BloodStar

Chapter 179: The Final Hour

Nero ascended the uppermost staircase of Bella Domina as he approached the rooftop terrace. The terrace was beautifully designed with gargoyles, hanging gardens, and gothic style architecture finished with no detail spared in the hand carved designs.

Nero thought to himself, “Xenia said she had a surprise. While I am always keen to receive her surprises, I do not like the public nature of being in the open air with her prone to surveillance.”

He took the last step up the staircase and pushed his way through the door exiting onto the rooftop terrace. It was night, and all of the lights were off; however, it took him no time to find Xenia who wore her crimson red leather mini dress and matching stiletto heels.

She beckoned him with her finger, and he walked over to her.

“Thank you for meeting me up here, Nero. I know it goes against your better judgment. But it’s our final hour for what is one of the most important rituals in my life. The risk is an afterthought to me.” Xenia welcomed him with her hand against his chest as he stepped in front of her.

Nero nodded but also responded with persistent concern, “I won’t deny you, but this has more risk than you know. We are almost certainly to be surveilled. If we have a continuation of the type of sex we have been having inside, it will be noticed.”

At that very moment, Nero felt a rain drop fall from the sky and hit his lower lip. He motioned to wipe it from his face; however, Xenia stopped him, “I’ll get it.”

She leaned in and kissed him. That’s when Nero realized it wasn’t a rain drop. Several more drops began to fall on and around him as well as Xenia. He looked to her as she was peppered with red dollops of blood falling from the sky.

She smiled and tilted her head slightly with a cute look, “In the final hour, we exchange rings. But before that, I wanted a little foreplay. Don’t worry, no wild, violent sex. I promise. Just making out in the rain. A rain I’ve arranged for.”

It began to rain in earnest as blood fell from the sky overhead slowly drenching both Nero and Xenia as they made out tasting the iron of the blood drops in every kiss they exchanged.

As the rain turned to a torrential downpour, Nero couldn’t help but give more thought to his concerns, “This would have required hundreds, maybe thousands of bodies to procure.”

Xenia smiled at him, “I was discreet. Don’t worry. 976 bodies to be exact. Let’s enjoy it while it lasts. A little foreplay before we make this final.”

Xenia pushed him back onto an outdoor couch and climbed atop him as she began to both kiss him and lick the accumulating blood from his face.

Nero returned her kisses and found the flavor of blood on his mouth as it dripped from his face and oozed off Xenia’s kisses.

Before long the rain began to abate. Xenia let out a sigh, “976 bodies doesn’t go a long way when you make rain. I need tens of thousands next time.”

She ran her tongue from Nero’s chin all the way up his face and then said, “I’m much much closer to full power than you realize, darling. However, out of respect for your concern and out of extreme caution, I will not declare myself alive just yet.”

Nero nodded, “Thank you. I think the longer we can wait, the better.”

She crossed her arms on his chest holding herself up over him, “But I will continue to push my luck. I want to be caught eventually. Does that make me a bad girl?”

Nero smirked at her, and she smiled back, “I guess it does, doesn’t it?”

She then pushed off from his chest and stood up next to him. The terrace was covered in blood. Xenia began to walk towards the staircase with her boots making small splashes in puddles. She looked back over her shoulder before entering the staircase, “This is just what I needed to warm me up. Meet me in the cathedral in thirty minutes. I have another idea in mind. One you will be much more keen to hear than this rooftop soiree.”

Nero furrowed his brow wondering what it could be, “I will be down there at once. What would you like for me to wear?”

As she descended the staircase, she called out to him without looking back, “Why nothing of course!”

______________________________

Nero waited at the top of the stairs at the far end of the cathedral near a stone altar table. He stood completely naked with a body which rivaled any historical depictions of gods.

He stood patiently until at last, his empress arrived. She entered through a set of double doors opposite Nero, and she began to walk down the aisle towards him.

She wore a full ballgown dress. The dress was black and form-fitting down to her waist where it expanded with a full-length train following her for 10 feet. It was the same dress she had worn for her ceremonial conception with Jacek though Nero did not know.

Her dress flowed behind her gracefully, and her hands carried a large bouquet of blood-red roses along with a small black box. Her hair was up in intricately braided patterns that would have taken lesser women hours and hours to complete to the degree of perfection she wore it in.

She walked up to him and without a word presented a small black chest to him. He took it, and she said, “Open it.”

He placed it upon the altar table and opened it to reveal two ki-laden ruby-red rings crafted of unfinished stone.

He looked to her, “But… these were destroyed by Victoria? Weren’t they?”

She didn’t smile, and she didn’t answer him. She picked up the first ring and held it between her thumb and pointer finger, “Nero, do you accept this ring with the intent to wed me and serve me as my BloodStar Immortal for as long as I live?”

He knelt to the ground and immediately answered her, “I do.”

“Hold out your hand.” Xenia took the ring and slid it onto his ring finger. “Now stand.”

She then motioned with her hand for Nero to pick up the remaining ring, “I accept you as my BloodStar Immortal, and I accept you as my husband to serve me as long as I live. You may place the ring upon my finger.”

Nero took the ring and slid it onto her ring finger.

She finally smiled and said, “You may now kiss me.”

He immediately wrapped his huge muscular arms around her waist and chest and pulled her in for a sensual, long kiss. The feeling of her latex dress up against his body made him want to take her right on the spot.

Likewise, Xenia could feel his massive cock pushing up against her dress, and she had an urge to fuck him.

She pushed him back and said, “These rings have been in the BloodStar Family for longer than recorded history. My mother would never destroy them. She had her reasons for deceit in the past, but the past is gone now. Do you know the power of these rings?”

