First Night in Greece

Sunshine: *I couldn't believe it, we were standing right there in front of the bar, I had felt you pull me to you. Before I could even ask what you wanted, or where we could go I felt the world drop away from me. Both hands clutched at your shirt, eyes closed, and my legs felt like they were about to give out from under me. Even after I felt like I was back on solid ground again I didn't open my eyes just yet. I at some point had bitten the inside of my cheek, and I tasted blood from it. Taking a rather deep breath, the first thing to hit my senses was the smell. It was all masculine, all Z. Straightening up I relaxed my jaw, he was at least here with me….wherever here was. That at least helped me out, and I realized he must have done what he showed me earlier. Curiosity finally got the best of me and I opened my eyes, raising my head my eyes found his face. I could see he was waiting to see what exactly I would do. Without hesitating I raised up, brushed my lips against his before whispering.* Where are we?

Sunshine: *It took just a few heartbeats for what was said to click. Greece, he brought me to Greece...his home. I was speechless for the first time in a very long while. I took the fact of him bringing me here as a good sign. He fulfilled my wish of wanting to travel, but I always figured it would be somewhere inside Louisiana still. Clothes? Oh yes I only had what I was currently wearing.* You can take me back, just like that? *As I spoke the word ‘that’ I snapped my fingers. Shocked still at the fact I had managed to come across someone who wasn't even normal for me. I couldn't help but smile for the first time since we made the disastrous choice of going to see my father.* You want me to stay here, with you? *Why did I have to sound like a hopeful child? It wasn't what I intended, but it couldn't be fixed now. Pulling Zebulon back to me I gave him another kiss, this one with a little more force behind it. After a moment I turned away from him to see what exactly was behind me. My mind working in figuring out how long I'd stay, but it got pushed aside the moment I saw the balcony.*

Zebulon: *She surprised me that she wasn't freaking out at the fact I've brought her to the other side of the world. Nodding and smiling as she asked about me taking her back basically the same way I brought her here.* Yes I can, it's the way I travel all the time. *I didn't elaborate anymore than I needed to, I was going to let it sink in on its own with her. I didn't want to overwhelm her with information all at once about me. Giving an even wider smile as she asked me if I wanted her to stay here. Of course I did and it was odd that I did because I liked being alone but for some odd reason spending the last couple of days with her, I couldn't see myself spending anytime away from her.* Yes I do and as I said earlier, I can take you back anytime you want. *Waiting for her reaction to that, she surprised me when she leaned in giving me a much more intense kiss and I wrapped my arms around her returning the kiss with just as much force. It was almost like I couldn't get enough of her. I almost didn't let her go when she pulled away but I couldn't help letting an odd grin appear as she took notice of the balcony and it was one of my favorite spots to relax after a long night out.*

Sunshine: *Briefly forgetting that I was not alone I walked towards the door that separated me from the balcony. Getting the door open and stepping outside. The air felt great in my skin, and I could smell the salt of the water that was further than I could see. But close enough to be able to catch its scent. It was beautiful and already I could feel the urge to sketch the scenery that was here before me. For now that would have to wait. I ended up turning a full circle while looking up at the sky, it shouldn't be any different than that of my own back home but it was. It looked so much clearer and oddly enough bluer. Nah that couldn't be it, but wow, now this was amazing. My attention was pulled back to the figure that was still inside.* Zebulon, this is absolutely amazing.. it is no wonder you live in this city.

Zebulon: *Watching as she went outside to the balcony out back, grinning as I watched her take in the scenery. I let her check it out without my interrupting her as she did so, the quietness of the spot and the everything about it was relaxing. As soon as I heard her, I walked out to join her on the balcony.* This is where I spend most of my time at night while I'm here. It's amazingly quiet and helps me think things through and I've been living here for a long time. *Looking out towards the ocean as I moved behind you, I wrapped my arms around your waist. I never thought I'd be sharing this place with anyone and yet here I was standing with my arms around her enjoying the fact.*

Sunshine: *I had turned back towards the skyline, this was just too much. I felt his presence before I felt his arms go around me and I couldn’t help but lean back to him. This shouldn’t be happening, this crazy instant attraction to a man I really barely knew. But it was there, and getting to be very strong. * Thank you, I know you like to keep to yourself. But bringing me here, just wow. You just fulfilled my dream to travel. *Turning my head I raised up to kiss his cheek. Still amazed that everything that has happened since I first met him. He has gone from a very distant and non touching individual to someone who initiated the contact and brought someone into his home. The fact I was standing here on the balcony was more than enough to show what twenty-four hours has done to him.*

Zebulon: *Smiling at her words and knowing this was definitely not something I would normally do, she was right. I do like my space but she kept pulling me to her and I couldn't walk away as I've had before with other females before. There was something different about her and I knew it* Welcome Sunshine and you're someone I don't mind sharing this with. I'm glad you like it, I've called this home for a very long time. *Enjoying the fact she was kissing my cheek and enjoying all of this here with her* We can go back anytime and I won't hold it against you. Just remember I can't stay in your city long. I shouldn't have gone back but I'm glad I did.

Sunshine: I am glad you came back too. I was wondering if I would see you again. I'm not concerned about my things right now but later we can worry about them. You are certainly a unique male Zebulon. *I turned in his arms so I could face him again. My hand came up to caress his cheek before resting there. I was still trying to figure out this instant attraction I had to the guy but right now it didn't matter. It could be figured out later. And for now I would enjoy whatever time he gave me with him. Leaning against him I ran my nose along his neck before whispering in his ear.* I think I am going to like it here.

Zebulon: *Smiling as I heard her words about liking it here. I was never drawn to any other female before and wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. I knew the possibilities of some idiotic God or other being trying to use her against me was there. Pushing those thoughts to the side as I look down into her eyes and was going to enjoy this with her* You can say that again, I've been around far longer than most beings here. What would you like to do first?

Sunshine: *My first initial response almost flew right out of my mouth, which would have been to say ‘You’ because well let's face it I wasn't going to be celibate as long as I was around him. After feeling my cheeks turn pink I moved to shrug a shoulder.* I am content with staying indoors tonight and getting familiar with your home so I'm not getting lost walking around. Maybe tomorrow if we are up to it you can show me what's outside the walls of your home. We aren't too far from the water are we? *Pulling away I grabbed his hand and moved to a couch we could both sit on.* I have to ask though, no sudden surprises I need to expect right?

Zebulon: *Seeing the pink on her cheeks had me giving her a smile, I ignored that she blushed and moved to the couch and sitting on it before I even responded to everything she said* We can stay indoors and as for the water, it's just down the trail off my back porch. Not a long walk down it, I usually go swimming during my downtime. *Tilting my head slightly as I watched her sit down next to me, trying to figure out what she was expecting to be here other than me* I'm the only one that stays here and no one else dares to set foot in it unless they are given permission to.

Sunshine: I would need a suit, but I'd enjoy getting into the water. *I relaxed myself into your side, listening as you answered all my questions. Knowing I wouldn't be waking up in the morning with anyone around other than you caused me to relax.* That's good to know then, it'll be different having it be quiet. *I rested my head on his shoulder my own eyes drifting closed. I hadn't realized the fact that the meeting with my father had worn me out the way it did. I didn't want to go to sleep, I wanted to enjoy this more and explore more of the house.* This place is an artist's dream, I could sit out on your balcony all day and sketch. But first how about you show me the rest of your house? I feel like I could fall asleep and I want to see this place first. Possibly a shower too.

Zebulon: It’s really quiet compared to where you live. It’s why i like living here and away from everyone's thoughts. *Nodding as I listened to her talk about sitting on the balcony, putting my arm around her shoulders as she rested her head against me* I’ve got a couple chairs and a table out on the balcony. Just let me know when you are ready for the tour, the house isn't the biggest but it's a bit bigger than your place. *Looking down at you with a chuckle* Unless you’d rather go to sleep right now. *Removing my arm from her shoulder as I got up holding my hand out to her, knowing she was wanting to take that tour before going to sleep*

Sunshine: *I had started getting comfortable with your arm around me the way you had it. Listening to your voice it alone could so almost put me to sleep. Forcing my eyes back open as you stood I placed my hand in yours.* Tour and shower first, then I'll be happy to sleep. *I used you to stand, pulling on your hand as I did such. Still managing to give you a smile before saying.* Lead the way Z, I'll be right behind you. *I felt myself waking up just a bit, if nothing else just to see the rest of this place. I tried to not assume but hoped that he and I would at least sleep in the same bed tonight.*

Zebulon: You already seen the kitchen and back patio on your way to the living room. *Once on your feet, I lead you toward the stairs pointing towards the front entrance and hallway to the lower bathroom* Front door and the bathroom is the door to the right under the stairs and closet closer to the door. *Leading you up the stairs, down the hallway. We walked past two spare rooms. Pointing them out and the bathroom up here. Letting your hand go as we entered my room* This is my room, closet is there, bathroom, self explanatory and there is a closet in there for towels and such. It isn't that big of a place. Tomorrow I'll take you down towards the beach if you want?

