Peri held tightly onto one of the cell walls, back in the Siberian compound for the Ahriman. She wanted Daryush and he wanted her. She knew after this rough love making session they would have to talk. She knew part of his plan was to use human weapons against the Daeva. What she had not known was that he would use the weapons to rescue her.
She gazed deeply into his reddish blue eyes. She watched him lick his lips as if he would devour her. She leapt forward to drape herself into his body. She kissed him with animal passion. She ran her hand over his bared chest. She needed him. He needed her. Their relationship had its passion.
They made love on the cold concrete flood. Exhausted both held onto each other.
Peri was the first one to speak after a few moments. “Do you think the Daeva will be merciful to Irti?”
“No, I testified.” He kissed his lover on the forehead. “This is not your concern love. She decided to rescue a human. She decided to kill one of our trusted women. She has been our enemy for centuries.”
Peri snuggled closer to him. “You are correct. But don’t you think since she served the Daeva so faithfully.”
“No.” He firmly said.
She knew that he was ending the conversation but she did not want to so Peri pressed her point forward. “Irti has a good history of loyalty to the Daeva. Look at what she did when she found out who you were. Yes, she stayed with you for a while but. . .”
He kissed Peri on the forehead. “If I did not loose Irti we would not have had the opportunity to become lovers.” He stated that fact more than just this time in the past.
Peri got up off the floor and out of his arms. She stood in her naked glory in front of the prone male. She stretched. “I think you still have a thing for her.”
He jumped up onto his feet and pulled Peri to him. “If you think that, you are a fool.” He pressed his lips possessively to hers. She melted into his embrace once again.
After some heavy petting both were back on the cold cement floor. Peri had been curious about the male that Irti rescued. She knew who he was but her fear that Daryush would know haunted her. The man was her son, Jarrett. She had on the way back to Siberia pressed Daryush about the male Irti had rescued but he did not tell her anything. She once again pressed the issue. “Do you know the human or his origins?”
“No.” Daryush said with a little bit of impatience in his voice. “If I did not know better, I’d think you were pushing me for information because you liked the man.”
She giggled more to herself than at his comment. “That my dear is funny. Your jealousy.”
He got up onto his knees to look directly at her. “I am not jealous.”
Peri got up off the floor. She stood once again naked before him but she was not enticing him like last time. “I need to wash up. And next times we make love make sure there is a more comfortable location. The cement floor is not good for my back.”
Daryush looked at her in disbelief. “You have never complained before.”
“I guess I am getting old.” Peri said.
She flounced off, her wings drug on the floor leaving a path behind her in the dust.
Daryush sat there on his knees for a while pondering what had just happened.
She was a mystery to him still. That is what he liked about her the most. But something distressed him. He knew it was her interest in the human. She never before had such concern in her voice for the man.
Daryush did not tell her that Irti was banished. He also knew Irti had nowhere to go in the human world. He did not offer her a place to stay at the compound. He did that only because he felt that having another woman he was sexually attracted to in the compound would cause friction.
The man, the red headed freckled man, she brought over the portal to the Daeva world. He was a curiosity to Daryush. Irti would not have done that in the past. Maybe it was too much to think that he had influenced her more than he thought.
He got up from his knees. He decided that he would visit Irti in the human world. Maybe he could formulate a plan that could benefit that Ahriman, by using this new compassion that Irti had proven she felt.
He walked from the room following the trail in the dust on the floor. He stalked Peri. His lust reignited because ideas of the next attack on the Daeva were now running through his head.
His revenge was finally in his reach and Irti, god love her, gave that to him.
