CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND 19

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND 19
“Something happened to me,” I muttered as I looked at myself in the mirror.

I'd not been in this room since I got back, I couldn't bear the thought of being so close to him yet he was miles away in another realm. Every night before the injury on my leg, I'd come as close as the door, taken in a whiff of his scent in here, and chickened out, running back to my own room. I missed him so much, yet he was here and everything felt off.

“You beat the devil baby, that's what happened,” he whispered in my ear, wrapping his hands around my body.

I shook him off.

“Remember what happened the last time we didn't tell each other everything?”

My words send both of our minds on the last few weeks, being so close to each other, yet so far. Unnecessary problems that could have completely been avoided if we'd just been open to each other. I was deceived by his father so easily because I've always been scared of what the future would look like and he decided to go against my wishes in that moment, playing right into Lucifer's plans.

And here we were, about to go there again.

I wasn't myself, and I could ignore it all, have sex, play as expected, and pretend I didn't feel a shift in the air.

But I've learned my lesson and I hope he has too.

“Come with me,” he said after sighing and I gave him my arm.

He situated me in the big, oval bathtub that could have served as a big jacuzzi, and I breathed deeply as the warm water seeped into my bones.

“So I guess I should take you back to the last time we actually saw each other, right before my father showed up and literally took our breaths away,” he began and went ahead to tell me everything he's been through.

I had chances to tell him about my relationship with the Fallen as well and we caught each other up on the crazy things we'd gone through in the past week while we lazily bathed each other in the tub.

“When he told me I was going to be your protector, I was really happy, I've always wanted to heal that broken trust between us where I over promise and under deliver,” he continued, talking about his encounter with the Archangel who refused to disclose his name.

“Come on baby, don't be too hard on yourself,” I told him, moving closer into his arms.

“I'm not even being hard on myself. Right from the beginning, I've tried to run away from this because I believed I didn't deserve to be happy, but with you, it's not about what I deserve. You're my sunshine, and whether I like it or not, you're going to shine, so I'm deciding from now on to bask in the glow you bring to me,” he promised.

“Okay,” I replied with a smile, kissing his jawline.

He took in a shaky breath before continuing his story.

“I thought he meant that I'll be stronger spiritually you know? But now that I think about it, there's no way they're giving a demon note power than we already have,” he said with a chuckle, “I'm even grateful that he didn't actually take my powers from me as I'd requested.”

“You did what?” I exclaimed in shock.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mention that,” he replied, scratching his skull and avoiding eye contact with me.

“You thought it was a good idea to make yourself powerless while your father was trying to kill us?”

“But I won't be powerless per se, I'll be under heaven's protection.”

“And what about me? Did you think to even talk to me about this change of status before rushing off to throw it away?”

“I was pressed for time so I couldn't really come back to check in with you. I'm sorry about that. We're going to work harder on our communication from henceforth,” he promised but I still had my eyes narrowed at him.

“You can't let go of yourself like that next time, okay? No matter what happens, I love you, all of you. You're not allowed to lose any part of you, okay?”

“Yes my pretty spitfire,” he agreed, kissing my cheeks. “Do you want to hear the rest of the story? My cock’s not really letting me decide,” he groaned and reached down to move it away from under me, making me laugh.

“Let's finish talking about it; we must communicate even when it's inconvenient,” I replied to him, but my hands had gone in search of his cock, and I took it back from him.

“Babyyy..” he groaned

“Go on, I can hear you,” I replied, placing him under me but not letting it all the way in.

“Fuck,” he groaned, placing his lips behind my ear.

“I'm listening to you,” I prompted, making him curse again before continuing with what he was saying.

“So um.. he told me you're not ordinary and… and you've been imbued with a purpose bigger than yourself and I'll have to learn to prevent you from overexerting yourself. I didn't understand that until today though, there's another personality inside of you and her duty is to prevent the devil from taking over the earth, at least until – ughh,” he moaned loudly as I took in the tip of his cock, reveling in the things he was saying and the way he felt inside of me.

“Come on baby, tell me what they want me to do,” I urged him on, my voice shaky from the feeling of him tearing me apart.

“You're gonna be the death of me,” he growled and tried grabbing my waist but I swatted his hand away, insisting on controlling this whole thing. “So he said you're going to be free to do whatever you want and live your life as you choose but –fuckkkk – you're, oh you're going to be charged with protecting the earth from my father's anger, and it's my job to prepare you for that day while making sure you remain you as the other personality is just a visitor, never allowed to take complete control,” he finished as I took all of him, our moans echoing around the entire bathroom.
