Ba'al: Every Samhain the veil between realms thins, and the world of the fae blends with the world of the humans for a single night. Every year there was a ball to celebrate. Seven nights for seven Kingdoms. Each year it was held in a different elemental Kingdom, the fifth year in the Capitol Kingdom. This year was the fifth year, and the first night was themed with the Dark Kingdom. A completely black suit lay out beside a black dress. Matching masks set between them.
Fingertips traced along the fabric of the dress, letting it run through His fingers as He let his mind wander. He wanted nothing more than to be with his wife, and dance with her all night long. That wasn't possible though. They couldn't just forget and be happy for the night. The door opened, and a servant came in behind Aidan. The King didn't even look up as His Vakha spoke. "The Embassy is ready for You. Did you pack all of the clothes You wanted for the Week?" his eyes closed and he nodded. With a wave of His hand He dismissed the servant with the clothes for the night. "You're staying with your Son to assist?" Aidan nodded in response. "I have a dress set aside for Melodie as well if She changes Her mind. Just as I'm sure the Queen will." not another word was spoken, only a raised hand of dismissal. Aidan nodded, and left the room. The King cleared his desk with one sweep of his arm, and a frustrated cry. Moving quickly towards the bookshelf, He yanked the books violently from their place on the shelf, and threw them all into a pile behind Him. How dare He hope, or dream of the life that He had been planning. Ripping the back panel of the shelf off, He reached into the hidden compartment to pull out the tiny box He'd wrapped in black paper. He was a pathetically hopeful man. No matter what, He would cling to the possibility of the normal life that had always been just out of His reach. Sifting Home, He placed the box on the Kitchen table. A note he had written was placed beneath it. To the most beautiful Queen I have always wondered why out of everyone, You chose me. I am not as special as You seem to think I am. I am an undeserving asshole. I must attend the ball in the capital tonight, and I have set up a dress for You should You choose to attend. In the box are the very special gifts I had made for our babies. My love for them is growing close to my love for you. No one else could ever compare to You. You are truly my one and only. Mon Roi. With the note, and gift placed, he returned to the homeworld and the Embassy before curling up in the bed under the massive amount of pillows and blankets to sleep. He dreamt of a night just dancing and holding her. He pictured that smile He was beginning to fear He would never see again. That sparkle in Her eyes when she looked at him that never once failed to cause his heart to race. She was so much more to him than she would ever realize. Shee: She had left the house not being able to stand being there alone. She needed a distraction to keep her mind off of the terrible fight between her husband and her. Having decided to go for a long walk to try and clear her head, though it ceased to help. All she thought of was him and her heart broke more. After hours of wandering about she returned home, she wasn't feeling so good, the walk had put a strain on her. She went to their room walking in and the tears started to fall once again. Picking out a comfortable dress, she went off to shower, hoping that it would help to relax her some. Afterwards she dressed going down to the kitchen, to grab some fruit, it had been days since she had eaten anything. She took the small bowl to the table to find his note, reading it the tears came once more. Picking up the box she held it to her and wept fully, her body shook with the force of it. She didn't know what to do, she knew she could not live without him. Calming herself the best she could, then she sifted to him, sitting on the edge of the bed not daring to disturb him. He was the most handsome man she ever laid eyes on, she didn't understand him, how could he not see why she had chosen him. She had loved being with him, how sweet and thoughtful he could be, his odd sense of humor that matched hers. He was all she had ever wanted from the moment they met, why couldn't he see this. She had fucked things up between them with her stupidity, why did he want her, none of it made sense when she knew she had hurt him so many times. She wanted to reach out and touch him, the need so overwhelming, but she dared not. Laying down to be near him, even though she dared not get too close. Quietly she cried herself to sleep, unsure of the future, her dreams of him and how he swept her up into his arms holding her close, that smile of his that lit up his entire face, how she longed for that.
Ba'al: Sensing Her close, He stirred in His sleep. It wasn't until she was beside him that He moved, reaching a single arm out to pull her under the covers with Him. His head rested on her chest, hand on Her stomach. Not a single word needed spoken. All He wanted and needed was Her. Nothing else could bring him the peace of mind that The sound of her heartbeat brought. His eyes remained closed, but He was still awake.
Shee: *she moved in close to him stirring from her sleep. She hugged him close, her fingers brushing through his hair. How she loved him so, being close to him was all she had been wanting for, she was lost without him. Life didn't matter to her if he wasn't in it with her.*
Ba'al: *He purred at Her gentle touch.* I'm Happy You came. *he whispered the words softly without moving.* Never be afraid to just hold onto Me though. Your touch is always welcome no matter what.
Shee: I could never stay away from You...*she leaned up kissing him softly*... I love you, by your side is where I belong. Just didn't want to disturb you before.
Ba'al: *He returned the kiss, holding Her close.* You're more than welcome to disturb me anytime You like. *He smiled to Her before looking up Around the Room.* We should start getting ready soon. It's about to start.
Shee: *she had forgotten about the ball, but she nodded knowing he needed to attend.*.... Okay, we can do that whenever your ready.
Ba'al: *he cupped her face, and Kissed Her. It was a deep, meaningful kiss with everything He felt put into it. He let the Kiss Linger before sitting up and heading to the Closet.* Tonight should be an easy theme for us. *He glanced over His shoulder at Her with a playful Smirk.* Darkness.
Shee: *She returned the kiss more than willingly, pressing herself as close as she could to him, giving him one last soft kiss when his lips lingered against hers. She groaned softly when he moved away from her watching move across the room. A soft smile curved her lips hearing.*...Darkness...yes, we should be very good at that.
Ba'al: *grabbing the masks He'd had sent for the night, He returned to the bed, and handed hers to her. Sitting on the edge of the bed, He put His own mask on.* they'll do the opening greeting, make whatever announcement they want, and then we can sneak off together in the gardens like last year. *He smiled, and ran the back of His hand along the side of Her face lovingly.* There's a room full of dresses for you to choose from in the closet. *he nodded his head in the direction of the closet before leaning down to kiss her, and whisper against her lips.* don't wear anything underneath.
Shee: *She looked at the mask he had handed her, it was beautiful. He always picked the most wonderful things. She smiled up at him when he touched her cheek, slipping the mask on him for inspection after the soft kiss.*.... I will make sure not to wear a single thing that will get in the way. ... So do you like? ... *she asked raising her face up so he could inspect, her mind wandering off wondering what dresses he could have chosen that he would have waiting for her to look through, and the thought of sneaking off with him like that had the year before. That very thought sent a chill of excitement coursing through her.*
Ba'al: *He smiled at the sight of Her in the mask. It enhanced Her eyes.* breaktaking.. *He whispered softly with a smile. He kissed her softly before heading towards His own clothes.* I'll make sure Mine don't get in the way either.
Shee: *She smiled more getting up chuckling as she went to see what he had chosen for her.*...You mean your going to go naked? I don't think that will go over very well my love. ...*she laughed more stepping into the closet her eyes widening at the selection to choose from. She became very quiet standing there.*
Ba'al: Commando not naked. *He smirked, pulling off His clothes, and grabbing the fresh clothes. Black pants, a longsleeved black button up shirt. He looked over his shoulder. Towards the closet as He put the shirt on. Moving towards the door, He watched Her as He buttoned it.* You like them?
Shee: *Hearing him she smiled. Then jumped startled by him speaking so close behind her. She turned her head to look at him, her breath catching at how handsome he looked.*.... Yes, I like them very much, but I don't know which one to choose, they are all so beautiful. When did you find the time to choose them?
Ba'al: *His arms wrapped around her waste from behind and smiled.* Gave your measurements to the best dressmakers in the Kingdom. *He kissed along Her jaw.* some altered dresses they already had. Others made them to my ideas.
Shee: *She cuddled back against him, her arms crossing over his as she turned her head to capture his lips in a soft kiss.*...It may be me going naked tonight because I truly can not choose. Choose for me my love, I only want to please you anyways, no one else matters, only what you think.
Ba'al: *he returned the kiss, smiling against her lips.* I do like the thought of You naked.... *He looked up to the dresses, and moved to her side. Taking Her hand in His, He lead Her into the closet. Stopping at the section of Blacks, He looked them over.* Do You prefer velvet or Silk? Or.... *He reached for a dress He′d liked when showed before. It had a velvet top, would be tight on Her breasts, but loose silk the rest of the way down. It flowed with strips of black velvet, Silk, and lace along the back.* how about both? *There were no sleeves or straps for the dress, only a pair of long lace gloves.*
Shee: *She smiled more*... Both will work, and I love the dress, It's beautiful. It is what I will wear for you my love! I only want to please you tonight, make our appearance, and then have you take me in the garden again, relive our fondest memories!
Ba'al: *He moved towards her, jade eyes set as He wrapped his arm around her waist.* I can hardly wait My love. *He whispered the word softly before kissing her deeply. He let the kiss linger a moment before pulling back to finish buttoning his shirt.*
Shee: *She loved how he pulled her in close kissing her, her body fully against his before he released her to finish what he was doing. She took the dress, flashing him a smile before moving from the closet to dress. She stepped into the massive bathroom to quickly shower, then slipping into the dress, calling him in to help her with the leather string in the back for the corset.*
Ba'al: *While she cleaned up and dressed, he finished dressing himself. A long black velvet jacket with silk lining went down to his knees, and was buttoned from the waist up. His hair was long today, pulled back with a black ribbon. Black gloves and boots completed the outfit. Just as He finished dressing, He heard Her call for Him. He smiled at the sight of her, gripping the corset strings and checking their place before pulling.* How tight Love?
Shee: *She saw him move into the bathroom behind her, she smiled admiring how handsome he looked. He was such a vision, so dashing, enchanting. Her voice was soft as she spoke*...Tight enough but enough that I can breathe, please!...*she flashed him a smile as she adjusted her boobs in the corset, then slipped each glove on slowly, thinking of how it would feel touching him, the one sensation held back, but the thought excited her.*
Ba'al: *He watched her through the mirror, and gripped the strings.* Ready? *He waited until She was ready, and tugged, making sure that She would still be able to breathe before tying it.* how's that Baby?
