Summer Party

Chapter 2

"Smokey Eyes"

"I'm taking a break!" I exclaimed in a little bit of frustration.

"But where do you think you're going? You know that we have to put up these decorations all over the gardens!" that fiery woman yelled behind me.

I turned around and saw this wild, smokey eyed Phoenix, "I'm going to get lemonade before we start running around these never ending temple grounds. Do you want some?"

"I want you to hurry up and get your ass back here. So that we can finish this, it's blazing hot right now. It's also 3 PM, if we hurry up it will be around 5 or 6 when we are done. If we don't it will be probably 8 or 9!" the fiery phoenix replied with her infamous sharp tongue.

I raked my fingers through my loose, wavy hair, "Two or three hours?" I contemplated.

"Yes depending on when you get your ass back here!" she barked at me then turned to tend to the several candles and lanterns awaiting our labors.

I watched her lightly kick at a lantern causing her short, pleated white skirt to flare up with her swift movement. It complimented the V-neck white racerback, tight shirt that she was wearing that showed off her gracefully chilling shoulders and arms. Those lean, ravishing legs that were toned but not too muscular were shown as she bent over to pick up the lantern to inspect it with her seemingly adept fingers. 'Sour than sweet...' I laughed to myself and I seemed to awaken the phoenix.

She looked up at me and her eyes squared, "Lemonade? NOW!" she barked.

"Okay! Okay! Don't get your panties in a bunch..." I walked backwards into one of the main corridors, "Or you could... and I could help you..." I ducked because a tea light came flying towards me at a hurling speed. 'Luckily, she's not Makoto, with that arm... or else that would have spot on hit me in the forehead. And shocked the shit out of me... Literally.' I chuckled and kept walking down the corridor to the kitchen, "Ya sure you don't want any?" I asked again. There was no reply, 'Salvation!' I thought as I kicked open the kitchen door.

"Wassup Neph?!" I said with excitement and watched Nepherite slice some melons on a cutting board with a wolfish grin. While Makoto seemed to be busy preparing some burgers. She rinsed her hands and walked over to the refridgerator. "Hey Makoto!" I was welcomed with a warm smile from her, 'Why are these two so happy?' I thought and looked over them, 'They look very relaxed.' I noted, 'And Neph keeps smiling... I thought he hated being dragged to the kitchen with her?'

"Hey Jadeite!" Nepherite huskily said with a smile. "Would you like something?"

"Some lemonade?" Makoto playfully offered two medium sized jugs, one was the typical yellowish color and the other one was pinkish.

"You are a mind reader Makoto!" I smiled and walked over towards her.

"The regular one is for yummy and generally a good time!" Makoto accentuated. "The pinkish strawberry one is for a really good time." Makoto overly accentuated.

"I like the way you think Makoto!" I winked at her. I turned around to look at Nepherite with a smile but he was scowling and slicing the fruit a little more aggresively than before, 'What's eating him?'

"Just trying to make sure you take the edge off anyway possible!" Makoto smiled and returned to preparing the burgers.

"Thanks!" I walked back towards Neph, "Wish me luck?"

Nepherite's face scrunched to one of confusion, "For?"

"There's a phoenix outside that's ready to behead me with her fiery tongue and I'm not even talking in the good way." I joked and Makoto seemed to smiled a little, "We haven't even begun to put up any of the lanterns yet." I rolled my eyes. Nepherite and even Makoto laughed at my observation.

"Somehow you always make it out of every battle alive. Despite so I have very few worries about how you'll deal with the phoenix!" Nepherite teased.

"Okay! If I'm not at the party..."I said pushing open the kitchen door with my back and leaving the kitchen with laughs behind me.

I walked down the hallway to see the phoenix sitting in the shade with the lanterns and already starting to assemble them. I walked over to her and she seemed a little frustrated. Her smoldering eyes that were usually ablaze were now lit up with hope at the sight of lemonade. I watched her lick those glossed, ruby red lips and her eyes weren't meeting mine but settled on my hands. "Would you like some of my juice Rei?" I offered her the regular lemonade.

Rei openly rolled her deep violet eyes, "I would like some lemonade!" she accentuated and grabbed the other pinkish strawberry jug from my hands. She opened it and started to drink some but then the smell and taste caught up to her, "Is there alcohol in this Jadeite?" Rei eyed me suspiciously. Before I could answer her, Rei took a huge swig of the lemonade and eyed me while drinking. "Tastes good!" she licked her lips and twisted the cap back on and handed it to me.

