Shelf #032

That rainy night, Kuu lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling. So many things had happened quite so fast these past seven months. Julie appeared unexpectedly in his life and had turned his world the other way around. She changed his life completely. Tonight, he reminisced all the best days that both of them had shared. . .

It was such an amazing moment for him to see her the first time she appeared at his bookshop. . Thrice, they met each other in just one day, plus Julie gave him a deep kiss. . Then his little Honey's birthday surprise. . The funny things that his best friends had experienced with little knowledge about the truth in Julie's life. . The incredible fight for the little brownie . . Their romantic walk in the woods at dawn. . Kuu smiled to the thought that they walked together alone in the road and fooling around like little naughty children. . . The sunday morning dates they spent at the river. . The unforgettable date that made him feel like Cinderella's brother, being helped by the magic of the fairy gods to make him look like a stunning superstar with the most gorgeous goddess in red. . . And the memorable stay in his house to avoid paparazzi, until they grabbed that 'yearn' throughout the night. . .

So many memories in just seven months. It was during those months, that tonight Kuu had remembered a valuable piece of memory. One that changed another course of his life since meeting Julie. . . .

It was during the first Sunday of her two weeks off staying at his house. That time, Kuu and Julie had trecked by the river, near the waterfall, just looking around, admiring the subtle beauty of nature at night –– because evening was the only time that no one can ever see Julie.

They had realized there was actually an abandoned cave behind the waterfall. They walked through it and found such an amazing place that no one had ever discovered. . .

Deep inside the belly of the rocky cave, was a small lake. The cool water was so crystal blue it glittered like clear glass on the ceiling of rock. They could see depths through the bottom that wasn't so deep and the floor beneath it was just pure sand. An idea lighted up their minds and they decided to take a night swim.

It was Julie who started undressing her clothes off. She smiled at Kuu, then dropped her tussled shawl. She swung off his blue denim jacket and pulled up her fitted black top. She slipped down her denim skirt, then with slender fingers unclapsed her bra and pushed down her lace thong. Kuu watched her for a moment, struck by the vivid, tempting, natural beauty of her perfect body–– a contrasting ebony to the shining light blue of the water.

Julie looked behind her, eyeing at him and, walking over to the shallow end of the pool, moved partway down the rocks and into the water, holding out her hand in invitation. Kuu caught his breath. She was like a goddess standing there in her nude young beauty, and he could feel his desire rising. . Julie's deep sea green eyes twinkled and, throwing him a saucy look, she dove into the pool, giving him a delicious view of her sleek, sweet flanks.

Kuu growled softly to his own monster firing madly at his heart. He undressed himself and dove after Julie. He was amazed to find what a strong swimmer she was. She laughed mischievously at him and in a sleek bold move, dove beneath the water to appear in midpool.

His own laughter sounded now. "Damnit. Where in the seven djins did you learn to swim like that, you vixen?"

Her green eyes widened innocently, and she shrugged. "Since I was a kid, I always swim by the river with Valentine-san. . Sometimes with Alexander and Rayford."

"Who's Valentine?" he asked. Then she saw his brows furrowed slightly.

"And Alexander and Rayford are your ex?"

Julie smirked. "Hmm. . You're jealous?"

Kuu swam over to her and, gently, with a restrained passion that she instantly sensed, he took her face between his thumb and forefinger. His other hand slipped under the water and grabbed her waist. His sky eyes regarded her warmly. "Hmm. . I'm not. Just confused why there are two men."

Slim white arms slid up around him. Her pretty round breasts pressed against the tight ripples of his muscled chest as she offered him her lips.

"Valentine's our housekeeper. ." she said tenderly. "Alexander was our butler and Rayford was the son of our chef. He's a cute kid aged seven and I can't win over him on the water. They're really good swimmers. They taught me how to swim. Rayford was just the master of deep dives and he taught me the tricks."

Kuu swept her up in his arms. "They got a great student."

Julie was surprised by his sudden, swift movement that she was at a loss for words. Her inner voice battled whether she must wriggle from his grip or not. Yet this was a wonderful tease, as payback for the cherry, maybe?

"Do you think somebody may come and see us, Kuu?" Julie asked softly.

"To be honest," he answered in her lips, laying her gently behind a huge rock, on the warm, wet ground that surrounded the pool. He straddled her. "At the most delightful time, no. I don't think so."

Julie teased him and smiled. "Yes, someone will see us, Kuu," she protested. He chuckled softly.

"And dare disturb us on this cave behind the waterfall?" he whispered at her ear. His staff was hard and seeking against her thighs. She shivered deliciously as his tongue explored her ear, and shivered again as he moved downward along the scented length of her neck, biting gently at her silken shoulder. Julie soon forgot the bright lights of the water. Kuu's hands were on her hips, stroking and stroking the fires of her passions. He suckled hungrily at her breasts, driving her to let out a sweet cry of pleasure.

"Aaahh. . . Kuu! Please. . . Please!" she begged him. Her body arched against him, writhing for more.

The sweet, demanding assaults of his lips and tongue aroused her greatly. His hands never stopped from loving her body, and when his great rod entered into her she felt filled to overflowing with him. She wrapped her legs about him tightly and stretched to welcome more hard thrusts of his manroot. His body movement was so strong and rhythmic, each stroke bringing her nearer and nearer to sweet oblivion. She climbed higher and higher. Then she was caught in a jeweled whirlpool of ecstasy, and she heard a soft woman's cry mingled with a great masculine moan.

