Chapter 8: Choose Wisely
Previously…
Linking his pinky to hers, his voice soft, "You can hold on to me. I won't let you get lost in the passage of time." They stared at each other with a look of anticipation, waiting for the other to say or do something. Fenix reached for Lore, wrapping her arms around his torso, and Lore returned her embrace and wrapped his long arms around her shoulders and caressed her head. He felt 'it' again. And then he knew, he found the answer he was seeking earlier, he couldn't deny this feeling. He loved her. He kissed her temple and looked at the stars that witnessed their silent proposal. Fenix nuzzled into his chest with tears of emotion overflowing from her. Lore… I won't let you get lost either. I'm here for you, too. You were right… it wasn't serendipity that we met. With Q taking me to this time… the accident at the academy which led to those horrible experimentations… and being exiled here… I was finally able to be here. If I could change any of my past, I wouldn't because… I might've not ended up here with you. Lore closed his eyes loving the feeling of embracing her knowing he was never going to feel lonely, ever. Be my eternal Fenix… fly with me across the universe… forever and ever.
Lore trailed his hands up Fenix's bare legs. Making his way between her thighs, he began kissing her neck and teased her womanhood with his nimble fingers, he smirked feeling wetness between her soft lips. "Mmm... I love the things you do to me, Lore… Oh god..." Fenix whispered into Lore's ear and began to nibble his neck. He grinned in triumph feeling the slickness generously covering his fingers. "I know exactly what pleasures you. Every touch.. when… how… where…" And slipped a finger in her teasingly, "...I remember every detail." He breathlessly answered. Kissing her fiercely and passionately, his long fingers entangled in her long hair, he gripped his throbbing member to tease her folds. Her moans was music to his ears. You beg and plead with your moans… He entered into her hot sheath with a moan. Her legs squeezed around his middle with each of his languid, deep thrusts. He adored her dainty hands bashfully exploring his body. He relished how her muscles clenched around his manhood. Drooping his head beside her ear, his eyes rolled back in pure pleasure. She began moaning louder as she began to climax. An intrusively loud crash of the cymbal made him open his eyes in shock. He sat up to see what interrupted his intensely sexual dream, Fenix stood dead-still with a plate of food in one hand, and a mug of tea in the other. Her eyes wide like a deer caught in the head lights, knowing she made a faux pas when she saw Lore scowling at her. She had accidentally hit the cymbal as she was walked around clumsily rudely waking Lore. Fenix immediately apologized for her ungraceful action. Lore shot her an irritated look as he stood up with a huff and put on his black sweater that fitted close to his body. Fenix noticed how he seemed frustrated but couldn't help but notice his naked torso as he changed. She sat down at the counter and sipped on her tea while cautiously stole a glance of his erection pitching in his pants while he got his 'silicon-tea' as she likes to call it. Dude! He's got a boner! Why!? She quickly averted her eyes when he turned around. Shit, he's still pissed off. I didn't walk into his drum set and hit the cymbal on purpose, duh. Guy doesn't even NEED sleep! She watched him walking towards her, his erection still present but not as prominent. She greeted him, "Morning… Sorry about waking you." He sneered as he sat down beside her, "Well, it's not like I need sleep any ways." Fenix inwardly winced at his harsh tone, even if she understood why, "Can't blame you for being upset." Lore sat down with a sigh, "I was having a good dream. A really good dream is all. I know you're a klutz." he smirked and Fenix returned to eating her breakfast. I haven't been able to stop thinking about what he said a few weeks ago, it was really deep. Wow, I'm so articulate. That's all I could think about, it's like a broken record or something. I'm pretty sure Lore noticed how distracted I've been from time to time. There's no WAY he hasn't noticed. We made that promise to each other. Why was is left so friggin' ambiguous? I've just went on as usual with him. Just hanging out, looking up stuff, checking out this and that... At least tried to… Fenix took a bite of strawberry shortcake and a sip of her tea. I should talk to him. All I know is that I want to be by his side, and whatever happens I'll cross that bridge when we get to it. What's that saying? 'Come what may'? Man, he's looks so deep in thought. I wonder what he's thinking other than calculating the theory of everything because that's what he does. He's an android. I forget that he's an android, to me, he's… Lore. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I don't how to explain it. Whatever it is, it's intense and good. We have synchronicity that nothing comes close to it.