Sunshine: It isn't that big?! Z you know this is huge compared to my place. It's amazing and yes, tomorrow beach. *The size of the place not that big but still after the size of my apartment to me it was. I slid out of my sandals, moving to pick them up and put them by the door. Just to get them out of the way. My gaze returning to you, and I took a step closer. Bringing a hand up to place it on your chest, but giving you the opportunity to step back if you wanted.* Now about that shower, you care to join me? *Smiling up to you I waited for your answer. Yes, or no it wouldn't matter. I was here, in Greece, with a guy I barely knew. He was surely out of a dream with how well he actually paid attention to me and what I said. So he could flash or whatever it was called halfway around the world. As well who knew what else he was capable of, but I had this want and need to be around him.*

Zebulon: It’s bigger than your place is, yes but I've seen what others have but this works for me. Beach it is for tomorrow. *As soon as her hand was on my chest, I wanted to step back but the urge to pull her against was even more. I couldn't understand the fact she intrigued me enough to have her in my home. Smiling as I pushed the thoughts coming with that one, I gave her a nod and smile* I'll join you in the shower. *I pulled my shirt up off over my head, she took my flashing here in stride but I wasn't about to shock with anymore of my powers for now. I'd show her eventually. So I stepped around her to go turn the water on, letting it get hot as I kicked my shoes off and undid my pants. Watching as I waited for her to get undressed as well*

Sunshine: *I seriously expected him to back away as it took him a moment to answer me. But instead he was agreeing and even taking his shirt off. That was a distraction all unto itself. He seriously had a form I would love to just stare at and wondered if I could get him to sit still long enough to let me sketch him. It wasn't until I heard the water running in the bathroom did I move. My skirt was easy to take off it fell around my ankles the moment the tie was undone. My shirt came off after a few tugs and a brief curse as I had managed to trip and hit the wall. Mumbling I picked up my skirt and tossed it and my shirt somewhere I hoped I wouldn't be tripping over later. Moving into the bathroom wondering if he had finished removing his pants in there, or if possibly I could finish that bit myself. I stopped in my tracks there just inside the bathroom, in garments that would be considered barely there as I found his gaze on me again. The look was a dead giveaway as to what was running through his mind and my body only too happily enjoyed the way he looked me over.* Is the water ready?

Zebulon: *Biting back a laugh as I heard her tripping and hitting the wall. Dropping my pants as she walked into the bathroom in only her underwear, if that's what you could call what she was wearing. Licking my lip with a smile as I slowly looked her over, she had to know what I was thinking. It was going to make this shower a lot more fun with her in it.* It is and you will need to remove those if you don't want them ripped off of you.

Sunshine: Ripped off huh? *I chuckled and stepped closer to him the heat from the water already noticeable and mixed with the heat I could feel coming from Z. I brought a hand up and toyed with the strap to my bra smiling as I let the elastic snap back onto my skin. I recognized the look he had and my body was already anticipating what his touch would do. It was a clear giveaway that tonight there would be little to no sleeping.* I think I'll leave that bit of fun for you to take care of Zebulon. I believe you'll enjoy it far more than if I were to take my time slowly removing them. *Oh yeah I was pushing him, toying with what the possibility of his actions may be.*

Zebulon: *Without second thought I reached over, ripping her underwear off, then letting my hands go up and unhooking her bra with my powers as I pulled it off. Tossing it to the side and backing her up towards the shower as I tilted my head with a smile. Using a hand to open the shower door then lifting her up over the lip of the shower before closing the door behind us. The water hitting my back as I leaned in nipping lightly at her neck as my hands ran down and back to cup her ass and lifted her up against the wall*

Sunshine: *I gasped out loud as I heard the material of my underwear ripping away, only to do such again as my bra came undone when I knew that your hands weren’t there just yet. But the thought ran from my mind as you moved us into the shower and the steam surrounded us. I dropped my head back as I felt your teeth on my skin and the tile against my back. I managed to wrap my legs around your waist, keeping you right there until you decided to pull away. This was incredible and I was getting hooked on the feelings you kept giving me. I let my fingers run through your hair and moved my hips against yours.*

Zebulon: *Growling as you moved against my hips and moving my hands from your ass going slowly up your sides. Tilting my head to give you a quick kiss as I shifted you enough and had you placed right over my cock. Smiling at your reactions to what I was doing and I wasn't about to stop. Sucking in your lip before releasing it, then moving my mouth down to your neck giving it a small nip as I shifted my hips enough so the tip of myself entered you with a growl*

Sunshine: *I was getting lost in sensations, my mind a complete mess and we hadn’t even had sex again yet. Each nip, kiss, and shift of your body against mine pushed my desire higher. I let my head tilt back and slightly to the side, you seemed to really enjoy taking my skin between your teeth there and I surely wasn’t planning to stop you. Not when it was making me want you more than the previous night. My hands gripped your shoulders and the nails dug in as I whimpered as you just barely were inside me. Clenching those muscles, trying to get you to move, wanting you completely inside me. Filling me as the only way you have been able to do.* Z please *I paused as I had shifted my hips trying to get you to move. Instead you had stayed put and I succeeded in tormenting myself. The steam had surrounded us and effectively blocking out the rest of the room. The image of us doing this on clouds flashed through my mind because of it and I moaned. Just from what that image could mean and right now to me it meant that we were going to be in for a very long night.*

Zebulon: *Hearing your plea and feeling your nails digging into my skin and I wasn't about to continue tormenting us both. I thrust my hips forward and filled you completely before I started moving my hips at a quick pace. Also noticing you tilting your head more to the side, I smiled against your neck before letting my teeth drag across your skin before I bit down on a spot. I was enjoying this moment with you more than I have any other time with anyone else. It was like I couldn't get enough of you, I was hooked and addicted completely with you. I knew you said you were tired but I wanted to spend the night making love to you here in the shower, in the room on the bed, I even wanted to take you on the porch. With those thoughts alone, I picked up my pace even more. Taking you harder and faster than the last time we had sex in your apartment*

Sunshine: *I was seriously grateful for the fact that the wall was there behind me, supporting and keeping me upright. Because once I felt you inside me and you began your pace, not even my nails would have been able to hold me upright. The fact that you kept biting one of my more tender spots of my neck was not lost on me, it kept sending sharp electric currents through me. This was driving me, I wanted to return a few of those nips you had been doing but I would wait. I didn't want to risk you stopping what you were doing. Your hips moving faster than I thought possible was bringing me to my release and I could already tell it would be different, possibly stronger than the ones from before.*

Zebulon: *Holding you up against the wall, I continued thrusting my hips against yours at my pace, feeling myself getting closer to my own release as you clenched down around me. Growling out at the immense pleasure building up inside me and the tingling sensation that was going up my back. Tilting my head to the other of your neck as I held my own release off longer.* Come for me Sunshine. *Whispering against your neck before I scraped my teeth along your neck until I was just below your jaw and nipping it*

Sunshine: *I cried out as your teeth tugged against my skin, my grip on you letting up as I could not hold back what my body was feeling. My head falling back hitting the wall as my hips met yours one last time. Your name leaving my lips as I almost screamed. A strong current ran through me starting from where we were joined and ran up my spine. My whole body tensed when my release hit, eyes closing as it happened.*

Zebulon: *Smiling as you said my name and continued moving and let myself finally hit my own release as I held us both up as my breathing was ragged and my head rested on the wall behind you* Showering will be fun if we do this every time. *Chuckling low and waiting for you to attempt to stand on your own before I reached back for the wash cloth and the soap to start lathering it up. Once I got the it ready, I started washing your body for you. Purposely taking my time and enjoying the sounds you made as I did*

Sunshine: *I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to walk, much less stand after that. My feet found the tub again and I hesitated letting go of your shoulders until I knew I wouldn't fall at your feet.* Everytime? *My mind was still coming back to earth, well as much as it usually is, as you said that and I couldn't imagine passing up enjoying the shower like this again. Especially when I felt a cloth touch my skin. I had to open my eyes then, checking to make sure I wasn't imagining it. You were actually washing me and not hurriedly either.* For a guy who keeps to himself, you know how to go about spoiling a girl. Just remember you are next after you are done. *I grinned with how I planned to enjoy washing you. I jumped and gasped a few times. When the cloth came into contact with some very sensitive areas. I wouldn't even be surprised if there were some teeth marks in some places either.*

Zebulon: Maybe, depends on if you’d be up to it. *Passing the washcloth over your body and seeing some of the bite marks I've left on you. I couldn't help the smile that appeared and the way you hesitated at putting your feet down. Hearing your statement.* I may keep to myself a lot but I'm not completely oblivious to what a female likes and how to keep them happy, *Reaching up to move the shower head to start rinsing you off* I can’t wait to see what you plan on doing, *Putting the wash cloth up and running my hands over your body, purposely moving it over the spots that I knew were sensitive on you. Making sure that you were rinsed off completely.*

Sunshine: *I groaned softly and let my head fall back into the the shower wall as I felt the water more directly on my skin. The sensitivity still there and your hands only continued it to be so. I knew there was no more suds on me, but wasn't about to stop you from the touching you seemed to enjoy as much as I was.* I think you'll enjoy it quite a bit Zebulon. *Cracking open an eye I reached for the cloth. Your hands were still roaming over me and I wouldn't stop you as I moved. Getting the cloth full of suds I brought it up to your shoulders. Starting there I leaned close and placed several kisses along the skin before I even ran the cloth over the area. Moving up to your neck I nipped just under your ear on one side and pulled away as I washed the skin. Slowly lowering myself to my knees the cloth trailed over your chest as I nipped each hip bone.* You are a very attractive male Zebulon.

