Forbidden

Chapter 19

-VALERIE'S P.O.V-

   The den. Annoying that I've already cleared this place and now I have to clear again. But I find happiness knowing I have Ninfa with me.
   Her hand feels so warm in mine, our only connection as I cannot see her. I think maybe I can make a spell where we can see each other.  Just need permission.
    As we go in, it's almost always the same. A feeding chamber. Pile of gold, jewels and money. Bunch of monsters.
   This time. At least 50. This is going to be a work.
   I pull her hand to my lips and lightly kiss before dropping. For some odd reason, I've wanted to do that with her. I wish I could have seen her reaction.
   10 heads down, it gets harder and harder because they're looking around for the killer. It's like a riot. At least I don't have to worry about hurting her with Sekia. Anyone innocent doesn't deserve her wrath...
   To the corner of my eye, I can see  heads drop in a graceful swoop. I find the way she work funny. She's like... light. Her training is most definitely light's training.
   It takes us a good 5 minutes before all taken down. And with no witnesses or humans to save, I'm greatful.
   I turn visible and she does too.
"How strong are you? Your max lift weight?"
"Hm. 500? I think."
"Good."
  I gather half the jewels in a large bag, at least half and more than a million. I turn around and hand her the bag. It droops to the side slightly.
"What do I do?"
"Just wait."
    I gather the rest and start walking towards her. This bag, easily more than hers and probably more worth as well.
"Can you fly with the weight?"
    She nods. I can take hers if she couldn't but I'm glad she can.
    I start walking out and she follows. As I set the bag down, I begin a cloaking spell. The spell starts a fire inside then builds a barrier over the entrance and then I cloak that from all eyes.
   I honestly feel.. drained. As I turn back around, her eyes set with worry.
"Are yo.."
"I'm alright, Ninfa." I smile to her and grab the bag.
   I grow my wings in a moments notice and start taking flight. To the one place this money is needed the most. Downtown, homeless-town.
  I go invisible before landing and she seems to do the same. I charge myself and begin dishing out my bag of money to the homeless. A good couple hundred thousand to each. And a jewel that I don't know the price.
   I barely see Ninfa and her bag but if I look close enough, I can see. I take her bag and give out the rest. All the homeless in the area have a good amount, enough for a house and a good proper living until they can stand on their own.
   I don't know how many times I have done this. Stolen from the goblins, and the trolls, they seem to collect more jelews and gold than paper money though. I enjoy giving it to people who need it most and because most that the monsters steal happens to be not recorded in any police or bank records as missing.
   I look closely for Ninfa and wrap my arms around her waist and take flight as time resumes. She turns visible and we look down.
    Each person looking around in awe to the piles before them.
"You're a hero." She kisses my cheek.
"If I can help more people while helping fix my own madness, I'll do it."
"It's not your fault for wanting freedom. I was wrong in what I had said. I will always be sorry."
"It's okay."
   I take flight in direction of my favorite place I had found. It doesn't take long, but normally it takes shorter time from eagle than just me and my wings.
"You don't have to hold me."
"Can you see where we are going from this point of view?"
"No."
"Exactly."
    She laughs and nuzzles her face in my embrace.
   The world isn't traveled fully for the humans but I see all when I travel to the world for fights. There is this small island with a beautiful waterfall right in the middle. A place only I know.
   I land at the edge of the water, quickly take her ear piece out and drop her. She falls in the water and screams as she surfaces. I can't help but laugh.
"WHHHYYYY?" She's so adorable.
    I strip down to boxers and sportsbra and jump in. The water feels warm around me. As I surface, her face is a deep shade of red.
   Her teal eyes shine bright.
"What? Mad at me?"
"No."
   I swim closer to her and she slightly swims back. I feel.. sad.. bad.. instantly. "I'm sorry."
"No, don't be." She closes the gap. "You startled me."
   My heart races as she leans in. Her lips take mine in a kiss. I wrap my arms around her waist and hold her close.
    The kiss... Her body warmth so close.. It turns my stomach into a pit of a fire.
    As the kiss parts. She speaks.
"You're evil." The world stops. Or so it seems. As she does a tiny pause. "Because I don't have any other clothes and will need a shower."
"Oh." I laugh lightly but feel myself blush. "If you need to, you can borrow some of my things until you return home."
   Something in me feels sad saying that. For a demon to enter heaven is impossible. Or so said, no one has ever dared to try it.
   She takes my lips in hers again and the flames burn more. It's intense. Her arms wrap around me.
   She swims back to the edge, pulling her with me. As the kiss parts...
"I.." she pauses and her face returns to the deep red. "..there are things I've been feeling."
"What do you mean?"
"When you kiss me."
   Is she hurting by my kisses?
"I'm sorry."
"No, it's like. Like I want.." Her face creates a new shade of red and it's adorable. "..more."
   The flame in my stomach spreads across my body. My whole body. It all.. in a new way..
"I'm sorry."
   Her apology confuses me. "Why?"
"You went silent."
"I feel the same."
     Something in her teal eyes just brightens. I think it's love... it's a look I seem to get a lot of since she confessed. A look I'm sure I have so many times.
    She bites her lip and the fire sends towards my lowers. ..I.. never..
"Can we get out of here?" She lets her lip go to speak.
   I only nod. I climb out and help her out. I grab my clothes and take flight. She follows close behind.
   My heart races only faster the closer we get home. It's like my mind is in a blur. In a blur until we land and then it all gets real.
    I give Joel the ear pieces.
"What happened to you?"
"She pushed me in a pool."
"Valerie."
    I raise my hands in the air. "In my defense, the scream was funny."
"How is that funny?" Her eyes question.
"It just was." I smirk.
"I need to change." She says and walks back to my room.
    When the door closes, I whisper to Joel.
"I'm dying."
"Why?" He whispers back.
"I think.. we're going to.. uh.."
   His face turns into a sour look and cringes.
"And I have no clue what I'm doing."
"You'll figure it out."
"Fuck." I mumble.
    He pushes me backwards, towards my room. "Rude to keep a woman waiting."
    My heart is out of control. The beats only quicken with all the slow steps I take. I'm about to do something.. I have never done to self.. I don't know what I even like... how would I know what she would?
    I want things to be perfect but I don't know what I'm doing so I can't possibly know what to do to make it perfect for her.. and I..
    I walk in and close the door behind me. Her eyes lock on mine and she bites her lip again. Something in me... makes... the heat.. makes my lower... throb...
   Her hair in a crazy mess, almost dry but still wet. The curls beautiful around her neck. I find myself walking slowly to her.
   My heart is just... running an infinite loop, faster each time it rounds.
   She slowly lifts her shirt. The pattern on her bra clear in the dim light. I lean down and take her lip from between her teeth and gently bites it in my own. She makes a soft hum that sounds more like a moan.
   So she likes this. Me biting her lip... good to know.
   I let go slightly, only to bring her lips in a kiss. My hand wondering up her back.. I unhook her bra after a moment and her chest is bare but I'm too caught up in this... deep... kiss.
  This... feeling.. only getting worse.
