“It’s a plant from the Immortal world. It can make you stronger, faster, smarter and also gets you high.”
“Those are just the positives Holly. Ether is highly addictive and can also affect your powers, Make you angrier, violent, aggressive. There’s no way you should be taking it.”
“I know but I can’t stop…”
“Jesus Holly.” He spun away from her. “I can help you stop, but you have to promise that you won’t take it anymore.”
“Caleb…”
“Promise!”
“Okay.”
When he faced her his angelic face was covered with relief. “Good. We should be getting back It’ll be dark soon.”
She could tell he was still angry at her and she wasn’t sure if she could survive without the drug, it had been a life line to her over the past few months. But she knew Caleb was right it was dangerous and she shouldn’t be using it especially with her powers still all over the place.
She would have to find another life saver to cling to.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
After meeting Layla in town for some window shopping Holly picked up take away on the way back to the lodge, and was busy plating it up when she heard Dominic’s bike pull into the yard. She dashed the food to the table and raced to meet him at the door.
He beamed when he noticed her waiting for him.
“Hey handsome.” She said watching him eat up the distance between them. He kissed her with such passion that her legs buckled and would have gave out if Dominic hadn’t pinned her against the glass pane of the door. By the time he broke away she was breathless and as giddy as a school girl.
“I needed that.” He said in her ear. Lust and desire threatened to overwhelm her, could they ever be together without feeling the need to fuck like rabbits?
“Hope you’re hungry,” she said taking his hand and leading him further into the lodge, fighting the need to have him right there. “I made supper.” His eyebrows arched in surprise. “Well I ordered it but still…”
A bedazzled smile played with his red lips as he took off his jacket and hung it over the sofa. “I could get used to coming home to you.”
“What about me?” Caleb asked playfully emerging from the bathroom.
“Not so much.” Dom said with evident disappointment.
“Play nice guys. The three of us haven’t shared a meal in ages; I’d thought it would be nice.” She said reproachfully sitting down. Caleb took the chair to her right while Dom hesitated.
“What is it? Holly asked him following his gaze over to the still open doorway. A shadow stepped over the threshold and the lights of the lodge slowly illuminated the dark. He could have been Dominic’s twin; his facial features and pale skin were alike in every way except from the eyes. Where Dominic’s were dark and stormy the strangers were cold and grey.
“Holly this is my brother, Legion.”
Tense silence reigned and was interrupted only by the sound of Caleb choking on his egg fried rice. Legion breezed into the room with cocky confidence. “No need to get you’re panties in a twist Caleb, I’m not staying.” He said while staring at Holly. His voice was hard and full of twisted amusement. “May I have a few minutes of your time Holly?” He asked smoothly. She looked at Dom who nodded. “Go ahead.”
“Holly stay where you are.” Caleb commanded rising. “What the hell are you doing Dom? Have you lost your mind?”
Dominic rolled his eyes. “This doesn’t concern you Caleb.”
“Doesn’t concern…” He threw down his napkin and marched over to Dom. “Holly will always concern me as long as she’s with an egotistical, sex obsessed, rash Devil like you!”
“Rash? Who are you calling rash? You jug less clown.”
Holly removed her own napkin in defeat. That quiet, intimate supper she had planned had gone right down the drain. Nothing could get between them when they went at each other like this. Holly often thought that they acted more like brothers than enemies. Catching Legion’s eye she got up and followed him out the door.
“Well I’m sorry if I don’t spread it around like you do. I have a bit more respect for myself!” Caleb roared.
“Is that why your screwing the town bike?” Dominic yelled back as Holly shut the door behind her. They hadn’t even noticed she had left.
“They were always like that.” Legion said watching her. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Holly Adams.”
She turned to him. “What do you want from me?”
He smiled lazily it was the same smile Dominic had given her a hundred times. “You don’t waste time with small talk, I admire that.” He offered her his arm. “Walk with me.”
Holly took it and they strolled down the dirt path. “You look like him.”
“No my dear Dominic looks like me, but thank you for the compliment.”
“How did you know I meant as a compliment?”
He grinned wickedly. “It’s not hard to see how you feel about him, nor him about you. Love is a rare gift Holly, never let it go.” His voice had a sad edge to it. “I like the way things are. I have handled Hells business on Earth since my father was first imprisoned. I can’t go back to being the organ grinder. Hell is hot and noisy and not my favourite place. That is why I’ve agreed to help keep you safe. Do you believe me?”
Holly studied him while walking. “Yes but I still don’t trust you.”
“Good girl. Never trust anyone Holly, not even your nearest and dearest, they will always let you down in the end.”
“Wow that’s cynical.” She snorted.
“No its truth. Take it from someone who’s been around a while. Everyone lets you down eventually.”
They came to where the dirt trail converged with the main road and came to a stop.
“Is that your way of warning me about you?” It was hard to figure Legion out. One minute he was charming and pleading his case as to why she should trust him the next he was distant and telling her to do the opposite.
“Give me Your hand.” He told her holding out his own. She looked down at it suspiciously. “Why?”
“I have a…shall we say talent.”
