I made the motion at Council that I needed to find Billy as he had had an interaction with El. Because of El's status and Billy's past it was agreed to send out the hunters.
I've been watching from the hallway with Orli. Orli keeps shifting, I know he feels he shouldn't be watching, but I've kept a tight hold on his hand not letting him leave.
When El finally speaks, I clear my throat and step into the room. They both jump and let go of each other. I smile and hold up my hand, "It's cool, I'm unarmed."
I get nothing but silence, then I hear Orli giggle nervously. I laugh and pull him into the room. "Ok, now that we are all here, listen Billy if you were going to start this new life away from El because of the past... maybe you don't need to."
Still holding Orli's hand I walk closer to them, Orli stumbling along, "There is no reason we can't all be friends again. We've all matured, grown up... I know El and I have seen alot of shit and have learned to treasure the time we have."
Finally letting go of Orli's hand I walk over to El, "I know you care for Orli, and you two have a special relationship. You know I'm fine with that. Tell me what you can handle with Billy."
I know I just stare at him at first. My heart is worn out and emotionally exhausted. I'm confused with what Rhys is asking of me. "I don't understand what you mean..." I glance back to Billy as if he is going to give me the answer.
I do get my answer from Billy, what he says makes it click, then Rhys confirms it. I look into his eyes and I'm terrified. I want so badly to just slip inside his head and read what he is thinking, his intention behind the question but that would be a break in trust.
This has to be a test, surely, but I don't see any deception in his eyes and I don't feel it in his touch. I reach up and take his hand in mine holding it in mine. My mouth has gone so dry and I so badly want to look at Billy but I don't dare. "I don't know how to answer that Rhys. I mean I..."
I glance to Orli and he looks as startled as I feel. With Orli it was easy, just slipped right into it, he is easy to love. There's no danger, no threat, just simple loving him. I look back at Rhys. It's not so easy to look at Rhys and contemplate something that hurt him so much, something that sucked me in and made me a person I didn't very much like. "I don't want to hurt you, that's all I want..."
I can feel Billy's eyes grow large, I don't even have to look. I also don't have to ask him if he would want more with El, if he could handle it. Stan told me everything I needed to know.
Taking El's beautiful face in my hands I kiss his lips softly, "I love you Pet. I know you. There is so much love in you, more than Orli or I can handle I know."
I chuckle and pull him close, "I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, or allow anything, or anyone, to come into our lives if I thought for a second you would be hurt. I know you love me Pet. You are my husband, you always will be."
Looking back at Orli I smile, "Maybe Orli and I should leave you two alone to talk some more."
I'm so stunned and terrified I just stare at him. I guess Rhys takes that as yes because he lets go of my hand and leads Orli off. I'm left standing there with my back to Billy wondering what the fuck am I supposed to do. What the hell did he mean by talk, I know he didn't mean talk as in literally talk, it was some sort of metaphor for something else that my brain just doesn't want to compute. Or maybe he did just mean talk and my brain is putting the rest together itself
( ... )
Have to admit I'm a bit stunned. Obviously so is 'lijah and Orli. I just stare at 'lijah's back then he turns and looks at me. I know that look. I remember what it was like years ago when it was me and Dom and him. I was the one to take control, the leader.
I smile and hold out my hand to him, "Ye have one hell of a husband there 'lijah. He knows ye, knows how te make ye happeh. That's why Ah had te get him to ye whn Ah did."
He slowly takes my hand and I bend and kiss his fingers, "Ah will be whateveh ye need mah loov, Ah will give you wha' eveh ye need - want, Ah will love ye no matteh wha'."
Standing straight I can see he still needs more. Stepping closer I caress his face, "Ah'm goona kiss ye, ok?"
I'm transported back in time to what feels like so long ago, the treehouse. I was scared then too and wanted more, needed more, same as now. It's like a replay and I know what comes next. I don't breath as I nod my head ever so slightly giving him permission. The air between us so thick it's no use taking breath. I wouldn't be able to.
His fingers move over my face and he moves closer, it's like the whole world has stopped, then my eyes are falling closed and my heart wants to jump out of my chest it's beating so badly. Then it's like that electricity all over again as I feel his lips touch mine.
My hand slips up into his hair as my other hand slips around his waist bringing him closer to me. I swear I feel my heart begin to beat again. He could do that I know he could. My love for him could easily bring me back to life.
Licking his lower lip I feel his breath on mine and slowly press my tongue inside his mouth. The familiar taste pulls a moan from deep inside me and the world shrinks to me and him. I'm acutely aware that Rhys and Orli are near, but Rhys has given his approval... it makes it so much sweeter.
Holding him tighter I kiss him passionately able to give him everything I feel without the anger or fear of losing him! It's all so real, so good - so pure.
My lips tingle incredibly after that first touch of his then my name is falling from his lips and it is so easy to fall back into what it's like to kiss Billy. There's a certain, heat and passion that only comes from him and I respond to it eagerly kissing him back just as passionately.
My hands come up from where they were hanging uselessly and press against his chest as he pulls me close. I moan his name into the kiss, his feel so familiar, so easy to get lost in once again.
I clench my fingers into his shirt and pull back slightly, enough to look up into his eyes. If I couldn't breath before now I breath heavily and fast, matching my heart beat, as my blood pounds through my veins. "Well I guess that's one way to talk..."
When El finally speaks, I clear my throat and step into the room. They both jump and let go of each other. I smile and hold up my hand, "It's cool, I'm unarmed."
I get nothing but silence, then I hear Orli giggle nervously. I laugh and pull him into the room. "Ok, now that we are all here, listen Billy if you were going to start this new life away from El because of the past... maybe you don't need to."

Looking back at El I place my hand on his cheek and rub my thumb over his cheek bone, "But do you want more?"
