The sunlight was barely peeking through the curtain when I was jolted awake in cold sweat. My hands clasped my throat feeling choked and dry. Nightmares, Maxine croaked, you were screaming.
I wiped my eyes — my cheeks were still wet. Tears. Horror crept up. It wasn't just a bad dream, Max, it was real. I clutched my chest and rocked my body involuntarily.
Only then, I realized someone was screaming my name.
Troy? Why? How??? I caught a glimpse of a little boy...calling me?? But from where...?
"Trin! Trin! Trinity!!! Please, oh, please, say something, TRIN!!!" Kaid gripped my shoulder and wiped my cheeks, calling me out loud.
I felt as if I just woke up from a trance.
"Kaid?" I whispered.
"Oh, thank God, for a moment I thought I lost you. Did you have nightmares? You were screaming and crying!" Kaid exhaled and hugged me tight.
"Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry," I muttered.
"Trin, are you okay? Tell me anything," Kaid demanded, "Did you have nightmares?"
"More like a premonition," I looked at him hesitantly.
Kaid sat up straight, still holding my hand. "Troy, you were calling for Troy.." he said.
The agony I felt just now came back. My chest tightened. Tell him, Maxine urged.
"I don't remember much...it's just a glimpse of a little boy — Troy, I guess — which was weird because I never knew him as a little boy that age, but he showed me two pendants. One shattered and smeared with blood....from my hands...? The other was stabbed by a dagger, made of selenite? The dagger then stabbed him and he was gone. I mean, he died. In my arms..." I cited the whole ordeal. Suddenly a wave of emotion came over me and I sobbed. I believed it was a premonition. Someone was going to die.
Kaid said nothing. For a long while he sat there rocking me, soothing me.
When I seemed to have calmed down, he spoke to me very softly, "Trin, let's meet with Siona and find out. The dagger was made of selenite? That's oddly specific."
I nodded.
"I am here for you. Let's not worry now, I'm pretty sure there's an explanation to all of it," he assured me.
Maxine, I'm scared, I reached out to her. I could feel her cowering. Not answering me. That alone should tell me how serious this nightmare was.

I slept again for a bit, and when I woke up, Kaid already mindlinked Rich to pick us up.
"It's a bit chilly in here," Kaid handed a spare sweater for me to wear, "I will ask someone to install a heater here. You will not survive the winter in here."
I slipped into the oversized sweater and felt the wool warm and soft against my skin. I got up and decided to wash my face.
"Kaid," I called out, "What time is it?"
"Don't know. I left my phone at home," he shrugged, "are you hungry?"
My tummy rumbled before I could answer. Kaid grinned, "Me too. Let's go to Sheridan's for breakfast."
Sheridan's was our go-to breakfast spot for years. It was a pretty eatery next to a lake — but we haven't been there lately.
I looked at myself, feeling rather inadequate. Kaid chuckled, "Okay, worry not, let's go home and shower, change into a more proper clothes, and then we go for breakfast."
"Besides," he added, "You look beautiful nonetheless." Kaid kissed my forehead.
Suddenly, somebody banged on our door.
"Kaid! Trin! You there??" Bang. Bang. Bang.
"Rich?" I glanced at Kaid, "Yes, coming!"
I opened the door, and Rich smiled so bright my eyes hurt. "Wonderful night, eh?," he snickered. Kaid and I shot him a glare.
"I took a buggy here. Let's go," Rich motioned outside, "'Tis gonna rain real soon. You don't want to get soaked through, do you? Come on!"
I sighed and locked the door behind me.
Rich was already waving his hands from the buggy. "You realize I'm not going to let this slide without hearing the full story, right?" Rich cackled and teased Kaid relentlessly all the way back home.
—————
Unfortunately for us, it did rain right before we reached the back porch.
"Dang, the rain got us 5 minutes before we reach safety!" Rich splattered water from his shirt and boots.
"Let's quickly shower and I will see you in the living room, okay?" Rich rushed to his room. Kaid stood there baffled.
I opened the door to my room, which was actually closest to the back porch. As I entered, Kaid followed closely behind. He clicked the key on the door handle, and smiled. "The rain was not the only thing that splattered everywhere," he said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Is this what I think this is?" I challenged him.
Kaid grinned. He pushed open the bathroom door, "Tell me you don't want this." He stepped in and turned on the hot shower.
"Geez," I taunted him, "make me want you."
Kaid didn't need any more invitation. He kissed me hungrily. His hands skillfully undressed me — he quickly opened the clasp of my bra. The strap slid away and my breasts popped up. I stepped away from my pants, leaving me only in panties.
Kaid broke away from our kisses, fully undressed himself, and his member was fully erected. I felt wetness pooling inside my panties. "You are soaked," Kaid casually rubbed his hands on the outside of my panties. My heart was beating so fast. I whimpered, feeling myself lose control.
Kaid tore open my panties. My pussy was definitely glistening with arousal. He led me into the shower. The hot shower pattered on our back and shoulder, luckily dampening our moans and shudders.
Kaid continued circling my clit while he entered me from behind. His member slid right in, forcing my juices to leak. I started grinding my ass against his pelvis, asking him to pump harder. Only primal grunts and moans while our bodies collided. He pumped in and out of me, one hand straddling my arms, the other still diligently flicking my clit. I was already on the verge of cumming.
"Kaid...I'm going to cum.." I panted.
"Nope, hold it in," he ordered me.
I tried my best holding it in, but the sensation was too much to handle. "I....can't....I....ahhhh...cumming, I'm cumming!"
My hips buckled and my legs trembled. My clit was pinched hard and I squirted onto the floor. I was dripping insanely. Kaid didn't stop at all — he slammed himself even deeper, his tip meeting my cervix. I felt him growing rock hard and he croaked while shooting his seeds right into my womb. The warmth made my walls clenched instantly. My fingers instinctively found my nub and rubbed it furiously until I came again, leaking juices on my thigh.
Kaid flipped me and his dick was still rock hard. He grunted and entered me again, this time hoisting my left leg onto his shoulder. He stretched my walls, and found his rhythm again. I could no longer control my movements. His pelvic hitting my clit and my spot repeatedly. I came again, and again, and again until I lost count.
My back was pressed on the wall and it was the only thing holding me up. "Kaid....," I squealed, "I'm gonna cum hard, I can feel it coming... Please hold me, hold me....aaahhhh..."
My whole body shivered and shuddered, my legs gave out. It was as if something imploded within me. Kaid held me up, pushed himself a couple times, and orgasmed inside. We stood there spent, our bodies slick and dripping with all kinds of liquid.
After a while, we silently washed up, unable to speak in between the suds and showers. Kaid took a fresh towel and covered me with a fluffy robe. He kissed me on the cheek lightly.
"That was easily one of my best experience," he smiled, "You are incredible!"
"And you are insane!" I retorted, and laughed. "Oh, now quickly change, we are so very late!"
Kaid giggled. I quickly picked a flowy dress and put on a light makeup. When we were both ready, Kaid took my arms and whispered, "I need your permission to mark you. Please think about it, and let me know."
I shot him a look, my mouth agaped.
"But....?" I was unable to process his request.
"Just think about it. I want to make it official," Kaid said earnestly, "Brunch, okay, now we go for brunch, not breakfast anymore!"
I sighed. Oh, this man is so unbelievable.