When he made it clear he wasn’t going to elaborate she slowly gave it over. He took it in his own and stood quietly for a few seconds. “You remind me of someone I used to know.” He said suddenly releasing her. “Dominic’s lucky to have you.” He dropped her hand and turned up his collar against the spitting rain. “Till our next meeting Holly Adams.” She blinked and he was gone.
She trudged back up to the lodge going over the weird conversation she had just had. None of it made any sense but there was a calm clarity about him that made her trust him, even though her head was screaming at her to do the opposite. She looked up as she neared to see Caleb with a face full of rage storm out slamming the door after him. “His a fool!” He spat at her. “I’m warning you now Holly don’t trust Legion for a second; he’s as slippery as his brother!” Caleb raised his voice knowing Dom could hear him, then got into the blue Ford and sped off into the distance.
Holly entered the lodge to find Dominic downing a beer. “What a dick!” He said tiredly. “Are you okay?”
“I’m great.” She answered with sarcasm clearing up the table. “So much for my dinner plans.”
His voice softened as he came to her caressing her face in the palm of his hands. “I’m sorry; there wasn’t time to phone ahead. I’ll make it up to you I promise.” He kissed her softly and her grip on the plates loosened as she melted into him. “Damn right you will and I know how.” She told him. He grinned when he caught her meaning. He growled with lust, discarding the beer bottle onto the floor and bent her back over the leather sofa. “Wait.” She whispered then slipped out his hands. “I’ll be right back.” She told him with a wink before running upstairs.
She had broken the window rule while she had been with Layla earlier, and had bought a black silk baby doll and matc
hing thong from Victoria’s secret complete with garter belt and stockings with the last of her college money that she had used to travel around the world with the boys, she had insisted on paying her way it wasn’t like she needed the money for college anymore.
She pulled off her sweater and boring jeans and eased into the sexy underwear. She crossed to the full length mirror on the back of the bedroom door while brushing her loose curls. The black lace emphasised her pale skin and she had to admit she felt pretty wonderful. The smooth material rubbed against her seductively; before she lost her nerve she left the bedroom and headed downstairs.
Dominic had dimmed the lights and had started a fire in the old stone fireplace that stood under the plasma TV that was fixed to the wall. He passed her holding a bottle of wine and glanced her way before doing a double take.
“Surprise.” She said nervously chewing on her bottom lip.
“Holy Hell…” His mouth gaped open as the bottle fell from his grip, bits of glass and red liquid flew everywhere but still his dark stare never wavered from her.
“Do you like it, because I can change…?”
“Don’t you dare.” He ordered walking towards her. “You look…” He swallowed hard. She smiled at his stunned silence and bounced down the last few steps right in to his waiting arms.
“Why Mr Prince I do believe your lost for words.” She teased linking her fingers behind his neck. His eyes shone with want. “Why do you torment me?” He whispered before lifting her up. “Because you enjoy it.” She whispered into his ear then nibbled on his lobe playfully wrapping her legs around his waist. Their lips brushed together and she felt a pleasant shiver travel down the length of her spine, her neck arched as his hot lips trailed fire down her throat while he carried her over to the sofa. Dominic slumped down against the leather bringing her with him. “God I need to be in you.” He uttered as she straddled him, they rocked gently while exploring each other, his toned body pressed hard into hers as she sucked on his tongue moaning with delight. Dominic’s hand went south but she drew away easing down his body until she was on her knees in front of him. “You’re going to come first this time.” She teased while undoing his jeans. “Dominic Prince prepare to have your world rocked.”
“God it is already.” He groaned as his member spilled out into her adoring hands. Holly pressed against his thighs forcing him to widen so she could get in between his legs, she played with him gently watching the different emotions play out on his beautiful face. God she loved him, needed him, wanted him. Her passion got the best of her and she started to jerk him while teasing his helmet with the tip of her tongue. His neck arched and he fisted her hair. “God that feels good…” he gasped spurring her on. Her hand tugged at him furiously gathering speed unable to hold back she took him in her mouth and sucked while jerking him from his root. He inhaled deeply and she felt him shudder violently, his grip on her hair tightened and a loud groan escaped his throat. “You’re so big.” She gasped coming up for air. Her own sex was becoming wet and Holly couldn’t resist slipping a hand into her thong and rubbed while taking him back into her mouth, their moans joined together mingling in the air above them as she tasted his pre come, she sucked at his tip drawing it out like a healer did with snake venom. Dominic gripped the leather till his knuckles turned white. “Holly.” He cried as his thick warm semen shot into her mouth, she forced it down her throat having to swallow multiple times while he thrusted in and out hard riding out the orgasm.
“Fuck me…that was amazing.” He said collapsing against the sofa. “You’re a fast learner.” He mused while she gulped down air. The passion still refused to go out in her and she crawled towards him not trusting her legs. “Take me Dom please.”
