The God & The Shadow

Chapter 72

LORE

Veronica gaped at the opened box and looked up at me. I nodded once, if only to give her proof that it was indeed my gift to her. Her fingers slowly wrapped around the hilt of the dagger, lifting it from the packaging of the box to bring it closer to her face.

"Lore..." She examined it with eyes full of amusement. The blade was darker than onyx and sharper than the rest of her weapons. Its hilt was laced with golden vines and thorns, carved to perfection to fit her hands. Her initials, V.E., were a sight to behold right as the blade disappeared into the hilt and when turned, the single letter P shined in its glory.

I kissed her forehead and watched her marvel at it, "I noticed you haven't used your old dagger in a while. It's still stuck in Florens' bedroom. Do you like it?"

She nodded without looking at me. "It's beautiful. Gods, of course I like it, Lore. I love it. It's exquisite."

"Good," I chuckled. "If you didn't, I would've made Hephaestus do a thousand more just for you."

Veronica turned to me with wide eyes. "Hephaestus made this?"

"I called in a favor. He still has one or two indebted to me, so if you wish for anything more, just say the word."

She absently smiled as she returned to the weapon. Slowly, she lifted her hand and brought it close to the tip of its blade, nicking her middle finger with it. Blood immediately oozed from it and her smile grew even wider when she showed me her hand. "Do you think he can make all my weapons for me?"

"Anything you wish, you will have it. But for now," I gently held her hand locked on the dagger's hilt and slowly brought closer to my arm still covered by my shirt. She frowned when the tip of the blade made contact with my flesh and drew blood from it.

"Let's make sure it's really effective, hm? Use it on me." I whispered to her ear as I dragged the blade and let the scarlet blood stain the white fabric.

Veronica stilled and considered it for a moment, then she pulled me in for a kiss worth thousands of gold and battles. I pushed her down, pulling me along with her, and moved in her. She moaned against my lips, wrapping her legs around my waist and threading her free fingers through my hair.

I moved faster and harder in her. Her breathing grew rapid and loud when I broke our kiss and tore off the shirt she wore. She cursed when my lips moved over the hardened tips of her breasts, slowly making my way to her exposed neck and biting her there.

When I started slowing down, she took the opportunity to push against me and flip us. She smiled as she licked some of the red liquid marring the dark color of her blade. Veronica moved close to me and kissed me once before stroking my cock already desperate to be inside her once more.

"You'll hurt yourself," I managed to whisper when she began inserting me inside her.

She chuckled and moved in halfway. "If you're right and you said that your brother claimed that we were made for each other, then it shouldn't be a problem. Besides," Veronica squirmed when she tried moving lower.

"You could never hurt me, Lore." My eyes widened when she dropped all the way, taking everything in one thrust. She weakly smiled at my reaction and began moving with loud moans in each movement.
