1 Month Later

Ava and Ries had been training together since that day down at River Lumen. Ava found she had nothing to be worried about as Ries's devotion to her was absolute. She was glad it had gone much better than expected. She was glad that she didn't have to keep this part of her life from Ries anymore. Tonight, the full moon, was the celebration of her twentieth solar return. Eva, Janan and Angelina spent the day with Ries, Hilarid and Favian making arrangements for the celebration. They had assigned Myla and Arrden to keep Ava company and away from the arrangements they were making. Myla and Arrden took Ava into town where they took her to her favorite bakery and then to Arrden's favorite tailor to do a few fittings and buy some clothes. By the time they left the tailor's all three of them had more outfits that they'd planned for. Arrden blamed it on Ava who'd insisted that if she was going to be getting new garments, then Myla and Arrden would have to as well. Arrden and Myla managed to keep Ava in town until evening when they finally went back to the Lucian mansion after Favian had sent Arrden a message telling him they were ready.

"Surprise!" Ava's family screamed as she walked through the front door. Ava's heart skipped beat, startled. She hadn't expected that. There were so many magical beings in the house, she had never seen so many of them indoors. Most of the time whenever she saw them it would be outside. The mansion was beautifully decorated and the dining table which now looked much bigger than its usual size was brimming with delicacies. Ava greeted her loved ones one by one, embracing each one and expressing her gratitude for the feast they'd arranged for her. Once she was done, Eva, Angelina, Lyra and Myla took her upstairs to help her get ready. Angelina and Eva had already prepared a warm bath with special ingredients and oils laid out beside the bathtub. When she was done, the ladies helped her get into a beautiful fitting violet gown with a golden sparkle that matched her eyes. The silky gown hugged her curves perfectly, the sleeves were long with open shoulders, the neckline plunged into a deep v that was partially covered by golden mesh, the back had a deep u-plunge that went down to her lower back and the skirt of the gown had a long slit that ran up to the middle of her thigh. Her godmother applied some sparkly violet mica on her eye lids, some dark kohl to line her eyes and a magenta colored cream on her lips. Her mother Eva brushed and braided her long red curls into a long thick braid, leaving out some strands lose around her face. When that was done Lyra and Myla added some beautiful flowers into her braid and handed Ava a pair of comfortable golden wedges to complete the outfit. Eva brought forth a mirror with a wave of her hand, standing behind Ava with a teary smile. Ava's jaw hung slack with surprise as she took in her reflection. "My beautiful darling! You've grown into such a beautiful young woman," Angelina cooed. They each gave her beautiful jewelry to match her outfit and led her down the stairs.

Ries was waiting for Ava at the bottom of the stairs surrounded by her father Janan, Hilarid, Favian, Arrden and some of nympha, sylph, finis spiritus and terra spirituum crowded behind him. Ries was dressed in a beautifully embroidered golden silk shirt dress tucked into pitch black trousers and black boots. When Ava emerged, Ries almost forgot to breathe and felt like he might faint but he couldn't because that would take him away from being able to admire the beautiful goddess that was walking down those steps towards him. He took Ava's hand in his as she came down the last step and led her out to the backyard which was glowing with magical lights. There was a band under one of the willow trees playing pleasant melodies as her magical friends danced the night away. Some of the delicacies had been laid out on a table in the backyard as well as wine. When Ava and her family moved to take their seats, Janan and Eva walked up a few of the steps that led into the mansion to address the merry crowd. "Our dear loved ones," Eva started, clearing her throat and her husband wrapped his arm around her. "We are here to celebrate my daughter's solar return under the full moon. She has touched the hearts of most of us here in ways that cannot be explained except by the love we have for her. She has grown into a wonderful young lady that we are proud to call family and it has been a pleasure and an honor to witness and share in this journey with her. To many more celebrations of sharing in this journey together. To Ava!" Eva called cheerfully, raising her cup of wine to the crowd before her. "To Ava!" The crowd cheered loudly as Ava looked to her parents and the family around her, tears welling up in her eyes and her hand over her chest as if to try and contain the emotions that felt like they would burst out of her chest.

