  Chapter 24

  Incomplete

  Evie stretched out and realized she was in bed alone. Then she heard the shower going in the en suite. The morning and what had happened seemed like a dream now but, she knew it was real. She still felt like ordinary Evie, but now she had wings. In truth, she hadn’t been ordinary for a while anyway. The man, or Midworlder, in the shower in the other room loved her, and a few weeks ago she could not have dreamed all this was possible. If she had dreamed it, she would have been considered insane anyway.

  Slipping her legs over the side of the bed, she waited to make sure she wasn’t too dizzy. In the bathroom, she could just make out the silhouette of Heath through the frosted glass of the shower door. She slipped out of her underwear and opened it. He turned around and smiled when he saw her there. The way he gazed up and down her body, as if he were drinking in every detail, made her feel hot to the core.

  “May I join you?”

  “That has to be a trick question because you know I would never say no.” He reached out his hand and pulled her in so her naked body was against his, while the warm water poured down on them. His hands roamed up and down her back, and his lips found her neck. His tongue kept doing tiny circles just below her ear that drove her crazy with need. Their bodies slowly moved, so she her back was against the wall and he continued his kisses down to her breasts. It wasn’t the water, but him, making her nipples rock-hard in small brown peaks. They were not the only thing that was rock-hard around here, as she peered down at his wonderful erection. So long she had dreamed of what it would feel like to have him inside her, and today she would find out.

  He sucked hard on her nipple, biting down lightly, and the pain sent a tingle down between her legs, and she let out a groan. His hand moved down through her curls and encouraged her to open her legs to him. She did so willingly, and he inserted his finger, causing her to gasp. Slowly he moved it in and out. Then he started using more fingers, and she loved the slight stretch. His other hand touched her clit, flicking it. She could feel the sensations building and couldn’t believe she could come so quickly. As she groaned her release, he moved his face up close to hers and kissed her hard on the lips. His tongue entered her mouth and took her. When he moved his lips away, his fingers were still inside her, as she pulsed and clenched onto them.

  “I love it when your body does that, and I know I am the cause. Later I want to feel that on my cock as you take it in.”

  “I want that, too.”

  When he moved away she grabbed the soap and started to wash his chest. He had a new tattoo on his shoulder that looked demon like. She wondered if it was a remnant of the darkness on him. He closed his eyes and had a grin on his face, as she moved her hand up and down his shaft. Then she let the water rinse off the suds and handed him the soap. He started with her arms, slowly washing them all the way out to the fingertips. Then her back and her butt, then he turned her around and paid a great deal of attention to her breasts. When he had finished, she rinsed off.

  He turned off the taps and was about to open the shower door when she put her hands on his chest and pushed him back against the wall. This time it was her turn as she reached up on tip toe and kissed him. She could feel his dick pressing against her body as their bodies connected. She left his lips and kissed his chin and neck, and then slowly made her way down his body until she reached the head of his cock.

  She knelt on the floor, and he spread his legs wide as she took the head of his cock into her mouth. He groaned, and it spurred her on even more. She moved back and forth, sucking as one of her hands moved up and down on his shaft. Her other hand teased and rolled his balls between her fingers. His ass cheeks squeezed, and he started to move forward, thrusting into her. His hand came down and was on her head encouraging her to take more of him into her. She wanted him as deep as she could take him, and when she heard him scream out his release, she swallowed as he emptied his seed into her. He pumped as she squeezed his balls again and felt them strain in her hand.

  He helped her up from her knees and kissed her so his tongue searched every corner of her mouth. When he eventually stopped, he grinned at her.

  “That is so fucking hot, tasting me in your mouth.”

  “I see my bad language is rubbing off on you.” She laughed at him, but he raised an eyebrow and looked deadly serious.

  “I need you in bed.”

  As they dried off, she stared at the wing tattoos on his back. It suddenly occurred to her she would have them, too. She grabbed a towel and wiped the condensation from the mirror and turned so she could see her back. Sure enough, she had wing tattoos that stretched from her shoulders down over her butt and onto her thighs. She let out a squeak of delight, and Heath laughed. He scooped her up and carried her into the other room and placed her on the bed. He lay next to her on his side and glanced up and down her body. She never felt self-conscious with him, as the adoration could be seen in his eyes, and she just wanted to wallow in it.

  Heath reached across and placed his palm on her hip and then ran his hand down her thigh and back up again. He moved closer and kissed her hip where his hand had been and then moved to her waist, planting small kisses on her skin as he went. She moved onto her back, and he continued across to her navel. Settling himself between her legs, his lips descended on her right breast, and she found herself pushing into him so he would suck and bite harder. His other hand touched her other breast, rolling the nipple between his fingers. There seemed to be a direct connection from her boobs to her pussy at this point, as she felt the ache of need for him building there again.

  She wanted to kiss him so much but knew he had other plans, as he licked a trail with the tip of his tongue from the curve of her waist and down to her groin. The little kisses he gave her made her giggle when he found a sensitive spot. Bringing her knees up, she let her legs fall apart as he moved to her clit. Whatever he was doing with his tongue was pure magic, as he flicked and sucked on her sensitive spot. Her legs jerked with little spasms, as her body reacted to his glorious attention.

