Chapter 10: Home Sweet Home

LEMON PEOPLES! SO WARNING!

A/N: No battles in this short chapter. Warning sexual innuendoes implied.

The island itself was deathly silent as Virgil stepped foot onto the old rock. The stillness sent shivers down his spine. His minions had long since gone. As he approached his home his steps became slower. Somewhere deep inside he dreaded what he would see through those doors. Gently he pushed the door open and to his surprise it didn't squeak. Walking in he shut the door quietly behind him. Most of the stuff in the rooms that he passed were spattered with dried blood and broken. Most of the curtains looked like they had been shredded by animal claws which was probably the way of things. On the ground was dried splotches of brown and he could smell blood. The air for some reason was thick with it. Worry began to crease his brow as he rushed for the place where he sensed his mate was. She was in their bedroom. He quietly walked into the room. Unlike the rest of the house this room was well maintained as if she slept in this bed every night. There was no blood anywhere in this room. She was on the balcony railing staring out across the vast expanse of the ocean.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

Don't say a word.
He noticed her voice wasn't icy it was just laced with sadness and pain. She wasn't the fiery spirit that he'd fallen in love with. Determination set in as he promised himself that he'd see the spitfire that he called his mate again. The sad thing is he knew exactly how to do it.

Don't even think about it, she growled.
His arousal was clearly evident to her demonic senses. I'd be gone before you could even make a move to catch me.

Until Mundus is destroyed I suggest you keep your hands off of me.
Ariana knew that if they became mates this night that she'd go into battle pregnant again. She couldn't, no wouldn't face the possibility that she would loose another kit to Mundus's greed and darkness.
What's bothering you mate? When I was Virgil you couldn't wait to get me in bed?
Van, you're not Virgil by a long shot.
His shoulders drooped. The reason is simple mate (affection evident in her voice when she said mate') if we were to become mates completely I'd go into the fighting pregnant again.
The truth of her words hit him like a ton of bricks. She was worried about a child they would create if they mated this night. His mate was right, he knew it, and he hated it.

Van if you don't...
He leapt forward shutting her up effectively with a kiss. Pulling her forward he dragged her into the bed room. They didn't once break the kiss. Until they landed on the soft bed with Ariana pinned underneath him. She broke the kiss.

I know you want this as much as I do.
I do that's not the question. I cannot risk another life to that bastard!
I'll protect the both of you, he purred into her ear.
Are you always going to be this sex crazed?
I'm a male that yearns for his mate.
Stupid question.
he purred again this time sending shivers down her spine.
Will you stop?
Nope, Mundus be damned he's not going to ruin my first mating with my mate.
First and last asshole. You'll be bound to me for eternity.
Mine always.
That's what I thought.
Hey what do you mean last mating?
I am your one and only mate Van. You were my first and will be my last.
A low deep chuckle escaped him. He began to lovingly nip at her shoulder area where her neck and shoulder joined. She tried really hard to bite back a moan of pleasure. A smirk graced his features as she tried to fight what she felt at the moment.
Hey Ariana?

She sensed something was wrong and knew this was Van. He was still just a kid. Whereas Virgil wasn't when they first mated.
Are you ready for this again? I remember...
Let your instincts guide you my sex crazed love.
Ariana, I'm serious if you don't...
Shut up... she growled.
Pulling him forward she silenced his protests with a deep passionate kiss. No words were needed. Van slid his hands up and down his mates body drawing shivers from her. They worked at getting each other's clothes off most of it ended up shredded from Ariana's claws. If anyone would of passed by the house they would of heard screams of pleasure that hadn't existed for 200 years. Two bodies were reunited.

Hours later...

Van lay asleep amongst the ruffled sheets. Ariana stood on the balcony in her large black youkai form. Her tail thrashed angrily. Of all the stupid mistakes she had made in her life this one was the worst. She paced back and forth in the confines of the balcony. The confines of the small space kept her from running from what she had just done. As she paced her scent was changing. Any youkai could tell. It was painful for her to realize that she had succumbed to the desires that plagued her body.
So the mighty half god has fallen because of lust.
What the...
She didn't even have time to yelp in pain as darkness swamped her vision.

Awaking hours late she could barely move an inch. Her body was tied up. Front feet were bound to front feet and back to back. Her capturer was smart she'd give him that. He had muzzled her. My baby...
Don't worry about the child within you half goddess. I am not that cruel. I may work for Mundus but I'm not that cruel.
He carefully undid the muzzle.
Why have you taken me?
Because he commanded it of me.
I figured as much. You didn't hurt Van did you?
The lover of yours? No. Mundus wants the pleasure of killing him, himself.
Can you untie me please? I have to keep moving.
You can't escape so I don't see why not Ariana.
He undid the ties binding her feet.
May I learn the name of the man that captured me?
They call me Raziel.

A/N: Well what do you think? Don't kill me Please... I don't want to be kicked off this site or anything. And a lot of people like this story. It's better than my last one where everyone chewed me out. This is my most favored story. So I'm pleading with you. If your offended by this then tell me so I can correct it. Not many people read anything I write.
