Don't you know?
Goliath sat stoically in the recreation of Castle Wyvern.
It was one of those rare nights where patrol finished early without
little excitement. To have a quiet,
uneventful night in New York City was indeed a rare thing.
Goliath sat quietly with novel in hand prepared for a quiet evening
of good reading and music. He sipped
his goblet of sweet Strawberry wine and stared at the stunning oil portrait
on the wall given to him by Lennox MacBeth.
Sparkling amber and cinnamon eyes haunted his dreams.
Thick tresses cascaded over her shoulder in a crowning glory of jet-black
hair. A rich, melodious alto voice
filled his ears with words of encouragement and tender, shy affections.
MacBeth had the painting commissioned simply because he appreciated
her dark beauty. After peace had been
made between he and the clan. Goliath
recalled how MacBeth said that it seemed fitting that he should have the portrait.
Here it hung in this particular recreation room far removed
from the rest of the hustle and bustle of Castle Wyvern.
The chamber served as an inner sanctum and safe haven for the clan
leader. It was the one place where
he freely pondered his feelings for the human detective that completely befuddled
him. It was the one place where his
heart soared free without interruption. It
was the only place that Goliath’s tears fell the fateful night he saw her
in the arms of Jason Canmore. The
stone walls still bore the indentations of his fists and the marks of his
claws.
[No one knows. No one
knows about that sweet kiss she gave me, nor the feelings growing within my
heart.] Goliath and Elisa Maza had shared one innocent, chaste kiss
three turns of the moon before night. It
had brought magic to his soul and rapture to his heart.
Yet, the first night that he truly had had his beloved Elisa to himself,
he almost had not told her that he loved her.
THREE NIGHTS EARLIER…
Elisa enjoyed music. Goliath
found innovation in that small piece of knowledge.
A sudden inspiration prompted him to blurt out the next words.
“Savage Garden is playing at Madison Square Garden in a few days.
I know that you enjoy their music.
Let us go and listen to them in person.”
However, the clan, Xanatos and McBeth knew of the fire that
burned for Elisa Maza
That didn’t bother Goliath.
It mattered little to him that the others found it some form of entertainment.
He only knew that he loved Elisa Maza.
He longed to tell her that he loved her and dreamed of her.
She inspired him to new heights never before had he thought
Almost.
Had Jason Canmore been successful, Goliath never would have known
the joy that threatened to overflow from his heart.
He had dreamt of telling her what she truly meant to him.
When he had witnessed her kiss with Canmore, every Gargoyle instinct
demanded that Canmore be. …eliminated. The
darker Goliath lurking in the back of his mind wanted to claim Elisa with
physical intimacy. Another part of
him felt his heart shatter into ten
“She kissed me, Hudson.” Goliath
did nothing to mask his happiness. They
caught the updraft and circled around the Eyrie building.
“Elisa kissed me.”
"Hudson, I adore Elisa’s wit, her fire, and her spirit.
I don’t just want to just bed her.”
Goliath’s embarrassment didn’t surprise Hudson.
“She is so much more than that to me.
I want to be with her for always.”
"I know, Lad. You embarrass
to easily.” Hank wryly replied.
His teasing tone became somber. “What
are Elisa’s thoughts on the matter?”
"I abhor the thought of our friendship ending because of this
…affinity between us going awry.” Goliath
walked into the castle and headed toward the recreation room.
“I think she regrets bringing our feelings into the open.”
"You and me both, Goliath." Hudson nodded in agreement.
"Why don't ye tell her what
"Goliath, she is a grown woman."
Hudson reminded her. “Don’t
think her so flighty that she’ll run at the first display of emotion.
Tell her that you love her.”
"That may not be wise." He growled.
Goliath was unaccustomed to uncertainty.
"Goliath, Eros has eluded Elisa.
She deserves somebody who will treat her with a little respect and
a lot of class. That would be you,
Lad: Looming, Lamenting, and Lovelorn."
Elisa came later that night and she was a stunning site.
Her gold evening dress was the perfect compliment to her honeyed sienna
complexion. Goliath felt his loincloth’s
seems cut into his powerful thighs when he gazed upon her.
He greeted her with a kiss and swept her into his arms.
They made it to the concert in record time.
They listened to the band in relative silence.
A cool summer breeze blew through their spot above Madison Square Garden.
