Chapter 21
The rest of the week passed quickly for Dante and Lily. They each were making fast progress in their training. Both Lily and Dante were falling into their responsibilities and duties well and becoming comfortable with them. Lily was making huge strides in her hand-to-hand combat and would be a force to be reckoned with sooner rather than later. She was making slower progress on her weapons mastery, but that was solely due to the fact she was already an expert with her dual daggers; she was simply working on adding fine touches to mastering her weapons and making everything automatic and second nature. Through all her training and effort she was becoming faster, stronger, wiser and more lethal.
Dante was seeing huge improvements with his progress with his katana, and within the next few weeks would start adding in the second one. By the time his personal blades, fighting blades not training ones, would arrive in a little over 5 weeks, he would be ready for them and start to perfect them as extensions of his own body and his own senses, just like his Spartans were to him already.
Ever since his immersion into martial arts training as a child, Dante had felt a strong affinity for all things Japanese, especially when it came to face-to-face fighting techniques. Thanks to centuries of the Samurais honing the design of the katana, in addition to their perfecting the techniques for wielding such a formidable instrument of death, he had always considered it the ultimate weapon, or at least for anything not involving gunpowder. So when Ben offered to train him in weaponry, he considered the katana the only viable choice. Anything else would be second-rate, at least for him.
As for his training with his wolf, his Alpha blood was shining through as he picked everything up at an amazing rate. He was improving with each hour of training, rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Even given that he had first met his wolf in his early adulthood instead of at puberty like everyone else, within a few weeks he would become impressive, and within a few months Ben and everyone else believed he would become unstoppable.
Friday at midday Lily's firearms and ammunition arrived. Later that afternoon when they were both free for a short period, Dante revealed to Lily what he had ordered for her. He opened the pistol case and displayed her first handgun.
"Baby, this is your new gun. You will soon become an expert in its use, and once you are, it will become your constant companion. It's a Kimber Master Carry Custom in .45ACP caliber, just like you wanted. I had it customized with a silver crescent moon and a tiger lily engraved on each side of the slide, and a rosewood grip to make it your very own. I'll train you and drill you until it becomes an extension of your body and senses, so you can protect yourself and hold your own with the very best."
Lily gasped when she saw the beautiful pistol. She picked it up and felt its weight and balance, and immediately felt an affinity with it. She already loved it and looked forward to mastering it.
Dante continued, "I also got you three different holsters for different situations. An open holster on your hip is traditional and useful in almost all situations. I also got you a concealed carry holster that fits inside your pants at your waistline to carry when you don't want others to know about it, and lastly a cross draw behind the back one, similar to the two I wear. I also got you plenty of ammunition and extra magazines, and included a few extended magazines for extra capacity. Finally, I had it tooled to accept a suppressor, and ordered you one of those as well, for stealth operations."
Lily was thrilled and very excited as she set down her new Custom Carry and threw her hands around his neck and kissed him hard, making him groan before she spoke. "I love it, Dante! It's beautiful and I love how you're always thinking of me and my safety and taking care of me! You spoil me, and while it's not needed, I do love you for it, baby!"
Dante smiled at her and gave her another kiss, "You're the most important thing in the world to me Lily, I will always protect you and take care of you. I want only the best for my love, and I know we'll make an amazing warrior out of you, even while I make sure you're safe and protect you as completely as you'll allow."
Dante put away the pistol and next brought out a large hard case that took up a large majority of the table he set it upon. He opened the case to reveal a Barrett MRAD rifle. It was entirely black and extremely impressive. Dante explained, "This is what you'll learn to be a sniper with. It's a Barrett MRAD sniper rifle, and one of the top rifles for this purpose in use today. It fires the .338 Lapua Magnum round, has an effective range of over 2,000 meters and the power to take down anything you can see in your scope. I bought you two scopes to use with it, as well as a couple of spotting scopes so I can help train you. It has a Leupold Mark 8 optical scope which is the top of the line, and a thermal scope for use in low light and night conditions. I think you'll fall in love with this beast once you fire it and begin using it."
Lily once again kissed him hard, and thanked him for being the most amazing mate.
Soon it was late afternoon and since it was Friday, Dante and Lily packed up and got ready to head out to the Cabin for the weekend. Odin and Victoria released them for the weekend a few hours early, and once the Chevelle was loaded up, including Lily's new toys, they headed out of the compound and sped towards their Cabin.
***
They arrived at the Cabin just as sunset was upon them. They unloaded the Chevelle and headed inside. They would need to stock the fridge when they went into town tomorrow to buy Lily a new vehicle, but they were able to put together a simple but tasty Chicken Alfredo and some oven-baked dinner rolls. They opened a chilled bottle of white they'd kept in the fridge and sat down to a nice meal. After dinner they cleaned up the kitchen and dishes as they flirted and relaxed together. They wound up on the couch in the living room in what had become one of their favorite spots to relax together. Dante had built them a nice fire, and they talked and drank the rest of the bottle of wine.
During their leisurely conversation Lily had also been gently seducing Dante, touching, kissing, occasionally removing yet another article of clothing from one or the other of them, and eventually they were entirely nude, with her on her knees in front of him, administering a slow and wet blowjob that had Dante groaning and fisting his hands in her hair.
Once Dante filled her mouth with his seed, she leaned her head back and opened her mouth, teasing him by showing that she had saved it all, before swallowing it down and licking her lips. She leaned back down and gently suckled on his cock, keeping him hard for her.
When Lily was ready, she climbed into his lap facing him and took hold of his steel-hard cock as she sank down onto him, filling herself to the brim. She moaned loudly and shivered in his arms as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed her breasts into his face and ran her fingers through his hair as she rose and fell in his lap, rolling her hips and grinding her clit against his pubic bone. She leaned back and they made love slowly in the firelight, staring into each other's eyes the whole time, communicating only with looks and touches, plus the ever-present bond through which they passed their emotions back and forth as they both climbed higher and higher, united as one in their bodies and in their passion. They were in no hurry to finish their journey as they moved together endlessly, sharing their sensations and emotions and thoughts.