Nero nodded, “I have heard whispers. The two ring bearers can transfer ki to one another if needed, making a very powerful duo. But also, both users must trust one another completely. Otherwise, there can be fatal consequences of transferring ki.”

She smiled and caressed his face, “Very good, Nero. And the rings only work together within about 100 yards of each other. Furthermore, they require a strong mental connection. One of love and passion. Otherwise, they fail. Crafted with a ki technique lost to time.”

She admired the ring on her finger holding it up to the lights overhead, “I can’t fathom a time when I would need more ki from you; however, this may serve quite useful to empower you on the battlefield. Furthermore, it is the gap between our power that prevents you from giving me an heir. But this… may close that gap.”

Nero’s eyes widened. Xenia immediately tempered his enthusiasm, “It may. Allow me to make you a deal.”

Nero felt his empress take over his body with a bloodbending so strong, he couldn’t have phased it in the slightest with all of his combined power. He climbed atop the stone altar table and laid down on his back.

She then walked up to the side of the table and took his cock in her hand as she began to stroke it up and down with her black latex glove while she ran her other hand along his body.

“You and I use these rings to bridge the gap in our power tonight. If you impregnate me with an heir, I will remain in hiding for the entirety of my pregnancy and post-partum period. However, if you fail to give me an heir. I will continue to have my fun with increasingly risky behavior until the discovery of my existence is finally upon us. At which point, I will make my first strike and begin my campaign to bring this world to my knees.”

Nero tried to nod; however, he was helpless to move. Xenia didn’t look for his confirmation, “That is my deal. You accept because I say you do. Now let’s begin.”

She swung her dress over his body and climbed atop the table and onto his pulsing cock. Her dress train covered him in his entirety as she began to perform the exact same ceremony as she had with Jacek.

Nero was immobilized, and just as Jacek had been, he was content to lay there as Xenia began to slide up and down on his cock cowgirl style.

While Xenia couldn’t ignore the pleasure of having Nero inside of her, it was not her real reason for fucking him. She focused her energy on filtering his ki and his entire life force gathering it at the tip of his cock inside of her. This barrier would serve as a shield for his sperm to reach her eggs after ejaculation.

Although both Xenia and Nero shared BloodStar ki which was nearly identical… it was only nearly identical. Nero had the most strength and the most compatibility with Xenia of any man in the world, and yet her ki had become far too powerful to overcome for even him with all of his advantages.

Xenia then held her hand up in front of her and used her ki to activate her Blood Ring. It began to glow a deep crimson red, and Nero felt a swell of energy within his body.

His ring lit up red as it received her influx of ki. She began a continuous transfer of ki to him which she continuously filtered, holding it ready at the tip of his cock in a small, dense ball of energy.

She began to moan with pleasure as she could feel his cock and energy inside of her with an exquisite sensitivity.

She began to ride his cock harder and faster, and she reached down pulling her dress over his face preventing him from breathing for a moment as she rode his cock. The asphyxiation gave a rush of blood to Nero’s cock, and his pleasure began to mount in earnest as his empress continued to fuck him and gather his ki for the purpose of giving her an heir.

He had never felt more honor in his life to be used in such a way by the one woman he loved more than his own life.

As Xenia made the barrier of his ki more and more dense, she felt a diminishing return of density as it began to require more units of ki to increase the density of the barrier.

She continued to transfer and filter; however, she began to notice a problem. It was the same problem that Nero felt.

As more and more ki transferred to his body, he could feel an overwhelming pressure. A pressure brought about by excess energy trying to escape his body.

Xenia bit her lip, “No. No! This isn’t going to work. We aren’t even close to the energy we need, and yet your body is already failing.”

Nero grit his teeth and yelled through the pressure which was quickly becoming pain, “Do it! Keep going!”

She kept transferring more and more of her ki into Nero, and he couldn’t help but think, “Holy shit! So this is the true might of my empress. A bottomless well of infinite ki!”

His body began to fail as his skin started to disintegrate, and his internal organs began to evaporate under the stress.

Xenia thought to herself, “My power is natural, and my body loves it. My every cell accepts my ki without problem. This is the difference between a true BloodStar and a BloodStar Immortal.”

She grit her teeth in frustration as she came to the conclusion this had failed. In her frustration, she transferred a huge bolus of ki to Nero through their rings, and his body instantly exploded.

Xenia threw her head back in pleasure as his cock exploded inside of her sending shivers of pleasure up her body and a waterfall of blood out of her body where his cock had been.

She reached down to run her finger through the blood on her body, and she then licked it up.

“So, just like the Perfect Warrior technique with Jacek and Jarek, Nero cannot hold all of the ki he collects either.”

As Nero had been covered by her dress as she fucked him, the explosion of his body was confined between the table and her dress. She dismounted from the table to see the aftermath, and growled with pleasure, “So that is the source of my orgasm. My exploding lover. Exploding inside of me. I may have to try that yet again. Mmm.”

She then held out a healing white light of ki and extended it over the body parts and blood atop the table.

It wasn’t long before Nero was reanimated, and he immediately knelt before Xenia, “Forgive me, my empress! I have failed you!”

She stood before him in her full-length black dress and simply said, “While you did fail to give me an heir, Nero, you will be pleased to know that the gap between us was much less than I expected. It should be achievable if you continue to grow in strength.”

She bloodbent him to his feet, and she began to kiss him, “And now, as part of our deal, I can begin to have my fun.”

She kissed him over and over again pushing him back onto the table, “Our 24 hours is up. Now fuck me for the first time as my betrothed!”