Shee: Yes, perfect...*she purred turning to him, sliding her gloved dainty hands up along his chest to slip about his neck drawing him to her for a deep passionate kiss, slowly licking his lips afterwards whispering against them heatedly*... I am more than ready Mon Roi!...*She moved her right hand from his neck, grasping his wrist, tugging her dress up, to move it between her legs to give him a feel of how ready she was.*
Ba'al: *Grinning into the kiss, He moved close against Her. His fingers teased her as She moved His hand under the dress. His thumb brushed lightly against Her clit. His hips rolled against Her to show Her how ready He was for Her.* We might have tiime for a quick round. *He moved to urge her against the counter.*
Shee: *She moved back, hiking the lace and silk from the bottom of her dress out of the way. Her ass hitting the counter scooting up just enough to wrap her leg about his waist. His hunger matched her own, she would never get enough of him. She lived to feel him, all of him, deep inside of her. He was her reason for living.*
Ba'al: *Unfastening His pants as she moved onto the counter, He guided himself into her while wrapping Her legs around Him. His movements were slow at first, but quickly picking up. He needed her, He would always need her.*
Shee: *She gasped in pleasure of the feel of him moving into him. She leaned back, her hand bracing the counter her full breasts nearly popping out of the velvet corset, nipples brushing the edge. She kept her head forward watching him, her other hand secured on the back of his neck, legs wrapped around his waist, one slipping down to curl about his thigh, drawing him in harder, her need rising , she needed him, this, all that they were was in this moment in time. he drove her wild, her own personal addiction. She could never do without him, ever, he rocked her entire wold.*
Shee: What do you wish to do? Ba’al: *His fingers brushed through Her hair, His face buried in the top of Her head, and inhaling her scent.* Anything involving You. I’m perfectly content just holding you. It’s a nice day though, Maybe a walk in the gardens? Shee: *she gave a small nod of her head , clinging to him, but moved to his side so they could walk together* Ba’al: *His fingers laced with hers, keeping Her close, and never once breaking contact with her.* Shee: *leaned in against him, her fingers gripping him tightly* Ba’al: *He sifted them to the center of the Gardens, being sure to keep Her close even after they appeared.* Shee: *her head lay against his arm, she stayed close to him, his being there close like this was what she needed. Ba’al: *He leaned against Her slightly as They began to walk through the garden quietly.* Shee: *she walked with him letting him lead her, she was off in her head* Ba’al: Good thoughts or bad thoughts? *He asked, looking over to Her with Concern.* Shee: *his voice had startled her. She shook her head*.... don’t wish to discuss it, please don’t make me. Ba’al: *He nodded, and looked forward.* Alright. Shee: Thank you.....*she answered so quietly it was a sound barely above a whisper. Ba’al: *He gave Her hand a light squeeze before raising it to His lips to Kiss Her knuckles softly. He paused once they reached a slight opening in the gardens, taking the other hand in His, and Pulling Her to Him.* I love you. *He whispered, Kissing Her softly.* Was thinking when we do the vow Renewal, we could do it in the gardens like we did with the wedding. Whenever we’re ready of course. Shee: *she returned the soft kiss *... I love you, Ba’al. ... I didn’t realize you even still wanted to do such a thing. Ba’al: *His head tilted in slight surprise* Why wouldn’t I? we just had a lot going on, so I hadn’t mentioned it. I never stopped wanting it though. Shee: *her own surprise was evident *... just didn’t think that was something you still wanted, couldn’t blame you either. ...*her eyes held a world of sadness.* Ba’al: *He frowned at Her sadness, resting His forehead against Hers.* Of Course I still want to. Shee: *she hugged him, holding back a fresh wave of tears.* Ba’al: *He hugged her close, not wanting to let go.* Shee: When?...*she asked quietly * Ba’al: The Renewal? Whenever we want I guess. Shee: You do not sound very sure now. ...*she frowned dipping her head, her heart sinking once more* Ba’al: Oh I’m very sure that I want to. Just the timing... we never know when we will actually have time together. We could do it tonight, in the morning tomorrow... Next Month if we want to plan a little and have people come....Shee: You have me for the night if you want me....and it’s up to you, whenever you wish to. Ba’al: I always want you. We could do it tonight if you’re up to it. Shee: Sure if that is what you want. ...*she quietly replied* Ba’al: You don’t sound too Sure. We could just spend the night in if you’d prefer. Shee: Just want to do what you want. Ba’al: Let’s wait for a day when we can lead up to it a little more. Maybe we could do a little planning tonight? *He flashed a hopeful smile* Shee: Okay. ..*leans up kissing him softly* Ba’al: *Returns the Kiss, smiling against Her lips. One hand settled on Her stomach.* Where should we start? Shee: *a small smile graced her lips when he touched her stomach *.... I’m not sure where to begin. Ba’al: *He grinned* How about we set up the flowers? It’s Spring, so the earth powers should be at their Strongest. I wanna see what we can do together. Shee: Okay, what kind of flowers?...*she asked curiously * Ba’al: Roses Maybe? We could do a variety of flowers too. Shee: Sure, lavender and orange? Ba’al: That sounds pretty. *He nodded, and smiled* Shee: With a small wave of her hand the beginnings of two climbing rose bushes began to grow upwards, on either side of the archway, intertwining at the top and working their way back down the other side. The blooms bursting forth in pale lavender, almost bordering on white, and the other fiery orange. The two colors reminding her of her husband and herself. When through she looked to him for his approval. Ba’al: Watching the flowers, He Smiled wide. They were truly beautiful. He stepped back to get a better view, running a hand along one of the petals lightly. Bending down, He placed a hand on the ground, and closed his eyes. The grass began to thicken, growing greener with tiny orange flowers blooming less than an inch above the ground in a circle around the archway. Another circle of matching Lavender flowers grew around the other. He stood up, looking to her with a smile, hoping that She liked it. Shee: It’s perfect, just as you are. *she said looking to him with a small smile playing on her lips* Ba’al: *He smiled a bit wider at Her approval, stepping back to Her.* Perfect flowers for My Perfect Queen. *He kissed Her quickly before She could object. He knew She would, but She truly was in His eyes.* I was thinking We could Have Raina and Del Help out with things. Would be nice to involve them. *He ran his fingers through Her hair, looking to Her with complete Love and devotion.* Maybe have Raina put some flowers in your hair. *He smiled once more, remembering How beautiful she was on their first wedding.* Shee: *she slipped her arms around his neck, catching the last bit of his thoughts*.... We could do that. ...*she easily changed her clothes to please him.* Ba’al: *His arms wrapped around Her waist, pulling Her close against him.* Always loved that dress. *He whispered against her lips with a Low, lustful growl.* Is there a confessional in that church? *A wicked grin formed as he recalled the last part of the first wedding.* Shee: *he held her firmly against himself, his body felt so very good. She liked hearing him growl.*.... it’s why I chose it, and yes there is Ba’al: We need to go down there, and break it in. *He nodded, bending down to kiss her once more.* Shee: *she kissed him back sifting them to the church* Ba’al: *He stayed against her longer as they sifted to the church, only pulling back to look around the room.* I really do love this place. *He smiled before taking Her hand, and leading her to the confessional.* Shee: I am glad you like it baby. ...*she followed him as he lead her to the confessional * Ba’al: *His eyes remained on hers, a bright Jade as He pulled her into the small confessional box.* It shows the darkness in you that I fell in love with. Shee: *she moved in pressing herself back against him *..... you’re the only person I have ever shared this with, ever. Ba’al: I’m very glad that you did. *His hands lowered down her body, caressing each curve before gripping her rear, and lifting her into a deep kiss.* Shee: *she kissed him back hungrily, his touch excited her. The setting bringing back wonderful memories of the two of them.* Ba’al: *His fingers worked quickly, lifting the skirt. His hips rolled slowly against her, hands moving along her thighs, continuing to lift the dress as he wrapped her legs around His waist. He kissed Her hungrily while his hands continued to move, and unfasten His pants. Once He was ready, he lifted her, lowering her down onto him slowly.* Shee: Ba’allllll.....*she moaned as he brought her down over him. He filled her inch by perfect inch, he was her heaven. * Ba’al: *He nipped at her chin, fluttering kisses along the tender flesh just below Her jaw, but above her throat. Steady thrusts upward moved her body, His hands pulling her back down on Him hard. He let out a low, lustful growl, grazing his teeth lightly along her adam’s apple before moving to the jugular. He nipped playfully, nails digging into her rear as the pleasure of it all began to grow stronger.* Shee: *Her body rocked as he drove into her, his nips drawing low satisfied moans from her. Her excitement built steadily with all he was doing to her. She tilted her head more for him exposing her neck.* Ba’al: *once her neck was exposed, his teeth sank in. The thrusts pushed her against his mouth, sinking them in further. One hand rested on her hip while the other gripped her hair. His eyes darkened, the irises a whirlpool of jade and emerald. The taste of her excited him in more ways than he could even think of. His grip tightened, and His thrusts picked up as He gave control to his bloodlust.* Shee: *her head was yanked back as his blood lust took over, a small gasp of pleasure as she felt his teeth sink in further. She clung to him in the small confines, his driven thrusts only heightened the pleasures he brought to her with his ways.* Ba’al: *He loved Her with every fiber of His being, the pleasure she created only enhancing the pleasure that already existed at Her mere touch. He pulled from the wound, Running His warm tongue over it to Heal it before placing His lips on Hers in a Hungry kiss. He exhaled a healing breath before deepening the kiss, and holding onto her tighter. The steady thrusts had not slowed in any way, and were only building.* Shee: *her body rubbed along his with each of his thrusts. She could taste herself on his lips, in his mouth, his healing warmth filling her before he kissed her more hungrily. He was the only man she had ever truly loved. He was her world, she wanted her life with him, it’s all she had ever longed for. He was her thoughts in the waking hours, her thoughts at night, and her dreams. She opened up their connection fully, her feelings and emotions a storm that raged wildly.* Ba’al: *a moan was muffled against the kiss, feeling through their connection. He let her feel his own feelings for her through the connection. The pleasures she brought to him. The feelings he could never express with words. His grip tightened, the pleasure taking over, the pressure building. He pulled from the kiss, locking his now luminous eyes on hers.* Shee: *The rush of his feelings were overwhelming, she could feel how he thickened, growing larger, harder, the throbbing for release, her body reacted clamping down around him. The friction between them intense. She moaned and panted his name as she gazed back at him, encouraging more Ba’al: *he whispered affections to her in fae, the pleasure too much to take. One final thrust, and he felt that sweet release. The pleasure washed through him instantly. His hips rolled slowly to make sure she took everything in. He kissed her firmly, a satisfied purr rumbling in his chest.* Shee: *his heat filled her, it was more than enough to bring her with him. Body trembling as her release crashed through her. She kissed him deeply, listening to the wonderful sounds he made, her own purring slightly softer. Ba’al: *His motions slowed, but didn’t stop quite yet. A Smile formed as He heard her purring, kisses fluttering lightly along Her lips as He pulled back to rest his forehead against hers. His eyes locked on hers again. His hold on Her loosened, fingers brushing through her hair with one hand while the fingertips of the other traced along the top of Her thigh. The pleasure of it all still lingered in Him.* Shee: *eyes set on his she smiled, her fingertips caressing along the back of his neck softly, like a feathers touch. She continued to purr softly basking in the glow,of their love making. Her body more relaxed, the tension seeming to have drained away.* Ba’al: *He rested against her, smiling brightly.* I love you... You truly are My world. *He whispered against her lips.* Shee: I love you Ba’al. ..*she whispered back against his lips *... You have always been My entire world, I live only for you. Ba’al: I can’t wait to Marry you all over again... Shee: I can’t wait either. ...*her words rang truth, she could hardly wait for that moment in time to be here already* Ba’al: *He grinned wide, and Kissed her once more* Want to clean up together, and then We can go grab Aidan and the Twins? I have no problem doing it right now. Shee: I would like that....*nodded smiling, a new excitement filling her.* Ba’al: *He smiled as wide as possible, sifting them to the house, in the bathroom. He set her down only to turn and turn on the shower before turning back. He helped Her undress first, making sure to peek, enjoying Her naked form as always.