After the emotional significance of their discovery of what the little book actually was, Lucius and Aria couldn't quite focus on anything else but reading all of the journal entries that this past-life Lucius had written. They barely touched their dinner, and instead just mainly gave each other loving looks from across the table the entire time, as if trying to process and absorb what they had just discovered and how special it was.
One of Lucius' internal questions he had, was if this Lucius (if this version of him was actually named Lucius), was the first life that he had lived? If this was his original form? Since the journal entries indicated that this was when Aria and Lucius' prophecy first originated, the prophecy that they were the first instances of soul-mates and true love in the universe, Lucius' best guess was that this journal was from his first life of his many lifetimes.
Aria and Lucius ended up spending the rest of the night just cuddled up in bed together as Lucius read to them aloud more journal entries. It was almost as if he was reading them a comforting bedtime story, but the story was actually real; it was their story. The greatest love story of all time.
Tonight I went for a walk in the light of the moon so that I could search for her. Her and her people have set up a little camp near the edge of our village, near the Dark Forest. They said they had migrated North to find more of our kind, that some force had called to them to journey here.
I had hoped to catch sight of her again so that I may finally speak to her; finally get to hear her voice, which I am sure is to be the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Sure enough she was there, by the edge of the lake, drinking some water and staring at her reflection in the moonlight. Again, I felt that new sensation within myself. Something I have never felt before. It is as if all of the pleasurable feelings of the universe are stirring within me.
I walked over to her, and the second she turned to me at the sound of my approach, her face lit up, rivaling the light of the moon itself, it was as if the Sun was shining in the middle of the night. Her beautiful body approached my own and without a second thought to our actions we embraced, our foreheads resting against the others. The way in which she held me, made me feel my new emotions even more strongly, I felt as if I may weep.
"Forgive me, I felt as if I must" she had said, regarding her immediate reaction to my presence. I was right in my assumption that her voice was the most beautiful sound imaginable.
I told her I felt the urge too and that was why I had sought her out. Felt things that I had never felt before…things that my family didn't recognize. I told her that I couldn't properly describe what I was feeling.
"Me too," she revealed, which made my insides feel even more strange and fantastical.
I feel as if tonight is the start of something new…not just for her and I, but for the universe…
Aria looked over to Lucius where he held the tiny book in his hands as they lay side by side in bed. On his skin she saw gooseflesh as he was clearly amazed and in awe of what the little journal was revealing to them. Almost as if contagious, Aria's skin broke out into gooseflesh as well, as she knew exactly the emotions Lucius was feeling. As usual their bodies were on one wavelength.
Lucius looked over at Aria then, sensing her looking at him. "This is incredible," he said with wonder in his voice.
"This is the most precious thing we could ever find my love," Aria said as she rolled fully over onto her side and laid her left arm across his chest, and stroked the smooth, gorgeous skin of him. She could feel a slight grumble in his chest from where he deeply moaned at her affections. "Read me more," she said with a smile, as she closed her eyes to imagine she was actually there with their past selves as Lucius read on.
For many days and nights now, we have been growing closer and closer. In the day light, her and her people have become even more closely engrained with our own people and our customs. During the day time we communicate mostly by looks of longing and distant smiles…but at night time, I always seek her out, and she is always there waiting for me, as if she knows that I will be coming to her. I had asked her to explain more about why her and her people migrated North to find us, and she said it was as if there was a force pulling them in this direction. She said she had been one of the biggest supporters of migrating North, as she felt the pull almost more than anyone.
We still have no way of describing what we are feeling, as neither of us has felt this way before. The only thing we can really compare it to, is when a male and female of our kind mate, to produce more Veela. There is pleasure in mating of course, but after the act is done, the two usually go their separate ways; friendly with one another, but content that their job has been done and that they have produced offspring. Nothing more. What she and I feel is completely different. We feel as if we want to be together always; that we don't and could never want anyone else.
Last night was one of the most amazing nights of my life. We had been embracing, breathing each other in, and exploring each other with our hands, when all of a sudden she placed her lips upon mine. So warm and so soft. It was the most exquisite feeling I had ever known. When she kissed me I felt something, like a light, growing in my chest, and I could have sworn I saw her glowing herself when she pulled away and stared up at me with those green eyes of hers. It felt as if my heart itself was melting, in the best of ways. I wanted to kiss her always, and never stop.
