Chapter 44: The Return of the Champions

  The plane landed on Mexican soil and, when they went down, the Monta?a Azul team was received as heroes. Posters, banners and people shouting their names awaited them at the airport.

  "Look! It's them! The champions! -shouted someone from the crowd.

  Talión, Luz, Azrat, Aurora, Bruno and Jocelyn looked at each other and, almost synchronously, raised their arms.

  "MONTAAAA?A AZUUUUUL!" they shouted together, receiving an ovation that made their skin bristle.

  ?

  Remembering the road traveled

  The team decided to spend the afternoon together, having dinner at Talión's favorite restaurant. While they were eating, Aurora raised her glass.

  "Do you realize what we have achieved?" she said excitedly. A year ago no one gave anything for us... but now we are champions.

  Azrat smiled, with his arm on Stephanie's shoulders.

  "Do you remember when I almost lost the race because I did the wrong turn?" I thought it was finished...

  "And look what you ended up in... in a monster!" Bruno said, raising his glass.

  Jocelyn intervened, laughing.

  "And do you remember when Luz went to the wrong room and Talión hugged him thinking it was a stuffed animal?"

  The group burst out laughing.

  "I still can't get over how the boy who was drowning ended up hugging Talión as if he were his Marvel hero!" Aurora said, drying her tears of laughter.

  Luz, with a malicious smile, looked at Talión.

  "And do you remember how Talión discovered that I had this..." he pointed to his ass with a mischievous smile. "...complete package?"

  The group burst out laughing again, while Talion simply shrugged.

  "What can I say?" It's impossible to ignore something so... juicy. -he said with a mocking tone, stretching his hand to give a shameless touch to Luz, who just smiled and winked at him.

  "He's already part of the team!" If he doesn't touch Luz's ass, it's not our Talion! -Azrat shouted, raising his glass jokingly.

  The team toasted, laughing, enjoying the moment as friends and champions.

  ?

  The night of the gift

  Late at night, Talión returned home. I was tired, but happy.

  "What a day..." he murmured, taking off his shirt and leaving his things on the floor.

  Then he noticed that the light in his room was off, but the door was ajar.

  "Luz... are you here?" he said as he approached.

  Upon entering, the room was barely illuminated by the light of a dim lamp. On the bed, completely naked and barely covered with a white sheet, was Luz, biting her lip with a mischievous look.

  "I thought you wouldn't come anymore..." Luz whispered in a seductive voice.

  Talión swallowed saliva, feeling the heat run through his body.

  "Is this... my gift?"

  Luz slowly removed the sheet, leaving every curve of her body in sight.

  "You promised me that when we returned, we would celebrate it in our own way... so... I'm here, champion.

  Without saying more, Talion closed the door behind him.

  What happened next was left in complete darkness... but the sighs, moans and the slight sound of a creaking bed told the rest of the story.

  ?

  The dawn after love

  The next day, Talión woke up with Luz by his side, wrapped in the sheets and with disheveled hair. Luz smiled sleepy and gave him a soft kiss on the chest.

  "Definitely... you were the real champion last night..." he said with a mischievous smile.

  Talion laughed and stroked his back.

  "And what if I ask for revenge tomorrow?"

  "Mmm..." Luz settled on top of him. Whenever you want, champion... whenever you want.
