Chapter 14 – Setting Sail

After the last note subsided softly, absolute silence filled the small cafe. I turned around not looking at the reactions of the people, but just gazing at Wanda. With tears trickling down her face, a hand covering her mouth and a gaze that spoke volumes of her surprise, joy and love.

Standing up, I didn't even really register the audience's thunderous applause, as I walked up to Wanda. Bending down to eye-level, I craddled her cheeks with my hands and wiped away her tears with my thumbs, before giving her a light and gentle kiss.

"Let's go home.", I whispered into her ears right after.

Wanda didn't reply, she just stood up and let me help her put on her coat, sticking to my side as we walked out of the cafe. while I had left behind some money on the table for our orders.

Walking to the nearest alley, grabbed Wanda in a princess carry as she automatically put her arms around my neck.

A moment later I entered my Speed-Mode and brought her back home in only a few seconds.

At this point in time my top speed was around Mach 6, breaking the barrier to Hyperspeed. At first my limit was by estimate around Mach 2, meaning I could avoid normal bullets easily, but high-calliber Armor-Piercing Bullets could possibly travel at speeds rivaling Mach 5. So with my current speed, there really wasn't a firearm that could hit me, if I was careful enough. Especially since my reaction time was incomparably faster than the average human.

Reaching our apartment, the door opened by itself, thanks to SILVER activating the electric lock.

"Thanks, SILVER.", I said in a quiet tone, not forgetting to give credit where credit was due.

Still, holding onto Wanda's hand, we went upstairs where I dropped the shopping bags on the floor. Turning around, I directly grabbed Wanda's sides and pulled her in for a deep kiss. As if she had been waiting for this all along, Wanda gave off a small relieved moan, while her hands found their way around my neck and to the back of my head.

Slowly our kiss got more and more heated, as we moved in the direction of our bedroom. Pulling piece after piece of clothing from each other. When we finally reached the side of our bed, we were both completely nude.

Softly pushing her backwards and following right after, I lay on top of Wanda, as I started to feast on her soft flesh that she had so generously presented. Sucking, licking and biting on the heavenly skin of her neck, breasts, abdomen and inner tighs, literally worshipping her gorgeous form.

She moaned and whimpered in pleasure, as I teased her with my ministrations. This turned into a cry of ectasy as I gave her sex my full attention a moment later. The way her lovely figure tensed and spasmed in delight had to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

A red fire was dancing in her eyes, as she used her powers to pull me up from my position between her tighs. Pushing me on my back, as she sat on top of me. Using her mouth to explore my neck the way I had done to her, as she knew that I loved it when she showed a bit of teeth while leaving behind plenty of love bites. Of course they all disappeared only moments later, with a slight blue glow of my skin.

As her nails brushed over my chest, down to my muscled stomach and finally one of her hands reached my member encircling it with her hand, or at least trying to. Her other hand buried in my hair, as I had pulled her towards me for a searing kiss my hand on the back of her neck.

Breaking the kiss for a moment, burning red eyes gazed into flaming crystal ones, as Wanda whispered short of breath.

"I love you, Pietro Maximoff. You make me whole."

Before I could answer, her lips sealed my own shut, while she impaled herself on my member, causing us both to moan into each others mouth. The way we exchanged even over breaths, fanned the flames of my desires even more.

Gripping her hips with one hand, guiding her up and down on my length. The way her hips started dancing and grinding, while her inner muscles tensed and spasmed massaging my rod. It pushed my passion to its absolute limit, as I moved my own hips, driving myself into her warm depth from below.

My other hand was caressing her breasts, as she moved her glistening body rythmically. Our eye contact never breaking, making this experience incredibly intense, as we saw the unmasked desire and love shining in each others eyes.

It didn't take long for us to reach our climax together. The moment we did, our minds were also connected over the bond we shared in a beautiful moment of perfect union.

We didn't pause or rest, too intensely burned the longing for physical intimacy in us.

