Demonic Love

by T L Stokes

  A week later Stephan was able to take Stell home. He had a lot of vacation time saved up so he decided he would take a week off and spend it with Stell. Now that he had him back physically, he wanted him back mentally as well.

  “There you go, love,” Stephan said as he lay Stell down in his bed. Stell immediately turned on his side away from Stephan and snuggled into Stephan’s pillow. Stephan smiled as the younger man fell asleep.

  “OK, you can sleep now. I’m going to go start dinner,” Stephan said before walking into the kitchen to make soup.

  Stephan walked back into the bedroom to see Stell sitting on the edge of the bed staring at a wall.

  “Babe? You OK?” Stephan asked. Stell let out a quiet grunt.

  “Listen, Stell. I’m not going to lie. I know it’s my fault you were sent there. I feel horrible. I didn’t forgive myself for the longest time. I just kept thinking about what was happening to you and that it was my fault. I do love you even though you’re a Demon. I just wish I could have said that 10 years ago. Can you forgive me?” Stephan asked. Tears silently falling from his eyes. Stell didn’t look at him. But after a moment he rested his head on Stephan’s shoulder.

  “You do know I’m here, don’t you? I’ll help you, babe. I promise,” Stephan whispered into Stell’s hair before planting a kiss there.

  Stephan spent the next 3 days caring for Stell. But other than when he rested his head on Stephan’s shoulder the first day he was there, he made no signs the he even knew where he was. Stephan made sure he cleaned and bandaged the many still open wounds Stell had. Sometimes when he was cleaning one of the especially bad marks, tears would slip from Stell’s eyes but he gave no sign other than that that he was ever in pain.

  Stephan hated the faraway look that was plastered on Stell’s face. All he wanted was for Stell to make eye contact and just say his name. He would give anything for that. After a couple days the stress began to wear him down.

  “Come on, babe. Something. Anything! Just say my name or... or... Michael... Francis... ANYONE!” Stephan shouted at the small form on his bed staring at the wall.

  “Lu... Lucifer...,” Mephistell’ voice shook at the name.

  “Not what I was hoping for,” Stephan scowled.

  A few more days passed, with no change in Stell’s behavior. ‘I wonder if he’ll ever come back to me,’ Stephan wondered as he sat next to Soph’s prone form.

  “Babe, I love you... but you reek. You need a shower, come on,” Stephan sighed as he pulled Stell off the bed. He lay limp in his arms. Stephan attempted to drag him to the bathroom but Stell was doing nothing to help. Stephan began laughing.

  “Can you at least TRY to help me here?” he smiled. He looked down at Stell’s face but saw nothing that hinted he even knew Stephan was there. But Stell picked up his feet and supported his own weight, though he swayed and shook.

  Stephan smiled down at the figure who was still looking at the wall.

  “Even when you’re insane you’re beautiful,” Stephan muttered. Stell’s eyes shifted to Stephan’s and they made eye contact. Stell held it for three seconds before shifting his eyes back to the wall.

  For those three seconds Stephan could have sworn he had seen the same Stell from ten years ago. With his arrogant blue eyes. But he also saw something under the arrogant sharp blue. Fear.

  ‘Insanity,’ Stephan corrected himself. ‘He’s insane. He didn’t make eye contact with you on purpose. He doesn’t even know who you are,’ Stephan thought to himself. His smile faded and he walked into the bathroom and started the shower.

  After they had both showered Stephan sat on the bed next to Stell, who was lying down on it staring at his wall. He pulled out the box that held all of his bandages to dress Stell’s wounds. Stell eyed the box for a moment. Then turned back to his wall.

  Stephan began dressing the wounds and when he got to the large whip mark across Stell’s back, tears began to fall from the demon’s eyes.

  Stephan finished and pulled Stell’s head into his lap as he sat on the bed. He began singing softly to the boy. He sang the first few lines of ‘Imagine’ before Stell sang the second verse in his softer, higher, voice.

  Stephan looked down when Stell began to sing. And saw he was no longer staring at the wall but at Stephan’s leg. Stephan lifted him so he was sitting in his lap. He cupped his face with his hands and kissed the younger man.

