169 A perfect love story

He shrugged with her in his arms, "We are both demi-gods that heal by the sea. I figure it's worth a shot at least." He kissed the tip of her nose as he continued wading deeper into the ocean.

"But what if it heals all the way?" Jos asked, worry heavy in her voice as she glared at the water skeptically.

Arei sent her a wide smile, "That, Kitten, is why I'm going to enter you before we lower into the water." He pressed his lips to hers urging her lips apart with a tease of his tongue.

She pulled back slightly brows furrowed, more questions assaulting her mind. "If that's the case and this will make it stop hurting, why didn't we do this before?"

His brows arched with faux accusation, "Because my over eager, impatient kitten couldn't wait for starters... also the idea just occurred to me."

"Oh..." She murmured as her gaze moved back to the water. "What if it doesn't work?"

He paused, searching her expression. "If you've changed your mind and don't want to do this, you only need to say so." He lifted a hand from around her, supporting her weight in one muscled arm. Stroking back the strands of hair the breeze had blown into her face, he held her gaze. "I'm perfectly fine with what ever you want, Kitten. Honestly, I still believe it would have been better if we had waited until-"

She pressed her fingers to his lips. "I don't want to wait. I haven't changed my mind. I... I'm just..." Her hand lowered from his lips to the hard curve of a sculpted peck as she glanced away in embarrassment. "I'm only concerned my body won't be able to... accommodate your... um..." Her cheeks heated and she lowered her forehead to his shoulder, whispering the rest of what she had to say. "I don't want to disappoint you... if... it doesn't work, that is..."

A stab of pain hit deep within Arei's chest. He lifted her chin, forcing her to face him. "You could never disappoint me, ever. I could care less about the sex, whether we have it again right now or not again for a thousand years. It's not your body I fell in love with, it's your heart. As long as I know I have a place inside it, then I'll forever be the happiest man alive." He kissed her lips softly before resting his forehead against hers. He watched her brilliant eyes sparkle under the glow of the rising sun as they changed from skeptical to acceptance and finally lit with tender love. He smiled lovingly at her. "I love you."

She breathed out a content sigh, "I love you..."

"But?" He asked, arching his brow in faux disapproval as he fought against the smile that continued to curve his lips.

"But what if it doesn't work?!" She blurted in frustration.

He took advantage of the way her mouth dropped open in surprise and dove in for a passionate kiss. He balanced her on one thick forearm as he ran the other hand up her spine, causing a shiver to trail it. He tangled his hand in her hair, deepening their kisses. He didn't break them as he began walking through the waves again. As the water began to lap at his thighs, Arei rubbed her body against his hard length. He held her there teasing and stroking against her until all the rigidity had left her body. He untangled his hand from her hair and slid it down her side slowly causing more shivers to run through her as every synapses of her body became attuned to his touch. He slid his hand under the back side of her upper thigh finding her hot, wet center. He pressed the tip of one finger inside her, saturating it with the remnants of his spilt seed and her orgasm from just moments ago. Slickening her folds as he went, he worked his way up to her clit. He began rubbing it as he pressed his tip against her entrance bracing himself for resistance he knew he'd meet. He pressed slowly and carefully upwards into her wetness, swallowing her gasp with his heated kisses. She wiggled against his grip as his girth stretched her and the first metal bar slid in uncomfortably. "Almost there, Kitten... a little farther." He said reassuringly.

She groaned as she dug her fingers into his neck, gritting her teeth against the pain. "Ahhh! I don't understand, why does it still hurt?"

Arei paused, "We can stop if you want to... If it's too much this soon after-"

"No?!" She bit out as she tried pressing herself against him, not finding it any less painful.

He frowned as he held her still against him, "I was only going to say; if it's too soon after your first time." He searched her eyes as they met his, reading the silent questions there. "It will hurt less this time, but it will still hurt at first. Normally it would hurt for the first few times you make love... even with an average sized, unpierced... partner..." He filled in, not wanting to cause her any more embarrassment. "Fortunately for us, you are not average either. I'm relatively sure this will work. But seeing as water makes a poor lubricant, it will be better to do it this way."

Jos nodded. "I understand." She leaned forward and kissed his throat, then his squared chin, before finally reaching his full lips. "I'm sorry... but I do really want this... I'll try harder."

His frown deepened. "You don't have to try harder, Love. You're perfect just the way you are... and if it becomes too uncomfortable, we can always stop and try again later." He kissed her pouting lips. "I will always treasure this gift you've given me, but I want you to enjoy what we are sharing as well. I don't want you to force yourself and cause yourself unnecessary pain."

She nodded again this time resting her head against his shoulder. "I still want to continue..." She whispered.

He only held her for the longest time, before finally nodding. "Alright... How do you want me? How will it make it easier for you?"

She thought it over before shrugging. "Can't... can't you just do it like before? All at once?"

He nodded, "Yes, but it could cause even more pain and bleeding."

She frowned; her face still buried against his neck. "But you said it would heal and then it will feel good after, right."

