Chronicles of the West

Chapter Eighty Eight

Ryu pushed the door to Silvana's chambers open. She sat on the edge of her bed, her hair damp from her bath. The hanyou stepped over the threshold and shut the door behind him. He leaned against the wood and folded his arms over his chest, studying the female he was about to take possession of.

She was silent, and stiff. Anxious or perhaps afraid. Of what, he could only guess. He could faintly smell Josin on her, but not in her. He'd been in time to save her from that. Not that it would have mattered. He would have gutted the bastard and had her anyway.

"Silvana" he said softly, his voice a deep rumble in the dimness. She blinked and looked up at him. Her blue eyes wide. He didn't move from his position. "What troubles you?" he asked. She looked away, suddenly ashamed.

"I…I was afraid Ryu" her voice a sliver of a whisper, "I doubted you". Ryu's ear flickered slightly and he sighed, "Silvana look at me" he commanded. She slowly lifted her eyes to his. "I can only imagine what it must have been like for you in that..place" he said, "No scent, not knowing if we would reach you. I do not blame you for doubts or fears, I can only show you that they were unfounded".

She nodded. "Come here" he said, holding a clawed hand out to her. She rose and moved to stand just before him. He took her hand and opened the door. She blinked in confusion. "Ryu I thought that we were.." She began and he cut her off, "We are. Right now".

She looked over her shoulder at her room, "But the bed is that way" she pointed out. He Keh'd. "Your bed is that way, we are doing this in MY bed. It's where you belong anyway" he said almost as n afterthought. She nodded and followed behind him.

He threw open his door and tugged her inside, kicking the portal shut behind him. Moonlight filtered across the bed and she moved to the window, staring out at the full orb. She shivered and Ryu noticed it. "What is it?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

She shook her head, "I can never look at another full moon again without thinking that it almost gave Josin what he wanted" she replied. Ryu frowned, "What does the moon have to do with it?" he asked. She blinked, turning to face him, "The full moon at it's peak was when he had to take me" she told him, "I thought you knew".

Ryu growled, he hadn’t know, but he was pretty certain his father and that damnable foxbat had. They'd known and not told him. 'Couldn't be because you were close to losing it, now could it?'. He hated that little voice of reason rattling around in the back of his head. He shoved it aside, he could take issue with those things in the morning. He had more… important matters to handle tonight.

Silvana touched his cheek drawing his attention back to her, "Ryu, there is one thing I must know" she asked softly. He held her eyes until she lifted her hand into the line of his vision. "If you bind my powers we will not win" she whispered.

Ryu nodded, "I know, I understand now what your powers mean to you, the strain they are on your body". His tone was soft, shamed. She cupped his face in her hands and leaned close to him. "I know that you don't need my powers and that you don't want them. But I won't let anyone else have them, not even a part". Ryu captured her lips with his, drinking in her sigh of contentment.

Silvana felt his warm tongue brush over her full bottom lip, she parted her lips to him, inviting him to plunder the sweetness of her mouth. His fangs grazing her lower lip as he angled his head differently. He growled softly when her tongue danced against his.

His hands roved over her body, cupping, caressing. She moaned when his long fingers closed over her breast. Her body arching against him. He rumbled his approval, his need springing to life. His groin already hard and aching. The very thought of her made him this way. He lifted her to the windowsill. Her white plume of a tail moving to the side.

Her hands slid over his shoulder and into the silk of his haori. Her cooler hands finding the heat of his skin beneath. He growled, his mouth moving to her jaw and then her ear. Planting hot kisses that fired her blood as he went. His lips brushed over her throat, fangs sliding over smooth skin.

She moaned and clutched at his upper arms. Her head falling to the side to allow him better access. Ryu delighted in the sounds he was wringing from her, the scent of her arousal swirling in the air, mingling with his own.

He shoved her against the cool panes of glass. The silk of her garments falling away under masterful sweeps of his claws. "You've ruined a perfectly good sleeping robe" she whispered to him. He grunted attaching his mouth the pulse of her throat, suckling lightly.

"It's a loss I can live with" he murmured. She hissed at the strange sensation of cool glass and heated mouth on her body. Her long fingers tangled in his silver hair, raking gently through his long braid. The strands fell in perfect order around his face and shoulders.

"You are truly beautiful Ryu" she breathed. He Keh'd. "Woman will you be quiet and let ME do the loving and the wooing here?" he asked with light hearted exasperation. He nipped her shoulder, his hands sliding down to the smooth indention of her waist. His face lowering to her full breasts.

