Feeling...odd

The walk from Pakpao's car to the front door was probably only about twenty feet, but it took Tristan about two minutes to maneuver himself from one place to the other. He just felt drained...tired, and weak, and sleepy, and drained.

And it was pissing him off, because he couldn't figure out why he would have reason to feel that way. Maybe he was coming down with something. He rarely got sick, but with all the changes lately, he guessed that would at least make some sense.

Fumbling with the key Shay had given him, he finally got into the house, and flipped the light switch inside the front door. He had hoped Shay and Mathias would be home...he still hadn't met his sister's boyfriend, and was growing curiouser and curiouser. But the house had been pitch black and quiet as a tomb.

He tossed the keys down on the end table, and made his way to the guest room. Forgetting to turn off the light in the living room, and not even bothering to remove his shoes, Tristan laid down on the sleeping bag, and immediately fell asleep.

Mathias 18 years ago
Mathias nodded. He may not have verbalized it, but the pending date of Shay's surgery was assuredly on his mind. Beyond the immediate consequences for their intimacies,what future effects it would bring also weighed on his mind.

This night is about us,enjoying one anothers bodies he reminded himself.

Any words he might have spoken were forgotten when Shay turned and they hungrily devoured one another with kisses. The shift in positioning had placed him closer to Shay's womanhood. Brushing against her cleft, it's warmth beckoned him,inviting and ready. The brief sensations as they moved together only served to heighten his arousal and Mathias had to remind himself again that speed wasn't the goal.

Heart beating like a jackhammer, he gave a sharp intake of breath as Shay lowered herself tantalizingly slowly onto him.

Heat enveloped his tip as it slid imperceptibly slowly into Shay. The urge to enter her fully, to take her roared in his ears, but Mathias closed his eyes and focused on the sensations of just being inside her,not moving. their kisses slowed, the initial bonfire slowing into a steady flame.

Shay biting his lip drove him crazy - gods how he loved her doing that! But Mathias dared not return the favor,for he had already drank from her and didn't want to take too much. Plus it was quite the turn on to reverse roles like that.

Achingly,slowly they moved together, Mathias entering Shay inch by wonderfully tormented inch. when he was about halfway inside her, Mathias would back out, again taking his time. Every movement produced a gasp or sigh, either from Mathias or Shay, gradually growing together until they became an indistinguishable chorus of deliberate passion
Shay 18 years ago
"I give up...you win!"

Shay could bear the teasing no more, and reaching down to grab Alexi's ass she pulled him up into her, fully, as she wiggled her way downward. She was half laughing, half panting, half going out of her mind with desire.

Now lying still, she could feel her body contracting around his, and the feelings of her beckoning orgasm were almost audible in her ears.


"Not that I mind, you know...well, not that I mind much."

How she was able to retain sufficient thought to speak in full sentences was amazing, with her body throbbing as it was. But without the bit of chatter, she wouldn't be able to prolong the sweet agony any longer, and it was sweet, sweet torture. So, she continued to try and think of other things to say, as she relished the feel of him inside her.

"But one time, Alexi...you will need to let me win this..."

And in the blink of an eye, he moved within her again, her mind went blank, and her body took over.

With all her strength she pushed him over onto his back, thankful he gave way. Had he tried to fight her action, she wasn't sure her passion could have even budged him. But it didn't matter. She was now on top of him, arms free, and he was nestled deep, deep inside her.

Walking her fingers up the front of his chest, Shay kept moving forward until she was flat against him, her breasts smashed into his, and her mouth inches away from where she wanted it. Pulling off him almost completely, she stretched and bit his chin, beard and all, before kissing him. The kiss wasn't meant to last, and as she moved backwards again, and felt him slide inside again, she rubbed her cheek along his hairier one, down along his neck, and onto his chest, until he was well seated inside her again.

Grabbing his shoulders, Shay sat up as far as she could, and began rotating her bottom upon his hips, lifting away from him ever so slightly every few rotations, around, and around, up, and down, harder and faster until he felt like he was going to come right up through the center of her body. Then she felt the shocks striking her core, but still didn't stop. Instead she kept going, and going, and going, until her curled toes began to cramp, that she fell flat against him and heaved, trying to get air into her deflated lungs, and the rest of her pleasantly spent body.

