Hi all! Sorry it's taken longer than usual. Haven't been feeling very inspired lately. Another smutty chapter, but very magical and romantic. Warning that it does have "interesting" romantic scenes as before when these two were back at Hogwarts. With Halloween coming up I just couldn't help myself. I find it oddly hot...sorry! haha.
Anyways please do review. It REALLY helps motivate me to keep writing.
Thanks!
Lucius and Aria had spent another day in California before they made their way back home to England and back to the comforts of their Manor. Lucius had truly enjoyed spending time in California with Aria, getting to know her parents and her past, but he couldn't help the feeling of immense comfort at being back home. It had been so many decades of feeling so uncomfortable, so cold, in his Manor, that it was always such a surprise now at how much he looked forward to coming back home and just being free with Aria to do as they pleased and to live happily.
The only room that had still seemed tainted was the drawing room, and if Lucius could magically eliminate that room from his Manor and his life, he would have been only too happy. However, as the first day of the month of December came, Lucius' mind and heart about the room couldn't help but change slightly as he saw the warmth and love Aria had put into the room. The whole day the young, bright witch happily began decorating the entire Manor for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Everywhere she could, she had strung beautiful fresh pine garlands and had enchanted romantic, soft glowing lights to sparkle and shine amongst the greenery.
Magically made ornaments in brilliant shades of gold and silver hung all about and the typically darker hallways of the Manor gleamed with holiday cheer and light, even Lucius himself, who usually detested Christmas, couldn't help but slightly smile at how much Aria adored Christmas.
That December 1st, the morning that Aria had gone on her decorating spree, she had awoken Lucius by cuddling up close to his body and kissing him all over. As he turned to her groggily, but with a smile on his face, he saw the excitement in her eyes as she immediately asked him if they could go cut down some trees in the forest that bordered his home to use as Christmas trees for the Manor. Lucius had protested at first, saying he absolutely abhorred Christmas, but he couldn't deny the pout of her lips and the puppy-dog eyes she gave him, and so with a sigh, he of course acquiesced to her request; he would never deny her of anything she truly desired.
And so, as the first light dustings of snow began to fall from the sky, the couple had walked hand in hand, across the vast gardens of the Malfoy Estate, and into the nearby forest, which had an ancient air about it; an ancient air that was full of magic. The two didn't have to wander far, as Aria had spotted her three perfect trees immediately. They were each about twelve feet tall, and were such a vibrant green, they reminded Lucius of Aria's equally as vibrant eyes.
Lucius smirked at her enthusiasm as she pointed at the trees that she desired, and with a swish of his wand, the three trees were cut perfectly at the base and levitated in mid-air so that Lucius could have the trees follow them magically back into the Manor. Aria had offered to help levitate the trees, as levitating objects could surprisingly be very taxing, however, he simply shook his head and smiled as he lead the way back to the Manor. Aria followed him along, giddy and smiling the whole way, her excitement only being enhanced by her first real snowfall experience. Aria had told Lucius once that she had never been to the snow, or even seen actual snow, something which practically made his brain explode with shock when she had told him, however after their Los Angeles trip, he could see how snow never would be possible in a place like that.
When the two emerged back into the warm embrace of the Manor, the two smiled at each other as they stood in the entryway to the vast house. Lucius adored how Aria's cheeks and nose were tinged a bright pink from the nip of cold and snow from the outside, and Aria admired Lucius just as much as she saw the soft flakes of snow beginning to melt into his almost as white hair.
Aria had told Lucius of her vision for where she wanted the trees. One tree was to be placed in the grand entryway, and so it was there Lucius put the tallest of the trees. This magnificent tree would greet them as they went in and out of the Manor, bringing them joy as they left and came back home. Aria asked the next tree to be put in their favorite room, the library, where they spent a majority of their time cuddled up by the fire, working, and very often, making passionate love on every available surface. The last tree, Aria had asked to be put in the drawing room. Lucius froze when she had said that was where she wanted her last tree.
"No…no I don't think that is a good spot my love…" he had said hesitantly.
"Please," she said as she put a comforting hand on his arm. "You'll see…it'll be beautiful."
Lucius still had made no move to put the tree in that dreaded room, but the look in her determined eyes told him she wanted to prove to him she could remake that room into something beautiful and happy once again, and so rather reluctantly he put the last tree by the grand fireplace in the room and immediately walked out; he would let Aria work her magic as he avoided the room at all costs.
