft tongue enter her mouth and dance around her own tongue seductively. He then broke the kiss suddenly, looked into her lust-filled eyes one more time briefly before he made his way down her body, to her sodden core, which had been becoming increasingly more wet since she began touching his body all over.


About thirty minutes later, Aria lay perfectly still, her legs spread wide open, her hair a mess and her skin flushed a light pink from the amount of pleasure she had just received from her man. She had the biggest grin of satisfaction plastered across her face and as she opened her eyes she saw Lucius looming above her with an equally as satisfied grin on his face, his lips still shining with her pleasure that he always refused to wipe off.

"I think my answer to your earlier question is no; it is not bad for you to desire me like that. So long as it's not bad for me to cave to temptation and take you, such an innocent young thing, as I just did with my mouth…" he smirked.

"That was the farthest thing from bad," she replied back dreamily.

"Mmm," he responded. "Now…perhaps we should get up before we end up staying in here all day ravishing each other. I wouldn't want your parents to accidentally hear anything animalistic coming from your bedroom."

Lucius did have to admit her parents being in the house only made the whole situation seem so much more forbidden and even slightly dangerous. He felt young, like a teen, having to sneak around and be quiet with a secret love.

The two lovers dressed before heading downstairs for breakfast. Aria put on a beautiful lace white dress with a denim jacket on top and Lucius looked stunning in a pair of form-fitting navy blue slacks and a white button-up shirt that he left un-tucked, his hair looking perfect as always as it shined down his shoulders and upper back. Aria had never seen him dressed so casually and yet he looked as stylish and stunning as ever.

As the two made their way into the kitchen for some breakfast, Aria already noticed both of her parents awake and busy with their mornings. Aria's mother smiled at her and Lucius as they entered the kitchen together; the two of them clearly being a stunning sight to her mother's eyes.

"Good morning you two," she said as she began fussing over them by getting them some coffee. Diana looked back over at the pair. "My goodness, you two are just so beautiful together."

Aria blushed and Lucius smiled his gorgeous, charming smile and bowed his head slightly in a humble thank you. Diana looked down at her hands as she poured them their coffees, clearly flustered and dazzled by Lucius' charm.

Aria then looked over into the dining room, where they had eaten last night and saw that her father was in there, bent over a stack of books, his hair slightly disheveled, as he didn't even register Lucius and Aria had come downstairs.

"What are you studying so intently Dad?" Aria asked curiously as she walked over to stand behind her father.

Adrien looked up suddenly, as he just realized he had company. "Oh, good morning Darling," he said as he looked up at her with bloodshot eyes and then looked over to Lucius. "Lucius," he said politely as he smiled kindly over at Aria's love. "Have a seat you two…I have actually been trying to see if I had any history about you both or your mysterious prophecy in any of my books."

Aria and Lucius sat opposite Adrien and Aria then spoke with slight concern in her voice. "Dad, have you seriously been up all night?"

"Yes!" her mother slightly shouted from the kitchen, as if clearly not pleased at Adrien having stayed up all into the night and morning.

"I just still couldn't process or even really believe the story you told me last night Darling," he said softly as he ran his fingers through his hair in disbelief.

"You don't believe me? Don't believe us?" Aria replied, slightly hurt that her father doubted her.

"It's not that I don't believe you my dear, it is just that…well…my main question I have that keeps floating around in my head is why? Why you specifically?"

Aria looked at her father with questioning eyes. She didn't know if she should be hurt by that comment or not. "What do you mean 'why me'?"

"I mean, why would that destiny and prophecy chose you? Why did it skip so many generations in our family? Or was it the combination of your mother and my genetics that played a key role in this destiny choosing you?" her father mused allowed; clearly vocalizing all of the questions he had been pondering all night long.

Aria understood his confusion and his questions but she knew deep in her heart it truly had nothing to do specifically with anyone's genetics. It really was that her and Lucius were always destined for each other throughout time; in all of their lifetimes.

"Well, just based off of everything that I have discovered and seen about our love and our past…I don't think it really has anything to do with skipping generations specifically," said Aria as she tried to put into words how to best describe how she knew all of these things. "I think Veela blood does have a role in it however, in both of our families…but I don't think it is something so simple as a generational attribute….I think that it would always have been Lucius and myself,"

Aria became flustered, clearly not knowing exactly how to put into words what she was trying to say or mean. Lucius saw her frustration and calmly took her hand in his and then spoke his thoughts on their prophecy and connection.

"I think what Aria means, is that it was always bound to be us, and while the De La Cours and the Malfoys are families that consist of long lines of generations, this soul mate bond that we have is specifically destined only for us, throughout each of our lifetimes. And while Veela blood in your family, and mine, does play a role, this special phenomena that we experience is only and forever meant for us," said Lucius eloquently.

