Black Knight

  "Can you promise me that?"

  "I promise," she said and smiled sweetly back. We kissed again.

  Our next trip was to a pleasant Greek island. It was a small town of whitewashed houses that huddled up over the cliffs like sugar cubes.

  After I told her I just wanted to walk around some foreign villages and gaze at authentic people and sit in a local café somewhere overlooking the ocean, she brought me to the island where it had the bluest of the sky and the widest of the sea. Our rented villa stood on the rugged landscapes, overlooking the white shore.

  I still marveled at the rush of excitement when my eyes opened to the breathtaking view. The ocean gleamed from our secluded balcony. Its aqua-blue water rippled like jelly in a giant bowl. I could hear a faint ship bell from a distance. The dreamy scenery looked like it came straight out of a postcard. And I couldn't wait to get out there and see things.

  Since Allecra was familiar with the area and even spoke fluent Greek, she took me for a stroll around the village. We went through winding isles of houses and antique shops before we decided to take a break at a local café.

  Sitting by the beach, we sipped our tea and watched pedestrians passing by tumultuously.

  "I had never dreamed of going anywhere like this," I said to Allecra. "I thought I was going to be wrapped up in the layers of my ordinary existence forever, never allowed to venture outside into the world for the rest of my insipid life."

  She gave me a marvelous smile.

  "I can take you everywhere, Nina, just like that robot cat you told me."

  It made me giggle.

  "Anyway, did you bring it with you?" I asked in a low voice even I knew there was no chance of people would understand what I referred to.

  "Yep, in my bag," Allecra reassured me. "But you don't have to rush, Nina, unless you want us to—you know—very soon."

  "That's not it!" I said. "I'm just being cautious. I'm on the first day of my menstrual cycle. The protection will start right away if I take it now."

  "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding," she said and fished a package out of her bag. I took it and opened it up discreetly and popped a pill into my mouth. I washed it down with a glass of water. Allecra was watching me with contemplating eyes.

  "What?" I asked her.

  "Nothing." She shrugged. Her eyes emanated something else, but I couldn't grasp what was behind them. Before I could say anything, she called the waiter and paid the bill.

  "What are we going to do next?" I asked.

  "Let's go on another stroll before we get back."

  She took my hand, and together we walked out of the place. Strolling through the cobbled road, we heard a faint music. It seemed to be coming from the village's church at the top of the hill followed by the bell chiming. As we got closer, the melodies became louder. It was a wedding song. When we went past the church, I spotted the bride and groom surrounding by relatives and friends. They dressed in formal suits and beautiful gowns ready for a photograph.

  I was suddenly gripped by a longing I had never known before. Marriages had never been in the uppermost of my mind. I always thought of wedding like a cage to a wing-clipped bird. My heart would sink at the thought of a faceless person on the altar with me. I just couldn't picture anyone I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

  Not until now.

  Holding Allecra's tender hand in mine, I felt like I was one of those girls who fantasized about wedding dresses and saying 'I do'. And that made me feel stupid. I was embarrassed for wanting something symbolic like that. Allecra wouldn’t conform herself to this silly norm, would she?

  As we continued to walk, Allecra noticed my absent stupor— probably through our touch alone. She stopped and turned around to look at me.

  "Are you alright, Nina?"

  Her voice brought me back from my reverie.

  "Yeah—yeah, I'm alright," I said. "I'm just a little tired."

  "Maybe we should go back to the villa and rest," she suggested.

  I just nodded back.

  Once we arrived, Allecra led me to our room. The ocean breeze flickered through the silk curtains of our balcony.

  "How about we take a bath together, Nina?" Allecra said with a mischievous look.

  "How about no?"

  "Aw, I miss taking a bath with you!" she whined at me like a little girl. "Come on, I'll scrub your back."

  "Well only if you don't do anything silly again," I said.

  "You're on the pill now. What's to worry about?"

  "Pills are not always effective."

  Allecra just rolled her eyes and then she forcibly carried me off to the bathroom. Despite my protesting screams, I wasn't really trying to stop her.