Zebulon: *My hands still moving over your body as you started with the washcloth and moving it over my shoulders. I slowed my movements as you nipped just under my ear. I dropped my hands from your body as you lowered yourself to your knees, I watched as you nipped my hip bone and knew hiding the fact I was getting hard with you kneeling in front of me. I wanted to see what you were going to do while down there. I saw the washcloth in your hand but my mind went elsewhere. I barely heard your words and smiled down at you* Sunshine you're beautiful and I’m lucky you saw me for me. *Letting my hand run down your cheek*

Sunshine: *I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my lips are your words. This was crazy and extraordinary as well as incredible. I turned my head and pressed a kiss to the inside of your hand before my hands moved along your legs. Wanting to finish this shower before the water got cold. I knew you were hard, it was more than obvious as it was just a few inches from my face. Temptation won out as I parted my lips and flicked my tongue over your tip. All thoughts of sleep replaced by my need to enjoy everything you and I could do together. Without any other abstract thoughts I moved and parting my lips further taking at first your tip then as much of you as I could.*

Zebulon: Fuck me….*Said with a low growl as my head dropped back against the shower wall, my hips bucked towards you. My hands clenched into fists as the pleasure racked my body at what you were doing. Any thoughts of taking you to the bed and making sure you got some sleep had fled my mind as you took me deep into your mouth. A low groan escaped my lips as I opened one of my hands and placed it on your head.*

Sunshine: *I wasn't sure if I had expected you to have me stop or if you were going to let me continue as you placed you hand on my head. My tongue flat under you as I continued, eyes closed as I listened to each sound you continued to make. But the growling is what always got me. Pulling back to where it was just your tip between my lips tongue teasingly flicking over it. Hands on your hips nails slightly digging into the skin as I took your length again. Groaning softly when I felt you hitting the back of my throat.*

Zebulon: *Moving my hand to the back of your head, letting my fingers entangled in your hair and lightly run against your scalp. Looking down at you as you continued with your movements. Sucking in a breath as you pulled back for to you tease my tip before taking me completely in your mouth again. I felt myself hitting the back of your throat and I couldn't help but groan as I felt the vibrations as you groaned against my cock. I felt myself getting close to my release but I wasn't ready for it to happen. So I bit down on my bottom lip as you continued with your teasing, my hips involuntarily bucked forward again.*

Sunshine: *Washing your body was long forgotten my hands sliding along your thighs as I continued my movements, purposefully teasing you each time I pulled back. Tongue flicking over your tip before going back down wanting to see you lose even a small bit of control that you had but at the same time I was ready to move us over to your bed. Pulling back I released you and stood reaching behind me to turn the water off giving you a smile.* How about we take this to the bed?

Zebulon: *My back arching at your movements, my hand releasing your head and hair just before I was about to fist that hand full of hair and pulled your head back. You just kept on teasing and I couldn't help the growl that escaped at your continuous teasing. As soon as I heard you pulled away I almost let a whimper out but I heard your words and nodded in agreement as I smiled and took your hand. I didn't even bother with opening the shower door and used my powers to get us back into the bedroom by the bed* Sounds good to me. *Backing her up to the bed with a wicked smile on my face, knowing what was going to take place now that we were taking this to where we had more room*

Sunshine: *I blinked several times as the very warm air that surrounded us in the shower was replaced by the air that felt so much cooler in the bedroom, not even letting the fact you had moved us again in your own way. The bed was against my calves and my eyes stayed on you. The smile made my heart pound and my body reacted in all good ways. I knew that without a doubt this male was going to be apart of my life, I just didn't know how or why. My hands trailed up your sides before I raised up to kiss you. Positive that tonight was going to be burned not just in my mind come morning.*

