Davonyé
T disappears to bed, but I stay at the table with Ari. I can hear how stressed out she is. Shit, I'm worried, too. I don't wanna leave her here. I want her with me.
Always.
“Niro gave Carisse your number today,” she says, giving me a look. “I switched the digits, though, so fuck knows who she's messaging now.”
I feel vexed as fuck at hearing that. “Fuckin’ pussy!”
“He told her about you warning him off me, too.”
I pull out my phone from my pocket, but it disappears out of my hand.
“It’s past late to be worryin’ about that shit. It ain't even important right now.” She sighs and looks down at my hand as she holds it. “I don't wanna let you out of my sight.”
Her face is hidden by her curly hair, but I hear her thoughts turn sad. “Bae... I don't wanna be either.”
She looks back up at me. “I'll kill you if you get yourself killed.”
I smile and so does she. She definitely didn’t think before she said that.
“You know what I mean.”
I raise her hand to kiss it. “I do.”
Her eyes wander over my face. “If you could go any place in the world, where would you go?”
Her question throws me a bit. “The only place I've ever really wanted to go, was the Colosseum in Rome. That shit looks amazing.”
She pulls my hand to stand with her and then we appear in the stands inside the Colosseum.
I know from Ari’s thoughts that it's three in the morning here. It's eerily quiet, but you can hear people far in the distance. I look up and around at the dusty stands. The sight around me is so much more spectacular than I expected it to be, and even though the whole place is obviously derelict and heavily damaged, I'm still in awe.
Ariella releases my hand and raises hers in front of her to make a sweeping motion. The Colosseum suddenly looks in perfect condition and is filled with spectators cheering. I look down at the arena floor and see a live gladiator event taking place, with chariots and everything.
Damn…
“It's incredible isn't it?” I hear Ari say.
“Yeah... How the hell you do this?” My eyes are still fixed on the fight below, and everyone else seems oblivious to us being here.
“Aura showed me the night I got my magic. We went to Egypt. I haven't done this before by myself, until now.”
She links her fingers in mine and we watch the gladiators kill the shit out of each other until only one remains.
The crowd cheers and then the Emperor stands to address them. Ari waves her hand again, and the Colosseum returns to darkness and silence. She turns to face me. “Don't try be a hero out there, Davonyé. I know you gonna wanna try run shit and prove yourself, but you ain’t gotta prove shit to anybody.”
I blink, surprised by what the fuck she’s just said. “I won't.”
***
I wake up before Ari, but that's cuz she was up most of the night. She only went to sleep two hours ago.
We'll be leaving in a couple of hours, even though I don't want to. I gotta find Clarisha, though, so I ain’t got the choice to stay behind with her.
I look at her pouty lips and listen to her breathing quietly. She's so damn beautiful. This is the only time she feels peace, but I know one day she won’t need sleep anymore. I hope once she gets used to all this Elder shit it will be easier for her to deal with and it won’t stress her so much.
I hate seeing her so tormented.
I let her sleep for another half hour but then I know that time is slipping away from us, and I wanna love her before I go. I rest my hand on her lower back before tracing the curve of her ass to slip my fingers between her inner thighs, seeking her pussy.
She moans as she stirs and my dick hears it loud and clear. I taste toothpaste in my mouth and roll my eyes. She's always thinkin’ of the little things.
I rest a kiss on her shoulder and then climb over her. “Give me some Baby Oil.”
A bottle appears in my hand, so I pour some over her lower back before dropping the bottle onto the bed beside us. I smear the lotion over her back and shoulders, pressing my thumbs and palms into her skin as I go. She moans louder when I find her lower back, and her ass rises against my dick.
“Your ass is the perfect shelf for my dick,” I tell her, smirking.
“We must be made for each other, then,” she replies, and I see her smile on the side of her face.
I run my palms along the sides of her waist, then up over her shoulders before massaging her there. I feel her body relax the more I caress her beautiful brown skin and my dick throbs with wanting to be inside her.
“Y’know, my ass makes a better blanket than shelf,” she suddenly says.
I smell her arousal but also heard it in her voice. “Is that a hint for me to push it inside you?”
She smiles harder. “Maybe.”
Hell, if she wants my dick inside her, she can have it. “You know you only gotta ask.”
She jerks her hips up. “Then, I'm asking.”
I run my hands down her back, then further, spreading the oil over her round ass and in between so I can tease her there. I hear her surprised inhale, but I ain't tryna fuck with her there right now. She asked for my dick in her pussy, so that's what she’s gonna get.
I keep her legs closed between mine and spread some oil between her thighs and ass again. Then I grab my dick at the base and push the tip into her pussy so just the head’s in. I pop it in and out, watching as her essence makes my crown glisten more and more every time I pull it out.
The sight of that shit turns me the fuck on.
She wiggles beneath me, her breaths heavy as she tries to force more of my length inside her. “Whyyyyy?” She moans.
“Why what, Beautiful?”
She turns her head a little more to give me a quick glance. “Why you gotta tease me for?”
“I ain't. You asked for my dick and I'm givin’ it to you.”
“Barely.”
I lean forward to let my hands slide up her back and my dick sinks a little further inside. Her pussy’s even tighter in this position and my dick jerks every time I feel her tighten.
“Baby… that feels so good...”
I agree.
