“You’re going to come and then go to fucking sleep,” he orders in a guttural tone, his hips snapping and rubbing against my ass. I come first, my head pushing against his shoulder as I moan and cover his hand in my release. He tortures me by continuing to jerk me off while reaching his own release.
I’m about to beg him to stop, that it’s too much, when his warm seed spreads down my thighs. He groans in my ear, sliding out of my legs but still keeps a hand on my hip.
“No more negative thoughts,” he says plainly.
I nod, getting up to get cleaned up. His hand grips me harder, and he shakes his head.
“You’ll sleep like that,” he commands. I look down at the combined mess of us, and when he gives me a heated look, I know there’s no arguing.
I go to sleep, covered in cum and feeling cherished.
Chapter26
I’ve studied war since the day I was born.
My purpose in both of my existences has been to be a soldier. Although I can’t help but think this is the most fear I’ve felt gearing up for a battle.
Which is ironic, considering I died at the other end of an enemy’s sword.
This war feels different.
While religion might be one of the greatest catalysts for a feud, that truly isn’t the case here. It’s not about what you believe to be true, it’s what you believe is right.
In the words of Bertrand Russell, “War does not determine who is right—only who is left.”
The angels believe they are the highest order, and demons believe free will reigns over all. I know that there will never be an agreement between the two, only hatred. This is only one of many battles, wars, between our realms. It’s only a matter of the time between each feud.
This time feels different from all the rest, though.
Mara.She’s what makes it different; she’s tipping the scales.
Her presence both sickens and elates me, and I don’t know why. That’s a lie. I know why. I want the little demon to be mine, and she refuses. I’m not even sure she likes me that much. She seems so happy with Elvor and Judd.
Part of me wants to kill them so she’ll only have me. But then the thought of taking away her happiness makes me stop that train of thinking.
She calls to me like a beacon, one I can’t stay away from long, even if all she gives me are sarcastic crumbs to live off of.
We were gearing up, strapping ourselves with weapons, and preparing ourselves for what is about to happen when I received word that multiple angels who live on Earth have suddenly stopped visiting their local haunts. That can only mean one thing: they’re gearing up to meet with us on the battlefield.
Everyone is wearing black. Mara chose some tight black leggings and a short-sleeve black t-shirt. She has a tight chest holder that showcases all of her weapons. The blades glisten against her hip and across her chest. She looks like devastation and perfection, all wrapped into one.
She’s humming a song and doing little dance moves as we wait for everyone else who is coming to get here.
Elvor stands as still as a statue and looks around the room, while Judd looks like he wants to shit himself. All four of us have our own weapons that can kill an angel and demon alike. Most of the demons coming along aren’t as lucky. Their only defenses are normal weapons that can do physical damage and any gifts they have been blessed with.
There’s no knowing how many magical weapons Heaven has. We’ll have to assess that once we get there, but the main advantage we have is that many angels do not have additional gifts. Angels have to ascend and be blessed with additional gifts by God, and she definitely hasn’t been feeling very giving since she left.
I’m not worried about our numbers, even if it’s ten to one; I’m worried about the weapons they may have.
Once the additional two dozen demons funnel into the room, Lucifer enters, commanding the room into complete silence.
“You will be going to the fae realm. All angels should be killed on sight. Toth, Elvor, Judd, and Mara all have weapons that can end an angel completely. We’re at war, and we need to make this first hit hurt,” he pauses before continuing his speech. “Your bravery and eagerness will be rewarded. Please me, and your life in Hell will get infinitely better.”
Lucifer receives nods from everyone in the room. I watch as he touches Mara’s shoulder and leans in to whisper something in her ear before leaving. She smirks but doesn’t smile fully, and my curiosity has the better of me. I shove it down, now is not the moment to let Mara fuck with my head. I need to stay focused, I need to be prepared. I know that if I let my guard down when it comes to her, we could all be completely fucked.
“We’re not there to kill fae, but I’m not opposed. We don’t know when angels will be onsite. We’re portalling there now so that we’re prepared. Any treason lands you an eternity in the pit. Failure to impress me on the field will earn you your removal from my team. Don’t disappoint me,” I announce, and I don’t know why, but I look at Mara when I say it.
Her eyes flash so fast I can’t pick up the color. She doesn’t reply as I hold out my hand, creating a chain reaction so I can portal all of these demons exactly where I want them. My gift might not be as versatile as others, but it’s powerful nonetheless; most don’t even know the extent of my full abilities when it comes to teleporting myself and others.
