Dianthe Rising (11 page)

Oh God, he brought me flowers
. I opened the door, and peeked around the chain smiling up into my friendly giant's face.

“Hiya there, hold on for two seconds,” I said before shutting the door and releasing the chain. A deep breath and I was opening the door back up. I stepped back to let him into the flat.

He looked only slightly less nervous than I was when he held out the bouquet of flowers to me.

“I hope you like them. I didn’t ask Annie, this was all me.” He gave me a boyish grin as I took them from him before bringing them to my nose and inhaling their heady fragrance.

“They’re beautiful. I love lavender and roses, thank you. Let me go put these in some water. Would you like a cuppa before we go?”

“Yeah, that would be great,” he ducked his head shyly.

I walked over to my counter and pulled out a vase my mum bought me, from under the sink. “These are really lovely, Daniel, thank you so much. I don’t believe anyone has ever brought me flowers before,” I babbled nervously as I put them in the water. When I turned around I found myself face to chest with my date.

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize you were behind me,” I faltered as he lifted my face up with his forefinger to stare at me.

“No problem, sweetheart,” he whispered. “You know, I believe you were right.”

“What about,” I managed to get out of my suddenly non-functional mouth.

“It is only going to take a tiny pebble to bring down the mighty Goliath." He leaned down and kissed me for the first time. His arms curled around me and pulled me up into his embrace as his lips slanted across mine. With a gasp, I felt his tongue slip through my lips and wrap around mine. He took control of the kiss as every ounce of reason left my body and I melted into him.

Oh dear Lord, this is what they were all talking about
.
I did not know what I had been missing.
That was the last thought I had before my brain shut down.

His hands slid down and cupped my ass, bringing me closer against him. I knew when my legs parted as his thigh slid between them supporting my weight. My arms wrapped about his neck and fingers ran through his short dark hair. Every strand was like a silken caress against my overly sensitive flesh. My hands tightened on his head as I pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. He pulled me forward onto his leg so I was riding his thigh. The roughness of his jeans against my panties was the only barrier between us. I felt myself getting damp and all I wanted to do was moan and rub myself harder against him.

With a shuddering breath, he drew back and looked down at me. “Ah God, Dia, you feel so damn good in my arms. I want to take you to bed right now and love you for the rest of the day.” Shaking his head, he slid me down his body until I stood mostly on my own two feet. Thankfully, his hands were still at my waist steadying me.

Completely dazed, I looked at him. My lips swelled from his kisses and all I could contemplate was that I wanted more.

“Sweetheart, don’t stare at me like that. I am trying to be the gentleman my mum raised me to be. As badly as I want to lay you out for my own personal buffet, I respect you more than that. I swear, Dia, this isn’t a pick up line. I'm more drawn and attracted to you than I have ever been with any woman in my life."

He ran his hands through his hair as he stepped back slightly from me.

“Since Wednesday night, all I thought about was seeing you again. I have fantasized so many times about touching you.” Taking another step back from me, he took a deep breath. “Are you all right with this, between us?”

Unable to find my voice, I nodded my head and took a step forward. I placed a palm across his chest and glanced up at him.

“Danny,” I whispered shyly. “I feel the same. I…um, have never fallen into bed with anyone. However, I really sense I might with you. There is a spark between us and I’m pretty sure it will turn into a raging inferno if given the chance. You could probably have had me here and now, but you took the step back and I appreciate that. It makes me like and trust you that much more.”

My lungs drew in a deep breath and I looked at him with wistful eyes. “There’s a lot going on here that I don’t really get. This attraction is huge and fast and I honestly don’t know how to handle it. What do you say we get out of here? Have a fun day out together and see where it goes from there?”

He nodded his head at me and he smiled wryly. “Yeah, I think that’s a great idea.”

Daniel took hold of my hand and led me toward the door, pausing so I might grab my coat and bag before we left. We took the underground to the museum and talked about trivial everyday things on the way.

