“Don’t make me hurt you, now get off my husband!” To which Draven complied. It was all in jest and people seemed to be getting a kick out of seeing what they must have referred to as the ‘Royal Family’ acting so relaxed.
“Ok, so now it’s our present!” I said turning to take it from Draven’s hands and having him wink at me in return. I had no idea what he had bought her from the both of us but after seeing all the other presents I was really hoping it wasn’t something lame like a grey chess set or a beige designer scarf.
I handed it over to her and she spent half a second saying,
“Aww” at the bag with the rainbow bow. Then she whipped it out of the bag then held it up in front of her and I gasped in shock. It was the Fraggle Rock T-shirt I had seen ages ago and mentioned to Draven when sat with everyone on the roof top. But the major difference was that he’d had it personalised with the words on the back,
‘Toots and Squeak
Friends Forever’
This was the side that was facing me now and the reason I had gasped. The thoughtfulness was overwhelming and to know that he had done this for not only her, one of my best friends, but for me too. It was perfect.
“OH WOW! This is so cool, have you seen this baby pop?” Pip asked Adam and he looked to Draven who nodded at the back.
“Turn it round, love.” Adam said and once she did there was utter silence…
This for Pip was unheard of. I couldn’t see her face as she had it held up high but when she finally lowered it I could see why she was so silent.
Pip was crying with happiness.
Chapter 72
Power Exchange
After the emotional outburst from Pip it was obvious to the men that we needed special girl alone time, to which Pip shouted,
“But don’t worry, I don’t mean like muff diving or anything!” To which Adam just shook his head and the rest were obviously not used to ‘Pipisms’ as I liked to call them so they turned away to try and look anywhere but at the two of us. I was just glad I didn’t catch anyone adjusting their pants.
Sophia, Pip and I all went off to have our ‘Girly’ moment which consisted of dancing to ‘Girls just want to have fun’ by Cyndi Lauper, doing disgusting shots and trying not to be the first one to pull a funny face…which I sucked at being the only mortal and of course the sacred ritual of going to the toilet together and borrowing each other’s make up whilst talking about men. It was actually very easy to forget my friends were two of the most powerful supernatural beings on the planet and that wasn’t just down to who their family connections were.
“So you and the Big Kong still haven’t popped the weasel out and given him shelter in a warm bed for the night?” Pip asked me re applying her black eyeliner around her lips and adding blue lipstick to the centre.
“Uh?” I said wondering if I had heard her right or whether it was just the blood shots that had got to me.
“She means sex.” Sophia said translating.
“No and I am not going to lie, I really don’t know how much longer I can last.” They both started laughing and no doubt it was at the desperation in my voice.
“I guess it’s not like you’ve had much opportunity since…”
“Since her crazy dead army springing to life ex-boyfriend who really wanted to get stab happy and destroy the earth kidnapped her?” Pip added looking at Sophia who grinned,
“Yeah him.”
“Wow, I thought my exes were massive crapolias but you took the biscuit with that one!” I had to agree with Pip on that one.
“So tonight’s the night eh?” She asked nudging me as we all faced the mirror.
“Yeah, in more ways than one!” Pip added and then Sophia shot her a ‘shut up now’ look.
“What do you mean?”
“Who me…nothing, I know nothing, I swear on bees.” Pip said and for some reason adding the peace sign to the mix.
“Bees?”
“Yeah, do have any idea what those little guys do for the planet? I read this article once that 1/3 of all vegetables and fruits produced are pollinated by the stingy little bastards and…and…did you know that some folk estimate it could be up to 80% of the world's food supply affected by honey bee pollination. Crazy shit I know but this is why we need National Honey Bee Day in our lives and you would have thought that after farming the mini vibros for at least 5000 years that we would have more respect when they sting us, I mean they die anyway but what a way to go...!”
“Vibros?” I asked turning to Sophia our resident Pip expert after our bee history lesson had fizzled out.
“Ok, so this is what I have got from that…Vibros are vibrators, vibrators buzz, therefore bees buzz…if that’s not right, then I have nothing.” We all laughed and Pip added something neither needed to know,
“I have a bumble bee outfit for Adam and he plays the bee keeper.” She added a wink she really didn’t need to and I shook my head to try and prevent another mental image invading my mind.
“Right lady bees, let’s go wiggle this shit!” Pip shouted walking in front of us doing an exaggerated strut and making her little bum sway. We made our way down a staircase I hadn’t been on and as I reached the bottom steps Draven appeared from nowhere and before I could react, he had put his shoulder to my belly and flipped me up like a fireman carries the damsel.
“Whoa! Draven what are you…”
“I am done waiting. My gift to you Mrs Ambrogetti has expired and I am taking her back, Happy Birthday.” Draven said before turning from her and I looked up to find her giggling in Adam’s arms.
“And she calls Adam a caveman.” I muttered only to receive a slap to the bottom.
“Oi!” I said holding my bum and trying to pull my skirt down. But instead he just pretended that he was going to drop me and I screamed in protest.
