The Elementals: Chapter 24 Compromise

The last few months have flown by, I was expecting to have gone as stir crazy as Rain from staying in, but I have actually been savouring the peace. Since I'm not allowed out except to go to class, Sky has basically moved in which means I have already been eating like a queen with his cooking. We moved training inside the flat which means training precision moves and building muscle strength. I can now make a rose bloom from a seed and form an intricate mud sculpture of a person all while holding a plank. Don't get me wrong, there have been moments of boredom and several online orders of puzzles, books and noise cancelling headphones for Rain, but overall it has been nice. 
Sky submitted all of his work a week ago and is hoping to graduate when he gets his final results. After that he has been my personal stress reliever. Having just finished my last exam, I'm not sure that the stress was ever caused by exams and more the new responsibility I have been burdened with. 
So while everyone else goes out to celebrate before a summer of travelling the world, we are packing our bags for a summer of training and dodging death. 
When we arrive, I notice that the village looks bigger, like some new houses have been built, but I can't pinpoint which ones. 
My mother greets us on arrival and hugs me before turning to Mr Elm. 
"How many?" She asks seriously. 
"5" he responds. And she looks at me with concern. 
"5 what?" I ask. 
"5 groups of hunters that have attacked since you left" mum explains. 
"That's ridiculous, we never saw anyone, we were totally safe." I reply. 
"Your mother assigned me to protect you from them with a small squad of her guards. They were dealt with before they found you" Mr Elm explains and I feel a slight shiver at the words dealt with. Before I can ask more, my mum changes the topic.
"Good, let's get you settled in. Lily you will start your lessons with me tomorrow, Sky you are welcome to sit in to prepare yourself too. Rain you can train with the other guards, I'm sure they can find you some tasks to keep you busy. I'm arranging transportation for us to the underworld, you need to train with your fire and it is the safest place to do it. That should be ready in a few days time. For now, Lily will stay in the spare room at my house, Sky and Rain you both have a room in the new guards house. We had to expand a little to accommodate the extra troops." My mother explains. 
"Extra troops?” I ask
"Yes, I called in a few favours and I have assembled a small army to protect you while you are here. Most of them I trust, but I suggest you don't let your guard down.” She says
We all unpack separately and then meet to explore. Not that there is a lot to explore around here, other than the snow. Rain at least is enjoying the view of the large muscly men guarding the village. 
"So bets on how many of them will be falling at her feet before the end of summer?" I ask jokingly. 
"Oh I'd say none of them will escape her charm" Sky replies. 
"I don't know, you have to factor in that some might be married or gay." I argue. 
"I will take that as a challenge" Rain says confidentiality. 
“The ice sheets are already melting, just try not to make it too much hotter here” I tease. 
"Oh please you are one to talk, no headphones can tune out the things you have been up to." Rain throws back and I laugh while sky blushes.
"Oh do you think your mum will mind if .. you know?” he asks awkwardly. 
"Huh I don't know. I don't think I want to ask either, maybe we seek forgiveness rather than permission. Besides, I'm ok with sneaking around a bit." I say and wink at him.
We eat together in the canteen and get introduced to a few guards. While Rain flirts with a blonde giant, Sky and I sneak off. 
I barely shut the door before he pushes me up against it. I wrap my legs around him and he squeezed my ass lifting me up so that he can kiss me. He carries me to his bed and throws me on it. We both quickly strip off our clothes and he pressed himself on top of me before I can feel the cold. He kisses my neck and I start to moan. His hand reached up to cover my mouth as he moves his kisses lower to my chest. He trails kisses lower, eventually having to remove his hand as he starts gently kissing my hips. When he positions his head between my legs I have to cover my own mouth to hold back the curses that want to escape. Sky has become incredibly familiar with my body and now knows exactly what to do and what buttons to press to drive me crazy. I feel his tongue lapping up my wetness and flicking my sensitive clit. I arch my back and push myself into him to increase the pressure but he keeps it gently and slow, teasing me and keeping me on the edge. 
A knock comes at the door, but we both ignore it, too lost in ourselves. I feel the pleasure build inside me as I get closer to my release. 
They knock again "Lily, you need to get to your own room before curfew, it's not safe to be out at night even with the guards." My mothers voice calls. 
I can't reply without swearing or moaning because sky has not stopped. I try to push his head away, but he holds my hips firmly in place and continues flicking my sweet spot. 
"Ok" I manage somewhat breathlessly. 
To my relief I hear the click of heels walking away and turn my attention to sky. 
"I will get you back for that" I say as he circles his tongue and presses firmly in just the right spot and the power of my orgasm stops all logical thoughts. 
"I'm counting on it" he says smirking as a try to recover. 
"You should go though, before she comes back. That woman definitely scares me." Sky says