* Shee: *a soft blush graced her cheeks as he undressed her. Those eyes of his surveying every inch of her as he did so. In return she helped him out of his clothes, admiring his perfect muscle toned form.* Ba’al: *His eyes, and hands roamed her body as She helped Him undress. Once they both were free of Clothes, He pulled Her into the Shower. A wide grin formed before Kissing Her firmly.* Shee: *she stepped into the shower with him, her body settling against his as she returned the kiss. The warm beat of the water felt good, it slid down along their bodies.* Ba’al: *He ran his hands along Her body, spreading the water over Her skin as He pressed against Her.* Shee: *she moaned softly into their kiss, His touch felt so good. There wasn’t going to be much washing done at this rate, something she didn’t mind at all. She slipped her hand down between them to stroke him nice, and slow, enjoying the size and feel of him.* Ba’al: *His excitement had already started when They had undressed, but now It had fully risen at Her touch. His eyes were a bright jade as He rocked His hips towards her. There was definitely not going to be much washing done, but He had already known that to begin with.* Shee: *she teased the broad tip of him with her thumb enticing him further, he had no clue what he did to her, always, continually igniting that want and need deep within her for him Ba’al: *A soft moan was muffled against the kiss, Hips rocking forward once more. His hands ran down her body to grip her rear, and pull her towards him.* Shee: *she moved to him at his urging, a moan of want for him coming from her.* Ba’al: *He lifted Her, letting out a lustful growl. His own wants for her very clear in His eyes. He always Wanted Her. He always Needed Her. She was always the first thought and desire on His mind.* Shee: *she wrapped her legs around His waist when he lifted her, her body already trembling in anticipation of what was to come.* Ba’al: *His eyes remained on hers as he lowered her down onto Him. This time it was slow. His eyes practically glowed at the feel of her. That would always be his favorite feeling. His lips Met Hers in a kiss as She was brought down onto him slowly. Their bodies turned, pressing Her against the wall as He took what was always his, and always would be.* Shee: *He moved into her slowly, filling her, pressing her body back against the tile. She moved against him, taking him in as deeply as possible, he was hers, she was never going to let him go.* Ba’al: *He kissed her deeply, His slow, yet firm movements filled with both love and desire in the same. His hands moved along Her sides, the water continuing to flow over them.* Shee: *She moved with him, the water making it easy. Her excitement built steadily with all he was doing to her. How she loved him, she could hardly wait to exchange vows once more* Ba’al: *He nipped at Her jaw, fluttering kisses down slowly as one hand reached up to caress her breast. His thrusts grew stronger, harder, and more determined. His Mind on the plans they had made. He could not wait. He whispered affections to her in fae, His hand reaching down for the soap, spraying a bit between them. The Caresses and movements of both would help with the cleaning while they had their fun.* Shee: *she flashed a smile at him, the suds lathering up between them with his steady movements. Small moans drawn from her continually as the pleasure grew.* Ba’al: *his hands moved, caressing, and spreading the soap more as the thrusts continued to grow harder and faster. Moans of his own could be heard. The pressure was beginning to build.* Shee: *She was hanging on edge, so very close, she wouldn’t last much longer. Ba’al: *he was not going to last much longer himself. The pressure was building fast. He gripped her tight, nails digging in, but not breaking skin. One final thrust, and a roll of his hips and He felt that sweet release before making sure she took everything in.* Shee: *she came hard and fast crying out his name, her body shaking as the pleasure crashed through her.* Ba’al: *he fluttered kisses along her jawline, leading to her lips. A low, satisfied purr rumbled in his chest.* Shee: *she smiled brushing his wet hair back from his face.* Ba’al: *He kissed her palms, lowering Her to the ground, but never taking his hands off of her. They continued to caress along her body.* Shee: *hands on his shoulders holding on to keep herself steady. Ba’al: *he pulled her against him, resting his hand on the small of her back to hold her up while the other ran along her body.* Shee: *she leaned up giving him a small kiss. Ba’al: *he bent down to return the kiss, smiling against her lips* Shee: What shall I wear for you? Ba’al: There are so many things that I love to see you in... I like the pastels the most. *he smiled, thinking of the flowers that they had set up for themselves.* lavender. Something lavender. What would you like me to wear? Shee: I am not sure if I have something so light and pale, as for you I prefer you naked. Ba’al: We could do naked. *he grinned* I′d like that too. Shee: The kids would be traumatized forever. Black, I′ve always loved you in black my love. Ba’al: Oh I think they′re already traumatized. *he nodded* black it is then. Shee: *laughs softly kissing him*...We shall attempt to behave ourselves, at least until we are alone....*nods* Ba’al: Oh that is going to be very... Very hard... *he purred against the kiss, rubbing against her intentionally.* we should hurry though before we get distracted with round three. Shee: *she smiled wide a bit of fangs showing at his purr, and teasing ways, purposely rubbing back against him teasing back*... So very, very hard to move away from you though, but you’re right, we should get moving. Ba’al: *he grinned wide at the sigh of her fangs. A small groan as she teased him back.* oh it it′s definitely very, very hard now. Might want to turn the water to cold... Shee: *she stole another kiss, dropping her hand down to brush her fingers along his length before taking his hand in hers, the other shutting the shower before pulling him out with her. She let go of his hand to snatch a towel to hand him, then reached for another for herself. Drying herself off she watched him, her eyes wandering over his body, she could not help herself, he was perfection.* Ba’al: *his hips rocked towards her hand at the teasing touch. Another soft groan escaped as she took his hand, and turned the water off. He warmed his body, not bothering with a towel. Stepping out of the shower, He kissed her once more. The effects of their teasing was very clear, and impossible to hide without clothes to cover. He wrapped the towel around his waist, to lessen the temptations.* you should get dressed first.* he nodded to the room.* if I see you just bend over, I will not be able to control myself from pouncing you. Shee: Then you should watch me..... *she turned leaving the bathroom dropping the towel as she went on purpose bending over to pick it up glancing back at him*.... I happen to like when you lack control. .... Ba’al: *The fact that She taunted Him drove Him even more wild. His eyes remained on Her now naked form, Hand gripping the counter as His mind raced with all sorts of Naughty thoughts. He wanted Her. He wanted Her BAD. They needed to wait though. It would be so much better then. The delayed gratification enhancing the pleasure for them both. He cleared his throat, Tossing His own towel before She could stand, he smirked.* Should pick that one up too. *He walked forward, smacking Her bare rear, making sure to let His fingers graze just right on Her warm opening. A playful smirk remained as He headed into the bedroom. She could tease, so could He.* Shee: *Oh yes, he was in quite the naughty mood and she loved it. The feel of his hand teasing, and the sting on her rear had only excited her more. She left his towel where it laid, her own she wrapped about herself. Walking into the bedroom she sat at the vanity to toy with her hair, running a brush through her long locks watching him through the mirror. * Ba’al: *He went to the closet, looking over all of his clothes to find something that matched what She had wanted him to wear. There wasn′t a lack of black clothing at all. It was only a matter of finding what was decent for the occasion. Finding something suitable, He pulled them out, and lay them on the bed. He made sure to stay in the Mirror′s view so She wouldn′t miss a single moment. He made a point to not wear any underwear..* Shee: *she watched his every movement, a small smile gracing her lips seeing what he picked out. She was even more pleased seeing that he was going commando, she loved that about him. * Ba’al: *He watched her reflection watching Him through the mirror, and smirked before crawling across the bed. His eyes remained on Her as he made His way towards her. He gripped Her hair firmly, tugging Her head back to Meet her lips in a passionate Kiss before letting go.* I′ll go get Raina and send her to help you while I track down Aidan and Del. Should I send Diana too? Shee: *He moved towards her across the bed, a small moan of pleasure escaped her as he kissed her. *.... it′s up to you. ....*she said quietly, moving from the chair to slip into her dress* Ba’al: If Her and Raina are together, I can give her the option. Not going to seek her out though. *He watched her a moment longer, wanting nothing more than to rip that dress right back off her, and take Her then and there. He cleared His throat once more, and looked down to fidget with his own clothes.* I′m gonna... *He watched her a moment longer, losing His train of thought, Mind returning to ravishing her once again.* Head out... *His voice faded, and was distant. His mind still wandering with all He wanted to do both with, and to her. He even made a gesture towards the door. His eyes still set on her, watching every little movement made.* God damnit I love you. *He whispered before finally tearing himself away, and sifting out to find Raina.* Shee: *She looked to him with a tilt of her head, straightening her dress into place. Her eyes watching him as he fidgeted, she didn′t have a chance to say much more since he quickly sifted away. She sat back down and proceeded to fix her make up waiting for Raina to appear.* Ba’al: *When He sifted to their Daughter, She was by herself. He smiled at her happily, thinking of what was to come for the day.* Your mother and I are renewing our vows today. I need you to go and help her get ready while I grab Aidan and Your Brother. Shee: *Raina smiled happily, kissing her father′s cheek*...Of course I would be happy to...*before anything else could be said she was gone, appearing in the room behind her mother.*.... Mom...you look...amazing. ...*smiling Shee turned to Raina*...Thank you my sweets, do you think you could possibly help place some of these small flowers in my hair?....*she sent her mental picture of what she was hoping to achieve with the flowers weaved into a small braid on the one side of her head cascading down through it.* Ba’al: *Smiles at the Kiss on the cheek, and sifts to Aidan. He was in the middle of lessons with del.* Good. We don't have to go too many places. *He smiled at Aidan.* We decided to do the vow renewal today. I need you and Del to be there. Raina is there helping Her now. *Aidan nodded.* Just need to get a few things for the ceremony. You and Del can go ahead. I'll come in a few minutes. Shee: *She watched as Raina easily did as she asked, and when done stood to look in the full length mirror, then turned to her.*.... What do you think, do you think your Father would like this? ....*she bit at her lower lip nervously waiting to see what she thinks*....Mother you look amazing like I said before, Father loves you no matter what you look like or wear. ...*she smiled at her daughter turning back to the mirror*....I just want it all to be perfect for him. Shall we head downstairs? Ba’al: *Grabbing Del, He headed to the garden, showing Him where they had set things up for the ceremony.* Oh! I almost forgot. *His fingers moved, turning His ring on his finger a moment before hesitantly removing it and handing it to his Son.* We’ll need to exchange them for the ceremony, so You’ll need your Mother’s too. *He nodded, looking up to the house where He knew that She was getting ready. Aidan appeared, setting down a large box holding all they would need for the ceremony.* Ready? Aidan asked, breaking His concentration from the Window. He turned to Aidan and Nodded before looking to Del.* Go and let them know that we’re all ready. We can start if they’re ready. *Del nodded, and ran to get His Mother and Sister. He held His Father’s wedding band tightly in His hand, careful not to lose it.* Shee: *Her daughter nodded and she took her hand, the two heading downstairs to find Del rushing in, nearly barreling into the two of them. She laughed softly with a small shake of her head.*....Del if I didn′t know better I would have thought were being chased by the devil himself. Ba’al: *Dell grinned, looking over His Mother.* They're ready to start. *He held out His hand, showing her His father's ring in the other.* I need your Ring. Shee: *She smiled taking her ring off a bit nervously, but before handing it over she took her husband’s as well, closing her hand around the two rings as her children watched. When she opened her hand with the two rings within it, there was now Fire Rubies embedded into the front of each one, her special gift for her husband on their special day. She handed her husband’s ring to Raina, and Her own ring to Del.*....There we go When it′s time you give my ring to your Father, and when it′s my turn Raina you hand me your Father′s ring. ....*She smiled at her two children*....Let your Father know we are ready, and will be coming out in a minute would you Del? Ba’al: Watching his Mother with the rings, He reached out to take the one given to him. He nodded, and ran back down to let Aidan and his father know that they were ready as well. Aidan nodded, and began to speak once Raina was in place at the edge o the garden.