“Jesus your good. “His gruff tone said admiringly as he rose and rolled up her baby doll. Discarding it on the floor he stood back and took in her body. Her face was flushed with arousal and her clit was slick with desire for him. He pulled her to her feet and his fingers teased her thong aside. “your wet for me.” He mused fingering her opening. She felt the first waves of pleasure rip through her and she clung to him grinding her hips against his hand that entered her with such force she yelped. “Shh,” He soothed. “I haven’t even got going yet princess.” A devilish grin spread across his lust crazed face and her core fluttered with excitement. Dominic grabbed her thigh and forced her left leg around his waist holding it captive while sinking knuckle deep into her. Holly swooned. “Aw yeah…”
He pushed in and out slowly stretching her while she clawed his back moaning with unrivalled pleasure. His mouth sucked her hard nipples in turn soothing the soreness in them. She gasped loudly as he brought her to a climax.
She folded into him and he had to lift her to the sofa. “I want you in every position. I’m going to fuck you until you beg me to stop.” He told her spinning her around and bent her over the leather so that her hands were up against the back of the sofa. She shivered with euphoria as she heard him kick out of his jeans and pull off his sleeveless t shirt while leaving her prone exposed and vulnerable. She loved his dominance over her, she was his to own. His hands groped her needful body and she heard the snap of her thong. “Do you trust me?” He asked suddenly. She nodded quickly.
“Then let me do this.” His hand rubbed her swollen clit then moved round to her bottom. She froze.
“You want me to stop?”
She had never done anal before, but Jo had subscribed to this magazine called Teenage fantasies, and had read a horrified Holly stories of anal sex gone wrong, but she trusted Dominic completely he would never hurt her and he wanted this…
“Don’t stop.” She finally said.
Her rubbed her juices into her bottom then held her waist while he fingered it gently. “Ah…”
“Relax Holly. I promise I won’t hurt you.” His other hand slipped from her waist and entered her slit which made her tight muscles thaw, his finger slipped further into her bum and she squirmed against the double penetration, her body felt like it was in the hands of a god, Dominic was forceful yet gentle at the same time, she was dying for the next orgasm. “Aw Holly you’re so tight.” He groaned. Her body shook as his expert touch made her come.
“I can’t wait any longer.”
She screamed as his hard cock entered her soaking opening. “Take me Holly.” He instructed gripping her hips pumping into her hard and fast, she felt her slit widening as he pushed all the way into her. “Fuck.” She panted clenching the leather enjoying the devastating mix of pain and pleasure he filled her with. The emotion that took her when he was inside enjoying her, was addictive and she grinded her hips against him squeezing his cock. “Yes…Holly…That’s it…God…”He called out as she felt him thrust deep in her once…twice a third time then came the warm injection of his semen deep inside her. She heard his laboured breathing as he slowly pulled out. Holly marvelled at the sensation of his come dripping onto her thigh as he withdrew completely.
He collapsed onto the sofa pulling her with him, his flushed face and messy hair drove her wild as she ran her fingers through it rubbing her swollen clit.
“You’ll be the death of me.” He said watching her masturbate. “Your insatiable Holly.”
“I am for you.” She told him biting down on her bottom lip when his own hand joined in rubbing her throbbing slit. She was so full of him that a few spots dropped onto the leather.
“God that’s hot.” He said breathlessly. Dominic rolled her on her back and held up her legs.
“Really? Again? You just came a few seconds ago, you can’t…”
“I’m the Prince of Hell Holly I’d could go all night.”
He seemed to change his mind regarding the position to take her in and scooped her up, depositing her on the rug in front of the roaring fire instead. He laid down on his side behind her and lifted her top leg, his rock hard cock entered her while they spooned, his hand moved underneath to fondle her breast while the other played with her clit. He thrusted with short ca
lm thrusts but she came in seconds. Dominic came noisily fifteen minutes later.
They lay there huddled together watching the flames flicker totally exhausted but blissfully happy.
“What did Legion say to you?” He asked distractedly stroking her stockings. She cuddled further into him. “Nothing much, it was rather bizarre, he told me that he didn’t want to play second fiddle to your father again.”
“He always has craved power. Was that it?”
“He…held my hand.” She said perplexed.
Dominic stopped his idle stroking and straightened. “He did what?”
“Relax I don’t think it was anything to do with romance, he said he had a…talent.”
“The son of a bitch!” Dom cursed loudly.
Holly perched on her elbows and looked at him. “What?”
“Legion can read people’s emotions by touch. He should never have invaded your privacy like that…”
Holly shrugged. “I’m used to it. I share my inner most feelings with Caleb, remember?”
“That’s different. Caleb’s your Guardian Angel he does it for your safety. Legion just wanted…”
“I thought you trusted him?”
“I do to a point, but I’m still hazy on his reasons to help a girl he has never even met before tonight. It’s not in his nature to be kind.”
“Well I…”Her stomach heaved and she held a hand over her mouth.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m going to throw up…” She raced to her feet and just made it to the kitchen before vomiting violently into the sink.
“Didn’t think sex with me was that repulsive.” Dominic joked joining her.
“That’s not…” She got out before another wave of nausea hit forcing her to throw up again. He held her hair away from her face while she puked then turned on the cold tap washing it down the drain. “You feeling okay?” He asked eyeing her worriedly.
“I’m fine.” She answered. Beside the sudden urge to vomit she felt perfectly healthy.
