Gods damn it! Not now, Alaric! I nearly killed one of my husbands!
But—
Huitzilopochtli started to shake as if he were having a seizure, and I pushed away Alaric's whining and focused on my husband.
“Hold on, honey,” I said to Huitzilopochtli—Blue; that's what I called him. “I'm here, Blue; I've got you. It'll be over soon, and then you'll feel so much better. Trust me; we've been here before.” I brushed his sleek, thick hair away from his face as he went still. “Blue? Are you all right?”
Huitzilopochtli opened his eyes and stared up at me in wonder. I was so lost in that intense stare that it took me a moment to realize that it was green. His eyes had changed from blood red to jade green.
“Beautiful,” I whispered as I stroked his cheek.
“Little witch?” Blue asked softly as he lifted a hand to my face. “I think I know you.”
“You do; we were together once,” I said with a smile. “I think I may love you.”
“Iknowthat I love you,” Blue said with sudden passion as he sat up and pulled me against his chest. “I can feel you inside me. I want to be inside you as well.”
Blue's mouth covered mine, and I moaned into the tenderness of his kiss. His fingers threaded through my hair as he eased me onto his lap, and I wrapped my legs around his waist; holding him to me even tighter. Huitzilopochtli pushed me back onto the floor and settled over me. We ground against each other through our clothing as his mouth moved down my neck to lick the trails of blood there, and his hands tore my dress open. I moaned as Huitzilopochtli yanked down my bra and flicked his hot tongue over my nipples.
Guilt shot through me as I thought of Re, but then I remembered what Alaric had said; how my reaction to my husbands would be even more powerful. That confirmed it for me; Blue must be one of my husbands, and that made this okay, right? I was reuniting with my husband; hopefully, Re would understand.
I could hear Alaric saying something in the back of my mind, but I was too focused on Blue now; his hands kneading my flesh, his heat warming me, and his mouth doing magical things to my body. I pulled at his clothing; yanking off everything that stood between us. Blue paused in his ministrations to help me and soon, we were writhing naked against each other.
Blue kissed his way down my stomach and started a sensual licking between my legs. His elegant fingers began to work at my flesh and then slide into me; gently thrusting as his tongue flicked at me.
And then, he bit me.
My back arched with ecstasy as my hands went to Blue's head; to hold him to me. I looked down and saw him staring up at me; his lips tight to my skin as he sucked and licked. Another memory superimposed itself over reality, and I saw Blue doing the very same thing to me, except I was laying across a stone altar. We had done this before, but I didn't mind the repeat.
My pleasure compounded until I was thrust into orgasm, and as I came, Blue surged up and slid inside me. We both gasped at the feeling of completion, and he lowered himself so we could hold tightly to each other as we rode the wave of pleasure all the way to shore. Then Blue rolled onto the floor and eased me in against his side. I hung a leg over his and draped myself across his chest; feeling satisfied and complete.
No!Alaric's voice finally became clear as I was coming down from the wild ride.He's not one of your husbands!
My eyes shot open, and my heart began to race.
What do you mean?I shrieked in my head.I remember him; I remember having sex with him. And I love him!
You don't love him like that, and the sex was just a dream. Blue was broken and twisted, and you fixed him; just as you did today.Alaric said.But you were meant to become friends, not lovers.
Well, it looks as if that has changed.
No shit.Alaric was silent awhile and then said.You'll have to make this work; convince Huitzilopochtli to join you in hunting Aion and Nyx.
Should I tell him everything about this time change?
Mostly everything,Al huffed.You'll have to go with the husband story for now. If we fix this, it won't matter anyway.
And if we don't?
Then you might end up with another husband, Vervain.
Chapter Thirty-Four
“I'm a cad,” Blue murmured as he sat up; cradling me to his chest as he did. “I've taken you on the floor like a harlot. Please forgive me.”
“We were both participating,” I said gently.
“Nonsense,” Blue said as he stood. “This is my home; I should have carried you to bed. In my defense; I was overwhelmed by emotion.”