Meeting Her Father

@Sunshine_R_ Sunshine: *I almost wasn’t even going to worry about going to get my car and go to the bar, the thought to walk and take as much time as possible ran through my mind. But I knew better. I wanted to get this with them over. Already I was nervous.* Driving will get us there faster, usually he is harmless but we shall see I guess. *Crap I didn’t even really know how to go about introducing him. We weren’t dating, he wasn’t truly a friend. I did though, technically run into him. So maybe that would be what I tell him when he asks how we met. My eyes glanced over to Zebulon as we walked in semi silence. Sometimes I wish that I could read minds, just so I would know what was going on in someones head. Like right now.* Zebulon: *Brow raised at her words about her father being usually harmless, was she trying to ease my mind about him. I wasn't worried but I wasn't going to say that.* Things should be alright, why is him seeing me coming out of your place matter? *Confused on why this was a big deal. I looked around making sure I didn't see anyone that knew who or more to the matter could tell what I was.* Sunshine: Because my dad is different, he can pick up on things. You’ll see. *Getting to my little beetle I unlocked my door and climbed in over the seat to unlock the passenger one. Straightening back up to buckle up before I started the engine.* Also I am sure you noticed but I live above a bar, that my family owns. Zebulon: What kind of things? *My curiosity was peaked to what you were saying and it had me wondering if he would be able to tell I was someone different. I hadn't told her what I was yet do to the fact I didn't think I was going to be around. Pulling the door open once she had it unlocked and climbing into the small car and putting my seatbelt on once inside and I closed the door.* I did notice your place was above a bar but I didn't know your family owns it. Sunshine: *I wish I could explain my dad better but there really wasn’t a way to do such without him thinking I was possibly crazy. I was used to my dad scaring guys off, or attempting to so I was expecting him to try such again.* It is how they watch over me without being too demanding. Besides my rent is fairly cheap. *Laughing I got us headed in the right direction, I already knew that the guy beside me was different, there’s no way he could have found me in this big city his second night in town. I fully expected dad to tell me all about it too once Zebulon left later.* Zebulon: *Nodding as I listened to your words. I knew there was something else there but she wasn't telling me what it was. I figure if she was telling the truth about her dad then I should at least tell her something more about me but without giving everything away.* It's good they watch over you but what kind of things would your dad pick up on? You never really said what. I'm a bit different than most you've probably met before but there's a reason I can't go to that bar Sanctuary. Do you know anything about those who run that place? *Looking over at you with a brow raised.* Sunshine: You mean about them on a personal level? Nope, I just like to annoy the one working the door. He is cute but not my type. *Chuckles and glances over towards you as I was stopped at a red light.* I know you are not normal, for one you chose to come to New Orleans. Two with how big this city is there is no way you naturally was able to find me on your second night here. *Not to mention how he reacted to when she touched him this time. Instead of shying away from it he actually seemed calm. I had never seen how someone could make an entire room nervous, but he did. Just by standing there. If that didn’t make me attracted to him, I wouldn’t know what else could. Hearing the horn of a vehicle behind me had me focusing back on the road while muttering about rude people. Positive that the light had just turned green just a brief moment ago.* Zebulon: I came to New Orleans for certain reasons and as for finding you, I took a chance on starting where I found you last time and where we were going to go the other night. *Nods and smiles as you figured I wasn't normal and I could tell there were other things on your mind but you weren't about to say them out loud. I knew I had to give you something about myself but I had this feeling if I didn't your father would as you pointed out.* I have a feeling you know something about them over at that bar, but you're right I'm not ‘normal’ as you would call it. I'm a lot older than you think and there's things I could do that would blow your mind but would be willing to show you, if you think you could handle it. Sunshine: How far away from where we ran into each other are you staying? *I didn’t buy that line for a minute, even if his memory was almost perfect. No one could remember each little step taken. The comments about being older and these ‘things’ he was willing to show me...That just piqued my curiosity in far too many ways. I was turning into the parking lot before I even answered the remainder of what he had said.* Normal has never had a thing for me, it runs screaming in the opposite direction after meeting. You can bet you will be showing me what you are talking about once we get done with my family. No doubt my brothers are there ready and waiting to see who it is that I have with me this time. Zebulon: You wouldn't believe me if I told you where I’m staying. Let's just say I have my own little place while here, not far from where I met you. *It wasn't a lie and it wasn't the truth either. I wasn't about to tell her I went back to Greece to sleep then came back here. Looking around the area we pulled into, yeah I remembered this and it was just down the alley where I flashed back home after I left here last night. Looking back at her with my brow raised with a small smile at her words.* I'm meeting your whole family because they saw me leaving last night? This will be interesting and I will show you but I hope for your sake that it won't freak you out as they say these days. *Giving a low laugh at your words about about the normal go running. Most avoided coming in my direction when they see me.* Sunshine: No it is a family own and ran place, so naturally my brothers would be there right now anyways helping to stock the place up. *I had already parked the car, engine off and keys in my hand. A feeling settling over me that this was not going to end well.* Be prepared for anything, it never fails that something gets asked to purposefully make you feel uncomfortable. *With that said I got out, still working on understanding why all of a sudden after seeing someone leave my place dad wanted to meet the guy that I just so happened to run into. What did he already know that he wasn’t saying?* Zebulon: *Family owned and run business, fuck me, this was going to prove interesting with her father and her brothers if they were here too. Smiling to myself as I nodded at your words about being prepared for anything. I may need to show you something before we went inside. Sighing as I climbed out of the small car, I looked over the roof of the car.* I'll show you something now and just keep an open mind alright. *Without waiting for you to protest, I took a look around and when I didn't see anyone else I flashed myself next to you.* Sunshine: *Head turned prepared to ask you what exactly it was you were going to show me. I would like to think that I had an open mind and planned to say such. Didn't I technically trust him last night and brought him to my home? Which was exactly what I was about to say but as my eyes settled to where he should have been on the other side of my car he was gone. What in the world? When I felt his presence there beside me, me eyes wide as saucers turned to look at him. I didn't scream simply because I bit the inside of my cheek, knowing my family would come running but I did jump slightly.* What are you?? Zebulon: *Noticing the shock on your face and sighing as I took a step back from you* Maybe I shouldn't have shown you and I told you I wasn't normal, this is part of who I am Sunshine. If you want, I can go. *I took a look towards the door that lead to your apartment and the bar. Putting my hands into my pockets and debating on actually leaving before you decided to reject the fact I could flash from one place to the next.* Sunshine: *It took me a moment to calm down, my heart finally returned to its normal beating.* No, no, I just never would have thought that was something that could be done. I was figuring you meant like empath or something like that. What you just did is on a whole nother level. That's…. Cool how far can you go? *Glancing back to the bar expecting my dad to be at a window before looking back at you with a brow raised.* Wait how about when we are done here you tell me more? Zebulon: *Brow raised slightly surprised about the empath thing came up and yeah I had other powers I wasn't about to bring up at the moment.* Interesting and I could go wherever I want basically but I normally stay within my territory. *Looking in the same direction as you were, I knew they weren't at the window otherwise I wouldn't of flashed myself next to you.* Sure, I'll tell you more later. Sunshine: I'm going to keep you to that. *Before I could second guess my actions I headed towards the door and went inside.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *I shoved open the door that lead me back outside, the air cool to the flush skin of my face. My temper had gotten the best of me and I had said things I probably shouldn't have said. I could hear the heavy footsteps f Zebulon behind me. I had warned him but I think they went even further than usual. Dad clearly able to pick what He had told me right before we walked in. Glancing over my shoulder behind me I could barely even manage a light smile as I spoke.* I am so sorry I didn't expect that! Let's get out of here…. Zebulon: *I was so close to hitting someone and I was glad that you finally stopped the conversation as they turned it to me being serious about you and them wanting to know what exactly I had planned. I couldn't believe them pushing this and then her father calling me son, I wanted to laugh at him doing so. I was a lot older than he could even imagine and I knew he as well as the others in the room felt my powers coming from me as they continued to get on my nerves. It was never a good thing and I had to pull myself together before they were hurt. Turning to follow you out the door as they tried to stop us from leaving, taking a deep breath as the cold air hit greeted me once we were outside. Looking back to see that they didn't follow us, I walked over to you and took your hand flashing us to my home in Santorini, Greece.* #MeetingHerFather #PhoenixRisingRP #DH