  Then he moved lower, so he could kiss her lips and insert his tongue into her while his finger continued to work on her clit. She couldn’t stop the groan that left her mouth. It spurred him on, as he returned with his lips to her clit and pushed his fingers inside her. Her body automatically clenched onto them with need. She had never felt so hot and wet before, and she could happily spend the rest of her life doing this with him.

  Slowly, he moved his finger back and forth so she would almost climax, and then he would stop, and then start again. Evie didn’t know how much more she could take, as the sensations flitted through her body. He was killing her with pleasure, but what a way to go. He moved back, so he knelt between her legs. He closed his eyes for a second, and his wings appeared, and he spread them out, and they shuddered while he moved.

  “I have wanted you so much. I want to see this.” He grabbed a pillow, and Evie lifted her hips, so he could slip it underneath.

  Evie looked at him through lidded eyes, as he stared between her legs. She could feel him push the head of his cock in, and her body reacted instantly, as she tightened onto him. So slowly he moved forward and back, as his finger gently massaged her clit while he did so. She threw her head from side to side, as she dealt with the feelings. Back and forth, he moved until she could almost take all his wonderful length. He leaned forward over her chest, as he rested on one elbow.

  “You are so hot and wet, I never want to stop doing this. Put your hand down and feel us. This is not my mind-world. We are together.”

  Evie slid her hand down his chest and across his lower abdomen until she reached his cock. He was so firm, and she could feel it disappearing into her and then moving back and plunging in again. Her hand went to his balls, which were so taut and ready for release.

  “I love you so much, Evie.”

 
“I love you, too, Heath. Now fuck me stupid because I can’t wait any longer.” When he moved up her body, she wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her, and she reveled in the fact that the taste of her was on him. He looked her in the face as he slowly entered her again, only this time completely, as she encased every inch of his magnificent cock. He thrust repeatedly, and she rocked with him. Each movement nearly made her insane with need, and when his hand reached down and touched her clit again, she was gone again. Her body shuddered as the crescendo built, and she continued to spasm around his shaft.

  While her body was still riding the glow of her orgasm, he plunged repeatedly until he gasped his release. The guttural sound of his groans, as he slowly moved back and forth and pumped out every last bit of his seed into her, was the most magnificent thing she had ever heard. He collapsed onto her and neither of them could move, the sensations were so acute. Their bodies were hot and sticky and so joined at that moment, she thought she would cry. Heath rested on his elbows and bent down to kiss the tip of her nose.

  “I’m going to run us a bath and massage you, and then we will eat, and you will fly, and then I plan on doing this all over again.”

  “I’m happy with that suggestion, but next time I’m on top.”

  “If that’s what the lady wants, that's what the lady gets.” Heath rolled off and made his way to the bathroom, where she could hear the water running and smell the scent of gardenias. Standing at the door, she found him already in the bath surrounded by bubbles.

  “You didn’t wait for me.” He gestured for her to come across, and she sat in front of him between his legs. She let out a sigh, as he started to massage her beginning at the base of her spine and working his way up to her shoulders.

  “You know, if you give up your day job as a Midworlder, then I would be willing to give you a reference as a masseuse.”

  “You mean, you wouldn’t mind me doing this to someone else?”

  “Hell yes, I would.”

  “Then I will just be your personal masseuse.”

  “Just as well, as I’d probably kill you and anyone I found you in the bath with.”

  “There is never a chance of that. I sense the others are waiting to see us. I would love to spend the rest of the evening in bed with you pleasuring your body, but they might think us rude.”

  They washed and got out of the bath, dressed, and went out to meet the others. Ridge came across and slapped him on the back and whispered something in his ear to make him laugh. When Heath returned to her side, she raised an eyebrow.

  “What did he say? Out with it.”

  “He congratulated us and said the walls are thick, but not thick enough.”

  Evie could feel herself go red as her Aunt Georgia approached and hugged her. Hopefully, her aunt had been in the kitchen and hadn’t heard a thing. The aroma of food made her mouth water.

  “I have made a feast for us all. I hope that man of yours treated you well. Is he still going to marry you? Where is the ring he gave you, and will you live in England or Jamaica?”

  Evie shook her head and laughed. “So many questions. He is wonderful, and we will marry one day. Being beside him for as long as I can is something I do want. As for where we will live, I think it will be the manor house. You can fly back first-class anytime you want.”

  “I want you to ask one of them to take me up for a flight. I’m a big woman, but I think Luke could manage me. Anyway, let’s eat.”

  They all sat around the table, and over the next two hours, Evie’s heart swelled with happiness as she gazed around at family and friends. Heath took her hand, and she leaned against his shoulder.

  “I sense your happiness, and I’m happy to be part of it. I thought we could go flying whenever you feel ready.”

  He was right that she was happy, but it all seemed like a dream, it was so perfect. Life had been crap so often, she was waiting for it all to fall apart.

