"I'm sorry, Ruby, seriously... I don't even understand what has happened..."
The witch remains obstinately silent while putting some pillows behind my back, turning the bedside lamp on and sitting on the mattress to check the bandage on my hand. She's barely said a couple of words while I packed my stuff helped by my new sisters but she insisted on bringing my grandma's trunk to her apartment to protect it, she left it in the living room near the shrine and made some dinner while I rested on the couch petting Morgan. She doesn't need to talk, actually, I can feel anger and reproach in the energy around her. I haven't felt so embarrassed since I was a child and my grandma caught me after being naughty.
"Drink your herbal tea: it has camomile, apple, orange, valerian, hawthorn and St. John's wort... they'll help you to relax and feel better..."
"I know the properties of those herbs, I'm a druid, for fuck's sake!" I answer angrily taking the cup while Ruby looks right into my eyes with a straight face and clenches her jaw but remains silent, she puts her hand around my ankle and applies a bit of healing ointment on the fresh tattoo carefully before heaving a sigh.
"You aimed your energy at the wrong direction, probably, or your hunter was a distraction in your mind, you hesitated and the accumulated energy was unstable..." The artist explains before leaning her forehead on my knee and closing her eyes. "Damn it, you have no idea how scared I was. I felt you were in danger and my heart stopped for a second, I thought the world was collapsing around me... Don't do it again, please..."
"I'm sorry..." I whisper stroking her hair slowly but she shakes her head slightly while sliding her hand up from my ankle to my calf. "Ruby, I promise... I won't perform a ritual if you're not with me... Please, forgive me... Babe..." Suddenly, the beautiful woman crawls between my legs and lies on top of my body, her lips meld with mines in a soft kiss while I feel her warm skin through the T-shirt I'm wearing.
"Try again..." she whispers and her breath fans my cheek.
"I'm sorry... Please, forgive me..." Her tongue slips between my lips exploring boldly, licking every corner, I put my arms around her shoulders hugging her tight but Ruby's not going anywhere and keeps kissing me.
"Again..." she whispers against my wet lips.
"Forgive me..." Her tongue reaches further this time, deeper, tearing a moan from my throat while her hips start moving slowly, her panties grind against mines sending a shiver down my spine. "I'm sorry, babe... Oh Goddess..." Her pelvis bucking against mine has found the right spot and my back arches on the mattress.
"You're driving me crazy..." her mouth melds with mine again in a filthy kiss. "I want to make love to you all night long but I also want to cover your skin with tattoos, I want to fuck you hard till you beg for mercy and protect you from evil, I want to kick your hunter's ass and I want you to sit on my face for hours, I want to bake an apple pie for you and also take you to the rooftop and kiss you under the moonlight till your lips get bruised... Damn it, you've turned my world upside down..."
"All right, then..." I whisper while her open mouth slips down my neck till finding the spot where it meets my collarbone, I can feel her teeth when she nibbles at my flesh. "Write a list... we'll do whatever you want... Fuck!"
"So wet..." Ruby chuckles when her hand sneaks under my panties and her fingers go deep in my pussy. "I didn't know apple pie was such a turn on for you..."
"You have no idea, wait till I lick it from your nipples... Babe?" The artist pulls away kneeling down on the mattress with her eyes fixed on my face, staring at me with intensity while I watch her bewildered.
"I haven't forgiven you yet after you scared the hell out of me," she whispers with a harsh tone of voice but her mischievous smirks shows me she's joking. "You deserve a punishment... Get undressed and lie face down."