Meeting Up Again

Sunshine: *I gradually found myself waking up. Not the horrible what did I do last night kind of waking up, but the I don’t want to risk what happened being a dream gradual. But I was expecting for him to be gone. There was no need for Zebulon to stick around after I passed out on him. For a guy who would prefer to not be touched, he sure did a lot of it last night. I think I was already dreaming last night when he held me while I drifted off. Opening my eyes I stared at the wall, I could still smell whatever cologne he had worn. The earthy smell had appealed to me on a higher level than usual. Rolling over I indeed confirmed what I had thought. He had left, not wanting to let any more daylight pass on by I managed to force my sore body off of the bed. A hot shower was going to be needed to help get me motivated for today at my booth. Without giving the male any more of a thought I stretched and headed towards my bathroom. My small sounds of surprise at where all I was sore surprised me. Inside the bathroom, water on high, door slightly ajar I began stripping so I could get under the spray of the water and enjoy the heat soaking into my skin.* Zebulon: *As soon as she fell asleep last night, I gathered my few things and went out her door and outside to an alley when I flashed myself back home to Greece. I undressed and jumped into the shower taking my time letting the hot water run over my body trying to forget how this female has gotten a hold of my attention so quickly. Once the water started running cold I stood under it a little longer as I remembered what took place before she went to sleep. Yeah this was so not what I normally let happen yet she was much different. Sighing as I turned the water off and dried myself off before laying down on my bed. I knew I should stay away from New Orleans but fuck it, I lived to piss off Savitar.* Sunshine: *Towel wrapped around me once out of the shower I worked on the tangles in my hair. Looking at myself in the mirror I was still able to see each spot Zebulon had bit me. Grinning like a fool, knowing last night was something that I had ended up needing. Sex with a mysterious guy that I would never see again. That was the downside, but if he was anything like my ex’s it was for the best. Well that’s what I kept telling myself. It was then I realized that I had brushed all of my hair and was just standing there looking at my reflection. Some of those marks were higher up and would have to be covered up by one of my tops. There was just no way around it. I didn’t care though, the sight of that guy in my room would be enough to hold me over for a while. Pulling open the door the rest of the way I went to get dressed.* Zebulon: *I only laid in bed for a couple of hours before I got up and dressed to go sit back out on the porch. It didn't matter the time of the day it was for me, I enjoyed the view and the quietness of it. Normally I sat here and wondered what other shit I needed to help run interference with around here but my mind wandered back to Sunshine. I thoroughly enjoyed what we did and I didn't bother healing the scratches that she put on my back. I went back inside to get myself something to eat.* Sunshine: *I found my way back to my stand, everything set up and ready for any customers. I was currently sitting with my sketchbook in hand. The urge to draw was there but my mind couldn't concentrate on what. Several pages had already been used from where I had found myself drawing that stranger's face. The soft smile that was apparently something not done often. Closing the book with a sigh finding myself actually hoping that I'd run into him again tonight.* Zebulon: *Once I finished eating, I went for a walk through the city trying to distract myself from my thoughts. I ran into a couple of the Dark-Hunters that were stationed here, talked to each a few minutes before I decided to head back home. Once there I looked around before I flashed myself back to New Orleans. Smiling to myself when I appeared not far from where I ran into her the night before.* Sunshine: *The day drug on but eventually it was time to pack up and head back. It was ironic that not once while dealing with a customer did I not glance around. Ugh I was sounding like a hopeless romantic. Tonight I was going to go to the bar I wanted to go to last night. This time though not for the band. I could tell I needed the distraction more than before. Zebulon had obviously left like I knew he was going to. But I couldn't understand the wild and crazy attraction I had with him. I knew it would be better this way, it was one heck of a one night stand. One I wouldn't soon be forgetting.* Zebulon: *I decided to walk around instead of going to look for Sunshine and see what was all in this area. Stopping to take a look at a couple of the shops here, I wasn't really interested in any of the products. I saw a couple of the Greek gods and flashed them a mischievous grin when they saw me. The look they had on their faces made me laugh to myself and I knew they would probably inform someone of my presence here in New Orleans. I didn't really care if they did, it's not like they could explain why I was here.* Sunshine: *Everything was packed away in my car again, tucking the keys into a pocket before walking away. Walking the same path as I did last night. It was familiar and that's what I would stick to at night. It was only a matter of time before I saw the sign overhead. Smiling to myself as I stepped up to the doors and moved through. The dim lights and loud music first to hit my senses.* Zebulon: *I found myself walking past her car towards the club we were going to go last night but never made it inside. Smiling to myself as I approached the club and could hear the music. Without thinking about it I went towards the entrance where the line was.* Sunshine: *I had managed to move half over onto the dance floor by the band. Grinning and dancing along the best I could to the music. Hands up above my head as my hips swayed back and forth. My eyes currently closed as I listened to the beat. Thankfully everyone kept to themselves so I could truly enjoy myself, oblivious to everything and everyone but each note of the song.* Zebulon: *I didn't wait long in the line until I was inside. I didn't know why I even went inside, it was like I was drawn in by something. I scanned over the crowd slowly which was easy since I was taller than a lot of them in here. My eyes stopped on the reason I was here in New Orleans, sure she was on the dance floor but it was the way she was moving. Fuck me, she knew how to move those hips and I started walking in her direction noticing she had her eyes closed.* Sunshine: *Lowering my arms as the song ended and shifted to another. Hands resting on my own hips, fingers tapping to the beat. Slowly I opened my eyes and blinked several times. The smoke still thick in the air. But that's not what had me blinking. I was seeing things, surely I was. I didn't move from my spot, if he was here for me he was going to have to come to me. For now I was going to focus on my dancing, again.* Zebulon: *Noticing her open her eyes and blink several times while looking in my direction. I continued to move to where she was when she started dancing again. I was tempted to turn around and say forget it but she had already captured my attention with the way she was dancing. It had me growing hard at the way she moved, I think she was doing it on purpose.* Sunshine: *I could feel his eyes on me, that he was moving closer too. Turning around I moved closer towards the middle of the crowd once I opened my eyes again. My heart was actually picking up it's pace. Enjoying the toying I was doing to a complete stranger. As if it were a cat and mouse game between us. The hair on the back of my neck stood as he continues moving closer.* Zebulon: *Clenching my jaw as people bumped into me as I continued to move through the crowd. I almost let my powers surge as some drunk slapped me on my back, I turned my head and glared at him when he did it. He held his hands up and moved away quickly.* Sunshine: *I could hear the people clamoring around me murmuring about the stranger scaring everyone. I couldn't resist glancing over my shoulder. Seeing that it was indeed Zebulon. The look on his face showed exactly how uncomfortable he was in the crowd. Remembering his words of how he didn't like to be touched had me moving towards him. Closing the distance, hoping to put out the fire before it got the chance to burn everything.* Zebulon: *Taking a deep breath and trying to calm myself as some were moving away from me. Yeah this was a huge mistake, I debated on turning around and heading out the door. I saw Sunshine moving back in my direction which made me stay put until she was closer.* Sunshine: *Giving a soft smile as I moved in the last few steps towards him. Paying attention to everyone but at the same time ignoring them all the same. Reaching out I placed a hand on his chest. Hoping that the same rules from last night were still in play.* Fancy meeting you here tonight. Zebulon: *My jaw relaxed some when I saw her smile and felt myself relaxing some when she put her hand on my chest. I was aware of those around us whispering but I was ignoring them as I focused in on her. I looked down at her hand and back up at her with a small smile.* Sunshine: *I could feel the fact that he was relaxing, making myself feel braver than I should. I stepped in closer bringing my other hand up to rest beside the first. That smile right there was the one that haunted me all day. Making me think that he didn't mind my being close.* I hadn't expected to see you tonight but I'm glad you are here. *I practically should shouted the words so he could hear. My eyes met his wondering if he would admit to feeling the same.* Zebulon: *That touch was something that I thought about and glad she was doing it right now. It helped me to relax that much more. I placed my hands on her hips as she put her other hand on my chest leaning close to her ear.* I'm glad to see you as well. I think we should leave before they ask me to. Sunshine: *I nodded once before covering his hands with my own. He was right, I could see the bouncer eyeing us both. Probably trying to decide if it was worth coming over here.* Yes we better go, you pick the place tonight. *Keeping a hold on one of his hand I turned and headed towards the door. Giving a smile to the same bouncer that was watching us.* Zebulon: *Letting her lead us past the bouncer that was watching us and barely hearing her tell me to pick the place. I took a deep breath once we made it outside and we continued walking.* I don't know this city and I'll be up for any place that's less crowded than this last one. Sunshine: I know I wanted to see if there was anything you might have wanted. *The air outside felt cool against my skin compared to the heat of the bodies inside the club. Even though we were out here I didn't let go of Zebulon’s hand. Walking away from the club and towards a twenty-four hour bakery. They catered to vegans any non alone without a single problem. As well as used to how I was.* Are you hungry? Zebulon: I don't know what there is all here really. *I noticed that you still held my hand as we continued walking but I didn't mind in the least. I was more than glad to be out of that crowded place.* I can use a bite to eat. Where we going for food at this time? Sunshine: There is a small bakery not too far, they are open twenty four hours. Not to mention they can cater to my diet. As well as anything you may like. *Smiling as we walked side by side, the fact that you had yet to pull away from me had not gone unnoticed. I was currently waiting to see exactly how long you might let this keep up. I was enjoying the attention, as well as the feelings gave me.* Ok we just have to go over and up on block. Zebulon: That sounds good, what do they all serve at this bakery? *I wanted to pull my hand away but at the same time I didn't want to. I kept walking and without realizing I pulled my hand away. Sticking my hands into my pockets* The distance we travel to eat isn't a problem. I don't mind it. Sunshine: They serve any kind of baked goods you can think of. *I didn't keep you from pulling your hand away once you did. Knowing I'd be no better than anyone else if I tried to force anything.* What made you come to the club tonight? It was obvious that it's not your thing. Zebulon: That sounds good, I could go for some baked goods.. *Looking at you and shrugging as I tried to think of what made me go into the club. She was right about it not being my thing. I truly didn't have an answer other than she was there.* I guess I was a little curious after we didn't go into the club last night. Sunshine: *I started crossing the street before you had answered my question. My eyes scanning back and forth. Getting hit by a car was not on my list of things I want to do. Making it across before I answered.* That's how it usually is there, worse on weekends. So I'm guessing you won't be going back there. *Chuckling softly as we neared the door.* Zebulon:*Looking back and forth as well before following you across the street and hearing what you say as we made it onto the sidewalk.* No, I guess wouldn't be going back there if it's like that normally. Is there other places that aren't so crowded? *Moving ahead and opening the door of the bakery we were heading towards.* Sunshine: Possibly. If the music is good though it'll be crowded. *Shrugging as I went to reach for the door. Caught off guard at the fact you reached it first. Managing a thank you as I walked inside. The scents of sugary sweets hitting my nose. They may not be things I liked to eat but the smell always made me interested.* Zebulon: I guess I won't be going to any place to listen to music, if it's crowded. *Following you once you went inside. Taking in the smell of the desserts that they made here and had me looking at the display cases.* What are you going to get? There's a couple things I may try. Sunshine: If we can catch an outdoor concert that would be perfect for you actually. *Walking up to the counter I patiently waited for the night shift cashier to come from the back. Knowing they seen/heard us come in. Smiling wide at the female as she appeared and asked if I wanted my usual. Nodding in response before turning over towards Z.* What do you want to get? *I couldn't help but watch as you looked over the items in the case. It seemed like you maybe hadn't been to one in a while, if at all. Then again I could be wrong. Mentally debating this as I stood there waiting.* Zebulon: *Looking up as I heard you and walking over to where you were at. Noticing the female behind the counter staring and I give her a small smile.* What do you recommend I have? There's a few things I wouldn't mind having, like the powdered donuts, blueberry muffins and maybe some cookies. Sunshine: *Laughing softly as I heard what all he may have wanted, the only thing that had sounded remotely interesting to me was the muffin. The lady unfazed by what he asked smiled again before moving behind the case. and pointing towards the beignets. Of course with it being New Orleans everyone just about loved those creations.* Why not get one of each item, that way you see if there is one you would like to get more of? Zebulon: *Nods as the female points at the donuts and looking at you.* Then I'll do that, although those donuts look good. What are they called? *Watches as the female starts getting the things I asked for and something else which I assumed was your order * Sunshine: They are beignets, a local sweet. If you enjoy powdered sugar, you should like those. *As my order was done I moved to take it while watching the woman gather Z’s things. Biting my tongue about how bad some of the things in what he was getting were. I didn’t want to ruin his appetite and I didn’t want to lose being able to come here for my favorite items. There wasn’t enough bakeries around who made what I liked.* Zebulon: They sound interesting, almost looks like a sugar cookie we eat in Greece. *Watching as the female gathered my order after she handed Sunshine hers. I ignored the look of surprise from the female as she handed me my order. I pulled money from my pocket to pay for the food before taking my order from her. Turning to look at Sunshine with my brow raised.* Where do you want to sit? Sunshine: *I wasn’t expecting him to pay for mine and I had already started digging through my pocket looking for the money when I heard his comment. I couldn’t have heard him right, right?* You’ve been to Greece? *I led us to a small table away from the counter, waiting until we were sitting to ask him that question. That there was a place I would like to go to. But I didn’t see myself ever being able to leave from here. So forever a fantasy dream it would remain.* Zebulon: *Following her to the small table and taking a seat. Hearing her question and giving her a small smile nodding.* Yes, it's where I'm from. I've lived there for a long time. *Picking up one of the beignets and popped it into my mouth. Surprised by how good it was I ate another.* I want to order some more of these. Sunshine: You then are a long way away from home. Do you travel often? *Laughing at how quick you took to the sweets and pushing you a napkin.* You might want to get the sugar off your face before you do anything else. *Picking up my own little treat I took a bite, tonight turned out far better than I had expected.* Zebulon:: *Nods as I take the napkin from you and wipe my face before answering.* I do travel often. It's doesn't seem that far really. *Grabbing the muffin and taking a bite.* What about you? Have you ever traveled anywhere? Sunshine: Me? No I haven’t really left New Orleans. Everything I have ever done has been right here. *Chuckling softly as I see you missed a spot completely with the napkin. WIthout even hesitating I reached out and used the pad of my index finger to swipe away the sugar that managed to have landed further away on your cheek.* There. One day I would like to though. Where you are from must be wonderful to see… quite possibly be an awesome sight…. *I started trailing off into my own world as I mentally pictured what Greece looked like. At the same time I finished eating the small pastry I had. Zebulon: Really? You should go see it sometime. *Surprised when your finger moved across my cheek. I couldn't help the small smile at that slight touch but it was something I didn't mind at all.* This is the first time I've been here. I'm sure there is plenty to this place. Sunshine: Even if I could manage it, I doubt my family would be too happy about my leaving. I am safe here. *Or so her family kept telling her. Not like she would argue that statement whenever they told her. She never fully tried to go anywhere outside of their city it was always interesting here to begin with. Her eyes moved down to where her now empty plate sat, her own napkin there unused sitting beside it.* Zebulon: *Brow raised with curiosity* Why is that? *I started eating the cookie since I ate the other two pastries already. Taking a look around as I thought about how I should be honest with her about who I really was and the fact that I could travel back and forth with no problem between here and my place is Greece. For some odd reason I knew I'd be showing her what I could do.* Sunshine: That was never really explained, just that's how it was. *Shrugging a shoulder knowing my family had a crazy explanation but it was never explained out. Which made me realize it had been awhile that I had last visited with them. Frowning as I thought about it, they would most definitely be in their bar tonight.* Zebulon: *Finishing up my food and listening to you, I could sense something but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I decided to ignore whatever is was until I knew for sure.* That's interesting, I'm sure there's a good reason behind it. What else do you want to do? Now that we are done with our snack. Sunshine: *Hearing your voice had me realize I was still frowning. Looking up I gave you a light smile.* Well why don't you go order your beignets to go and while you are doing that I'm going to make a phone call. Zebulon: Alright, I'll be right back. *Getting up and going back to the counter. I didn't bother looking at the display case this time since I knew what I wanted to order this time. I waited while there was another person ordering, once they were done I moved forward and ordered some beignets to go. I stood back while she got my order ready and I turned to see Sunshine making her phone call.* Sunshine: *I got my phone out and unlocked the screen. Pulling up the dialer and pressing on a number. Soon the voice if my brother sounded on the other end. Unable to hide the smile that spread across my face as we talked. Mentioning the fact that dad seen someone leaving from my place. Groaning softly as I looked up at Zebulon. This wasn't going to end well, and only one way.* Tell dad I'll come talk to him later. Zebulon: *I was busy paying attention to Sunshine smiling as she was talking to whoever it was that I barely heard the female trying to get my attention. I turned to look at her and apologized for making her wait. I took my order from her with a smile and nod before I walked back to the table.* Sunshine: *I told my brother bye and locked the screen. I wonder if I could get him to go to the bar. It would make things easier for me the sooner I went there.* Uh, Zebulon I need to swing my parents bar for a minute. Do you mind? Zebulon: *Watching as you hung up your phone. My brow raised with surprise at the mention of your parents having a bar.* I don't mind. Where is it? *Standing there as I waited for you to stand up.* Did you want to go now? Sunshine: *Sighing I stood, dad always had a way with words. I think that's what happened to….Brad. It didn't matter what was going on once my father talked to them they bailed. Then again, Zebulon and I aren't really dating….So I don't know how this could end up going.* I think the sooner the better, he wants some things cleared up. Zebulon: *Frowning as you stood up sighing. I stepped closer to you with concern in my voice. I don't know why it worried me that something maybe wrong. I just met you but yet I couldn't help feeling this way.* What needs to be cleared up? Did something happen? Sunshine: It's nothing serious, I haven't been by to see them. *I bit the side of my cheek as I debated on telling him more. I moved to throw my plate and napkin away.* My dad seen you. Zebulon: *Picking up my plate and napkin as well and following you to the trash can. Nodding as you said that it wasn't anything serious then I stopped when I heard you say your dad saw me. This couldn't be good, I knew I walked out of her building and to an alley before I flashed myself home.* #MeetingUpAgain #PhoenixRisingRP #DH