After her decorating spree, Lucius couldn't help but admit that her holiday cheer had brought such a warm feeling to his cold soulless feeling he usually got around the holidays. It just further proved that being with Aria would change his perception of things and that his horrible past was ever slowly fading away to his bright future. Even the drawing room felt different, when he went to see what magic she had done inside the room he smiled broadly as the whole room glowed a sparking gold from the lights on the tree, to the floating ornaments, to the crackling fire, the room was a completely different place.
Lucius held her close as he admired her work and he kissed the top of her head.
"You brought your light to the Manor, and it is beautiful," he said romantically.
Aria smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder as she held him back and admired her work. The whole Manor smelled divine, like a crisp winter's forest and fires crackled in every room, warming up the place with a comfort that sank deep into her bones. She was happy Lucius approved. She wanted to bring him some holiday cheer for once and she was glad her decorating had warmed him a bit to the thought of a happy Christmas.
The days went by and Aria happily had a brief cavalcade of work flow in; mainly from Lucius' high-up connections with the richest of pure blood families, who wanted to have some last minute artifacts analyzed and preserved to determine their rarity, so that they could be later given as impressive Christmas gifts. Aria was summoned directly to the other grand manors of the Wizarding World in England. Every epic home she went to was a delight to her senses as all of the homes directly appealed to the historical side of her brain. So many rare and special artifacts were at her fingertips and although she was used to being around so many amazing things at Malfoy Manor, it was a special treat seeing some other impressive homes of the upper-crust Wizarding Society.
Aria did her work diligently as she catalogued and analyzed the items, however she couldn't help but feel as if she always had eyes watching her or that she was secretly only hired so that the ladies of the fancy homes could have some gossip to talk about. Aria was, after all, the young love and fiancé of the infamous Lucius Malfoy, and many of the families wanted to see what all the fuss was about. How such a young girl from America could cause such a stir in their high society. Aria was sure Narcissa must have been spreading slanderous lies, to go along perfectly with all of the rumor mill articles about her and Lucius that appeared so frequently in the Daily Prophet and other newspapers and magazines of the British Wizarding World. Some articles were merely nosy, but not cruel, while other stories about her had been downright psychotic. One story on her had even gone as far as to suggest that she had placed Lucius under some sort of spell or, ironically, the Amortentia potion. That one struck a nerve with her; she had drank the Amortentia potion in her adventure down in the Department of Mysteries, but as she and Lucius knew, the potion affected her and him differently. It hurt her to know that rumors were being spread that she somehow had coerced Lucius into being with her. If only people knew the true depth of their love and their connection. Lucius and Aria had told the world their truth at his very public trial after his arrest, and now it was up to society on whether or not they wanted to believe it. And so with that mentality at the forefront of her mind, Aria confidently ignored the rumors and the stares and the whispers as she worked diligently and always treated everyone politely and gave warm smiles.
It didn't take long for her friendly personality to win a lot of the purebloods over however. Whether it was her natural charm, her beauty or just her confidence in herself, she soon heard less and less whisperings and over the weeks during her times at the other mansions, some of the residents of the grand homes even chatted with her friendly as she worked, almost as if she had been apart of their society for ages. She soon began receiving not only her payment for her actual work she provided them, but also began receiving little Christmas gifts of her own as a bonus. Although she knew the purebloods could be downright gossiping, horrible people, once you had been accepted into their folds and you had their friendship, one got not only their support but also their generosity in gifts. At first she denied the extravagant gifts, as they felt too much, too unprofessional to be able to accept, but the families never took "no" for an answer; it wasn't something they accepted or heard much in their class.
Aria couldn't believe some of the items she had received; a ruby and ivory broach from the Victorian Era, silk and lace fans from her favorite 18th century era of France and many rare and spectacular books. Lucius was pleased that Aria was being recognized not only for her hard work but also for her being accepted into the folds of the upper-crust society. Aria had always thought of these families as a different class than her, but she soon realized that she was now apart of the upper class as well; as she was to marry Lucius, the wealthiest Wizard of all. It was an odd feeling, but one she was quite grateful for though, as she knew many others could never dream of being as well off. It was quite humbling.
