In the evening, Lariel, while mowing his garden, suddenly felt the presence of new aliens in his city.
"What kind of day is today? Did Rohen bring someone in again?"
He quickly found them in the same square. The officers and their kids sat carelessly by the fountain, surrounded by curious citizens, and cheerfully chatted with the blackwinged.
Avilena walked around them, looking around nervously. Seeing the angry King, she rushed towards him, shouting as she went:
"Lariel, please don't kick us out! The Rulers want to execute us, we have nowhere to go."
The King stopped next to her and smiled at her unexpectedly benevolently.
"Oh, you have the title of Goddess! I'm happy for you!"
Avilena looked confusedly into his sparkling lilac eyes, acutely aware of his attractive masculine energy, which she had not particularly noticed before. She shuddered from the rush of feelings, and her head began to spin.
Lariel grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close, wrapping her in his wing.
"Well, what have you done, dear?" - He asked playfully, breathily, without taking his eyes off her.
Avilena did not expect that the King would react so warmly to her, and fell into a stupor. In order for a woman to achieve even a drop of his attention, she needs to try very hard.
"Do you know how much I hate Ramies, whom you brought here?"
"Please let my husbands stay here. Because of me, the Archons may execute him."
"Is he your husband? What tastes you have! Okay, stay in my city, if that's the case. I'll find a house for your family."
Ramies watched them tensely, catching Lariel's contemptuous gaze.
"How can I thank you for your mercy, generous King?" Avilena flirted openly.
"With what, with what? Pay with what you have," he whispered mysteriously and winked promisingly.
Lariel released her from his hands and walked towards the officers.
They jumped up and stretched out in front of the King, and the inhabitants hurriedly scattered to the sides.
"Welcome to the free city of Ornalion, fugitive aristocrats!"
His voice sounded good-natured and mocking.
"Feel at home, enjoy the hospitality. Let's go, I'll lend you a house."
The officers looked at each other in amazement, not expecting such
cordiality. They enthusiastically picked up their sons and hurried after the
majestic owner of the city.
"Did he forgive me?" Ramies then asked his brother.
"It's unlikely..." Amirel hastened to share his opinion. "Don't cross his path again."
"For some reason he allowed me to stay. He also provides a house."
"I like him as a person," Amirel admitted. "Feminine look but strong in spirit
and body. Undeniably attractive. I can understand why he won your heart."
"How awkward: I tormented him, and he sheltered me..."
At that time, Avilena seemed to be flying with happiness, bustling around in chores and worries around her new home, surrounded by a blooming garden. It was small - two bedrooms and a living room - and seemed a bit cramped for their unconventional family.
They had to spend time and create a large bed that took up almost the entire room.
Ramies, observing his wife's enthusiastic mood, expressed his dissatisfaction to her:
"I didn't know you liked him so much."
"What are you talking about, dear?" Avilena was wary.
"About Lariel! You never said that you were not indifferent to him, but it turned out that you dreamed about him."
"Don't be jealous. You need to relax and get used to the fact that there are open relationships in this city. Everyone has a family and children, but no one is prohibited from having love on the side. So what if Lariel gave me a little hug? It's just flirting! He showed me that he liked me, that's all. This is accepted and considered normal here. Everyone makes signs of attention to someone, and you decide for yourself whether you need intimacy or not."
"But this flirting has turned you on too much," Ramies grumbled.
"Bro, why are you pestering her? Forgot where you and I were invited today?" Amirel intervened.
"Where were you invited?" Asked Avilena. "Will I sleep alone?"
"Local girls invited us to their place for the night, and I won't lie, I've been dreaming about this for a long time," Amirel admitted without hesitation.
"Oh, that's how it is!" Exclaimed his wife, clasping her hands. "Then, dear spouses, there is no need to complain about my addictions. Yes, I've liked him for a long time, and as a new Goddess, I want a very thrilling experience with him. His energy has excited me so much that I will not be able to sleep peacefully."
Ramies gave her a frustrated look and abruptly walked outside.
"Who exactly is he jealous of, you or him?" Amirel muttered quietly.
"Does he have feelings for Lariel?" Avilena was surprised.
"They didn't work out... one day, and you have an affair with this handsome guy. Of course, he feels uneasy..."
Amirel shook his head disapprovingly.
"Nothing! He will relax with the girls and tomorrow will be normal."
Avilena, indeed, could not help but think about Lariel, but did not dare to go to him and sat alone until midnight, dreaming of his embrace.
Captivated by the night's insomnia, Avilena heard a knock on the door and ran to open it. Lariel stood on the threshold, illuminated by a street lamp, and smiled seductively.
"Tired of waiting for you to call. Why are you sitting alone? Your husbands have run away. Do not be shy. I hinted to you. You were thinking about me half the night, so I came myself."
She let him into the house, trembling with excitement that came just from the mere sight of him.
"Where is your wife?" Avilena asked timidly.
Lariel grabbed her into his arms and carried her to the bed.
"She's not alone now, but what should I do? I saw you today and I can't. sleep. It makes me seriously excited."
He began to kiss her so passionately that her energy burst out of her chest in a stormy stream, taking her breath away. A hot wave expanded her from the inside, overflowing, and made her head spin to the point of insanity.
Avilena felt herself floating in the air from merging with him. His fiery embrace consumed her completely. Love with him is something different and maddening. She had never felt anything like this.