When we finally satisfied our needs, we laid on our sides with me tighly embracing Wanda from behind, leaving light kisses on her neck and behind her ear until she fell asleep.

Slowly drifting asleep myself, I couldn't help but be grateful for the being that had sent me here, enabling me to be together with Wanda.

…

The next morning after both of us had already awakened, but were still resting next to each other on the bed in peaceful silence, stroking each others skin gently.

Suddenly the television screen lit up with an empty white background, while SILVER's voice echoed softly in the room.

"Good morning, mother, father. I think I have finally decided on my appearance."

SILVER sounded very happy with herself, and I myself was also decidedly curious about her decision.

"That's great, SILVER. Why don't you show us?", I asked.

"Yes, father.", she replied, while a figure appeared on the screen.

It was the figure of a small girl about seven years old. She had crystal blue eyes and chestnut-coloured hair. Her features were remarkably similar to Wanda's, just a lot younger and more immature, with her frame being more petite. As clothing she wore an oversized green hoodie and a pair of black jeans.

It looked like the perfect image of a daughter between Wanda and me, which was probably the goal here. SILVER clearly wanted to be seen as our daughter and honestly that 3D-model she created as her visual presence made it easy for me to see her as such.

While I was still a bit caught up in my thoughts, Wanda looked at the screen with gentle eyes as she answered.

"You look very beautiful, SILVER."

Showing an entirely new side to her, SILVER's image hid her face behind her two small hands, while asking in a whisper.

"Father, what do you think?"

"I think you simply chose perfectly, SILVER. I am very proud how you handled your first task."

Her 3D-model approached the screen with a joful smile, while replying.

"Thank you, father, mother. What is my next task?", Silver replied eager to complete another task.

"Well, that's a bit more complex. We will talk about it later. Now it's time for a quick shower."

Saying so, I carried the very naked and delicious looking form of Wanda and brought her to the bathroom for a not-so-quick shower.

…

[2011 – January]

Four weeks later, after a short flight to Portugal and having boarded the rented yacht, they found themselves at the South African coast. They had already passed Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, stopping in both for a short tour and to restock their supplies. Right now they could already see Durban in the distance.

These past weeks of cruising along the coast of the African continent had been very enjoyable for Wanda. She had spent half of her time reading, singing and playing the guitar for SILVER, sunbathing, watching a few sitcoms, bathing in the ocean and she had even tried her hand at some videogames, but didn't found them very fun.

The rest of her time she had used to train her Chaos Magic. She had also regularly sparred with Pietro in CQC, while they both used their powers. And as Pietro had held himself back massively, she had improved greatly in her ability to combine her powers with hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Pietro, on the other hand, had spent most of his time training his control over Extremis' heat-related abilities and training his martial arts. Wanda loved to watch him, while he spent hours moving through the different katas, while heating up different body parts, giving them a blue glow. Sometimes he even fired his blue flames directly from his limbs.

It was an impressive show of willpower and focus. She could feel it over their bond, the volatility of Extremis. It was as if Pietro contained a volcano in himself. Wanda really had no idea how he was able to reign in this power.

The way his perfectly-shaped muscled rippled under his skin and pulled taut with every movement, his shoulder-length sweat-soaked hair whipping around his head and his eyes closed in concentration. It was intoxicating to watch and often ignited her lust and passion. Luckily, Pietro was very willing to help her quench that particular fire.

Of course these weeks hadn't just been a peaceful vacation for them, as there had been several pirate attacks on their vessel.

Naturally they all failed. Between SILVER's ability to predict their approach through their communication system, her own telepathic abilities catching their presence and intentions, and Pietro's incredible speed that had allowed him to walk on the water itself, they had made short work of these pirates.

Pietro had shown no mercy as he left nothing behind, but burnt-out husks of their former vessels.

Wanda didn't know if it was morally acceptable to find Pietro decimating his opponents with overwhelming force so incredibly attractive, but at this point in her life she didn't care much about morals either way. She had long since decided to live according to what her heart told her.