But the fire in their bodies continued to blaze wildly, and to his touch she turned on her side, a lovely arch of her hip against him. He thrusted his hard shaft into her, sending her to another sea of pleasure. She let out a cry, begging him for more. She turned her head to face him and they devoured hungrily. His hand caught her face and fenced her silken tongue deeper, covering her pretty cries. The blood sang, roared, and pounded in her ears and she matched him, fencing just as skillfully, kiss for kiss until they were both breathless.

Her body moved deliciously against him, pushing her hips further in every thrusts. She tore her face away and panted, his mouth eagerly explored her ear, teasing and biting it. Julie never thought she could soar high like this, taking all of him more and more. His sword was so great inside her. He moved deeper and deeper, crashing further into her walls. Her arm flung to caress his head drinking the soft pillar of her neck, his other hand stroking the blazing fire in her skin. From the wonderful curve of her hips, to her belly. Then it caught her golden orb and fondled it, moving in the same hard rhythm of his thrusts.

Her beautiful eyes mirrored what he felt. He plunged deeper and deeper into her, and the pleasure that leaped into that green gaze added to his own joy. When she finally begged him for the last strip of deepest, sweet release, and her golden feathery lashes lay quivering against her pale cheeks, he felt her spasms break one after another like breakers crashing wildly on the beach. Assured of her happiness, Kuu found such a heaven with her, reveling in the lovely body that moved so skillfully and deliciously on her side beneath his, reveling in the slender fingers that ran through the back of his hair, the other hand that dug in his arm that played wondrously on her breasts, in her sweet cry of surrender as his aching manhood burst and flooded her with his burning tribute. Julie was his, and his alone.

Her next conscious thought was that the glassy light was bright behind her eyelids, and she heard water lapping against the rocks along the sides of the lake. She opened her eyes, exhausted yet deeply enjoyed such a thrill ride with Kuu, who was also breathing heavily, his arms wrapped in a tight embrace around her.

Later, Kuu made fire and lingered in each other's arms on the rocks. It was the break of dawn. Kuu worn back his clothes, with the shirt left unbuttoned, while Julie was wrapped in her shawl enough to cover half of her naked body. She leaned her back against the warmth of his chest, and leaned her head on his skin. They had talked about many things in each other's arms, until. . .

"I don't know what it must feel like if fate will lead us to marry," Kuu said, his arm wrapped on her shoulder.

Julie blinked and looked up at him. ". . .Do you believe that fate, Kuu?" she asked softly.

Kuu looked into her eyes then smiled back at her. He held her chin with his thumb and forefinger and planted soft kisses on her lips. His eyes travelled back to the flickering fire across them.

"I do. . ." he replied. His hand continued to caress the soft skin on her arm. "But as soon as I can find a ring, I definitely will––"

"––No. . You don't need to give me anything, Kuu," Julie interrupted.

Kuu could hardly believe what he had heard. He looked back at Julie and saw a happy twinkle in the depths of her eyes. She smiled warmly at him. She shook her head lightly.

"I don't need you to buy me an expensive ring," Julie said. "I don't need you to give me a ring. I don't. ."

Kuu was puzzled. He watched her settled slightly as she leaned forward. She picked up part of the shawl and with her slender fingers, took one gold strand from the tussel and twirled it on her finger. She plucked it out, and tied the gold thread around her ring finger.

Smiling lovingly, Julie turned to Kuu and showed her hand to him.

"This will be my ring. . ." she said softly. "It meant that I'm already taken by you– the one I will be with for the rest of my life. . ."

Kuu saw a blaze of love flickering in Julie's eyes, which mirrored the same flame on the fire.

"I promise. No matter what happens, you'll never see this off my finger. . Ever. . ."

Kuu felt greatly touched by such genuine, honest words. This was Julie, the famous actress making a vow of everlasting love to him. . She loved him this much. It was more than offering her entire self to him. Kuu never felt so happy in his life, it was too much to bear yet it greatly burst, flowing ever endlessly.

Kuu smiled warmly. Without any word, he gathered her face in his hand and kissed her passionately. On and on they kissed, and Julie wrapped her arms around him as he held her closer. He placed her gently on the ground, and swooped down to devour her lips. As he travelled down to her pillar, Julie sighed deeply.

"I love you this much, Kuu. ." Julie whispered. "I'm all yours!"

Kuu went back up and locked her lips with his.

"I know. . And I love you more. ." Kuu whispered softly in her lips.

They locked themselves within the circle of their arms and lips, feeling so happy with the new vow they made with each other. And with the fire blazing in front of them, Kuu and Julie buried themselves in another heat of deep passion as they made love again, tenderly throughout the night.

Kuu turned over on his side and hugged a pillow close to him. The throbbing knot in his heart continued, as his blank eyes stared painfully at the drops of rain streaming down the glass window.

The fact that Julie had acknowledged him as a no one to that co-star Lee James, plus all the more that the person he had fallen in love with lived in a world so different from his, was enough for him to understood that maybe the vow was not as genuinely made as it had been from the heart at all. Kuu was ready to accept this other point, and he hated himself for it. He loved her so much while also having to feel all this pain at the same time. Because to him, things would be way different, if only Julie had made others see him as hers. He agreed Lory's thought. . A mortal falling in love with a god was truly difficult after all, and too painful.

Tonight, Kuu had told himself as he closed his eyes.

' That's it. . . I want this pain no more. . .'