The museum was full of people as it was every Saturday. There were loads of families with young children. It was loud and exciting, with a few tears and tantrums thrown in for good measure. I loved it. It showed how human we were. That even after centuries of evolution, that as a species, we never really changed. Hand in hand, we walked through the exhibits looking seriously at some and laughing at others.

Afterwards, he took me to a beautiful little restaurant that served traditional French foods. It was only about a fifteen minute walk from the museum on Kings Street. There were open fires that reflected back at us from the glass ceiling overhead. Bowers of living trees were budding with spring. It honestly took my breath away. The more time I spent with Daniel, the deeper I fell. This day had been the most fun I had experienced in years and the evening…well, I wanted to hope it would only get better. We had several glasses of wine with our meal as we softly spoke and laughed together. Toward the end, when we were finishing dessert, Daniel looked at me and asked,

“Where to next, My Lady, I promised you a movie and I’m at your command. What would you like to go see for your viewing pleasure?” He meant it to be silly, but looking at his face, and the raw passion in his eyes, I knew I would never make it through a movie.

Toying with the rim of my wine glass, I decided ‘to hell with it’. “How do you feel about going back to my flat and watching a film there? I believe I have had enough of the public for the day. I really would like a little time to relax with you.” I watched from beneath my lashes as his eyes widened slightly and a smile broadened his lips.

“Are you sure? I mean, I’m happy with that. We can watch a chick flick and paint each other’s nails if you want,” he replied saucily.

The hand over my mouth tried to hold back laughter. But I failed miserably and snorted even with my hand covering my mouth. After a few gasps to catch my breath, I rolled my eyes. “Let’s go and see what color would look best on you.”

He quickly called the waiter over and grabbed the check. We left to make our way back to the flat.

Chapter Ten

I was nervous when I went to unlock my door. With Daniel’s hand at my back and his warm masculine scent surrounding me, I hurried us into the flat. I leaned back against the door once he was past me. The sound of the lock clicking sounded so loud in the room.

“Thank you,” I whispered. “You definitely scored points for being a great date.”

“Really?” He leaned into me. “What kind of points did I score and is there a reward system?”

“Oh yeah,” I breathed. “You have absolutely won a reward.” With my right hand I reached up and grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him down to me, kissing him for all that I was worth. “Mmmm,” I licked his lips before opening my mouth for his tongue to enter. The tart flavor of our wine and sweetness of the cheesecake we had for dessert filled my mouth as we kissed.

Daniel pulled back for a moment before he looked down at me and hoarsely said, “Are you sure, Dia?”

“Oh God, yes!” I cried. "I was sure before we left the first time."

“Good enough for me,” he growled before lifting me up and carrying me across the room to my bed.

Robin…

Time and space folded to take me along the paths. I smiled to myself as I stepped through the mists into Dianthe’s tiny home. Exhilaration swept over me at the prospect of teaching her the pathways. It had been millennia since I had experienced such passion for anything. I could not wait to see my world through her newborn eyes. Glamour wrapped itself around me as I stood back to watch the couple making their way to the bed.

Well, well
.
What naughty deliciousness do we have here?
I was not expecting our little flower to be getting quite so earthy this soon. Her nature must be asserting itself with her developing maturity.

With one hand, I rubbed my chin while I watched the male pulling the sheer material of Dianthe’s blouse from her body. I pondered as I studied the situation. What should I do? Stop their play in its tracks or possibly join in? Maybe even play a few harmless games. Never being one to resist a trick of mischief, I made my way to the bed. Kneeling down, I settled beside the two people lost in each other.

Dia…

Daniel slowly peeled my clothes away as I arched up against him. I gasped for breath as his lips closed around the hardened nipple covered by the camisole.

I reached up desperate to get his shirt off so I could run my hands over his chest and arms.

"Too many clothes," I panted.

Daniel grinned ferociously while he sat back and ripped his shirt over his head before unbuttoning his jeans. He kicked off his shoes and socks before he stood and worked the denim over his hips.

My eyes widened as more and more flesh exposed itself to my view. I closed them tightly right before he pulled the material past his hips. He chuckled at my antics. The sound sent shivers all the way to my core.

