“I could… I could do administrative work for you,” I told him, sinking back into the cushions behind me. “I have experience with planning events, and um, organizing fundraisers…” I looked down at my hands, wondering why they were suddenly glowing.

“Dad, what the hell did you give her?!” Anders snapped, grabbing the cup out of my hands.

Was this my light?It didn’t feel like it. I held my hand up in front of me, twisting it around to admire the soft glow.

“It’s medicinal. Often traumatic events can create blocks; this will unblock her mind.” I heard something smash in the distance, and Anders appeared in front of me, his face shining as he pulled me to my feet.

“Think about this, Grace, a union between you and my son, one that produces an heir. That would be enough for me to choose sides in this war,” Gregori’s voice floated past me, and I nodded absently.

“Okay, that’s fine,” I murmured, stumbling as Anders pulled me behind him. We left the book room, and I stared in awe as the floor shifted like quicksand, threatening to swallow us up.

“Come on, Kitten, you need to lay down,” Anders murmured, and his voice sent a tremor down my spine. He led me across the quicksand and pulled me into a dark room, shutting the door behind us. My skin was glowing like a star in the night sky. I laughed in awe and spun around, my fingers creating streaks of lights through the air. My clothes muffledthe light. That wouldn’t do at all. I tugged my shirt up and over my head and shimmied out of my leggings.

“Grace, what are you doing?!” I unclasped my bra and dropped it into the sky behind me, admiring my glow as it lit up the room.

“Look,” I murmured, holding out my arms and spinning around, giggling happily as the light under my skin glowed brighter.

“Kitten, come on, you should lay down,” Anders insisted, his hands curling around my waist. He was so soft and warm, I hummed happily as I pressed up against his body, giggling as he grunted in alarm.

“What the hell?” he growled, and I traced my glowing hand down his neck, beaming as his skin began to glow as well. I began to unbutton his shirt, fumbling as the material slipped through my fingers. It would be a hell of a lot easier if he stopped squirming so much.

“Stop undressing me!” Anders hissed, and I rolled my eyes, grabbing the fabric and yanking it until the buttons tore off, clattering across the floor.

“I want you to glow too.” I smiled, running my hand down his chest and over his abs, admiring the light I was leaving behind. My hands dropped to his waist, and he grabbed my arms as I unbuckled his pants, tearing my hands away from him.

“Grace, listen to me. You are high, none of this is real,” Anders insisted, and I stared up into his beautiful golden eyes, seeing my glow reflected in them. It was real, he just couldn’t see it yet. But I would help him see.

Standing up on my tiptoes, I pressed my lips to his, catching him mid-word and cutting him off. He let go of my armso I was able to snake it around his neck, pulling him down to me. He groaned against my lips as I deepened the kiss, pressing my body against his. “Do you feel that?” I whispered as he gripped my waist, pulling me flush against him.

“What the hell are you doing to me?” Anders rasped, and I could feel his cock growing stiff against my stomach.

“I’m making you glow.” I smiled, dragging him back down to my lips once more. My free hand tugged at his pants, shoving them down his hips. I wanted to touch all of him, he was so warm, but so dreadfully dark. I could make him light up so beautifully.

“Kitten, I can’t, please,” Anders murmured, trying to push me away as I yanked his boxers down, freeing his cock. “You’re high, it’s not right,” he insisted, and I whimpered as he began to pull away.

“Anders, please,” I begged, watching as my glow began to flicker and fade. “I need you, please!” My voice cracked, and he hesitated in front of me. “Please, Sir,” I whispered, and I felt the moment when his resolve snapped. Strong arms enveloped me, and I moaned as his length pressed into my stomach, the skin to skin contact brightening my glow until it was nearly blinding.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him desperately as he walked me backward. My knees hit something soft, and Anders lowered me gently onto the couch, climbing over me and caging me with his body. I helped him maneuver between my thighs, keening softly as he cock brushed my clit. I was so sensitive all over, every brush of his skin against mine drove me wild with need. I pulled him down flush against me, plunging my tongue between his lips, archinginto his chest, my nipples hard as they pressed against his skin.

I kissed him until I was breathless and panting, his hand moving to my hip to stop me from squirming, desperate for friction as I was. He was starting to light up, his skin holding a low murmur of shine wherever I touched him. But I wanted more, I needed more. I wanted him to glow as brightly as I did. “Anders,” I begged, my nails digging into his back as I tried to wiggle against him.

“Kitten, you don’t know what you’re asking,” he murmured, pressing his forehead against mine. He was so close, I was so close!

“Let go, just let go,” I begged, arching up into him as best I could despite his hold on my hip. “I’ll catch you. Please Sir, I need you, I need you so bad.” I could see the struggling in his face, his eyes squeezing closed as he muttered under his breath. “Anders, help me, please?” I whimpered, and he swore softly, his eyes opening to meet mine.

“Anything for you, Kitten,” he murmured, and he pulled my hip toward him, his cock sliding down my slit as he lined himself up. I cried out as he sheathed himself inside of me in one swift movement, every nerve in my body lighting up as my glow exploded through the room.

“Holy fuck…” Anders groaned as I clamped around him, my nails digging into him as I moaned. He began to pull out, and I nearly sobbed at the emptiness, but then he was back, filling me up and sending a burst of raw ecstasy through my whole body.

“Yes! Oh god!” I moaned, wrapping my legs around his hips as he thrust into me again, and again, my back arching as my orgasm neared. Pressure on my clit, followed by a roughpinch, and I was screaming his name as I dropped into an orgasm so intense I couldn’t breathe, every atom in my body tearing itself apart for a moment before reforming.

I was trembling from head to toe, and I gazed up at the beautiful god towering over me, his skin flickering with a warm heat just under the surface. “Don’t stop,” I begged as he sat back, grabbing one of my legs and bringing it up to rest against his chest. I hooked my ankle on his shoulder as he leaned forward once more, his thrusts even deeper at this angle. His hands kneaded my breasts, pinching my sensitive nipples until my eyes were rolling back in my head and I was crying out incoherent sounds, begging for more.

My second orgasm was just as powerful as the first, my pussy spasming and clamping around Anders as I screamed, and I heard him groan low in his throat as he spilled inside of me, filling me up. His thrusts slowed, and he sagged into me, pressing his forehead against mine as he panted. The whole room was lit up now, my glow suffused into his skin, so together we were a beacon of light. I sighed softly, stroking his hair as I smiled, humming with contentment.