“As this is the first time that you are attending a handfasting your Mother and Father thought you might be interested in the symbolism of what you will see today. Much of which are familiar in all but their contextThe circle in which you all stand is symbolic of the cycles of life, the womb of the Great Mother, a sacred place created for mortal and divine interaction, in which any negativity from the mundane world can be left outside and all the love and joy we feel for Shee and Ba’al contained within. Also the sacred womb from which the two are born again as one and the symbol of eternity.
Although for many the sacred and the mundane meet and coexist as often as is humanly possible, marriage is very much a sacred union, for it is a union of souls in which the bride and groom pledge unto one another their higher selves and all that is divine within them selves. In the Earth based traditions it is considered the marriage of the God and Goddess within. You will also hear an elemental blessing. All the worlds religions still parallel the agricultural calendar, because the natural world speaks its lessons softly and constantly. In the blessing we simply ask to understand and be able to see the how the attributes of each element can help us on our journey Almost all cultures and faiths have a sacred meal of communion with the divine. During a wedding it has the added meaning of feeding on and drinking in of the promises that a couple has made.
Ba’al, if you will now join me your beautiful Bride awaits!” Shee: *Shee could hear Aidan speaking so both her children would understand what all was happening today, and the reason for them exchanging vows. A good lesson for Del to pay attention to she thought, considering he would be doing such a thing in the near future with his Mutt. She sighed softly and put that from her mind noticing Raina had started walking towards everyone. She waited a few moments then followed after her to join Ba′al before Aidan.* Ba’al: *Ba’al Smirked, looking towards Del while Aidan spoke.* practice run for you. *He whispered, turning to watch His daughter, and Shee coming down to stand beside them. Once She was in place, Aidan began with the next part of the ceremony.*
“Your Parents would like to take a moment to thank you all for being here with them today. They know that making the journey took considerable effort for you and for this they are deeply grateful. Both of you are the most important people in their lives. All of the time and conversations that Their loved ones and I have had with Shee and Ba’al before they even met helped to make them who they needed to be to find first themselves and then each other. You have shared in their best and their worst days, and you are an irreplaceable part of their yesterdays, their today and all of their tomorrows. So as you can see although Some of you don’t live right around the corner you are never far from their hearts.
There are many reasons that we share in life’s celebrations with those we love. Ritual itself is designed to cause a change in our lives. The promises that a couple makes must be practical promises that when lived by will actually help them to safeguard their future. Another important aspect of ritual is that in being here we somehow feel closer to the couple by being allowed a peek into their inner most thoughts and feelings at this intensely personal moment of their lives. It reminds the couples here of when it was their special day and the promises they once made, and allows us all to somehow feel closer to one another as the community of family and friends that we truly are.
There is a term that we hear often at events such as this with very little explanation. The term is “Perfect Love and Perfect Trust” or “Unconditional Love” In the case of a marriage, and in the case of all loving, caring, committed relationships the ideal that this speaks of is not about perfection, but of expecting and accepting imperfection and human frailty. It means that a couple must say to one another: ‘I accept and I expect that on occasion you will anger me as I will anger you, and that you will hurt me as I will hurt you; But I know in my heart that between us there is love and affection and friendship that is stronger; And I trust that no pain is caused out ill will, or malice, or pettiness, just as I trust that we are together for a reason and that we will never throw each other away. I trust that at our best we will live together in love and joy and harmony and at our worst we will fight, with and for and beside each other, for the greater good without fear of abandonment. For the divinely inspired desire to be together for a lifetime in indeed something well worthy of fighting for. And these dear friends are the promises that you have been invited to bear witness to this day.” Shee: *Shee took her place across from Ba′al smiling, her daughter stepping to her side. She was excited, and it took all she had to stand still, and not smack Aidan complaining to hurry up and get on with it already. Instead she stood as quietly as possible listening to all he said, hoping both her children took in every word, realizing what a big choice it was to bind themselves to another, though for Del, it was a little too late. She caught herself before she sighed outloud, giving him a glance before returning her attentions to Ba′al. He was such a handsome sight as always.* Ba’al: *Smiling a little as He caught Her thoughts, kept His eyes on Hers. His hand reached for hers, linking their fingers together as Aidan began. He could not stand being away from her anymore. he needed some sort of contact.*
“Since ancient times, Our people have communed with The elementals to learn more about Ourselves by example. Since it is within nature that we all do abide, we ask for Shee and Ba’al the blessings of Nature’s Elements, Sky, Fire, Water and Earth. We do this that they may fully come to understand the lessons each element has to offer. The attributes of which are examples of those aspects they mirror not only within divinity but within ourselves as well.”
“We ask the spirits of The Sky to keep open the lines of communication between this couple. May their future be as bright as the dawn on the horizon. As Air flows freely to and from and through us all, may their hearts and minds and souls come to know the world and each other in this manner. Seeing not only with their eyes, may they together grow wise with wisdom.”
“Spirits of Fire, we ask that Shee and Ba’al’s passion for each other and for life itself remain ever strong and vital, fortifying each day with a vibrancy rooted in boldness, and courage. As Fire clears the way for new growth, may they know that this power is theirs: to create change and bring about the richness and quality that comes with a true love of life.”
“We ask the Spirits of Water, that their love for each other and the comfort of loved ones, like the serenity of the deep blue ocean, be the oasis that forever surrounds our Bride and Groom. May they be well loved, and love well, letting the surety with which Water makes its journey to the sea, flowing over rocks or around trees, even turning into vapor and riding a cloud, ever serve as a reminder that with love all is well and will endure.”
“Spirits of Earth, we ask that you give unto those you see standing before you this day, the rock solid place to stand and fulfill his destiny. May their journey mirror the vast planes and fertile fields, expansive and alive. May they find the right seeds to sow to ensure a bountiful harvest. And when they look up at the Northern Star, may they know that it is as bright and constant as their love for each other as well as the love of the divine is for them.”
“Light Sibling, Dark Sibling, Divine Mother whose presence is felt in all things and at all times we ask your continued blessings upon this couple, upon their union and upon their family and Myself who have gathered here to celebrate this joyous event with them. May they become one in truth and forever revel in the magik that is love.” Shee: *She gave his hand a squeeze, her eyes sparkling as she gazed back at him. His simple touch was all she needed. The words Aidan spoke were mere background noise, though completely noted in her mind, but her focus was on him, her beloved husband, all else always ceased to exist when he was near her.* Ba’al: “In the drawing down of the God and Goddess into Shee and Ba’al, it connects them with the divinity within themselves, reminding us that in marriage it is our higher selves and the best that we have to give, that we offer to one another. As a sacred spiritual union to become the embodiment of the God and Goddess serves as a reminder that as above, so below, honoring the God and Goddess within themselves and their mate.”
“Shee, Please bow your head” Aidan waisted for Her to do so before continuing.
“Lady Shee, I ask you to call upon all that is divine within you, Let it come forth and shine. In you dwells the essence of the Great Mother and the divine feminine principle of the Universe You are She who has been worshiped and adored for centuries and throughout the ages You are wife, mother, lover, friend, prophet, and confidant In you is everything that any one could ever aspire to be and more. In you is strength and wisdom, perfection and peace. Shine dear one and show your true nature as Goddess.”
Once finished speaking, he turned to ba’al. "Ba’al, Please bow your head” Ba’al did as asked, and Aidan continued.
“Lord Ba’al, I ask you to call upon all that is divine within you, Let it come forth and shine. In you lives the essence of the Gods The active force that has sparked and powered all life You are He who has been worshiped and adored for centuries and throughout the ages You are husband, healer, protector, visionary, friend, and confidant In you is everything that any one could ever aspire to be and more. In you is strength and wisdom, perfection and peace. Shine mighty one and show to all the God within.”
Aidan Turned to Shee once More. “Queen most Secret, touch with your grace and fill this woman with your beauty and strength in the unending cycles of growth and change that are the years and seasons of lives spent together in love and wonder. Share with her your fertile nature from which all abundance flows.”