He nosed the around playfully a bit and then curled his tongue around one coral peak. She arched against him, her hands sliding back into this hair, cuddling him close to her as he began to suckle. His blunt teeth catching the distended flesh and tugging lightly.

Her soft, breathy moans falling on his fuzzy ears like a mysterious song. Her hands stroking through his hair and squeezing softly on the nape of his neck. His arms slid, like hot steel around her slim form. His claws raking softly over her back as he drew her closer to his seeking mouth.

One hand slid over her ribcage, and over the paleness of her exposed stomach. She closed her eyes, lowering her head to nibble on the tip of one tender ear. Ryu shuddered against her, he groaned as her breath, moist and warm, wafted over the delicate pink there.He slid his hands beneath her knees, kissing her deeply as he pulled her limbs apart and moved to stand between them. Her arms wrapped around him, her slender legs moving to his waist, keeping him prisoner against her.

Ryu smirked against her lips as his hand crept downward, and teased the cropped curls of her sex. She gave a shivering whimper when his skilled fingers parted the wet flesh, seeking inward. She cried out softly, when he brushed his thumb over her pearl.

Her head fell back as he continued, her mouth falling open with near silent cries and heavy pants. Ryu stared at her as he worked her, revelling in the rapturous expression that stole over her. Slowly, torturously, he slipped two fingers into the wet heat of her body, preparing her for his entrance.

She arched against him and he chuckled softly, "Like that, do you?" he asked. His tone dark with want. He captured her lips in a voracious kiss, his tongue sliding against hers. She whimpered into his mouth when he curled his fingers within her, making her arch closer to him.

He felt it then, the swirling of her power and her eyes fell open to glow at him. Her body clenched around his fingers, wetness following. Her cry swallowed by his deep kiss. He withdrew his fingers from her sheathe and lowered himself to kneel before her. Her pale hair lifted into the air, dancing around them on the soft wind that was rising.

Ryu shrugged her knees over his wide shoulders. Silvana watched him, orbs glittering through her dark lashes. His shining head cushioned between her pale thighs, his silver strands falling over the tender flesh in liquid silk caresses.

His arms slid behind her, dragging her closer to the edge of the windowsill. His mouth was on her a moment later, making her cry out with pleasure. "Ryu!" His tongue sliding between pink folds, pressing at her entrance, sweeping up and swirling over her pearl.

Her fingers fell to his ears, stroking the soft appendages as he ravaged her core. Ryu delighted in her taste, in her response to him. Each lap drawing more nectar from her, his fangs caught a fold in gentle grip, tugging at it, before he suckled at it. "So good" he murmured into her flesh.

Her legs fell further open for him and Ryu pressed his nose to the apex of her thighs, his tongue darting in and out of her core. Then he slowed the pace, a slow languid conquering of her most secret place. Her grip shifted to his hair and tightened as she mewled above him.

Her flesh began to glow softly and Ryu felt her power increase, it flared outwards and caressed along his flesh. Like tiny tongue of sizzling sensation, he growled in pleasure, the vibration pushing her ever closer to her peak once again. The only sounds were her soft, sharp cries and his growls and moist lapping. "Ryu… I ..can't…can't take it!"

Ryu felt his own erection with a painful intensity. He needed release and soon, but she came first. She would always come first. He took in the tension of her frame, the slight quaking of her body. He angled his head and grazed his fang over her pearl, making her cry out his name with her release.

Ryu rose to his full height, and gathered the trembling female in his arms. In quick motions he had her on the bed. Her body cast in the glow of elemental power. Like tendrils of light, it curled around him and pulled him closer.

"On your knees bitch" he commanded softly and Silvana positioned herself on hands and knees. As was expected. He groaned at the sight of her, bent and exposed before him. Ready for him. Her flesh, glistening with her recent release. She looked over her shoulder at him, with those half lidded bright eyes. She was like pure seduction. In an age old pose that commanded he take her.

Ryu moved to kneel behind her, reaching forward he gathered her soft hair and pushed it to one side of her neck. His inner beast was snarling and fighting against his control, wanting badly to take and claim his female. Her tail lifted slightly and moved to the side, saying without words that she was ready for him.

Ryu shoved him back mercilessly, closing his pink tinged eyes a moment. His clawed hand fell to her hip and held her steady as he positioned himself at her entrance. His tip touching the slickness. "Say it Silvana" he rasped to her, "Say that you are mine".