Shay couldn't move. She couldn't open her eyes. She could barely breath. So she just lie there, and would let him deal with her body, however he saw fit.

She couldn't even speak to say so.
Mathias 18 years ago
Mathias would have chuckled,were he not already groaning from the sweet torment he and Shay were inflicting on one another.

"In this,my love,we both win no matter what"

With that he ended this game,entering Shay fully with one thrust. The feeling of being inside her was almost too much to bear,such softness andwarmth but Mathias walked the razor's edge, slowly moving against Shay. Their mouths no longer simply kissed, they explored,searching every inch of the lovers lips,face and neck.

When Shay pushed against he shoulder Mathias did not resist, for in truth he enjoyed it when Shay was astride him. the relinquishing of absolute control was an aphrodisiac and the pace she set never disappointed him.

In pleasurable synchronicity,the lovers moved as one, thrusting and giving - broken by Shay's kisses or Mathias lifting his head to take one of her stiff nipples in his mouth. He felt a familiar tension rising and knew release was moments away. Turning his head slightly, Mathias kissed her arm,tasting the mix of sweat and her perfume.

With a cry,the lovers climaxed together,desperately holding on to one another,riding wave after wave of orgasm together. Ceasing to be individuals they were truly one creature, brought together in pleasure, a union of desire and love.

And so it was a thousand lifetimes later that they lay there, Shay atop Mathias still, no saying anything and yet speaking volumes about their love and devotion for one another.

"Mmmmmmmm...Alexi...I wish I could think of a way to put you in my pocket, and bring you with me to New York. But since I can't, I'll at least have this to dream of while I'm gone."

She eventually moved over to his side, and pulled the covers up over them. The heat was on in the house, but low, and the soft sheen of sweat that covered the two of them was cooling. Once covered, she snuggled up against him, gently moving her leg between his, to nestle there. Her arm snuck across his chest, and her cheek rested in the crook of his chest and shoulder.

"You are so good for me, big boy. You make me feel so loved, so...necessary."

As her fingernail lightly traced circles around his nipple, teasing it along with a few soft hairs scattered about his chest, Shay's words now were said just as casually. She really had no motive other than she didn't want to sleep, and miss any time with him.

And yet though she didn't speak them, she did have a few interesting thoughts creep into her head, while lying there.

She had called him 'perfect' earlier, and though she had said it lovingly, and without any intention of him taking it any other way, she now understood a little better why she felt it. It wasn't really that he was perfect, per se, but more that... well, he didn't need her. And knowing how almost desperately she did need him, it had irritated her just a little.

Alexi had lived years and years without her, and survived nicely. When she was gone, he would go back to living, more years and years, and eventually she would be just a small smile of a memory that would flicker into his thoughts now and then.

Whereas for Shay, she now knew she had merely existed before meeting and loving him. And eventually she would move onto another plane of existence, and he would no longer be with her...how could anything like that be called heaven? How could she spend eternity, and not miss him?

She hugged him even closer, if that was possible, without thinking. But she did put a stop to her thoughts. There were enough other things to occupy her mind without digging up subjects she had no control over.


"Will you be home tomorrow, when I return? It might be early. I think the train gets in around 11pm..."

Talking about the mundane...the every day things...that was where she wanted to stay now, on safe ground with his arms holding her tightly.
Mathias 18 years ago
" I am always with you,love - as you are always with me. Which reminds me...."

He reached under the bed and pulled out a box. Shay's upcoming trip and the ring she got him inspired Mathias to do some jewelry related shopping of his own. Opening the box,he showed it to Shay. Two gold chains held a split coin with the Mizpah blessing from Genesis.


The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent from one another

He pulled out the chain containing the 'thee' portion of the coin. Deftly opening the chain,he held it out for Shay.

"Something a bit more physical for your trip love - it's called a Mizpah chain. Tradition says you give it to a loved one and they will return to you safe and sound. Thus,you must come back all fine - you don't want to break tradition do you?"

His voice was light, but in truth Mathias was worried. Ailments of women were already a mystery and in addition he would be unable to be with Shay. He was glad that Patrick would be there,but it didn't change his feeling that HE should be there.

He held Shay,inhaling her scent, letting it invade every pore,becoming as much a part of him as she was.

