It was early morning when Khari woke up. The sun was shining so bright that the room he slept in was bright. He looked next to him and Nile was not there anymore. He sat up straight and put his palm where Nile was sleeping. He smiled looking at it. He heard laughter outside so he got out of bed and walked outside. He opened the door and saw Pea, Path and Nile sitting outside helping each other prepare breakfast. He watched them teasing each other and laughing. Khari was used to having the serpents with him, seeing them in human form happy made him content. He wanted his world to be like this, now more than ever he wanted the heart cursed broken because he wanted to feel every ounce of love for Nile. He put his right hand on his heart and he didn't feel it beat. It was as if he was dead. He looked at Nile like he was his whole world. Strange how it was a man who made him feel like this. He did not care how the world would maybe think it is strange all he knew is he wanted to move everything to be able have Nile with him everyday. He walked out of the house in his long red shirt. He had no make up on but he still was the most beautiful man Nile had ever seen. Nile looked up and saw Khari, he immediately stopped doing what he was doing and he just stared at Khari who also stared at him. The chemistry between was uncontrollable and undeniable. Pea and Path both looked at them and Pea couldn't hold in her joy. Nile stood up and he wiped his hands on his pants and he walked towards Khari. "I can run you a bath now." He said to Khari. "Hmm.." Khari replied Nile, he was a bit shy and Nile walked past him and he followed him. Pea held her mouth and she screamed kicking her legs in the air. Path smiled as she took the meat in to the kitchen. She couldn't hold it herself but didn't want Pea to see it.
Khari followed Nile into the bathroom and he watched him fill up the wooden tub with water with warm water. He finished filling it up and he looked at Khari who was just standing there quiet. "You can bath now Khari." Nile said to him as he tried to leave the room as quickly as he could. Khari grabbed his hand and stopped him. "I want you to stay with me." He said to Nile and Nile bit his lower lip, shyly. He just nodded his head and Khari had a naughty smile on his face. Khari took off all his clothes and Nile bit his lip harder it almost bled. Khari held his lip out and put his thumb on it rubbing it gently. "Don't bite it too hard or it will bleed." He told Nile who swallowed hard, his huge eyes wide open looking into Khari's eyes. Khari let him go and sat in the tub with his head on the edge of the tub. Nile was shy and it was as if this was his first time being with a man or anyone. He felt it was different with Khari and he was so shy that he just wanted to bury himself that morning. He kept thinking of kissing him, letting him do things to him and this made him shy because he thought Khari knew what he was thinking too. Khari sat in the tub looking at Nile. "So have you kissed a man before or I was your first?" He asked Nile curiously. Nile walked and sat on the edge of the of the tub close to Khari's head. "I have kissed a man before." He said and paused that Khari sensed there was more to the story. He didn't say anything but he remained quiet because he wanted Nile to continue. "I thought he loved me but I was just his fantasy he wanted fulfilled. He married the one he loved after, a woman to be specific." He told Khari, he seemed sad and heartbroken. Khari sighed. "You still love him?" He asked Nile who just smiled and shook his head. "No I do not love him, it just made me realise that maybe I was not meant to love. I like men and I always have but in our world I don't think it is possible." He explained to Khari. "Well it is a good thing then I don't belong in your world. I can do whatever I want." He said to Nile with a serious look on his face. Nile felt his heart skip and he smiled because he wanted to love Khari and he knew it was going o be hard because of the heart curse but he still wanted to love him. Khari saw Nile smile and he sprinkled water on his face with Nile covering it with both hands. They sat in there for a while until Khari was done.
