Lost so much what? So many questions whirling in my head but another scream catapulted us into action. Aliuth and I traded a knowing look before we bolted downstairs, following the source of the voice. I followed close behind him, not for my own safety. I knew I could take care of myself. I had been on my own for the rest of my life. I only wanted to feel his presence, his warmth against my body.
My heart was pounding against my chest as my eyes darted in all directions. Please don’t let it be Tessa. I felt bad for thinking that way. If it wasn’t Tessa, it would be someone else. I didn’t want anybody to be harmed.
“How long has it been?” I muttered, not expecting Aliuth to hear me.
“A few months.” I wanted to ask about the statistics but when I saw the uneasy look on Aliuth’s face, I changed my mind. The afternoon sun blazed through the tall arched window and warmed up the eerily quiet corridor. We inched gingerly down the corridor, making the least noise as possible when Aliuth suddenly pulled up.
I stood behind him, feeling a premonition upon us. I sucked in a deep breath as a chill ran down my spine. The bloodshot eyes of the Agent of Darkness pierced into mine. Frightening thoughts and memories raced through my mind, making it spin in delirium.
“Oh my god,” I muttered. The haze of fear rose within me as I followed the scrawny pale hand to the neck of the girl being pinned against the wall. I felt bad for feeling relieved realizing she wasn’t Tessa. I should’ve known better Tessa would have been better at taking care of herself. After all, she saved me from Aliuth before.
“Let go of the girl right now,” growled Aliuth. He sounded so damn hot when he was angry. I knew it wasn’t the right time to be fangirling over him but I couldn’t help as the heat roared through me. I clutched tightly onto the hem of my skirt, trying to focus on the incident happening right before our eyes.
The Agent of Darkness turned his pale white face towards us. The corner of his sickly lips quirked up into a smirk. “Aliuth…you can’t stop us all. Our numbers are growing. You know it’s about time we all will be worshipping Andrajvah. You might as well surrender to our master sooner. Give him your heart.”
My eyes darted between Aliuth and the Agent of Darkness. The dirty sharp claws of the Agent of Darkness dug deep into the flesh of his victim, drawing blood. The victim was whimpering, muttering pleas for help. I couldn’t stop thinking about the infection that might be.
Aliuth’s fiery eyes stilled on his ghostly face, they looked like they were about to explode from his skull. His fists clenched, his lips were trembling. “It’s not going to happen. You know that. It’s not going to happen.” His knuckles popped as he tightened his fists. His veins bulged on his lean muscles packed under the glistening skin. Damn, it was so fucking hot. I missed the feeling of being wrapped by those thick biceps.
My breathing got heavier by the second. I couldn’t tell if it was from the anxiety or the horny. I licked my dry lips, looking for a chance to sweep the girl off from the Agent of Darkness’ grip. If Aliuth kept distracting him, I might stand a chance. But Aliuth was distracting me instead.
Sweat formed on my face.
“You’re stalling time and living in denial. That’s not very you, Aliuth.” The Agent of Darkness sniggered. The males traded looks. Aliuth got into a defensive stance. They seemed like they were about to get into a fight. I knew it was my chance. Adrenaline catapulted me towards the Agent of Darkness.
“Lamora, no!” Aliuth’s voice chased behind me. It was too late. I’d already sprung into action. My heart thundered in my chest as everything suddenly was in slow motion. The crimson irises of the Agent of Darkness expanded as I aimed for his arm. All I wanted was to save the girl. Her shriek was the only thing I heard when my palm was connected with the scrawny pale arm.
I could feel his ulna pressing hard against my palm. I thought I could break his arm but I merely knocked it off. The girl slipped out of the Agent of Darkness’’ grip and broke free. “Thank you, oh god…” I heard her murmur between sobs as she breezed past me. I turned around, following her with my eyes as she bolted down the hallway where Aliuth and I had come from.
“Lamora!” Aliuth’s voice rang in my ears. When I spun towards him, a frightened look crossed his face. “Watch out!” His voice sounded warped when I felt a rough tug on my arm, making my stomach lurch. A cry ripped from my chest as I fell backward. My arms flailed in the air before a painful thump of my back connecting against the door.