  “I never liked that song...” Stell said. Voice shaking. Stephan pulled back and stared at his face. The eyes were sad looking. Filled with fear and pain. But they were aware. And that was the most beautiful thing Stephan had ever seen.

  “My god...” Stephan said and leaned down for a deeper kiss. The two men kissed passionately before Stephan pulled back when he felt wetness on his face. Stell was crying.

  “I was so lost...” he cried into Stephan’s neck. He held him closer and whispered sweet endearments in his ear.

  “ I know baby. But you’re found now,” Stephan whispered, trying to soothe the other man. “How did you get back to me?” Stephan asked.

  “Michael. He sent me a bit of a wake-up call. Told me I had a wonderful man waiting for me and I had to get my ass back to him... well... my head actually,” Stell gave a weak smile. Stephan saw it was forced but it was comforting nonetheless.

  “We owe him a lot,” Stephan said. And before he realized it, he was crying as well.

  They sat quietly and held each other.

  “I heard you. All the times you were talking to me. I knew I had to get back to you but I didn’t know how. I tried, I really did...” Stell said until his sobs cut him off.

  “Shh... it’s OK. I’m here now. And you’re with me,” Stephan smiled through his tears and hugged Stell tighter. Soon, both men were asleep.

  Chapter Nine

  “Wake up, sunshines,” a voice stirred Stephan from his sleep.

  “...eh... the fuck?” Stephan grumbled. He felt something snuggle deeper into his arm. Then he remembered what had happened the night before. He smiled and looked at the small bundle curled under his arm. He looked at the long scar that covered his face and wished he could take that pain away from Stell.

  “Enough admiring your sleeping beauty. I have a present for you two,” the voice interrupted Stephan’s thoughts again.

  “Love...” Stell moaned into his armpit. And his brow scrunched into a frown.

  “No, I’m sorry. But being an angel and all, I can’t really date. It’s not you it’s me,” Michael smiled at the boy.

  Stell’s brow scrunched tighter.

  “Get up!” Michael shouted again.

  “Jesus, what’s made you so happy? Aren’t you usually all calm and collected and all that bullshit,” Stephan mumbled and snuggled into Stell’s hair, inhaling his scent.

  “Yeah, well, I have a present for you and Stell. Stell mainly. But whatever... you can be included too, now get UP!” Michael shouted and ripped the covers off the two. Both groaned and tried to snuggle into each other to keep warm.

  “Of all the tortures of hell this is by far the worst,” Stell glared at the angel.

  “Well someone got his sarcasm back,” Michael laughed.

  “Just cuz I’m crippled, don’t think I can’t still beat your ass like I did back in the 1400’s,” Stell growled.

  “You didn’t win that fight. You just killed a third of the population of Europe with a plague. Then I was forced to retreat. I said, FORCED. I would have won if not for Gabriel,” Michael reasoned.

  “Talking needs to stop now,” Stephan grumbled.

  “Forced my ass. You were scared,” Stell laughed.

  “Was not,” Michael glared.

  “Was too,” Stell retorted.

  Stephan sat up. “Babe, I love you. And I’m glad you’re not crazy anymore. But shut up and go back to sleep,” Stephan growled. Stell laughed and curled back up.

  “OK,” he sighed.

  “Not OK,” Michael shouted.

  “Get up, get up, get up,
get up!” Michael jumped on the bed wings flailing. Both men groaned more.

  “ Alright alright. We’re up.” Stephan sat up and Stell followed.

  “Good! Now I can tell you the good news!” Michael jumped once more before sitting on the bed. Stephan rubbed the sleep from his eyes and waited.

  “Stell, we’ve all been talking upstairs. And due to your recent... acts... we all have seen fit to give you back your wings,” Michael said. Suddenly calmer and formal. Stell was awake at once.

  “What?! That’s never happened before...” Stell muttered.

  Stephan waved a hand in the air. “Remember guys, not an all-powerful super-being here. Put it in plain English for me.”

  “There’s two ways to become a Demon, Stephan. One is you’re born one of Lucifer’s children,” Stell began.

  “The other is to have been created as an Angel and to have committed some crime of treason against the light and you fall from heaven. Losing your wings and falling into His world,” Michael finished.

  “So no Demon has ever gotten his wings back before?” Stephan asked still not entirely understanding.