We seemed to kiss for ages it seemed, never getting enough; our bond growing closer. I feel myself constantly growing for her. The hardness never seeming to abate in her presence. It is like how my body reacts during mating season, only now with her, it is all the time. I feel as if I need more of her…
Lucius laid the book down on his chest after the last entry and looked down at Aria's face which was cuddled against his smooth chest. Lucius had a slight blush to his face after reading about his past self clearly getting never ending erections around Aria's past self. Aria looked back up to him, admiring his rare flush to his cheeks, which she seldom saw, as Lucius never tended to be an embarrassed man about anything.
"Well it seems some things never change," Aria said as she reached her hand down to where Lucius' cock was beneath the sheets as she grabbed his semi-hard erection in her hands.
"Mmmm, seems so," Lucius agreed as he closed his eyes briefly in bliss as his woman rubbed his ever-hardening cock, the friction from her hand over the sheets feeling divine on his sensitive manhood.
Lucius let Aria continue rubbing him as he picked the book back up, slightly struggling to concentrate, as he saw the next passage. This was where he had first seen the imagery of the standing stones, that had caught his eye when they first found the book. His younger self seemed to be quite a skilled artist, as Lucius had known immediately that the stone circle was the one his modern-day self and Aria had made love in several times in Scotland, The Callanish Stones. No wonder their love always felt so strong in that place; it was where they had first made love. Lucius read on to the next passage.
I write this the morning after the most incredible night of my life; one that I can never forget. I know for certain that her and I have changed the Universe for the better. During one of our nightly meetups we had walked over to the prayer circle of stones, as I wanted to show her more of our tribe's customs, it was Samhain and we had just been at the stone circle earlier in the evening praying to our Gods to bless us with an easy winter. The second we walked into the circle, just the two of us, we felt something incredible. As if our bodies were being drawn together to form as one. In that moment we both knew that we had to be connected in the most meaningful ways.
As we stepped into the circle together, the cold air turned a calming warm and as she slipped her covering off of her body and revealed herself to me in the light of the stars, I had never seen anything so perfect or beautiful. I instantly felt myself grow hard again, and so I removed my breeches and top and revealed myself to her. She seemed to take me in, her beautiful eyes devouring my body and soul.
As I laid her upon the grass, my body knew exactly what to do and I entered her, became one with her, and in that moment I cried out as I felt all of the feelings I had been feeling amplified to unimaginable heights. She cried out into the night too and I began mating with her…but it was more than mating. A new feeling…a new word…appeared in my head…I call it….LOVE. As I moved within her, I could finally describe what I was feeling with a new word; love. I love her.
What happened next was amazing, as I was inside of her, giving and receiving pleasure, she looked up at me and said 'I love you too.' I cried a few tears then…she had somehow known the word I had just thought in my head and repeated it back to me. And that is then that I realized…I could hear her thoughts too and I could feel the pleasure I was giving her reflected back at me. The feeling of so much pleasure and goodness caused me to move faster within her until we were both screaming out into the night with the most amazing feelings either of us had ever experienced.
Soon I released my whole self into her, filling her up with my love as her insides seemed to hold me into her tighter and tighter, as she still cried out. And then the change in the Universe happened. Wind and light and stars seemed to swirl around us in a protective circle, and the stones seemed to cry out with happiness as well as they witnessed our new feelings, the new concept of love. I stopped moving within my beautiful girl, as I heard then the most strange language reciting over and over. It seemed like a prophecy of some sorts and I knew my guess was correct, as suddenly in my mind's eye I saw images…images of her and I…we looked the same in some of the images but yet different somehow. Our clothes were strange in each image, all so different from each other, but one thing was constant, that we were together and in love. I knew she saw the same images too, because as my sight returned to me, I saw her own eyes were glazed over in wonder and a few tears fell down her face, as she smiled contentedly at what she had just seen.
What I know to be true now, is that this beautiful creature and I are destined to be…destined to be together forever. It is as if our souls were made for one another and one another alone. And I knew from the images that we both saw in our heads that we were something new…something her and I are calling "Soul Mates."
