Lilith saw the object in the butterfly's grip was a little note. She picked it out of the butterfly's grasp and said butterfly flew away. She opened the note and was confused at what she read.

"Look to your right" it said and she obeyed.

Before she could even ask what it was about she found her back to the chair and a pair of hot, demanding lips devouring her own. Lilith's wide eyes were met with the sight of Tyki's own dark orbs. The expression she found in them caused her already heartbeat to accelerate. There was no way Tyki couldn't have noticed the organ pounding erratically against her chest, as his was pressed tightly against her own.

Lilith's slid her eyes shut and responded, fingers tangling in his dark, silky locks. With a half-growl of what you assumed was approval, the Noah nipped at her bottom lip, demanding entrance which she gave without question, and he started exploring it in detail as if trying to memorize it all. ((This wasn't Lilith's first time kissing a male ;D ))

"He tastes faintly smoky," was Lilith's first thought when the man's tongue began to explore. "But it's not like a smoker's kiss... it's actually more like a sweet, comforting, campfire like smoke."

Her thoughts soon became a jumbled mess once Tyki's slick appendage began massaging her own. Mentally she smirked wickedly as a thought came to mind; something she wanted to try. Catching the invading tongue between her teeth, she sucked gently, running the tip of her own tongue along the underside of his. Slight though it was Lilith felt Tyki's body shudder. Reluctantly, the Noah of Pleasure removed his lips, hands on either side of her head.

Lilith and Tyki smiled at each other and Tyki said, "I think I love you."

Lilith blushed and Tyki just smirked and he picked her up, bridal style. Lilith rested her head against Tyki's chest and he kissed the top of her head.

She smiled as she noticed where she was being taken; it was the small table surrounded by a canopy that was made out of the rose plants that made the walls. She smiled as she remembered how she got lost by running around with Emilia and found Tyki sitting there.

Tyki placed her down on a seat and took his place next to her saying, "This is where the real desert will be held." And just as he said that two servants came out with a bottle of champagne, two glasses, a rose cake, two plates, and two forks.

When they were placed on the table Lilith asked, "Did you mean what you said?"

Tyki poured the bubbling champagne in the glasses and said, "Yes."

Lilith blushed and then said, "Then I have something I wish to tell you as well."

Tyki cut the cake and put a piece on Lilith's and his plates before asking, "And what is that?"

Lilith took a deep breath and said, "I love you Tyki."

Tyki smiled and said, "You don't know how happy I am to hear that."

He ran his cool fingertips along the line of Lilith's jaw, halting when he reached the curve of the bone.

"May I?," He whispered, his breath warm on her.

His breath was ghosting across her lips now, and he was so tantalizingly close to her. Tyki placed two fingers under her chin.

Lilith choked out a, "Yes."

Tyki pressed his lips so tenderly to hers that Lilith actually thought that he loved her. When he released Lilith he held her hand and asked, "Would you mind coming here tomorrow night so I may begin to court you?"

Lilith blushed but said with a smiled, "Yes. I'll come back tomorrow."

Tyki smiled kissed her lightly on the lips once again before saying, "The cake is delicious."

Lilith smiled and took a bite; with wide eyes she thought, "It really is good."

Tyki smiled and stated, "Glad you like it. It's one of my favorites. Do you mind if I smoke? (*1)"

Lilith looked at him confused and asked you smoke?"

Tyki looked at her and then put his thumb to his chin, looked up in thought and then said, "I guess I never have smoked in front of you before have I?" Lilith shook her head and Tyki looked at her and smiled, "Well now that you know do you mind smoking?"

"I don't mind if other people smoke I just have to ask if you or I walk away while you do. I never could handle the smoke." Lilith stated.

Tyki mock frowned and asked, "So then you don't like my smell?"

Lilith blushed, looked away, and said, "Actually I like your smell... but just the cigarette, or cigar, or whatever you smoke I don't like without it being on a person."

Tyki smirked as she looked back at him and then said, "Well then come here for a second," Lilith leaned in and Tyki grabbed hold of her in a hug and put his head in the crook of her neck.

Lilith blushed and asked, "Tyki what are you doing?" his head then moved through her hair and he inhaled.

"I'm smelling you." Tyki plainly stated, Lilith blushed a deeper red and Tyki continued, "You smell like the night rain."

He released her and Lilith asked, "Night rain?"

Tyki smiled and said, "You know when it rains the air gets a certain smell in the air?" Lilith nodded, "Well you smell like that but you didn't fit what I thought of mid day or morning rain... the only way I can describe it is night rain."