Arei let out a heavy sigh. "Alright." He removed his hand from between her legs and gripped her hips tightly, squeezing her to him as much as he could. "I'm still not going to just slam it in. I'll... figure something out..." Gripping her hips even tighter, Arei thrust upward. He could feel her wince against his chest and knew her body was still sore from earlier. He held his breath in anticipation as he bent his knees. In one fluent move he lunged upward and dropped backwards into the water.

Jos let out a gasp as brief pain filled her lower body, but nearly just as fast began to fade. She let out a long sigh of relief as the waters began washing over her body cooling the burning sting between her legs. She risked a glance up at him as she continued to cling to his neck.

He smiled warmly down at her. "Does it feel better now?" He asked tentatively.

Jos nodded and wiggled her hips against his, testing the feel. When she met little pain, she nodded again and smiled widely up at him. "It still feels like I'm being over filled... and I can still feel the press of metal in there... but it doesn't... hurt exactly..." She continued to shift and wiggle against him as she tested the new sensations.

Arei chuckled as he stroked his massive hands over her body letting her adjust and explore however she wanted. "I'm glad to hear that. Please, be my guest." His lips parted into a wide mischievous grin revealing beautifully straight white teeth. "Do with me as you like." He whispered seductively as he leaned forward to kiss her lips. When she stopped her curious movements to focus on their lips against one another's, he began to move. He used slow rolling strokes, taking his time making sure the waters had completely healed her. "How does this feel? It's not hurting still?"

Jos shook her head, pressed her forehead against his shoulder as pleasure began unraveling inside her. "It... feels... good... so good..." She said on breathy pants.

With the reassurance of her heated moans and fervent sighs, he sped up the strokes pulling out farther and pressing back in deeper. The feel of her tight center gripping his cock was driving him wild with desire and an urgency he'd not experience in a very long time. He'd never wanted anything more than he wanted her that very second, watching her head fall back and her lips part in passion filled moans as her hands gripped his neck tightly and her core began to squeeze. "That's it, Kitten. Cum for me." He picked up the tempo more, thrusting with his own building need for release.

Jos couldn't hold back any longer. The many bars that ran the length of his shaft that was buried deep inside her, now massaged her tightening walls causing them to contract more with every pressured brush. The daunting bar at the head of his cock that had cause so much discomfort earlier was now pressing against an extra sensitive spot inside her with each rapid upward thrust. The combination of the sensations the piercings were creating was overwhelming. She couldn't hold back a loud hoarse cry as the build of sensations and emotions exploded within her and demanded release.

"Yes, Kitten, yes! Just like that." He wrapped one long arm around her pressing his palm against the top of her ass bringing her body down to meet each of his thrusts, allowing his cock even deeper access. He tangled his other hand in her hair again, bringing her gasping mouth to his. His lips moved over hers with a new hunger. He nipped, licked, stroked his tongue into her mouth as the fever of release built inside him. He couldn't hold back anymore as her body tightened around him, squeezing his cock almost painfully. He exploded inside her, filling her with his seed once again. He clamped her tightly against him as his own breaths came out ragged. He smiled as his eyes focused on the sky's around them. He loosened his grip on the back of her head. "Look up, Kitten." He waited for her to turn her tired head against his shoulder enough to follow his gaze. "Beautiful isn't it?"

Jos's tired, swollen lips turned up in a weak smile as the brilliant golden orb rose over the horizon of the sea sending a beautiful cascade of various shades of pink, orange, crimson, and purple through the skies lighting the darkness that had been there only moments before. "It is beautiful." She whispered against his neck before placing a light kiss there.

He smiled down at her in amusement. She lived up to her nickname perfectly, feisty and playful almost always but exhausting so easily. He chuckled as she curled into a ball against is chest, her hands sliding away from his neck as if holding them there was draining her of what little energy she had left. Her fingers traced the outline of one nipple ring as her tired eyes focused on the sunrise. They floated there in silence until the sun had completely rose and the beautiful streaks of colors had faded. He kissed the top of her head lightly letting his lips linger there. "Ready to go back inside?"

She nodded sleepily against him. "Yes, please." She murmured.

He pressed another kiss to her head before shifting her in his arms and standing. He carefully carried her out of the water and across the sands, into the quaint cottage. He gently set her down on the bed wrapping the thick cover over her damp body and walked over to the fire.

She watched the flex of his bear cheeks as he walked then bent by the hearth, tossing some logs into it and starting a fire. Her eyes trailed the length of his body with a new appreciation as he strolled leisurely back toward the bed. Her cheeks flushed as she tried to fight a yawn and lost.

Arei bent over the bed, placing one hand on either side of her hips. A loving smile spread across his lips. "Lay back and get some rest, Love."

She tilted her head. "Won't you join me?"

He searched her troubled eyes for a few minutes. He'd planned on going back to the Inn and forcing Ry to come back with him but seeing the fear and worry in her eyes he couldn't refuse her. He let out a low growl. "Umm... How could I ever say no to you."

Her features brightened and she turned and scooted to the top of the bed. Moving to the far side, she pulled down the covers and patted the mattress beside her.

He chuckled and followed her silent demand. Once he was laying, she scooted down into the bed facing him. He held out his arms, and she quickly wiggled into them. He couldn't help the pleased smile that spread across his face as his kitten fell asleep in his arms.