Silvana pushed back ever so slightly against him, making him moan, "I am yours Ryu" she whispered, her voice pleading and thick with desire, "Please….". Ryu pushed forward, feeling her wet flesh part to allow him entrance. He went slowly, feeling her fit so snugly around him.

He shut his eyes, his head falling back, enjoying the feeling of her surrendering body. It fluttered around him, she was already highly sensitized and his slow entrance was like delicious torture. She whimpered and tried to arch back to take him fully. Ryu growled in warning and she held still.

Her fingers curling into the bedding as his thick length sank slowly deeper. Ryu leaned forward, covering her with his form, a move of instinctive dominance that greatly appeased his inner beast. One clawed hand moved to grasp the nape her neck and slowly, gently forced her head to the bed.

Her body angled and Ryu slid deeper. She whimpered when he nudged against her tender cervix. He rumbled soothingly to her, and withdrew, only to push back in in a silken slide. She moaned at the feeling of fullness he inspired.

Ryu began his movements then, slow and deep, making her toes curl. His hands slid to her hips, drawing her back against him in hypnotic rhythm. Ryu watched through pink eyes as his hard column vanished into her heat only to reappear, glistening with her fluids.

It was the most satisfying thing he could recall seeing in his life. To know that the one he plundered now, was irrevocably his. His need grew as he moved within her, the desire to feel more. Silvana sensed this in him and felt the pull herself. "Please Ryu…" she panted, "Faster".

Ryu heard his female's words and obliged her. Thrusting hard and fast against her, his demonic speed rocketing them toward release. She moaned and cried out as he grunted and growled against her. He felt her tighten slightly and knew she was close. Hell, he was there himself.

Shoving in hard and deep, he paused. Pressing against her and forcing her down again. His hand moved to press against her pearl as he forced his way deeper still. Her body tensed, knowing what he was doing, knowing that he was making his possesion complete.

He felt her shift slightly as he pushed up against her cervix. His head fell into the hollow of her shoulder. His tongue lapping at the area which would bear his mark. "This might be uncomfortable for a moment" he whispered, his voice ragged and rough.

He felt the flesh give way to allow him to penetrate far more deeply. She whimpered at the slight sting of his total ownership, and then he bit deeply. His fingers stroking her pearl to distract her from the full pain of it. Her blood sang across his tongue and he growled in pleasure.

Silvana felt his hot length filling her beyond anything she'd felt previously. He left no part of her womb untouched. She was wide open, and filled and it made her feel exceedingly vulnerable. Her whimper said as much, still the sting faded and his heat seemed to soak into her body. Ryu within, Ryu without, it became oddly….comforting. "This is where I will plant our pups" he growled to her.

Slowly he retreated from that deep place, his fangs leaving her flesh and he lifted her upright on her knees, her face pressed against his neck, as he began to move again. Her body clamping and fluttering, her orgasm beginning. As she cried out her release, she bit him, though not as deeply as he'd bitten her. Light flared around them, and wind swirled around the bed, lifting long hair of two colors and mating it in airborne swirls.

He snarled as he felt the prick of her smaller fangs and her hot fluids cascade over his buried length. With a hard thrust and guttural groan, he spilled himself within her. Holding her hips to remain firmly within her. She lapped at the mark she'd made, unlike hers it would not scar. It would serve as the anchor of their bond.

Ryu allowed them to fall forward onto the bed, catching their combined weight on his forearms. The soft fur of her tail, teasing his bare flesh. Fox tails, amazing things he mused to himself. Slowly, he pulled from her, watching with voyeuristic fascination as the combined fluids of their lovemaking trickled from her. They glowed.

Scooping her up, he carried her to the large bath and they settled in the hot water. They were silent as they washed, no need to speak. The shift of power was complete. Their flesh tingled as the residual light faded away. Silvana now had a channel for her immense power. Ryu was more powerful in turn.

She moved to stand before him, smiling sweetly at him. His golden eyes, fixed on her neck, his fingertips tracing her mark gently. "We quite possibly have saved the world" she whispered to him, a smile on her features. Ryu met her gaze with uncharacteristic seriousness, "There….is…no world…for me…without you" he breathed.

Silvana let hism draw her close against his chest, his lips finding her brow and Silvana felt tears rise. She was loved, and she loved. She offered no resistance when Ryu pulled her to straddle his lap as he lounged against the edge of the bath.

Slowly, eyes locked she sank onto his rigid length for the second time that night. This loving, slower, longer and of mutual satisfaction on many levels. When at last they found their way back to the bed. Ryu fell asleep within her. Unwilling to lose this feeling tonight.