  The bath lasted only half an hour because neither of us could wait anymore. The familiar look of craving had returned to those brilliant turquoise eyes. I shivered from their glowing intensity, coupling with my own aching need. We miraculously found our way back to the bedroom, blindly wrapped in each other's passion.

  "Shouldn't we need a back-up in case the pill hasn't kicked in yet?" I whispered breathlessly as her hot mouth ravaging my throat.

  "But Nina..." Allecra's strained voice was desperate. She looked up at me with pleading eyes. I knew she dared not refuse if it was what I wanted. Yet the look on her face could reduce even a tiger to tears. Her gaze pierced through me with yearning heat.

  It felt like a lifetime ago since we had been intimate. We restricted ourselves from each other for the sake of keeping ourselves sane. But now, holding this desire back was almost physically impossible for us both.

  "Never mind then," I said and gave in to the fierce kisses that scorched my skin with love and lust.

  My back landed on the soft bed with Allecra between my legs. The bathrobes soon got tossed aside as our naked bodies burned for each other. Our skins rubbed, making my blood sing through my veins. I traced the tattoos on her arms and shoulders.

  Allecra's hands skimmed over my sides and down to my hips and thighs. I could feel my pulse quickened and my breaths shallowed. The tension in my belly reached a melting point where I would beg Allecra to do something if it came to that.

  "You're ready?" Allecra whispered, all the while she never removed her lips from my trembling body.

  I tried to speak but could only manage a weak 'yes' since there was a lump of excitement stuck in my throat. Allecra broke her kiss and rose to her knees. Our eyes met in an intense gaze.

  She reached her hand down between her thighs and sort of groaned a little. This was probably the most spectacular part of our love-making. I watched her touched herself until that lean delicate erection grew instantly to its full length. My heart faltered for a flitting moment before it started to race again. I still found it astonishing how her anatomy was so different. It never failed to amaze me. Allecra wrapped her fingers around herself and absentmindedly moved it. My jaw slacked at the sight.

  "Allecra, wait..." I blurted.

  She stopped and looked perplexedly at me.

  "Yes?"

  I got up onto my knees so that we were face to face with each other.

  "I'm not sure how to describe it," I said, feeling my face blush coyly. "It's like a curious wanting feeling. Please, don't touch yourself. Let me do it."

  Allecra's perfect brows arched in question. I felt extra stupid, but then she smiled.

  "Okay."

  I moved closer to her. We sat back with our legs wrapped around the other's waist. My hand went straight to her secret and cradled it gently. Allecra whimpered through her clenched teeth as our stares entwined. Her blonde brows furrowed at the first sensation of my touch. We leaned in and kissed again with probing tongues. I moved my hand.

  "Oh geez, Nina—" She gasped. She was growing harder. "If you keep it like that, I—I'm going to..."

  But she couldn't finish. I enjoyed seeing her trying to fight it. Allecra briefly licked her fingers and brought them to the area of my femininity.

 
"Allecra...what are you doing?!"

  "It's only fair," she said and inserted two digits slowly inside me.

  "Stop it," I gasped.

  "Stop?" She made small movements with her fingers. Electricity shot through me. It felt so incredible.

  "Oh my." I changed my mind.

  "What did you say?"

  "Stop—talking."

  "You're quite strange for a human. Some girls like to talk during sex, oh, and they scream, too."

  "Haven't you had enough of screaming girls already?" I said, trying to mock her but failed miserably. As I was lost in the gripping pleasure, my hand around her hardness loosened, and I fell back onto the bed.

  "Gotcha!" she said.

  "You're so immature!" I told her between heavy breaths.

  "But you love me," Allecra giggled. She withdrew her hand and crawled on top of me. "You've always been quiet, but I'll make sure you'll be quite vocal this time."

  The glint in her turquoise eyes made me shiver. All those times we made love had exceeded the level of pleasure I hadn’t expected. Now to go even beyond that was unimaginable. Before I had any more time to think, Allecra teased my breasts with her tongue and teeth until my body writhed.

