A long sigh left Lucas mouth as he started to see his own breath, he had finally allowed himself to take in almost everything. The fact he was able to feel his body starting to ache was enough to remind him how bad this situation was. It wasn't just his body but this all felt like a giant mental toll from everything. He placed his head against the cave wall as he couldn't help but look outside of the cave entrance at the raging strom. He used to think that the rain was a good way to relax, but now it felt like a constant reminder of his failure and the tears he cried.
"So much for a good first mission," Lucas told himself. Yet, his eyes went to the bare back girl in front of him. "I can't imagine what going through her mind after all of this." He thought as her words and story resonated with him a little. How she felt like everyone was against her and she wasn't even safe in her own mind. He knew she lived longer then him, so he couldn't imagine dealing with all of that for so long, and when you finally moved passed it, someone just came to throw it back in your face.
"It would make me rethink my entire life," Lucas said to himself as he saw her just sitting there quietly.
His mind then wondered to Ida. A chill went down his spine as he thought about her. The fact she pinned him down, forced her mouth on his, and her tongue invaded his mouth, made his stomach turn. His hand began to wipe his mouth as if he could feel it. What surprised him the most was when she pinned him, his member started to rise. He felt disgusted by the idea of his body liking it in such a bad situation. As he continued to think about what she tried to do, he wondered what would have happened if he didn't grab the knife.
"Would she have went that far and actually do it?" His mind began to ask him over and over. It started to echo and become overwhelming until he couldn't take it.
"Amay!" Lucas found himself blurting out random. He could see Amay's head raise up slightly as her ears twitched. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to-" He tried to apologize, but her voice cut him off.
"What do you want?" She said with a long sigh.
"W....when..She.." Lucas found the words hard to speak. It was as if he was embarrassed to even speak about it, but this was something that was bothering me. "Early today....when she had me pinned...Would she have....you know." He asked as a sick feeling came to him mouth.
"She would have." Amay told him in a cold voice.
Lucas felt his heart fall to his stomach as his blood went cold. Tears formed in his eyes a little as his fear became worse. "But why....Why me of all people?" He found himself asking her.
Amay turned her head to look at Lucas while still having her body covered. She let out a another sigh as she didn't want to explain to him fully.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Her words rung in his head as he slowly began to ask himself this. Take a deep inhale of breath, Lucas slowly nodded his head.
"Very well then," Amay regretfully said. Using her right arm to cover her barely visible chest, she held up her left hand with three fingers on them. "There are three reasons why she would want to."
"The first reason is as a way to get back at me . She would have done it as a way of destroying things around me. If she couldn't kill me, she would have used you in some way or form to hurt me." Amay said as she dropped the first finger.
"The next and last reason work in tandem, but broken down it works like this. Ida is a Jorōgumo. A type of Demi-Human that can take the form of a beautiful woman, spider, or hybrid of the two. Usually they are the ones to make nearly all of the clothing and such in my clan and neighboring ones and are well remarked at times. They are a little cold, but are usually just want to work in peace. You humans made them out to be dangerous." Amay said before getting a little serious. "However, there where rumors that they used to seduce young men to feed on or breed their numbers during the days of the war. But those were the ones that deviated from the norm or become a rouge. This leads to the third reason."
Lucas noticed Amay went silent for a moment. "Which is?" He asked wanting to know. He could hear and see her visible sigh as she told him.
"There's a reason why Lizzy kept this all away from you. " Amay stated. "Elizabeth was the best of the best. A legendary warrior. When I was around I seen her do amazing feats and proven time and time again why she was famous. Yet for all the good she tried to do, she did make a lot of enemies along the way. If they were to find out the Great Silverfox had a child. All of them would want their hands on you. Either to kill you out of spit for her or use you as a way to breed and produce stronger offsprings for their own use." She told him in a serious and sad voice.
Lucas sat there with his mouth slightly opened as he took this in. He didn't need her to finish anymore as he finally understood why she said all that.
"So it was a combination of all three then?" Lucas asked in a stunned voice. "She was going to kill you and take me with her and forced me to impregnate her to allow her to raise powerful babies. All as a way to steal some of the power my mom passed down to me?" He finished looking to Amay to see her slowly nodding. He then made another realization.
