Part 5 (1/2)

”Will you do it for me?”

He bent down and kissed my stomach. I felt a wave of hot energy run through it, and my legs shook slightly. His lips moved down and he continued to kiss my skin lightly. The heat followed his lips and when he reached my velvety folds, he parted them and kissed the edges of my entrance. He moved his head up slowly and let his tongue move out and across the swelling mound before him. Heat splashed through me and I cried his name out.

He stood up quickly. ”Are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I? I normally just push power out at the girls, but I could not help myself ... I....”

”Come here,” I said, laughing slightly and putting my arms out to him. He moved over me and I opened my legs wide for him. ”Is it done?”

He laid his body against mine. ”Yes, you are protected.” I grabbed the back of his neck and brought his lips to mine, bringing the length of his c.o.c.k into me as well. I grunted and moaned away the pain of having something so long within me and felt the pleasure push through. Gregorios lifted his head from me and looked shocked more than anything. He froze. ”Oh ... err ... you feel so good, I do not think I can move....”

I put my lips over his and drowned away his worries with kisses. I pulled on his hips to get him going again. He was timid at first, but after a few swift pushes, he drove himself into me with a fire only a virgin could bring to the table. He was still incredibly sweet and tender with me, even though I knew that he didn't want to be. I held tight to his shoulders as he moved his hips and slid his hard member in and out of me.

As I lay there making animal noises and feeling my o.r.g.a.s.m build, I held Gregorios even closer to me, leaving him lying flat against me. His long body left me staring at his chest. He moved his arms out and propped himself up so that he wouldn't suffocate me.

When I found his green eyes looking directly at me, I knew that he would be the one that would fill the void in my heart that Kerr had left.

Gregorios' rhythm changed and I felt my like my entire body was being touched by tiny fingers. My magic answered his, and rose to the surface. It countered with a soft breeze that blew around us, and through us. I felt Gregorios reaching places inside me that were impossible for anyone to reach. I screamed out for him as I tightened around him. His throbbing shaft let loose the power it had been holding back, and for one brief s.h.i.+ning moment, our magic and our bodies merged into one ent.i.ty.

I lay under him shaking from my toes up. It was involuntary and each shake sent another wave of pleasure throughout my body.

He pulled out slowly, but didn't move away. He wrapped me in his arms and rolled onto the bed next to me. I snuggled into his body and traced the edges of his nipple.

”What did you think?” I asked, curious to see if his first time had been as joyous as mine had been.

He kissed the top of my head, and pulled me closer to him. ”I could not form a thought right now to save my life, Valerie.”

I laughed. ”That's good, right?”

”That is very good.”

Chapter 14.

”It's nice to be home.”

I took Gregorios' hand in mine and smiled. ”It is good, but I like it better when we're gone.”

He retied his ponytail and looked around at the waterfalls. ”I still can't get used to the time thing, Valerie, we were in South America for thirteen months, and before that we were in Germany for close to a year, but here, on Valhalla, we've only been gone a few days.”

”You get used to it. I've told you before that we can jump around any time from the past to the present, and while we could spend a hundred years there, only to come back to Valhalla to find that a few years has pa.s.sed-if that. I stopped trying to figure it out when I was a child. You should too, Gregory. It will only make your head hurt,” I said, laughing.

He winked at me and took the soul-decanter that held the souls of the men we'd recruited out. ”I should get these to Beau. He'll want to start getting them accustomed to their new surroundings as soon as possible.”

”You two seem to be getting along better now.”

”I've been at Valhalla for four years now, and if you factor in the time we've spent in other places, then I've been with you for close to a century. I think he's figured out that I'm not going anywhere.”

”Gregory?” He laughed a little at me as he smiled. The sun caught his blonde hair and made my breathing quicken. ”I love the fact that you decided to up and shorten my name, I guess it's fair, I totally changed yours.” He stopped talking and looked at me. ”What's wrong?”

”Are you happy here? I mean, do you ever regret coming with me?”

