Chapter 18 - Countdown to sadness

"Three days." Lilith chirped as Vaela strolled up the path toward the resort, setting sunlight basking the island in a golden hue. "Three days before you're tangled in his bed sheets, screaming his royal name."

Lilith flicked through the air, her tail ticking like a countdown as she sang crude songs about Vaela and Kai's future carnal activities.

Vaela hisses at her, tugging her towel tighter against her body. "No men, No flings. No demon's trying to change my mind! I'm here for peace. And a little sunshine. And maybe a few too many cocktails. That's it."

"Wasn't it you that just said he looks like a wet sculpture of a sex-god?" Lilith reminded her with a grin.

"That was a simple, and annoyingly accurate observation." Vaela spat. "Not a fucking invitation. Just leave me alone!"

"Oh please…" Lilith snorts. "You looked like a sad little shipwreck survivor seeing land for the first time. You seemed very comfortable all snuggled up in those big, brooding muscles of his. Oooh… and the gills. So cuuuute, right! You were practically drooling all over him."

Vaela ripped her towel off her body and tossed it at Lilith with a hiss. "ONE WEEK!"

"Fine, I'll try to respect your temporary chastity." Lilith sighed, throwing her hands up in defeat.

By the time the sun had vanished below the horizon, the resort pool party was pulsing with magic and music.

Throbbing orbs made of magical light bobbed through the air above the dancing and drinking bodies, lighting soft shadows across the glistening pool water and shimmering swimsuits.

Vaela appears like a devilish dream wrapped in silk. Wearing a golden halter that looked like it was painted onto her skin and a sheer sarong that hang from her hips. She glided through the crows like a gilded goddess. 

Elegant, unobtainable and deeply annoyed.

"You look like you could use a—" an offer came, covered in oil and smelling like cigars.

"Pass." she smiled, barely looking at him.

"You ever been on a yacht?" Another asked, licking his lips. 

She sidestepped him without a word.

"Hey, don't I know—"

"Nope!"

Vaela eventually made her way to the dance floor, hoping that losing herself in the music and movement might help to distract her— and keep the unwanted conversations away.

The music moved and so did her body. Pulsing beats, deep and seductive, carry off all apprehension and anxiety as she moves herself to the rhythm. Her hips roll, her arms sway, her breasts bounce. Curves that could crush kingdoms gyrate slowly as she moans and bites her lip.

Everyone noticed.

Men stopped talking mid sentence. Women stared and sneered. Somebody slips into the pool, eyes transfixed on Vaela's seductive attempts at salsa.

A crowd circles her like moths to a flame. 

She twirls, dips and shakes her bum. 

The entire party shifts.

No longer about food, music and good vibes. All attention was now focused fiercly on Vaela's hypnotic performance.

"Fuck me! I just wanted to dance.! Vaela gushes as she stumbles back into her suite. Barefoot, tipsy and giggling like a naughty schoolgirl.

"I think you might've just started a cult back there." Lilith laughs.

She wobbles, peeling off pieces of clothing as she drags herself through the room, babbling about her day, her slow words and slurry.

Her entire naked body seems to smile when she steps into the bathroom.

Steam gently curled through the air above a large, bubbling jacuzzi. The soft scents of lavender and lilac tickle at her nose. And Lilith, already sitting in the water, horns glistening, sweat curling down her neck and breasts. She beckons Vaela in with a warm smile.

"Come rest, kitten." she coos, tapping at the center of her chest.

Vaela slowly slips into the jacuzzi, settling between Lilith's legs, releasing deep, sensual, guttaral groans as the hot water soothes her tired body.

Lilith lounges behind her, legs stretched luxurious out of the water, tailing flicking lazily between the bubbles. Vaela's rests on her plush chest as she gently massages her head with fingers that carried the very essence of physical pleasure. Long claws scraping against her scalp, juuust right.

"This… is… heaven," Vaela slurred, toes curled and eyes rolled back.

"You like this, you should see what I can do with my tongue." Lilith purred.

"Oh my Gooood… I think I just might."