As Lucius came to the end of the passage, his eyes were glazed over too at what he had just read. It was incredible. The fact that his past self had really written down the first instance of love and the concept of "soul mates." If only people knew how incredibly rare this book was…and yet he was greatly relieved that Aria had found and and that it was now in their possession. It was their story and it should be with them, not in any library or museum.
At this point Aria was leaning up on her right arm as she looked down into Lucius' face. Just like her past self, she had a few tears falling down her face at hearing Lucius read such an incredible piece of history…of their history.
"I can't believe this is truly our story…" Aria said as she traced her hands feather-soft against Lucius exposed chest. "I feel so honored and lucky. What he describes…it is exactly what I saw myself when I was in the Chamber of Love. I had the same experience…"
"I know my love…" agreed Lucius as his eyes watered at the story he had just read about their past lives…what started their incredible prophecy and love story. "Every time I look at you and I think about what we are, I feel like I am not really living in this real world. I am the luckiest man alive, and I truly know that now more than ever."
Aria reached her hand back down to where his manhood was and snaked her arm under the comforter so she could grab him fully with her hand; he was still gloriously hard, and she knew that reading about their past selves' first time probably had kept him aroused. She too was also rather aroused at hearing Lucius read that passage, and just like their past selves, she desperately needed to combine as one with her Lucius in the here and now.
"I want you my love," Aria said as she began rubbing and pumping his iron-hard length as she looked into his hooded grey eyes.
Lucius let out a moan that emanated straight from his chest, the deep vibrations of it causing Aria to grow even wetter. Lucius put the fragile little book on his bedside table, so that he could fully focus on their love in the now. He let Aria continue to love him with her hand, adoring her sublime technique, as she always knew the exact movements and pressure to get him unimaginably hard and ready. He reached his right hand out to run his fingers gently down her gorgeous face as his thumb grazed her plush lower lip, dragging it down seductively. With the tip of her tongue Aria licked his thumb where it rest on her lip and then slowly took it into her mouth and swirled her tongue around it in the most naughtiest of ways, as her green eyes never left Lucius gaze.
He moaned out another deep groan of pleasure at her sucking on his finger, as it reminded him of her lips elsewhere, and his cock twitched in anticipation and need. Aria felt his cock throb, felt it grow harder, felt the vein in it ripple, and she squeezed her legs together to cause some friction for herself.
Lucius felt Aria squeeze her legs together, as she clearly wanted pleasure on her womanhood as well. As much as he loved her ministrations she was giving to him with her hand, he wanted to please her too, and so he removed his thumb from her mouth, reached his hand under the covers to where she was pumping his cock, and then brought both of their hands back out so that he could pin her hand up over her head. With his other hand he removed the comforter off the rest of his body, revealing his gorgeous self and throbbing cock to Aria, and then positioned himself over her, as he scooted her legs widely open with his knees and positioned his cock at her entrance. As he slipped into her slowly, he removed his hand from trapping her wrist and brought his right hand down to cup her cheek gently, so they could look into each others' eyes as he began to make love to her, his other hand supporting himself up over her.
She felt simply divine, her inner walls clutching to him as always; he always felt as if it was his first time when he was inside of her, his perfect woman. "Every time with you feels like falling in love all over again…" he groaned out as she began bucking her hips up to meet his thrusts.
"I've only ever been with you…been in love with you," Aria responded back, her eyebrows creased with her mounting pleasure.
Lucius shuddered and began pumping his hips faster at her words. It always aroused him to no end to know that only he had ever been inside of her. As someone in the past who had always valued the most purest of things, this type of purity she had for him really just aroused him in so many ways. However, when she also said she had only ever been in love with him, he understood that with all of his heart. He had only ever been in love once too, and of course it was with her. No other woman before or after her would he love.