Lore nursed his silicon-based drink as he contemplated. I never used to have vivid dreams or sexual dreams. Ever. Not until she came along… We've been going on as usual for three weeks, two days, twenty one hours, and fifteen seconds. Am I having these dreams because I love her? Human emotions are indeed strange. Humans tend to want to experience a physical expression of intimacy with their romantic partner. I'm a bloody android! I have no need for procreation or anything of the sort. Besides, we aren't in a romantic partnership. I never thought I'd experience desire. Like fire. It'll consume everything until she is mine, including myself. These emotions I feel for her are leading me to illogical thoughts. It's contradicting, interfering my analytical thought processes. Sifting through my usual thoughts, the one that keeps standing out is her. She keeps plaguing my thoughts no matter what I'm doing or thinking. I can't seem to stop thinking about her. She is the biological female equivalent of myself, a man-made God. Fenix... my invincible Goddess at my side. The stars will be our playground, and the universe will be our kingdom. His eyes widened at his epiphany. I want her… She's already my eternal since I am hers… He glanced to his left to see her sitting at the end of the counter, resting her head on her arms on the counter like the first time he ever saw her when she was reassembling him. Her eyes were closed as her bare legs dangled below her pyjama shorts. That dream...it will haunt me. She's still young. I'll have to wait until she's ready to have me... all of me. If it takes a hundred years, so be it. I'll always wait for her. After all, we have an unlimited amount of time. Nothing and no one else can cease this fire. Everything and everyone pales in comparison. I will not settle for anything or anyone else. She will be my queen and I, her king.
Fenix hopped of her chair to put clean up her dishes. Walking back, her eyes traced the span of his broad shoulders and messy hair. He began wearing his hair like that since we sparred the very first time. It makes him look more… natural. Her lips slightly ajar, about to speak but halted as she neared him. She had to choose her words carefully, "Lore, I uh..." He spun in his chair to face her with a neutral expression. "...about what you said a few weeks ago about being by my side... that you'll be my eternal, that meant everything to me..." She fidgeted her fingers feeling shy all of the sudden, "...To finally have someone I can lean on if I need to, and... not needing to always have my guard up, and to be able to show my vulnerability without the fear... You're my best friend, but more. You're my ride or die-" She sighed in her poor choice of words as her shoulders sagged, "You know what? I'm totally screwing this up, I don't know how to describe it because words can't do justice." Lore put his drink aside, his golden eyes were soft with adoration for the girl as he tenderly commanded, "Then show me." She looked confused, "What?" Lore explained, "If you're having trouble verbally communicating what you're trying to convey, then show me through actions. Rather… physical touches." Will you kiss me, Fenix? I'd love it if you did… She blushed with a tight-lipped smile and nodded. Their height difference was almost the same in their current position, Lore slouched a little to meet her. She slowly lifted both of her hands and started to touch the sides of his face. Her touch was as light and soft as a feather. Lore struggled to keep his eyes open upon feeling an intense sensation of pleasure until he eventually succumbed when one of her hands ran through his hair at the nape. Her fingertips touched his hairline, traced his eyebrows and down his distinguished nose. Then, to his curved lips, to his ears and down the curve of his jaw. Her purple eyes taking every bit of him in, watching his Adam's apple move when he swallowed. She gingerly trailed down his lovely neck, then back up to his temples and touched her forehead to his closing her eyes. Her voice quiet, almost a whisper, "Is this okay, Lore?" His eyes remained closed and swallowed the lump forming in his throat, his voice quiet yet hoarse, "Keep going... Help me understand more of what you mean, Fenix..." Her eyes opened to inspect his closed ones, she pleaded, "Promise to keep your eyes closed? It's easier when you're not looking at me so much." He lightly smiled hearing her pounding heart, "I promise, I'll keep my eyes closed." You're adorable… You haven't the slightest clue how much I want you to kiss me, Fenix. It's taking everything in me to stop myself from kissing you first. She continued her ministrations as she gently kissed his forehead, another one on his cheek, and another, right at the corner his lips. She trailed her full lips down his neck. Lore tilted his head up, extending his neck enjoying the sensual intimacy, secretly wanting more. She planted a kiss on the pulse of his neck. Her lips lingered for a moment, then sliding her hands to his shoulders as their resting place, she slowly pulled back to see Lore. His eyes fluttering open, their eyes met. She