Lilith kept trying to imagine night rain but all she could come up with was the smell the air had when it rained and she had to take that as compliment; she loved her smell. Lilith smiled and Tyki stood up and said, "I'm going to go a distance away so I can smoke."

Lilith nodded and Tyki left cigarette in mouth, match box in hand. Lilith continued to eat her cake and thought of what Tyki smelled like, which wasn't going well because she didn't sniff him.

"He smells like rose cigars." Snake-Lilith stated.

"How would you know?" Lilith asked blushing.

"I'm a snake, I smell with my tongue." Snake-Lilith stated plainly.

Lilith grew a deeper shade of red when she realized Tyki was starting to walk back over to her and adding to the fact that Snake-Lilith just told her how she found out how she figured out his smell.

Tyki sat next to her and smiled saying, "Well I guess I must escort you back to your room seeing that it seems to be getting late."

Lilith nodded and they stood up. Tyki offered his arm to her which she gladly took and was led back to the house. When they got inside it was quiet though a sleeping quiet.

They walked down the hall and when they reached Lilith's room Tyki took her hand, lightly kissed it and asked, "So are we still on for tomorrow?"

Lilith smiled and replied, "As long as you are."

Tyki laughed and then turned around saying, "See you tomorrow." And he walked through a wall and was gone.

Lilith headed into her bedroom and smiled before going into the bathroom to change into her night clothes. She then got a thought that made her feel terrified of this relationship with Tyki; she was just a servant in society. She splashed water in her face and thought, "I really want to be with Tyki now since I made up my mind but I don't think I would make him do this for his own good."

Snake-Lilith scoffed and then replied, "Well I think you boy has a plan because he seemed awful chipper about tomorrow night. Almost eager to tell you right away."

Lilith was confused with what Snake-Lilith meant and asked, "Are you implying you know something I don't?"

Snake-Lilith laughed and replied, "Yes. In fact I was personally told of his plan and I can't tell you."

Lilith frowned as she slid over her night gown over her head, "When did you take over my body last?"

"You actually fell asleep on the carriage ride home from the vacation and I thought I'd ask some questions to Tyki of his intent." Snake-Lilith replied, "And I have t say I think he is a fine match for you."

Lilith plopped on the bed and smiled, "I'm glad you like him Lilith."

She could feel Snake-Lilith inwardly smirk and she stated, "Well I'm sure that so as long as you are happy I'm fine with whatever decision you make my vessel."

Lilith smiled and then began to drift into the magic world of dreams.

She was now in a field with Snake-Lilith and this time Snake-Lilith had a bow and quiver with arrows in it. Though what was different about everything she held was that it kept changing into different forms of the bow and arrow.

Snake-Lilith smiled and said, "This is what I'll be teaching you how to use tonight. But this has so many forms I have to get you to hold these ever changing weapons while I force the knowledge in your head."

Lilith nodded, took the weapons and she stated, "I'm ready."

Snake-Lilith put her forehead to Lilith's and the pain of forced knowledge filled her but it wasn't as bad as the first time she tried.

It still felt like an eternity and she could still feel what each of the weapons felt like when it was used and used against. Lilith didn't think she'd ever get over this pain due to those two ever changing factors.

Snake-Lilith removed her head from Lilith's and held the girl up as she slumped to the floor. Snake-Lilith smiled and said, "This actually went faster than I thought. You mind must've been eager to learn about archery."

Lilith looked up at Snake-Lilith and said, "It didn't feel any shorter to me."

Snake-Lilith laughed and replied, "Well time to get you into a dream. Now just close your eyes and I'll spin you a dream."

Lilith did as she was told and before she knew it, it was the next morning and she felt well rested and she knew how to use archery. Lilith smiled and got up to get ready for her day.

"I wonder what Tyki has in store for me." Lilith thought while picking out a simple dress to wear today.

Snake-Lilith laughed and replied, "It will be worth the wait my vessel. You will be pleased."

Lilith pouted and asked, "Come on just one little hint?"

Snake-Lilith smiled and said, "Sorry but even the most minuscule of hint would give it away."

Both Lilith's laughed and Lilith was almost finished when she heard a knock at the door.

She looked at the door as she made sure her body was at least decently covered and thought, "Who could that be?"

*1 I noticed, thanks to a reviewer of mine, that I never had Tyki smoke in this so I thought I'd add this so you don't think I forgot.
