Temporary Goddess

Why Is She Coming?

Cairyn’s P.O.V.

                Oh….My….God….

                Did Jacek just admit to being in love with me? But, I could be taking that out of context and he was explaining it hypothetically. I don’t know though. On one hand, he literally just said ‘he could never tell me that he was in love with me’, on the other it could have been a hypothetical conversation they were having. I’m not going to embarrass myself by saying it first. That would be…let’s just not.

                So, I acted as if I didn’t hear that come from his mouth. I walked right over and plopped down in his lap. “Are you two in here talking s**t about us?”

                Gwyneth slowly walked to Hexic, unsure about what was going to happen next. “I have a feeling they were. Our guys were gossiping about us.”

                “No! We weren’t. Jacek was just explaining some things to me that I didn’t understand. That’s it. No gossiping.” Hexic covered quickly.

                While him and Gwyneth went back and forth teasingly, my eyes were locked with Jacek’s hazel. Neither of us spoke, but I felt like I could hear what he was saying to me. The look in his eyes were serious, troubled, and dazed. It was like he was trying to find something to say to me, anything that could back peddle what he said to Hexic, but what he didn’t realize was that I didn’t care. I needed to show that to him, or he was going to put up a wall between us again.

                “I didn’t hear anything you said with Hexic, remember, I have human hearing. Now, you have two options. Either shove me off your lap and we can go back to being what we were before. Or kiss me. Right here. Whatever you chose, I’ll still be with you.” I whispered into his ear so low I knew he was the only one who heard me.

                I was shocked to say the least. I figured he was going to take a minute to think about what I said. Processing my lie, think about what we were doing together.

                NOPE.

                I nearly cried out when he yanked my head back by my hair and roughly encased my lips with his. Turning so he could cradle my body against his as our tongue fought for control. My entire body shook with the emotions that flooded me. I honest to god forgot that Hexic and Gwyneth were only a few feet from us. I let a little moan slip against his mouth, causing his whole body to stiffen. His hands gripped me so tight I knew he was going to leave bruises, but I didn’t care. It was what I liked about him, I wouldn’t have him acting any other way. His roughness was addicting, and I craved it like a crack head. With no breath left in my lungs we pulled back. His eyes moved from my face, to my lips, then down my neck. I shook a little as gazed at a spot on my throat like it was seducing him. Knowing what was happening, I held out my wrist again. His eyes adverted to his healing marks and quickly left another fresh one. After a moment of him thinking, and me practically cuming in my panties, he withdrew to run his tongue across the wound to heal it a little.

                When his eyes finally came back to mine I smirked and he rolled his eyes teasingly.

                “Why does it feel like we just watched them have s*x in front of us?”

                All of us looked over to see a groggy Casey coming into the room.

                “Hey, Casey.” I said with a smile, completely disregarding his comment.

                “It’s good to see your finally awake.” Gwyneth said as she shook her head at him. “And you know, we just looked away.”

                “No, you didn’t.” Hexic admitted with a raised eyebrow.

                Gwyneth shot him a look. “Seriously? Hush!”

                I giggled. “No, it’s our fault. We kind of got caught up with what we were doing.”

                Casey laughed a little. “We could see that. It’s good to see that you two are finally together. It took you long enough.”

                I rolled my eyes at him. “It’s only been like a week, Casey.”

                “Really?” He thought for a moment. “Oh, well, it seems like it’s been forever.”

                “Ridiculous.” I said leaned back completely to relax into Jacek. “What are we doing today?”

                Gwyneth shrugged. “How about we go to the lake? My parents have a house on the lake we can stay the night in.”

                “I’m in!” Casey shouted when he was done chugging his water bottle.

                Hexic nodded. “I’ll ask if I can go.”

                “Cairyn? Do you think your mom will let you go and stay the night?” Gwyneth asked with hope in her eyes.

                I shrugged. “I don’t see why not. She is pretty lenient as long as I come home in one piece.”

                “What about you, Jacek?” Casey asked, hopping up on the counter.

                He shrugged like I had done. “I’ll go if Cai goes.”

                “Alrighty then, everyone needs to go get permission if needed and clothes! We’re going to have so much fun tonight. Bring at least two changes of clothes, and you bathing suits. Meet at my house when you’re ready.” Gwyneth said before leaning in to kiss Hexic on the lips. “See you then.”

                With that she was gone, and Casey busted out laughing. “I thought you were messing with me last night, Jacek. I guess you were right.”

                Hexic swallowed hard and looked over to Casey. “You’re not mad, are you?”

                “Hell no, bro. I’m happy you found a girl. No bad feelings from me, I swear. Just be good to her.” Casey said sweetly.

                I slid off Jacek’s lap to stretch. “Well, we’ll leave you two and head back so I can grab my stuff. See you at, Gwyn’s.”

                “Bye, Cairyn. Bye, Jacek.” Hexic said as he turned to give his full attention to Casey.