I caught a glimpse of those violet eyes and they sparkled with curiosity but were ablaze again. I grabbed the bottle quickly turning around, "You never cease to amaze me..." I murmured to myself. 'Those eyes always get me going... the pure smolder of them...'

"What?" she piped,

"Nothing." I calmly said staring back into the phoenix's eyes and they sparkled, "I guess we better get started on this three hour setup." I suggested.

"Finally!" Rei whispered and led the way. I was more than happy to follow her lead. Her long raven locks followed her abrupt turn on her heels but danced around her lean figure with a flirty flutter from her teasingly, short, white, pleated skirt and I started hanging lanterns per her normal, bossy orders.

'Has it been an hour yet?' I questioned myself as I wiped some sweat from my face with a cloth that Rei packed with the lanterns. I noticed she was sweating a bit too and wiped her face down that elegant neck of hers. In a subtle trail plunging towards the her modest but teasing cleavage. 'Damn! No matter how sour she is that body is always sweet on the eyes!' I gazed at that form in front of me and I caught her heated gaze, which surprisingly wasn't filled with anger or held any traces of contempt.

"Thirsty?" Rei offered the strawberry lemonade with a glimmer in her smokey eyes and a small smile.

"For me?" I paused and obliged by receiving the lemonade gratefully. "Why are you being so kind?" I asked mischievously between gulps. 'She seems so relaxed for once... And just so nice.'

She eyed me before answering, "Because I can assume," she stood on her toes to hang a lantern, "That having to carry a dehydrated you back to the temple would set me back further than you just helping me with these lanterns." she finished hanging the lantern and then turned to look at me, "So if I have to be nice," she accentuated, "Than I will be!"

I rested the pitcher on the ground next to me, got up, and walked towards her in a cool, even stride not averting my gaze from her. Until I stood behind her, I boldly placed a hand on her hip, "You hung it a little crooked." my gaze settled on straightening the lantern then back towards those deep violet eyes.

"I know what you're doing," she breathed with a smile.

She looked over her shoulder and her eyes lit up with a fire that I didn't recognize on her, 'Not anger. Not annoyance. Not frustration...' I moved in closer to hang another lantern, our bodies briefly brushed against each other,"What am I doing Rei?" I asked slyly than backed away to reclaim my previous spot.

"Trying to... Perfect all the lanterns." she said distracted. "I think that I'll just be happy if they're hung though. They don't have to be perfect..." she murmured. Rei grabbed a lantern and walked away slowly. The foliage seemed to make her disappear.

"Rei?" I got up and began to look for her. "Where are you?" I walked along her trail, 'She couldn't have gone too far...' I reasoned with myself. Until I heard a light hint of laughter from above. I looked up and there was Rei. She was sitting on a higher branch looking at something. "There you are."

"Yea..." she said lightly distracted while she fingered something along the limbs of the tree.

"What are you doing up there?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Sorry I was hanging a lantern but got distracted by this one Japanese blossom... It seemed to survive the blazing heat of summer." she said simply but very fascinated with her flower.

"You seem very intrigued by the flower." I said in amazement.

"Yea... I appreciate its strength and persistence. I find beauty in that..." she breathed, "I'm always ablaze, putting the heat on others but it's those who survive my heat that I treasure." her eyes softly focused on me. "But only those that survive my heat receive my appreciation."

'She's blossoming in front of me?' I asked myself, 'My beautiful Phoenix...' I reached out my hand, "Rei come down." I simply pleaded. Her eyes shot towards mine and gazed for a little while.

"You're right, I think I've taken enough of a break..." she slowly stood up. Rei seemed to be doing fine coming down until her heel snagged on a limb and she slipped. "Aah!"

"Rei!" I yelled in slight fear, I opened my arms to catch her and she fell right into them. I caught her and couldn't help but notice that beautiful face, 'Those deep violet eyes are the softest I've ever seen, my Phoenix is actually opening up to me. I just want to steal a kiss...' She looked at me through those long black lashes and her sweet lips.

"You tell anyone I tripped and fell off of a tree like that clumsy Odango Atama..." she began to say.

I rested her on her feet. 'Moment ruined... Great job Rei!' I thought to myself.

"I'll shoot one of my fire arrows so far up your up your..."