"Oh my God. Is that why you wanted me to leave you?" Lucas asked her. "You were going to sacrifice your life in order for me to get away.
"Yes." Amay confessed. "The moment she said that and the moment she broke my spine. I knew I needed to do everything in my power to keep you safe. Even if it cost me-"
"Please don't say it. Please" Lucas begged as he couldn't hear her say it. He was just taken back by this and could only ask one thing. "Why?"
"I could ask you the same question." She said looking up at him. When she looked up at him, she saw a weird look come across his face. "When I told you to run, you hesitated. You wanted to run, but instead chose to save me instead. I want to know why?"
"I..." Lucas found himself trying to answer and paused for a moment. "I don't know exactly. I guess I felt like I failed you already, and I couldn't bring myself to leave you behind." He said as he felt his heart skip a little.
"I see," Amay said before looking away from him. "It was a foolish decision that nearly got us both killed."
"That maybe so, but don't we do foolish things for the ones we care about?" Lucas said as his face started to blush.
His words caused Amay to look at him with shock as her face started to blush slightly as well. "You care about me?"
"Well yeah. You're my partner and...kinda like my best friend." He found himself speaking in a low mumble as he rubbed the back of his head.
Amay's face became a little brighter as she heard his mumble clearly. Her chest began to beat a little faster as she started to feel something. It was a mixture of embarrassment, shock, and joy from what he said. She watched as he brought his hands together as if he was cold and shivering.
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah," Lucas answered as he brought his hands together to his mouth as he tried to blow his warm breath through them. "Just cold."
"Oh." Amay said as she turned back around a little. She bit her lip a little out of nervous as her eyes darted around quickly. She could feel her own chest began to beat faster as she was debating what to do. She then took a deep breath and spoke to him. "I know a way to warm you up, but you have to close your eyes."
"Oh why?" Lucas curiously asked.
"It's not a surprise if you know it." Amay said cracking a little joke. "Now close your eyes."
"Alrighty then," Lucas shrugged as he closed his eyes. He honestly didn't know what she meant, but thought nothing of it. "Probably just going to increase the fire and didn't want to be seen." He joked to himself.
Lucas then felt a weight sit in his lap and then a sudden warmth of heat coming off of it. It felt smooth against his skin and this heat was like that of a hot heating pad resting along his body.
"Whoa. That feels really nice," Lucas asked as he felt it shifting a little. He then felt a warm breath whisper to him.
"Open your eyes and see." Amay voice said much closer then before.
This took Lucas by surprise and his heart began to beat a little faster as he slowly opened his eyes. To his complete shock and utter surprise it was a fully naked Amay sitting and laying on him. She had her chest covered and her legs crossed as she rested on him. Her skin became very pinkish in nature as small things of steam began to pour off of her. Her face was a lot more red compared to her body as she looked up but avoided his eye contact.
"Amay...You're.." Lucas found himself fumbling with his words.
"It's a tricked a picked up from being in cold areas when I was traveling with Elizabeth." Amay told him while still avoiding eye contact. She then moved to try and lay her head on his chest. She could feel Lucas jump a little from her touch. She could hear his heart beat his chest a little faster. "Are you warming up?"
"Amay..." Lucas said as he forced his hands outward not wanting to touch her. He then felt her lay her head on his chest. This nearly made him jump up a little, but he started to ease down and allowed her warmth to relax him.
"Are you feeling better?" She asked him as she saw his hand began to tremble a little. She used her free hand to follow down his arm feeling his defined muscles and came to a stop as she reached the injured hand. She hesitated for a moment, before looking up at him. "Does it still hurt?"
"Not that much..It's slightly stinging, but i can move it." He told her as he calmed down. He then brought it closer for her to see.
Amay looked at the slight disclosure and damaged flesh. She could see the cuts and the dried blood from it. She felt a little guilty for what he had to do to save her. "I'm sorry." She told him. She then felt him slightly chuckle at her apology and forced her head upwards to look at him.
"Sorry. It's just I've been the one apologizing to you for failing you. But you're apologize for me risking my own arm, while you risked your own life for me. It's kinda funny." Lucas said chuckling for a moment as he heard a soft giggle left Amay mouth.
"That is kinda funny," She told him. "I guess we both are a mess."
"Yeah." Lucas said as a small smile made it's way across his face.
