Rio
de Janeiro - Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport
The
plane was almost lost in the blue sky but still the young woman didn't seem
eager to move away from the window. Her eyes were lost in the clouds as
her mind wandered through last night's memories.
It
had been so hard to say goodbye to Riley, and at the same time she wished
she could do it over and over again. After all the conversation they had
and the tears they shared, Lea had let Riley take her into the bedroom,
and her world seemed to have melted away at that very moment.
Never
before had she experienced a moment so bitter and so sweet. She still could
feel his tongue tracing the way of her tears, his lips kissing them away.
He always had the power to change her life from the black and white reality
into a colourful dream. A simple touch of his hand could always take her
to heaven and Lea could never resist to his calling.
So
she let herself be taken and loved and as his hand snaked around her waist
she began to relax and let her hand slip into his shirt, caressing his chest.
Riley moved his other hand up under her hair and massaged the base of her
hairline seductively and Lea closed her eyes in anticipation for the moment
they were going to share.
His
lips traced her neckline while his hands tried to get her free from her
clothes. Supressing a sob, she pushed him away and helped him with the clothes.
Riley smiled sweetly at his woman as her clothes found their place on the
floor. She was naked in front of him, and for the first time it was a complete
nakedness. Her body and soul now belonged to her captain. Riley took her
hand and whispered in her ear.
"Come
here, woman. Let me show you how much I love you."
She
looked up at him and his mouth descended upon hers. His lips brushed hers,
and he ran his tongue over her mouth before pushing through them. The hardness
of his jeans brushing against her bare skin sent thrills up and down her
spine and Lea moaned, desire and hunger taking her body as she begged.
"Make
me yours once more time, Riley. One. More. Time."
He
could not deny it to them and so, without any effort he lifted Lea from
the floor and layed her on her back in the bed. All the time, there was
a music playing somewhere in the building and it strangely fitted the situation.
As Riley kissed Lea's eyelashes the singer begun to tell his sad story.
Darling,
this is goodbye
Kiss me, I don't know why
You were always beautiful
When you closed your eyes
Lea
entwined her fingers into his hair trying to pull him closer, but Riley
was not ready yet to let go. He still wanted to look at every little piece
of her before losing himself into her body. So, he sat on the bed, his fingers
playing with her nipples as his eyes tried to memorize every single detail
of the woman that was now the meaning of his life.
Lea
knew exactly what was going through his mind. And her eyes instantly became
filled with tears, as her fears started to take form into her mind. He stood
up and unzipped his pants, letting them to rest together with her own clothes.
Lea raised and stopped him from taking his shirt. She smiled sweetly at
him.
"Let
me do it for you. Let me be your woman tonight. Please."
All
the pain that she was feeling came out on these words and he let her take
care of him just this one more time. Her fingers moved up to his hair and
rubbed his head. He closed his eyes and cursed the day he answered Graham's
call. Cursed the day he went to Sunnydale. He could feel her fingernails
going up his chest and felt his body trembling.
*
This is not fair. Not now.*
Lea
took his shirt off but did not make any movement to free him from his boxers,
instead she pulled him close and rubbed her body into his, her tongue playing
with his earlobe, her scent driving him crazy. He was extremely aroused,
he wanted to ran himself into her generous body and feel her tighten around
him. He was so hard, she could feel him poking into her. She wanted him
inside her, she wanted him to make the pain stop, to make the sun shine.
She wanted him not to go away. Still, neither one of them spoke a word as
their mouths met into a deep and passionate kiss.
She
bit his tongue and he retracted it and she followed it into his mouth with
her own. Riley's hand were caressing her ass, while Lea used her fingers
to play with his inner thighs. As the kiss deepened, she pulled away from
his mouth, licking his lips as her tongue left the confines of his mouth.
He whimpered. He hadn't meant to, but he was entranced by her. Never before,
making love to a woman had been this important and special. Not even with
Buffy. And he knew that it was because Lea had no other person in her mind
but him, and that was what made their lovemaking this special. Everything
she did was for him, and him alone. And he didn't want it to change, just
like he didn't want any other woman in his bed or in his life anymore.
Riley
grabbed her by the wrist and forced her down on the bed, caressing her neck
with the other hand, kissing her wildly. His mouth hungrier than before
as his cock tried to find its way out of the boxers and into the softness
of her body. She withdrew her tongue from his mouth and his taste lingered
on it as she took it back where it belonged. He tried to push her lips back
to his, as his hand was still on her neck but she wouldn't let him. As they
locked their eyes, the singer went on.
