Chapter 11

Fiery Nights

A/N AHHHH review overload! Thank you all so much who reviewed, it's thanks to you guys that I have the motivation and the support to continue writing, and I've eve nthrough of some new fanfics. (but I won't get into that now So thank you all again, you've been awesome! )So welcome to Chapter 11! Warning, this chapter contains some adult themes (I have changed the rating of this story) so just take that into consideration. Like chapter 9, I tried to make this as "easy on the eyes" as I could while still getting the point across. I wanted it to be cute and innocent, but also very passionate and lustful- if you would. The chapter title comes from my absolute FAVORITE song from Lord of the Dance; Fiery Nights. I really can't get enough of this song…it's unhealthy. Oh and if you didn't notice I finally got a cover image for this story, so now it looks more official! It is a picture of the key that Spot has (to review go back to chapter two). So please enjoy the chapter! There is another memory of 8 year old Liam and Aoife, so that will be in italics. Enjoy!

The kiss was gentle, soft even. And it proved the two young people that produced it felt the same about each other. Innocent memories of their special spot at the mysterious lake filled their minds, and their memories blurred with visions of the past.

They had been going to the lake for months now, every Monday evening after their dinner and chores they would meet at the mouth of the forest and would visit their special spot under the weeping willow tree. But something special would happen on that particular summer Monday night.

"Aoife, you know you're my best friend right?"

"Yes Liam and you're mine."

"Well- I-uh- I wanted to give you this." Liam said as he pulled a mysterious object out of the pocket of his brown trousers and held it out to Aoife.

"What is this?" she asked as she took a small chain from his palm. Attached to the chain was a small silver lock engraved with Celtic designs. When she looked up at him waiting for an answer, she noticed he was holding a small silver key with similar Celtic designs on it swinging on a chain.

"Díghlasáil mo chroí "unlock my heart.

"Tá mé cheana féin " you already have.

And just like that Aoife leaned in and pecked Liam on the lips. She pulled back chin down as she blushed as the happy fireflies danced around them.

The present kiss started out slow, but in mere moments, grew in passion. Aoife slowly traced her and on Liam's arm until she reached his neck where she positioned her palm on the underside of his jaw lifting his head up more towards hers, allowing easier access. Her other arm reached to the back of his head her fingers entwining with his hair. He gently put his hands on her hips, slowly moving them up and down her sides causing Goosebumps to appear on her skin. He slowly slid his hand down to her thigh and lifted it up and positioned it around his own waist. From there he slid his hands back up her sides and stopped at her own jaw, placing both his hands on it. He gently steadied her head in place as he pulled away, slightly panting at the physical contact.

"An bhfuil tú cinnte gur mian leat é seo?" are you sure you want this?

"Tá mé i gcónaí." I always have.

Liam slowly pulled her head closer to his, and once again their lips made contact in a passionate embrace, his hands caressing her cheek as they brushed back some stray pieces of hair behind her ear. Aoife allowed her head to fall back as Liam trailed kisses from her jaw to her throat and chin down her neck and collar bone occasionally nipping at her soft skin, causing soft moans to escape from her. She maneuvered her hands from his head to his shoulders and down his sides stopping at the hem of his shirt which she slowly started to lift up. Noticing what she was trying to do, Liam broke contact from their kiss to do the same, allowing her nightshirt to be removed leaving her only in her chemise. Holding her, Liam slowly bent her backwards until she was lying on the bed him straddled on top of her.

"Tá mé réidh "I'm ready.

Liam, slowly bent down and once again pressed his lips to hers, while doing so he begun to undo his pants. In a brief moment of hesitation, the two childhood friends created a bond that would seal their fate, as the two became one.

A/N So…yeah, not really as long as my other chapters, but it was short and sweet and to the point. You guys even got another flashback! So I do admit, this was kind of a filler chapter, but I feel it was needed. So let me know what you think and please review/follow/favorite. It would mean a lot. The next chapter should be up soon!
