But not in the breathtaking way of soulmates because, of course, that would have been too much of a fucking ask from this world. No. It was the exact opposite of that, a monstrous thingthat if even allowed a whisper of my attention, I feared would be unleashed to destroy everything I had…and that breathtaking dream I wished for.
Sighing, I shook my head to rid myself of the dark self-loathing path I was treading on and trailed one hand from the back of my head down the front of my naked body. Grabbing my cock, I slowly pumped it. Hardening instantly, blue balled since Remnant Dark stormed in, my cock was eager for release.
Perhaps this was the cause of my perseverating thoughts…perhaps a release from this pent up tension was exactly what I needed to solve the distinct feeling that Xi and I were fucked five ways to Sheol and back, with my own soul marked for the death god himself.
I groaned as my hand quickened, my shaft growing even harder under my firm grasp. Closing my eyes, I conjured up the last time I sunk my cock into Xi's warm depths. It was on the night of the solstice when we were high on the euphoria of accomplishing our task and also terrified of the consequences if we got caught. The adrenaline sparking a feral passion that only we knew how to satisfy within one another.
My hand hastened and my thighs clenched, hips meeting my fierce downward stroke, my elemental power whispered around me, mimicking the hot breath that was the memory of Xi's gasps.
Another groan, I was close—.
"Ri, you asleep?" I stilled at the sound of Xi’s voice beyond the door, rapping on it urgently.
Eyes snapping open I inhaled deeply, releasing my throbbing cock with a stifled groan, I rose from the bed, shucking on my leathers I had casually discarded on the floor. Stumbling when another loud rapping made me fumble with the damned ties. "Fuck it already," I muttered when the door banged again, the laces would just have to stay…undone. "Yea I'm up, hang on," I called out huskily.
Walking on bare feet across the marble surface, my pants swinging dangerously low off my hips, I threw open the door to see the object of my sexual fantasies leaning against the doorframe, a smug smile on her face and two shot glasses with a bottle of Hydra Piss in hand.
Her tongue snaked out, licking her lips as she caught the full sight of me. Her gaze a whisper of sweet desire as it fell downward over my naked chest, and lower still, where my pants hung open, and my dick stood proudly flushed against my toned stomach. Her eyes lingered there for a moment before sweeping outward, following the wings of the tattooed phoenix branded across my pelvis, its feathered tips wrapping all the way to the back of my ass. Artwork that she loved to trace with her tongue. Even now, it swept across her parched lips staring hungrily at the mark of my rebellious homage to the great bird that commanded the vast air currents of Faerie's skies—skies I now controlled after crawling out from my own rebirth.
Following my ink back inward, Xi's gaze fell on the vicious bowed head of the phoenix covering my groin, submitting to my now bulging erection. I couldn't help but smirk, satisfied at the way her breathing became more shallow, her uncovered eye dilating with passion.
Either the poor schmuck she had taken to her bed came in his pants right when she touched him or her night didn't go exactly how she expected because her clothing was tidy, her hair still smooth when it should be a disheveled mess, her face revealed to expose the magnificent beauty of a female well fucked.
"What can I do for you my terrella?"Little earth.I had been calling her that since we first met in the dark tunnels of the underground I had been lost in.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" she purred and I could smell the slight tinge of alcohol on her breath. Holding up the shotglasses and spirits, smiling at the way I was caught staring at her, she quirked her brow. “Well?”
Plucking the Hydra Piss from her hand, I stepped aside, popping the cork. “How could I ever deny you, when you bear such poisonous gifts?”
She snickered and padded inside, looking around my room suspiciously. "You weren't entertaining were you?"
Quietly shutting the door with my wind and throwing the lock, I took a large swig of the potent alcohol straight from the bottle. If I wasn’t going to get off, then letting the alcohol numb my body like before seemed to be the next best thing.
"I wasn't in the mood," I said, sending my breeze across the room to unveil the beautiful face that still stole my fucking air everytime I looked upon it. Walking around her, I took another long drink, enjoying the foul burn, "What of you, did your bed partner disappoint?"
"I sent him down to the sweet little fae who was batting her lashes at him all night."
She reached for the bottle but I tsked, holding one finger up and cocking it side to side. She scowled back, and I watched amused and enthralled by the way her perfect features wrinkled adorably on her face. My cock growing harder at the sight. "You've had plenty and I haven't had nearly enough."
Laughing at her darkening look, I grabbed her hand and brought her to the center of the room. Grabbing two pillows from the nearby chairs I threw them on the floor. Xi didn't like chairs, she preferred to be close to the earth as often as possible. In this case, the marble would have to do but that did not mean I wanted to sit rigidly on the cold ass floor.
Guiding her to the pillows, I twirled her before allowing my air to softly wrap around her perfect curves, slowly lowering her down to the cushion like a proper high lady of the elemental court.
Joining her, I felt her grey eyes drop to my open pants again, and I preened with male pride inside. Even if she had chose another lover tonight, she was still here, eye fucking me like she should have been hours before this. Leaning forward, I set the bottle down between us and plucked the shot glasses from her hands, placing one on either side of the bottle.
"For old times sake, back when we served. Shot for shot. Question for question." I arched a brow at her. "Let us think this through." Lifting the bottle with my air, I filled our glasses and then gave her a knowing look. "Ask."
"Do you think she knows what we stole?" Xi asked in a squeaky rush and it was the cutest sound I had ever heard.
Grabbing my glass I threw it back, letting it add to the buzz that was already a pleasant burn through my system. Licking my lips, her eyes dilated more, I spoke slowly, "I think that when it comes to General Remnant Dark it is safe to assume she knows all." Leaning back on my hands, I stared into her passion-blown eyes. "The real question is, do you want to join her on the search for the seal?"
Reaching for the shot glass she took the spirits in one swallow and goddess damn it, it was fucking sexy as Sheol. I wanted nothing more than to feel her hot mouth swallowing down my brutal erection still throbbing, barely restrained by my loose pants. "Do we have a fucking choice?" she finally replied.
Guiding the air to pour us another round, I sighed, drinking my shot before tilting my head back to frown at the enchanted ceiling. "There is always a choice Xi. Either we run forever to escape certain death and risk the lives of our people or we play her game with an unknown end…and herprotection?"
Scowling, she glared at me. “How could she protect us Ri? She is our enemy! Pledged to her queen, her lover for goddess sakes!”
The fake stars shimmered. “Perhaps that is what we are made to think…perhaps she is playing a game that we are not aware of, where thequeenis her enemy.”
