This chapter was originally going to be very different and deal more with what happened in the previous chapter. Then while I was writing, Darien got distracted by her perfume, and sometimes the characters take on a life of their own. This is one of those times.

Blueeyeddevil06, thank you for being my beta!

"I'm fine," Serena insisted.

Darien looked up at her from his position on the couch. He had his elbows braced on his knees and his face buried in his hands. "You got hurt, Serena."

She walked over to him, sat next to him, and said, "What's really bothering you?"

He let out a harsh breath and wrapped his arms around her. "They didn't show up for you."

"Every one of them was there, Darien."

"Not on time."

She shook her head and smiled, "Because we beat him too fast."

"Not before you got hurt. And not as quickly as we could have. There are ten of us! We should have been an overwhelming force."

She kissed his cheek and said, "I'm safe."

"I wasn't enough." That statement, raw and broken, finally made her realize what was bothering him the most.

"You did protect me. I would have been injured worse without you shielding me. My ankle ended up being a minor thing. You're more than enough."

She worked her way out of his grip and straddled his lap. "Every bit of me is safe with you. My body and my heart."

He pressed her to him and breathed in her sweet flowery perfume. He smiled as he inhaled again. She'd switched to a rose perfume.

His brain was now solely focused on the perfume she was wearing. She smelled like roses…. "Serena, when did you switch your perfume?"

She giggled, "Weeks ago. You aren't very observant. Why?"

"You're..." he swallowed hard, "you're covered in my scent."

She felt him shudder. "Is that a problem…?"

"No!" he pressed her harder to his chest and rocked his hips, pressing his hardening cock against her core. "I find it incredibly erotic." He then rocked his hips again.

Serena's head fell back as she moaned, and her breasts pressed against his chest. She then rocked her hips in time with his. Darien's hands slid down to her butt and grasped the perfect globes. They were both breathing heavily.

He nibbled at her neck and said, "You have no idea what that does to me."

She gave a wry smile he didn't see, "I can feel how hard you are. I do."

"Baby, you don't, but you're about to find out. Wrap your legs around me," he told her and stood holding her tightly. She kept pressing against his hard cock, and he almost stumbled. "I'm going to…." He kissed her hard on the mouth and then said, "I'll just show you what I'm going to do to you."

He then brought her to their bedroom and laid her out on the bed. He stripped her bare and raked his eyes over her body. "You lying there only wearing the scent of roses… So damn hot."

When he turned to go, she said, "Where are you going?"

He turned to face her and gave her a heated look, "Props. I need a few things."

First, he went and pulled out a silk neck tie from the closet. He climbed on the bed and said, "I'm going to blindfold you. You drove me crazy with my sense of smell. I'm going to drive you wild with the sense of touch."

She lifted her head a bit so he could wrap the silk tie around her and tie it firmly, but not too tight. "I'll be back."

When he returned, he smiled at her from the doorway. Her whole body was showing him how turned on she was already. Her quick breaths, arched body, stiff nipples, and wet pussy. She was an erotic work of art. And he was going to enjoy her thoroughly. Today, the masterpiece that was his betrothed was going to be a performance piece of art, and he was going to be a full participant.

He opened the bottle of chocolate syrup and squeezed some on her flat stomach.

She giggled when she caught the scent. "No fair. You know how much I love chocolate," she teased.

He smiled, bent down,8 and slowly and thoroughly licked the chocolate off her stomach, nipping at the skin along the way. He then moved up to her mouth, kissing her passionately, letting her taste the chocolate on his tongue.

"Better?" he asked.

She licked her lips, making his cock twitch, and nodded. "So good, Darien." it twitched again.

He took a cleansing breath. He wanted to draw this out, but she looked so good he almost decided just to stop and fuck her right there. He shook his head harshly at himself. He then said, "You have no idea how challenging it is to draw this out right now. You're perfect."

She gave him a sultry smile and caressed her breasts as she spread her legs wider for him. "Come and play."

He groaned and whipped open his pants, making room for his cock. His clothing had gotten so confining. "I'm going to play with you, alright. I will draw out this game. And then when I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to thrust into you and fuck you so hard that you'll be walking funny even with your super healing."

He watched her grow wetter at his words. He smiled; it wasn't just her sense of touch he was using to turn her on and drive her wild.

He then poured chocolate sauce all over her boobs and let it run down into the valley in between. He bent over and licked her with the flat of his tongue, lapping up all chocolate and listening to her breathing get harsher. He then used the tip of his tongue on her nipples, stimulating them and getting her to fist the sheets and arch her back in pleasure. He licked her clean.

"Open your mouth," he said in a commanding tone, and he watched her rub her legs together to create friction. "You like that?"

"Yes," she said breathly, "It's so hot when you get all bossy."

He gave her a Cheshire grin and commanded, "I said open your mouth and don't swallow."

She obeyed immediately, and when she did, he drizzled chocolate sauce in her mouth and then all over her lips. He then kissed her, deepening it from the start. Their tongues licked and sucked and were covered in the sweet taste of chocolate. He kissed her forcefully and brought his hand to her breast and grasped it, and then played with her nipple. Once they both broke for desperately needed oxygen, he said, "You can swallow now."

He watched her swallow the chocolate and then lick her lips for the remaining bits still clinging to them. He then licked his lips, doing the same. His heart was pounding, and his hormones were raging.

He then conjured a rose and teased one nipple with the soft petals and then the other. Next, he caressed her breasts, her stomach, and then her face. When he ran it over her lips, he said in a promise, "I would do anything for you."

He next brought the rose down between her legs and through the moisture that had accumulated there. He then brought it to his nose and inhaled the mixed scent of rose and her arousal.

She whimpered and writhed on the bed. "I'm so turned on."

His eyes flicked to her dripping pussy, "I can tell my love, my everything."

"I want -"

He smiled and said in a commanding voice, cutting her off, "You'll take what I give you. I'm not done yet." he then softened his tone, "Haven't I pleased you so far?"

"Yes! You have!"

She then felt something cool and rubbery against her clit. Then suddenly, it switched on, and it was vibrating against her and pulsing. "Oh! Yes!" she yelled out.

"I found your vibrator."

She moaned as it pulsed against her clit. "Yes! S-so good!"

He smiled as he watched her pleasure from the device he was holding. The vibrator stimulated her, and she was fisting the sheets and moaning in bliss. She screamed out loudly and orgasmed. He turned off the vibrator and put it next to everything else on his nightstand.

He then stripped off his clothes and said, "Now you're in for it. That was so hot!"

She smiled up at him, and he knew her eyes were dancing with excitement under the blindfold. He pulled it off her head, wanting to see her beautiful eyes. Next, he brought her legs over his shoulders, and he hovered over her with the tip of his cock, teasing her entrance.

He locked eyes with her and said, "I don't have it in me to be gentle." She just got the words, "I would be disappointed if you did," out before he slammed his hips forward, impaling her on his cock.

He breathed out, "So fucking perfect," as he took her hard. The combination of his superhero strength and her superhero body made it so that they could go longer and harder than others. He drove himself inside of her, feeling his cock drag through her tight channel, squeezing him and making him lose any coherent thought. He heard the headboard hitting the wall, their bodies slapping together, their harsh panting breath, and blissful moans, and it was the best music he'd ever heard. He heard and felt her orgasm and then came deep inside of her so hard he got lightheaded and collapsed on her. Luckily she was superhuman and could take his weight.

Her legs slipped off his shoulders as they laid there twisted up, panting for breath.

When they gained their senses back, she smiled over at him and said, "So. I take it you really like my perfume."