  “It’s more than just the wings themselves, Stephan,” Michael explained.

  “If Stell chooses to give up his dark magic. He will be endowed with his Light given powers again and be free from Lucifer’s grasp. His soul will no longer belong to him,” Michael said excitedly. Stephan realized that was the first time he had heard the angel use the Devil’s name.

  Stephan glanced at Stell to see how he was taking all of this. He expected to see happiness or surprise or... something other than the heavy scowl he wore.

  “What?” Stephan asked.

  “You’re leaving out a key factor here, Michael,” Stell sighed. Stephan looked toward Michael and his smile was gone as well.

  “Yes... I know...” Michael sighed. He turned toward Stephan. “Angels are forbidden from being with a human. In any way shape or form. He would have to leave you,” Michael explained. Worry creasing the smooth skin.

  “Oh...” Stephan said. He suddenly felt tired again. “Could you give us a minute, Michael?” Stephan asked. The angel nodded and walked into the living room.

  “Stell... I love you and I always will. No matter what happens. I know what a big deal this is... if this is what you want. Then you have to do this. And I’ll support you,” Stephan said.

  “I just got you back, I can’t lose you again,” Stell sighed, putting his head in his hands.

  “You also can’t give this up. Being free from Lucifer... being free from dark magic. Being free from-”

  “You,” Stell interrupted. “There were reasons I broke the rules in Heaven, Stephan. They were stupid. Possessive. I could do nothing I wanted to do. I could hardly think for myself without some higher ranking angel smashing out my thoughts,” Stell scowled.

  “Escaping from Lucifer would be amazing, nd I would most likely take Michael up on his offer. If not for you. I know we were meant for each other. And I’ve been to hell and back to keep you, no pun intended,” Stell added. Stephan smiled.

  Stell’s eyes were still filled with pain. But the light Stephan had seen before was coming back already.

  The two men hugged.

  “Michael,” Stell called for his holy counterpart.

  “Have you decided?” Michael asked.

  “Yes, I can’t go. I can’t leave Stephan now that we finally found each other,” Stell explained. Michael looked sad but he also looked like he understood.

  “I figured you would be the dealbreaker,” Michael smiled at Stephan who held Stell close. Stephan smiled at the angel.

  “I was told that if you refused this deal then I was to offer you another,” Michael said, wings flexing in the small space.

  Stell looked surprised. “Which is?”

  “That you can stay here. With Stephan. But I relinquish you of your Demonic capabilities. You will be human. Lucifer cannot touch you. Nor can we see each other again,” Michael explained.

  “Sounds like a pretty damn good deal. Why didn’t you offer me that one first?” Stell laughed.

  “I was kind of hoping you would want you wings back. I would like to stay friends,” Michael admitted, cheeks turning red. Stell laughed.

  “Who would have ever thought after several lifetimes of fighting we would become...” Stell searched for the word.

  “Friends. I think we’re friends,” Michael smiled.

  “I guess we are, aren’t we,” Stell smiled back.

  “We owe you a lot Michael. You helped Stell. Then helped me. Then rescued Stell. Even restored his sanity. There’s no way to ever repay you,” Stephan said.

  “Yeah, well. I try,” the angel joked.

  “I suppose you’re taking the second deal then?” Michael asked. Stephan glanced at Stell and nodded his approval. Stell turned back to Michael.

  “Yes, I think we are,” Stell said. Michael smiled.

  “Alright. Well then I guess this is goodbye. You two better be good though. I’ll be checking in on both of you,” Michael smiled.

  The boys smiled back. Michael’s hands began to glow and then he was gone. Stell swayed and fell back on the pillows.

  “ Hehe, whoa,” he giggled. Stephan thought he looked high.

  “Feel any different?” Stephan asked.

  “ Feel... weak,” Stell scowled.

  “You’ll get over it,” Stephan laughed.

  Stell smiled back at Stephan. His eyes still held a lot of sadness and fear. But light was creeping into them again.

  “I love you,” Stephan sighed.

  “And I love you,” Stell whispered back. Stephan leaned in and Stell and he shared a passionate kiss.

  “I want you to take me,” Stell said. Stephan looked back at him.

  “Are you sure?” Stephan asked.

