The Summer of Love (Pt 3)

A Goldfish Without Its Gills

The moment Heidi had scurried off to bed, at around nine that evening, Stephanie was on Ranger in a heartbeat. They were outside in the gazebo with the privacy screens down, enjoying a few glasses of fine red wine. There were moments in which Ranger would taint the temple that was his body, this happened to be one of those moments. They wouldn't let Heidi have any, but she could enjoy a glass of juice. It was a bit odd that at nine, Mew came bounding over, placing his tiny paws on Heidi's leg and letting loose a string of meows that had Heidi getting up and scurrying away to go to bed. oh well, Ranger and Stephanie weren't going to dwell much on it, especially when there was much fun to be had between the two of them.

Stephanie climbed in Ranger's lap, lavishing his face with kisses, her hands reaching for the hem of his black tank top. They paused in their kissing, so Stephanie could pull of the offending clothing over Ranger's head, and Ranger could pull the strings of Stephanie's bikini top off, so her breast could fall out easily. Stephanie groaned and arched her back, as Ranger's large fingers found her erect nipples, pulling and tugging at the pink pebbles, making jolts of pleasure run through her body. Their lips met in a heated kiss again, their hands grabbing and pinching at every inch of bare skin they could find.

Stsphanie pulled back, with a coy smile, and then slid down, sliding out of Ranger's lap and ending up in between his legs, her fingers pulling at the draw strings of Ranger's swimming trunks. Ranger lifted his hips, as Stephanie pulled them down, letting his erection spring forth in the warm tropical air. Stephanie gripped the wide base of his cock, and leaned forward, her tongue snaking out and licking the tip of the sensitive head, tracing his slit, and circling around the head, dipping low to get at the large vein underneath it. Ranger let out a low hiss, his hands threading through Stephanie's hair as she licked his cock. The sight of his woman, the lewd noises, she was making as she licked at his cock, it was all too much for him, he was going to explode. Ranger nearly let out a sound, as Stephanie slid her mouth down his length, taking him all the way into her mouth. he arched his back as Stephanie bobbed her head up and down on his cock, her hands finding his sac and playing with them. Ranger placed a hand on the back of Stephanie's head, guiding her up and down his cock, his eyes clenched tight with pleasure, dios, only this woman could make him fall apart so easily!

When Ranger felt the twinges of his orgasm approach, he pulled Stephanie off his dick, with much reluctance, and said, in a husky voice, "Now it's my turn, Babe, and I plan on having you pass out by the end of this night."

Stephanie smiled and said, "That's what I really want, Batman, better keep your end of the bargain."

Ranger pulled Stephanie up on the outdoor loveseat that was inside of the private gazebo, tugging off the wrap she had over her skimpy bikini bottoms. Ranger gripped one of her thighs firmly, and began to kiss his way up to the juncture that was hidden behind the skimpy blue cloth. Stephanie let out a breathy giggle, as Ranger's nose nuzzled her covered pussy, causing jolts of pleasure to go through her frame. She shivered with delight, as he grabbed the top of the bottoms and pulled them down, to reveal her bare mound, wet with juices, her inner lips opened from excitement. Ranger leaned forward, saying, "Dios, Babe, you're so wet,is I because you had my dick in your mouth, hmm?" his fingers running through Stephanie's slick folds.

Stephanie could only let out whimpers as the pleasure rendered her speechless. Ranger smiled and said, "No words, well, I guess I'll have to change that."

Stephanie arched her back, crying out in bliss as Ranger dove in and plundered her pussy with his mouth. she felt his teeth nip at the fleshy outer lips, tug gently at the more sensitive inner lips. His fingers gliding down and toying with the rim of her entrance, it had Stephanie seeing stars. When Ranger found her clit, with that sinfully skilled tongue, Stephanie shot up in the loveseat, and let out a soft cry, gripping Ranger's head as she was eaten out. her hips bucked up into that willing tongue, and those nimble fingers that snuck into her as Ranger made magic with his tongue. Her orgasm came quick and boy, was it a big one. Stephanie arched her back, and let out a wail of pleasure, as wave after wave of ecstasy crashed over her.

Stephanie slumped back in the loveseat, her breath ragged, and a flush on her face. Ranger leaned over her body and hooked her legs over his arms and entered Stephanie swiftly, earning a low groan from said woman beneath him. He kept a brutal but steady pace, his hips snapping up as he enered Stephanie. Stephanie could only groan and cry out, her hips thrusting up to meet the thrusts that Ranger gave her. Ranger leaned down and kissed Stephanie growling, "I'll never get enough of you Babe, Dios, you drive me wild, I'm going to make you my wife and never give you up!"

Stephanie wrapped her arms around Carlos's neck and said, "Don't ever give me up! Keep me forever."

They kissed each other as they came, the pleasure rolling through their bodies, leaving them weak afterwards. They in entwined on the loveseat, trying to catch their breath. Ranger sat up slightly, watching in the darkness as a figure went through the backyard of the beach house, going to the beach. What was his daughter doing?