Leave
now
While we still can
Let's not wait until it all
Gets out of hand
It
was already out off hand and they knew it. Riley stopped on his tracks and
whispered.
"I
am not going. Not until you are free to come with me."
Running
her finger on his lips she sighted.
"It
is not that simple. I know how much you like Graham and how do you own him
your new life. You can't fail him now. You go, and I will follow you later."
He
let his head sink into her neck.
"You
can't be serious. It is Sunnydale, it is my own private nightmare. I can't
face it alone, Lea. Please."
She
felt the tears running down her cheeks and knew that what had to be done,
must be done. Even if it meant the end.
"You
must do it alone, Ri. You must go there and face it all, feel into your
soul if you have made the right choice. Me or the Slayer. I trust you, why
can't you trust yourself?"
"Cause
I am weak."
As
simple as this. He kissed her in the mouth and his tears mixed with her
own.
"No,
you're not. You're just like an afraid child. This is our private nightmare,
and even when you close your eyes in Sunnydale, I will be there to hold
your hand."
They
smiled at each other, trying to reassure their bond. Riley played a little
with a lock of her hair as she caressed his jaw. He bent his head and ran
his tongue in a circle on her breast before trailing it up her neck, past
her jaw and onto her lips. She responded hungrily and began sucking on his
bottom lip again. Riley could not help but remembering those wonderful lips
around his thickness sucking on him like that and he whimpered once more.
Lea
let his lip go, while her hands searched for his cock inside the boxers,
and they found it there hard and wet waiting to be touched. She was so focused
on him that when his fingers found their way inside her body she jumped
in surprise, but Riley pulled her closer. He had a need that wouldn't be
filled and he wouldn't leave until he had tasted her musty honey in his
fingers and his lips once more.
You're
looking for a criminal
Well I am a guilty man
I was the one, I was the one
He
trailed his kisses down from her neck to her breasts and started playing
with her right nipple, flicking it in his mouth and sucking on it. He could
feel her hands stroking him as he sucked her, her fingernails caressing
his groin making him lose his nerve. Riley released her nipple and with
a fast movement rolled their bodies in the bed letting Lea be on top of
him, with her legs spread along his body.
"Take
my boxers off, Lea."
Without
a word, she ran her fingers into the waistband of his boxers and bring it
to his knees. Riley moved his legs and in a second there were no more barriers
between them. Lea could feel the velvet touch of his cock pressed against
her body all his glory and could hardly wait to have him inside her. Riley
could not wait more and moving slowly he entered her, feeling her wetness
welcoming him once again. He closed his eyes as she began moving, pushing
herself onto him more and more with every thrust. Riley grabbed Lea's hips,
forcing her to slow down, to seize the moment, and understanding his touch
she made a round movement with her hips that made him let out a cry of joy.
She
bent her body and whispered into his ear.
"I
want you now, Riley."
He
moved his hand into her soft hair and pulled her close, their eyes meeting
as he spoke:
"I
want you always, woman."
He
rolled their bodies again standing on top of her now and begun to move again,
thrusting further every time and Lea closed her eyes screaming his name.
She was close, he could sense it and he was too, suddenly she flipped him
over and began riding him hard, harder than he had been. Lost in ecstasy,
he grabbed her hips and helped her along. He then slipped his finger down
to her clit and she moved against his finger.
It
was crazy and wild as it had never been, and as he felt himself coming,
the stupid song came to its final part.
We were wrong from the start
Maybe we tried just a little too hard
You don't have to blame yourself,
You always played your part
I was the one. I was.
Darling, look at us now - look at us
History won't put us down - won't put us down
Don't let anybody say you could have worked it out.
I was the one
As Lea lose her body into his arms, Riley held her strongly, trying to make
her a part of his own body. She kissed his shoulder blades and he spoke
out loud.
"Lea,
we were never wrong okay? I loved you from the start, just didn't know how
to show you."
"You
always showed me, Riley. You never knew how to show yourself. Not until
tonight. I guess that now you know."
He
gave her a little smile and kissed her nose.
"Are
you tired? Cause i would mind to try it all over again."
Far from her land of dreams, Lea felt someone touching her shoulder and
turned around to find Jose standing behind her with a concerned look into
his eyes.
"Are
you alright, Lea?"
She
nodded silently and looked at the sky again. The plane was no where to be
found, so she turned around and decided it was time to go.
"Yeah,
Jose, I am alright. And you? Are you ready to take me back home?"