  “I have to admit, I’m a bit scared, but if I put it off, I’ll just get worse. Nicole said it took her a while, but then again, she’s scared of heights. I’ll just go to the bathroom, and I’ll be back in a minute.” Evie didn’t want to say anything, but her stomach was turning over, which was probably due to nerves.

  As she walked into the bathroom, she put her hand to her chest as she struggled to get air into her lungs. It was probably all the spiced food she had eaten giving her heartburn. She splashed her face to try to stop the heat wafting over her or she would faint. It didn’t help when the room started to spin and she started coughing.

  She couldn’t stop the hacking coughs, as her lungs protested and she wheezed. She grabbed some toilet paper, and she coughed up whatever was in the back of her throat choking her. The tissue was red with a blood clot. No. The single word reverberated through her brain.

  She didn’t hesitate, and undid her blouse and pulled it from her shoulders. With her back to the mirror, she glanced over her shoulder to see what she expected. The tattoo was disappearing. A tear slipped down her cheek. It had been too good to be true. She thought she was different, but you couldn’t cheat death. She gripped onto the sink, but her legs were going to give out as they turned to Jell-O, and she fell to the floor with a thump. She didn’t want it to be like this. She wanted everybody to be happy, including herself.

  The bathroom door burst open as Heath rushed in with Nicole, Ridge, and the others behind him.

  “What’s wrong? I sensed you’re in pain my love,” Heath said, as he scooped her up in his arms. The look of worry on his face made her heart ache. She didn’t want to be the person they needed to worry about anymore.

  Evie closed her eyes for a moment and showed him the tissue. She didn’t need to say anything. He held her against his chest. She glanced up to see him, looking straight ahead at her back, reflected in the mirror. He gazed down, and she nodded that she knew her wing tattoos were fading. She could see the muscles tighten in his jaw, as he returned to being the controlled Midworlder he was. He glanced up to Genia and Nicole.

  “Is there anything you can do?”

  “Bring her out, and lay her on the bed,” Nicole said.

  Heath didn’t let go of her hand, as the two women examined her, but she could see he was already losing the battle to control his emotions. Evie could see the tears in Aunt Georgia’s eyes as well. She didn’t want to lose these people, but she wasn’t gone yet.

  “Okay, you morbid lot. I have a joke,” Evie said.

  Ridge snickered, and Heath gave him a cold and chilling look.

  “Stop that, Heath, or you’ll ruin my joke.”

  Heath shook his head at her and kissed her fingers.

  “What do you call a guy with a one-inch penis?”

  Aunt Georgia burst out laughing, and Evie guessed she knew the answer but wasn’t telling anyone, as she looked down at her lap.

  “Justin.” Genia answered, as she maintained her poker face, and everyone burst out laughing.

  “I knew you would know it. Right, if you know that one then sort this shit out before this man of mine goes weird on us all.” Evie gave them all the evil eye, not wanting them to get soft and weepy on her.

  Heath stared at her, as if she had insulted his parentage, which would be hard with a Midworlder. She winked, and he winked right back. She shook her head at him. Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy would never have winked. She could not love this man any more than at this moment.

  Genia and Nicole knelt on the bed and held their hands above her chest. It only took them a moment, and Evie could feel her breathing become easier, but she was still in pain.

  Genia smiled and took her hand when they were done.

  “I liked the joke. I’ll tell you another one later. From what we can tell, your injuries are returning. I believe it’s because Liliath didn’t finish healing you completel
y. The transformation held for a while, but now it’s fading.”

  “So what do we do? I refuse to lose you,” Heath said.

  Heath was beside her and he brought his face and lips next to hers. He wanted her forever, and she just wanted to hold onto him for one moment longer. Their minds were so entwined now, she could feel his pain. If this feeling went both ways, she had to convince him there was hope.

  Ridge stood beside the bed and put his hand on Heath’s shoulder. “I think we should return to Pergor, my friend. It’s about time us Angelic Midworlders started to call in some favors.”

  Evie could see a war was brewing and knew she was now a part of it. She hadn’t asked for any of it, but she would stand by Heath and his people until the end.

  Genia walked forward. “I actually agree and know an Elevated we can approach. If the Demonics are breaking the rules, we might as well join in before we all go down.”

  Evie enjoyed the closeness, as Heath picked her up, and they headed out to the balcony at the back of the house. His wings appeared, and she reached up and touched them. The feathers felt soft near his shoulders. Then she ran her fingers down to his waist and realized they were sharp like blades.

  “They weren’t like that before, were they?” she asked.

  “It’s because I’m bonded to you. Midworlders are programmed to protect their partners. When you transformed, so did I. The genetics they implanted us with caused the change.

  “We can do this together. I always thought I was a freak, so it’s nice to have company. By the way, you promised me more great sex, and I know you like to keep your promises.”

  He didn’t say anything but kissed her deeply so she knew she was his and he was hers. She cuddled close, as they rose into the sky. Within seconds, the city of Kingston was way below, and then the stars disappeared as the conduit to Pergor opened.