"What's wrong, Ranger?" Stephanie asked Ranger, feeling him lean back down in the loveseat, "Did you see something."

"No, it was nothing," Ranger said with a smile, "I was just thinking about Heidi, she's full of surprises, you know."

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Heidi looked down at the kitten in her arms. She gave him a frown and said, "Geez, at least they stop making sounds, those were some of the weirdest sounds I've ever heard."

Mew made a sound and jumped out of Heidi's arms, leading her down the beach, the only light source was the thin sliver of moon in the sky. Heidi was supposed to be upstairs in the beach house, asleep, but she had to meet Odysseus on the beach! just the thought of those strange colored eyes had something inside of Heidi fluttering. Heidi had to bit her lip to prevent the giggles she had inside of her come out. She hadn't been this excited for anything in a while.

"Mew," Heidi looked up from her thoughts, seeing Odysseus sitting on a log in the middle of the beach. He had a bonfire going, and a blanket on the sand. His guitar leaned against the log, waiting for Odysseus to play it. Heidi felt a smile pull at her lips, and she ran the rest of the way oer to Odysseus, who patted the empty space on the log next to him.

"It's such a lovely night outside, I thought maybe you'd be hungry after your trek, I have some food, if you're hungry." Odysseus said, pointing to the basket on the blanket, "Nothing fancy, some fruit and pastries, and some juice."

Heidi smiled and said, "No I'm not tired, but some juice would be nice," sitting down on the log next to Odysseus, who got up and pulled out a drink for Heidi, "You're very thoughtful…."

"I hope your parents don't mind you out on the beach, at night, with a young fellow, who's going to play you some music on his guitar." Odysseus asked Heidi, who drunk her fruity drink.

"Oh, they were busy making weird noises from the gazebo, I'm sure they hardly heard me." Heidi said, making Odysseus laugh loudly, his hands holding his sides, "What?"

"Oh it's just, your parents, well, never mind, it's not my place to tell you, my innocent Heidi," Odysseus said, sitting beside Heidi, "Now, I'm sure you want to hear music, not things that will tarnish your innocence."

Heidi gave Odysseus a look as he grabbed his guitar, strumming a quick tune, "What do mean, my innocence?"

"Oh nothing, nothing my dear," Odysseus said, scooting closer to Heidi, who smiled, biting her lip, a flush on her face, "I hope you like sea shanties, they're my favorite, sadly."

Heidi didn't know this feeling, watching Odysseus play the guitar, singing tunes that sailors sang a long time ago, his voice husky, running over Heidi. She loved the way that his emotions played on his face as he sang, showing her that he loved playing the guitar and he loved singing as well. Once Odysseus finished playing his song, he turned to Heidi, and smiled, saying, "You have stars in your eyes, darling, it's like you've seen something good."

"I-you just look as though you love playing and singing, it looks so wonderful," Heidi said softly, earning a chuckle from Odysseus, "What is this weird feeling in my stomach?"

"I don't know," Odysseus said softly, a soft smile on his face, "But, to settle that feeling, I have some chocolate éclairs, I know you'll love them."

"I would really love to learn how to play that Guitar, you make wonderful music," Heidi said eating the pastry that was offered to her, "I'll sound like I'm killing a cat."

Heidi let out a startled gasp as Odysseus grabbed her by her waist and pull her against him. The funny feeling came back at full force, as did the light headness. Strong arms wrapped themselves around her and a husky voice said softly in Heidi's ears, "It's not that hard, darling, here."

Odysseus grabbed his guitar, placed Heidi's hands in the right position on the guitar and, with his hands over her small hands, led her through a simple song, all the while; Heidi's face was flush and her heart beating at 400 miles per minute. As they played together, Odysseus sang softly in her ear. Heidi smiled when they were done playing the song and said, "it's only because you helped me along, silly."

Odysseus smiled at her and said, "It'd doesn't matter, if you want me to, I'll help you play all the time."

Heidi gripped the hem of her skirt as Odysseus let go of her, the feeling of longing settling in, why was she feeling that? Heidi turned to Odysseus and asked, "So, do you live around here?"

"You could say that," Odysseus said with a smile, sliding down the log and sitting on the blanket, "But I'm in this area for the summer only, then I go back to do whatever needs to get done."

"Oh, well, so am I," Heidi said with a smile, sitting on the blanket beside Odysseus, "My parents are getting married, and they want it down here, it was supposed to be a week long thing, but it turned into a whole summer thing."

"Well congrats for your parents," Odysseus said grabbing a pastry and eating it, "I'm happy you all decided to stay for the summer, that means I get to see more of you, Heidi."

Heidi let out a breathy giggle, and said, "I'm glad too, Odysseus," settling close by the fire.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

They spent all night by the fire, talking and playing music, watching Mew chase little night crabs and eating whatever was in the basket. Odysseus was putting away all the wrappers from the food they had eaten when a tiny, "Mew," made him look up. Heidi was fast asleep, curled up on the blanket, her head tucked in her arms and a smile on her face. Odysseus looked at the tiny kitten and said, "How about we get sleeping beauty back into her bed, least her parents worry about where she is."