"And you believe in past lives?" asked Adrien.

"Of course, don't you?" Lucius asked as if it was a normal thing to believe in.

Adrien shrugged his shoulders and closed the book he had been digging through, clearly deflated at finding anything more relating to the subject.

Aria knew that in the United Kingdom, where magic and the Wizarding World was a lot more ancient and rooted in mythology than its American Wizarding counterparts, that Lucius had been born and bred to take high stock and belief in the mystical arts and in prophecies. It was true that in America, the Wizarding World was a lot more casual and modern, and thus, such stories and myths could be seen as quite impossible, even for a magical person.

"Besides, Dad, I don't think we would have any books here at home that would explain the truly amazing prophecy that is our love…it is too ancient," said Aria as she thought of the hilarious comparison between their library here and Lucius' epic library back at the Manor. It could never compare.

Aria's mom then came into the room and settled herself down at the table with everyone as she contemplated her thoughts on the matter before she addressed her husband. "I think Adrien, we should just be so completely thankful that we have such a special and rare daughter, with powers even we don't possess, and that she has also found her true happiness and the love of her life. It was destiny she went to England to find this man."

Aria smiled over at her mom. Her mom truly understood; perhaps it was because she was an emotional and often times dramatic woman, but she just seemed to truly accept it. Her father had always been more scientific, and perhaps even skeptical of many things in life, despite him being magical himself, but she knew with her mother's support, he would come to accept as well.

Adrien smiled, as if finally giving up on his skepticism, but still shook his head in wonder at it all. He couldn't believe his daughter had grown up to be one of the Wizarding World's most enchanting myths come to life. It both shocked and amazed him and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for his daughter.


After some breakfast and answering of more questions, Aria told her parents that she would be taking Lucius to visit the Solemmari School, her alma mater. She wanted to show him her old stomping grounds, just as he had shown her his magical world of Hogwarts. She knew her school wouldn't be able to compare to the glory that was Hogwarts, but she wanted Lucius to know every bit about her. Plus the villa and the grounds were stunning, and overlooked the beautiful Pacific Ocean for as far as the eye could see.

Lucius had also told her after breakfast that he had a surprise waiting for her as well and her skin prickled with excitement and anticipation. Whenever Lucius said he had a surprise, it was always magical.

Instead of apparating straight to the school itself, Aria insisted that she take one of her parents' cars so that she could drive through the streets of Los Angeles and then through the twisting canyons of Malibu so that Lucius could get even more a feel for Los Angeles life. Aria of course opted for her father's Mercedes convertible, as it would allow them to slide the roof back and enjoy the perfectly temperatured air of a Southern California November.

Lucius couldn't help but smile as he saw Aria's excitement of getting behind the wheel of the rather beautiful car. Even Lucius was impressed with the luxury of the muggle item. If there was one muggle invention he could appreciate, it was a nice car. As Aria drove them across the hills and colorful streets of Los Angeles, their blond hair and celebrity like beauty drew a lot of attention from the drivers around them, but the two as usual, only had eyes for the other.

Aria loved seeing such a casual Lucius against the backdrop of the sunny California mountains and streets, his button up shirt rolled up at the sleeves, his gorgeous hair tied behind his neck and the sun shining upon him. However, she did realize with a little smile to herself that he was still out of place, and that England would still be the place he belonged the most. And now, forever and for always, England would be her home as well. Being home in California now just didn't feel the same. She had thought she would always one day come back to California; perhaps work at one of the many museums in Los Angeles, but after her almost four months of living and working in England, and then finding the love her life (and her many other lives), there was no question about it; England was where she belonged and would stay until the day she died, by Lucius' side.

After driving through the winding canyon as they crossed over from the busy Los Angeles streets, to the secluded and almost wilderness type setting of Malibu, Lucius leaned forward in his seat to take in the remarkable view of the green sprawling mountains to either side of them, and in front of them, the most spectacular view of the deep blue Pacific Ocean.

"It is rather stunning," Lucius said aloud as he took in the view. Aria smiled widely at his approval.

"We are almost to Solemmari. Just wait and see, it is simply stunning."

Sure enough as they got closer towards the end of the canyon, Aria turned an abrupt and immediate left, which slightly jolted Lucius, as he clutched to the side of the car.

"Sorry! That part is always so sudden! This road is hidden to muggles, and if you don't know where to look you could miss it too! I haven't been here in an age, so I almost missed it myself," Aria giggled as she drove them up another winding hill.