Ava had so much fun making merry with her family out in the backyard before they moved the celebration back into the mansion. It was close to midnight and she'd danced with just about everyone. The wine was starting to get to her as she danced with Ries for the umpteenth time, giggling endlessly as they conversed. Ava suddenly had the urge to be outside with her bare feet on the grass, so she grabbed Ries's hand and rushed outside, taking off her shoes and throwing her hands up into the air. Ries followed suit, taking his boots off and wrapping his arms around Ava. "I feel like I'm going to fly," Ava whispered to him, giggling as she did. "I think that might be the wine talking," Ries said with a low chuckle, his gaze fixed on the beautiful Ava. A few seconds later he felt his body being tugged upwards only to look down and realize Ava's feet were off the ground and her gaze on the moon. "What are you doing?" He asked. He wasn't so sure a tipsy flying session was the best idea. "I'm not doing anything, it's just happening," Ava said with a slight slur. Sure enough, in a few seconds, they were floating in the air; Ava pulled by a force he didn't understand and him pulled by Ava because there was no way he was letting her go. Suddenly Ava's wings popped out and her body started to emit a golden glow. The tattoos that were visible glowed the brightest. Ries didn't know if it was because of the fact that he was holding Ava but his wings sprouted as well and his marks started to glow as well as he felt a rush go through his body. Ava's golden eyes glowed as a golden orb different from anything she'd ever seen appeared over her head and rushed through her body, causing the light that she emitted to become blinding.

After a few minutes Ava and Ries floated back down to the ground. Whatever that was had effectively sobered both Ava and Ries right up. Ava felt like something had changed within her and so did Ries but Ava had other plans as she grabbed his hand and started flying up. They flew high beyond the stars and then stopped to watch the galaxies before them. Ries had never flown this high before. The view was breathtaking but there was nothing more beautiful to him than Ava. Ava could feel the heat of Ries's stare burning into the side of her face and she turned to face him. "It's time," she whispered as she gently cupped his face with her hand and kissed him. Ries wasn't sure he understood what she meant but he couldn't think straight with her lush lips on his. "Come on," Ava said taking Ries's hand and flying them back to her room, getting in through the window. Ava kissed Ries with a passion that seared his insides and left him breathless. He swept his tongue into her warm mouth, curling it around hers as they kissed.

Ava slightly pulled back and started to unbutton his dress shirt. "Can you help me take this off?" She whispered seductively, biting her lip. Ries took her hands in his and turned her around, guiding her to stand in front of the mirror. Ava waved her hand putting up a sound proof barrier around her room. Ries kissed the nape of her neck, his warm fingers gently brushing down her spine as they reached for the zipper, pushing down. He kissed her shoulders and the curve of her neck as he slid the dress off her shoulders, his gaze firmly fixed on her face. "Look at me," his husky voice was firm, leaving no room for argument. Ava's eyes that had been closed in pleasure snapped open. Her eyes glowed. "I need to touch you. Can I touch you amica mea?" Ries whispered in her ear as his tongue traced its outline. Ava simply nodded, she wasn't sure she could find her voice. "I need you to use your words deliciae," he rasped. "Yes," Ava whispered trying to resist the urge to close her eyes as Ries's fingers swept down her spine lightly causing tingles to erupt from the point of contact and spread through Ava's body as he sucked lightly on the curve of her neck, his tongue grazing over her shoulder.

His hands ran across her waist and his open palms traced over her abdomen as he peppered her neck with light kisses. Ava moaned at the sensation feeling a surge of heat pool in her stomach. His hands slowly moved up her body and Ava hissed as he cupped her bare breasts, his thumbs grazing over her taut nipples ever so slightly causing Ava to arch her back to lean into his touch, feeling his hardness press into her through the fabric of his trousers as he groaned. He wrapped one of his hands around her throat turning her face towards him has he captured her lips in her heated kiss as his other hand ran over her hip. Ava's core pulsated in pleasure and anticipation as his tongue darted into her open mouth massaging her tongue with repetitive strokes. Ava turned her body to face him as they kissed.

