She’d been foolish enough to think that it would be possible to live with Michyle and Mikaya in complete bliss and happiness. But, it was not to be. When Mikaya was kidnapped, Peshra left the comfort and protection of her underground sanctuary in order to journey with Caressa and Michyle to Earth and bring back Mikaya.
“Do not blame yourself.” Lania said. “Blame them. Do what I could not. Turn your grief into anger at them. Focus, Caressa. Your daughter is alive and she needs you. Even more than you ever needed me. Remember the feeling of having no parents.”
Caressa remembered all too well. Growing up depending on her aunt and uncle who only cared for the money her father had left behind.
“Your child is in the hands of our enemies and your grief is doing her no good.” Lania said. “She will perish to them if you do not save her.” Caressa heard the anger in her mother’s voice. And she knew she needed to hear it.
She hugged her mother and un-centered herself. She was lying in bed next to Michyle who watched over her, never sleeping. She reached for his hand and pulled him to her.
She felt his entire body relax for the first time since Mikaya was taken as she reached for him. He pulled her into his arms. She felt the presence of Earth coming closer and closer and the weight of the uncertain future slip from her shoulders. She held onto him for strength, so grateful that he was there to give it. She pressed her lips against his neck and heard a sigh escape his lips.
She pushed him onto his back as her mouth found his and tried to kiss his mind clear of all worries. She allowed herself for those moments not to think, but only to feel as Michyle kissed every inch of her body. Pulling her nightgown off, she felt his relief at finding nothing underneath but her beautiful brown skin.
She lay against him and her hair encased the both of them as he held her tight and entered her. They moved together like an endless symphony. Giving and taking energy from each other until they were both spent in a timeless climax that gave Caressa the renewed energy she would need to rescue her daughter.