couldn't determine his expression, feeling embarrassed from the intimacy she had shown him. When he looks at me those intense, cobra yellow eyes, I freeze. I feel… powerless. She tried to slide her hands off of his shoulders but he grabbed her wrists, stopping her. His hold was firm but not hurting her in the slightest. It took everything in his power to hold himself back from kissing her senseless and seducing her. His eyes held affection and longing as he sanctioned, "Kiss me if you want to seal the deal. I will be yours and you will be mine for eternity." Her eyes widened as he continued, "Choose wisely, there's no going back." He released her wrists giving her time to make a decision of her life, his ultimatum. Her hands bunching his sweater, she closed her eyes and thought hard exhaling deeply. Oh Fenix… I know it's not fair of me to give you such an ultimatum, but I must know... Not knowing is killing me with every second. And… I want you to kiss me. The stakes are high. If you reject me, I'll have nothing. If you accept, I'll have you with an eternal kiss. I'll have an eternal Fenix.Then, she opened her eyes and took a deep breath, "Can you close your eyes while I think for a moment, Lore?" He complied as he listened to her erratic pulse of her neck. She loosened her hands and sensually moved to his jaw and traced his lips once more, her lips quivered with nerves and she leaned in slowly. Hesitating, she swallowed the dryness in her throat. Fenix, you're killing me... Either kiss me or kill me. And I can't kiss her, I'll scare her if I were to kiss her... She's too young for my advances… If she doesn't kiss me, then what? I don't think I can hold myself back… I don't think I even care that she's young any more. She softly pressed her lips to his. He tenderly returned the kiss, enjoying the softness of her lips. Thank the stars she kissed me. He smiled into he kisses and tried to sneak his tongue between an opening. She pulled back abruptly with a yip when he started to intensify the kiss, her face bright red, eyes wide and her heart beating wilder than forest fire. With her fingertips, she touched her lips that had just kissed Lore, she processed what happened between themselves. Oh… My… God… My first kiss… I just kissed Lore… My first kiss was with Lore… Lore smiled, savouring her innocence and what they had just shared, a sensual sacred vow. She was still dumbfounded, she mumbled, "That was my first kiss. It was… really nice." Lore replied, "Same here." He grinned, "Don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from." He stood up still grinning from ear-to-ear and added, "Get dressed, with all that excitement I feel like going on an adventure." She replied with a grin, "Yes, dear." and stumbled around the corner and got dressed. She was putting on her holster that held a tanto on her left hip, and a modified phaser strapped onto her right thigh. Lore had a similar holster carrying a wakizashi on his left and a modified phaser. Fenix unsheathed her tanto, "Gotta say, you did a bitchin' job altering them. They're light, stronger and easier to handle." He shrugged, "It was pretty easy. Just swapped some materials and balanced the tang is all. You did good on modifying the phasers. I've always liked the look of antique guns. I like how you set them to mimic the explosion similar to an actual gun. Much faster." and whipped his phaser out with a twirl. She mentioned, "Right? They look better, feel better, and it's more satisfying than shooting off a phaser. I used to shoot off guns with Oisin back in the day in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere. Use empty cans and some wildlife for target practice." Lore tilted his head, "What did you do with the wildlife you killed?" "Oh, we shot only snakes and birds so… we'd eat them after. Don't want to take a life if we're not going put them to use. He used the snake skins for making guitar straps for me. We also used the feathers for oil spills when we're working on vehicles." Lore nodded, "Resourceful of you guys utilizing your kills. Are you ready?" Her eyes met Lore's, "Yeah, I'm ready." and the two ventured out.
Lore couldn't stop himself from smiling as they ran, feeling pure happiness, true happiness. Glancing at Fenix, she too had a smile as she ran. The pair felt as if they were flying though clouds. Fenix knew choosing to stay with him was right. She felt it with every fibre of her being to spend the rest of her eternal life with this person. It didn't matter to her that she was still too young to be making a decision of this size because, she had nothing to lose. She had already lost her family, her belongings that held her personal attachments and memories, and her rights as a person. A nomad was what she had unintentionally become because of the cards given to her.Monuments and castles will crumble, civilizations will fall, people will die, nothing is ever forever. She was all she had left, but now, she finally has something, someone by her side. Glancing at Lore, she felt something within her soul she never felt before, an eternal fire. They were two wild creatures running high on freedom.
