"You know my husband always said bad news is just good news in disguise?"
Slade raised a brow. "Was this...before he poisoned you?"
I pursed my lips. "Yes, it was."
He nods knowingly. "You should stop calling that man an improper title. He is not your husband."
I brush a curl behind my ear. "It's just a habit."
"A habit you should break as you are not his wife, but mine. Filthy humans have no claim to what belongs to the gods."
I glance up his eyes burning into me, brow slightly raised.
"Right..."
He goes silent, his default it seems.
"So...Slade. If you're a god why do you look human?"
Slade paused. I note that he doesn't seem interested in food. He eats it, rather dutifully but when he stops he looks at it in almost disgust.
"It's a form I take to soothe humans. I thought...you'd prefer this." He mumbled, running his fingers through his black hair.
We eat in silence for a moment. There's a question I really want to ask. I'm scared of the answer though, so I hold my tongue, swallowing the inquiries.
He's watching me again, I feel it. I stop tasting my food instead focusing on not being messy. His eyes sweep over my form.
"I'll be leaving soon," he murmured.
"Why?" I ask, playing with my ends. "For how long? And...hey, Slade?"
"Yes?"
"Why can't I leave?"
He sighs. "When you completed your devotion ceremony with me, I was curious. I came to see you. When I got there you were dying. I used some of my divine energy to keep you alive. And I brought you here."
"Oh..."
"In my estate is where my divine energy is the strongest. You're healthy here. When you leave without me, and my energy, you begin dying again."

I blink. "No...that's not possible that would mean..."
He stands. "If you leave the estate without me, you will die almost immediately."
I sit down. Can't leave? But he's right? When I stepped foot out the door, all the pain from that night came back.
So I'm stuck here? Wait...if I leave without him.
"Wait! I wanna go with you!" I grab his cape. "Let me go with you, to where ever you're going."
Slade looked down at me. "You will not like what you see," he swore. "I can promise you that."
"I don't care! I just...I need to get some fresh air. Take me with you, Slade. Please."
He nodded. "Alright. Whatever you wish, Monika."
I squeal, clapping my hands, jumping up and down. His eyes flit over my body as I do so, settling on my breasts. I look down, covering them hastily.
He meets my eye. "I'll leave tomorrow. You must not go far from me. Once we leave this estate, I have to keep physical contact with you."
I looked down. Physical contact. Like...
"I'll keep your hand in mine," he pulled her hand, tugging her close to him. "Like this. Don't go anywhere, alright?"
I nod, looking down at our hands. His hand engulfs mine, warm and rough.
My cheeks heat. "Ah...since I have to...it's fine."

Slade pulls me down out of the house, picking me up. He settled me on his arm.
"Don't you have a carriage?" I ask.
He carries me to the stables. "I don't use anything like that."
He pulls a horse from the stables, putting me on its back. I squeal, quickly leaning over. "Wait, wait I've never ridden a horse!"
He gets up on the horse behind me, holding me straight, his hands around my waist.
"Oh," my belly flutters. "Do you have to hold me there?" I ask, tucking a curl behind my ear.
His hand moves up around my chest, his hands on my breasts. I jump.
He frowns.
I pull his hand down. "Where it was was fine! It was fine, thanks."
He sighs. "So complicated."

Takumi no Eri
A romance set between in the generation between 'Kiri to Shinkiro' and 'Data Dragon Danika'. A sudden attraction leads to an unexpected test result that forces the two of them to make a choice, and start defining what kind of relationship this really is. I know it's a little odd to have posted both the prequel and the sequel in my Animephile before getting to this one, but honestly >_> it felt like this one (and its interwined twin that I started writing about half way through it, and will edit when this one is done) was just too smutty. I'm cleaning it up and toning it down to meet the rating as I go back through it.I'm only scheduling one chapter a week, because I'm also starting something in a new universe that I hope to have ready to begin posting sometime this summer.

This must be in the hidden gems collection " -3ndlesslove"This was, by far, the best one I've read. It just resonated with me when it came to Noah's POV. It wasn't something that just magically came together. It took time and effort for them to get to where they are, and I respect that. It taught me more about how to look at things so thanks a lot for making this book. I meant a lot to me. I will definitely read the sequel and your other books" - Generik_Jay
