"Absolutely," he said, hugging her in return. And he didn't let her go, just held her in a tight, yet comfortable hold. "I will be here for you for many, many years to come, so try not to worry so much. And you know that Artaxias will kill anything we need to have killed. He's wonderfully vicious like that." He chuckled softly.
"That's a very good thing." Lilly laughed and closed her eyes after kissing his chest once more. "He is wonderfully vicious like that but then again, so, too, are you. I love you, but we both know that if it all came down to it, you would kill without even a second thought."
"Me? I'm a pussycat." He smiled down at her. Backing her up a little, he adjusted the shower head up and turned on the water. Playing with the controls, he finally adjusted the shower head down once more so the water hit them.
She laughed then. "Yeah, sure you are." Her hands moved down his chest, a grin on her lips when she moved in closer to him. "I think we should get clean and get into bed. I'm full and exhausted. Later I will figure out what the hell is wrong with me. Right now, I'm happy just being here with you. Period."
Nodding, he pressed a kiss to her lips and handed her the soap. While she did that, he washed his hair and rinsed before they swapped items and positions in the shower. Grinning, he smacked her bottom lightly during the switch and hummed happily when she shot him a dirty look.
"Hey now." She was grinning that saucy grin that got her into so much trouble with him. "If I didn't know better, I would swear that you were trying to get me all riled up and not getting me the sleep I need." She was teasing. She was tired yes, but they both knew that if he wanted her again she was always up for one more round.
"I would never do that." He grinned. The look on his face, though, said she wouldn't be getting any more sleep soon.
Epilogue
"Just what the hell are you two up to, and why did I not get an invite?"
"Ax!" Gavriel grinned toward the door. "We were just killing time, waiting on you to arrive back home. She dared me to put my leg over my head, not realizing I am the pretzel man champion. Unfortunately, I fell over and this position is not conducive to getting my leg back to where it belongs."
Lilly giggled and shook her head. "I didn't think that he would actually do it." She got up from the couch and moved to Ax. Wrapping her arms around his middle, she gave him a hug. "Please tell me that your guys' schedules are now in synch so that I no longer have to be without one or the other of you during the day or night time?"
"Should be, he's off for the next two days and I'm off for three. After that, we're both back on days until further notice." Hugging her, he dropped a kiss to her lips and then looked to Gav. "We should just leave him there," he muttered.
"Hey! I heard that and no, just no, damn it."
That had Lilly laughing and she looked up at Ax. "What did you have in mind, if we are to leave him here by his lonesome?" She batted her lashes, actually batted them at Artaxias as if that would help her at all. "But we should at least bring him with us, because I have this need, this urge." She leaned in and brushed her lips to the underside of Ax's jawline. "For my guys to take me and make us all one, once more."
He gave a low growl and tipped his head to let her have more room to play. "I was thinking of throwing you on the bed and fucking you blind. Six or seven rounds at the very least. But if we bring him with us-" He let out a sigh. "Well, I'm sure we can come up with something. Should we leave him as is when we bring him, or do I need to get him back to his semi-normal self?"
"Oh I'm sure with the proper persuasion"-Lilly stripped out of the light sundress she was wearing, allowing it to pool at her feet so that they could both see she was fully naked under it-"he could get himself untangled. If he wants to join in, that is." She nipped at Ax again, right before shooting a look at Gavriel. "Well, you going to join us?" she asked, with a smile on her lips filled with invitation.
"Ugh!" he groaned and then whimpered. "I'm stuck," he whined as he wiggled around. And then his eyes went wide as he slid off the sofa. "Help!"
Groaning, Artaxias cupped her ass and hauled her in closer to him. "I say we leave him, he's obviously in no condition to join us," he murmured softly. Pressing a kiss to her lips, he sucked her lower one in and nibbled gently.
Lilly laughed against Ax's lips. "As much as I want to agree … " She let her hands move down Ax's chest and undid the buttons of his shirt as she did so. "I really also want to feel you filling me to the brim and beyond, both of you. I want to have the both of you inside of me. Fucking me. Filling me. So, perhaps we should help him because of that?"
"We could just get you a dildo, be in better condition than stumpy over there right now," he pointed out. But he'd caved to her request, she knew it, could see it in his eyes and the slight expression of resignation on his face. "Don't talk him into doing shit anymore. He has a need to prove himself that usually ends badly. Case in point." He waved a hand to where Gavriel was stuck on his back with his leg behind his head.
"Right, good point. Promise, no more asking him to prove himself," she said with a smile. "Okay, let's get pretzel man unwound and then let's make a break for the bedroom. When he's worked all his kinks out and thinks he can join us, he can then join us, but not a moment before. Deal?"
"Since he won't be able to move, I don't see that last part as any sort of issue." Sighing, he pressed a kiss to her lips before pulling back and releasing her. "You have a ten-second head start, darling, use it wisely." Smiling at her, he went over to Gavriel and grabbed his ankle behind his head. "Ten, nine." He threw her a warning look as he unraveled Gav, who gave a very unmanly shriek.
Lilly grinned and took off toward their bedroom. She raced along happily and then jumped naked onto the center of their massive bed. When she heard Ax say "One," she grinned. "Well, hurry!" she shouted, waiting with them with her hand on her own pussy and one on her nipples.
He just appeared before her in the room and tackled her to the bed. "What do you think you are doing with my pussy?" he asked, his voice rough even as he grinned at her. Catching her hand, he lifted it to his mouth and sucked on her fingers as he wrestled her other hand up and over her head. "Grip the headboard and do not let go. Not for any reason unless I say so."
Doing as he demanded, Lilly watched Ax, her eyes glittering in joy and happiness and that little edge of desperation, too. "If it's your pussy, then I suggest that you get my cocks working to please me." She teased him right back, her eyes on his and grinning when she watched his turn that deep shade of black that they turned right before he either fucked her like mad, or was pissed. And since she knew he would never be pissed off at her, not really anyway, it meant she was so getting fucked. In the best ways possible.
"You are a mouthy wench," he commented with amusement. Then he pulled back! Climbing off the bed, he stood at the end and tugged his shirt off over his head, tossing it aside. Next, she heard the thud of his boots before he dipped out of view and his jeans went flying a different direction from his shirt. Fully naked and fully aroused, he climbed back up on the bed. "Spread your legs, I have the need to taste my pussy."
"Hey now." She rose so that she could watch him and then grinned. Leaning back once more, she braced her feet on the bed and spread her legs for him, "That's a very damn good thing, because I have a need for you to do the same thing," she uttered only a moment before his hot mouth landed on her pussy and he began to lap at her with the intensity of a dying man.
There was a loud thud followed by a string of curses that had them both looking to the door. Shaking his head, Artaxias shot her a look. "He may be a little longer yet, hands on the headboard," he ordered with a glower. Then he had his mouth back on her pussy, sucking and licking and driving her absolutely around the bend.
She laughed, which died out quickly when his mouth returned to her pussy. She moaned and lifted up to meet him with her hips. "Gods, yes," she breathed softly. "Please." She begged him now. "More." It was a plea, a demand.
