CHAPTER 52

 

Again Andrea woke in her own bed. Again the servants came in to prepare her bath.  Andrea was almost getting used to this attention, almost.

 

Today her dress was dark blue with silver stars embroidered in the skirt.  Today she would spend with Celestial. 

 

She descended the stairs in search of Celestial.  As she passed the great hall a movement caught her eye.  She stood at the door and saw Celestial tending to the great fire. 

 

“I didn’t expect to find you here.” Andrea began.

 

Celestial turned and smiled, “I was just thinking.”

 

“About what?”

 

“About this journey and how long we have been looking for you.”

 

Andrea bowed her head slightly not knowing what to say. 

 

Celestial walked up to Andrea and lifting her chin with his fingers so as to look into her eyes,  “But the wait has been well worth the journey.  Come with me now.”  Celestial took her hand and teleported them into his room.

 

As Andrea glanced around she noticed that the bedposts in Celestial’s room were lighting bolts; other than that his room appeared to be like the others.  As she continued her observation of his room she noticed something that made this room different, the windows.  One whole wall in Celestial’s room was a window. 

 

Andrea walked over to the window, “You can see the whole meadow from here.” she said astonished.

 

“Yes, but it is not the meadow I like to watch.” Celestial told her as he walked up and stood behind her, his hands encircling her waist.

 

“What is it you watch?” Andrea leaned back into his embrace.

 

“The stars.”

 

Andrea looked where he pointed and she could see millions of stars.

 

“It is beautiful.”

 

“Not as beautiful as you my lady.”

 

Celestial turned her around to face him and gently kissed her lips.  He took her hand and led her to the bed where he, like the others before him, carefully undressed her and with tenderness and care made love to her among the stars.

 

Each of The Masters had loved her in their own way.  Starchild had been right she could not compare any of them.

 

Andrea felt a chill across her body and opening her eyes watched as stars flew by her. 

 

“I was hoping you would wake up.” Celestial quipped as he orchestrated the movement of the stars. 

 

Looking up Andrea saw that Celestial had ordered the most brilliant stars into a heart shape.  “For you my lady.”

 

Andrea smiled as she took Celestial in her arms for a deep hungry kiss. 

 

“Show me what else the stars can do.”

 

“My pleasure.”
