Blueeyeddevil06 thank you for being my beta! But, most importantly HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Love you both!
Yumemi Yumeno sighed and looked at her blank canvas. She felt incredibly dejected. She'd been staring at that same blank canvas for three weeks. Sure, she had spent a lot of time preparing for her exhibition, but that still left hours of empty time. Time where she struggled to find anything to inspire her.
The bell on her studio door clanged, and she looked up as a couple walked into her studio. They didn't have an appointment, but she didn't care. It was like the muses themselves sent her a gift. It appeared to her like the sun and abiding love radiated from them. She barely contained her joy as they walked towards her.
"Good afternoon. How can I help you?" She tried to ask calmly.
The woman smiled at her and said, "Actually, we need your help."
"Done!" She couldn't hold back. She felt she needed to help them.
"You might want to hear what it is first." The man said. "I'm Darien, and this is my fiancé, Serena."
"If you will sit for me to paint you, I'll do whatever you need. I feel like we were supposed to meet." She needed their answer to be yes. Her fingers itched to pick up a brush and paint them. It felt to her like they were fated together and that it was important to her that she painted them.
Serena smiled at Darien and blushed. "I… I would love to. Is that alright with you?"
He nodded. "I would do it just for you, but she's a talent artist and I'm happy to."
"Yes! Sit here!" She pulled over a bench for them to sit on. She couldn't contain her enthusiasm.
"Now?" Serena asked.
"Is that okay?"
Darien nodded. "Why don't we sit for you and tell you why we came while you're painting."
She got her easel, canvas, and paints. "Okay, try to sit still." She paused, posed them and smiled. "Perfect. What do you need?"
"We are agents and working with the police," Serena started. "I have a badge in my purse. I can show you when we're done sitting for you. Your art is amazing, and you have achieved fame during your lifetime. It's incredible."
"But…?" She said.
"But, that makes you a target for art theft. We are tracking an organization that is preparing to steal three of your pieces."
She paused her painting. "You want them to be stolen," she said matter of factly.
"How did you know?"
"Sometimes I just know things."
Darien nodded and then got back into pose. "We want to work with you to allow them to be stolen and tracked. This organization has a history of having contacts with wicked people. The Secret Treasure that was stolen and recovered was purchased by Diamond. It was how we found him."
Serena jumped in, "We don't expect a buyer like him at all! But, we have had success."
"I'll say," she said as she went back to painting. "Yes. I'll let you track them. I'm happy to help you. The moment you walked in it felt like we should meet."
"Thank you!" Serena smiled at her. "We'll be sending Amy to set up the trackers in all of your paintings. We don't want to risk a last minute change in order."
They sat and chatted for the next two hours. Finally, they were done, and she could finish the rest from a photo. "Thank you for coming to me. I feel inspired to do a whole new series of paintings. I'm going to title this one 'Fated Love.'"
Darien looked at the painting and at Serena in particular. He then smiled at Yumeno. "You see it too."
"I do. She's special."
Darien pulled Serena into his arms when they got home. "You're amazing."
"Why?"
"I love watching you relate to people. You seem to understand people so easily. She was charmed by you."
Serena blushed, "I'm not-"
He cut her off with a passionate kiss. He pulled back and said, "You are. You are also incredibly enticing. Just holding you like this makes me want things."
Her eyes darkened with lust. "What things?"
"To talk about my day." He quipped referring back to a conversation that felt so long ago at the arcade.
She laughed and played along. "And, I told you that I didn't want a man who expected things. I do, however, really want sex right now. You know...the kind that leaves you out of breath and sweaty."
He grabbed her up and tossed her on their bed. "Just remember you asked for it."
She stripped off her clothes and tossed them. "I'm asking for it alright."
He pulled off his shirt, pants, and boxers. He grabbed her ankle. pulled her towards him, and she giggled. He then launched forward and sucked on her pussy. With his mouth buried in between her thighs and lips pressed into her folds, he said, "I love the taste of you." She moaned. "I adore all the sounds I get out of you."
She fisted his hair and held him there. "I love it when you talk with your mouth full. The vibration feels so good down there."
"Hmmmmmm. You like this?"
"Yes! Oh, that feels good!" She arched her back.
"So will this." He then licked and sucked her until she came, screaming. He smirked. "You're welcome." He gave her a cocky grin. He loved that he could bring her so much pleasure. He then thrust into her and brought her screaming over the edge into bliss again.