On December 20th, after a few weeks of working non-stop, Aria finally came home after a long day of researching and cataloguing a private library full of rare books; glad her holiday break was finally starting. She found Lucius in their own library, where he usually was when she arrived home. The lights from the Christmas tree caused a warm golden glow to reflect off of his platinum hair, along with the light from the fire. He looked beautiful reading peacefully to himself, his white button up shirt rolled up at the sleeves, and his long slender legs crossed in front of him. Aria smiled at the sight of her man and instantly went over to where he sat and kissed him long and hard. He smiled faintly up at her and put his book down; he seemed distracted however and Aria noticed that little crease in the middle of his eyebrows he got when he was in deep thought. She didn't press him about what it was initially, as she put down her heavy bag and parcels that she had been given as gifts from the last family she had worked for.
"I got more gifts," she sighed out half grateful and half embarrassed. It still felt so unprofessional to accept such items from her clients. She opened the smaller parcel and pulled out a beautiful golden orb, which she realized was an ornament, as it had a string attached to the top. Inside the orb danced a tiny ballerina made from shining porcelain. Aria stared in delight at the beautifully enchanted gift and went right over to the tree and hung the ornament right in the front, so she could always look at its charm and beauty.
As she opened the next package, she gasped when she pulled out a very slinky and seductive black lace lingerie set.
"Oh my," she gasped as she immediately dropped the lace creation back in its box as she looked up at Lucius quickly, waiting for his reaction.
He simply raised an eyebrow in her direction and a slight smirk played across his lips. So he wasn't mad it seemed, but his raised eyebrow definitely did ask its own silent questions.
"I swear nothing has been going on!" Aria instantly jumped to the defensive. The gift had been given to her from her older client, Reginald Fawley. He was an old widower who lived alone in a grand mansion and had clearly been very lonely, as he often talked with Aria as she worked. Nothing he had ever said or done in her presence had indicated that he was anything but a nice old man, but he had clearly been daydreaming unbeknownst to Aria as she worked. It was all the more surprising too, since he knew she was engaged to Lucius, as she often talked about her happiness with Lucius openly.
Lucius came over to where she stood and chuckled to himself, as he picked up the delicate lace garment in his large hands.
"I swear my love, I would never have guessed that Mr. Fawley would have had this in mind. He was such a nice old man, of course I was nice to him, but I never did anything to lead him on, you have to believe me I-" Aria rambled as she tried to explain the inappropriate gift.
"Aria, it's okay! It is actually sort of amusing," Lucius said as he let the lingerie slide out of his hands and into the package it came in. "I am just amazed someone as old and ancient as Fawley could have had such nice taste in ladies lingerie…"
Aria went in closer to Lucius so that she could put her arms around him and her head against his chest, almost as if still trying to reaffirm him that she had nothing to do with such a ridiculous gift. "He knows I am engaged! I talk about you all the time and how much I adore you."
Lucius wrapped his arms around Aria comfortingly, letting her know that he paid the gift no mind. "I am sure he doesn't mind that you are engaged. Extramarital relationships are common in pure-blooded society. Not talked about openly of course, but accepted none the less…the old man must have thought he could have a chance at you," Lucius said as he rolled his eyes and laughed.
"Well I never want anyone else besides you!" Aria said as she held Lucius around his middle tighter.
"And I you," he said romantically as he kissed the top of her head sweetly. "As for this though," he said as he picked back up the box of lingerie and immediately tossed it into the fire, which made Aria gasp. "You shall only wear lingerie that I buy for you or nothing at all," he looked down at her with a grey fire in his eyes.
"Yes sir," she said with a smirk of her own as she looked back up at him. However she was quickly caught breathless as she stared at him. His eyes remained locked on hers and he suddenly became very quiet as his fierce grey gaze pierced her own. They were a dark grey, but shined like fire, they almost looked an otherworldly black. His jaw was clenched as he focused his gaze on her as his eyes feasted upon her face and then down a bit to her neck then back up to her eyes. The little crease between his eyebrows reappeared as he was clearly in deep though about something. Aria's right hand instantly went up to his face to caress it gently.
"What is it Lucius?" she asked concerned, as her green eyes studied the harsh features of his beautiful face.
"I…." he began, as he acted as if he was too afraid to continue on with what he was thinking and wanting to say.
Aria, now growing concerned, instantly grabbed his hand and led them back over to the comfort of the couch in front of the fire.
"Tell me," she urged him. "Is it the lingerie? What is it?"