Mew made a sound, but stopped suddenly, hiss at something that was behind Odysseus. Odysseus turned and frowned, seeing a figure running towards them, not running, sprinting, they were sprinting fast too.

"Looks like trouble," Odysseus said standing up and kicking the log out the way, covering Heidi up with the blanket, "Trouble indeed."

Odysseus watched as the figure came closer, and suddenly stop, only mere feet away from where the group was situated. Odysseus tilted his head to the side and smirked, "So, what's a night walker doing out here? Nothing much over here but some sand and a few crabs."

The figure let out a deep chuckle and said, "Oh, so you're one of them, I'm surprised that you can breathe without your gills, you overgrown goldfish."

"I can do a whole lot more as well, what are you doing in my neck of the sands, nightwalker?" Odysseus asked the man.

"None of your concern, the girl is all I want, and I'll be taking her, even if you don't want her to be taken."

"You'll have to go through me," Odysseus said walking past Heidi's slumbering form, "And for the record, I'm no goldfish, I'm more of a shark."

"We shall see," The nightwalker said, flashing lethal fangs, before charging at Odysseus, who smiled and charged at the night walker as well.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Odysseus let out a tired sigh, placing Heidi in her bed, covering her with the soft, thin blankets that covered the canopy bed. he looked over to the tiny kitten, who sat on Heidi's sleeping form, watching Odysseus intently. Odysseus smiled and ran a finger over the tiny head, earning a purr, "What? You've never seen a merman walk on two legs before?"

"Mew," Mew replied curling up on Heidi, looking at Odysseus.

"Well," Odysseus said to Mew, walking over to the window, "Watch over her, okay? She's too important to be taken by crazed nightwalkers."

Mew sniffed the air and then went to sleep. Odysseus chuckled and said, "silly cat…"before leaving the large bedroom, Odysseus had a nightwalker's body to deal with."

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

"Of all the creatures for her to attract," The Queen of the nightwalkers muttered, looking outside her window, "She attracts an extremely powerful merman, to think, this would have been an easy thing, but it's not, and with the connections this merman has, he'll have an army behind him if I try something to Gaia."

"No matter," General Smith said with a chuckle walking up to the slender woman, "I have the world's largest and strongest army, if anything, that punk should be worried about us."

"So you say…..so you say….." The Queen said looking back out the window.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

"What were you two doing last night in the gazebo?" Heidi asked Stephanie and Ranger over breakfast the next morning, "You two were making loud noises and they were kind of freaky…"

Stephanie choked on her toast, Ranger had to hit her back hard, to dislodge the stuck food. They turned to Heidi, who was smiling as innocently as possible, looking at the couple. Ranger turned to Stephanie and said in hush voice, "She doesn't know about sex….I thought Scarlet would have told her!"

"Well, maybe Scarlet was waiting for us to tell her, we are her parents after all," Stephanie said sipping her coffee, "Besides, she's at that age, if we don't tell her, she'll learn from some lecher, and we wouldn't want that, right?"

Ranger's eyebrows twitched as he thought about it, no, he wouldn't want that. Ranger turned to Heidi, who sat across from them, her head tilted to the side, like a curious puppy, "Heidi, I think it's time we gave you the talk."

"The talk," Heidi said tilting her head to the other side, "The talk…okay! So talk!"

Ranger shook his head and said, "It's a conversation about serious topic, I hope you're not going to be busy for a bit, you'll have a lot of questions…."

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

"Are you nervous, little one?" A soft musical voice asked, amusement in their voice, "You shouldn't be, there are plenty of Guardians, you are not alone."

"Yes, you told me so, Gaia, but I am the only new Guardian, and the only human one!" A woman said beside the deity, as they walked down a dimly lit hallway in the Tree of Life, "You said it yourself, what if the other Guardians do not accept me?"

"They will," Gaia said, turning to the small woman beside her, a smile on her face, "You need not worry about them rejecting you, you are one of my children now, you'll never feel the pain of rejection again."

The woman smiled and grabbed Gaia's hand, earning a soft smile, "I am glad, Gaia, that you choose me, to be a new Guardian."

"I am glad too, now come, the others wait for me to present you." Gaia said leading the small woman to the main hall that resided in the Tree of Life."

"My dear, you seem lost in your thoughts, are you okay?" The woman looked up from her clasped hands, to look at the man staring outside the window, looking at the Tree of Life that loomed on the horizon.

"Yes, I am fine, I was just thinking about Gaia," The woman said softly, getting up and going over to the man, wrapping her arms around his waist, "Soon, she will be at the age where she and the tree can become one."

"And when they become one, they will need a master, and I shall become the new master and rid the world of these useless creatures, and turn it into the Utopia that it's meant to be!" The man said, turning to the woman and hugging her, "With you at my side as my Queen, as my equal."

"Yes, I cannot wait, my love," The woman said with a soft smile, staring down at the hand that once held Gaia's hand, the hand that had never once led her astray, "I cannot wait…."

TBC...

If you could take a few seconds and leave a humble girl a review, that would be great, please, thank you! :D