Going To Her Place

Sunshine: *I could not help but wonder if maybe he had hit his head at some point earlier in the day. The way he would get all quiet then I would have this telltale feeling I was being watched. Like right now. I had just all but gave him a view my backside when I was working on getting that table worked into the back of my car. I was able to feel him looking me over. If he was interested he hid it well behind the gruff and standoff-ish demeanor he had. I needed to get home, to eat, to steer clear of this guy. So many thoughts started running through my head. But as I stood here looking up towards his face each one of those thoughts drifted out of my mind as quickly as my brain picked up on other thoughts.* Thank you again for your help. *I barely managed to whisper the words. What, and why were running through my mind.*

Zebulon: *I knew I should go but for some odd reason I didn’t want to quite leave just yet. I was pushing it the longer I stayed around New Orleans but I really didn’t give a shit what Savitar thought about me being here. We were due to have another fight and I’d enjoy it way too much. Pulling myself from those thoughts I gave Sunshine a rare smile as she looked up at me. What is it that has me drawn to her? My own thoughts going into overdrive of what I wanted to do with her that I had barely heard her speak. I gave her a nod.* You’re welcome. What are you going to do tonight? *The question dropped out of my mouth and I was surprised that I even asked it.*

Sunshine: *You know that saying about something going right through you? Yeah that’s what happened when this Zebu….Z….guy smiled at me. I felt it down deep, further than I actually should have. I felt myself responding in ways it hadn’t since that biker Brad, first teased me. This wasn’t good. I was going to be in so much trouble. I could only hope that it would be fun and that my body could handle what my libido was doing to me. It took a second for me to realize that he had asked me something.* I don’t have any plans, why?

Zebulon: *Dropping the smile just as quick as it appeared and kind of surprised that she didn’t have plans already. I didn’t know what to ask or how to ask since I spent most of my time alone at my place in Greece. Yeah, I didn’t even want to think of telling her I wasn’t from around here and how I got here. I almost laughed as I pictured her reaction to learning I just arrived here not even an hour ago.* I was just wondering if you wanted to do something.

Sunshine: *I couldn’t help the frown with how serious you became once the smile was gone.* You definitely aren’t from around here are you? Let’s see it’s Friday so usually a band or two performing somewhere. What type of things do you like? *I realized I was starting to ramble so I asked that question and shut up.*

Zebulon: *Noticing the frown as I dropped my smile and tried to ignore the fact it bothered me a little.* No I’m not from around here. I like listening to music and just hanging out at home most of the time if I’m not out doing my job. *My brow raised with curiosity when you mentioned a band performing somewhere.* What kind of band and where at?

Sunshine: Usually rock bands and around the square and a club that I haven’t been to this late in the day. *Shrugs as I talk, feeling that he was just asking questions to pass the time. Which standing here wasn’t a bad thought except I realized everyone else who was packing up had already gone. Glancing around before turning back to you.*

Zebulon: Rock music is good. Where are they playing? *I couldn’t help noticing you looking around as we talked. I was wondering if I was holding you up for something.* Are you sure you don’t have plans with someone?

Sunshine: The only plans I have involved rice cakes. But there is always a band playing at Sanctuary, then another place downtown. You should check one or both it if you have the time, neither are hard to find at all. Why do you keep thinking I have a place to be?