My breath was knocked out of my lungs before the iron claw locked on my neck. Panic rose and formed a lump of my throat as the fiery eyes of the Agent of Darkness penetrated against mine. Within the course of a few seconds, I had traded positions with the girl I was trying to save.
“Darvon! No!” shouted Aliuth. His urgent eyes darted between me and the Agent of Darkness. Darvon? Aliuth actually knew him personally? I sucked in a breath as my eyes darted between the two, wondering what was this all about.
Darvon gritted his teeth at me instead, without batting an eye at Aliuth. He tightened his grip onto my neck, his nails digging into my flesh. Oh shit, I hoped I wouldn’t get any infection from this. “You think you’re a smartass, huh? Heroism is not always worth it, little girl.”
“Darvon, if you fucking touch her, I swear to god, I will fucking crush you!” My heart almost melted by how protective Archangel Aliuth had been I thought even if I should die right now, I would be dying happy. When Darvon grunted and tightened his grip on me until my head was slammed against the wall behind, I was snapped back to the horror of what was happening. My nerves were bouncing around me.
“What are you going to do, Aliuth?” My stomach plummeted when Darvon grabbed my boob with his free hand. I whimpered, fighting my urges to moan as his fingers treaded and molded my lady lump between his fingers. I writhed, trying to free myself from his restraints and his lecherous hand. I let out a cry when Darvon tightened his claw on my neck, shutting out my airway, making me gasp.
My hands flew to my neck. My eyes fluttered shut as pleading moans rolled from my chest. I hated how hot I found it being molested while Aliuth was watching. I didn’t think Darvon’s teasing did anything to me. But the fact that Aliuth was there, watching his lewd hand explore what belonged to Aliuth. That was what was turning me on.
My breath was caught in my throat as my pussy tingled with need.
“Are you gonna go against what you’ve always stood for? Are you going to really hurt me, your brother? It’s not like you, Aliuth. Maybe you’re losing your faith as well. Maybe you’re slowly…straying to the dark side.”
My eyes widened as Aliuth snarled through his perfect set of white teeth. He looked like he paid regular visits to his dentist. “You’re no longer my brother, Darvon. You’re nothing but a fucking tool of the Underworld.”
Darvon scoffed. I felt a blazing heat climbing up my spine when Darvon’s hand traveled down the curves of my hips and between my glistening inner thighs. “Mmmm, Aliuth…please,” I muttered.
My knees weakened as the intrusive fingers of the Agent of Darkness moved closer and closer to my source of heat. I held my breath as his bony fingers teased my raw wet folds. My whole body tightened with erotic need as I clenched my fists and threw my head back. It felt so dirty and sinful as his fingers glided up and down my clit.
“Mmmm, you’re not wearing any underwear and clean-shaven and so wet…You did this for me, didn’t you?” growled Darvon. I was whimpering, hating myself for enjoying this too much as his fingers delved deeper into my delicate spot, making my pussy weep harder. “Mmmm, you’re getting wetter by the second. You want something bigger and harder inside you?”
I cried out when Darvon lifted my skirt, exposing my pussy glazing with a thin film of pre-cum. sparks flew in my stomach when Darvon kicked me lightly on the shin to spread my legs wider. He thrust his crotch against my hips as his fingers slid up and down my pussy. I could feel his erection against me.
The fire scorch
ed the skin on my cheeks when my eyes fell on Aliuth’s face. He must be thinking about what a dirty, needy slut I was. His face darkened and tensed, reflecting the tightness of his biceps. His chest heaved and fell erratically and his cock was prodding against his crotch.
“Oh, Aliuth, you like watching, don’t you?” said Darvon. Aliuth’s growl punctuated the loud blood rushing through my ears. My stomach plummeted when Darvon suddenly flipped me around so I was facing the wall. I fell forward before my palms were pressed against the wall for support.
