Engraving Memories.

"She can't come...it's best she stays here"

Eric's heart went for his friend as he saw the pain he was going through. "Have you told her yet?"

"I have asked her about staying before but... she does not want to stay back. She's bent on following me"

"I did not expect her to do otherwise. She is extremely sturbon. Just as you...and she loves you. Maybe too much, its clear in the way she looks at you"

Daryn stared daggers at his friend but also agreed because he felt the same way. "I am supposed to leave in two days. Selene demands it. Once we leave, the next plan is to find others and find a way to stop Alexis"

"Yeah... Its been a while i heard from the crew" Eric gave a sad smile. "I hope they are still breathing"

"Alexis might be strong but that doesn't mean he can take down everyone before the tournaments even starts"

"True" Eric nodded in agreement but still had that look in his eyes.

Both men continued their walk back to the shed that afternoon for lunch. Certain and ready for the task ahead of them.

Daryn adjusted his shoulders suddenly feeling uncomfortable for some reason. He hesitated a little before speaking again to his friend.

"Um...you would also need to find somewhere else to sleep tonight_Maybe your almost completed home...it looks a little settling now, all you need are furs and you are good for a night sleep there"

Eric stared at his friend in surprise. "So its that night i get kicked out huh" he smiled teasing his friend.

"Yes it is... if you don't mind, i need to stay alone tonight with my mate"

"Oh i don't mind at all. Infact I'll be taking the fur now when we get back so i don't need to return tonight"

"Thats better" Daryn nodded

Darla took the used plates to the kitchen section and started washing them. Daryn appeared by her side and assisted with washing the utensils she used to cook.

"Aren't you going to go assist Eric" she asked

"Eric doesn't need me anymore. Well not at the moment...so I'm staying here...with you"

Darla gave a knowing smile. "Thats why he left with his sleeping furs" she murmured.

Daryn heard her and grinned and continued what he was doing. They stayed silent after.

Darla had finished washing hers first and when Daryn said he could handle the remaining, she walked to the closet and took out her towel.

"I'll be back" she said and started for the back of the house. Daryn watched her as she opened the back door and left. Leaving the door half open. He dropped the washed utensils in their place and followed her to the back. Taking off his shirt on the way.

Pushing the door wider so his size can pass, he walked to the lake. Darla had already taken off her clothes and settled in the lake. She looked at him and smiled then motioned him to join her in the water which he answered immediately.

Taking off his remaining clothing he entered the lake completely nude giving his mate a premium view. He swam to her side staring into her eyes. Those enchanting eyes.

"Magnificent" he whispered.

Daryn caressed her face and removed the wet hairs sticking to her face. "Gods. Darla you are beautiful." She smiled.

She traced the sparse hairs on his chest lightly. Making lazy lines to his neck then caressed his neck and pulled him down for a deep kiss. Daryn opened his mouth and she delved in exploring every corner of his mouth till she found his tongue and they twirled together. She sucked his tongue gaining a groan from him and he heated the kiss.

Daryn held her waist below the water and pulled her close till there was no space between them. He slide one hand along her spine cupping her neck and deepening the kiss further but it wasn't enough. There was still space between them and he needed her.

He held her tighs and lifted her till she was at the same height as him. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs and arms around him. They stayed like that for sometime kissing and caressing each other in the lake under the afternoon sun until Daryn started walking them to the edge of the lake with Darla still glued to him. Kissing him as if her life depended on it. Daryn groaned his pleasure.

When he felt solid ground, he layed them on down with Darla below him. He stopped kissing her lips and went to her neck. Planting hungry kisses as he trailed from her neck to her shoulders till the depression on her chest as his hand wandered callously over her body. Cupping, groping, squeezing, and pulling her closer. If he could pull her into his body and keep her there he would have done so.

He trailed kisses along the top of her breast sliding lower so he found the peaks of his destination. Standing proud and hard. Calling for him and he was happy to answer

He latched onto the nipple of her left breast giving it the needed attention while he groped and fondled the other.

She whimpered. He was a thirsty child that had just found this god given oasis to quench his thirst. His oasis.

