Abdiel turned over in the large bed and stretched his arm out beside him, his fingers brushed against warm skin and he turned his head. The long chestnut curls were spread across the pillow and his heart leapt.
"Lily?" He pushed himself onto his elbow and tenderly stroked a curl from her face. In sleep the face he saw could have been Lilith, calm, peaceful and beautiful. Disappointment settling in his stomach he sat up and turned away from Tayana, swinging his legs over the edge to rest his feet on the floor he dropped his head into his hands and groaned. A deep ache had settled behind his eyes, an after affect of the trip into Purgatory and nausea hit his stomach.
"Good morning." He shuddered at the sound of her voice and let out a sigh. She scooted closer and pressed her naked body against his, her arms slid round his chest and she kissed his shoulder. "How are you feeling?"
He shrugged her off grimacing at her touch and ran his hands through his dark hair. "Are you still here?"
She laughed and pressed herself back against him. "Still feeling rough don't worry its nothing more than travel sickness. You'll feel fine in an hour or two."
He rolled his shoulder violently throwing her from him and stood, turning back to look at her his eyes flashed with something close to hatred. "Don't fucking touch me."
Her eyes widened and her shoulders slumped slightly. "What? What's the matter?"
He didn't say a word instead began pacing back and forth in front of the bed. "Abi what's wrong?"
He froze where he stood his head pointing towards the floor his fists clenched at his sides and his teeth gritted. When he finally looked back at her she let out a small gasp at the look of fury on his face.
"Don't you call me that. Don't ever fucking call me that." His whole body shook with anger and his blue eyes flashed dangerously.
"Why?" Her voice was stronger and she stood from the bed, stepping close until their chests almost touched she poked his hard muscle. "Because she calls you that? Are you still pining after that stupid girl? She doesn't want you, don't you understand that?" He growled low in his throat and her eyes flashed. She had him. "I'm all you have Abi and what would you do without me? I got you where you are today, without me you never would have found her again, you never would have known where to take her from, you never would have been able to get into Purgatory. You would be nothing without me. You need me," her eyes narrowed and she folded her arms. "You love me."
He finally seemed to snap out of his trance and her face twisted into an expression of scorn. "I love you?" His laugh was nasty and she she took an uncertain step backwards. "You really think that I feel anything for you." He took a step back towards her closing the gap between them. "You mean nothing to me, you are just close enough to Lily that I can stand to be around you. You look just enough like her that I can feel close to my mate without wanting to vomit when I look at you face. You really think that you can compare to her, in any way?" He reached out and took hold of her throat feeling her swallow beneath his fingers. "I love Lilith, not you." His face turned sad and he let go of her. "I love her but she will never feel the same and if you ever think that you could come close to her then you are even stupider than I thought."
Moving slowly she reached out and stroked his tousled black hair, reaching onto her tiptoes she gently brushed a kiss against his lips, roughly he gripped her wrist keeping her still. Her face dropped before turning angry.
"You bastard! You know what I've done for you! I can never go back to my family, I can never go home, I will never see Gabriel again." Her eyes shone with tears as she spoke the name and she dropped her head. "I'll never see him."
He snarled and went to walk from the room. A strong hand on his arm and an anguished shrieked made him turned and he looked back into her tear stained face.
"How can you treat me like this? After everything I've done for you how can you not care? Don't you feel anything for me?"
Without a word he turned her around and pulled her against his chest, leaning down he brought his lips close to her ear. "Nothing." Throwing her onto her stomach on the bed he pulled on her legs until her feet where back on the floor and her body was bent at a ninety degree angle. Moving to stand close behind her he spat on his fingers and roughly pushed two inside her pussy, she cried out in pain and tried to move away from him. He slapped her ass hard and she sobbed burying her face into the sheets.
"Stop please, you're hurting me," he felt himself grow hard at her words. Lily had once said that to him, positioning his cock at her entrance he slammed into her from behind and she screamed at the burning pain hit her, she tried to clamber onto the bed and away from him but his large hands curled around her hips and pulled her closer burying himself inside her to the base. A scream ripped from her throat and she struggled harder, he began thrusting and her nails curled into the bed and her body shook from pain, tears fell from her eyes as he thrust in and out of her pussy groaning at the feel of resistance as she fought against him.
Wrapping his hands around her waist he lifted her and threw her onto her back on the bed, immediately she tried to move away from him fear in her dark eyes but he caught hold of her ankle and pulled her back to him. Covering her body with his own he pushed back into her and her eyes rolled back in her head as the pain hit her again and she hit her fists against his broad chest, scratching, clawing, trying desperately to push him off her.
"Please stop," her voice was broken by the roughness of his hips and hoarse from screaming. "Stop it! It hurts!"
With a growl he covered her mouth with a hand muffling her cries, her teeth sank into the soft skin of his palm. Pressing harder over her mouth he sped up his thrusts and heard her sobbing muffled behind his hand, the walls of her pussy gripped his thick girth tightly and he groaned as his orgasm built.
"Oh fuck." His vision clouded and instead of Tayana he saw Lily beneath him, her face filled with pleasure, his name on her lips. "Lily." He whispered her name as he came and Tayana screamed against his hand as his hot cum filled her intensifying the burning pain inside her.
He rolled off her his chest rising and falling quickly and stared up at the ceiling, beside him she curled into a ball on her side and wiped away a tear. They lay in silence for a minute before he stood and without a word walked from the room. Wrapping her arms around her stomach she willed the seed inside her to stay deep and closing her eyes she muttered a short prayer.
"Lucifer, I know I have done awful things. Unforgivable things but please let me bear a child. Please."

"My mum?" Lily's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Aaron. "You're sure it was her?"