Before Lucius could process what was happening next, Aria placed her hand gently upon his flexed chest, his muscles there tense and defined as he continued making love to her. He knew in that instant she had wandlessly and wordlessly used the Lumos Interius spell on him not only to feel the amazing warming feeling it gave them when they made love, but also to open up their mental connection, since any time they used wandless magic when they touched, they could hear each other's thoughts and feel each other's emotions. Lucius began glowing from his chest brightly from the spell and felt Aria's emotions flowing into him. It was that purely addictive feeling he got of taking in her pleasure into his body as it combined with his own. It always resulted in the most amazing sex and orgasms, and he knew it would be no different this evening.
Lucius' eyes practically rolled back into his head at the amount of love and pleasure he felt as the two of them literally became one in every way possible. His hips never stopped moving, never stopped fucking her, but he leaned his head down into her chest, right between her breasts, kissed her, and muttered the Lumos Interius spell as well, so that she now too began glowing luminously from her chest center.
"Mmmm I love you so much Lucius," She hummed, as she felt the spell warm her body and his love permeate through her.
"And I you," he said as his thrusts sped up.
Soon the two of them were glowing brightly from head to toe as the spell and their passionate love flowed through them. Lucius reached his left hand down to her leg so that he could bring it up and wrap it around his waist, so that he could plunge deeper into her. All he could think about while he made love to her was about the journal entry he had read from his past self. With their mental connection open, as it currently was, he could imagine that he was back there at the standing stones, all of those millennia ago, making love to his soul mate, just as he was doing now. The thought of it was wondrous and staggering and he felt so full of emotion he could hardly contain it. He knew Aria was feeling what he was, and could feel his strong emotions, as he saw that she had a few tears falling down her cheeks, and her full lips were gently smiling as her eyes were shut at the feelings she was feeling from his body and her own.
With her leg wrapped tightly around his waist, and his strong arm and hand holding her there, Aria soon felt her inner walls beginning to clench more tightly around his amazing cock, as the tip of it continued to hit her g-spot, so deep inside her. With the warmth of the spell and the amazing feeling of their mental connection, Aria soon reached her hands up to his shoulders and then his back as she clung to him, her nails digging in slightly, as she came hard for him, her pussy clenching and pulsating all around his iron-hard shaft.
"I feel you my love…I feel you coming for me!" He cried out as his thrusts picked up even more pace at his increasing arousal. He always got so beyond aroused whenever she came for him, and it always drove him to his release as well. He seemed to thrust into her with inhumane speed, and then finally with one last thrust and one last groan of bliss, Lucius came into her hard. With each spurt he thrust into her hardly, their skin making the most erotic noises as it slapped against each other.
"So deep! You're so deep…fuck!" Aria cried out into the room as she felt his warm seed filling her up, melding their bodies together.
Her naughty words made Lucius thrust and come a bit more into her one last time, before he slightly collapsed as he rested his head against her forehead, breathing hard and focusing purely on their combined thoughts and emotions. As always, Lucius stayed within her for quite awhile, as the Lumos Interius spell began slowly fading, although their bodies still slightly glowed with their exertions and passions. He always dreaded the part where he had to leave her warm, velvety heat, but he slowly removed himself from her and uttered a quick cleansing charm over them so that they wouldn't have to get out of bed.
With a satisfied grin on her face, Aria cuddled back up into Lucius arms and chest and just held him, breathing in his heady scent, which had gotten more concentrated from their love making.
"Thank you," she said quietly and simply, as her fingers ran over her lover's smooth, beautiful chest.
She felt him tighten his grip on her and kiss her the top of her head. "It is I who should always be thanking you…." He smirked. "The pleasure you give me is heaven. Reading about our past selves making love rather put me in the mood I must admit" he chuckled under his breath.
"Mhmm," Aria agreed. She remained silent for quite a bit longer; Lucius knew she was in deep thought. When she spoke though, it wasn't what he expected. "Do you think one day we could go back….go back in time I mean…and see them? See us."
"What?" Lucius asked, looking down at her, not clearly understanding her meaning. She remained silent again, clearly trying to find the right words.
"Well…we do have a Time Turner after all…" she said very quietly, almost as if scared at what his response would be.
Lucius hadn't been expecting that at all, quite frankly. The mention of the Time Turner was of course very tempting. He would also be extremely interested in using it to go back in time to witness their incredible first meeting, and the creation of their love and of love as an actual concept. But it was exceedingly dangerous.