Darla gasped as she held him in place burying her fingers in his hair. Daryn wrapped his tongue around the nipple. Tracing around the areola then bit the tip occasionally as she moaned

He let the left breast go with a pop sound then latched unto the right breast. Running his mate wild with pleasure was his goal. Her breast were already sensitive but they still poked his face begging to be savoured.

He squeezed the sensitive nipple of the left breast at the same time he sucked the right..hard. Darla screamed. Shivering under him unable to contain so much.

"Daryn..." she moaned his name begging him to not stop. To continue driving her to that crest of pleasure she so wanted to reach.

He groaned with the nipple still in his mouth. The vibrations tingling her already sensitive nipple. She shivered again.

Daryn trailed the free hand on her waist ever so lightly over her skin going lower..lower to her center. He traced a line from her stomach, over her navel till he got to the top of her honey pot still refusing to touch that bundle of nerves.

Darla's breath came fast as she stilled in anticipation. He let go of her breast and looked into her hooded pleading eyes. A naughty glint in his.

"Please Daryn. Don't tease me". She wrapped her arms around his neck and moved her waist so his fingers may find her already glistening spot.

Seeing the frustration in her eyes, Daryn urged to release her of her want. Her kissed her with the passion burning in his heart and answered her plea.

He palmed her spot. Shoved a finger into her entrance while his thumb made circles with her clit. Darla shivered. Moaning and pulled his head closer to deeping the kiss. Whimpering in his mouth.

Daryn moaned with delight and shoved another finger into her sweet spot and circled faster. Her moans escaped their lips where they joined. She wasn't able to hold on anymore.

Daryn circled more and even started to move the fingers in her cunt slowly. Then he started finger fucking her as her cunt leaked with more juices.

Darla screamed climbing that crest to paradise and pleasure that Daryn was diligently driving her to. Then he topped it a notch groping her sensitive tits and squeezing her nipple. The sudden pain sent jolts into her like lightening and with the combination of the stimulation, she came apart.

Her eyes rolled into her sockets as she fell over the edge holding Daryn tightly not letting go. Afraid if she let go, she would get lost in the cataclysmic waves of pleasure

Daryn pulled his fingers out letting her ride her climax. Then he adjusted himself. Fitting himself in her middle and drove his throbbing member into her.

They sighed in unison as they joined as one. Feeling each other in ways that they couldn't explain. That they hungered for.

Daryn brought a hand to her waist pulling her closer as he moved his waist to meet hers both connected at the middle. His breathing became fast as his need for her increased.

They locked lips and Daryn increased his pace. She wrapped her legs around his waist and hanged her arms around his neck moving her hips in rhythm to his strokes.

He braced himself and increased his strokes. Pounding into her all the need and desire he had caged in all this weeks. His need for her that had almost turned him crazy. All that passion. All that desire. He unleashed them on her at that moment.

"Darla" he gasped her name. "My love"

"Daryn"

They flowed in the same rhythm. Dancing to their desire for each other and their moans and groans the music. The sound of flesh hitting flesh rang loud and clear as they entwined together under the sun.

Soon Daryn began to find his climax and he pounded harder pushing Darla along with him. Her body began to tighten around him. Trying to milk him of every love he had to give. He pushed harder calling her name as both of them climbed their climax.

With one last pound he shoved himself deeper into her and came taking her along with him.

"Gods! Darla"

"Daryn!"

He unloaded into her and slumped. Careful not to put his whole weight on her. The both of them stayed like that trying to catch their breaths after their mind blowing connection.

A few seconds later, Daryn wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest as he began to stand. Darla fell limp in his arms but she was still wrapped tightly around him not letting go.

Daryn took them out of the lake and started for the house. He found the towel on the way and used it to cover his mates body.

When they were inside, he dried her body and his, still not releasing themselves of each other.

He took them to the bed and they layed together. Seeing his mate was already tired, he tried to disconnect himself from her so she could sleep easily.

"Don't. This feels right" she murmured in his neck and inhaled. Memorizing his smell. "I don't want to be apart."

He kissed her hair. "I don't want to either"

They cuddled together the whole afternoon in each others arms.
