30 Chapter 30: Escalating

Lily stared into her tea cup and swished the liquid around until a drop sprung out and burned her hand. She winced at the pain but was in shock at Arlo's explanation. She needed something intense like pain to make her feel human right now. Well the human half that she had in her.

"So… I am the daughter of a demon queen and my purpose in life is to take over this world, human and non-human alike and then what?" Lily inquired. Her words hit Arlo's back hard as he was cooking her some eggs for breakfast on the stove, stirring slowly.

"I am not sure Lily. I want to get to the bottom of this but if you really want to find out the truth, we might have to leave this place and find answers." Arlo answered solemnly as he knew this was going to be a long journey and possibly have an ugly outcome for her. But he loved her. He was willing to drop everything is his life to do whatever he could for Lily. To make her happy and keep her safe. His eyes ran across her creamy white skin and up to her face where those diamond eyes sparkled. He felt his pants get tighter as he stared at such beauty. "Get it together for fucks sake! She is discovering who or what she truly is and sex should be the last thing on my mind…." Arlo thought to himself.

"Okay so what do we do from here. I want to figure out what I'm suppose to do Arlo. I don't want to become the ruler of demons and enslave the human world. I just wanted to be me….. just be free… " Arlo watched as Lily's eye filled with tears as they slipped out of her eyes, he heard her cry the deepest cry, it pained him. He poured the eggs onto a plate and turned off the stove so he could rush to her side. He pulled her into his arms and melted into her. "Lily I don't know how exactly we will deal with this but I do know this. I am in love with you and I will follow you to the end of the earth. I will go with you to figure this out and break this curse that has awakened in you. I will be there for you every step of the way, in any way you need. So please don't cry. It will be alright." Arlo comforted Lily and stroked her curly hair. She looked up at him and she felt so warm. Even though she was terrified of the future, there was Arlo. He had been good to her through this entire thing and at first she didn't like him, apart from his handsomeness but it just clicked. There was a depth in him, in those honey eyes that made fire burn deep in her belly. She wanted him too, body and soul. Lily slowly leaned up, grasping the long silky strands of his hair for stability and pushed hers lips into his. He froze for a second and then pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. His hands flowed from her lower back and then cupped her ass. He pulled back to look at her and heat flooded his body. With tears still glistening in her eyes and her cheeks flushes and chest heaving up and down, pressed against him, he felt himself lose it. Something snapped inside him, something primal. That face. Arlo had never seen that face before.

He pushed her down onto the dining table and ripped her shirt open and began sucking on her neck. Lily yelped as he aggressively started grabbing her breasts. Lily looked down to see Arlo's tongue had extended so long and could wrap around her neck. It looked like a snakes tongue. She was scared but not of his tongue, of what he was doing to her. Arlo undid her bra so her perfect breasts tumbled out and there was his tongue strangling her erect nipples. Lily groaned in satisfaction and surprised when his hands starting going lower.

"Wait Arlo… please… I can't…." Her voice was so soft and strained, it only made Arlo harder, he looked up then to look into her eyes and hers were filled with tears again. She wasn't ready for this and he immediately felt guilt take over.

"Arlo, your eyes….." she said softly.

Arlo covered her eyes to shield her from his disgusting transformation. His dragons blood was strong and really emerged when he was turned on.

Lily panted as she saw his eyes in her mind, they were red, red like blood. Lily was a little scarred but knew he wouldn't hurt her.

"Arlo… Lily started

"I'm sorry Lily," that soft sultry voice echoed.

"I didn't want you to see this side of me, not yet, I was worried I would terrify you with how ugly I am" Lily felt his hand shaking. Lily lifted his hand away so she could see him again. " Arlo I am not terrified, surprised maybe but definitely not terrified. She raised her hand up to cup his face. I wanted you to stop because I didn't want to… you know…. On the dining room table." Her cheeks flushed as her confession swept a wave of relief over Arlo. She just wasn't comfortable, she didn't hate the sight of him. He lifted her up and covered her with his jacket hanging off the back of the door. "I'm sorry I was rough with you. You are just so beautiful and I lost control." He knelt in front of her while she wrapped his jacket around herself to cover her breasts. "It's ok Arlo, I thought it was kinda sexy, she smiled. But can we take it slow and sweet for my first time? I don't want to regret it."

Arlo's eye's lit up as he leaned in to kiss her again when he heard someone knock at the door. "Perfect timing…." Arlo grumbled. He swept Lily into his arms and took her into his study. "Wait here while I see who's here."

When Arlo left the room Lily clenched her legs together and wrapped herself in her own embrace while her face exploded with redness. She knew she was in trouble with this mark on her neck but there's another mark, unseen, that Arlo was slowly carving into her heart.
