Just a little taste...
“You’re chamber is very beautiful, Kibuka. I’m impressed.”
“Thank you.”
He led her to the extra chair placed at his table and sat beside her giving Astari a pleased smile.
Astari poured them both a goblet of wine blushing proudly and then left the chamber silently.
She took a long sip from her goblet and savored the wine smiling. “This is delicious, your human chose well. So, tell me, what will you do with yourself for those thousand years, Kibuka?”
His confusion showed on his handsome features as he took his own sip. “I don’t understand.”
“I want to know what you do between wars, Kibuka.”
He nodded and sipped his wine again. “Because we do not track time in the ways mortals do I usually pay little attention to it and it goes by very slow for me. I stay here and enjoy the gatherings that Mukasa has. He has many gatherings and every now and then I take a human as my servant and dally with them. When Mukasa summons me for my purpose, I answer his call and intercede where he commands. It was only lately that I have been paying more attention to the passage of time. Mukasa always has humans here that serve us and when they grow too old, he sends them back to the people. We reward them greatly for their service to us.”
Luneria nodded and continued drinking her wine.
Kibuka sighed and raised his goblet to his lips again. “It would seem that I have noticed that he has been changing servants much more frequently and not because they have displeased him, but because their time here was up.”
“How long does he usually keep his humans?”
“Twenty human years,” he answered. “He takes them when they come of age. After about twenty years or so he tires of them. He makes sure he returns them before they are too old so they can still mate with another human if they choose to. Between that and the gatherings that Mukasa holds here, I realized that I was in need of a companion.”
“I see.”
“I’d like you to be that companion, Luneria.”
“Why me?” she asked seductively and crossed her legs showing her leg through the long split in her dress. She saw the undeniable look of lust in his eyes and it fed her own lustful behavior. “Surely, the brother of the supreme god can have any goddess he wants,” she added in a teasing tone running her finger over the circular top of the goblet.
He kept his eyes on her legs and attempted to speak, but found he could not find his voice.
She watched him take a quick drink as his attempt at speaking failed and continued. “My mother has told me much about you, Kibuka. You are as beautiful as she has suspected, in face and body, being the brother of the handsome supreme god. Is there no goddess in your midst who would have you?”
He cleared his throat and finally found his voice. “I believe that there is, but I have not pursued them.”
Her shock showed. “Why not?”
“If they had not peaked my interest after all this time living among them, I see no reason why that would change now that I am looking for a life mate.”
She nodded in agreement.
He put down his goblet and stood pulling her to her feet then took her goblet as well. “You would be happy with me, Luneria. I would do whatever it took to make it so. I loved you from the moment I saw your reflection in the sky,” he added pulling her into his arms. “I could spend my endless life in your arms bringing joy to your body. Allow me to do so,” he added brushing his lips across hers.
He brushed his face across her cheek on the way to her neck where he breathed in her scent leaving a soft kiss on her slender throat.
“Seeing you and having you in my arms has only strengthened my love for you. You are the reason the humans have the saying ‘the beauty of a goddess’. You are the epitome of beauty and grace. You cast your spell upon me at first sight, I already belong to you.” He lifted her chin so that their eyes could meet and caressed her face. “All that I am will be yours,if you’ll have me.”
She touched both sides of his face and smiled. The choice to be with you is not hard one, Kibuka. I will have you for my life mate. You are honorable and I believe you when you say you will make me happy.”
He pulled her into a passionate kiss, silencing anything else she would say. She returned his kiss with equal passion showing him that there would be no more words. Leaning her backwards, he held the kiss as they fell gently onto the bed that had materialized beneath them. His large body completely covered her voluptuous frame. His touch was firm and strong, and yet gentle at the same time as he caressed her exposed skin. His hands and lips were everywhere at once, he wanted to touch and lick and kiss her all over.
Her chest rose and fell faster and faster as his kisses glided across her large breasts. He sat up enough to pass his hand across her and her dress faded away. With her breasts now exposed to him, he hungrily attached himself to one. Luneria’s moans were like music to his ears as he kissed his way across to the other breast.
