Torrential Love

Chapter Forty-Two

~DUNCAN~

Duncan picked up a grape from the bowl on the table and popped it into Yael's mouth. She was sitting on his lap, her hands around his neck. Smiling sweetly down at him, she placed a fond kiss on his nose.

"You're right," Duncan said. "Heaven is a place where you are there."

She giggled. "Yes." Then she picked up a grape, bit into it before putting the rest into his mouth.

"How is your body?"

"Hmm," she said, wiping some juice from his lips with her fingers and licking them. "Need another beating."

"Is that so?" Duncan half smiled. "Maybe I should tie you to the bed this time..." he said, running his nose along her jawline. He breathed her scent in, a field of dandelions. Tracing his nose down her neck, he stopped over her collarbone to press his lips lightly on the skin there.

"Oh, fuck me all night long - "

The door swung open. Lucy stood at the doorway, her mouth hanging open the moment she saw Yael sitting on his lap and his mouth close to her skin. Lucy dropped her bag to the ground and stepped into the home, staring at them in wonder with her palms facing up.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked with a surprised smile..

"What do you think is happening?" Duncan said.

"You started something with Yael?"

"Obviously."

Lucy clapped her hands. "Yes! This is great!" Yael nodded. "How did this happen?"

"I was in denial for a long time," Duncan admitted. "But I realised how much she meant to me whenever I was close to losing her. I would lose all my faculties, and that has never happened before. I have never felt as powerless, yet powerful at the same time as when I am at her side."

"I wish I had been here to witness everything!" Lucy said. "I am so glad to see you happy again, Duncan. Thank you, Yael."

"Welcome," Yael said.

"We plan to move to her country soon," Duncan said.

"Sure, I will visit when I can," Lucy told them. "I can't wait for your lives to begin!"

"Thank you," Yael said with a smile.

"So?" Lucy asked with a grin. "I'm guessing I no longer need to help you with those baths?"

Yael grinned sheepishly. "No."

Lucy laughed. "I bet you guys take real long baths."

"Just making sure every part of her is clean," Duncan said, nudging his nose against her cheek. "This girl is very, very dirty." Yael laughed and shoved him slightly. He caught her at the waist to tickle her, and she hopped off his lap, running away.

"Oh my god!" Lucy said, pointing at her. "You can walk again?!"

"Oh, yeah," Yael said. "I can again. Duncan help."

"Congratulations on your recovery!"

"I can even run a little," Yael said.

"I can see that," Lucy said, gasping. "I am so happy for you."

"Thank you."

"Man, I wish I never left on that trip. So much has happened."

Duncan's expression turned serious. "Well, on that note, I have something else I need to catch you up on."

"What?"

"Let's step out. I need you to do something for me in the garden."

"Alright," Lucy said.

"Wait here, Yael," Duncan said to her.

Yael nodded with a smile, and soon, Duncan, and Lucy left the home together without her.
