“You ready to go?” Helios asked as Apollo approached him.
Smiling, Apollo leaned in and gave him a kiss on the lips. He smiled when Helios gasped, shocked at his public display of affection, especially toward him. Tonight was a night for change and growth, and Apollo was going to jump in with both feet. Releasing his lover’s lips, Apollo whispered, “I’m ready.”
“So where are we going?” Helios asked after getting in behind the wheel. Apollo could tell he was nervous. Yet, Apollo really didn’t know why, he was the one about to jump out of his skin. He was taking a big step with them, and he could only hope that he was making the right decision.
“Fairy is going to meet us at the Flowering Tea Pot.”
Helios whistled, and then said, “Fancy. What’s the occasion?”
“I just wanted to do something nice for you and Fairy. You know, to show you both how much I appreciate what you’ve both done for me this week.”
“Baby, we really didn’t do anything. It was all you.”
“I know, but I would have never done it if you two hadn’t pushed me, besides, tomorrow will tell the tale.”
“Are you worried?”
“About the election, no,” Apollo replied. “I am worried about tonight though.”
“Moon won’t let anything happen to your club, Apollo. She’s very responsible.”
“It’s not that,” he muttered, turning to look out the window. With so much happening in his life, Apollo prayed he was doing the right thing.
They arrived at the Flowering Tea Pot about ten minutes later, to find Fairy sitting on one of the benches, wearing a pretty yellow summer dress. Her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail, and she was smiling. She looked absolutely stunning.
Know to almost everyone in these parts, The Flowering Tea Pot was a literally a teapot. Dripping with fantasy and magic, the Flowering Tea Pot was synonymous with love. Created by Moon Goddess when she was still in high school, she created a place where lovers could come and feel the magic of the universe. For every couple who ever ventured into the teapot, the teapot weaved a tale of romance, love, and cosmic serenity. Apollo didn’t know how Moon designed the teapot for him, Helios, and Fairy, but he was sure that however it looked it was going to be perfect.
“Why are we here, Apollo?” Fairy asked, looking at the teapot as Apollo and Helios approached and stood beside her.
“It is a little intimidating, isn’t it?” Helios asked.
“You know, there is a legend with this teapot,” Fairy said, her eyes never leaving the structure. “It started about ten years ago. According to the stories, it is said that whoever sleeps within the walls of the Flowering Teapot will wake in their true love’s embrace forever.”
“I heard that drinking too much tea can give you gas,” Apollo replied, nonchalantly.
“Dude!” Helios laughed. “That was so not romantic.”
“Just keepin’ it real.” Apollo laughed, too. “Let’s go see what Moon has done for us.”
They entered the Flowering Teapot to find a large oval bed draped in white satin sheets, candles lighting every surface, and twinkling lights above giving the room a magical feel. Soft music played in the background, and flowers covered almost every surface. The room was a dream, a pure fanciful dream, his dream. How Moon remembered something from so long ago, Apollo would never know, but this room was literally a dream he had when he was younger. It was at a slumber party at Miz. Raven’s, when they were teenagers. Moon had invited several of her closest friends over, and Apollo was one of three boys. That night they all watched movies, played games, and talked for hours. It was also that night that Apollo dreamed of this room and feeling so happy his heart burst with joy. He remembered smiling when he woke, and Moon asking him why. Apollo confided in Moon that morning, then shrugged the dream off, thinking it was because he got to sleep between Charity and Sapphire. He never talked about that dream since, and yet, looking around, he didn’t have to…he was living it.
Once in the privacy of the teapot, Apollo nudged Fairy toward Helios as they sandwiched her between them. His hands went straight for her crotch and Helios’s for her breasts. They buried their faces in her neck, kissed, and nibbled on opposite sides of her head. Their hard cocks pressed against her, front and back, eliciting gravelly moans of delight from the object of their desires.
“Oh Goddess, you guys are so fucking hot.”