A moment later, sweet scented breath rolled across my neck and my hand rose to caress the spot. A phantom touch feathered across my belly. I opened my eyes to see Daniel kneeling on the bed in front of me naked and very, very aroused. A fleeting thought about where the mysterious sensations had come from flittered away as he reached for me.

“Beautiful,” he murmured. "But overdressed."

He grabbed the bottom of my camisole before he slid it upwards. He leaned me back and nibbled his way up my quivering stomach. His stinging kisses ended just beneath my breasts.

Daniel slipped his hands underneath the top to cup my bare flesh. His large fingers began to tighten around my nipples until he was rolling them between his thumbs and forefingers. What seemed like a tongue flitted across the tip of one nipple. I frowned in confusion for a moment as I wondered where the sensation was coming from. I forgot the sensation as Daniel pinched the same tip hard before he released it and pulled the top completely off.

“Perfect,” he sighed as he bent his head and engulfed half of my breast into his mouth. His cheeks hollowed as he began to suckle at me and I arched up in pure agonized pleasure. I’d definitely never experienced anything like this before.

One hand left my breast and ran down my ribcage to land on my hip. He squeezed my waist lightly before gliding below the band of my skirt and dipping his fingers under the line of my pants. I was suddenly very glad I had listened to Annie’s choice in underwear.

A groan rumbled from Daniel as my nipple popped from his mouth. He began to kiss his way down my body to just below my navel. Moving both hands to the band of my skirt he hooked his fingers in to the material and started to peel it down. I raised my hips to help him and a chill skittered across my flesh causing my nipples to harden further. I heard Daniel’s breath catch as he pulled the skirt and panties from my body and dropped them on the floor. A groan followed the action, which sounded almost like it echoed in the room.

“Damn,” he moaned into my hip. He took one finger and ran it over my mons causing goose flesh to rise over my body.

“Fuck, baby, you’re bare.”

“Yeah," I grinned. "Annie and I go and get waxed every few weeks.”

Grimacing, he buried his face into the crease of my thigh and I wiggled from the ticklish sensation.

“Ooops,” I giggled. “Probably not the best image to bring up during sex, is it?”

“You getting this sexy pussy waxed? Oh yeah. Annie, not so much. But I’m starving for a sip of this sweet little cunny, so open up, sweetheart.”

His shoulders worked their way between my thighs as he spread me wide while sliding both hands underneath me. Daniel grasped my ass, lifting me up to his face and lightly blew a warm breath across my clit.

“Oh my God,” I moaned. My hips thrust up trying to get closer to him. I had to close my eyes when his tongue reached out to lick up my slit. I just gave up when the dam of his control seemed to break and he dove in and started to devour me.

Robin…

This is harder than I thought
, I mused as I hovered between the two bodies writhing beside me. My need to tease became dwarfed by my need for Dianthe and strangely enough, a sample of the human male. The Puck made me think I'd be able to tease the two lovers and cause a bit of trouble. However, when the male stripped Dianthe’s body of her clothing, I was lost. Lust roared to life in this ancient Fae and demanded satiation.

Would her human morals forgive me if I joined them? I could glamour them both, then insert myself into their play. I made the decision to improvise. I leaned forward and laid a gentle compulsion. It would cause them not to be alarmed by anything out of the ordinary. Well, out of the ordinary for me that is.

Dia…

The sensation of Daniel’s mouth suckling my clit and his fingers circling the entrance to my vagina was nearly more than I could bear. It was almost as if a haze had come over me. The touch of hands and mouth on my breasts became my undoing. I cried out and arched harder into Danny’s mouth, screaming in ecstasy as my first orgasm rolled through me.

Hands roamed my body as Daniel spread me open before stabbing his tongue deep into my weeping pussy. Oh dear Lord, I did not know how much more of this I could handle. I was soaking wet, but when I felt his fingers rubbing my clit as he fucked me with his tongue it was just too much and my body clenched around him once more.