I kissed her and silenced her venomous assault pressing her body intimately into the Japanese cherry blossom's trunk. 'Mmm her skin is so soft and lips too.' I briefly rocked my growing erection into her soft curves as I gripped, enjoying the feel of her under my fingers, "Shut-up already." I playfully growled and stepped back a little. She looked shocked but shocked me by kissing me with such overwhelming passion that matched mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck drawing me close again, her hands made it to my hair tugging on my strands. I couldn't control myself anymore, I lifted her legs, clutched them to my thighs, and kissed her harder. 'Mmm... I was craving her taste...' I enjoyed the taste of those sweet lips on mine and I opened my eyes to look into those fiery violet eyes that were staring back at me passionately. I couldn't help but smirk and she bit down on my bottom lip antagonizing me further and turning me on even more. We pulled away reluctantly gasping for air. I looked over her body between ragged breaths and hers was just as labored, those delicious breasts rising and falling with the same exasperation. I momentarily admired them pulled against her taut shirt, 'It flatters her curves so nicely and I wonder how delicious they taste...'

"Too much to handle?" Rei cocked her head at me and teased, running her pointer finger across my bottom lip.

I took that skilled hand that was just playing with my lip, kissed her palm, and nipped her finger. "Never... believe me you, you have no idea what I can handle." I whispered gently. My eyes racked over her like a starved man finally resting on that angelic face. I saw something change in her gaze from shock to desire, Rei wrapped her legs around me. I kissed her passionately again and her hands made their way back to my hair while one of my hands cupped her thighs and inched towards her sexy ass. My other hand openly stroked her surprisingly wet panties and I moaned at the heat radiating from Rei, 'Oh how she sets me ablaze...' I thought. Something in me shifted, 'She's going to moan my name!' I worked my fingers across her soaking sex and stared into those fiery violet eyes. I looked at my Phoenix and could see the burning desire. The spark ignited and there it was, I slid her panties aside and felt her wetness. My erection was stirring in reaction to the Rei's core that was wet for me, alone. 'Mmm... I'll prove myself worthy of your heat.' I slid a finger in her tight wet sex and a slightly muffled gasp escaped those ruby lips. I openly moaned at how welcoming she receptive was to me. Her fire was spreading wildly within me but I desperately wanted her to enjoy every second of this. She stared boldly at me and I fingered her soft folds, I began softly but my Phoenix proved strong and coyly smiled at me. I leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Not enough?" she kissed me softly.

"It's okay... it's a lot of…" Rei moaned but bit her lip to contain the noise.

I found her spot and I stroked it repeatedly, so that he body could absorb the waves of pleasure. "Heat? Is that what you meant to say?" I toyed with her and kissed along her neck and feeling her honey surround my fingers, 'Fuck! She's so wet!' I started sucking on her neck and she moaned, throwing her head back. I hadn't noticed but my fingers picked up speed and starting moving faster. My fingers were mimicking how badly and quickly I wanted to take her, Rei responded to me again by opening her legs for more of me. 'Mmm... sweet Phoenix!' I stopped sucking on the base of her neck and kissed it before I left a mark. I tugged at her shirt and freed one of her swollen nipples, it heaved with Rei's quickening breaths, 'She's close...' I took her nipple in my greedy mouth and felt her tighten around me almost instinctively she opened her legs more to me.

I probed more and despite the slight moans, I could tell something was off. I released her swollen nipple from my lips and that flawless, delicious skin. I looked up into half-hooded, smokey eyes, my Phoenix's eyes, and I could see the traces hesitance and resistance. I kissed her along her neck, "It's okay Rei..." I soothed her. I rubbed my concrete erection against her inner thigh and heard her gasp, "I'm hard for you too... I want you just as bad." I looked her in the eyes and confessed.

"Let go Rei..." I whispered in her and she tightened and orgasmed around my fingers. Finally, letting go with a long moan her body slightly slumped into my chest. My eyes raked over her deliciously sexy form and caught her gaze, I leaned in to kiss her when I heard footsteps. I prompted her to stand on her feet. Rei began to dress herself in a hurried fashion.

"I should have known you'd act like a snug douche after having the satisfaction." she said in a rushed but scalding tone.

Her eyes clouded in a way, I didn't like... 'She's boiling and sooo wrong.' I thought as I adjusted my erection and pressed her back into the tree with my body, kissing her with a searing passion but she shoved me away.

"What the fuck is your problem?" she pointed at me, "Don't ever fucking do that again! Let's just finish these damned lights!" she stomped in anger but was distracted.

"And who thought it would be a good idea if the two of you were left alone in the gardens?" Rei's mouth went slack at the unexpected guest.

"I wasn't doing what you thought I was..." I leaned over and whispered, which she replied to me with a punch to the chest.