Once finished, he turned back to ba’al. “Lord of light and life, touch with your power and fill this man with your knowledge and wisdom to guide him in this divine alchemy which is the union of two souls. Share with him the secret union of heart and mind upon which this union known as marriage must be based.”
Shee: *She bowed her head as asked, sneaking glimpses of her husband from under her long lashes, a smile lighting her lips as she waited and listened to Aidan.* Ba’al: “Delron and Raina will you now hold out the rings entrusted to you by Shee and Ba’al? Your hands beneath serve as a symbol of how Shee and Ba’al and their marriage are supported upon this earth by the love of their friends and family as blessed from above.”
Delron and Raina hold out the wedding bands in the palm of their hands Aidan continues:
“Light and Dark, guardians of all that is seen and unseen, Bless these rings and this couple who shall wear them. Keep them safe through adversity forever supported by your eternal blessing.”
Aidan takes rings
“The ring finger of the left hand, the side of the body that holds the heart, has been used for the wedding band because for centuries people believed that there was a vein that ran directly from that finger to the heart. They also believed that the words that were spoken during the placing of the ring would resonate over and over, like the circumference of the band itself, through to the heart and soul of both giver and receiver of the most monumental promise of all, the promise of a lifetime as husband and wife."
Shee: *She squeezed Ba′al′s hand as she watched her children step forward with their rings holding them out to be blessed.* Ba’al: *He squeezed her hand back, eyes brightening as He glanced up at her. Aidan Began preparing for the next part by taking a sword from the box that he had set before Him when He arrived. He recognized th sword. It had been his Father’s, and Hung in His office Proudly on display within the Kingdom. A small smile formed as He realized the next part.
“Lord Ba’al, if it is truly thy desire to become one with this with this woman: Then present unto her a symbol of thy pledge, and a token of thy love.”
Aidan placed the ring on the sword, and handed it to Ba’al. Ba’al drops to one knee, and presents Sword with The ring on it. As it glistened on the edge of the sword, He noticed the change in the gem, and smiled adoringly at her. Aidan continued to speak.
“Lady Shee, you are the most gracious and lovely one that Ba’al has ever seen, for he understands the essence of thy true self. The beauty which radiates around thee can only be rivaled by the beauty which radiates from within thee. The pledge of his sword is as the pledge of his soul. It is his prowess, his fire, his passion, his strength & courage, His ability to protect, defend and care for thee. With the strength of his blade and the endurance of its steel to represent what is in his heart, take from him now, as his beloved, the ring that rests upon it, and choose him to be your own.” He turned to Shee, giving a nod of his head to let her know to go ahead with Her part. He had worked with Diana to show Her the traditions in the ceremony when the idea of a vow renewal had first been brought up.
Shee: *She watched Ba′al, a wide smile curving her blood red lips, the tips of her fangs almost showing as he knelt before her with the sword in hand presenting her with the ring. Her eyes shone brilliantly, brighter than the purest of emeralds as she carefully took the ring when offered.*.... I accept the pledge of thy blade, and the eternal promise of this wedding band. ...*She then took the sword from him placing it on his left shoulder, then his right, then softly upon his head reciting the ceremonial words*.... For the boy thou were, for the Man thee art, and for the Husband thou shall be to me, I do choose you to be Mine own.....*she handed the sword back to him smiling as she spoke once more.*.... If though wilt now place this ring upon mine finger, I shall from this day forth, ′till beyond the end of time, take thee to be my own. ....*She then opened her hand holding out her ring to him to place on her finger.* Ba’al: Ba’al took the ring from her palm, slowly placing it on Her finger. "With this ring I thee wed. I take you as my friend, my lover, my wife from this day forth and into the fullness of time where we will meet and remember and love again." Aidan spoke softly to them. “Lady Shee, if it is truly your desire to become one with this man: Then present unto him a symbolof thy pledge and a token of thy love.” He took the Chalice from the box, and placed the Ring from Raina inside of it.
Aida Motioned for Shee to bow before Ba’al and present Chalice with ring inside
“Lord Ba’al, in the eyes of this woman thou art the only man in the world. Yours is the voice of sound reason and unwavering support. You the spark to the bonfire of her passions and yours are the arms in which she would have lay down to rest. The pledge of her chalice is the pledge of all that is within her, Her felicity and devotion. The place in her heart where two souls can be sheltered and nourished, that they may grow together, ever closer, and flourish as the leaves on the trees and the fruits of the vine. As the depth and bounty of her chalice foretell the richness of your future together, take from her now the band that lies there within, and do choose her as thy own.”
Ba’al takes ring from chalice, Shee still holding the chalice
Ba’al spoke with great affection in his voice. “I accept the pledge of your chalice and the eternal promise of this wedding band.” Aidan takes a bottle of Wine from the Box, opening it, and handing it to Ba’al. It was the special wine that He’d had made in the Winy on execution islands. It was made from their blood. Ba’al pours wine into chalice then takes it from Shee “For the girl thou were, For the woman thou art And for the wife that thee shall be to me, I toast and drink to thee! And do choose you to be mine own”
Ba’al makes a toasting gesture, drinks and returns chalice to Shee
“If thou will now place this ring upon my finger, I shall from this day forth, ‘till beyond the end of time, Take you to be mine own.”
Ba’al opens hand presenting Shee with the ring
Shee: *Smiling Shee took the ring from his hand, and placed it on his finger proclaiming her undying love to him smiling brightly, her lover for him could be heard in her voice.*.... With this ring I three wed. I take you as my friend, my lover, my husband, from this day forth and into the fullness of time where we will meet and remember, and love again. ...*She stood once more handing the chalice back to Aidan.* Ba’al: “As the Lord and Lady are separate yet one. so have your pledges made you. Drink now of one another’s love and know that you will never again thirst in your heart or in mind, for what each of you lacks the other has to give and the well spring of love flows eternally for those who drink often of it’s waters.”
Aidan Handed Shee and Ba’al the chalice to sip from. Ba’al took a sip, his eyes remaining on hers as he did. Once finished, He handed it to Her. Aidan handed each of them a small square of cake as He continued speaking.
“As food and drink nourish the body, so does love feed the soul of marriage. Feed now one another, feed forevermore the spirit of your union and be filled always”
Ba’al fed The piece of the cake that e held to Her, and opened His Mouth for the piece for Her to feed to him. Shee: *She took the chalice drinking from it, handing it off to Raina as Aidan handed her the piece of cake. She took a bite of the piece Ba’al offered her, and held her piece to him to bite from.* Ba’al: *He bit on the cake offered, eating it while Aidan began the next part of the ceremony.*“Is it also your wish today that your hands be fasted in the ways of old?” Shee and Ba’al: “It is.”
“Remember then as your hands are fasted, these are not the ties that bind...”
Cords are held aloft
“The role already taken by the song your hearts share shall be now be strengthened by the vows you take. All things of the material world eventually return to the Earth unlike the bond and the connection your spirits share which is destined to return to the summerlands. “May you be forever as one in the passion and fire of you Bride and Groom’s hands are bound You are now as your hearts have always known you to be, Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride!” *Ba’al Kissed Shee deeply, pulling Her close against him. Aidan handed a broom to Raina*
“Brooms are used for cleaning and sweeping. Therefore that they are used to symbolize the sweeping away the remnants of the past which no longer serve us is appropriate. The sword symbolizes the wielding of power and personal responsibility. As the Bride and Groom jump they are reminded that remaining vigilant over these aspects of the day to day shall help them to achieve the quality of life that they aspire to. Raina and Delron will you now lay down the Sword and Broom.”
Raina lays down Broom Delron crosses it with the sword
“Now putting the past behind you, and remembering always that the power to create the future ahead of you is your own, jump together into your common future!”
The couple jumps, kisses again, and exits to greet their guests as the circle is quietly broken down.