Adana stood watch over the house from a distance, she noticed the interactions between Nile and Khari. She watched them help each other dress and as they sat and ate together with the serpents. She didn't quite understand the closeness between Khari and Nile so she decided to wait for a little bit longer. As she sat there she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw a girl behind her. "You must be hungry, the way you have been standing guard over Nile's house since morning is actually sad you know." Pea said to Adana sarcastically as she handed he a piece of bread. Adana rolled her eyes at Pea and Pea sighed. "You just like all the other Guardians I see." She said as she grabbed Adana's shoulder and she pushed her from where she sat. She transformed into her serpent's form and coiled around Adana disappearing with her deep into the forest. She threw her on the ground and transformed back into her human form. She folded her hands and watched Adana trying to get up in pain. "This was for hurting Nile, you piece of Guardian shit! And this is for always messing with our lives!" She said as she punched Adana down again. Pea kicked her in the stomach and she had her tail hit her against a tree. She walked towards Adana who was not even prepared yet to fight back. "I don't want to smell or see your ass anywhere near Khari or Nile! Next time I will kill you Guardian!" She warned Adana angrily as she walked away and disappeared into thin air. Adana coughed blood out, put her head on the tree behind her and laughed. She was the best of the Guardian's warriors and no one had ever whooped her ass like Pea had so she found it funny. She slowly got up and walked away holding her lower abdomen. She went back home to rest and heal.
Nile went up to Khari as he sat outside, he was looking at the sunset. He had his bare chest exposed and he was sitting there leaning backwards. Path and Pea walked up to them. "We going back to the cave for the night." Path told Khari and Nile. Khari sat up straight and looked at the two girls. "Auw, why are you leaving?" Nile asked them surprised. He didn't want them to go and also a part of him though if they left then Khari would also want to leave. "We need to get a few gold pieces and stuff there besides we want you to have time to yourself." Pea said to Nile smiling. Nile just looked at her and chuckled. Khari just sat there quietly so the two sisters began to walk away before Path turned. "I'd be very happy if you put up a boundary spell master." She told Khari. "Hmm.." He said back as he nodded his head. The two of them left Nile and Khari sitting outside. Khari put his hand up towards the sky and put up a boundary spell. Nile sat there watching him and he just smiled. It was getting and the stars and the moon were bright. "When I couldn't leave the cave I'd look up an opening and peak at the stars. For four hundred and forty five years I never thought I'd see the stars like this." Khari told Nile whilst he looked up, Nile looked at Khari this whole time. He reached out for his hand and held it in his. "I hope you can not only see the stars but the world with me Khari." He told him and Khari looked back him smiling. He smiled more these days and he smiled more when he was with Nile. He nodded his head and replied. "Me to Nile, me too." Nile moved closer to him and put his head on Khari's shoulder. And they sat there watching the stars with Khari telling Nile what they represented to the Guardians.
It was bit cold so Nile and Khari went inside, they lit a fire and sat next to the fireplace. Nile left and went to lock up and closed the doors and the windows. When he was done he saw Khari waiting for him by the door. "Khari why are you not sitting by the fire? It is cold." He told him but Khari smiled. "I am mostly water Nile the cold doesn't really bother me. I only asked to get inside because you were cold." He explained to him. Nile smiled as he walked towards him, he stopped right in front of him and touched Khari's chest. His hand ran down Khari's chest to his abdomen. He looked at him and he suddenly stopped removing his hand but Khari took hold of his hand and put it back. Nile looked up into Khari's eyes and he was looking down on him too. "I don't want you to stop." Khari said to Nile and Nile just swallowed hard. He was ready , he had been ready since day one but he didn't know if Khari wanted the same as him. "What do you want Khari?" Nile asked him as he looked into his eyes with his hand running down Khari's bare chest. Khari put his left hand on Nile's waist and pulled him closer. "I want what you want Nile." He whispered to him and Nile couldn't control himself. He stood on his toes, grabbed Khari's head by the hair and kissed him hard. Khari kissed him back and he held Nile's waist even tighter closer to him. The two of them kissed each other intensely at the door and Khari pushed Nile to the wall. Nile kissed Khari's neck and he had his other hand on his chest. Khari moaned with pleasure. He took Nile's fac and kissed him hard on the lips. Nile put both his hands around Khari's neck, Khari took Nille's legs and carried him with his legs wrapped around his waist. He walked from the door to the fireplace carrying him and kissing him. He knelt on the fur on the floor as he continue carrying and kissing Nile. He carefully and slowly put Nile on the fur as he began unbuttoning his shirt. He kissed Nile on his bare chest and he went further down kissing his waist and he opened Nile's button on the pair of trousers he wore. He went up kissing his abdomen, his chest, his neck and his lips.