My legs were trembling with need when my skirt hiked up, baring my ass and spread my cheeks, exposing my silky wet pussy for both males to see. I groaned and hung my head low when Darvon slapped me on the ass, sending an electric bolt straight to my core.
“Look how wet your pussy is for me,” growled Darvon. My heart turned into quivering jelly. It was my chance to break free but my will was caving in. I kinda wanted Darvon to explore my body in front of Aliuth.
A gasp tore from my lips when Darvon’s hand slipped under my tank top and grabbed my left breast while his other hand glided down the cleft of my ass before his two fingers thrust through my aching, tight pussy lips. With my ass arched up like that and my legs spread wide, the two males could see clearly how Darvon’s fingers were spreading my pussy lips. “Mmmm, fuck!” My body bucked forward as I pinched my eyes closed.
My pussy ached with a sweet thrill as his fingers stretched the rim of my pussy. A mix of pain and pleasure sizzled through my skin. I chewed my lips raw and fought with every ounce of will and dignity left in me to not moan and buck my hips back against his fingers.
I scratched my nails against the rough surface of the wall, fighting the sexual urges that were slowly burning and consuming this body. The torment of having to fight the feelings you wanted to embrace so badly was greater than anything I had felt before. It wasn’t as bad when the powers I possessed for most of my life were ripped from my hands.
Hot gasps escaped from my gritted teeth as I turned to Aliuth, mustering the most imploring look I could manage. Aliuth’s face was bright red as his eyes darted between my face and my pussy. “Aliuth, please...” I knew I was about to break. It didn’t help when Aliuth was getting hard, his hard-on pressed against his crotch, leaving nothing to the imagination.
My moans rolled out in an endless stream as the mental images of the archangel’s godly sex whirled in my head. My pussy spasmed. That was the undoing of me. I caved and started bucking my hips back against Darvon’s fingers, impaling myself while trying to reach for my orgasm.
I pinched my eyes closed, feeling the fire burning in my cheeks and pretended not to see the victorious smirk creeping on the Agent of Darkness’ pale face. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? You little slut. Your pussy is so tight, squeezing onto my fingers. It’s gonna feel so good when you squeeze my cock.”
He squeezed my tits harder, making me yelp in excitement. His warm breath skated across my skin as he kissed my neck. “I’m going to give you hard and rough…mmm…your pussy is getting tighter and wetter now. You’re getting so horny right now, my little slut.”
Darvon’s labored breath picked up when I heard him unbuckle his pants. With an anguished roar, Aliuth threw himself onto Darvon. In a blink of an eye, Darvon had disappeared next to me. His fingers plopped out of my pussy, leaving an aching void that yearned to be filled up.
Catching my breath, I fixed up my clothes. I forgot how to breathe when I witnessed Aliuth spring into action. Both males were on the ground, Aliuth on top of Darvon. Aliuth’s eyes flashed with a dangerous gleam as he raised his muscular arm. His fingers balled into a fist that was connected to Darvon’s face in a sickening loud thud. “You fucking scum! Don’t you dare touch my girl anymore,” growled Aliuth. I was moved, my heart swelling with a wave of love and happiness.
A rivulet of blood dripped from Darvon’s nose. He broke into a maniacal laugh that bared his bloodied teeth. Aliuth could really pack a hefty punch. “Oh, really? I’m afraid your girl was enjoying it. You saw how wet and horny she got when I played with her pussy.”
Aliuth growled through his gritted teeth before he raised his arm and slammed his fist on Darvon’s face again and again. I grimaced in disgust and turned away as Darvon’s face turned into a bloodied pulp. When Darvon’s painful grunts and the appalling thuds stopped, I turned around to see Aliuth with his head hung low and eyes closed.
His chest heaved and collapsed as he gasped for air. Sweat dripped off his forehead. Darvon’s eyes rolled back in his skull as life left him. His unconscious body flopped on the ground.
“Aliuth, are you okay?” I inched towards Aliuth when he didn’t answer. A wave of pity for him coursed through me when he looked up with a lost look on his face.
