Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Twenty Nine

As Faellia exited the room, still smiling about the sleeping lovers, Axia left her room and saw her grinning. Asking what she was grinning about, she opened the door and allowed Axia to see them still sleeping on top of each other. Axia smiled as well as she closed the door. They then both headed down the stairs and met up with the men that were gathered at the table. Axia sat at the head of her table with Lex on one side and Kiniro, now well rested at the other side. Aurora was at the end, and the two chairs remaining were noticibly absent.

"Where is Arden and Lily?" Lex asked as Axia tried not to snicker

"They are a bit busy still upstairs" Faellia said grinning ear to ear

"Still? What did you do?" Lex said frowning

"Only what was necessary. And she didn't seem to mind!" she said as she set a plate down of Peco meat for Lex.

"Faellia, what did you do?" Lex asked her again, getting angry

"I locked them into a room and let nature takes it course. They are asleep right now, on top of each other, if you must know." she said with both hands on her hips.

"That was not what she needed. She needed to feel secure, not forced into anything. For Porings sake Faellia, she was raped repeatedly for the last 5 years!" Lex screamed at her so furious at her he was shaking

Whispering softly and shaking as well she whispered "She was? Master, I'm sorry! I didn't know that. But Master, if she wasn't ready, Arden would not have been able to make love to her. And he did, they are both naked up there and she's curled up into his arms." Faellia said softly

Axia then patted his arm and said "We Drake girls are made of stern stuff. If Arden was able to overcome her fear, then we have made progress. She doesn't fear what happens between a man and a woman any longer and that is a very important step in her recovery. Plus we all love her, and if we can show that, she might come more out of her shell. She will have to confront that evil monk eventually, otherwise she will never be the same. Just as I have to deal with Ryan." she said, holding Kiniro's hand while speaking.

"Querida, you don't have to. I can deal with him for you." he said

"No love, this is something I have to do as well. I spared his life, but he has to be punished." she said

"Well then since Kin will still not be able to be moved, even though he refused to eat upstairs, we should get going." Lex said getting up

"Lex, we don't have to go now." Aurora said finally after listening to the entire exchange

"Fine, but we should go tomorrow morning. The longer we delay the worse mood he is going to be in." he said sitting back down and finishing the supper

"Lex, you are not head of the family, so stop acting like it" Axia said

"I have been for 190 years, it's a hard habit to break, okay." he said

"Wait a second...You were made guardian at 10 years old!" Aurora said and Kiniro just wordlessly looked at him

"Yes I was, I was aged and that is when I sent Aldo to the academy. To find you Axia." he said barely eating the food.

"And he did find me..." she said drifting off at the end

"And I found you, Querida" Kiniro said holding up her hand and kissing the back of it

"So Lex, why don't you do sweet things like that for me?" Aurora said announcing their relationship to them

"Because you don't like sweet things like that." Lex said matter of factly, as Axia and Kiniro both stared at them dumbfounded. Then Axia grinned and leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Welcome to the family Aurora." Kiniro said, not sure when he accepted that he was part of this strange family