Nile slid his hands in Khari's pants getting hold of his manhood. It was big and hard, it turned him on. Khari moaned when Nile held his male organ. He kissed him harder and Nile held Khari's shoulders and switched positions with him. He sat on Khari's abdomen and began kissing him on his chest, Nile kissed Khari on the lips. "I want you Khari, I want you so badly." He moaned and whispered in Khari's ears. He kissed Khari's abdomen, waist and he pulled Khari's pants down leaving him naked. He kissed him from his toe, legs, thighs and to he put Khari's male organ in his mouth. Khari felt the warmth in Nile's mouth and he felt pleasure like never before. He had never experienced anything sexual or envisioned himself doing it but Nile had a way of making him imagine things that were so deep and out of this world. Nile took Khari in and out of his mouth and Khari held his dreads with his hand on Nile's arm. Khari pulled Nile up and he kissed him hard as he held him tight. He took Nile's pants off and he held Nile's male organ. He switched positions and put Nile on the fur. He pulled Nile by his legs and wrapped them around his waist whilst kissing him. Nile held on to Khari's neck whilst wrapping his legs around him. He took his hand, held Khari's hand, put it on Khari's male organ and directed him to his anal hole. Khari guided by Nile slowly put his penis inside Nile's anal hole. He began to thrust in and out slowly as he felt the great pleasure. Nile felt a sting of pain but he also felt the pleasure that came with it. He held on tight to Khari's neck, kissed him as he moaned and he tightly wrapped his legs around Kkhari as he thrust in and out of him. The two of them went on like that for a while until Khari lifted Nile and have him sit on his laps whilst he thrust in and out. They both moaned with pleasure and Khari held Nile's face close to his. Their bodies were wet with sweat but they didn't care. They both moaned and came at the same time with Nile's come all over Khari's abdomen. Nile rested his head on Khari's sweaty chest and took a deep breath. Khari fell on his back with Nile on top of him taking deep breaths. He kissed Nile on his head and hugged him tight. "That was amazing!" Khari expressed and Nile smiled.
Nile and Khari cleaned up and they went and rested on the fur next to the fire. Nile slept next to Khari with his head on Khari's chest. They had a fur covering half of their bodies. Khari had his arm around Nile, he was looking into the flames. He didn't say anything, he was afraid of how Nile made him feel because he thought he would lose it. "Khari, Can I love you?" Nile quietly asked him. Khari sighed and he turned looking at Nile. "Loving me will come with a lot of death scares, enemies and pain. Do you want that Nile?" He asked him afraid Nile would tell him he didn't want it. "As long as I get to love you then yes I want all that." Nile didn't even hesitate to answer. Khari woke up and sat up straight. Nile sat right behind him with his arms around Khari and his head rested on Khari's shoulder. "I do not know love Nile, but I know I want to be close to you, to hold you and to protect you. I want to do things to you but I do not want to lose you too." He told him, he was being honest and he rarely expressed himself but with Nile it was different. Nile took his hand and placed it on Khari's heart. "I will love you till you know what love is. I will break this curse, all you have to do is trust me and allow me to love you." He told Khari who looked at him as he placed hiss hand on top of Nile's hand on his heart. "I trust you Nile." He replied him as he kissed him on the cheek. "That is all I ever ask." He said as he rested hiss head on Khari's shoulder. Khari and Nile sat there looking into the fire.