"You're overdressed," she mumbled as she untucked his shirt, undoing the buttons swiftly in a hurry to feel his bare skin pressed against hers. Once his shirt was off, he undid his trousers and let them fall, pooling at his feet, his lips never once parting from Ava's. He stepped out of his bunched trousers as he wrapped his hands around Ava's waist pulling her close to him. Ava moaned in appreciation as she felt his heated skin pressed against hers, his hardness pressing against her abdomen. Ava ran her hands over his chiseled chest and his muscular back as she kissed him passionately.

Ries leaned down, wrapping his hands around Ava's thighs and lifting her as she wrapped her firm legs around his waist. He walked to the bed and knelt, gently placing Ava on the edge as he kissed down her neck to her shapely breasts. He ran his tongue around her nipples a few times before he took one into his mouth, moaning at the sensation, his fingers tracing around and pinching the other lightly at first then flicking it with his thumb.

Ava couldn't help the loud moans that escaped her throat as she dug her fingers into his dark curls, throwing her head back as she pressed into him. Ries kissed, nipped, licked and sucked her nipple lightly at first, his ministrations growing firmer each time. Ava ground her pulsating wetness onto the bed as the tingles of pleasure ran down her body straight to her aching core. Ries moved his mouth to her other breast giving it the same service as Ava moaned. He finally pulled back, moving up to kiss Ava's plump lips for a moment as his hands pushed her thighs wider apart, caressing along the firm muscles of her thighs down along the curve of her calves before running back up and gently pushing her to lie down and placing her calves over his shoulders. He stared at her weeping core for a moment before leaning forward and breathing in her sweet scent causing Ava to draw in a sharp breath as she felt his well trimmed beard graze the inside of her thighs. "Look at me deliciae," Ries's husky voice found its way into her ears, his warm breath breezing over her as he kissed her wetness lightly at first then firmly causing her soft moans to grow louder. He ran his tongue firmly from her sensitive bud down to her opening, pressing slightly and moving back up, repeating the motion a few more times before he placed his open mouth on her, covering her wetness and sucking lightly as his tongue ran up and down, stopping momentarily around her bud to draw circles on it.

He moaned as he pleasured her and the vibrations of his moans added to the intensity of her pleasure to the point of aching. Ries plunged his tongue into her as he massaged her pulsing bud his thumb causing her to cry out. He was so hard he felt as if his thick member would ultimately burst as he watched her face twist in pleasure from between her thighs. Inferna! He wasn't sure he could take much more. His thrust his tongue into her slowly at first then faster, moving his other hand up to cup her breast and knead gently. Ava writhed under him in pleasure, her fingers digging hard into his shoulders, moaning and whimpering as his tongue and his hands worked her over until she trembled in a shattering release while Ries lapped at and sucked every drop of her sweetness into his mouth.