Zebulon: *Inwardly cringing when you mention Sanctuary, knowing if I step foot in there every being in that place would know who and what I was.Not to mention Savitar would know I was here. It was tempting to get his attention but now wouldn’t be the time.* I know where Sanctuary is and I can’t go there for certain territory reasons. *Not showing my disappointment when I realize you suggesting I go check them out when I get the chance. I wouldn’t be sticking around if I had to go by myself.* Because you keep looking around and I asked if you wanted to do something and now you’re suggesting I go check them out by myself.

Sunshine: Territory, you mean you’re another bar owner or is it something else? *I started getting this funny feeling building in the back of my head that was wanting attention. Something wasn’t right with this guy. So what else was new? I mentally asked myself. My small fight with myself almost had me missing the response he had. Mentally slapping myself for getting distracted from listening to him.* I was referring to while you were here, and while we are standing around talking I was not about to assume that you would be wanting to do something with me….*Pausing myself mid sentence I shook my head and smiled.* You know what, I know a good spot to listen to some music. The band should be about to play right now. You game to go?

Zebulon: Something else. *Running my hand over my head as I realized what I said about the territory thing. Of course the first thing she’d think was some sort of human biker thing. Sanctuary being a biker bar and all. How did I explain to her that I was a Chthonian or even explain to her what one was. Again my thoughts went to the reason I was here in the first place. That little halfling wanted me to bond with her and I wasn’t having it. Pushing that out of my mind as I heard you.* Of course I want to go, where we going anyway?

Sunshine: It is a place just a few blocks over, we can walk to it. Would be quicker than driving and finding a place to park. *Turning back around to my car I bent to get inside and lean over to the other door. Locking it before locking the passenger door. I was rambling about the music, the food, and of course the name of the place. Being completely absent minded about things I continued talking to myself about things I needed to take care of. Like changing the locks on my apartment. The hardware store I needed to go to being closed. Turning back around I smiled again, it was actually hard to not do such when your gaze had such intensity behind it and it seemed like you never had someone smile around you.* Come on let’s go before the good tables are taken! *I reached out to grab your elbow and lead you on the excitement about listening to music the only thing going on in my head at the moment.*

Zebulon: I have no problem walking to this place. *Watching as you bent back into your car again, not even hiding the fact I was checking your ass out again as I listened to you go on about music, food and the name of the place, which I had no clue anything about. Then you went on about things I wasn’t sure was relevant to where we were going. Then I was surprised when you were looking at me and reached for my elbow. Out of my normal reaction when someone reached to touch me. I pulled my arm out of your gasp and started following you and mumbled an apology for pulling my arm away.*

Sunshine: Oh! Sorry! I get easily carried away. *Smiling still even when you pulled away. Thinking you were one of the types who avoided contact with others at all times. Hey it’s a real thing. I still continued to head in the direction we were walking.* Just remind me if I try again.

Zebulon: It’s alright. *I was glad to see that you weren’t offended I pulled away. After what happened to me when I was younger I avoided contact with most unless it was to fight. Shaking my head at the thoughts and continued to follow you.* I will remind if you do.

Sunshine: Thank you Zebulon, and I promise I’ll try to remember. *I didn’t say that I would be better off tattooing that promise into my skin to remember it. It honestly wasn’t my fault that I had issues finding my stuff…or that I tripped and fell into things…*

Zebulon: It’s not really a problem and where exactly are we going anyway Sunshine? *Looking around as we walked and just as I turned to look at you I seen you almost run into someone. I reached out to pull you against me without even thinking about it.*

Sunshine: We are almost there. *I looked up, the sign should be coming up any moment now. Not even paying attention to the fact that someone was in my way. I went from looking for a sign to finding myself against something again. This time it didn’t feel like a brick wall, I felt strong arms around me. Immediately I knew that it was Zebulon again. Slowly I turned around to face him. Smiling softly up to him.* Thank you, that’s twice now I owe you. *Whispering the words as I brought a hand up, but I stopped before my hand touched skin.*

Zebulon: Not a problem. *Shit, I enjoyed the feel of her against me more than I wanted to and with her facing me with that smile. This time I didn’t release her immediately like I did earlier, I held you in place after you turned to face me. I leaned down close enough to that I could feel the heat coming from your lips.*

Sunshine: *My eyes widened slightly as your face came even closer to me. Close enough to where I could brush my lips, among other things if I wanted to. My eyes glanced up to yours, feeling brave than I should after you jerked away earlier I let my hands come in contact with your cheek. My thumb running over your cheekbone as closed the distance and placed a kiss on your lips.*

Zebulon: *I was surprised at the same time I wasn’t when you placed your lips on mine and I returned the kiss. Pulling back nipping your bottom lip with a smile and released you before I did something more while we stood out on this sidewalk.*

Sunshine: *He surprised me when he didn’t jerk away, or all but push me like the first time he grabbed me. I managed to hide the soft groan when I felt teeth on my lip. Wow…. Just as quick as the kiss happened it ended, opening my eyes in time to see the smile. Smiling back in return I pulled my hand away from his face as he moved away. Okay I was wrong he didn’t avoid contact like a person who was afraid of germs. He even seemed like he didn’t mind my being so close this time. I couldn’t hide the smile that stayed firmly in place.* The door is just ahead….

Zebulon:*Nodding as I heard you and glad I moved away from you. I had to slightly adjust myself after that kiss. It was a simple kiss and yet you had affected me more than I thought was possible. I wasn’t up to being anywhere else but taking you somewhere private and having my way with you. Before I could stop myself I stopped you from going towards the door by taking your hand and asking with a small smile.* Do you really want to go see this band?

Sunshine: *I came up short making it to the door the pull of your hand on mine had me looking down to see if I was imagining things. My gaze then went from your hand up your arm, stopping once I had gotten to your face. My head tilted slightly as I took in the question. Did I want to see the band? Yes, but it is not like I can not come back next week to see them. They were regulars, this guy here though he wasn’t one.* What do you have in mind?

Zebulon: *What did I have in mind? I had lots in my mind but I knew better than to voice it out loud. Fuck, if I had my way I’d flash us straight to my place in Greece but I didn’t know if you knew anything about that. You knew about Sanctuary but that didn’t mean you really knew about it and that they weren’t exactly all humans there. Smiling at you as I pushed that thought to the side and kept the others I had about you in mind.*A few things, How far do you live from here?

Sunshine: That would require me driving. It would be further away in the same direction we are currently walking. *I had to admit I was highly curious as to what these few things could possibly be.* What about you, how are you from here?

Zebulon: *Brow raised.* How much further? I’m not anywhere near as close as you probably are. *We definitely were closer to her place, I was literally on the other side of the world if I was going to be honest about it and I wasn’t sure I’d fit in your small car.*

Sunshine: Mmmm *I tucked in my lower lip as I thought about it.* It is usually ten to fifteen minutes driving to get there. So I’ll say a mile or two…never really paid that much attention to it.

Zebulon: Ten to fifteen minutes is a lot closer than where I’m staying. *Knowing with the way I get around it doesn’t even take that long to get from here to there.* It’s up to you if you want to stay here and watch this band instead.

Sunshine: *Giving a mischievous grin I moved closer to you again.* They are here every week, so Z would you rather walk or ride?

Zebulon: *As soon as you moved closer I was tempted to step back but I stood in place waiting to see what you were going to do. I heard your question and with the smile you were giving me had my mind saying “I’d like you to ride yes.” But that’s not what you meant and I knew it.* We can ride if you’d want but I have no problem walking.

Sunshine: Either one will work for me Z. *Laughing as I realize how dirty this conversation would sound to anyone who just happens to walk by. Oh man I realized my thoughts were on to wondering what this guy looked like. Minus the clothing.* Ride, definitely ride.

Zebulon: *Nodding as you said ride, definitely ride. I held back my smile with where my thoughts went those those words. Not only did my thoughts go there so did another part of my body, damn I know it hasn’t been that long since I last did that, has it? Clearing my throat before I said.* Let’s go back to your car.

Sunshine: *Oh man I could only hope that my mind would chill out on the course of where it was going. My heart needed to chill out too. I was thankful that we had to walk back to the car. That should give me plenty of time to chill out. I hope.* Alright come on. *Turning back around to where we had left my little bug.*

Zebulon: *I started following you and taking in the sight of your backside before walking alongside you. I was trying to clear my mind of the thoughts of what I wanted to do but they were quite relentless.As I let my thoughts wander, I realized we were where we left your car a little while ago. Smiling as I looked at your car.*

The First Meeting

Zebulon: *I thought a few times about walking into Sanctuary just to piss Savitar off but decided to walk around his precious territory. I knew he wouldn’t be happy about it and my appearance around here wouldn’t go missed by him. Laughing at the thought of how he would react to me being here, I almost walked into a female.*

Sunshine: *With night approaching I had started packing up my stand the things I hadn’t sold today. Hands full I wasn’t paying much attention to the familiar path I was walking. My head down as I moved, unaware of anyone else in my way.*

Zebulon: *Putting my hand out to stop the female as she kept walking and she clearly wasn’t even paying attention to where she was going.* You may want to watch where you are going.

