The Fugitive - Chapter 174

{ Following chapters still need to be edited grammar wise. But it is still good to read}

Esme watched on in silent awe of this dream that was ongoing, revealing this Nyx and Gabriel’s growing relationship. The longer she watched on and acted in the body the more she began to feel like it was more than just a dream, it felt real, it felt like long forgotten memories. It didn’t make sense though, she was a werewolf and Gabriel a vampire, though the only part that did make sense was that Gabriel most likely was from the times of ancient Greece.

But it all felt real, even with these bizarre powers and watching the different lives of these literal Greek Gods. The crazy part was, if there was an even any part of this that was crazy now, was that she always had an interest in Greek mythology, it was another past time when she was at the White Sands pack. But she only read about the usual Moon Goddess, and the deities that were more famous than infamous. Though even then she scoffed at Zeus and was strongly opinionated about a few of them, she just believed she was too immersed in it to help distract her from the cruel life she had.

Now she was currently in this dream, Gabriel sitting across from her, ‘proving himself’ that it was more than just physical attraction. They’d been on romantic dates throughout the summer, creating this blossoming romance like any summer romance but it was much deeper than a passing fling. Currently in the dream, Nyx and Gabriel were sitting in a rowing boat along the lake where he first made his move. They were sipping on wine and he was feeding her grapes while surrounded by fireflies, the glowing luna waterlilies and the three moons high up in the clear sky.

“You really don’t have to feed me, Gabriel. You’re not my servant,” Nyx muttered, though with a blush growing on her cheeks after biting into a grape from his fingers, she watched as he licked the juices before moving closer to her.

“I like taking care of you,” Gabriel purred as he caressed her cheek and turned her face towards him, smoothly stealing a kiss from her pink lips, waiting patiently until she returned his kiss and his hands went into her hair, deepening it, sliding his tongue into her mouth and intertwining with hers. Nyx couldn’t help but moan and cling to his chiton before her hands slid over his muscular chest.

Gabriel pulled away and they stared each other, their breaths ragged, acting like the other was the air that they breathed and without them they would die. They stared at each other and Nyx felt desire course through her, and her hands lowered down his body and to his muscular thighs. Gabriel’s eyes flashed and he started to glide his hands down her neck, caressing over the thin material of her breasts making her core clench from his tender touch and the intensity of his eyes. Her hands moved under his chiton and wrapped around his hardened length, feeling delighted that he was aroused just from kissing her.

“Not just kissing,” Gabriel murmured as he left butterfly kisses down her neck while he kneaded her breasts and started pinching her nipples in pleasurable pain. Nyx shifted and straddled on top of him, moving the material away from his groin as before sinking down on top of him. They both hissed through their teeth, Nyx’s arms went around his neck and his grabbed her waist while they stared intensely at each other. She felt whole and not because of how full she felt from him being inside of her, but his embrace, his presence alone always made her feel accepted, comfortable and at ease. Without him, she found herself seeking for him.

Nyx brought her lips to his, her hands going into his long white locks as she greedily started to slowly grind on him, he met her thrusts, his hands sliding up her back and pulling her body closer to his like he couldn’t bear for their bodies to be apart. But all too quickly their moment was ruined when the voices of their servant’s called out to them. Nyx sighed, leaning her head against his chest and Gabriel glared in the direction of those who interrupted them.

“Blasted. If they weren’t so good at hiding our rendezvous’ I would strike them down,” Gabriel growled.

“No, you wouldn’t,” Nyx chuckled at the prince of the underworld. He was certainly more devilish than angelic but that had nothing to do with any form of evilness. Over the months, she’d noticed he only punished those that needed to be punished, much like herself. She also found that Acacius and Kairos worked extremely well in a team, making tonight’s hidden spot annoyingly exposed to them. It was too soon for them to split apart, though they’d been together for two days in a row, their bodies intertwined in heated passion.

Right now, they were just getting started, and she was the one who couldn’t hold back. The setting was romantic and Gabriel was always looking after her showing how much he cared. But nobody knew of their relationship, and it wasn’t because they wanted it secret for too long but so they could spend time together without any disturbances or whispers annoying them. She was daughter of Khaos and he was son of Hades, when they finally announced themselves as an item news would ricochet back to all of the deities. And gods like Zeus would question their motives because it would make their alliance stronger and a force to be reckoned with.