Shee: *When he kissed her there was nothing else, there was only him. She was easily lost within his drugging kiss she had waited all day to have once more. She moved with him as they completed the ceremony. She deepened the kiss further sifting them away back to the bedroom for time alone.* Ba’al: *once alone, he pulled her towards the bed. They had waited long enough. His hands moved quickly, lifting the dress.* Shee: *She had worn nothing beneath the dress she was more than ready for him too. Her hands moved swiftly to undo his belt and pants, she needed him just as badly, the wait in between early was too long.* Ba’al: *he kissed her hungrily, lifting her while heading towards the bed. He kicked off his shoes, pulling the dress off of her while she worked at his pants.* Shee: I want you....*she whispered heatedly against his lips, his pants finally undone as she worked them down out of the way. She could hardly wait to consummate their vows to one another, it was a new life, new beginning for them both.* Ba’al: I need you... *He whispered with a lustful growl before lowering her down onto him. He thrust their bodies onto the bed, furthering His thrust into her. Bright Jade eyes locked on Emeralds as he took His wife, Queen, and soulmate in one firm thrust. She was His now and forever officially, Just as he had always been Hers and always would be. Shee: *She cried out in pure pleasure as their bodies were thrown onto the bed, his thick hard length surging forth in one rough motion penetrating deeply as he claimed her to be his, something she had always been, and always would be. Her nails scraped down his back digging in as she held him tightly to her, rocking her hips upwards to meet his her want for him overwhelming, it was a need that burned constantly within her.*Ba’al: *He did not hold back at all. His nails scraped along Her skin, teeth nipping at the flesh of Her jaw. The powerful thrusts shook the bed with the force of them. His eyes turned black with the jade and emerald Irises of His bloodlust. Oh How He needed Her. She was all He needed, all He had ever needed.* Shee: *She tilted her head back exposing her neck to him as she arched up against him as his nails scraped along her sides. Her moans of pleasure resonated through the room from all that he did, the way he felt driving into her forcefully rocking her body thoroughly joining them as one in such a way where they were inseparable.* Ba’al: *His teeth dug into Her neck, His Mouth instantly filling with Her taste. The thrusts forcing the bite to grow deeper. A low growl rumbled in His chest as He continued, letting go with no restraints. She not only could take it, but loved it as well. That was one of the things that he loved about her, and always would. They were connected in levels incomparable to any other. Bound now in every way until the end of time.* Shee: YESSSS BA’ALLLL...YESSSS.....*She cried out encouraging more, her body moving so she rocked up to meet his thrusts, taking him as deep as she could. He knew exactly how to give her the greatest pleasure, there was no other like him, he was all she would ever want and need in her life.* Ba’al: he did not slow, or let up in any way. He pulled from the bite, and ran his warm tongue over the wound. He moved to kiss Her lips firmly, and hungrily. The thrusts continuing to build harder, deeper, and faster. The pleasure was greater than He had ever known. Her blood was intoxicating, and addicting. He wanted her, he needed her, and he craved her. And he knew he always would. Only her forever. Shee: *she gasped when he pulled from her neck, his lips meeting hers for a Hungry kiss which she returned. His thrusts never ceased but continued gaining speed, roughness, exciting her further. As he rocked her body thoroughly their bed rocked, headboard slamming into the wall, box spring squeaking as if was going to break, though none of it was noticed or heard, there was only him, her beloved husband and how he made her feel. * - Ba’al: *his body warmed, nails digging into her hip while the other hand gripped a messy handful of her hair against her head. The kiss continued, and He opened the connection between them completely to let her feel absolutely everything. Nothing else existed. It was just the two of them in their own world.* Shee: *She moaned deeply into the kiss as she felt his pleasure flood her, hers in return could be felt by him as well. It took things to a whole new level. He kept her pinned down with one hand to the bed as he drilled her relentlessly. Her slick hot core gripped him tighter, and tighter with each time he drove his thick, hard length into her, the friction only heightening the pleasure even further for her. She wanted to stay like this with him forever.* Ba’al: *The more He felt her tighten, the more His pleasures rose, the thrusts growing even harder, and faster than before. Any lesser being and Her bones would have been crushed to dust from the force of His relentlessly driven thrusts. A groan was muffled against the kiss as He gripped Her tighter. The pressure was beginning to build. He didn′t want it to end, but the pleasure was far too great to resist.* Shee: *She could feel him thickening, the way he throbbed he was right on edge with her. Her body was rocked with each of his thrusts, and she clung to him, nails digging into his back until the final moment when she could take no more. Tossing her head back breaking their kiss she screamed his name as she came hard and fast. The rush of her release like a wild fire burning out of control, raging forth throughout her body in a heated rush to hit every nerve ending.*Ba’al: *One final thrust, and they released together, His hips stilling for a moment as She cried out. His head dipped down to nip at Her chin as His hips rolled slowly to make sure She took everything in. A low, satisfied purr rumbled in his chest as He rested against Her. His heart was racing, and His breath catching up to Him finally. He hadn′t noticed any of that until the moment they stilled. He rested His head on Her chest, listening to Her heart, and closing his eyes while He waited for their bodies to settle.* Shee: *Her body trembled beneath his ever so slightly with small after shocks that would pulse through her randomly. Her heart had been racing wildly, but soon calmed as she finally caught her breath breathing more normally. His purring calmed her, her own soft purr joining his as she softly stroked her fingers through his hair brushing it back. She wiggled ever so slightly adjusting herself beneath him getting comfy, slipping her leg over the back of his. She was more than happy, and content to stay just as they were, she loved the time they spent together like this.* Ba’al: *He smiled softly as he felt Her trembling in pleasure beneath him still. His head turned, kissing just above her heart as it settled. Bright Jade eyes looked up at Her with complete love, and adoration. His chin rested just between her breasts.* Our New beginning is off to a great start. Shee: It is a wonderful start my love, everything is perfect....*she purred, a lazy smile curving her lips, eyes sparkling a bright emerald. She caressed his cheek softly, she had loved him for so long, and even more and more as each day had passed in their lives together. Their new start would be even better than their past.* Ba’al: *He kissed Her palm before Moving to lay beside her. His hand rested on Her stomach, smile brightening. A new start, a new beginning now official, and their newest addition to things growing so strongly. He could feel the life and strength under His hand as He rested against Her. They would be stronger in this new beginning. A steady foundation knowing exactly what not to do, and how to approach things. Past transgressions set aside and forgotten on all ends.*
Moves from the bed dressing quickly, then heads out of the room downstairs to the kitchen. From there she heads out to the front porch popping her beer open, cap flying. She curls up in the corner of the porch swing tucking her legs beneath her. The sun shone down her, but did not warm her. She cursed the nasty thing and it's brightness taking a long sip of her beer to try and soothe her nerves.

Frowning when She moved from the bed, He followed Her down, and sat on the opposite end of the swing without a word.
3
She curled up even tighter into her corner of the porch swing, and sat quietly drinking her beer ignoring him.
4
Frowning even More, He crossed His arms over His chest, and headed back inside.
5
His presence was not acknowledged in the slightest, she just kept sipping at her beer until it was gone. With a scream she threw it at the porch railing watching it shatter into shards across the porch. Standing she stormed off down the steps to disappear.

Heading into the office, He gathered His things for the day, and left for the Kingdom without saying a word, or even letting Her know that He had left.
The aftermath...
1
She slipped from the shadows of the alley way, and around the side of the building. She walked through the front door of the Tavern, eyes surveying the ones within. It was early in the day yet, and there was nothing to her liking within. She moved to the bar, laying a hundred on it and told the bartender to keep the pitchers of beer coming. Only then did she turn and walk off to find a small table in the corner back out of the way where she could watch and wait.
She motioned the bar keep, who came immediately to her table, she slipped him another hundred having him bring her a glass, and a bottle of whiskey. Once alone she commenced her drinking, now using the beer to chase back the shots of whiskey she drank down. She was cold and empty inside, the darkness filling her quickly, consuming her. Her thoughts turned to him, something she did not want. Snatching up the whiskey bottle she took a long deep swig of it, she didn't want to care, or feel anymore. This night she was going to drink those feelings away, making sure that they never returned.
Finishing off the bottle she got up, and walked out. She sifted to what she used to call a home. Something it wasn't anymore, and never would be. She collected a few things packing them into a duffle bag, taking only the essential things needed. She moved to his side of the bed placing her wedding band on his pillow. No note was left, no good byes to be said. She turned snatching up her bag and sifted away never to be seen again.

Returning to her old house she looked around and sighed. There was much to be done with it to make it livable again. She dropped the bag on the couch taking out her cell phone calling the moving company. She wanted them there first thing in the morning to move all of his stuff out of the house having it delivered to the other house where he stayed. After the call was completed she moved to the kitchen taking note of supplies needed before opening the fridge. She frowned at the old food, some she didn't even recognize. The caretaker was going to be breakfast for her when he and his wife showed up in the morning.
She moved the trash bin over and carefully pulled things from the fridge dumping them into it. The only thing to remain was a case of beer. Something she was surprised to see, maybe she would let the wife live long enough to clean out the fridge thoroughly of the mess left within it since she did make sure there was beer for when she did come to stay here, something that had been a long while. Pulling the cooler out of the bottom of the pantry closet, she proceeded to fill it with ice, and beer. Then dragged it outside to the back. Sitting in one of the lawn chairs she popped a beer gazing out at her unattended garden frowning, head turning she saw the graveyard to the far right with the old church that was slowly crumbling. The sight of it almost lifted her spirits, she was truly home, and alone once more, the first in a very long time.
She left the cooler outside taking a fresh beer, plus another with her going back inside. Opening the large wooden door that lead down into the catacombs below her home she descended into the depths of darkness below. At the bottom of the winding staircase she flicked her wrist ever so slightly setting the torches along the walls blazing to life. Slowly she walked off to her right down the long passageway in the direction of the old church. The walls were lined with rows of skulls from her past she had collected over the centuries. With each one century that past the house had been renovated to fit in, but here it all remained the same, the past there to behold, each empty eyed skull told it's own tale of death and horror, one she had a hand in. Walking aimlessly she reached out randomly with the hand holding the unopened beer, and let her knuckles glide along the surface of some of them. It made her a bit nostalgic, almost sad. She quickly pushed the thoughts from her mind not wanting to think of anything at all, but to just enjoy the deaths she had caused. She had truly been a monster in her time, what had she let happen to herself, she wondered. Having made it to the church, slowly she climbed the stairs upwards, pushing the large door open to enter the small vestibule that lead into the main area of the church. Stopping once inside she admired her work there, the two priest she had fed from still stood against the wall she had decorated so lovely with other skulls she had collected. She moved to the alter hopping up onto it, setting the unopened beer down beside her, then with a smile she popped the top on the other tipping it towards the skeletal priests. "Hi there fellas, you don't mind if I join you, do you?" she laughed, the sound echoing throughout the empty church. Sipping her beer, she then began to talk, not that anyone was really listening, the quiet was just getting to her, and it was at least something to do.
In My Dreams...
1
Looking over the Sketches in his book, his fingers traced lightly over the images. Always her, never anything else in this particular book. He'd made a habit of giving them to her as gifts each time he filled a book. Closing His eyes, he let out a heavy sigh before closing the book, and setting it aside. His hand moved to pull her ring from his pocket, and focus his thoughts. Through their connection, his mind reached out to hers, trying to gauge how much she had calmed down since their fight that morning.
Eyes remaining closed, his thoughts were only on her, the images from the sketches mixing with he memories of When he had drawn them. He imagined that the sketches were her, stretched out beside Him. Drifting off to Sleep, he dreamed of Her, hoping that She kept their connection open on her end, and would join Him in the dream. He needed to know how she felt before attempting to approach her.

She had sat in the old church for hours talking to the dead priests about everything. Not an answer to be had from either of them of course, which slightly amused her. She drank the beers she had brought with her, and when they were through she easily sifted her cooler to her so she could have more. At times in her one sided discussion she would hop off the alter to pace back, and forth, sometimes walk about the church itself pointing at certain skulls reminiscing the tale of the life she had taken. Always she would wander back taking her seat up on the alter questioning them WHY? This happened when her thoughts turned to her husband, their fight had hurt her badly. She wanted nothing more than to not care, but things were so different now, she had changed. Changed a lot for that matter, the feelings she felt overwhelmed her, her heart ached being away from him. She lashed out yelling at the skeletal figures, screaming at times until she had literally worn herself out. She laid out on the alter making herself comfy, only small chatter now asking what to do, and still no answers to be had. Her eyes fluttered closed as she drifted off to sleep, completely spent from the days events. It was only then he had reached out to her, she felt him close, but yet so far away. He was using their deep bonded connection to be with her.
At first she was tempted to shut him out, but she couldn’t. She had missed him so very much that day. She let the dream take her to him, meeting him half way, the need to be with him too deep to deny, she had been his heart, and soul from the very first time they were together. In her dream there was a fog that had seemed to have crept into the church, and then he was there, standing a few feet away from her. She sat up on the alter looking at him, her heart skipping a beat at the sight. As always she thought him to be so very handsome. He truly had no clue what effect he had on her. She hopped down moving to him through the low creeping fog. She knew he could see all the kills she had made, the skulls embedded in the walls of the church evidence of how destructive and cruel she was. It was the first time she had shared her church with him, it was a place they had never discussed, nor had she taken him to it. She shivered as she took his hand in hers, glancing to the broken windows that were now replaced with a lattice of bone fragments she had intricately made over time. She gave a small tug of his hand, pulling him towards the side door and out into the graveyard that covered the land around the church.
