Lilly's Torment(46)

Lilly cried out, pure need and pleasure ringing through her voice. She  sobbed, she couldn't help herself. It felt so very, very good to have  him taking her as he was. Hell yes, she loved it.

Her orgasm tore through her, suddenly and sharply. Gavriel's voice was  sharp as he came with her, calling her name as they both vibrated from  the explosion they'd created together. Then they collapsed, panting hard  and desperately, still holding one another tight as their bodies  continued to shiver together.

Lilly was all smiles. "Goodness," she whispered and stroked her hands  over his shoulders and back. "I really, really love the way that feels. I  love the feeling of you doing that to me. So very, very much so. I  swear, I think I saw stars." In a good way, too.

His chuckle sent little jolts through her body where they were still  connected intimately. "I know I did, they were quite sparkly and  wonderful," he said. Rolling them to the side, he kept her tight to him,  not losing their connection.

"I love that we are so fully and totally connected," she whispered  softly. "I love the feelings of having you inside of me." Lilly was  strange. She loved the feeling of being one with her men, and when it  was all three of them it was sheer and pure perfection to her.

"Well I have to admit, I do like being buried deep inside of you as  well." He chuckled. Kissing her, he leaned back a little and stretched.  "I suppose I should get up and you should get dressed for your day at  the office. Especially since I can't hear anything downstairs, likely  not a good sign."

"Yes, we should get up and get dressed. I do need to get into the office  and helping Ax. I know that you need to get some more rest as well, so  that you can work tonight." She snuggled against him with a slow sigh  and then looked up at him. "Are you sure that you are going to be okay  alone, without us here?"

"I'm sure I can manage to fend for myself for a few hours. Oh, it will  be a mighty hardship, and you may return to find my body curled up on  the floor, unable to continue onward. But I shall try with all my might  to make it work." Throwing a hand up, he pressed it to his forehead in a  dramatic move.

"What a load of shit," Artaxias said from right behind her where she lay.

Lilly laughed, she couldn't help herself. "Oh god, that's priceless.  Even I know just what a crock that is," Lilly told Gavriel with a grin.  "You are too funny. Don't give up your day job for an acting career,  mister. It would really suck to be you, because I don't think you would  get a steady job acting. You are far too dramatic."

"What are you two going on about? That was primo shit," he said, glaring  at her and then over her shoulder. His expression quickly went to the  "uh-oh" look one got when caught with their hand in the cookie jar.  "Someone doesn't look all that pleased at the moment," he told her in a  not-so-very-quiet tone of voice. Not that it would have mattered,  apparently Artaxias had the hearing of a bloody bat.                       
       
           



       

Looking back at Ax, Lilly smiled. "How about you help me up out of bed  so that I can get redressed and we can go in to work?" Now she would  smell like both of her men. She loved it. Holding her hand out, she  wiggled her fingers. "Come on, Ax. Help me out?"

He turned his eyes her way and cocked a brow at her. For a long moment  he just stared, and then he took her hand, his hold ever gentle, but  firm. Something she'd noticed about him was that, he was always  extremely careful with his strength, even during sex, or perhaps she  should say, especially during sex. He drew her to a sitting position.  "Hurry up." It was all he said to her.

Lilly got up on her knees and wrapped her arms around Ax's shoulders to  pull him close and hug him. "I love you, too, big guy," she assured him  and let him pull her from the bed. Reaching down after a moment, she  grabbed her clothes and pulled them on. Turning, she looked at Gavriel  and smiled. "Be good, Gav. No hurting our home or the things in it," she  teased him. "And get some more rest."

"I plan on it as soon as you noisy people leave," he said. With a wave,  he pulled a pillow over his head and disappeared under the blankets once  more.

Artaxias was waiting for her in the doorway and took her hand when she  got close enough. Moving through the house, they left quickly. She knew  she'd thrown a kink in his schedule but she wasn't going to apologize.  Not when it was one of her mates that had been the amazing distraction  to the schedule.

Lilly grinned stupidly, she couldn't help herself. "Do you know just how  much I adore smelling like the two of you? Knowing that the Luhpynes,  Vhampires, and Ahnjels will all smell you both on me, it does a great  deal to me. I know that's silly, but there it is. I love smelling like  my mates."

"It's not silly," he said, shaking his head at her. "It's a territorial  thing and one I fully approve of. It lets the others know to keep their  mitts off you or we'll do them great bodily harm. Well, I will. Gav  would likely make them kill themselves by talking until their ears  bled."

Lilly laughed. "He really is very young compared to you, isn't he?"  Gavriel was still far older than Lilly, but to Ax, he was likely a  youngling. "He has a great deal of energy. He just needs something to  turn that energy to. He needs to just simply figure out how to channel  that energy so that he doesn't drive us all batty."

"He is young, yes," he said, his attention never wavering from the road.  "Still haven't figured out how he managed to survive his childhood  without being drowned by me. It was damn close a few times, and would  have been so simple, too. Fortunately for him, I was obviously having  doubts."

"Well, I for one am very happy that you didn't drown him as a child,"  she teased him. "I take it that you were able to get his mother's  communication device deactivated so she isn't constantly bugging you?"  she asked hopefully.

"Yes, but I also had mine removed. The other part of it remains, it's  fused with the bone there, but the chip that controls it all has been  taken out. I'm going old school and sticking with a cellular device.  It's a little less convenient but much better than my brain rattling  about in my skull when someone is impatient to reach me."

"Good. I'm glad that you were able to do something to cut out that pain  that she gave you." She went serious for a moment and asked him, "Her  condition, is it life threatening?" She hoped not. She understood what  it was to lose those that you loved. She didn't want Gav to ever have  that feeling.

"At the moment, no. But it could potentially get there. As she is  magically inclined, like all Spirytes are, the magic may in time start  to backfire. Because of this disease that is starting to eat away at her  mind, she may not remember the safeties for the magic she holds within.  And, if that happens, she could very well hurt herself or, Gods forbid,  kill herself without any intent."

"Oh dear god," she whispered in utter shock. "That's terrible," she  admitted to him quietly. "I don't know how Gavriel would handle that.  He's very much a family man, he loves his mother and I'm afraid that  would hurt him if that happened to her."

"That's why he has us, to help him if it comes to that. I'm not saying  it will. That is the very worst case scenario out there, Lilly. In most  cases, those with this disease do something with their abilities and end  up frying them out, the ability, I mean. They live out the rest of  their days as a human would, being looked after and cared for in  comfort."

"And would it hurt him if he were to help her?" she asked with a frown.  "Because I don't want to lose him. I can't lose him, just as I can't  lose you." She wasn't sure how any of this would happen. She really  wasn't.

"I don't know. I only know what Gavriel has shared about this disease  with me. The Spirytes keep it very close to the vest. It's the one thing  that all of our medical innovations and discoveries on the other side  of the Veil still cannot cure. All we can do is make those with it  suffer as little as we can, and hope for the best."                       
       
           



       

"Goodness. I feel terrible for both Gavriel and his mother. She will  never know that he's found his mate, will she? Not really, at least. She  won't know that he's found love with a human." She didn't know if that  was an issue with them or not, but it worried her.