  And without further foreplay, her hands splayed my legs apart. I felt the cold scented wetness accumulated there. Allecra finally eased her slippery hard tip into my softness. My nerves went buzzing like a colony of bees. She tried to make it slow and gentle, seeing it as my first time going natural. That handsome chiseled jawline tightened with internal restraints. But I was already soaking profusely and invitingly. Allecra ended up sliding herself into me in one swift move. Both of us let out a guttural groan. My back arched off the bed, and my inside quivered with sensual sparks bursting within my body. Allecra was hard like a rock and even slightly bigger than usual.

  "Oh my goodness...Allecra," I whimpered, feeling every inch of her everywhere.

  "Sorry, you're just so very soft," she moaned and inhaled sharply. "Be still, Nina please and let me savor you."

  My mind got sucked into a euphoric world as I roamed her smooth tattooed back with my hands to distract myself. I thought I might come just by having her in me. I guessed Allecra was the same. She rested her head on my breasts and nibbling away at my nipples.

  "It's getting easier now, isn't it?" she whispered.

  "I guess."

  "It feels better, too, no?"

  "Allecra, just shut up," I groaned.

  "Only if you say please."

  "Please shut up."

  She laughed, and her laughter vibrated blissfully my waiting depth. I let out a long sigh, tilting my head back from this stolen pleasure.

  "I'm moving now, is that okay?" Allecra asked. It felt like our first time all over again. Somehow it was kind of sweet and special.

  I nodded back, granting her permission to bring me to whichever state she desired. Allecra stirred her hips, which caused my breath to halt in my throat.

  Then she started flexing cautiously. Her lips sought mine again with more craving. I felt my heart resumed its wild rhythm when she made little jolts of feral pleasure in my core.

  My slippery arousal coated us both, giving the motion more freedom and ease. Allecra held me against her body like she was trying to merge us together. She began to moan louder. Her blushing angelic visage contorted with bliss. My fingers glided into her hair while my body felt like it was being engulfed by an internal flame.

  Allecra was going deeply and more feverishly now, and not before long that I started screaming into her shoulder. My toes curled from the ragging ecstasy as I took every powerful thrust. Each one made me shudder.

  The tide within my trembling form was rising and falling. I was caught between the current, unable to anchor myself in the world any longer. My eyes fluttered open and close at the rising wave of electrifying pleasures.

  Spontaneously, Allecra cried out and her body shuddered. Her lips pulled back over her teeth with her eyes squeezed shut. The outlines of tattoos brightened in a turquoise glow. I almost started to worry for her, but then I felt a sudden spurt of thick warmth rushing through my walls. I gasped, realizing that Allecra was coming. She released herself inside me. The feeling of her potent seeds powerfully filling my womb was indescribable. I could feel her coming again and again, causing my mind to spin and my heart to stop. I lost every care in the world. It was more than anything I ever had with her. The pure rawness of her pleasure was enough to push me over the brink of oblivion.

  My core tightened around Allecra as I found my own release, coming undone beneath her. Her powerful spurts still kept going in me. My walls constricted, gathering all her juice. I clutched her body to my chest and moaned helplessly in her arms. The climax was far more intense than I was prepared for. My mind swirled out of the present reality and time.

  After it was all over, there was this peaceful contentment I felt in Allera's embrace. We panted and stayed in the same position for a while, listening to each other's heartbeat.

  At last, we separated our joined bodies. Allecra pulled out of me so slowly as if she was afraid to make a mess, and even that gave me a delicious sensation. I was surprised to feel her juice filling up so thickly in there, and not a single drop of it oozed out. It was so warm and heavy inside my twitching womb. Allecra had come so much, I had never felt anything like this. I was so satiated and so full. It was the best sex we'd ever had.

  But this time, Allecra didn't clean me up like she normally did. And some part of me didn’t want her to. It was deliriously wonderful to know that she had left part of her behind. Allecra curled up into me with her arms wounded around my waist. Her soft sleepy sighs followed. I smiled and turned my head to face my lover.