"No of course not," he said as he slightly laughed under his breath as he looked into the fire where the remnants of the black lingerie set singed away. He was clearly nervous to tell her what it was he was thinking. He looked back at her then, his face instantly becoming fierce and serious again. "It's just that tomorrow is the Winter Solstice…one of those nights our powers and our bond will be most powerful again…like on Samhain."
Aria breathed in a deep, shaky breath as her stomach twisted into a delicious knot at the thought of their last coupling that had occurred on one of the special magical nights of the year. It had been the most erotic night of her life thus far, and just the word Samhain, or Halloween, sent her mind into a fantasy tailspin.
"I hadn't realized the solstice was tomorrow; I've been so occupied with everything else…" she mused as she looked off into the fire as she took Lucius' hand in her own. "We should go someplace…a place of magical significance like the standing stones in Scotland, so our magic can be amplified again. I bet it would feel even more intense if we were to be back at the standing stones on such an important night."
"Yes, I was thinking I would like to try that," began Lucius, his jaw still clenched. "I think I would also like for us to utilize our wandless magic as well during that night; open up our mental connection. The feelings we could feel would be limitless. I can only imagine what it would feel like when our powers and connection is so amplified," he said as he closed his eyes almost in orgasmic bliss as he thought about what it could feel like; gooseflesh rose on his arms, causing Aria's skin to tingle and rise on its own accord.
"Yes," she practically whispered as she longed for it to be tomorrow evening so that she could experience the heaven she knew she was bound to feel. She looked up at her lover with excitement and passion in her eyes, and yet he still had that strained yet fiery look in the set of his expressions.
"What is it my love? Something has been on your mind since I have gotten home…"
"Well…during the solstice tomorrow…I would rather like to…" he stopped mid sentence, but them slowly raised his left hand up to cup her cheek and then let his fingertips brush lightly over her flushed cheek, and then down, so that has fingers stroked the soft skin of her delicate neck. He let his fingers rest lightly on her neck, the warmth of his touch radiating across her skin.
Aria's heart fluttered. She knew what Lucius meant, what he wanted, and what he had been so strained, and perhaps even ashamed to ask. He wanted to drink from her again; her blood. Her skin buzzed again with another round of gooseflesh as she thought again of that night back at Hogwarts, when their connection had been so intense not only from their soul mate bond, but also from the power of that magical night of Samhain. It aroused Aria to no end to know that he had enjoyed that crazy night as much as she had and that it had remained of erotic interest to him. Most people, wizards and humans alike would have found the act completely vile, but to Aria and Lucius it was primal and soul bending in the way it made them feel connected.
"I want that too," she said almost immediately. The thought of being able to taste him again made her want to do the act right then and there; to be able to drink in his blood that tasted of the sweetest vanilla and spice, that perfect combination that felt like she was drinking the stars and the moon itself. "I need that."
The strain in Lucius' face instantly dissipated and his broad, beautiful mouth broke out into a satisfied grin as he let out a sigh of relief.
"I had been debating whether or not I should bring that up, as I wasn't sure how you would feel about trying that again…but as the solstice has been getting closer and closer…I find myself…craving you…and more than just for your body as I usually do…I wanted to consume you into me again."
Aria's breath caught in her throat at the eroticism of his words. His dark, hooded gaze and his hidden desires were all so dark and sexy and she couldn't help but lean in close to kiss him deeply, opening his mouth with her own and allowing their tongues to dance around each other, moans escaping both of the lovers.
As she pulled away from kissing him to catch her breath, a thought occurred to Aria.
"Lucius…will our bodies be able to handle that much pleasure? Not only will we be at a magically charged place on a significant magical day, but we will also be using our wandless magic mental connection as well as drinking each others' blood…that is four things that have always been beyond orgasmic to us. That much power and connection…can our mortal bodies handle that much feeling?"
Lucius pondered her questions. He knew the power and emotions they would feel tomorrow night would be unlike anything they had ever experienced before; which was saying something because the two of them always found ways to bring each other more and more pleasure and grow their connection to unbelievable heights. Could their physical bodies truly comprehend what they were about to experience? Lucius didn't know…and he also didn't care to question it. He had to have her in every significantly magical way possible tomorrow night.
The two soul mates went to bed that night without making love and instead just held each other as they waited for the Solstice to begin the next day. They were sure it would be a mind-blowing night and as they faded off to sleep, they could already feel their bodies slightly vibrating with the magic that coursed through their connected souls.
