Fallen

Chapter 31

Lisandra stretched her arms out above her head as she gazed out over the trail her father had told her to follow once Zion had arrived, she didn't know the name of the park this trail split off from, only that he said it led to an old abandoned clearing. The soft black leggings and white tank top allowed for flexibility while her hot pink sweatshirt kept her warm, though it staved off cold she could tell the days were beginning to warm and she could smell rain on the wind. Her grandfather and dad were going to start her training now that she felt better, though it had taken a few days for her to recover she felt almost rejuvenated and ready to go.

She flexed her powers around her in focused and slow movements to test how far she could reach out with them, so far she could only manage a good ten feet or so but it was rapidly increasing the more she used them and practiced. Her body stiffened as she felt something brush against her energy behind her and whirled around, her body bouncing off an incredibly hard chest causing her to stumble back in alarm. It took her a moment before her powers reacted and zeroed in on the one that had snuck up on her while her head tilted back, the familiar feeling she knew all too well surrounding her as she looked into two beautiful pools of gold.

"Zion!" Had she not been so happy to see him she would have smacked his chest for sneaking up on her like he did from time to time, beaming up at him she threw her arms around his neck and leaned into him, noting he wore a pair of grey sweatpants and a tight black shirt with her favorite band's logo on the front. "One of these days I'm going to be able to know when you're coming." He gave a small chuckle at that and his hands found their way to her waist, a faint smirk gracing his lips.

"One day, just not today." He pulled her in close so they were flush against each other, his gaze lifting to look at their surroundings briefly. "Where are Faron and Elios?"

"They're waiting for us, I wanted to make sure you found us, so I stayed behind." Lisandra rested her chin on his chest and looked up at his handsome features as he turned his golden eyes back to her. "Also, a message from my dad, he says to keep your hands to yourself around me except for lessons." She said with a small laugh. A slow wicked grin crept across his features as he bent his head so they were close.

"I could think of a few lessons that I could show you." He rumbled low, sending a shiver down her spine, she felt the heat creep into her cheeks as she shook her head.

"He means while you're around him. Though I wouldn't mind a few pointers." Lisandra's power curled around him and caressed his skin as she said it, his gaze darkening slightly as he let out a low growl.

"Little succubus." She pulled away from his grasp and turned to start walking down the trail while grinning at him over her shoulder.

"It's a shame I have different lessons to learn right now." She gave him a little wink and watched as his lips parted just the slightest at her before his expression deepened with a hunger she knew too well, his long strides quickly catching up with her as she continued to walk. Before she knew what was happening he had her back pinned against his front with his head bent low beside her ear.

"I think I'm going to teach you a very important lesson when we're finally alone princess. So look forward to it." Her breath hitched in her throat as her body responded to him like a burning fire that had just been doused with gasoline, heat pooling low in her belly as her want for the man behind her rose. Before she could even utter a word he had released her and she was forced to stand on her own, her heart racing inside her chest as she raked her gaze over him. It took her a few moments to get her heart to calm, by which time he had gained a head start in front of her. 

Lisandra jogged after him to catch up which was quite difficult with how long his legs were, finally reaching him she grasped his hand in hers and twined their fingers together. Glaring up at him for the tease he only sent her a charming smile that had her heart fluttering, turning her attention to the trail so she wouldn't be distracted by the handsome man beside her. Once they had reached the clearing though she smiled brightly at the two angels that were just finishing up making a large circle out of big rocks.