  Our eyes met. I traced my fingers over her lovely cheek, feeling the delicate skin on my palm. The wind ruffled our twisted sheet. Allecra soon opened her dazzling eyes again. They greeted me with sweet tenderness.

  Always.

  CHAPTER 42

  Traveling with Allecra was like browsing through a catalog of your fantasies and actually got teleported there at the speed of your thought. Our quantum adventure continued from one city to another as summer days passed slowly by.

  Sometimes, we would find ourselves waking up in the vibrant beach city of Rio de Janeiro, or roaming the boisterous fair in Munich, or going to Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, or riding the London Eye. Some other times, we went on a dinner date, drinking red wine while watching flamenco dancers in Bueno Aires, or listening to a live orchestra in the Colosseum of Rome at night.

  I wished our summertime would never end. We could keep trotting around the world like this forever. Just the two of us.

  The sun rose high in the morning sky, signaling our new day in a new city. I felt tingles running up my spine when I awoke. Allecra was nuzzling my neck from behind.

  "Morning kitten," she purred in my ear. Her breath tickled me, causing my skin to prickle with goosebumps. I turned around to meet that angelic face.

  "Stop it! You're tickling me," I giggled.

  "I love your smell," she said. "It's intoxicating."

  "Yeah, I use something called 'shampoo'."

  "I don't think that's just it," she disagreed, inhaling my skin again. "It's your natural scent."

  "My natural scent?"

  "You don't know? Human women's natural scent is more seductive than any perfume in the world," Allecra said. "It can arouse your partner and only happens when you are ovulating."

  "Oh," I said and frowned a little at that. If it was the case, that meant now my female hormones were busy at work preparing me for a possible pregnancy. I immediately grimaced to myself. Whenever we took a break from traveling or were alone, Allecra and I would do the wicked deeds like any lovesick couple would do.

  It didn't matter that I could be trying to make dinner for us or in the middle of something mundane. The next thing I knew, I ended up in her arms — us kissing urgently and me being hoisted onto the counter or the dinner tabl
e with Allecra doing naughty things between my legs.

  Though one thing I came to notice was that Allecra loved releasing herself in me. I sometimes complained about the huge mess afterward. But secretly I quite enjoyed the sensation of her filling up my youthful womb with the powerful spurts of her potent juices. Her intense climaxing made my head spin in sweet delirium. I was just glad that I was protected from the shuddering possibility of getting pregnant.

  Sometimes, we would just stay in bed and be at it all day. I couldn't resist the pleasure of Allecra undressing me, caressing my skin, holding me close as her breathing turned ragged. It was all so feverish and blissful. I still marveled at the rapturous feeling of her going inside me, having every inch of her everywhere. The mounting sensation was like tidal waves crashing on the shore. It shattered my world with overflowing warmth. Our love-making wasn't a mere physical pleasure but a natural extension of ourselves.

  "How are you feeling?" Allecra suddenly asked.

  It was kind of funny to hear her asking me like that. Perhaps she was worried that last night's fun was too taxing for me. I reassured her with a peck on her nose.

  "I'm feeling great," I said, smiling. “How about you?"

  She studied my face in silence for a minute. In that moment, I noticed her eyes were seemingly veiled by a shadow. It was as though they were guarding something inside her mind. Before I could grasp what that look signified, her gaze returned to its glorious shine again. A slow drowsy smile reappeared on her angelic face.

  "Not so well actually," she said, stretching herself and spread her arms over her head.

  "Are you still tired?"

  "Well, my back is a little stiff."

  My face reddened in guilt. Allecra must have worked too hard last night.

  "Maybe I can give you a massage," I offered.

  "Nah, I just need a little hip exercise with you," she said. Her amused smile directed at me suggestively.

  "Oh, for goodness's sake, Allecra!"

  "What? It's good for us both, scientifically proven," she argued. "Besides I'm at your mercy now if you take a look at me."