Amy smirked at Zoisite. "Are you ready for me to fix it?"
"No, I am perfectly capable of overriding the security."
She massaged his shoulders. "Of course you are, babe." She peaked at the coding. He was really impressive. She was astounded by his abilities. What she said instead was, "Hmm. I see the problem."
He looked up at her over his shoulder. "I'm getting there."
"I'm sure you are." She said teasingly.
He huffed and fixed some coding. "See? I'm getting it."
"Well done. You figured that part out."
He gave her a wry smile. "You say all that, but I think you're actually impressed."
She leaned forward and ran her hands from his shoulders down to rest on his chest, and she whispered in his ear. "I'm impressed. You're incredibly talented."
He went back to working on the coding and smiled. "Damn right, I am." He worked for a bit more while she kissed along his jaw. "How about this?"
She looked up. "Wow. That's… really smart." She sat in his lap and looked through what he had done. "How did you think of that?!"
"I'm really good. What can I say?"
"That's incredible." She kissed him. "I'm very impressed."
"Good. I'm stuck now. I wanted to impress you before I gave in and asked for help."
She spun back to the computer and worked on the coding. She'd spent two hours earlier that day looking into the physical security system and what they needed to go against. It was a fun test of her skills. She finished up the coding. "Done."
"Damn. That's so hot. You're so sexy when you do that."
"You always think I'm sexy. You wanted me the moment I walked into your office."
"True. I was so glad you were there to have sex with me. I was so fucking hard the moment I looked at you." He pulled her back flush against him and grabbed her breasts. "Little did I know what you'd come to mean to me." He kissed along her neck. "How much I'd come to love you."
She moaned. "I really didn't think I'd fall for you." She laughed. "I did though."
He kissed the back of her head. "I can't believe that, when you walked through my door, it would lead to this. I'm so happy it did though."
"Me too. Do you want me to help you steal the paintings?"
He sighed. "If you get caught-"
She scoffed, "We worked on that software. We won't. I tease you, but it really is brilliant."
"I'll bring you with me to steal the paintings. Tonight, let me show you how much I appreciate you."
She chuckled, "Oh, I think tonight I want you to bring the handcuffs out again. Actually, I'm sure I do."
He shook his head. "Will you let me blindfold you tonight instead? I want to spend time on your body bringing you pleasure."
She moaned as he laid her down naked and blindfolded. He then ran a feather over her body and over her nipples. He spent the night stimulating her body in many different ways. He then finally brought her to orgasm after she was begging for him desperately.
Artemis held Luna as they laid there in bed. He kissed down her neck and whispered that he loved her.
"I love you too." She replied.
"Stop worrying. The girls will all be okay."
She let out a breath, "I know. It's just that they're all falling in love. It can be a huge distraction."
He looked at her strangely. "A distraction? Is that what this is to you?"
"No!" She sighed and admitted. "You heard what Serena said about her parents' deaths. She may not have noticed at six, but her mother had the chance to escape."
He held her even tighter. "I noticed."
"She stayed to try and save her husband. She could still be alive." A tear slid down Luna's face. "She was the first person who ever cared about me. It was so hard to lose her."
"The first, yes." He agreed and rolled her to her back. He looked her in the eyes. "But, definitely not the last. She fought for the man she loved. You can't fault her for that. He wasn't a distraction. To her, he was worth fighting for." He caressed her breasts with his hand.
She smirked, "Make love to me."
He thrust into her and moaned. "I'd fight for you."
Melvin walked into the Crown Arcade and saw Molly waiting for him. He'd been testing out his contacts, and today was the day he would surprise her. He also tried to dress a bit more like Darien. Serena complained about his style sometimes, but he noticed the things he wore that she actually liked.
He heard Molly gasp. She said, "Melvin, you look…" She looked upset. "You didn't have to change anything about yourself for me!"
"I know. I… I actually feel more confident like this. Do you hate it?"
"No!" She sighed. "I don't want you to feel you have to change for me."
"I don't. I want to be more attractive to you. But, I did this and discovered I feel better about how I look." He shrugged.
She smiled at him. "Well, since you aren't doing it just for me… You do look really handsome."
He blushed. "Really?"
"Yes, really. You have really great eyes too."
