Book 3: The Love of Fire & Rain

Chapter 11: A moment alone

A month passed and Atlanta was finally better.

After spending a few days with the boys however Atlanta was exhausted again and Solaris choose to take the boys to the Sahara for the day to sled down the sand dunes and swim in the Oasis spring and eat a lunch of fresh fruit. Inferno was glad for the break he was just as exhausted as his wife. He was currently in the palace's hot spring spa that had a (Do Not Disturb) sign hanging from the doorknob. The palace servants and guards knew to never open the door when they saw that sign because of the intense sauna like heat that radiated from inside the room could knock out a man for a whole day. They knew Inferno was taking a rather hot steam bath today by noticing the steam that crept out from under the door and into the hall.

Inside steam enveloped the entire room in a blanket of white as Inferno lounged within the pool. He could survive in water so long as his body touched a surface made from lava rock and the water was boiling hot. The hot spring bubbled in a boiling hot bath of scalding heat and steam. He couldn't see anything beyond the edge of the bubbling spring due to the steam blanketing the room in an impenetrable layer of fog and that was just how he liked it. He closed his eyes and sighed in peace. He soooooo needed this. As he lowered his chin into the water, with a deep sigh he suddenly lifted himself back up into a sitting position against the ledge when he heard the sound of a splash.

He opened his eyes and saw his wife through the foggy haze on the opposite end of the hot spring wearing a thin bathrobe. She slowly removed it from her body in a very alluring fashion and Inferno's pulse quickened at the sight of her in a tight fitted two- piece swimsuit that was give or take a few thousand or more centuries before it's time. She smiled playfully at him and spoke in a flirting tone.

"Mind if I join you?"

Inferno eyes were glued on the curves of her body his mouth opened but failed to form any words as he absentmindedly nodded his head in reply. Atlanta giggled at his reaction and slowly entered into the water. The water would have scalded anyone with four-degree burns but not Atlanta. Inferno's heart was beating faster within his chest as she slowly swam over to him and he groaned in desire when she suddenly straddled his hips and placed her hands firmly upon his barren chest.

"The servants said you came in here to relax," She then frown playfully and caressed his jawline with her right hand.

"Shame on you Inferno, you didn't invite me." She leaned forward and whispered into his ear. "So...mind if I join you?"

"I..." Inferno gulped and spoke clearly. "I don't mind at all."

Atlanta smiled and kissed him. Inferno gasped as if he were being stabbed over the rough hard kiss she gave him as her hands clung to the sides of his face while her knees locked against his outer thighs pinning her hips against his. Atlanta was moaning in desire to be nearer to him again as she kissed him. Inferno's hands clung to her waist and wrapped possessively around her body and he growled mid kiss as he bit her bottom lip and Atlanta pulled away panting and then smiled. "Inferno..."

"Yes my dear? What is that you want from me?"

Atlanta slowly leaned forward and whispered to him, her lips were just inches away from touching his. "Oh I think you know exactly what I want from you Inferno. The question is will you give it to me after so long?"

Inferno instantly knew what she was referring to he growled in love and grinned. He then flipped her and pinned her body up against the smooth ledge seat. "Yes. I. Will."

He then kissed her roughly and rather hard with a fiery passion and love within his soul while his hands grabbed at her hips and the swimsuit bottom. Atlanta moaned loudly in pleasure as her husband devoured her lips and her body with his passionate kisses and frenzied love. The steam thickened around them over the passion of their love and the heat that was radiating off them both, a steam that enveloped the room in a thick blanket of white as Atlanta moaned in bliss.

Later on, the steam was gone and the hot spring was deserted. Inferno and Atlanta were now lounging on the daybed, dressed, and facing one of the grand windows gazing out into their beloved kingdom. Atlanta was kissing his jawline as she placed her hand upon his chest. Inferno pulled her closer to his side and smiled when she placed her hand on the side of his face and kissed him on the lips. They broke the kiss and smiled.

"I love you Inferno."

"I know and I love you too my dear, forever and always."