"My love…you must understand how dangerous that would be. Not only for our current selves but for our past selves as well. Not only have I never read of any witch or wizard going that far back in time, but should our past selves become suspicious in any way…should they see us…it could ruin everything. Not only us, but it could ruin the whole notion of love itself…" he explained.
"I know…I know…" she sighed. "It was a silly idea….forget I mentioned it."
Lucius held her more tightly again, not wanting her to feel ashamed for asking. "Trust me my sweet, it is a rather tempting notion. I would love to witness love born for the Universe….to witness our prophecy being made. I believe in the journal entry when my past self described hearing an odd language he had never heard before, it was our prophecy making itself known…the Latin prophecy. The same one that is in the Soul Prophesies book in our library, the same one in which I discovered about our bond.." He smiled. He couldn't believe how full circle everything was becoming.
"I would love to see our past selves making love for the fist time," she blushed as she admitted her secret wishes. "It would be so beautiful to witness, despite being rather voyeuristic.." She laughed.
"But my love…we witness it every time we make love to each other," he reminded her. Although he too would rather enjoy seeing that sight as well.
The two lay in silence for a bit longer, Aria began nodding off, as she had had a really long day with working in Oxford, and then coming home and working on the potion in which they had revealed what the journal was, and then the excitement in hearing all about the beginnings of themselves as soul mates. As the clocks in the Manor chimed midnight, Lucius reached back over to his side table to pick the little book back up. As he held it in his hands he pondered it. He knew this was his past self's journal…but how had it gotten bound into this neat little leather binding, and how had it ended up at Oxford? As if it knew Aria would one day find it…curious it was indeed.
He felt Aria stir a bit next to him and mewl out a bit as she was so comfortable and at peace. "Shall I read to you one last entry my love?" He whispered to her in a husky voice, as he himself was rather tired as well.
"Mhm," Aria nodded her head as she snuggled closer into his body, her eyes remaining closed as she began listening to him read to her. She was halfway between the real world and her dream world and she felt as if what he was reading to her, was actually happening to her in that exact moment.
My love and I have declared ourselves mated. Both of our tribes know and they are so in awe at our connection and our new way of living that we have discovered. We have told our people of the new word we have created to describe how strong our bond is; love. At first our people couldn't really understand what 'love' was, and what it meant to us.
The Seer and Healer of our village however, took a very specific interest in our connection and called us in to her home to sit us down and talk with us. What happened in the Seer's home was extraordinary and yet also confirmed that everything my love and I felt was true. Once we began telling the Seer of our experience of coming together as one within the stone circle, she abruptly got up from her seat and went to her cupboards and found a perfectly smooth and round stone. All of a sudden she put her lips up to the stone and began speaking that same language I had heard in my head that night as I mated with my love.
'A prophecy,' the Seer had said as she handed me the round stone, which now glowed with a type of light and mist that seemed to swirl within it.
My love and I couldn't believe it….we had started a prophecy. The Seer then told us that what we had experienced together had started something new for the entire Universe. Our word that we had created, 'love,' was now going to be something for the rest of the Universe to experience. My heart seemed to grow inside of me with pure, divine happiness. I thank the Gods that I have found her, the love of my life…the love of my many lifetimes.
As the weeks pass, I notice a change among the people of our tribes. More and more people are coupling off into pairs of two and claiming to experience that similar feeling I had when I first saw my love. I think our people are now beginning to experience love too…now that we have unlocked it for the Universe. People are no longer just mating to reproduce…they are mating because they love each other…
As I hold our prophecy stone in the folds of my robes, I know I will never let it out of my sight. I will give it to my children, and then my children's children, and so on…forever…so that one day in another life I may find it again…
Lucius finished the passage and couldn't quite believe what he had just read. All of the remaining answers he had had about his and Aria's relationship and past were being answered, and it was filling him with so much joy and wonder. He gently closed the book and placed it back on his nightstand and looked down at his beautiful which who was cuddled up closely on his chest. She seemed to be fast asleep, but her lips were curled up in a smile, as if she too was dreaming about what he had just read aloud to her. Her gorgeous smile made him smile as well, and soon he closed his eyes as he began dreaming of a time long ago, when love…their love was first born.