“Then I suggest you behave.” He said and you could tell he was in one of those playful moods that I was looking forward to ending more serious.
“I hope you’re taking me to the bouncy castle.” I said playing along and getting another jerk when he tried to fool me into believing he would drop me again.
“Oh I will take you in the bouncy castle but not until later, not until I have had my way with you elsewhere.” He said and as soon as he turned a corner and found it empty his hand went up my skirt.
“Ahh Draven…no, not …ohh…ohhh.” I said as soon as his finger found that sweet spot. My head dropped to his back as I could no longer hold it up.
“You were saying?” He asked when I groaned again.
“Don’t stop.”
“That’s what I thought you said.” I would have laughed if I’d had my wits about me but then he inserted a finger and I cried out. I had no clue where we were headed and for all I cared it could have been back to Hell and I wouldn’t have cared. As long as we were together and he continued to do what he was doing right now.
He hooked his finger round, angling it just right and then he inserted a second finger and I came undone. I jerked over his shoulder and rode the wave feeling myself falling under with not only the orgasm but also being suspended over his shoulder. I was light headed from both and it added to the intensity. He continued to play me until I was begging for him to stop, not being able to take much more.
I felt the delicious cool night air against the skin on my legs and it felt so good washing over my overheated body. He finally had mercy on me and pulled his hand from under my skirt. The he lifted me off his shoulder and let me travel the length of his body until my feet touched the ground.
I looked up into his dark eyes and whilst keeping my gaze he lifted his fingers to his lips and inhaled a deep breath.
“Oh no, please don’t…” I said getting embarrassed but he just gave me one of his trade mark bad boy grins that only managed to get me all worked up again.
“I missed your sweet scent, almost as much as I missed your sweeter taste.” He said then sucked his two fingers into his mouth and closed his eyes as he
tasted me. Then suddenly he opened his eyes, which were now a deep purple, then pulled his fingers from his mouth, yanked me forward and tipped my head back by pulling on my hair.
“It’s just not enough!” And then he crushed his lips to mine for a kiss that was all fire and no sweetness. There was nothing gentle and soft about it. No, it was raw, it was pure and it was overflowing with sexual tension that needed to burst…
And it was the effing hottest kiss I had ever had in my life!
I don’t know what happened but something snapped inside each of us and our need to be connected overtook our senses. We tore at each other’s clothes like wild animals fighting for dominance and I knew I would never win. Hell, I didn’t want to but that didn’t mean I didn’t want the fight…So I jumped.
He caught me and the force sent him back against a wall which pleased me. He had me held with his hands on my butt cheeks and he squeezed hard making me moan from the bite of pain that seemed to inject even more pleasure into my movements. I ground against him, feeling his erection right against my underwear and suddenly that thin barrier became like a brick wall!
I wanted it gone, I wanted his trousers gone as I didn’t want anything between us! So I reached down with my hand and yanked at whatever I could to try and free him. I didn’t know how I managed it as my mind was certainly not working at full capacity for such things but as soon as I could wrap my hand around his naked length he groaned.
“Oh yes! By the Gods almighty, yes!” He said letting his head fall back against the stone. He still held me and using my other hand I located the waistband of his trousers and pushed them down enough to free him fully. Then just as music started up from somewhere below us I moved my underwear to one side and at the same time he lifted me higher to then thrust into me.
We both cried out and my back bowed with the length of him connecting with my body. Then he lifted me up again and powered into me over and over again until I was screaming with untamed ecstasy. One of his hands reached up as he held me more securely with just one arm under me for the sole purpose of ripping my corset down and freeing my breasts. Then he took a nipple into his mouth and became ruthless with it. He bit, sucked and then bit harder making me cry out and pray for him never to stop.
His teeth were brutal. Then I felt him take it too far as he pierced my flesh and this was the catalyst for my second orgasm of the night. I felt myself rippling around his length and impossibly I felt him grow harder because of it. He sucked on my tortured breast and I fed him the blood he wanted to taste with nothing short of pride.
After he had sucked his fill of me, he left my abused nipple to latch his lips to my neck so his hand could go back to my behind. This was so he had more leverage to manipulate my body but as I felt the next wave coming I lost my mind. I tensed my legs and used my body to power back over him faster and harder than ever before. Usually Draven ended up doing most of the work, just because of the power his body forced upon me but this time it was different.
Usually with Draven the common quickie was unheard of and I wasn’t even sure if he knew of the meaning but tonight he proved me wrong, because tonight I was strong and powerful…
And it was beautiful.
Because for once I felt in command. Because for once I felt like I held all the power over him. For once I felt like he was powerless against me. And for once he couldn’t hold back from bursting with pleasure. So as a result we both came together uncontrollably and quickly in a lost passion even the Gods couldn’t have stopped.
It was sexy, it was hot and it was fucking dirty! And we both loved every single second of it!
We both fell to the floor in a tangle of limbs and clothes after our bodies gave up from the force of it. I had never known Draven to lose himself like that and I felt as if I had climbed a mountain, survived a jungle and tamed a bloody lion! And in a way I had done all of those things, because I had brought a King to his knees in the most beautiful way possible!