Lucius seemed to laugh out slightly nervously as she drove them higher and higher up another hill. "Must all roads in Los Angeles be so damn winding?"

Aria laughed and reached out one of her hands to put on his knee as she stroked it comfortingly. "No…only in Malibu," she smirked. "But look."

Sure enough Lucius saw a beautiful villa coming in to view, with its stark white walls, Spanish style burnt orange roof, and white marble columns all around. It looked like a Greek or Spanish pleasure palace. It was stunning as it was surrounded by lush green mountains and palm trees, and the all encompassing view of the Pacific Ocean was a mesmerizing deep blue color, as the magic from the school seemed to amplify the colors of their surroundings. Aria parked the car outside of the grand iron gates, which appeared to be closed and locked, and Lucius then wondered if Aria hadn't realized the school was closed for the holiday weekend.

Aria saw his look of concern but then smiled softly. "Don't worry. Once a Solemmari student, always a Solemmari student," she said as she laid her hands gently on the lock, which immediately opened at her touch.

"And they don't mind we are here?" Lucius asked. He knew Hogwarts was a school that was always open to its students on the holidays, but he wasn't sure how it was at her school.

"No, of course not. Some students may have even stayed back for the holiday. Just like Hogwarts," she reassured him. "Now common. I can't wait to show you," she said as she grabbed his hand tenderly and led him through the open gates and up the small dirt path towards the front entrance of the school.

For a few hours, Aria showed Lucius the ins and outs of the school, as she held his hand the entire time. For once Lucius truly felt free; free to be holding hands with the love of his life with no questions, no press or paparazzi and no having to look behind his back for signs of sabotage. It gave Lucius a sense of calm, and perhaps it was the mix of the breezy sea air that seemed to permeate the school or the fact that the grey and white marble hallways had a serene feeling to them, as the large glass windows surrounded them all around giving them a 360 degree view of the ocean; all in all, Lucius could see that going to school at Solemmari truly must have been a special experience and he could see how the experience of attending this small school contributed to Aria's warm and calming personality.

Lucius learned that unlike Hogwarts, Solemmari had no individual houses. Everyone at the school wore the same colors in their uniforms, and although Aria told him that there was friendly competition amongst in the athletic programs at the school, everyone knew at the end of the day they were all a Solemmari student. The few people Lucius and Aria saw at the school; some students and some teachers, gave them warm smiles as they passed by, giving them no mind as to why they were there. As Aria had said down when they first drove up to the villa, no muggles could penetrate the wards that surrounded the school and only a true Solemmari student, alumni or teacher could be granted access.

"Now for my favorite part of the whole school," she said with a glint in her eye as she led Lucius out into a gorgeous courtyard; the school surrounding them on either side, with a giant pool of a fountain stretched out in front of them. It definitely reminded Lucius a lot of his gardens back at the Manor, with the perfectly manicured hedges and rose bushes and fountains. He could now see why Aria loved his gardens so much. She led him to the end of the courtyard, which opened out into a large stone overlook area, which gave them an endless view of the sea. It was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was just beginning to set and the light cast a burning orange glow across the deep blue water.

Lucius just looked out at the gorgeous scene for quite a while, mesmerized by its beauty. The sight of so much beauty reminded him of how he felt every time he looked at Aria. It was as if she had all the beauty of the sun and the sea in her soul.

"This view is almost as beautiful as you," he said as he turned to her with a smirk and his own glint in his eye.

"Lucius," she said as she slightly rolled her eyes at the cheesy line; although she adored it with every fiber of her being. She leaned in closer to him and embraced him as she laid her head against his shoulder and stared off into the distance at the never-ending ocean and lowering golden sun.

Lucius held her as he felt more at peace than ever. "You know this school is rather romantic. It's a wonder you never fell in love here, with this setting as your backdrop…" he mused aloud.

Aria chuckled a bit at his thoughts. "Oh, that is something that never even crossed my mind here, I can assure you. There was no one here at this school that…piqued my interest. No one was ever the right match…. until you of course. You are the first and only man I will fall in love with," she said confidently as she turned to face him square on.

"And you are the only woman I have ever truly loved," he said as he brushed some of her hair behind her ear and cupped her face tenderly as he leaned in for a romantic and soul-melting kiss. As he pulled away from the kiss he looked into her eyes and was practically frozen at the sight of those green depths with the reflection of the golden sun burning in the middle. "Thank you for showing me your beautiful school, my love…but now I want to take you to your surprise before the sun officially sets," he said looking out towards the horizon as if he was running out of time.

Aria smiled, eager to get going to see what her surprise was. "Okay, let's get the car," she said as she began leading him back towards the entrance.