  “Yes, I’m human, so let’s make it official,” Stell answered, but his eyes showed nervousness.

  Stephan pushed Stell onto his back. He knelt between his legs and bent kissing him more. Their kisses grew more and more passionate, until Stell was gasping for breath. Stephan crept lower and planted a trail of kisses down Stell’s jaw until he reached his neck. Where he sucked heavily leaving his mark there for all to see.

  He kissed down his chest careful to avoid a burn on his side. There he sucked his right nipple into his mouth and bit at it softly.

  Stell let out sighs and moans of approval.

  Stephan moved his hand to flick and twist the other hard peak, before licking a trail down his abs to his underwear, which he made quick work of removing. Stell’s cock sprung to life as Stephan’s warm breath bathed it. He let out a soft moan of need and Stephan wrapped a hand around his aching erection.

  He began pumping Stell’s dick slowly, teasing the smaller man. Stell began whimpering and purring in delight.

  Stephan sucked the head into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. He lapped at the slit where warm pre-cum dripped from. He loved the taste of Stell as he sucked harder to get more of the juicy liquid.

  He stopped pumping with his hand and Stell moaned in protest. But Stephan soon silenced his negative moans and replaced them with grunts of satisfaction when Stephan slipped most of Stell’s dick into his warm waiting mouth.

  Stell thrusted his hips up trying to force more of his cock into Stephan’s mouth. But Stephan held his hips down and lowered his mouth slowly onto the rock hard member. Stell whimpered and more pre-cum dripped from his slit.

  When he had finally reached the bottom Stephan began sucking Stell’s aching dick like his life depended on it.

  He wanted to make Stell cum so the next part of their lovemaking could be slow and sensual. Not frantic for release.

  After a short time of sucking Stell cried out his release and Stephan’s mouth was filled with his warm seed.

  Stephan moaned as he swallowed it down and felt Stell’s dick twitch at the vibrations.

  Stephan removed his mouth and smiled up at Stell who was flu
shed and beginning to sweat. He panted softly and it only made Stephan want to fuck him more.

  Stephan crawled up Stell’s body until he was eye to eye with the smaller boy. He kissed him and Stell could taste his own flavor on his tongue. Stephan reached a hand between his legs until he reached his smooth hole. He slowly circled his finger around the boy’s secret entrance. Stell moaned into Stephan’s mouth and threaded his fingers through Stephan’s hair. Stephan stopped suddenly.

  “Fuck,” Stephan grumbled.

  “What?” Stell looked up at him confused.

  “I don’t have any condoms. But I haven’t been with anyone since you,” Stephan admitted, blushing heavily.

  “I’ve never been with anyone,” Stell replied blushing.

  “And you have to be tested for your job frequently don’t you?” Stell asked.

  “Yes, are you OK with this?” Stephan asked. Stell nodded his head and smiled. Stephan reached over to the bed stand drawer and pulled out a small tube of KY.

  Stell looked at him confused.

  “For those lonely nights when I would think of you,” Stephan blushed harder. Stell smiled and kissed him again. Stephan squirted a bit of the jelly onto his finger before returning his hand to Stell’s hole. He slowly circled his finger over the tiny rosebud, warming the lube.

  Stell moaned and pushed back on his finger showing he wanted more. Stephan used his other arm to push Stell’s knees up to his chest to give him more access.

  He slowly inserted the first finger into Stell’s warm channel. Stell moaned and tried to hump back on Stephan’s digit. Stephan took that as a good sign and began thrusting the finger in and out of Stell’s hole.

  “More, please,” Stell moaned. Stephan inserted a second finger slowly into Stell. He flinched as he felt a little more full before adjusting quickly and moaned loudly. Stephan began to thrust his fingers in and out before he began to scissor them inside Stell, trying to loosen his hole.

  “I’m ready. Please, please, I need you inside me,” Stell begged. Stephan’s dick twitched at the words. He rose onto his knees and put his cock at Stell’s entrance.

  “Take a deep breath. It will hurt at first but it will feel really good soon,” Stephan kissed Stell one more time before pushing his dickhead into the tight hole. Stephan sighed at the tightness and wanted to ram into Stell and take him roughly. But he also wanted to care for his lover and bring him pleasure too. Stell hissed at the pain but adjusted quickly.