Aria and Lucius awoke the next morning full of a brewing power they could both feel in their bones. Throughout the day, the two said little to each other, but instead mainly communicated in looks of longing and touches of passion. Their bodies called out for each other, and the fact that they hadn't consummated on the day yet sent their bodies into overdrive. Aria felt as if her senses were 100 times more powerful and aware then usual, and she noticed as it got later and later in the day that both of their blond heads had begun glowing with the first dim lights of their connection. On these special days of the year, the couple didn't need the Lumos Interius spell to light up from within; the magic of the day caused it to happen naturally, like it did on Samhain. Aria knew deep in her heart that it was the Veela bond that they shared that caused this glow to their hair and skin.
Lucius had told Aria that he had a special place in mind for them to join as one for that night; Aria hadn't asked where, but she secretly hoped it would be back at the Calannish stones in Scotland where they had first experienced their mystical physical connection. And so as the sun began setting, rather early it was as the Winter Solstice was the shortest day of the year, Lucius took a hold of Aria by the waist and pulled her in tightly against his body; Aria could already feel a slight erection pressing up against her pelvis and her body shuddered in delight at how ready Lucius was for her.
"Ready?" he asked huskily as he breathed in her scent in the crux of her head and neck.
"Mhm," Aria nodded almost silently.
Lucius immediately apparated them to the location he had set in mind for them that night. It was almost completely dark when they landed solidly on the ground, and it was completely silent for miles and miles. Aria blinked slightly, her eyes adjusting to the darkness and for a moment she thought he had indeed taken them back to the Callanish stones. However, as her eyes adjusted and she saw the stone circle in which she stood, she realized it wasn't the towering monoliths of Scotland, but smaller stones that surrounded them, with dark mountains surrounding them on all sides as if they were in their own little magic box.
"The Castlerigg Stone Circle in Keswick; a bit more closer to home but still just as magically powerful," Lucius said again with his husky voice that was thick with readiness and need.
Aria had dressed warmly, but just as it had been back in Scotland, the magic of their bodies and the stones around them created for a perfect environment and she didn't feel the chill of the winter air at all. Her body pulsed with her own desire and she noticed her and Lucius' internal glowing light becoming more and more apparent as their powers and want for each other was at its precipice. Without saying a word, she began undressing, removing layer by layer of her winter clothes. Lucius' eyes never left her body as she undressed and he began doing the same as he removed his thick black robes and woolen suit until his alabaster skin, glowing white with magic and moonlight, was revealed. Aria's breath hitched in her throat at his beauty, and his gorgeous cock which was now completely hard and pulsing with need as it stood up straight and hard and proud.
"Come here," he said urgently as he pulled her in close again so that their bodies pressed up hard against one another and he knelt them down to the grass so that they were both on their knees facing each other. It must have been the magic of the place but the grass beneath them didn't feel scratchy or rough, but instead felt like silk strands underneath them, supporting them. "I am going to open up our mental connection by doing some wandless magic by placing some silencing spells…just incase," he smirked.
Aria knew that no one would hear them, as they were miles and miles away from civilization, and she also knew that while Lucius was putting the spells in place as a precaution, he was mainly doing it so that he could open up their connection.
"Protego maxima," Lucius whispered into the air as he closed his eyes and took Aria's hands in his.
Aria joined in with him in the casting of wandless charms herself so that she could open up the connection even wider as they both used their skills. "Silencio," she muttered as she too closed her eyes and squeezed Lucius' hands.
As they felt the bubble of their spells creating a silent protection around them, they both breathed in gasps of breath as their mental connection opened and the feelings of bliss penetrated their connected souls; they were one soul now. The magic of the night and of the space that they were in accelerated the feeling of magic and power and their bodies began glowing even brighter as the magic of the night took hold of them.
Moaning a deep moan of gratification and longing in his throat and chest, Lucius leaned Aria back so that she was lying down and his muscular, ready body hovered over her. He wasted no time with foreplay, she could see that his natural instinct, his more animalistic side, had taken over…and to think he hadn't even tasted her blood yet. He instantly entered her wet and ready core, and she screamed out into their private bubble of bliss as her body glowed and pulsed a bright golden aura at the sublime pleasure. She not only felt his entrance into her physically but also mentally, as their mental connection was on a connected wavelength to what their bodies were feeling.