I rest my chest on her back, holding her arms with mine, and feel the oil between our bodies as I fully sink inside her. I groan and she gasps, her walls shuddering like fuck, but I begin to roll my hips and she’s soon moaning my name.
“Fuck, Davonyé...”
Her little whimpers encourage me to go deeper, so I make sure I grind my hips against her ass to make her feel all the dick I got. I run my tongue behind her ear and then bite the side of her neck. I know she likes that shit cuz she pushes her ass against me, but soon cries out when I unexpectedly touch them depths. I feel her body trembling against mine and fuckin’ lose my shit from how good she feels, and smells.
I pick up the pace, overcome with a desperate need to get as much as me inside her as I can. I swear when she clamps her walls down on me again, a growl slips out of my throat.
“Oh, shit... Oh fuck, that sound you just made was so damn hot.” She starts to cum and I feel my heart racing.
I swear this pussy is gonna make me change.
“Don't do it,” she moans, still cumming... “Shit...” She gasps and then she suddenly escapes from under me and I'm lying on my back on the bed.
I stare up at her. What the fuck?
She lowers to wrap her lips around my dick, and I swear my legs shake cuz she sucks me so hard.
‘Cum in my mouth, Baby... Let me taste you.’
“Fuck, Bae...” I swear I see stars as I cum. My balls tighten so damn much, and I give her nuff juice.
She swallows it all and then appears above me. “You can't change when we fuckin’, Baby…” She smiles. “You tryna put a baby in me?”
I slap her ass and she gasps. “I couldn’t fukin’ help that shit. Your pussy is too damned much.”
She smirks but her eyes light up like she was full-blown smiling. “Well, it’s lucky Aura gave me a warning then, huh? So I can see it coming.”
I raise an eyebrow. “She did?”
“Yeah. Aura said we might get carried away.” She smiles but then kisses me, and I taste her and myself on her tongue.
I roll us over to pin her beneath me and then bury myself back inside her. “I’m about to wipe that smile off your face.”

The three of us are quiet as we make our way to the main house. Ari’s feeling anxious and sad about me leaving without her.
‘You'll just have to come visit me so I can take care of that pussy.’
I feel her eyes on me as I open the door for her to go inside her parents’. ‘Don't talk shit like that to me right now. I'll take you back home.’
‘I wish you could.’
‘Davonyé…’ My name sounds more like a warning, though.
We meet everyone in the back yard. They’re all sat at the table, and I hear Amarey in the kitchen, sleeping.
“Are you all ready to go?” Ariella asks.
They all nod.
“We'll be there as soon as we can. You've got Mom's blood?”
Clarence nods.
“Alright. They'll have tranquillisers, so make sure Jackson uses that resin she used on you all the last time.”
“I got it covered, Princess. Madna and Jackson are already back at the holds. Just make sure you take care of you all here.”
“I will,” she replies.
“I'll keep your mother updated on what we find out, and we'll contain the situation as much as possible once we find them. Strato said it looks like Maximus has moved closer to the boarder to Canada. There’s about fifty miles of woodland in that area and they're already working on getting a scent.”
“Okay.” Ariella's eyes swirl suddenly before they settle, and I see flickers of wares fighting in fields of snow. “Be prepared to fight. How many men are you taking?”
“Around six hundred,” her Dad answers.
She nods. “That should be fine…”
I suddenly feel uneasy about going to war with other wares, but the thought of finding my sister washes away my trepidation. I gotta find her for my mom, and my sister. I ain’t about to let them down. I’m just praying she’s managed to stay alive…
“How you two feeling?” Clarence asks Tinashe and me.
“A little nervous,” I answer.
“Scared,” T says.
“That's natural.”
“We all feel the same,” Victorio says.
“Right,” Demetrius agrees. “The last time shit like this happened, it didn't end well.”
There’s silence, and through Ariella's thoughts, I know they're thinking about the war her parents died in.
I'm definitely starting to see more through her thoughts...
‘Full moon,’ she says. ‘That’s why this morning was so intense. There’s one in two days. Your first.’
Right, the first full moon. I forgot about that shit.
“The first flight left an hour ago, ours leaves in two. Two hundred wares left on foot early hours of this morning and have almost reached the coordinates.”
“When do you think you'll make a move?” she asks.
Clarence shakes his head. “I dunno yet. We need to find them first. Our range is longest, so once I find them, I can send for everyone else. We have the advantage because I'll sense them before they can us.”
“Alright. You should all eat before you leave.”
“I’ll cook,” Addae says, getting up from the table.
Cecile stands, too. “And I’ll help.”

Everyone grabs their bags and start making their way back outside. Ariella pulls me aside and rests her hands on my chest. ‘If you need me, I'll come.’
I nod. ‘Don't worry about me, Ari. I'll stay close to Clarence.’
I see the glisten of tears in her eyes. ‘I'll always worry when you’re not with me, because I'll always feel protective over you the most.’
‘I know, cuz I feel the same.’ I lean down to kiss her, holding her tightly against me.
She looks up at me when I release her, the tears falling halfway down her cheeks before she brushes them away. “I love you.”
“I love you, too, Bae.”
She steps away and I head into the woods with T and the others. I look behind me, though, before I get too far, and see Ari standing with her Mom and Aunt, watching us.
‘You are fine as hell,’ she says, and I see her smirk.
I turn around and smile. ‘And you are beautiful.’