Sunshine: Hey, *I let the bag in my left hand fall, bringing it up to push at the hand.* I’ve walked this path for years. There’s never anyone on it right now. *As I spoke my gaze lifted from the ground up towards the face of the stranger. Woah, talk about the perfect model.* The college is on the other side of the shopping district. This is where everyone sells their stuff.

Zebulon: Hey yourself, you just about walked into me. *Dropping my hand as she pushed it away and taking a step back from her. I couldn’t help the smile that appeared as she looked up.* I was just simply out for a walk and I’m not looking for the college. *Brow raised with curiosity* What kind of stuff is sold here?

Sunshine: You know the community college for the arts, you are one of their models for the new semester right? *Dropping down I moved to get the bag I had dropped and anything that fell out as I answered the second question.* Well right now the square is closed for the night. But there is quite a bit of things sold there. You can even get your palm read if you wished. *Without another word I stood back up, not even sure how far away you were from me anymore.*

Zebulon: *Shaking my head with a look of astonishment at your question.* I’m not a model for this community college for the arts, I don’t even know where it is. *Watching as dropped down, my head tilted slightly with slight curiosity at who you were.* It sounds like I should come back to this square, do you sell things there?

Sunshine: I sell paintings and drawings there. It’s where I was coming from. *I brought both hands up as I offered a polite smile.* You caught me, now if you’ll excuse me I need to get to my car. *She was feeling silly for mistaking him for one of the models for the college she even had attended. He had the look about him though that he could have been if he wanted.*

Zebulon: *Nods with my brow raised* An artist? That’s interesting. *Returning her smile with a small one of my own, I didn’t want her to leave just yet. Why I didn’t even know, I liked my solitude from everyone and yet she has piqued my interest.* If you want, I could walk you to your car.

Sunshine: *The offer had me looking him over. He didn’t look harmless then again most never do.* I guess you can, my car isn’t that far away. Thank you.

Zebulon: *Brow raised as I noticed you looking me over but I didn’t say anything about it. Taking my time looking you over as well and appreciating what I was seeing.* You’re welcome.

Sunshine: *Chuckling softly as I moved to walk. Going through a mental checklist of everything. Hoping nothing was left behind this time. The distraction caused me to miss the crack in the pavement, the front of my sandal caught it and pitched me forward.*

Zebulon: *As we moved I started looking around and just happen to look your way when fell forward. Without thinking about it, I reached forward to catch you before you hit the ground and pulled you against me.* You should be more careful.

Sunshine: *I was expecting to find myself hitting the pavement. Even brought my hands up the best I could with my bags to protect my face. It was only a matter of a blink of an eye and I found myself back upright, two arms around me that were definitely not my own. My back was against him, but my first thought was a wall. The heat of his body passed through the top I was wearing. Glancing back over my shoulder as I spoke.* Thank you, I try but fail elegantly.

Zebulon: *As soon as I had her upright and on her feet. I released my hold on her as she glanced back at me. * Not a problem and you should be more careful.

Sunshine: *I stumbled slightly at how quick he let me go. Like I would harm him or something. Shaking my head as I heard him speak again. It took everything I had to not scowl at him when he repeated the statement.* Like I said, I try. *Glancing over myself to make sure nothing was amiss I started walking again towards my car.*

Zebulon: *Wondering if I hurt her when I grabbed her as she looked herself over. Shaking my head with a frown at the thought and continued to walk with her to her car.* What do you draw and paint?

Sunshine: *Lifting a shoulder I shrugged, debating on just ignoring the question. Any other day it would be easy to do with all the thoughts that entertain me. Before deciding on what to say I heard my voice as it answered.* Animals, scenery, abstract and live art. It always falls to whatever my mood might be and what catches my attention. Like how right now I can see the perfect way to sketch out that look on your face. It may be a frown but you wear it well. *I should have just kicked myself then. I already knew he was the ‘bad boy’ type. How? Because the simplest fact that was obvious to me. I had enjoyed the brief moment of his arms around me.*

Zebulon: *I was completely caught off guard with her answer especially the one about the look on my face. I didn’t know what to say to that, so I just looked at her with my brow raised and wondered what she meant by it.*

Sunshine: *Thankfully my car came into sight then, the old beat up yellow beetle. It kept me from seeing the look on his face about what I had said. Knowing that I said more than I should have but that’s nothing unusual either.* There my is car just up ahead.

Zebulon: *Taking a quick look towards the car she indicated and returned my gaze towards her.* Do you always say things without thinking or did you not realize you were saying those things? *Coming to a stop as we approached the small yellow beetle she said was hers.*

Sunshine: You asked, I answered honestly. Would you have rather I lied? *Going to the front of the car I opened the hatch. Loading everything I was carrying into it before shutting it back.* I have to go back and get my table, you don’t have to go with me though.

Zebulon: No, the honesty is refreshing to hear from anyone. *Watching as you moved to the front of the car and loaded your belongings into it. I barely heard what you said.* I’ll walk with you, I don’t have anywhere to be at the moment.

Sunshine: *Groaning softly* Tell me you aren’t doing this just because I am a female? *As I spoke I moved back to the sidewalk, not waiting on an answer as I headed back to where my booth sat. My table folded up and waiting for me. I glanced and saw that this stranger was still with me. I didn’t even know his name, his good deed could lead up to something far worse happening.*

Zebulon: *I heard her question and it was because she was female but not in the way she was thinking. I found her intriguing and yes she definitely was something I didn’t mind looking at. Shaking my head at the thought, I didn’t even know her name and yet I found myself thinking something I haven’t thought of in a long time. I knew I had to introduce myself if I wanted to continue walking or even talking to her. Normally the beings I interacted with knew who I was and I didn’t need to give them my name. This was foreign yet a welcoming thing to me . When she glanced towards me again I gave a small smile before saying.* I’m Zebulon and you are?

Sunshine: Zebulon, that’s a rather interesting name. I don’t think I have heard it before. *Just like that there was an attraction, as if his name told me everything I needed to know about him. Such an interesting name, I tried to side eye him as we walked. Taking in his choice of clothing, not a stitch if leather on him. So he wasn’t a biker making his way through town. His clothes were form fitting, while mine were loose and free flowing. It automatically had me thinking he had to be like my opposite.* Oh! Sorry my name’s Sunshine.

Zebulon: It is an old name and Sunshine is an interesting name as well. *Nods slowly as I followed you back to your car and without thinking about it I took the table from you to carry it the rest of the way to your car.*

Sunshine: I don’t doubt it at all they the name is old. My parents just had a odd sense of humour. *I could only imagine what he’d look like hearing my last name. Then again it might explain aboutme. I think that this was the fastest trip I ever made back to my car. Shocked when I saw we were already back near it.*

Zebulon: *I almost laughed when she said she didn’t doubt my name was old. I doubted she would believe how old it was if I told her. Looking towards her and asking. * How did they have an odd sense of humor? Your name isn’t that odd. *Looking forward and noticing we were already close to her car again and waiting for her to open the front before handing her the table.*

Sunshine: Well how many Sunshine Runningwolfs do you know? *Laughing as I opened the passenger door and pushed the seat forward, sticking a hand out waiting for the table. Knowing that I might be waiting for a minute for him to hand it over.*

Zebulon: You’re the only one I know. *Letting out a low laugh as you opened the door and handed you the table as I noticed you waiting for it with your hand out. Taking the time to appreciate the view as she was bent over putting the table into her car.*

Sunshine: *It took a moment to maneuver the table into the small backseat. I grinned as I stood back up, pushing the seat back into place. The silence behind me had me wondering if I was now alone, but when I turned around I was surprised to see him still here.* Thank you for your help, I do appreciate it.

Zebulon: It wasn’t a problem and I am in no hurry to go anywhere else at the moment. *Thinking to myself how I was originally planning on sticking around or come back more often just to get on Savitar’s nerves being in his territory but this female has made me want to come around for another reason.*

Memories

*Thinking about the time I stepped in to help Arikos, when Deimos and Phobos were hunting him down with the 7 other Dolophoni. Shaking my head at the thought of how the gods always seem to think they can tell me what to do, they have always been fools to think they are always above everyone. Bringing myself back to the present and the newest problem that have presented itself to me. This is a half god, half demon and I enjoyed my solitude way too much. So why did I even give hope to the little halfling that I would consider bonding with her. There is no way she would even be able to prove herself to me in anyway possible let alone my being able to tolerate her presence than I do anyone else's. Running my hand over my head taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. I knew I had to let her know that it wasn't going to happen and do it soon, the longer I put it off the more hope @flamofthedragon may have at me allowing this to happen.*