There she walked with him quietly through it, back towards her old home, the one that they had shared together in the very beginning. Once there she shook her head, not wanting to go inside, but instead led him to the garden. It was strewn with weeds, dried, dead plants, abandoned just as the church had been, but yet depicted how she felt deep inside. As they entered it, the familiar maze was there but not the same as it had once been, just as she had changed over time. She kept his hand in hers, but raised the other outwards, the dream rippled, twisted slightly, and then there it was her memories brought to life of another time when it had grown and thrived, much like herself. It was a time when the two had been happy, spending much wonderful times within the beautifully cared for garden of hers. They walked through it, only stopping when she did at a certain spot within that had meant so very much to her. It was the spot where he had first taken her within, honing his powers, showing her how he had brought the ivy to life, making it flourish as he made sweet love to her against the high, walled shrub. She looked to him then, a small smile curving her blood red lips. It was here they would talk, that is if he

She watched the confused look that crossed his face when he took in their surroundings. To her surprise when he looked back to her he smiled. She knew at a later date she would need to take him through the catacombs below the house that lead to her morbid church explaining all of it, but right now it was all about them. She liked seeing the color return to his eyes when she took his hand, in her own reality her hand closed, a warmth seeming to fill her, almost chasing the chill away that had seemed to invade her body in it’s sleeping state. As they had walked she could feel all that he felt, the way he viewed it all. His smile had lifted her spirits, but only some as he recognized where she had taken him.
She watched as he brushed the ivy he had grown, listening to him. She spoke softly responding. “I know….” It was all she had said for the moment. She watched and listened, nodding at what he had said next. “Our Anniversary…or was it Valentines Day?” The time had been so long ago, hard to remember herself, she could have sworn it was their first Anniversary that he had gifted her with a sketchbook. She had saved them all, his beloved poems, the sketchbook, the jewelry, all of it she had set in a box, and had stored it in the old church, someplace she had known it would be safe, and no one else would ever think of looking for it there. “You had left them on the porch, along with a gemmed tierra, here is where you left the last gift, which was a necklace. …. I still have them all.” She admitted quietly.
She had dropped her gaze from him when he shook his head leaning back against the ivy. That familiar ache, and pain in her chest returning as he spoke. “I don’t know Ba’al, I just don’t know…” she answered quietly. Her hand had moved to cover her heart that felt so tattered and torn. She dared a glance at him, her dull eyes meeting his. “Yes, sometimes…sometimes we are happy… It all just…I don’t know…” He surprised her lacing his fingers with hers, pulling her close to him. She couldn’t see how he didn’t hate her with all she had ever done to him. Unshed tears formed in her eyes as he placed his hand over her stomach, their child resting within peacefully. Such a gentle touch meant so very much to her. She was surprised once more as he pulled her close, yet still gave her the room to pull back. She reached up with her hand, softly caressing his jaw. “I have never hated you Ba’al, with all that has happened, never once have I had those types of feelings….I have loved you through it all.” Their fights during the time they had been together were horrid to say the least, but never once had she hated him through it all. She moved in against him then, slipping her arms about his neck, the need to be close to him filling her. Off in the cold church she clutched at herself, wanting to feel him once more. There though in their shared dream she looked up at him. “What are we to do Ba’al, how do we fix things between us?” she asked truly wanting what they had, had together back once more.

"Oh yes. Valentine's day." He nodded as the memories became a little more clear. "That's right. I remember now. "It was still fuzzy, all the holidays seeming to blend together. When She said that She still had them all, He smiled wide. He had feared that they all had burned in one of the many times thier houses had burned to the ground in the heated fights between them. The scar on His arm from just one of the fights itched slightly in the real world. In the dream, He showed no sign of it. His glamour was gone within the dream though. His true form always only shown to Her, except when they would go to the Balls in His Home world. Dropping the Glamour there was part of Tradition. That had been the first time He'd seen Her true form.
When She didn't pull away, He was slightly relieved. He knew She wouldn't, but feared it at the same time. Her question caused His gaze to be cast downward, His forehead resting against Hers as His eyes closed.
"I wish I knew..." He whispered, wanting more than anything to just magically have everything perfect again like it really was in the beginning. When they had reunited, it had felt that way, but over time that renewal had begun to fade once more. The problems were still hiding in the shadows, lurking, and waiting for another moment to tear them apart. "I guess the best start is to truly let things from the past go. Both of us." He spoke a little more confidently now, his eyes opening to Meet Hers. "I will work on My forgiving you for the things You've done, and working on fixing the things that I have done to Harm You." He frowned. "I truly am sorry for the things that I said during our fight. It was untrue, and uncalled for." He took a slow breath, holding it a moment before slowly releasing it. "Can You forgive Me for the things I've done to You?" He asked, a tone of hopefulness in His voice. "Can We truly let go of the past?" His breath held in the real world, anticipating Her response.

Seeing his smile lifted her spirits once more, she was happy she pleased him with having kept his gifts to her safe. The thoughts of their fights flooded her, how horrible they had been, her temper always getting the best of her, causing her to lash out setting their home in flames so many times. The damage to his arm he had done because of her. She looked to his arm seeing the scar there from it all. Here in their dream he used no glamour to hide things, he was his true self for her, it was something she had always cherished, something he had shared with her alone. Her thoughts flitted to the ball in his realm and how she had for the first time shown her true self to him. He had accepted her for what she was, and thought her to be beautiful all the same. A soft smile curved her lips once more as she brought her gaze back up to meet his, a frown replacing it just as quickly when his own dropped from hers at her question.
His strained whisper hurt her. He was just as lost as she was to how to fix things. She wanted their happy past, before others started to ruin things for them. They had truly been happy long ago, so many dreams, and wants for their future they planned together, some they made come true, but seemingly it all came with a price to pay. That price was a big one each time, leaving scars, tearing them apart. She had died a thousand tiny deaths with each one of them. Sadness overwhelmed her as she thought of the hit she had put on herself, only to be reborn from the ashes like a fiery phoenix. Their new beginning had been so wonderful, each day they lived was pure bliss, until the past raised it’s venomous head again. His voice drew her back from her thoughts, though he sounded confident about what he said, she did not feel it. Her voice was filled with such hurt and pain as she spoke, her eyes still dead, and cold as he looked to her. “Do you really think we will be able to truly leave the past behind us, really let it go this time?”
She had been trying for so very long to do just that, but it was a hard feat to accomplish. His next words almost gave her a bit of hope, though she didn’t truly think he could ever forgive her for her wrong doings. The unshed tears fell now as she listened to him, the weight in her chest heavier. Her was cracked slightly as she tried her hardest to contain the tears, hurt, and pain she felt. “I forgive you Ba’al, I have always forgiven you.” She wiped at the tears wanting them to go away, to stop. “I keep trying to let go of the past…I really have been trying…it’s just so hard to sometimes…I…I…I just can’t help it at times, I let my insecurities, and my jealousy get the best of me.” She cleared her throat trying her hardest to compose herself, off in the church she was crying uncontrollably in her sleep. “Can you ever forgive me for all the hurt I have caused you?....For my horrid temper, and ways?” It was her turn to hold her breath as she waited to see what he would say.

Both hands moved to cup Her face as the tears began to fall. His frown deepened as he brushed the tears away with His thumbs gently. His fingertips moved back to bury themselves into Her hair. He lifted her chin in His grasp, firm, but still gentle. His eyes locked on Hers, the faintest hint of green remaining in them.
"I always forgive you in the end. Some hurts just take longer to heal than others." His gaze on Her became more focused, eyes narrowing, yet not harsh. "You are the only woman I have ever truly loved, and the only woman I ever will. You need to accept that. Jealousy, and insecurities aside. It's Just You. It's always been Just you." He pressed His forehead against Hers firmly, in the dream. In reality He pressed the book against it. "Understood?" He asked in a firm tone, a hint of a smile forming at the corners of His mouth. "I am working on the forgiveness every day. It nags at me constantly, and, yes, my own Jealousy, and insecurities come out once in awhile, and I am sorry for that. I know that You love Me just as Much as I love You. I understand when You act the way you do sometimes." He paused a moment, considering his words carefully. "Other times I admit that I am baffled, and caught off guard by your assumptions, and line of reasoning. I promise not to attack though if You do. We will talk, and work things out reasonably when we both have cool heads. It seems to work better that way. when we're angry, it only seems to make things worse. Things get said in the heat of the moment, and that's when the past gets thrown around the most." He looked back into Her eyes, awaiting Her response.
There was a Knocking on the door in Reality, the dream connection weakening a moment as He began to stir in His sleep. No, not yet. There was still so much more that needed to be said. The knock came again. Within the dream, He kissed Her softly.
"I will come to You in the real world. We'll finish this there." He whispered against Her lips before the door opened, and He was pulled from the dream. Aidan stood in the doorway, a guard beside Him. Without a single word spoken, He sat up, and clutched the sketchbook to Himself. Her ring was held in the other hand so tightly that his knuckles were beginning to turn white. He pushed through the men, heading through the long glass hallways of the Castle in the Fyre Kingdom. The neverending light from above brightened the hallways, the look of Flames reflected on Aidan's confused features.
"I'll be gone awhile." He said over His shoulder while heading down the hallway. "You and Del take care of things until I get back." Before Aidan could respond, He had already made His way outside the castle, and towards the Portal. Crossing through, He made his way to Her home, finding the church, and remembering where she had lead him from. Once inside the church, He saw Her, asleep on the alter, her face stained with tears. Setting the Sketch book on one of the pews, He made His way down the Aisle towards her, and knelt down before Her.
Loosening His fingers, He took the ring with one hand, Her left hand in the other, and placed the ring back on Her finger. Once it was placed, he leaned down to Kiss Her knuckle before looking back up to Her face. His hand rested on her cheek, thumb brushing the tears away. The feel of her skin under His own was always better in reality. His eyes brightened fully, remaining on Her.

The breath she had been holding was released when his hands cupped her face, as he carefully tried to wipe her tears away. Her cold dead eyes held a glimpse of hope as he began to speak. Everything he was saying rang so true, all of it. She had always known deep down how much he loved her, but her own insecurities got in the way at times making her doubt it. She listened quietly to everything he said. She realized at times her way of reasoning was not clear, and misunderstood because she was upset. It was something she knew she needed to work on, a whole lot. He was also right that they needed to talk things out when each of them was calmer, so their tempers did not take control of things causing them to rehash the past as they always did.
