The Righteous Path

Three Words

Lilith woke to the smell of fried eggs and a pain in her hip from not moving all night. Waters mask had pushed up, showing his stubbled chin and strong jaw line. His facial hair was dark, contrasting to his fair skin. They must normally hang their masks in their bunks, she thought. She had never seen their faces, something she thought about often. It was part of the draw and the apprehension. Perhaps even the guilt that she felt. She had slept with these men, but wouldn't recognize them on the street.

He snored softly, his arm flung over his head and his leg still hanging over the edge of the bunk. She ran her fingers over his chest, which had a patch of hair over his firm muscles. This was the first time she had ever woken up next to someone and found it to be a nice experience. It felt intimate and personal. An experience that she had longed for. Her hand traced his hair, past his belly button and to the tent in the blanket. She blushed slightly, the urge to touch it making her lips turn up and her heart to beat a bit harder. After a moment of contemplation, she slid her hand under the blanket and gently wrapped her fingers around his shaft. Stroking from base to tip, she marveled at the softness of the skin and the increasing firmness. Before she could enjoy the experience any further, the bunk curtain under them slid open, followed by swearing.

"Fuck Water!" Alpha stood up and meet eyes with Lilith. She froze and blushed deeply, realizing the compromising position she was in. Then Water made the situation worse.

"Good morning to you too, Lilith." Water muttered in a sleepy voice, the feeling of her small hand wrapped around his morning erection causing it to harden further. She jerked her hand away, sitting up and hitting her head on the ceiling above them. She gasped, gripping her head and laying back.

"What is going on!" Omega yelled from above them.

"Water is getting a morning handy." Alpha laughed and pulled his pants on, then his shirt.

"No! It's not like that!" She yelled, which woke Water up completely. He fixed his mask, yawned, and rolled out of bed, naked and now fully erect. She pulled the blanket over her head, hoping to melt away. Every interaction she fumbled though added to her frustration.

"Can I have one too?" Omega snickered, jumping down from his bunk and walking out to the main cabin in his boxers and mask.

"No one can have one!" she scolded them from under her blanket cave, debating if she should just go back to sleep. Eventually she rolled out of bed and walked to the main cabin. Water was in the shower, Air still in bed. She kept her eyes down before noticing a guitar beside the couch. Grabbing it and looking it over she pulled the pick out of the strings. She was still wearing Alpha's jacket, looking like a child playing dress-up. Lilith then sat down on the couch, fumbling awkwardly with the instrument. Alpha sat across from her, assumed by her clumsiness.

"Do you play?" He asked in a slightly condescending voice. Her emerald eyes fluttered up to meet his, a coy smile turning her lips. The morning sun hung low in the clear winter sky, her brown hair glittering in the amber hues. Her presence made him grin.

"Oh, no. Not really." Lilith shrugged but couldn't hold back her grin. She played a few cords, making some mistakes, her fingers slipping. He chuckled and sat back, enjoying the show. She hummed and played softly. Omega and Earth both watched her as well, Earth still cooking and Omega leaning against the kitchen counter. She then sat up straight, repositioned the guitar and began to play Jigolo Har Megiddo, one of their more overtly suggestive songs. Alpha's smile faded as he watched her.

"I am the one who preys on weak." She sang, playing the guitar beautifully. "I offer everything they seek." Her eyes meeting Alpha's again, this time filled with amusement. She continued to play and sing, the ghouls watching her in shock.