He wasn't gentle in his thrusts; they were hard and quick-paced and the sound of their moans was mixed with the rousing sounds of their skin slapping against the others' with each hard thrust. His right hand held up her left leg around his waist as he pounded into her unbridled, and the pain she should have felt from where his fingertips gripped her leg, was only pure pleasure and power. The power between them was beyond addictive as he made love to her brutishly, and her mind was beginning to spin in colors of their glowing silverish-gold bodies and of the midnight blue sky above them. Aria felt like she could hear the stones moaning with their own delight at the lovers' bliss, just as she had heard the stones in Scotland calling out to them.
Lucius' face was buried in her neck as he fucked her and she felt him breathing in her sweet honeyed scent, the one that he was so addicted to and knew he was so beyond ready to taste her, but was still waiting for her to be ready as well. She was. "Do it," she moaned out into the air as she clutched to his back, her nails digging in with anticipation.
Without missing a beat in his thrusting, she felt his lips gently kiss the right side of her neck; and then she felt his soft kisses turn into hard kisses, his tongue licking and sucking over the spot on her neck she knew he was about to bite into. Sure enough, when her anticipation was getting to be unbearable, she felt him bite down hard, causing her to scream out at the shock of it, although she felt no pain…only pressure and then pleasure.
"Finally!" he growled as he leaned his head back after that first taste, giving Aria a completely unforgettable view of her lover, with her blood trailing down his chin; it was so wrong, yet so right in that moment. Lucius himself was almost to the point of incoherence when he felt and tasted the first rush of her blood on his tongue. He was already on a high from their mental connection and the taste of her blood sent him over into infinity. She tasted of the sweetest nectar and it warmed his insides in the most delightful of ways. His hips never stopped bucking into her as he rode out his multiple highs he was on and Aria's nails dug deeper into his back as they raked down his soft skin as she felt his mouth on her neck again as he drank more deeply from her.
He looked into her eyes after a few moments, and she saw that his pupils had dilated like they had done that first time he had drank her blood. It was always a shocking sight; his eyes were huge and practically as black as the night sky above them. He seemed as if he was in another dimension, one that only consisted of the purest feelings of their bodies connected and she wanted to join him desperately and so she reached her hands up off his back to then bring his head closer into her mouth. Lucius could sense what she wanted and so he leaned his head back slightly and gave her access to his neck.
Just like Lucius, she wasted no time. He had barely felt her lips upon his neck before he felt the pressure and shock of the bite. He breathed in a sharp hiss between his teeth, and then groaned out in pleasure as he felt his woman take in his essence as she lapped it up with her soft, skilled tongue.
"My God! Aria," he gasped out.
"Mmmmm," was all she could say as her lips were still tightly upon his neck. He tasted so much better than she had remembered. As before it wasn't a taste she could accurately describe; it was magic. It was the night sky, the taste of the rarest of vanilla and spice and it was icy, in a good way, which tingled and ignited her insides with pleasure and wonder.
She let go of his neck after a bit and just stared up at him; the most beautiful man in the world. His dilated eyes stared directly into her soul and now her own eyes, as equally as large and dilated, took in the magical man above her, shining silver in the winter moonlight.
She hadn't realized he had stopped pounding into her as she had been drinking from him, and so with a power she didn't realize she could possess she rolled them over so that she now was on top of him, straddling him as she looked down at him. He continued to stare at her in wonder as she began pumping her hips up and down so quickly, it was almost as if she had put a speed charm on herself. It was their power, mentally and physically that was giving her such abilities. She couldn't comprehend what she was seeing and feeling and she leaned her body down closer to him so that their foreheads were touching. Both of them at the same time leaned into the other's neck and began drinking again as both created animalistic sounds of bliss and satisfaction.
As Aria continued to ride Lucius to perfection she leaned her head back up to look down at him and realized that surrounding them completely was stars. They were no longer on the ground in the stone circle…they were surrounded by the bright, shining stars, seemingly floating throughout the cosmos. Aria should have been scared, but all she could do was look around in amazement and call out Lucius' name.
"Lucius!" she said to get his attention, his eyes were still only on her own. "Look!" she said as she stared all around her. Weirdly enough her hips hadn't stopped moving and she continued to make love to him despite this new part of their connection.