She was about to respond, agreeing with him when he shimmered before her. She gasped softly shaking her head. “No, not yet….” She pleaded, but he was fading again. He gave her a quick kiss promising to come to her, then he was gone. She stood there crying staring at the ivy in her dream, wanting him back with her. She stayed within the dream wandering aimlessly through the maze of her garden. Memories flashing, hitting her like a ton of bricks. How she longed for the same happiness once more that they had had. In the real world her body stirred from a new chill, one that had entered unexpected, something not quite like the earlier ones, a presence felt, but dismissed as she tried to hold onto the dream, the memories that she cherished so very much.
She shivered again as she felt a warmness in her hand, the warmed metal upon her finger. She felt his hand on her cheek then, bringing her up and out of her dream she had shared with him. The feel of his warm, velvet soft lips on her knuckles drew her out completely. Her eyes fluttered open, focusing on him kneeling there before her, her hand in his, her wedding band back on her finger where it belonged. She turned her head kissing his hand that he had laid on her wet cheek. She could taste the saltiness of the tears she had shed in her sleep for him. A small sparkle lighted her eyes at the sight of him, he was really there with her. He kept his promise, and really had come for her like he had said he would in their dream they had shared.
She moved then, pulling him up from his kneeling position to her. “Ba’al…” her surprise could be heard in her voice. She bit at her lower lip waiting for him to rise, she needed to hold him, feel him, make sure this wasn’t all just another dream she was having, a dirty trick of her mind, teasing her, only for her to awake in the cold empty church alone. The warmth she felt told her different, but she had to be sure. The whole time away from him, even as mad as she was, she longed to be with him. She had always hated being apart from him for so very long, even when they fought, it was hell on her. Now to finally have him here with her, it was a dream come true.

Once she woke, and Kissed his hand, he smiled brightly. Straightening up at her urging, He pulled Her close, and wrapped his arms around her. The feel of her body against His own was a welcomed one. He’d missed the feel of her heart against his own, Her breath on His skin, the smell of her hair. His fingers brushed through the Auburn Locks, the softness calming, and centering him once more. He would never tire of these moments with her. The way She had spoken his name had caused an excitement that only She was capable of. He had only ever known it with Her. His insides feeling weightless for a moment, almost like He was falling while standing still.
“Ami mela Lle Ma Reine.” He whispered against Her ear before pulling back to rest His forehead against Hers. “I promised I would come to you.”He whispered, brushing His lips against Hers. “I prefer the real world when it comes to time with you.” He added in a hushed whisper before kissing her softly, and letting it linger. He sifted them to the bedroom to be alone.
Those not worthy of becoming the Wine become the Hunted. These unworthy are Sent to Eden, stripped of anything that May help them in the Hunt. Set free in the forests of the Island with no guide, The Hunter follows in pursuit. Any Hunting style is encouraged. The particular Hunting style of the Fyre King Was to Stalk,and Wait for the Prey to be worked into a frenzy. The Smell of their fear was intoxicating. The Man Being Hunted had run to the Center of the forest, The King shadowed and hidden by the leaves of the trees. The Man had stopped running, thinking that He was in the clear. Dark brown eyes, nearly black glanced at the trees across the way. The leaves of the opposite trees shook as if someone were moving within them. The Man turned quickly. Sifting down, The King ran his blade over the outer tendon of the Man's left knee from Behind. Just as Quickly as He had appeared, He was gone once again, and reappeared in the trees to the right of where He had been before. The Man's screams, and groans of pain were music. He was tough though, limping along as fast as He could to seek Shelter. He shouted out into the forest, words of Hatred to His Hunter Echoed, and faded. Limping to the edge of the Forest, He leaned against a tree once He thought He was safe again. The tree He leaned against burst into flames. Jumping away, The Man fell against His Hunter's chest. Unbudging, The King stood calmly.
A slight tilt of His head, and His eyes bled from Dark Brown to Black with Fiery Irises. The Man attempted to Back up, only to have a hand grasp His throat, and throw him to the ground with full force. The grip tightened, a blade held in the opposite hand. The Demon that Resided in the King had come out to play. The flat edge of the blade moved along the Man's torso slowly as He struggled for breath. Nothing was felt as the Man Clawed, and fought. Gouges were made into the Demon's arm, and blood flowed, but His hold did Not loosen, and His face remained cold and emotionless. The Blade turned, slicing along the skin. The Demon's Head Tilted, watching the Man curiously. "Which part should I take first?" He asked, His tone just as calm as His expression. The Blade moved down slowly, slicing the Man open. A choked, soundless scream was attempted, but failed. "Oh! I'm sorry!" He spoke cheerfully, loosening his hold on the Man's neck just enough to let Him scream and swear. A dark, sadistic grin formed on The Demon's face as He reached inside the man, gripping the first Organ He ran across, and pulling it out to Show the man. He looked between the Organ, and the Man curiously. "Do You know what this is?" He asked, genuinely curious before shrugging and tossing the organ over his Shoulder. He reached in for another, pulling it out quickly. The Man's eyes rolled back. "Oh shit, was that one important?" He asked, the sadistic smirk growing to a dark Smile. "I should probably put that back..." He whispered, shoving the organ back in,and digging around for another. He grabbed the intestines this time, pulling them out, and letting go of The Man's throat so He could use both Hands. Pulling as He moved back, the intestines slipped out even more, the man crying out until there was no more sound from him. Still, The Demon continued, pulling the intestines,and wrapping them around opposite trees like a Giant slingshot. Running back to the now near dead body, He began pulling organs out, and running back to his intestinal slingshot. Placing the organ in the center, He pulled back before yelling "Fire!" With great enthusiasm, and releasing his hold. The Organ flew off deep into the forest. Once it was out of sight, He ran to the body again, and pulled out another. He repeated the Process with Joy until there were no more organs to fling into the forest. Running back to the body, He began to rip parts off to shoot. The final piece was the Head.
With the body now gone, The demon returned inside the King. Black eyes returned to Hazel, all feeling returning to the Body. Looking down at the gouges made in His arms, The King swore under his breath, and warmed his arms to stop the blood from flowing. He returned to the Kingdom to clean and dress His wounds. They would heal quickly. The Hunt was most definitely worth the slight wounds. A smile formed as He walked through the Kingdom. He felt Much better now. There was nothing better than a good slaughter.
1. ENGLISH! SPEAK IT! If you can't SPELL the word WRITING, you shouldn't be doing it. Everyone is entitled to spelling errors, we're all guilty of it. But if your stats make my eyes bleed and I want to weep at how you have Brutally raped the English Language.... you will be deleted. I'm sorry, I don't claim to be a Grammar Nazi, and I don't want to be. There has to be limits though. I hate logging on and wanting nothing more than to attack my stream with a red marker. It seems to be more and more common lately.
2. NO BITCHING OR WHINING! I don't want to hear a bunch of "He said, she said" Bullshit! You have an issue with someone? Take it up with them, don't bring me in the middle of it. Problems with me? Take it to messages. I will not reply to harassing Statuses (Except My wife's) or Bulletins. I am here to write, and escape from RL bullshit, stop making me Relive shit I've already been through in RL when I am just trying to get away from it.
3. Replies will take time. Yes, I do get on at least one page a day (Usually this one), but seriously it is not realistic to hop on all of my pages all day, every day. If I see someone on one page, I'll hop on the one that goes with it. I usually talk to my wife outside of here to see what characters we will be going on, and what we will be doing with our story that day. Since my time has grown short, and my tollerance for bullshit drama as well, I only have pages in TFR, and nowhere else. I do not have pages on other sites anymore (They may still exist, but they are dead pages). I only write with Ma Reine romantically. I do not care to write with anyone else that way. If you would like to know my other pages, go ahead and send me a message, I'm happy to share. I usually leave my replies pretty open to respond to though. Also with my replies go in this order:
-Family
-Fae Kingdom
-One on one replies on this page
-Replies on other pages
My time grows short lately now that I have been moved to full time. Shorter replies may be done through the week as I get time, but I only do the constant back and forth steadily with a few people. Longer stories are reserved for My wife. We do not post them anymore unless we really want to, or are really proud of it. Even when We do, We don't expect them to be read, or even acknowledged. November and April I will be writing strictly with My wife since those are the months dedicated to writing the books, and transitional stories for the realm. I will be writing the Third book, and first transitional story this year.
4. I have one Lover, only she is allowed to play with My characters romantically. And only her alts are allowed to rape them. Any other tries will get ignored, and she will be told about it, along with your url in case she wants to have a nice chat with the person trying to seduce her Husband. Yes, he can be a flirt, but he won't do anything other than that. She also has access to My page, so Have fun playing Roulette with that.
5. If you've made it this far tell me one thing you like about my character, or one thing you hate.
6. I'm currently Not accepting non group SL's so please ask before sending a starter. I don't want you to go through the trouble of writing it all up, when It will most likely take me at least a month to reply to you. I play Multi para/ Novella on here, and my replies do take time. I put a lot of effort into them, and expect the same in return. With me, you get what you give. If I send you a 3-5 Paragraph starter and you send me one and a half... ok, fine. But if I send you 3 again, and it's dwindled down to 3 lines or less... I'll ask you if there is a problem replying to me.
7. No God Modding , This is an original character, if you want him to do something, ask me. Don't do it without my permission. You will only get ignored, one warning is all. No Autoing, unless it's agreed upon beforehand. But NEVER try to AutoKill my character. He will fight back. No biting for vamps. I know that the fae look like a tasty treat to vamps, but I would really like it if there was no biting. I rule over an army of feetlickers, tell me you fear the feetlickers when you sign. Teasing is fine, as long as I can tease back. Don't get mad if he pulls a fireball on you. And during a fight I expect them to be fair and equal. Don't dodge every single hit and walk away unharmed while my guy is bleeding on the ground near death. I've only had that happen one time in a SL though, and both were pretty badly beaten.
8. Nicknames you see used by other people are earned by them, and ONLY to be used by them. otherwise.... I WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN WITH LEMONS and sic the face eating sheep on you.
9. Have fun. Don't be a grouch all the time. Keep in mind that Ba'al is a Smartass, and if you let him know something bugs you, He goes out of his way to make sure and do it repeatedly.
Undead are brute force and first wave, always in the front of an attack. They remain dead until called upon. Any soldier who falls in battle is able to become an undead if the damage is not too severe. They can only be brought back once though. If an undead is killed, they are gone.