Ries pulled his tongue out and licked at the wetness around his lips. "You're so delicious, deliciae," he rasped. His eyes darkened even more than they already had as he held her gaze before capturing her sensitive bud in his mouth while he gently pushed a finger into her tight core. Ava's hips bucked off the bed and she whimpered at the sensation. She felt like waves of electricity were running through her body from her core. His finger moved into her in short slow thrusts, slowly going deeper with each thrust as his tongue flicked and sucked at her bud. Ava couldn't help it when her eyes fell closed and she saw stars behind her lids as his thrusts grew faster, causing another overwhelming release to wash over her. Ries was close to bursting as he felt her walls spasm around his finger, clenching tightly around it. Ava must've had the same thought because she gently tugged at his curls, urging him to move onto the bed with her. Ries wrapped his hand around her waist and placed her higher onto the bed as he climbed and hovered over her, kissing her lips heatedly as they swallowed each other's moans. Ava ran one of her hands down his abdomen, slightly brushing her fingers over the weeping tip of his thick hardness causing him to gasp in her mouth as his hips bucked forward in response. Ava ran her fingers down his length and wrapped her hand around it. He was so thick that her fingers couldn't completely wrap around him. She wondered if his cock would even fit inside her at all as she tugged gently then moved her hand up and down his length, causing his hips to drag back and forth pressing harder into her hand as they both moaned out loud. They could not only feel their own pleasure but each other's on top of it and it was maddening. Ries couldn't take much more of her strokes and he gently grabbed her hand, placing it above her head as he dragged his length up and down the length of her wetness and her hips bucked up to move in tandem with his, pressing her wetness against him. Ries stroked her a few more times before he heard her husky voice, laden with lust, whisper into his ear. "Move higher, amica mea, I want to taste you before we continue." His cock jerked harshly in response and he obliged, moving over her with his knees at the sides of her shoulders. Ava caressed his hardness with her hands causing it to jerk even harder and she watched, entranced, as she imagined how it would feel to have him jerk like that inside her.

Ava parted her lips and darted her tongue out across his tip, tasting the tears that dropped from there and moaning before she ran her tongue down his length with Ries moving his hips to make sure she got all the way to the base. She licked up and down a few times before she wrapped her lips around his head and sucked lightly before taking more of him in her mouth. Ries moaned loudly as he gently pushed into her mouth. Ava ground her hips into the air at the sensation his movements gave her. Ries moved slowly at first then his thrusts grew faster, more urgent, going a little deeper each time. "That's enough for now," he said as he pulled out of her mouth unable to take any more and moved back down, taking her tongue into his and sucking as he kissed her. "Are you ready amica mea?" He whispered breathlessly. "Please, I need you," Ava breathed. She was a bit nervous but her desire greatly exceeded her nerves. Ries stroked her wetness a few times, grinding his hips hard against hers before using the tip of his cock to press into her bud then slide up and down her weeping sex. He circled and flicked her sensitive bud until he felt her pulses grow stronger the way she did when she was about to cum and lined up the tip of his cock at her opening as he replaced it with his thumb over her bud, pressing firmly. "Cum for me deliciae," he groaned as he pushed into her slowly while she cried out her release, the wetness from her core now gushing all over his groin. He broke through her barrier causing her to gasp and he paused to give her time to adjust as he circled his hips. "It's okay amica mea, you're okay. I'll take good care of you, I promise," he cooed into her ear, licking her neck. After a few moments, the sting she'd felt subsided and she lifted her hips urging him to go deeper and he obliged, pushing deeper the pausing after each push, circling his hips to stretch her walls around him until he was fully lodged in her to the hilt. Ava couldn't believe all of him had fit in her. Ries ground into her in circles then slowly dragged himself back out before pushing in again. Ava moaned out loud and weaved her fingers into his dark curls, gently bringing his lips to hers. Ries groaned into her mouth as he felt her sex clench around him tightly, her pulse thumping all around his cock. His thrusts slowly grew faster as she bucked her hips up at him silently begging for more. He tucked his hands beneath her and fiercely grabbed her cheeks as he started to pound into her while his tongue thrusted into her mouth at the same pace. Her hands were on his back, her nails digging into him. He swallowed her moans and whimpers just as she did his as they made love, his pace switching between hard, fast thrusts and slow, gentle thrusts every now and then.

