Page 73 of Celestia, Year Three

"I should be good for a month. Maybe even two. I don't need a lot of blood unless I use a lot of power."

"Maybe once my blood levels go up we can reserve some just in case I'm not around? At least you won't get to this state again." I leaned back to look at him.

"You're okay with that?" he asked.

"Are you?" I countered.

"Yes. For emergencies. I personally like biting you though," he admitted.

I smirked, licking my lips as I lowered my gaze to his lips that had a tint of my red to them thanks to his previous blood sucking.

"Our agreement still stands?"

"You mean...you want to?" he asked, looking surprised that I brought it up.

"Well, you need to shower. I wouldn't mind showering. So we can have some fun showering together, then start cleaning up after Hunter gets back. You guys apologize, we clean up, and back to our beloved home in New Aslan we go." I hummed like I was telling a story.

His smile widened as his eyes softened. "We don't realize how lucky we are to have you."

I blinked, feeling a little embarrassed by his praise. "I'm just me. Don't see how I bring luck."

"If people could be a quarter like you—kind, happy, and willing to love without boundaries—maybe we wouldn't be dealing with Forsaken," Theo said quietly. He stood and offered his hand.

I placed mine in his, and he helped me up, his arm immediately wrapping around my waist to make sure I didn't fall back from my unbalanced gait.

"Still a little wobbly," I admitted.

"You sure you'll be able to handle slippery shower sex?"

"There has to be at least a substitute position that doesn't require my balance." I huffed.

Theo's eyes darkened, and he scooped me up, walking straight out of the room and towards the bathroom. "There is. Depends how quiet you can be."

"No one's home."

"Huh?"

"I shooed them away." I grinned with pride and Theo laughed.

"Why am I not surprised?"

"You shouldn't be. That should be an expected predicament when Vincent meets me."

"He doesn't remember Aslan, does he?"

"Didn't look like it. He called Hunter a stranger."

"Hmm good. He's a spoiled ass," Theo declared.

"I agree," I replied and left another kiss on his neck. "We can forget about him by focusing on us." I practically purred and drew Theo's attention as his head lowered to look down at me.

"Hmm." Theo hummed, pressing lips against mine moments before he carried me into the large washroom and closed the door behind him.

He set me down and helped me take off my clothes, both of us stalling to kiss and leave love bites as proof of our soon to be lovemaking.

With my hand in his, we walked over to the clear glass shower, and Theo turned the water on to warm up before he stepped inside first. He gently pulled me inside and steam began to fog up the glass.

I moved into the hot stream of water, taking a moment to drench my body from head to toe. Once I was wet and ran my hands through my hair to pull the now straight locks back, I adjusted to let Theo have a turn.