                We stopped at a Valmart so Jacek could get swimming trunks and clothes. Neither wanted him to go home and risking being drenched in my scent around his father. When we were done we went back to my house and tried to get in and out without my mother noticing, but that didn’t happen.

                “Hey, you two! Come back here.”

                I groaned before moving into the living room. Cleo was sitting neatly in a chair and reading a book, while Channah was fixing herself after being sprawled out on the couch. I stifled a laugh as she shot Jacek a wink, something my mother didn’t see.

                “What are you two doing?” Cleo asked, setting her book over her lap to keep its page.

                I kept my warm smile, hoping my mother was going to let me go without much protest. “Gwyneth invited us to spend the night at her parent’s lake house. Is it okay if me and Jacek go? We’ll be back sometime in the morning or afternoon.”

                Cleo nodded thinking long for a minute. “Sure you can go.”

                “Thank you, mom. We’ll be-“

                “You’ll be taking Channah with you.” My mother interrupted.

                I stood dumbfounded for a moment, at least until Jacek bumped my arm with his. “What?”

                He sighed at me and gestured to my mother with his head. You should probably answer her, dolcezza.

                “Mom, as much as I would like too, Jacek drives a motorcycle. I don’t think we can safely ride with her on the back. Plus, I don’t think Channah wants to hang out with me and my friends. The entire school thinks were the outcasts.” I said trying to convince both of them that this was a s**t idea.

                Channah smiled big, still eyeing Jacek. “I would love to hang out with you and your friends, cousin. I think I will get along with them.”

                “As for the whole ride thing, you can ride with Jacek, and Channah can follow behind you two in her car. Please, Cairyn?” My mother was giving me a puppy dog look, and I hated it.

                I glanced over to Jacek and wished he could hear my thoughts. “Fine. But if Gwyneth doesn’t want you to stay the night, then you’re going to have to come back here. It’s her house, not mine.”

                Channah shot to her feet. “I’ll go get my stuff together now.”

                When she left the room, I glanced to my mother. “Her stuff?”

                Cleo looked like a child caught with a cookie they were told they couldn’t have. “She’s going to be staying with us for just a little while. Her mother will be back in about two months to get her. Please, work with me until then, babe.”

                I nodded. “Fine, mom. But if she keeps making passes at Jacek then she is going to get a rude awakening. I’m just warning you before it happens. Oh, and I know you have my abilities. I want them back soon. Think about it, please. I would be better defended in my school if I wasn’t the only human. We’re going to go up and get my stuff together.”

                With that I went to go up the stairs, not seeing the look Jacek and Cleo shared. “Sweetheart, go up and get your stuff. I need to have a word with Jacek.”

                I went to protest, but after a quick kiss from him. I left.

                Third P.O.V.

                Cleo’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the ever-calm Jacek. “Why does my daughter think she had abilities? I figure you have something to do about this?”

                Jacek shook his head. “All I told her is that it is biologically impossible for her to have Immortal or Demi God parents and then have no abilities. Cai came up with the idea that you took them from her. She thinks it’s in some jewelry you wear.”

                “Can you sense it in her? That she isn’t a human?” Cleo asked, setting the book on her lap on the side table.

                He shook his head. “Not at first. The first time I kissed her though, I could taste it on her. It’s there in her body, even if you took it from her. Cai’s body knows it’s different.”

                She raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

                “I don’t think you wanna know, ma’am.” Jacek said as he let out a slow breath.

                Cleo shrugged. “Tell me.”

                He sighed. “Last night when I took her virginity I was trying to be gentle to not hurt her, but Cai is…Cai. And before I knew it I wasn’t trying to be gentle anymore, and neither was she. The way we had s*x last night would have severely damaged a human female, but she was fine. Then there was the other day, she was grabbed by the throat and yet there wasn’t a mark on her. Or the incident where an Immortal literally used his ability on her and dematerialized her atoms, she should have died instantly, but it took a few minutes for her body to start to react. Cai is a smart girl, and you already gave yourself up. Knowing what a ‘mark’ is, how you unlocked her door, saying being with a Lyle is a curse. Your daughter is in danger ever second of the day at school. If you don’t mind me saying, I don’t understand why you would send her to Black Water without her abilities. Your daughter will start pulling away from you, Cleopatra.”

                At that she stiffened. “How…how did you know?”

                Jacek shrugged. “I’m a Lyle, and my father is still in love with you after all these years. Tells me all the time, if he didn’t knock up my mother that he would have had a chance with you. Blames my existence for you two not being together.”

                Cleo sighed heavily. “Let me tell her. Please, Jacek. We’re going to have to teach her how to control them. Her father will be aware of her existence the moment she gets them back. That’s why I took them away. To keep him away from her. I’m afraid of him. And I’m really sorry about your father. That’s why your always welcome here. Even though your sleeping with my precious baby.”

                “Believe me when I say, I won’t let anything happen to Cai, ever. I don’t care the cost. I will make sure she is forever happy and safe.”