"Please... More," Ava mumbled breathlessly into his mouth, wrapping her legs around his waist, making him lose control. He pushed deep into her and flipped them over so she was on top. He wanted to see her face as she took him in. "You feel so good pulsing around me like that deliciae," he groaned as her used her hips to bring her down onto him. Soon Ava had her hands on his chest as she bounced onto him, taking all of him before moving back up as she moaned at the sensations from the friction. It wasn't long before Ries flipped them over again, grinding his hips into her in circular motions causing her to cry out and her sex to clench tighter around him. All senses escaped him and he lifted her legs onto his shoulders and rammed deeper into her than she'd felt before, pounding into her as he cooed words of encouragement to her in between his groans. "Oh amica mea, I love the way you're taking me in. I've waited so long to be buried inside you like this," he cooed. Ava was close and they could both feel it. "No! Not yet!" He whispered sharply and pulled out completely.

He turned her over onto her stomach, lifting her hips and placing a thick pillow under her, spreading her legs and settling between them as he hovered over her. He pushed his entire length into her gently, dragging his cock in and out of her as if he wanted her to feel every electrifying sensation that she made him feel. Ava moaned into the mattress and he moaned into her skin as he softly bit her shoulder and sucked at her neck. Ava could barely take it and she bucked her hips back at him trying to get more friction. "Use your words deliciae, tell me how you want me to please you," he rasped into her ear. "Faster! I need it faster!" She groaned breathlessly. "Your wish is my command," Ries muttered as he rammed deep into her, grinding his hips then pulling out to his tip and ramming into her again, picking up his pace. Ava cried out as he pounded into her, hitting spots inside her in that position that she didn't even know she had. Her sex started to pulse faster and harder around him and he moved his hand around her to settle onto her bud.

"I want you to hold it for me amica mea, hold it until you can't hold anymore," he grunted in between his powerful thrusts as his finger pressed into her bud and rubbed her there, flicking and lightly pinching over and over as his thrusts grew faster and more ferocious. Ava could barely contain the pleasure she felt as he moved inside her, teasing and working her sensitive bud at the same time and she cried out into the mattress beneath her. "Oh, Ries!" She cried, chanting his name over and over again like a prayer. Ries pounded harder and faster into her, increasing the pace of his finger on her bud until she screamed. Her sex clenched and pulsated around him violently as he relentlessly plowed into her, his cock jerking hard inside her as he did. "That's it, deliciae, cum for me," he rasped. Ava's sex violently gushed around him as he pounded, the sensation and the way she clenched around him pushing him over the edge as he rammed deeper into her in short hard movements, pulsing violently inside her as he unloaded into her with loud groans. He collapsed beside her pulling her onto him as his cock gave a few more spurting jerks. They lay there for a while unable to speak, gasping for breath. Ries was the first to get up, slowly placing Ava onto the bed as his cock slid out of her causing her to gasp at the loss. He went into her bathroom and used his elemental magic to prepare a warm bath before coming back into the room and picking Ava off the bed and gently placing her into the tub of warm water that smelled of sweet oils as he got in as well, facing her.

Ries washed Ava attentively with a soapy cloth and she washed him. Once their bodies were sufficiently soaped up and scrubbed down, Ries turned Ava to face away from him as he sat them both down into the large tub. He ran his hands over her breasts and abdomen, her legs, finally settling down between her thighs, his thumb teasing her sensitive bud as he thrust his middle finger into her while he used his other hand to rinse her, his mouth latched onto the curve of her neck as he sucked on the soft skin there.

Ava's head fell back onto his shoulder moaning as one of her hands reached back and stroked his already hardened cock. It wasn't long before he lifted her by her hips and brought her down onto his cock as he pushed up into her sharply, whispering their love to each other as he began to move. Soon enough he was thrusting into her while she bounced on him hard and fast. As their mutual climax encroached at the horizon, Ries lifted himself onto his knees, one holding Ava's hands over her head at the edge of the tub as he pounded into her with unbridled abandon while the other found her bud and flicked, rubbed and pinched until she shuddered over and over again, crying out as orgasm after orgasm ripped through her. By her fourth release, he was ready to join her as he pushed up onto his feet and drove deep down into her mercilessly until she shuddered again, her sex milking him and pushing him over the edge into his own climax. When they were done washing and dried up they went to bed and fell asleep, their limbs tangled around each other.