“Are you alright, Lamora?” His voice dripped with concern. I nodded. My mouth and throat went dry when Aliuth turned away. He reached for the side of his pants and whipped out a dagger. My hands flew to cover my mouth. I looked away when Aliuth gripped the shiny golden dagger with his hands and hovered it over Darvon’s chest.
“Fuck,” I muttered when Aliuth groaned in disgust. I’d heard that an archangel’s dagger in the heart was the only way to end an Agent of Darkness. If I wasn’t convinced Aliuth was an archangel before, I would be now. I fought to steady my breathing and shut out the mental images of Darvon when Aliuth took my side.
“Are you okay?”
I nodded, though I felt like throwing up. I looked into his sad blue eyes. “You knew him?”
Aliuth pursed his lips, a pained expression crossed his face when he nodded.
“He called you brother. Was he?”
“Darvon was an angel and a friend so close I considered him a brother from another mother.” Aliuth tilted his head to glance at Darvon before his body turned into ash that danced away with the wind. I stood there in silence, feeling the wind playing with my hair. “One day, he was captured by a group of Agents of Darkness and dragged into the Underworld. It was the end for him. Andrajvah, the king of the Underworld brainwashed him and turned him against us. There was no turning back. He was corrupted forever. It was the only choice I had.”
Sorrow seeped into his words at the last bit. “I’m so sorry, Aliuth. You did what you could. You did what you’re supposed to do.”
Aliuth’s eyes interlocked with mine as he cupped his hands on my face. “I didn’t want the same fate to befall upon you. I was so worried about you.”
I placed my hands on top of his and shook my head. “I’ll be fine.”
“Why did you do that? It was so dangerous.” Aliuth’s masculine voice suddenly became stern and serious. “You wouldn’t be able to kill him anyway. You need the sword of an archangel…or the curse. Anyway, it’s not important now.”
“I’m sorry I worried you, Aliuth. I didn’t think too much. I just wanted to save the other girl but I forgot that my powers have been taken away…” My voice trailed away as a wave of sadness came over me. I never realized how inconvenient it was without my powers until they were taken away from me. Aliuth held my hands and pressed his lips against mine.
My eyes fluttered closed as I kissed him back. He cupped his hand on my cheek and deepened his claiming. “You’re too precious to me, Lamora. I don’t want anything to happen to you,” he growled between his kisses.
A surge of lust for Aliuth scorched anew within me. I still remembered the angry and possessive look on Aliuth’s face when Darvon was molesting me. Seeing him being all jealous and possessive was so freaking hot I got wet again. I groaned into his mouth as his hand cupped on my breast. His hand cupped perfectly on my lump as if they had always belonged together.
“Mmmm…” I groaned.
“You were so wet when Darvon was touching you,” said Aliuth, sounding sad and angry at the same time.
“Because you were watching it.”
“I don’t like it when someone else touches you. Or even get too close to you.”
My stomach fluttered. “But I never said I was yours.”
Aliuth growled and pinned my arms against the wall. My breasts gently touched his chest as we breathed. I writhed, trying to break free from his iron grip but Aliuth was holding me tightly, not letting go. I didn’t want him to let go. Being pinned down and dominated by him felt so sensual and wrong in a good way.
A groan escaped from my chest as Aliuth dove in and trailed his kisses across my shoulder blades. I threw my head back, exposing the sensitive part of my neck where Aliuth continued to trail his kisses on my skin as if he wanted to reclaim his territory on my body after it had been touched by Darvon.
Blazing heat clambered up my body when Aliuth’s lips explored further down. I let out a needy groan when Aliuth sucked onto my breast over the sheer fabric of my top. “Mmmm…oh god, fuck, this is too much.” Hot gasps rushed out through my lips as my body firmed up.
I writhed and tried to break free but Aliuth only held me tighter. Hot blood pounded in my ears, punctuated by the filthy wet sounds that Aliuth’s sensual lips made that I wished I could shut my ears from. When he pulled away, there was a wet dark spot on my tank top.