Apollo loved to hear Fairy talk dirty, almost as much as she loved to hear him do the same to her. Everything felt right, even though he was nervous. Well, not being with Fairy and Helios, that was something he would enjoy forever. Apollo just wished he knew he was doing the right thing. Suddenly the wind blew open the door, halting their progress as the scent of sweet jasmine floated around them. Apollo thanked the universe that no one was there, but when Fairy extricated herself from between them, it did hamper the mood a bit.
While Fairy tried to compose herself, Apollo found three crystal flutes and a bottle of purple liquid chilling in some ice. Smiling, he went over and poured three glasses of Raven’s special purple drink, offering a glass to Fairy first. She looked unsure, almost scared of what was to come, and Apollo wanted to ease her nerves. She took the glass happily and drank the contents down in one swallow.
Apollo didn’t like seeing her this way. Wrapping his arms around her, he whispered, “It’s going to be okay, baby, I promise.”
“I just wish I knew why you brought us here. This place makes me nervous, Apollo. In all the years we’ve been together, I knew were our relationship stood. Yet, now you’re changing things up. What’s going on?” That was his Fairy. Always the realist even though she thought she was a romantic. Nope, for as long as he’d known Fairy, she was the one who always kept her head on her shoulders, and a firm grip on what was real. Oh, she liked to believe in fairytales, happily ever after, and a knight on a white horse, but last year when he damn near destroyed everything by sleeping with her sister after a drunken night of partying, well, Fairy learned that nothing was forever. It took him months to beg her for forgiveness, and still today, there were times when he felt their relationship was still on shaky ground. He had made a horrible mistake back then. He knew that then and still knew it now. Yet through it all, she still stood beside him, helping him, encouraging him, fighting for him, when others would have walked away. Apollo was truly, deeply, madly in love with her, and wanted to spend the rest of his life endeavoring to deserve her.
“Trust me?”
“You know I do,” she replied. Smiling, Apollo, turned to Helios and asked, “Will you join us, Helios?”
“You bet I will,” Helios answered after removing all of his clothing and then putting his arm around him. Apollo glanced down as he handed Helios his own fluted glass and smiled at the man who was gloriously naked beside him. He wondered how much bigger and fuller his cock would swell, once Helios realized why he was here. When Apollo first met Helios, he knew that Helios was something special. He was new to town and alone, and Apollo befriended him. The more he got to know him, the more he liked the man beneath the mask. When Helios came to Celestial, he was standoffish, closed off, and angry. It took some doing, but Apollo wore him down, and the first time the two of them kissed, Apollo knew he had found the missing part of his soul. Helios didn’t have a normal childhood like Fairy and him. Helios lived his life within the shadows, so it was a shock to him when he moved to Celestial and he was welcomed with open arms. Apollo wanted him in his arms forever. He loved Helios and Fairy, even though he’d never said the actual words, but he was changing that tonight.
“How about a toast,” Apollo said, raising his glass. “To us, may all of our dreams come true.”
“I’ll drink to that,” Helios replied, taking a drink. Fairy didn’t say anything, but she did take a drink. Apollo watched her closely, knowing that she was overthinking again. When he leaned down to kiss the frown off her face, she slowly backed away.
“What’s wrong?”
&n
bsp; “Why am I here, Apollo?”
“I thought you’d like it,” he began. “I wanted to do something nice for you and Helios.”
“You’re lying. Tell me the truth.”
“Fairy, come on,” Apollo sighed, placing his crystal flute back on the small table, then turning to her. “I am being serious. I thought we could have fun tonight.”
“We could have fun at your place, my place, or Helios’s. Why did you bring us here?”
“I wanted this night to be special.”
“Apollo, I love you, you know that, but this is unnecessary. I’ve already forgiven you. You don’t need to do this.”
“Do what?” he asked, taking a step toward her when she started backing away toward the door.
“I know why you brought us here.”
“You do?”
“Please, don’t.”
“Don’t what, baby?” Apollo stepped closer. She was shaking now, petrified, scared, and Apollo wanted to know why. He hated seeing her this way, when she was always full of laughter, joy, and happiness.
“You don’t know me, not truly. I’m not what you think,” Fairy said, taking another step toward the door, as Apollo laughed openly. Out of all the things she could have said, that was the biggest load of crap he’d ever heard. “Fairy, you are the sweetest person I know.”