“They still do not know where we are just yet,” Nyx smirked and, her eyes glinting beneath the moon light. She slowly stood up and bit her lip from giggling when Gabriel groaned in annoyance and his hands went to her backside while he looked up at her. The goddess opened her palms, her brows setting together in concentration. Within seconds black mist arose from the water rising up high into the sky making it impossible to see past a meter ahead. Nyx then looked up at the sky and waved her hand slowly, creating dark clouds to hide the moons, letting only glimmers of it’s light to sparkle on their boat alone.

Now, nobody could see them. The palace, forest and mountains were hidden away into the blanket of darkness she created. Now, they could take as long as they wished. Nyx knew Acacius and Kairos would even struggle finding their way back to the palace, she felt a little guilty.

“Really, Nyx?!” She heard Acacius shout in disbelief. He knew her well and the circumstances they were now in. “It better not take us all night to get back.”

“Get back? Nonsense. We need to inform them of what I heard!” Kairos replied; he sounded uneasy and it made the pair on the boat realise how close their servants were to the lake.

Nyx was curious at their servant’s comments but when she looked down at Gabriel questioning on whether to reveal themselves, he shook his head. His hands groping her backside more and pulled her back down towards him. She couldn’t help but smile at him, but instead of straddling him like before he held her and tipped them over, so she was lying on her back. They were careful for the water not to sway and slosh, revealing their location.

“How are we going to do that? Nyx has made it impossible for us to find them. They do not wish to be disturbed-”

“You give up too easy!” Kairos exclaimed.

Nyx stared up at Gabriel who hovered above her and slowly thrust into her, and closing the small space between them so their bodies were touching everywhere.

“Believe me I’ve worked with her a long time. This will be too much effort when all we need to do is wait for their return,” Acacius replied nonchalantly, and they could hear his footsteps growing quieter.

“Much the same for Gabriel. But this cannot wait..” Kairos murmured then his footsteps picked up quickly and the sounds of their servant’s presence were gone.

Nyx burst into a fit of giggles when she knew they were in the clear before gasping as Gabriel started to thrust into her. She clung onto him and their lips collided again, feeling enraptured by their bodies desperation to climb new highs with one another under the glow of the moon and the cover of darkness.

When morning came, Nyx woke up in the early hours of the morning, the first light shining across their sweaty, naked bodies. Nyx was clinging to Gabriel, and it took her a few moments to remember they were in a boat. After getting changed again, the pair were going to separate for the day, they weren’t eager to leave one another though. Nyx for one had an ominous feeling about returning to the palace and it seemed Gabriel was of the same mindset. Instead her lover picked her up and within a few blurred minutes they were standing in the middle of the mountainside.

Nyx raised a brow at him as he set her feet back onto the ground, she looked to the side at the spectacular view of the mountains and the rising suns revealing stunning hues of pinks and purples. Gabriel smiled at her and took her hand in his. “Let us have this day together. Nyx.. I want to make it official with you.” He searched her eyes, his own for once seeming anxious at her answer.

“Official..” She trailed off then looked down at the ruby ring he was holding in his hand towards her. Her eyes went wide and she looked up at him her mouth gaping.

“Marry me, Nyx.”

“It’s quite soon..” She murmured, her voice was barely a whisper. Was it crazy that she wanted to say yes, though?

“Nyx.. The moment I saw you on that hill, peasant or goddess.. I knew you were my life from then onwards.. It might seem fast but when it feels so right.. what does it matter?” Gabriel replied softly, his words were washing over her like smooth velvet.

“Why do I..” Nyx stared at the ring, trailing off. “Why do I feel such a strong pull to you? Is this..” She knew of the term soulmate but it seemed ridiculous. Then when she looked back into his captivating blue eyes, she knew that this pull, this need to be with him was stronger than anything she’d ever felt. Sure she’d lusted over others before but this was entirely different.

Gabriel sighed, his thumb rubbing over her hand gently before he stared back into her eyes, holding her captive as he spoke the next words. “Nyx, I’m slightly different.. I.. need.. blood to survive,” He said slowly searching her eyes for any fear but there was none as she waited for him to continue. “And.. this pull you are feeling.. its because we are soulmates. Even if I wasn’t what I am.. We would be soulmates.”

Nyx looked back down at the ring, feeling a sense of calmness and warmth relaxing her body. His words comforted her and the blood drinking wasn’t something that concerned her. They’d spent a lot of time together, if he was some sort of monster, she would have seen it by now. The goddess still believed she was more monster than him and she’d seen what Erebus did to people. Gabriel was never a threat to her, she could feel her entire being sensing that he was the one she was to be with and it made her eyes softening.

She put her hand forwards and stared back at Gabriel. “I am yours, Gabriel. I will marry you..” Gabriel smiled and slid the ring on her finger, it felt comfortable, and it felt right.
