Legion [Book II]

Elder Bedivere

"I missed you too." Addeline said breathlessly after Luka released her. The words conflicted her, mainly at the realization that she actually did mean them. 

"I see you have a tattoo." Addeline traced the lines of the words written on his chest. Luka inhaled deeply. 

"Do you like it..I've always wanted one?"

"I love it, the Addams Family Credo is one of my favorites." That made him downright giddy. He loved the fact that he had done something that pleased her so much.

"So...are you ready to tell me something I don't know about you?" Luka kissed the side of her mouth in response. His thoughts on much more pressing issues. "We can talk after."  Addeline c****d her head to the side. "After what?" She could feel him toying with the hem at the bottom of her shirt. Luka's fingers sent electricity through her as he went under the thin fabric, taking his time to touch every inch of her flesh. His hands settling once they reached the top folds of her bra. He drew circles over the exposed area, occasionally slipping his finger inside to flick her n****e. With her senses heightened, Addeline arched her back, a signal inviting Luka to continue. 

There was something about Addeline, something that allowed him to be who he really was. Perhaps it was the fact that she indeed was nothing more than just his imagination, or perhaps it was the fact that he just really wanted to see the fire dance in her eyes as he dominated her. Whatever the case, tonight he would show her a side of him that extended far more than just deadlines, and controlled statements. Luka lifted her top, exposing her full breast. He carefully placed one n****e in his mouth at a time, giving each his absolute attention. Soft moans escaped her throat, threatening to send him into frenzy. He wanted more, he needed her hear her scream.

Luka gently licked down from her breast to her navel, taking great pain to tease her with the anticipation of what was to come. Addeline propped herself up to look at him. "LAY BACK." He demanded. Anyone else barking demands at her would suffer the consequences, but hearing it from Luka caused a shiver to reside in her wetness. Aside from their first encounter, Luka had pretty much allowed her to have her way with him. It often left her wondering if maybe she'd imagined that darker energy she felt inside of him, but in this moment, she knew, she'd seen it.  Luka smirked at her before undoing the button on her jeans. In one swift motion, he'd managed to maneuver them completely off her. Addeline wasn't use to being out of control sexually, and it would have been a lie to say giving him the reigns didn't make her nervous. Her thoughts were interrupted by Luka biting on her c******s.

"Shitt." She hissed out, her head dropping back onto the pillow. Luka alternated from sucking and drawing circles, the change in tempos, causing a rush straight to her center. "I'll never get over how delicious you taste Pele." Luka's voice was husky, he rolled his tongue against her, while simultaneously inserting two fingers. He felt her begin to shake. She gripped his head, pushing him deeper inside of her.

"I'm...I'm going to-" Addeline never finished her sentence. Her body convulsed, and her eyes darkened, as her orgasm rode through her. After a few seconds, Luka laid beside her, his pride stretched across his face. 

"Don't get cocky." She teased. Luka propped himself up and faced her. "Never." He smiled a big beautiful smile at her, and Addeline felt herself smile back. How could someone have so many sides to them? How could she be falling for every single one? 

"Are you ever going to tell me what Pele means?" Luka shook his head no defiantly, causing her to roll her eyes. "Well will you at least tell me about your baby blues? I mean I'm sure I'm not the first to ask." Luka got comfortable and pulled Addeline into his arms. 

"My father has heterochromia...two different eye colors, one brown and one bright blue..I guess I got the two bright blues." Addeline looked at the storm brewing in his eyes. "Little black kid with bright blue eyes made for a lot to teasing growing up, especially when your dads not around. People make you out to be a liar." The thought of Luka being teased made her blood boil. Poor kid was already going through so much, being bullied was like adding salt into the wounds. "'Hey...don't worry, I'm okay beautiful." He said stroking her hair. "What happened to your dad?' Luka seemed to perk up at the question.

"He was a  traveling musician. It was always his dream to sing blues. He traveled the whole world, playing and living that dream, but he always came back and bought with him stories and gifts for me."

"Did..did he know about..." Addeline's words tapered off. He'd seemed so happy talking about his dad, and she really didn't want to ruin it.

 "Not at first..I didn't want to tell him, but her found out on his own. He'd surprised my mother and I with a visit, and saw some of my bruises. She tried to deny it, but my father, though uneducated formally, was a really smart man. He took me from her that day, and we never looked back. Settled down, built a life for us, and gave me as much love as he could. He still calls often, and I visit him and my stepmom during holidays."