“It was all a lie!” she cried as tears instantly pooled in her beautiful blue eyes.
Okay…um, Apollo was at a loss. Turning to Helios for help, his lover stood in shock, silently shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders. Whatever she was talking about was really important, and Apollo knew that unless he found the underlying cause of it, he was not going to have his night of dreams. Walking over to her, he wrapped his arms around her shaking body, and held her as she tried to compose herself. “Baby, tell me what’s going on.”
Fairy pulled away from him, pacing around the small room. She said nothing when Apollo and Helios sat down on the bed, or when they silently watched her every move. She couldn’t look at them. She had deceived them both, and it was time to pay the piper. She knew she should have said something right away when it happened, but she couldn’t. She never once believed that it could happen, or he would own up to it. But then again, that was Apollo, taking the blame for something even when he wasn’t at fault.
How she allowed this charade to go on for so long was beyond her. She had to tell him the truth, because there was no future with him if they started out on a lie. Mustering what courage she had left, she turned to Apollo and Helios and blurted out, “You didn’t sleep with Pixie.”
“Uh, yeah I did,” Apollo replied, unsure of where she was going.”
“No, you big ape, you didn’t!” Fairy shouted. “She lied! She lied to me and to you, and the worst part was that I believed her. Oh, Goddess forgive me. When I think of all the things I did to get back at you. I was so mean and hateful. I wanted to you pay for what you did. I wanted you to feel the pain you caused me. I am so sorry, Apollo, so very sorry.”
“Baby, I think I’m a better judge of who I slept with and not. And let me assure you, I slept with Pixie.”
“No, you didn’t…not really. She told me today, that she fibbed. When I told her that I was meeting you and Helios here at the Flowering Teapot, she came clean. She told me that she couldn’t let me go into a union knowing I believed a lie. She said it wasn’t right to start a marriage that way. So she said it was all a lie. Everything. That night, when you thought you slept with my sister, she said you were so drunk. She said she covered you with a blanket and stayed with you to make sure you didn’t get sick. Oh, she said she tried to entice you, she even admitted to touching you and kissing you, but she said nothing happened. After a while you eventually passed out.”
“But I remember sleeping with someone. Who the hell did I sleep with?”
“Me.” Fairy blushed.
“Excuse me?” Apollo asked.
“Could you repeat that?” Helios added.
Fairy huffed. “You talk in your sleep, Apollo. You always do when you’re drunk. Pixie said when she leaned over to kiss you, you called her by my name. In your delirium, you thought you were sleeping with me.”
“So I did sleep with Pixie?”
“No, you idiot…you slept with me! Me!”
“But you weren’t there, Fairy. You were in Omaha at a Wiccan Convention.”
“I know that!” Fairy shouted, waving her arms in the air. “In your mind, however, you were sleeping with me, not her. You didn’t want Pixie, you wanted me.”
“I’m so confused,” Helios moaned.
“You’re not the only one,” Apollo replied cautiously.
“You’re not listening,” Fairy said getting aggravated. “You didn’t really sleep with Pixie. In your mind, in your heart, in your soul, you slept with me, me, me!”
“But his body slept with your sister?” Helios replied.
“That’s only a technicality,” Fairy replied, waving the thought off as if it were so insignificant, it didn’t matter.
“I need a drink.” Helios chuckled, getting up. “I want you both to know that this is the most ridiculous conversation on the planet.”
“It’s not ridiculous. He needs to know the truth before he asks us to marry him,” Fairy said sternly.
“How did you know I was going to ask?” Apollo questioned.
“Oh please,” Fairy sighed. “You bring us to the Flowering Teapot for a romantic evening. You might as well have written it in the sky. The whole town probably already knows. Seriously, Apollo, you could have been more discreet.”
“It’s not in his nature, baby, and regardless of what you think, Fairy,” Helios said, gently touching her cheek. “He still slept with Pixie.”