“Holy Gods” Draven muttered still panting as he still held me close.
“You can say that again.”
“Holy Gods.” He repeated making me smile. I lay with my head on Draven’s chest and again listening to every fast beat of his heart was like receiving a pat on the back by everyone at the finishing line after winning the race.
“Wow.” He said after a time and I laughed,
“You know I think that’s the most human you have ever sounded.” I said looking up at him grinning like a crazy person.
“Well after that performance I think you sucked all the power out of me and rendered me human. Although with the way you moved I think it was definitely more demon than angel that got through.” He joked and I pinched him in retaliation.
“Oi! Try and remember who saved your demon ass.” I said making him growl at me and flip me over so I was on my back on the hard floor.
“Oh I remember and don’t you worry, we will still be having words about that insane risk of your life you took but right now I am thinking about another way to make you pay for unmanning me and losing my pride in such a disgracefully insubordinate way” He said teasing me and I grinned up at him.
“Oh is that right?” I asked and he snapped his teeth at me once making me jump.
“Oh Keira love, nothing I am about to do to you is considered right, but fucking good…? Oh yes, it most certainly will be.”
I shuddered in his arms and now I was the one whose head was falling back against the stone.
Because Draven was most certainly a man of his word.
And he was right…
It was fucking good.
Chapter 73
I Give You My Wings
“Is that a giant inflatable twister game, only with paint?” I asked Draven and he laughed. We were both still at the same place Draven had brought me to but at least now I had the chance to look around. Once Draven had punished me in the most perfect way a girl could be tortured and that was with Draven’s talented mouth between my legs, I finally came up for air…and the first thing I did was giggle.
“I did have something more romantic planned.” He said shrugging his shoulders when I sat up and looked at the beautiful setting he had created. We were on top of the roof and at just the right point to overlook the beautiful central fountain of lovers Perseus and Andromeda. But that wasn’t the most beautiful part about it.
Draven had laid down thick white blankets and pillows scattered in a space framed by candles of all sizes and flowers covered the floor until the stone couldn’t be seen. A bottle of champagne was sitting in a chilled ice bucket made of clear glass and fresh fruit was piled high, peeled and cut ready for the eating.
“Are those chocolates?” I asked homing in to the good stuff. He laughed and said,
“Couldn’t have left them out.” Then he picked me up and carried my half naked self over to the most perfect setting for the rest of whatever the night held in store for us both. I looked down at my torn dress and said,
“I think it’s ruined, poor Pip.”
“She can bill me.” He said before grabbing the rest of it and ripping it clean down the middle.
“Draven!” I shouted but he just shut me up very easily…with a kiss. And this time it was very sweet. And it was very soft but it was still just as perfect. We both undressed each other until we lay under the stars naked and nothing had ever felt more right than lying with Draven this way. It felt pure and natural, almost as though we were being blessed by the Gods.
I don’t know where that thought came from so I turned to look at him and he grinned back at me as if he felt it too.
“Draven?” I said his name as a question I didn’t have the words to.
“You feel it don’t you?” Draven asked and I nodded not understanding exactly what I was feeling but it just felt that in this precise moment in time we needed to be like this because it was expected of us…
Because the time had come.
“What’s happening?” I asked but then he pushed hi
s body weight into me until I was under him and then he whispered,
“Just let it happen.”
He kissed me and for long moments we just let ourselves become lost in the moment. He ran his fingertips down my side and I felt the sparks ignite my blood. I reached up with both my hands and ran my fingers through his hair, holding it back so it wouldn’t fall forward.
“I want to see you.” I told him and he closed his eyes for a second taking my words into his heart and holding them there.
“Do you know how much I love you?” I asked him and he looked back at me with such heat, I felt it warm me from the inside out.
“Keira you went to Hell and back…trust me, I know how much you love me.” On hearing this I cried. I took my bottom lip in between my teeth and let my emotions fall down my cheeks. He leant down, placed his forehead to mine and whispered,
“It is an unbreakable strength in your love for me Keira and until this day I never knew it had strength enough to match my own.”
“Oh Dominic!” I said and sobbed into his neck as he held me naked in his arms and then just as I said the three words out loud he thrust into me. So these words were at this very moment immortalised in a memory we would never forget. Because these words were said after all we had been through and survived.
And they were the only ones that mattered and the only ones that held enough strength to beat back fallen Gods, to defeat armies against us. To discover those who betrayed us but most importantly, words backed up by selfless acts of love and sacrifice that were strong enough to bring the other back to life.
“I love you Keira, by the Gods I love you!” Draven said as held me close and brought me even closer to that blissful place, cementing me there with his arms around me and himself buried deep at my core.
We came undone and passed out together.
When I finally came to I was surprised to find I was the first to wake. I don’t know how long we had been asleep but at some point Draven must have woken long enough to cover us. I was thankful for it as there was a definite chill in the air. I could still hear music in the distance as the party continued but from the look of the sky it wouldn’t be that long until sunrise.