For a solid moment, they shared a laugh. Then Lucas watched as Amay's hand continued to move down his injured arm. Her fingers interlocked with his, and a warm sensation along with a throbbing pain went all the way through his entire body. He didn't say anything as he just watched her. His eyes looked at hers as she looked up at him. She didn't have to say a word as he could tell what she wanted to do. With a single nod, he loosen his grip and allowed her to move his arm.
Amay felt him give her control of his arm. She held his arm and brought it closer to her mouth. She placed a gentle kiss on it before looking up at Lucas again. He had the same look in his eye. She could feel his heart beat a little faster, yet he was composed. Without another word she brought his hand toward her mouth and placed another kiss on it. This time she began to suck all the dry blood from his hand. She even went as far as to suck on his fingers a little.
Lucas body tensed a little as he felt her suck the dry blood and some fresh bleeding ones. "It felt painful and weird, but a little nice." He thought to himself as he started to feel something. He then let out a grunt as she sucked on his thumb. He soon noticed that her hair slightly changed color from soild white to a white that boards a very high pinkish white.
Amay pulled his thumb out of her mouth bringing a trail of blood mixed with saliva back. She started to breathe heavily as she let his hand go. Her eyes started to pulsate as she looked back up at him before turning her upper body to him. Her breath connected with his as they looked at each other for a moment.
As they both stared into each others eyes, they could feel their hearts starting to beat in tandem with one another. They were both nervous and a little anxious, but they could feel this pull towards one another.
Amay placed a hand on Lucas face as she slowly pushed herself closer to him. As her lips connected with his, she felt his lips trembling. She pulled away to try to kiss him again and felt his hand grab hers tightly as he pushed his head away.
As he closed his eyes to enjoy Amay's kiss and slowly opened them to look at her, Lucas's eyes went wide in horror as he saw Ida's face instead. He froze with fear as he saw her try to lean in again. This time he grabbed her hand hard and turned his head away from hers. His entire body began to tremble as he remembered Ida.
Amay pulled away for a moment as he felt his grip and her arm began to hurt. She began pull away and hit at his hand as he was getting tighter to the point his hand was starting to bleed. "Stop..You're hurting me." She told him.
The moment she said those words Lucas snapped back and look at what he was doing. Without hesitating, he let Amay go and watched as she fell backwards. His lips quivered as he couldn't believe what he had just done.
"Amay...I'm so sorry...I" Lucas said as tears began to form in his eyes. He just watched as Amay pulled herself upwards.
"I'm fine. Are you alright?" She asked looking back at him. "You looked scared."
"I....don't know. When I closed my eyes and opened them, I say her instead of you. God what's wrong with me." Lucas asked her and himself as he felt upset in himself for ruining their moment.
Amay didn't say a word for a moment, and just got up and went back to Lucas. Steam still left her body as she sat on his lap with her full exposed body facing him. She pressed her chest against his. She slowly placed both of her hands on his face drawing his attention to her.
"It's okay. You're still scared and still trying to relax. Why don't you just sit back and I take the lead? When you feel comfortable, you just join." Amay whispered to him as she slowly began to kiss his neck. She slowly kissed his lips until he was comfortable and managed to lock her lips with his for a passionate kissed. Her hands slowly began to touch his chest as they separated for a breath of air.
Lucas worries slowly melted away as their light kissing became longer. His hands reached and touched her waiste as they slowly made their way up to her soft but firm chest. As they pulled away to catch their breath, he looked into her deep ocean red iris and now wide pupils that were bigger then usual.
"She's so warm and beautiful," he found himself thinking as he used his hand to move a loose strains of hair out of her face. He pulled her in closer for a kiss before moving to gently kiss on her neck.
Amay wrapped her hands around Lucas as her pupils expanded and a smile came crept across her face. She felt as is her body was going to float away from his touches and his kisses. Her breathing became much heavier as she let out a giggle. She then pulled his head upwards as she looked down at him.
"I..want you..Are you alright with going the next step?" Amay spoke with lust covering her words.
Lucas felt the same and placed his hands on her waist. "I'm ready." He told her as his eyes never left hers.
A wave of pleasure filled both of them as they fell deeper into forbidden territory. A smile came across both of their faces as they shared a kiss as they became one.
