AFTER THE LADIES-IN-waiting pinned my hair into place, I looked at my reflection.My Noxlin disguise suited me.How was that even possible?
The dress Darce and I had chosen didn’t leave much to the imagination.The fabric barely covered my skin, but hid all my delicate areas.It was a beautiful, black material that sparkled and flowed down my body, and had a small train at the back.It plunged low on my chest, showing my breasts off perfectly.
“I’m not sure how well hidden you will be looking likethat, Starshine,” Darce groaned once we were alone again.He was watching me in the mirror with hungry eyes.He came up behind me, placing his hands on my hips.
“You agreed on the dress.”
“My cock was clearly overruling my head.”
“I imagine you’ll have to remain extremely close to me the entire night.”
“That won’t be a problem.”His voice was hoarse as his lips caressed my neck while he pulled me flush against his chest.His hands easily pushed the fabric on my thighs away.When I felt his fingers slip inside my core, I moaned loudly, watching myself become aroused in the mirror.Darce was watching me with dark hooded eyes, his lips slightly parted.He set a fast, torturous pace, his arms the only things keeping up upright as I succumbed to the power of his fingers inside me.“Fuck, I could watch you come undoneallfucking day,” he snarled, watching my climax ripple through my body.I slumped against him as I tried to regulate my breathing.“We better leave in a few minutes.You won’t want to miss the beginning.”I had no idea what he was talking about, but it didn’t matter.With a wave of his hand, we were surrounded in darkness.
When my eyes could focus, I was able to make out a vast, green moss archway hidden in an ancient forest.
“What is this place?”There was a dim light coming from within the arch, and the most beautiful music was filling the air.It seemed it was being played by strings, but the sound was unlike any harp I had heard.
“This is the Firefly Arch.”Darce took my hand in his, leading me beneath the beautiful stonework.When I took in the sight in front of me, my breath caught.Thousands of fireflies danced around the ruins of what appeared to be an old church.The stone had been shattered long ago and was the colour of bright green moss and lichen.Hundreds of Noxlin were dancing and laughing to the music being played at the far end.Theywereplaying strings, but not the harp that we used in Dallethas.The depth of the strings, the story the instrument was telling, almost brought tears to my eyes.
“What music is this?”
“We have various musical instruments, but our favourite by far is the violin.”
“Theviolin?How does it compare to a harp?”
“The violin holds tension on the four strings so it can vibrate freely with the bow and make the sound you’re hearing.”
“It’sbeautiful.”I was so lost in the fireflies and the music that I hadn’t noticed all the eyes on Darce and me.
“Are you ready for your first dance lesson?”he smirked, putting an arm around my waist and gripping my hand with his.“Don’t worry, I’ll use my shadows to move you into place.Just follow my lead.”
I didn’t get a chance to ask any questions.He was already spinning us towards the rest of the dancing Noxlin.My feet felt as if they were floating on clouds as he elegantly moved us in time with the music.Fireflies dropped lower, surrounding us, but I couldn’t look away from Darce’s face.His adoring gaze was melting me from the inside.His expression made my breath hitch.
Love.I felt nothing but love for this male.I had only been here two days and already he’s stolen my heart completely.
This was a dream I never wanted to wake up from.If I had to take my last breath, I would think of this moment before going to Holy Ether.
From that point on, I washisand he wasmine.