"No; I'll apparate us there…it'll be quicker. Plus a car won't be able to reach where I am taking you," he smirked.

Aria cocked her head in even more eagerness and bit her lower lip in anxious anticipation.

"Don't worry my love, I will apparate us back here after to retrieve the car. For now, hold on tight," he said as he brought her in close, so he could apparate them to his intended destination. Aria acquiesced immediately, and with a pop, they were off.


They landed firmly on a hard surface. Lucius held on to her tightly, his feet were sure and grounded but she immediately felt whatever she was standing on was moving and swaying beneath her feet, and she immediately clutched tighter to Lucius by instinct, not knowing what was happening.

"It's okay my love. Open your eyes," he said as he tried to pry her arms loose from his midsection.

Aria slowly opened her eyes, but remained glued to Lucius as she tried to balance her footing. All around for as far as the eye could see was vast ocean; the color a purple-ish blue against the gold of the setting sun. She looked around at what she stood on and gasped as she realized her and Lucius were standing on the bow of one of the most luxurious and impressive yachts she had ever seen.

"Lucius…oh my….oh my god!" she said, sounding so incredibly American it was laughable. Lucius, in fact, did laugh at her reaction.

"Surprised?" he asked with a wicked smirk upon his face. He knew he had done extremely well.

"Yes!" she said as she turned around in a slow circle taking in the glorious yacht and the 360-degree view of the ocean. How did he get it all the way out here without having left her side? It was already anchored and docked and there was already a sublime dinner of oysters and charcuterie prepared waiting for them set up on a blanket next to where they stood. Candles lined all around the bow of the boat and twinkling lights lined the railing on all sides. "But how?!"

"My dear, you know I have the best connections…those connections aren't limited to just the UK…. plus someone owed me a favor," he said slyly.

Aria decided that she wouldn't press him for more information about it right now. She was too stunned at his romantic gesture.

Aria looked at her lover, he stood there proudly in his light button up shirt, his muscular forearms, chest, face and hair almost glowing in the sunset. He was beautiful, he was pure magic and he was hers.

"Thank you Lucius. This is so amazing," she said with so much love in her eyes.

He bowed his head slightly, as an acceptance of her appreciation and he motioned for her to sit with him on the blanket at the head of the boat. The oysters were incredible. Chilled to just the right temperature and flavored delicately, so as not to mask the natural flavors. Aria and Lucius ate in complete bliss as they sipped champagne and watched the sun sink lower and lower into the horizon of the ocean.

"You know they always say oysters are an aphrodisiac…" Aria laughed as she looked at all of the empty shells of eaten oysters.

"As if I didn't know that little tidbit," Lucius joked. "However…I don't think we ever have need of added aphrodisiacs when it comes to our love," he said as he put down his glass of champagne and leaned in to kiss her slowly. She tasted sweet and salty on her lips, from her natural taste mixed with the saltiness of their dinner. Lucius never thought much on the old wives tale about oysters being an aphrodisiac, but now as he kissed his love sensually and slowly, he felt himself growing increasingly hard, finally it got to a point where it was rather painful being restrained in his pants. He ached to be released, and it made him rethink about the aphrodisiac aspect.

As he kissed Aria like there was no tomorrow, his left hand soon found its way to her velvet skin of her thigh. She was wearing that white lacy dress he adored so much and his hand snaked its way up her inner thigh until it rested at her warm core. Just a thin, lacy layer separated his fingers from their goal, and he nimbly ducked his fingers under the thin fabric and sighed out a moan of delight as he felt her wetness directly upon his fingertips. She was soaking and it delighted him to no end to hear her scream out into the vast nothingness around them as she felt him begin to slowly circle her clit with his drenched fingers. He leaned them back so that he embraced her against his body with his right hand, as his other hand continued its work of driving Aria nearly insane with the pleasure of his amazing fingers upon her.

Soon though, he heard Aria's soft voice in his ear whisper, "Now let me…" and before he could ask what she meant, she had managed to position herself above him so that she now straddled him. She immediately stripped off her jean jacket and dress, and then squirmed out of her lace panties, which were now completely soaked from Lucius' touch. As she was stripping Lucius had began unbutton his shirt, and it now lay open, revealing his gorgeous muscular chest and torso. He began to reach down to his pants, to release his straining cock, but Aria beat him to it and her hands were already at his button and zipper, and he breathed out a sigh of pleasure and relief when his cock sprung out of his pants, finally free of its constraints.

Aria smiled to herself at the sight and bit her lower lip in anticipation, something Lucius always adored when she did. "Now to pay you back for this morning," she said seductively.

