Sam swam to the shore with me in his arms, joining the three soaking wet demons. He walked out the water with me still attached to him like a monkey, and my suddenly super heavy body was impossible to hold up. All my organs dropped down when he walked out, but he held his arms around me like I weighed nothing, his expression never changing. The cold air kissed my goose-bump covered skin, and a mean chill ran through me. Winter was in the air. The frozen nights were close. "Hey, Satan," I inquired with interest, "Isn't your realm supposed to be like... Hell? Like, really hot? Why does it feel like it's going to freeze tonight?" Adrian let out a full blown blasting laugh. Sam slowly let me down, and we both turned to Adrian, who slapped his knee hard. "What?" I asked, dumbfounded. Adrian shook his head, still laughing. "I fucking love humans." "No. That's something humans made up in their fantasies." Sam answered me with narrowed eyes at his brother. "Although," Adrian interven
"Are you sure about this?" Adrian asked hesitantly. I stared down at the bathtub, which Sam was currently filling. He was kneeling down next to me, his hand underneath the water stream, checking its temperature. He even put a little bit of bath oil in, smelling of caramel. Not even a flower scent, funnily enough. The five of us stood cramped in the small bathroom of my bedroom. Well, not my bedroom anymore, according to Sam. But an empty bedroom nonetheless, where no one would interrupt us. Sleep was threatening to take me at any second. We had stayed up all night, and the sun was slowly rising behind the closed curtains. The whole castle was still asleep, you could practically feel the hangovers in the air. The dark one stood in the corner, his figure completely out of touch with the rest of us. Elle ensured she stayed as far away from him as possible, yet she remained glued to my side. Sam held onto my naked lower leg with his other hand as he kept feeling the temperature of t
"Hold her down. Or else, it's not going to work." The dark one hissed at Samael. Samael put his arm back into the bathtub. With tears in my eyes, I watched as Fay began to fight. My nails dug into Adrian's arm, who held me back with one arm around my shoulders. "Stop." I whispered with a shaky voice at Samael's rigid back. He tensed up more. "She's going to die." I said as a tear escaped my eye. For a moment, Samael's appearance morphed into that of Satan, but he quickly regained control, although more tense than before. His eyes remained fixed on my best friend, who was fighting for her life in the bath. She trashed and thrashed, and water splashed everywhere. It was a wonder there was still enough in the bath to drown her. To drown her. Sammi was going to drown her. The dark one next to Samael looked absolutely delighted. His eyes were gleaming with glee as he stared down into the bathtub, ignoring the splatters of water that hit him in the face. Panic constricted my heart
"What the actual fuck?"A female voice startled me awake, and I found myself sprawled in a field of grass. The sun's warmth enveloped me, soothing my skin with its gentle heat. The grass beneath me wasn't prickly, but soft instead, and I stretched my arms out, relishing the comforting sensation."What are you doing here?"Annoyance simmered within me. I finally had a moment of peace and quiet."Anna, can you shut up and let me-"My words trailed off when I realised what I said.My eyes flew open.Standing by my feet, clad in a yellow summer dress, was Anna. She stared down at me, alive and well. "What the fuck? What are you doing here?" I asked with shock. She was supposed to be dead."I could ask you the same thing." Anna replied, as if she really couldn't believe I was here. Looking around me to actually check where 'here' was, I realised I didn't recognize this place. "What are you doing in the demon realm?" Anna asked when a frown settled on my face. I had no recollection of comin
"She's meant to return tonight, right? 24 hours was the deal?" I heard Adrian ask softly. "Yes." Sam affirmed, his voice directed at me. "What are you going to do? Your wife will be with child." Adrian asked next. "I don't know. I don't really care." Sam replied solemnly. Adrian sighed. "She will be fine, brother." "She was dead." Sam sharply said. "Was. She IS alive." Elle quickly interjected. I heard Sam sigh. "Will you help me? With what I've asked?" "Of course." Elle replied. I frowned. Sam asked Elle for help with something? "As soon as possible. After Micah's funeral." Sam directed at her. I stirred. Micah! Micah's will! "I'm going to get some food. Do you want anything, brother?" Adrian asked, before I heard the unmistakable sound of someone stretching. "I would love some fresh OJ." I croaked hoarsely. I felt the energy in the room shift to shock. My eyes opened just in time to see Sam literally jumping at me from the end of the bed. "You're awake!" He shouted with a
His words gained meaning when he pushed his body into mine. My body exploded with fire. "But I can't. You're too weak. You need to heal first." He asserted firmly. "I feel fine." I lightly replied. Sam's grin near my ear only fueled my warmth, and I wasn't even embarrassed to say that I was a thirsty bitch. I needed to forget everything about me. "You died a few hours ago, Fay. If you say you're fine one more time, I will..." Sam warned in a low murmur, his weight still pressing into me. "You will what?" I challenged as my hands roamed his bare chest. His skin was cool and firm, and the few scars that stood out on his skin felt rugged. His scars made him even more attractive. They felt like prizes on a trophy. "Well, I don't actually know." Sam sighed out, "I don't know how to punish you. It seems like an impossible task, because you either enjoy it, or fight everything that I do." Grinning against his neck, I felt Sam tense against me. His thumb slid over the soft skin of my nak
Happiness surged through me as I glanced at the closed door, unable to contain the smile spreading across my lips. The warmth lingering in my body only fueled my anticipation for tonight's plans. Perhaps a shave wouldn't be a bad idea. I could wear one of the lingerie sets to surprise Sam. With newfound energy coursing through me, I leaped from the bed and practically dashed to the bathroom. Yanking on the shower handle, I set the water to hot and wasted no time slipping underneath the searing stream. I washed my hair and kept the conditioner in as long as I could while shaving everything that needed to be shaved. Once I was done, I felt like a brand new person. The cabinet in the bathroom contained all my favourite products. Sam had moved everything from my small bathroom into his, and I grabbed my favourite body oil with a small smile. The black room was steamy, and the dark red towel fit around my body snugly. I placed one foot on the edge of the bathtub and I carefully oiled
My fist lashed out instinctively, connecting with his ugly head. His head snapped back, but he quickly regained his posture and bared his teeth at me. I didn't care. My fist flew out again. I didn't have time to process his expressions or contemplate my actions; I just kept striking. My feet joined my fists, and I managed to kick him against his knees. A chilling sound escaped him as he stumbled, and he grabbed my hair with one fist and yanked on it so hard, my head smacked against the bathroom wall. The impact momentarily blinded me, but I gritted my teeth and snapped my head forward to hopefully break his nose. A sickening crunch followed, accompanied by a howl of pain, and I followed up with another blow from my elbow. He released my hair, but grabbed my arm instead, and knocked my legs out from under me. My feet slipped on the wet floor, and my body crashed down with a hard whack. My elbow absorbed most of the impact, and I cried out in agony when I felt a blinding pain going t
