This is part seven of our story, and it contains sex! Finally! While it can be read individually, reading previous chapters will help you to get to know Christine and Peter better. We join our story in progress, after Peter has confessed his secret. He is an immortal, and Madeline, his former lover and wife. Christine is dealing with this revelation as best she can...

Christine still had blood on her wrist, arms and dress, and went to wash up. Peter ordered room service. Yes, room service at 5:30 AM. Apparently, being shot dead worked up quite the appetite. For a time, they were both alone with their thoughts. Peter considered that so few mortals knew their secret that Christine was in immense danger. Many of his kind would never accept that an outsider could be trusted. They would no doubt try to silence her if they perceived she was a threat. Perhaps Madeline was right - he had doomed the love of his life by involving her at all, but it was too late now. If anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
Christine stared at herself in the mirror after her shower, fully nude and exposed. She had no idea how she was going to do this. She loved Peter so deeply but his world had just gotten so much bigger to her. She was a tiny piece of his grand tapestry. She was a mortal among gods. Two years ago she was just going through the motions. She had found herself with Peter's help, but she would need to push beyond even that to walk with these beings. She looked into her own eyes and made a decision.
She walked out to the bedroom. "Peter, I need to meet with her - with Madeline. She and I have some things to get straight, and I need to get some control back in my life. I'm not going to live in fear of your world. If I'm going to be part of it, your partner, not just your plaything as you said, things have to be different than they are now."
Peter looked her up and down, with her hands on her hips and resolute "this is fucking happening" glare. "Darling when you're naked like that I can't say no to you, you know that. I'll set up a meeting."
"Good, and the next thing you're going to do is get over here and eat my fucking cunt. Now that I know you can't be killed I'm not going to be so goddamn gentle with you!"