Of course Lucius remembered this morning; he had given her divine pleasure with his mouth, his absolute favorite pastime; and he absolutely never expected anything in return, as it was his absolute pleasure to give her orgasm after orgasm. Before he could protest, or tell her repayment wasn't expected or needed, he felt her warm mouth engulf the upper half of his iron-hard shaft. Her wet, skilled tongue swirling magically around his head. He moaned out into the air around them, the only other sounds to be heard were the lapping of the soft waves against the side of the boat. They were the only two beings for miles and miles

Aria's sweet mouth loved Lucius like she never had before. She adored his taste and his girth in her mouth was all encompassing and made her smile internally at how virile and big he was. She wanted to make it last and so she made sure she took her time with him. Swirling her tongue around his head, stroking him up and down not only with her mouth but also with her hand. She would look up at him every once and a while and see that he was staring with grey hooded eyes up into the sky, as if he was looking into the gates of heaven themselves. As the sky faded an even deeper shade of purple-blue, silver stars began to show themselves, scattered across the early night sky. It was rare to see stars in Los Angeles, but Lucius had docked the yacht so far out into the Pacific Ocean, that the cosmos above were crystal clear.

He barely made any noise, as she continued swirling her tongue around him and sucking him, his eyes were now closed tight however, and little sighs were escaping his lips with regularity. He was getting into a rhythm and if she didn't stop soon, he would be past the point of no return.

Soon Aria heard her name escape his lips almost urgently. "Aria…Aria…" he said as he put his right hand gently under her chin to stop her motions.

She looked up at him as if confused why he had stopped her. He had been so close. But then she saw the need in his eyes; he wanted more of her.

"Need all of you," he practically whispered out into the night air.

Aria said nothing but raised her body up so that she straddled his hips and slowly lowered herself onto his throbbing and ready cock.

Again, he made no louder sounds other than a sensual sigh, as his eyes closed once more. He seemed to be at such peace, that he couldn't bear to make any sound that would disrupt the intimate moment of their contentment together. She moved slowly on him; not wanting to put him over the edge she already knew he was so close to, thanks to her earlier ministrations. As for her, the slow and steady movement of her hips, going up and down, brought her increasingly up to his level of pleasure, as she could feel every large inch of him with every hitch up and down of her hips.

The steady and consistent motion was heavenly but soon she felt Lucius grab her hips firmly and in one solid and swift motion he had somehow managed to flip them over so that she was now on the bottom and he was on top. He didn't slip out of her at all during this impressive move of his and Aria smiled up at her lover with stars and wonder in her eyes. The moon had made its debut as well, and the light from it shone behind his platinum head, causing it to look like he had a glow of a halo surrounding him. He didn't know it, and he would never agree with it, but he was an angel in that moment to Aria. Despite his past and his reputation, he was good. Aria couldn't stop smiling up at him, and he answered her with a silent smile of his own.

His pace picked up as he thrust into her more urgently. He had been at the precipice for so long now, ever since she had sucked him to perfection before they combined bodies as one and he knew he needed his release soon…but not until she had hers.

While his thrusts were more fast then before, he made sure he thrust deep and firm each time, filling her up to the brim with his manhood, causing the base of cock to rub up against her clit perfectly with each thrust. They had been in quiet bliss, but now with Lucius' perfect technique drawing Aria closer to her orgasm, her sighs became moans, and then those moans became screams of pleasure.

Lucius remained quiet still, but the look on his face screamed lust as his eyes burned with a glow of passion and his brow furrowed into one of pure concentration, not only for getting his love to her bliss, but for holding on to release his own as well. If there was one thing for certain about Lucius Malfoy however, it was that he was an amazing lover, and within moments Aria was clutching to his pale back, as she shuddered and quivered all around him, her orgasm coming out in endless waves of pleasure.

Lucius looked down at the exquisite beauty underneath him; it was always the most beautiful thing in the world to him when she orgasmed; and to know that he was the one to do that to her only made him more aroused and hard. And it was finally then that he let loose and sped up his thrusts to practically inhumane speed, as he began letting out moans of the most masculine pleasure and power.

His quick movements inside of her, made her scream out again as she continued to ride out her deep orgasm and soon enough, with the stars above shining brightly, Lucius came into her, powerfully and intensely. Aria reveled in his absolute surrender and release as he practically collapsed on top of her as his seed continued to shoot up into her and she held him tightly.

As Aria held him and stared up into the night sky, it reminded her of a French saying. The French often call orgasms "la petite mort;" the little death. And she could now definitely see why. Every time her and Lucius made love and made each other it felt like the two of them would each die from the pure pleasure of their connection only to be reborn and made into better versions of themselves.