Gregory set the decanter down gently and came to me. ”I love you and I can't imagine my life without you in it.”

I pulled his hand around my waist and stood on my tiptoes to reach his mouth. ”Mmm.... ”he said as he pulled away slowly.

I reached my hand out and planted it on the front of his pants. He made another groan and tipped his head back. ”Val, I have to get these souls to Beau. Some have been trapped for months.”

I let out a sigh. ”I know, I know, and in my own defense, to them it's only been a matter of seconds since they agreed to come with us.”

”Are you saying they could wait a little longer then?” Gregory asked, looking back down at me.

I ran my fingers up his chest and let my hands slide to the sides of his neck. He purred softly as I traced the edges of his jaw. He had to lean down to reach me. I always felt bad about that, but Gregory never seemed to mind. His mouth touched mine and I was just about to slip my tongue in when I heard a loud cracking noise, and then something I'd never dreamed I'd hear-drums.

Growing up I'd heard tales of the drums beating to warn of danger approaching, but I'd never in my life heard them do it. I knew that Valhalla was enchanted, so did every demon, that's why we never had any problems, not until now that was.

Gregory looked around, unsure of what was going on. He glanced at me and I smiled up at him. If Valhalla was in danger then the waterfalls would be the way the enemy arrived. They were the only portals in and out of the Valhalla and I didn't want Gregory anywhere near them. I felt the temperature changing and the air pressure increasing. Something was on the verge of coming through and it was large-larger than anything I'd ever seen pa.s.s through them before.

”You'd better get those souls to Beau, he'll be needing them. I'll meet you back at the house in a little bit.”

”Val, what's going on with the drums? Did I miss something, is today a day for celebration?”

I smiled and wanted him to go, to run, but I didn't alert him. ”Yeah, Beau will fill you in on it, you should get going. The faster you get there, the faster you can meet me at home for a little celebration of our own.”

Gregory kissed the top of my head and took off in a fast run towards the training grounds. I exhaled a breath that I hadn't realized I'd been holding. This was serious and I couldn't risk Gregory. I'd lost Kerr being foolish and letting my guard down, and I wouldn't lose him too-I couldn't.

Chapter 15.

I bent down and retrieved my sword, and gun. I wasn't sure what was coming through the portal and I wasn't about to take any chances. I backed up and waited as the waterfalls faded away for a moment only to return to view with several demon brigades standing before them. I lost count around hundred and prepared myself to die fighting to defend Valhalla and all its inhabitants.

A line of the demons turned and looked in my direction. Some of them were obvious, and had horns or scales, some even had additional eyes, but others looked like normal men. I suspected that those were the vampires. They seemed to be the masterminds behind most of the demonic operations. I backed up a little to get a better stance before they starting swarming me, but stopped when I saw the thin pale face of the monster I'd had nightmares about for close to five years, Captain Corbin. His dark eyes locked on me and formed a grin so sinister that it made me shudder.”Bring her to me!” he shouted out.

The entire group of demons turned and looked at me. I couldn't take them all on with just my sword and gun. I concentrated hard on the earth below me. I let nature be my guide and I pulled at it with my magic. I begged it to come to me, to help me protect it.

After a second, I heard it answer. I heard the sound of whistling wind, and thunder. Corbin spun around and then back to me.

”Seize the witch now, before she can use anymore magic!”

I put my hands out to my side and let my palms face upward. I looked a little like a scarecrow near the edge of a cliff, but I didn't care. I just needed to feed off the power of the land and to direct my energy appropriately, and as far as I was concerned, Corbin was the one I was gunning for.

A pain ripped through my right shoulder. I screamed out and looked down to see an arrow sticking out of it. Two gray beasts hurdled towards me and I kicked out to keep them at bay. I tried to pull the arrow from my shoulder, but it wouldn't budge. I settled on snapping it off at the base of my skin and dropping down to avoid taking a demon to the head-which would, I'm sure, hurt like h.e.l.l.