"I thought I might go out for a bit, just to get some air. You know, I'm going to be like a caged animal without you around dearest."

Definitely need to get out,perhaps the Abattoir...

So touched was she by his gift, Shay just let the tears fall, as she turned so he could fasten the fine chain around her neck. Once done, she turned back to him and all but threw herself into his arms, holding onto him as if her life depended on it.

"Thank you, Alexi. I will wear it forever, and if they try to take it from me in surgery, they'll hear words that would make even you blush."

Coming back to him was a given. There was no way she had ever let herself think otherwise...it was the 'all fine' part she had no control over. But she had a lot of faith in her doctors, and the procedure was one that had been performed thousands of times without problems.

She then fastened the other chain around his neck, and kissed his half of the coin.


"Well then, if you aren't home, I'll wait up for you. Not that I would have much choice. I don't like sleeping in this bed without you anymore."

A condition she recognized when he had been away with the rest of the Tacharans, on their raid.

Totally exhausted from the evening, but smiling, Shay was finally warming up as she again tucked herself against him. One last touch of her fingertip, down his cheek, and a brief kiss goodnight, and she was on her way to sleep, until the clock woke her in a few hours.


"Good night my love, until tomorrow, when I can hold you like this again, I hold you in my heart."

Patrick Tristan O Mannon 18 years ago
Tristan was a mass of worry. He hadn't wanted to be the one to call Mathias, but he knew someone had to. Shay sure couldn't.

Once he spoke to the doctors, this last time, and they assured him everything was going to be fine, he decided he had better just get the call over with.

He had taken Shay's cell from her earlier, as she asked him to call Mathias then. He had looked at the pink crystal studded phone and shook his head at his sister.


'Shay, I'll use the pay phone...really.'

But she had insisted, and since the phone number was preprogrammed he finally relented. Now he was glad he didn't need to look up any numbers or try to remember them. He just wasn't cut out for this heavy, emotional stuff...Shay was the one who always took care of that.

The phone rang...and rang...and rang. He thought Mathias would have wanted to be home waiting...and had he been, he should have expected them to have returned by now. But the machine kicked in, so Tristan quickly tried to get everything into his message.


"Hey Mathias, it's me, Tristan. Listen, Shay had a problem in surgery...she lost some blood that they didn't expect, and found she didn't have as much as they thought she should have to begin with...don't ask me, I don't understand that part either, but the main thing is she's okay...she just can't leave to come home till in the morning. So obviously I'm hanging around here, and as soon as she's released we'll be on the train home.

I haven't seen her, or been able to talk to her yet, as they were putting her into ICU for the night...but again, they said not to worry...they were short on beds, and that was the main reason for that. Well, that, and they wanted her there while they gave her blood."

Tristan hadn't believed everything the doctors had told him, but there wasn't anything he could do, but trust that they were taking care of his sister. He did believe that she was stable...now...it was just the blood thing that didn't make sense to him.

"Anyway dude, don't worry, and we'll see you tomorrow, probably late afternoon, if not sooner."

Tristan clicked the phone closed, and went to slide it into his pocket when he missed and it fell to the tile floor. Scooping it up he noticed one of the crystals had popped off, and no matter how hard he looked for it, he just couldn't find it.

'Oh, well, shit...she's not going to be happy about that either.' He thought, as he headed towards the waiting room, and the big blue chair that would be his bed for the night.

(Tristan in and out)
Mathias 18 years ago
Dammit! was the only thought going through Mathias' head. He hadn't given consideration for Shay's operation,and thus had risked her health. Foolish,inconsiderate whelp! Again he mentally castigated himself.

"Thank you for calling PT, I appreciate the information. Of course I am going to worry, but that's only natural right?" He chuckled,hoping it would disguise the amount of concern in his voice.


"Give her my love please and tell Shay I'm missing her. I will see you both tomorrow then - again thanks for calling."

Hanging up the phone,he sat there in the growing darkness of twilight. However unknowingly,he had put Shay's life at risk. This did not set well with him,and Mathias needed to get out. It felt like the walls were closing in on,his breath coming in ragged gasps.

Yes, perhaps the night air would do him some good. Perhaps visiting The Abattoir would do him even more good...
