***As requested, I'm trying to make my stories longer. I'm working on it, I promise. The next chapter should be out in about a week, if not less time. As always, I love comments!***
I look up at him with lust filled eyes, waiting for him to finish. He's already made me orgasm. I just want to fill him inside me, to show him the same pleasure he's shown me. I lift my head, offering my lips, and he kisses me slowly.
"Take me." I beg. Izual shakes his head and pulls away.
"Lucifer." Izual says. Their eyes meet and I squirm in Lucifer's grasp. He throws me onto the bed and pins me down. I look up into those piercing green eyes and resist the urge to scream.
"Izual, damn you!" I shriek. He laughs, but not as if he's truly happy.
"I am a demon, child. Damning me is redundant." Izual's lips brush across my pulse.
"Every time I trust you, you-" he cuts me off with a rough, hungry kiss. I moan helplessly as he touches me.
"Andariel, I would not abandon you to such cruelness." he whispers. I strain upwards and he kisses me again, pinning me to the bed with the weight of his body. Lucifer rolls out of the way, but stays perched on the end of the bed to watch.
"I notice that you don't argue." I manage. Lucifer laughs silkily and fists his hand in my hair. I yelp as he jerks my head back, making me arch.
"I try not to argue with the truth." he whispers. Izual growls and bites my throat, teasing my nipples until they are stiff and aching. He kisses his way down my stomach and puts his hands on my thighs.
"Spread them." Izual orders. I shiver and obey him. He rewards me with the tip of his tongue and a questing finger. I scream, all too eager for more, and he pulls away from me. "Let us see if you still feel the same when I offer you nothing but torment."
He walks out of the room, and I sit in stunned silence. Lucifer crawls forward sinuously, his tongue darting out to taste my tears. I curl up against the headboard, retreating from him like a frightened rabbit, and he follows me. His lips are on my pulse, and I can feel his arousal against my leg.
"Beg." Lucifer orders. I snarl and dive to the side, sliding under the bed easily. Lucifer peers under the bed and sighs. "Do you plan to stay there?"
I make a soft, scared noise and he retreats. I stay under the bed until I see him walk out of the door. Then I come out cautiously and unlock the window. I want Izual to love me, but I doubt I will get my wish. There's no real point in staying here. I put my palms flat against the stone wall and cling. Normally I would fly, but wings still haven't healed completely. I'm not sure they ever will, actually. Father intended that I would never fly again, and people usually carried out his wishes. I slip into the woods, thinking of sleeping curled against my love. Izual used to let me sleep with him, in the purely platonic sense of the word, and I would wake up wrapped in his scent, and often his body. I miss those times more and more.
Michael steps out from behind a nearby tree, and I go completely still. He ignores me, for some reason, and simply walks past, towards the castle. All of my instincts say to run now, before he notices me and decides to have a noon snack. I glance over my shoulder at him. He could kill Lucifer and leave everyone else alone. It could happen. I creep after him, cursing under my breath all the while. He lounges against a tree, and I duck behind a convenient bush. He looks around, and I feel his magic brush me. Instantly I want to stand up and go to him, to kneel at his feet and gaze in awe at his glory.
"Come out, come out, where ever you are." he purrs. I blink away my lassitude and back away. I don't trust myself around the freak. His magic is just too good. Unfortunately he's not the only one out here. I trip over his servant with a startled cry and turn to run. No use for subtlety now. Michael raises his hand, and his power swamps me. I stop dead in my tracks, resisting the urge to whimper. I hate being helpless. His hands glide over my sensitive skin, and I hate him for it. I glare at him, unable to open my mouth to curse him. He lays a soft kiss upon my mouth.
"Remember this, when the time comes that my life is in your hands." Michael whispers. He kisses me again, but this time his magic pours through me. It hurts, but it feels so very wonderful as well. I can feel my bruises healing and my bones popping into their rightful places. I scream, caught between agony and joy, and the world goes black.
My lashes flutter as I return to consciousness, and I resist the urge to dwell upon what a recurring theme that is. I just keep getting knocked out. Perhaps I'm a bit more delicate than previously thought. Or maybe I should just quit playing with beings that could kill me as easily as they breathe. Nah, that would be too logical.
"Are you done passing out? I do have things to do today aside from stare at your beautiful little ass." Lucifer says. I jump and look over my shoulder at him where he is, indeed, quite fixated on my ass.
"I should probably be thankful I haven't been tied to a tree yet." I grumble. Lucifer laughs and pulls me to my feet. In the process he jerks me off balance and pulls me against him.
"Maybe later." he breathes. I shiver as runs the tip of his tongue over my neck. Damn, I do not want to sleep with this guy, but he's extremely good at making me forget that. He laughs softly and sucks on my ear lobe. I moan and try to step away from him, but he wraps his arm around my waist.
"You want me." Lucifer whispers. I shake my head.
"I want Izual." I correct. He laughs silkily and fists a hand in my hair. I yelp as he pulls my head to the side, exposing my delicate throat. I know from experience that if he rips my throat out, I will still live, but it's an extremely painful process. I whimper and he growls. His lips brush ever so lightly across my skin, and I try to stay perfectly still.
"Perhaps, but if he continues to ignore you, then you will become desperate, and desperate creatures do idiotic things." I don't even try to argue with that. I don't know if it's true or not. I just want him to stop teasing me.
"You said you had things to do." I remind him. He sighs and lets me go. I drop to the ground, my knees too unsteady to hold me up.
"Oh, yes, the original reason I came out here to find you. What were you doing with Michael, dragul meu?" I look up at him cautiously, waiting for him to hit me. Or try to kill me. My life kinda goes that way.
"I followed him." I answer. I hesitate, waiting to see his reaction, but he remains simply politely interested. "He was here, and I wanted to see what he was doing."
"Looking for dragul meu, of course." Michael purrs. I look up and growl, softly. He meets my eyes for a moment, and I blush. "It will help to have a queen indebted to me, I think,"
"What did you do?" Lucifer snarls. I flinch back against the tree. It's a helpless reaction, born of far too long under my father's rule. He snarls louder and grabs me by the hair. "Answer me!"
"I- I-" I squeak, and then my throat closes, and I can say no more. I stare up at him, terrified. He jerks me up to his level and pins me against the nearest tree.
"Tell me." Lucifer orders. I open my mouth, but no words will come out. Michael laughs softly.
"Trouble in the royal bedchamber?" Michael mocks. Lucifer snarls at him as well, and he smiles. "Let me help you. Your little pet did not do anything wrong. I captured her, I healed her, and I set her free."
Lucifer's grip on my hair eases, but he keeps me pinned against the tree.
"Is this true?" he asks. I nod and look down intently.
"I had to see for myself, you see. Izual told me that she was not in his bed, but I could not believe it until I realized she had been claimed by someone more powerful than he." Michael says. I realize suddenly that he thinks I'm with Lucifer. Damn, just how pervading is that theory? You wake up in a guy's bed one time and suddenly you're dating. Bleh.
"She is under my protection, and you would do well to keep your hands off of her." Lucifer growls. He bites my neck and I moan for him, more for effect than anything else. It hurts when it's just random. Michael nods and backs away until he disappears into the tree line. Lucifer sighs and starts off towards the castle. I scamper after him, struggling to keep up with his long-legged stride.
"What am I to do with you, dragul meu? Every time I leave you alone you get into trouble." I can't really argue with that, so I choose to keep my mouth shut. I do have an unfortunate penchant for attracting trouble. He glances back at me and shakes his head. "Come along now."
