Blessed by Night

Chapter 91  They're Official! Yay!

Mal was admittedly very reluctant to let Luna go.

Her figure was a bit more slender than Sei's but she was somehow just as soft. Luna had grown tired of Mal taking the lead in their relationship despite being younger, so she was actually being quite sensual and aggressive. Her hands lightly caressed his face as she sucked and bit his lips with fervor, earning a shiver with every action. Eventually Mal's mind shut off and he allowed his body's instincts to take over.

His hands dropped from her waist and traveled all the way to her plump bottom, prompting him to give her a firm squeeze. Luna moaned lightly into Malachi's mouth, and her soft feminine voice only served to send his body further into heat. Much to his dismay, she broke their kiss first and rested her head against his chest, her breathing ragged and heavy. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Malachi was still a bit rilled up, and he placed his lips at various spots along her smooth porcelain neck, earning more stifled moans. "Is our entire relationship going to be like this..?" She asked shakily. "Like what?"

"You just say and do things that make me want to throw myself at you... as if I'm some young girl with no control."

Malachi smiled as he lightly bit Luna's neck with his pointed teeth. "That's how a relationship is supposed to be, no?"

"I-I don't know... it's been so long for me that I don't have any idea what I'm doing anymore."

Malachi suddenly froze from his deviant like activities and instead pulled Luna in for a hug.

"It's not like I'm an expert either, I'm still learning new things with Sei everyday. We can all figure this out together."

"...I'm not against that... please take care of both of us."

"Of course."

Mal lifted Luna by the chin and kissed her much gentler than before, and the entire world seemed to fade away around them. He didn't ask why Luna was so averse to relationships, or what she had gone through in her past, as he just assumed that she would tell him when the time was right.

Click.

Suddenly, the door to the apartment opened and Sei poked her head outside cutely. "Ah, I-I'm sorry I may have been spying a little bit and gotten slightly jealous... Can I have a kiss too?"

Malachi chuckled and beckoned his girlfriend closer, and soon he was embracing both mature beauties in his arms. Luna seemed to have developed quite the jealous streak already, since every time that he kissed Sei she would demand one in return. Of course Sei did the same thing...

Leading to Mal being trapped in this never ending cycle the likes of which he had no real desire to escape from. But after a while, it did start to become uncomfortable. "Girls, I'd love to keep doing this all night but I'm sure dinner is ready..." "It's not." Sei said as she demanded another kiss.

Truthfully, Mal was just using dinner as an excuse.

Blue balls wasn't really a fun thing to experience, and having Luna and Sei consistently rub against it was only making things worse.

In a few more minutes he was either going to turn his pants into a Jackson pollock paining or kick everyone in his apartment out for the night.

...His mind was coming dangerously close to the later. Suddenly, the door opened once again and Bianca stepped out but she looked a little different from usual.

She normally wore very revealing clothes and let her hair flow freely down her back, but now she had on a black anime t-shirt and a matching dark sweater with shorts and hightop skate shoes. Her hair was tied in a messy bun, and she wore a pair of cute yet nerdy glasses on her beautiful face. "Hey guys, dinner is- Kyaa! S-Sorry!"

She prepared to turn around and head back into the house, when Mal stopped her at the last moment. "Wait, B. It's alright."

"Kinda feels like I'm seeing something private though... in more ways than one..."

Bianca glanced down at the large bulge in Mal's sweatpants and she felt like she was going to faint. Luna and Sei both pulled away from Mal and he took that moment to sit down while crossing his legs. "I-I'll be inside in a minute, you guys can just start without me." He said as he scratched his head.

"Okay, honey."

"Alright... don't keep us waiting."

Sei and Luna stepped back inside of the house, leaving Bianca standing awkwardly in the doorframe. "You look different." Mal suddenly said. No three words could have caused Bianca's heart to drop more than those. "Y-Yea... I don't usually dress like this but I was feeling a bit lazy today and I decided to throw on whatever s-so..."

"I like it."

"I know my outfit is cheeks but- Wait, huh?"

Bianca's brain suddenly felt like it had taken a hard reset, and she nearly lost all strength in her legs.

"Somehow, you look a lot happier like this." Malachi said with a smile. "You were always beautiful but I think I prefer this look more. Besides, I love food wars."

Bianca's weeb switch had finally been flipped and she appeared in front of Mal with a blinding glint in her eyes. "R-Really? Who's your favorite character??" "Probably Joichiro. He should've had his own show."

By now, Bianca's heart had begun beat dangerously fast. There is little more exciting to a lover of anime than the moment that you realize you've met someone who likes your favorite show just as much as you do.