Lucius looked all around them and realized they were on what appeared to either be a different plane of existence…or perhaps a hallucination from the power of their mental connection and the blood. He didn't know how this had happened, but he smiled and half laughed, half moaned, as the pleasure of Aria making love to him grew and grew. He cared not of what was actually happening but only of the physical and mental bliss he was feeling. His focus went back to the love of his life as she continued to move her hips up and down, her hands braced on his broad, muscular chest for support. She was so incredibly beautiful, her plush, full breasts moving in the most seductive way as her body moved around him and the blood on her lips that shined in the starlight drove him even deeper into his pleasure…it was the most beautiful moment of his life.
He grabbed her hips firmly, surely causing more bruising, and guided her hips faster and faster on him. She began screaming out in pleasure at the added speed, she had already been moving so fast. With each moan and scream it seemed that the stars that surrounded them in their own private world glowed brighter in brilliant shades of silver, gold, pink, blue and purple. As they reached their peaks, so close to falling over the edge into their orgasms, both of them felt their eyesight go black and then flashes of pictures flooded their minds. The two of them, throughout their life times, making love, having mind-blowing orgasms…flashes of skin against skin, hands grabbing, rubbing, pleasuring. Lips on lips, images of mouths open in orgasmic bliss. It was just flashes of images, but the two lovers knew it was themselves, in all of their past lives, making sweet passionate love. Whether it was part of a hallucination or not, neither knew, but the images that flooded their minds sent both of them over the edge as they came intensely together. To both of them it felt as if a bomb had gone off in not only each of their bodies but also their minds.
They clung to each other, screaming out words of pleasure that made no sense, but had to be screamed. They leaned in to each other's necks to drink one last taste from each other before their orgasms ended, needing desperately for the high to continue.
Soon though, the screams stopped and the two lovers lay still as their own sight returned to them. They still floated contentedly throughout the stars, which magically supported them as if they were laying on the softest of pillows. The magic of the Solstice, their mental connection, their blood and the stones had made them experience something truly incredible and the last thought before the two slipped away into unconsciousness was one of the purest pleasure and soul connection.
The first thing Aria felt was warmth against her skin and the feeling of Lucius beneath her. Her head was throbbing and her body was sore, but she felt oddly the most peaceful and satisfied she had ever felt in her entire life. Her eyes fluttered open and she realized that it was now daytime, and the warmth that she felt was the bright winter sun shining down upon the two lovers. They were still in the stone circle, completely naked, and their limbs and hair were intertwined. Dried blood was in Aria's hair and also on Lucius' chest were she had been lying all night it appeared. She was extremely light headed and was sure it was from loss of blood, and perhaps the visions they had had. Floating in the stars, making love to Lucius had been unbelievable…. had it been a dream? A hallucination? Or had it been real? Last night was the most magical event in her life and she couldn't quite process it. She was also slowing becoming aware that they must have been laying there unconscious for hours, and she was becoming more and more self-conscious, should a wandering muggle pass by at any point and see two naked people huddled in the middle of the circle.
Aria looked down at her Lucius. His eyes were still closed and he looked so peaceful it almost hurt to wake him, but it was time for them to go back home and recover mentally and physically. A pleasure such as the pleasure they had experienced had been so intense she felt as if she was truly hung-over.
"My love," she said whispering in his ear as she slightly shook him with her left hand.
With a bit of a jolt, Lucius opened his eyes and squinted against the afternoon sun. He looked shocked when he realized they had been unconscious all night and day.
"Aria," he said as he raised his right hand up and gently caressed her cheek. He reached for his wand which was buried in the pile of their clothes near them, pointed it at her neck and healed her bite wound he had inflicted; it had stopped bleeding on its own during the night, but it still needed looking after. He then pointed the wand at his own neck to try and heal his wound as well.
He then looked around nervously for a bit as he realized they had been lying out in the open, vulnerable for god knows how long, but realized their protective charms were still in place and he sighed out in relief.
"What happened last night? Was that all a dream? A hallucination?" asked Aria weakly.
Lucius shook his head, thinking about all the events of the night before. "I don't know my love…but it was the most intense magic and pleasure I have ever felt in my entire life…. thank you…" he said as he leaned his forehead against hers. He too was feeling a bit weak and hung-over and the support of his woman's body helped exponentially.
He soon wrapped his thick cloak around them both, as he helped Aria up to her wobbly feet, and apparated them back home, straight into their room, as the two lovers collapsed on the bed together and stared at each other as if seeing an ethereal being. After that night both of their ideas and perceptions of the true power of magic had changed forever.