She
had never expected to see him smiling in such a happy way just to hear her
say those words, but his answer was what touched her most.
"I've
been ready for this day since you come back for the first time. Let's go
little one, there are a lot of things waiting for you."
As
Lea followed him to the car, she wondered why everybody seemed to know more
about her life than herself.
During the first two hours of flight, Riley tried to sleep, but Lea's face
would not leave his mind. He could almost feel her touch, her breath and
her perfume. To get into that plane was the hardest thing he did since the
day he left Sunnydale.
Sunnydale.
He was heading back to a place that had only brought grieve and suffer into
his life. He was going back to hell, to fight a war that was not even his.
Thinking clearly now, he wondered where Buffy could be, what could have
happened that she had left and abandoned Sunnydale and her sacred duty.
*
There must have been something really important. Or someone.*
He
closed his eyes again and finished his scotch. He had seven more hours to
get to California, seven more hours to let his mind remember his last moments
with Lea over and over again. Seven more blessed hours until he had to face
hell one more time.
Lea left her bags in her grandma's front door and headed to the living room.
The house was quiet and Jose had told her that Nira was heading a Krysromani
, a special trial to judge a betrayal amongst the gypsies. She decided to
go home and wander through the memories.
There
was a guitar laying on the corner of the room, and she felt attracted to
it. Lea touched the instrument and felt a wave of pain taking her body.
Her knees weakened and she sat on the floor. That was for sure a new thing
into her already weird world.
"I
never thought you could become even more beautiful."
She
turned her head to the direction of the voice and there he was. A tall gypsy
man, with a red kerchief wrapped around his head trying to hide his long
dark hair. Lea could sense something strange about him, but she was not
able to tell what it was. She decided to gain some time.
"Have
we met? I don't remember you."
He
laughed and his laughter held the power of a thunder into a stormy night.
He took a few more steps closer to her and sit on the couch by her side.
A smiled was playing on his lips and his teeth were very white. Lea could
feel her weariness increasing, and if he wasn't a gypsy she could risk a
though that he was not human. His eyes were heavy and wise like if he had
lived a thousand lives. Her analysis was broke by his voice.
"No,
in fact I have seen you a thousand of times, but your grandmother would
never allow me to talk to you."
He
leaned his body, his face almost touching hers.
"Actually,
if she dreamt that I could be this near to you, she would kill me. Too bad
you denied your origins and heritage. If you had stayed here you would certainly
had learnt a deal more about me."
Hypnotized
by his dark eyes she asked.
"And
who are you?"
"I
am Nariel, and the right question is what am I."
Nira's
voice interrupted them.
"Shilmulo.
Marhime. A vampire, Lea. That is what Nariel is."
Lea
moved fast to get away from Nariel, pressing her back against the wall,
her eyes showing all her hate and fear.
"And
what is he doing here in our home, vó?"
Nariel
leaned on the couch.
"I
am here to teach you. Cause you know, into each generation there is a chosen
one. A Slayer." He watched Lea closely waiting to see the shock into
her eyes, but she did not move, so he continued. "And into every gypsy
clan there is also a chosen one, a Seer, a Witch, a Saint, a Cursed. It
doesn't matter how they call you, Lea, you are the chosen of this clan and
you have been denying this for too long."
She
looked back at Nira, expecting her to argue with that evil creature, but
her grandmother didn't moved a finger to help her, instead she pushed her
a little more into the fire.
"You
had to lose your man to decide coming back home."
"I
did not lose him!" Lea screamed.
"Ah,
but you will," Nariel calmly added, "unless you free yourself
against all the prejudice you have into your heart and give your body and
soul to the clan, to the magic and to the power."
Seeing
that she was still hesitant he added, "cause he will need you more
than ever, and you will be the only one able to save him."
Now
Nariel got Lea's complete attention, and that made him happy. He stood up
and shot her.
"Get
rid of this clothes, and put on some real gypsy clothes. Wear your hair
lose and meet me outside at nine o'clock."
He
walked to Nira, and taking her hands to his lips he whispered:
"This
is gonna be a hard job, baro. But the girl is worth a try."
The
elder gypsy shook her head and answered.
"Thank
you, warrior. I should always mention you in my prayers to The Powers."
He
kissed Nira's hand and left the two women alone in the room. Nira walked
to Lea and took her into her arms.
"Are
you ready, my child, to face your destiny?"
Bitterness
was in her voice when she answered:
"Do
I have any choice?"