She had gotten so excited that her temperature had begun to flare up and her glasses became foggy. "You're right! I really wanted to see him.."

Bianca and Mal spent much longer talking about anime than they'd expected.

Her natural enthusiasm over the topic ended up getting him pretty fired up as well, and soon they were embroiled in full blown debates that only they and Aisha could understand. They confused the hell out of everyone at dinner, but they were so happy watching them that they didn't really open their mouths to complain. 'This is perfect...' Mal thought happily. 'I wish things like this would last forever.' Right now, nothing could ruin his mood or dull his happiness. - The next morning. Luna was staring at Mal who was lying on the floor of the training room, breathing heavily and covered in sweat.

"What happened?" She asked. Rowan was standing next to her, wearing an ' I told you so' look on his face.

  "For some reason, the kid's in a real rush today... ever since he came in he's been pushing his blessings past their limit, especially Nyx's... stupid brat."

"I.. can hear you, old man." Mal said between labored breaths. "Good."

Luna blinked her eyes several times as she tried to get the image of Mal's shirtless and sweaty body out of her mind. 'Focus, focus!' After sharing that kiss with him last night she couldn't get odd thoughts out of her mind, and it was beginning to affect her work.

She was eating a sausage at breakfast earlier and nearly gagged on it out of instinct. "Hm? Your face is red, Boss Luna. Are you warm in here?" Rowan asked. "Ah, n-no." She said as she shook her head in embarrassment. She finally turned her focus back to the young man lying on the floor and was able to maintain some degree of professionalism. "What's going on with you, darling? It's not like you to be impatient like this."

'It was nauseating over dinner last night, but I think it might be even worse now.' Rowan rolled his eyes as he made a silent vow to finally get on a dating site and find his own happiness again. Mal looked up at both of them and flashed a helpless smile. "I have two beautiful girlfriends and a mouthy old grandfather. If I don't get stronger how am I supposed to protect you?"

"..."

"..."

"...Not buying it, huh?"

""No.""

"Damn."

Malachi sat up on the ground after taking another deep breath. "Love, would you mind cutting the cameras in here for a moment?"

Luna was surprised by his sudden request but typed away on her wristwatch nonetheless. Once the cameras were deactivated, Mal sighed deeply before he realized that he had no idea where to begin.

"I guess.. I should start with how Grandpa Rowan and I met..." He muttered. For twenty minutes, he retold the entire timeline of events that led to him being contacted by the dark angels and eventually how he traveled to their headquarters yesterday. He told them about his shady meeting with Joanne and how he'd sensed something strange coming from her body, as well as how they fought. When he got to the part about how it was revealed that she was being controlled by Alex Heller, Luna and Rowan were even more shocked than before. "She'll be moving on him soon, probably within the next few days... I have to get as strong as I can to close the gap between us before then."

"Darling, you don't have to do something dangerous like that!" Luna said. "Let the dark angels take care of it, it's literally what they were created for."

"Luna."

For the first time, Luna saw Mal with a very serious look on his face and she knew that he was not joking about this. "He tried to hurt Nina and Opal, and he stole from the guild. Your guild. Why would I let something like that go?"

Luna's heart was suddenly filled with a wave of complex emotions.

The knowledge that Malachi had killed someone didn't bother her nearly as much as the idea of him putting himself in harms way for her.

Primordial blessed are special existences, and a proper comparison between them and regular blessed is very difficult to draw.

The closest one would be watching a professional MMA fighter go toe to toe with a toddler. But Malachi's powers weren't nearly at the level where he could contend with Alex yet.

The master of True Sky would probably kill him with the same amount of energy that it would take to tie his shoes.

"Kid... I am so sorry." Rowan dropped his head as low as it would go, and it seemed like the old man was on the verge of tears. "I've gotten you into so much trouble... I should have been satisfied enough that such a monster was locked behind bars, but I..." Rowan didn't finish his sentence, but Malachi hardly needed him to. "You didn't make me do anything, old man. I wanted that guy to disappear just as badly as you did. Besides, you don't have anything to do with Alex hating me."

As Malachi consoled his 'grandfather',  Luna was still lost in thought, chewing on her nail.

She was pissed at Alex Heller too, but she knew full well that she couldn't do anything about it. Besides, she was more worried about Malachi and his single minded desire to take revenge on her behalf. 'It feels good to have him this upset over me... but I can't let him run into this blindly.'

Her mind made up, she reached into her back pocket and pulled out her cellphone.