When Fairy looked perplexed at what he said, Helios just smiled at her and shook his head. He went and poured himself a full glass of Raven’s purple drink. This conversation was seriously dampening his mood. It was funny as hell, but it looked as if he wasn’t going to get any sex anytime soon, until Fairy and Apollo came to some agreement. Therefore, he grabbed the bottle of purple liquid, returned to the bed, and made himself comfortable. Something told him it was going to be a long night.
Chapter Ten
Over at the Rainbow Room
“He’s going to kill me,” Moon Goddess whispered to herself as she watched in shock as the Celestial Chapter of Cosmic Wiccans partied boisterously. Never in all of her years as the Chapter’s lead witch had she ever seen her coven let loose and welcome the universe in such a way. She knew that the Saturn and Uranus were aligned, and that the crescent moon was hovering close to Mercury, but she thought if they stayed indoors, the effect wouldn’t be so severe. Apparently, she thought wrong.
She had decorated the Rainbow Room accordingly, and with the atmosphere perfect for tonight’s gathering, she assumed the night would go off without a hitch. However, as the social got into full swing, she realized that just maybe the universe was trying to tell her something. She was a smart woman, and could read the signs, but did the universe have to ride in on several Harleys?
What was supposed to be a night of gathering and celebration had turned out to be a night of pleasure and fornication. Men moved through the crowd groping and kissing everything in sight. Her coven welcomed them warmly. The soft tranquil music was instantly replaced with modern-day hip-hop as couples danced and laughed, having a glorious time.
She spotted Charity near the stage, half-naked, grinding on Zeus as she kissed Poseidon and Hades played with her breast. At a table not far away, Capri and Aquarius were in the process of showing two couples the proper techniques to acquire full orgasmic pleasure. Sapphire was standing on the bar, pouring liquor down her shirt as four bikers pawed and groped her body. Chardonnay was in the middle of the dance floor, grinding her ass against a man in a suit, while another man was currently sticking his tongue down her throat. Heaven Meyer, one of the most levelheaded women she knew, was against the wall near the entran
ce as a large man in leather fucked her restlessly, and those were just the ones she could see.
Loud laughter caught her attention. She turned looking for the source and found it, cringing. “Cricket, no!” she shouted, running through the crowd. She tried dodging hands and arms, and almost made it to the other side of the club, when two someone’s grabbed her, and pulled her back against a hard chest. Sandwiched between two hard bodies, she tried to extricate herself, when a soft low husky voice whispered against her ear. “Ciao, Natalia.”
Moon Goddess froze.
* * * *
“So let me get this straight,” Apollo said, trying to rub away the headache that was forming. “I didn’t sleep with Pixie. I slept with you, even though you were in another state. Though it was my body, my conscience slept with you. Therefore, it wasn’t Pixie I fucked, but in theory, you?”
“Yes!” Fairy grinned.
“Dude.” Helios laughed, taking another drink. “That made no sense.”
“So, I didn’t cheat on you?” Apollo asked, needing clarification.
Fairy sighed, then smiled, and said, “No.”
“Yes, you did,” Helios slurred, laughing even harder.
Helios handed him a full glass with his free hand. He was clearly very comfortable watching the drama unfold. Actually it looked as if he were enjoying it a bit too much. Apollo couldn’t help drink in the sight of him, from his toned neck, his muscular chest, and down to his beautiful chocolate dick.
“You are one beautiful man, Helios,” Apollo said, moving his eyes back up and toward his, and putting his hand on his thigh. Apollo wanted to touch his cock so bad, to bend down, and take him in his mouth, to taste him, but he figured Fairy wasn’t ready to move onto more orgasmic frivolities yet.
“Not so bad yourself, Apollo,” he drawled, softly stroking his cock, looking directly at him as Apollo stared. “Can we fuck now?”
Fairy laughed, stripped out of her dress, and sauntered over to join them. That really brought their cocks to life. She was a remarkable sight, and literally took their breath away as she approached them. Long blonde hair graciously flowing over soft shoulders, unparalleled beauty in her smiling face, large shapely all-natural breasts, an hourglass figure, and million-dollar legs. Tall, majestic, and quietly confident.