"Then how come you're still so.." Addeline made a motion with her hands and Luka laughed.

"Stuffy? I mean, I guess even with all the good that's happened..you still kinda always hold onto the bad. My dad told me he loved me everyday, and yet the only thing that seemed to resonate was my moms hatred." She understood that more than anyone. Her family and friends believed in her and constantly told her so, yet the negative thoughts still remained. Though she was training and working harder, Addeline couldn't help but still listen to the doubt and whispers from people in the kingdom.

"My parents are both like your dad. Super loving of me and my brother and of one another." She wanted to change the subject. "Even after all this time, my dad still looks at my mom with google eyes."

"What does your mom look like?"

"According to everyone, like me." She laughed.

"Well then I can see why your dad is so sprung on her, especially if her personality matches yours as well." His blue eyes were swimming, and Addeline felt her cheeks redden. Luka leaned in to kiss her. It was gentle and soft, and it filled her with electricity. 

"You're going to wake soon...I should go." Luka could sense her sadness.

"Wha-how do you know that?"

"Because she's about to wake you." 

"Hu-" The room began to shake. Luka reached out for Addeline who hazel eyes softened. He couldn't grab her, she was disappearing and he started to panic. "Pele!" He shouted, but she didn't respond.

"Good morning baby." Luka could feel someone kissing on his chest. "Never took you for a tattoo guy, but at least you put it somewhere people can't see." Shelly's long nails scraped over his fresh tattoo causing Luka to wince. When had she gotten here? He specifically remembered going to bed alone.

"Last night was amazing." Shelly cooed, her surgically enhanced lips causing the words to draw more than they needed to. "What are you talking about?" Shelly laid her head on his chest, and Luka willed himself not to move away. Her being this close never bothered him before, but her laying in the spot Addeline once was, pissed him off. 

She's not f*****g real you weirdo

He cursed to himself internally. It was something he knew he needed to accept, but with every dream, every touch, it made it harder and harder. "Last night...I never knew you could do those types of things with your tongue." Shelly continued to yammer on. "And Pele? I love the new nickname."  Fear washed through him as he processed what Shelly was saying. Last night, he'd done those things with Addeline in his sleep. Addeline was his Pele, not Shelly. What the f**k was going on?

"You talk a lot in your sleep too. It's weird...l kept trying to answer you, but it was like you were having a conversation with someone else." Luka stiffened. He didn't want to hear anymore. First the red lips now this..what was happening to him?

*In the light realm*

Elder Bedivere sat at his desk deep in thought. He was tired, his tasks becoming harder and harder to manage. "You alright Elder B?" His eyes smiled as he saw Rumy enter his office. Her cheery disposition had become one he looked forward to seeing as the days grew longer.

"Of course my child..come on in." Rumy all but skipped over to the him as she joined his side. Since the passing of her mother, Miccoli had suggested that the Elder take her under his wing. At first, both were completely against it, her hesitation in the fact that he intimidated her, and his in that he preferred his solace, but Miccoli continued to push the subject. Though he didn't tell either of them, he knew that they both were dealing with their own grief and loneliness, and hoped they could be of comfort to one another.

"Tell me child, are you happy here in the Light Realm?" Rumy squealed with glee. "I love it here Elder B...I know I belong in the Dark Realm, but I don't know, this place just kind of feels like home." Elder Bedivere processed her statement. "We belong in the place in which makes us the happiness." His heart warmed at her reaction. He was glad that she enjoyed living here with him. 

"Addeline has been super busy with training and other things, she has so much going for her...I guess it's nice to have something going for myself too." Rumy was happy for her best friend, she cheered for her in public and private, defended her against those who went against her,  still it would be a lie if she was to say she wasn't a little bit envious at the fact that Addeline had a purpose and she didn't. "I going to go talk to the fairies, we're working on how to get more plants to grow in the moors." In a flash she was gone. Elder Bedivere stared at the door before looking to the ceiling. His thoughts were on Elder Helm, he missed him so much it hurt. His purple eyes glistened.

"It's almost all over...and soon...I'll be with you brother." Elder Bedivere was tired, his task becoming harder and harder to manage. He had one more thing to see through before he could leave, and no matter what, he was determined to be here until the end.
