Julia Lelieveld and the battle with the underworld

~25~

My body responded immediately and I kissed back forcefully. We lay close to each other, I felt my heart beat faster. I grabbed him tightly and ran my hands over his back. His muscles rolled under my hands. His hand had wandered to my buttocks. Instinctively I crossed my leg over his. He rolled on top of me and broke our kiss. My desires screamed, I wanted more of this. I couldn't think clearly anymore. He leaned over and kissed my neck, I threw my head back for better access. He went down slowly. And suddenly I felt it again, my powers came back. I felt complete and everything felt even more intense. He pressed against me and I felt his excitement grow. He broke away from me and looked at me intensely, I pressed my lips to his and the feeling took possession of me again. This couldn't last long enough. Just when I thought that, I felt Lucas stiffen and he broke away from me. "What is it?" I asked him. "Your powers are back, I feel you stronger by the second, I think we have to stop before they find us again." I let that sink in for a moment and nodded. He let out a deep sigh and lay on his side next to me and looked at me. He circled my stomach with his hand. He left a warm trail that only made me want him more. I took his hand and took it off my stomach. "I'm afraid I can't contain myself," I admitted embarrassingly. He shook his head. "I totally understand, come turn around." I turned my back to him and he curled up close to me, he put his arm around me and took my hand and we fell into a deep sleep.

"Good morning." I heard softly in my ear. I slowly opened my eyes. We were still the same as last night. I squeezed his hand and he kissed my head. "Good morning too," I said to him. I picked up my phone and was surprised to see that it was half past seven in the morning. We had a really long night and that felt good. My body hurt a lot less and my powers felt as clearly present again than usual. I sat down on the edge of the bed. Lucas sat up behind me and pushed my hair aside and kissed my neck. I let it go for a moment and closed my eyes in delight. And the moment I closed my eyes I saw Renzo in front of me. Startled, I stood up. He looked at me uncomprehendingly. "Sorry, it's not fair to Renzo. No matter how nice it feels."

I saw Lucas pull his eyebrows together and he nodded gently. He got up and went to the bathroom. Shit, I didn't make him angry or hurt, did I? I just didn't know what to do with this. Renzo had my heart, I loved him. But ever since I lost my powers and helped Lucas get them back, it felt so good too. But that feeling was all I was against. I couldn't cheat on Renzo with his own brother. And the worst part was, if he hadn't stopped yesterday, we would have done a lot more than just kissing. I lowered my head into my hands and sat for a while letting everything run through my mind. "Hey, I understand. It's just so overwhelming, those feelings. I've never felt anything like it. I find it hard to deal with, that kiss just came naturally." He raised his shoulders. I got up and stood in front of him. "It's hard, I don't want to cheat Renzo, but I need my powers and you're the only one who can help me do that. And once we get going, somehow I just can't stop." He put his arms around me and gave me a big hug, I grabbed him tight and we stood there for a while. He gave me another kiss on the head and then let go of me. Was this some kind of goodbye? I looked at him and his eyes were sad, I probably looked the same. "It'll be fine," he said. I nodded and walked to the bathroom defeated.

When we were done we packed our things and walked to the reception, the dining table was set and there were simple sandwiches on it. We ate our breakfast, said goodbye and walked out of the hotel. Lucas grabbed his bike and we continued into town. This one had already come to life. Deftly he drove east of town into an older neighborhood. The houses and buildings were quite outdated and in some cases the windows had been replaced by wooden plates. Lucas stopped in a narrow street. He stopped his engine in a small alley. "It must be here somewhere." He looked at me inquiringly. "What is it?" I asked him. "The property we're looking for is on Earth borders, I think you should have a feel for which property it is."

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"You mean the same borders that Rob has under his house?" He nodded. "Is there an Elementor or practitioners living here too?" He shook his head.