Goliath tucked his arm around Elisa's slender waist and pulled her
a little closer. To his surprise she
didn't pull away. She cuddled closer.
He felt Elisa shiver within his embrace.
"Cold?" He wrapped
his tail affectionately around her waist and pulled her closer.
He draped one wing loosely about her shoulders.
"Very much so. I should
have brought a jacket." She spoke
her words between chattering teeth.
"Allow me to remedy the situation.”
Goliath murmured. He planted
a kiss on her brow and drew her onto his lap.
She gasped in surprise but didn’t pull away.
She laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.
He drew her to him so that his heat warmed her chilled skin.
He cradled Elisa in his arms with his wings wrapped around them to
block the chill of the cool night breeze.
“Much.” Her warm breath tickled
the hollow of his neck. “Thanks, Big
Guy."
Within minutes, the world melted away and only paradise remained.
Goliath felt it was a perfect evening with a full moon and romantic
music from Savage Garden below them. The
gentle summer breeze gently blew through their hair.
Goliath marveled at how his hand had found his way to hers.
She gave it a firm squeeze and then returned her attention to the concert.
"Tonight is really beautiful, isn't it, Goliath?"
She said softly.
"Yes it is." But
he wasn't referring to the night. "Almost
as lovely as you look
"Goliath." He could
almost hear the blush in Elisa's voice. It
had been so long
"It sounds like a pick-up line.”
Elisa then defined for him the term.
"None, dear heart. It
is inspired." He vehemently denied
the teasing, veiled accusation.
“Goliath, I didn’t mean to say-”
"I'd be a liar if I said that they hadn't."
She breathless response betrayed her barely restrained exhilaration
"I always thought you were easy on the eyes.”
"I've always thought of you more that attractive, Elisa."
His colossal lavender palm
Goliath guardedly drew Elisa closer.
He felt her warmness contours touch the entire length of him.
Her natural feminine curves molded perfectly to the hard, muscular
planes of
"Goliath..." Elisa’s
voice seemed ragged and hoarse. "What
do we do now?"
He languidly brought his mouth to hers and deepened their kiss instantly.
He felt her tense with astonishment.
He worshiped her skin with teasing kisses.
She felt the careful
Goliath settled her over his most intimate secret.
When Elisa sat on his lap, she marveled at every sculpted contour of
his granite physique. Careful talons tormented every nerve with their enticing
touch. Goliath knew better than to
let his baser passions overrule his good judgment.
He simply kissed her intently and well.
Elisa moans caused him to growl with pleasures.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her breasts against
the hard wall of his broad chest. Goliath
smelled her instinctive awakening to his tender, patient displays of affection.
She deepened their
"Jalapena, Elisa! You
are driving me insane.” His deep voice
came out little more than a harsh sigh.
His breath came in almost ragged sobs as his eyes burned with unspoken
hopes. . She thought she felt him
tremble in her embrace. He groaned
and knew he was at her mercy. He had
given her his heart truly, madly, deeply. Elisa's
delicate hands found themselves feeling the finely chiseled features of his
arms.
"Goliath? What?
Are you all right?" She
gasped. She felt as if she had suddenly
"I’m fine, Elisa. Don’t
worry." She watched Goliath shutter.
“I’m just trying to remember to be a gentleman.”
"I want you."
He turned his gaze to the moon as he spoke the honest words.
"But, You are dear to my heart.
If you would but give me the chance, I would cherish you and love with
you will all that is in me."
“What are you saying?”
"I am a Gargoyle that worships eternally.
Nothing would bring me more joy
"Goliath, I won't deny that I've...always been attracted to
you." She said quietly.
"Jason?" The question
hung in the air between them as an invisible barrier that
"Yes."
"Do you think you could...would you ever...."
"Goliath, it would be very easy and possible to fall in love
with you. I don’t know if I’m ready to take it that far.”
Some small voice told Goliath that her heart was well ahead of her.
"And now you forever hold me in the palm of your hand...close
to my heart and always
”Ditto, Big Guy.”
Goliath reveled in his romantic reverie. He sat alone in the recreation
room and contemplated that phenomenal evening that bound his heart with Elisa’s.
It had been bittersweet until that wondrous night; being so close and yet
so far from the woman he loved. Those
nights on the skiff had brought him many unexpected revelations.
His heart left his chest and took up residence in Elisa’s love.
