Abby and I were both panting for breath there in the middle of our walk-in closet after intense lovemaking, my heartbeat so loud that it pounded in my ears, I almost missed the signal that Hex was about to show up.
I slammed the door shut quickly, startling Abby, only a second later to hear Hex clear his throat on the other side of the door. Abby groaned and slumped her shoulders before turning to face me, her face full of color that made the corner of my lip twitch into a grin.
“We need to talk to him about boundaries,” she put her finger at the center of my chest, meaning by ‘we’ she meant ‘me’. She hated knowing Hex was able to get inside her head, she said it was a violation of privacy, I only laughed.
“Here,” I grabbed a big t-shirt of mine for her to wear because she loved wearing my clothes and a pair of sweats for me before opening the door.
I s
“How much time do we have?” I asked Kora as she enlightened me on the news of the imminent battle of the gods over the possession of my soul.Damien was spending more time working with Lucifer over something that we agreed he shouldn’t share with me because I won’t like it, but I secretly knew exactly what was going on, thanks to Kora.“Not much,” she was looking at one of the roses I had grown in the garden I created in Damien and my house. “You are doing well,” she said, referring to the practicing of my earth powers the last two days.“It’s not enough, though,” I mumbled as I fiddled my fingers nervously.“You’re just not incorporating your abilities enough.”“What do you mean?” I practice each ability to strengthen it, I’ve never tried two together and I wouldn’t even k
“Keeping others from using your powers,” she said.“Wait, what? That can happen?”Kora smiled before explaining, “You can use others' powers simply by getting into their head and harnessing them for yourself, but others can do the same to you, so you need to learn to block others from getting inside your head.”Damien chimed in, “It’s what I did that day at the lake,” I looked at him questioningly, “I told you that Hex read your mind and that’s how I knew that I needed to enter your dreams.”I remembered what I thought was a staring contest as his idea of proof that he was a demon, then the next day he told me that he used the help from his minion Hex to read my mind. I hadn’t put it together that Damien didn’t have that ability, but Hex never appeared.“So, what, you summon their consciousn

I headed to Lucifer’s mansion first to tell him what happened in the jail. He was sitting on his throne and had one foot over the opposite knee, his chin resting in his right hand. He wore a tan suit and his signature leather shoes now after our sparring session earlier, very Ronald Raegan style, only that he had the curly beard and hair draped over it.“Good, good,” he said in reply to me, “You will have to visit him every day now, you know.”“If it buys Abby more time then I am happy to oblige.” I didn’t want to spend so much time with her father, and the only kind of torture that I could do was the mental kind, that was the boring stuff, I wanted to burn the man alive and tear him to shreds for offering his daughters soul to the devil.“No one else can know, not even Kora,” I told him and he narrowed his eyes at me in question, “Abby can’t know th
*Mature Content*Damien and I were having fun with our playful back and forth with the music and dancing when he snapped his fingers and all our clothes disappeared. I laughed because it’s what I wanted him to do, I figured Damien is smart, and playing the song ‘Tonight (I’m Fucking You)’ along with grinding up all over him would give him the right idea.I turned around to face Damien and wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him and he pulled on the back of my thighs so that my legs would wrap around his waist.He turned us around and placed me gently on the counter, letting his hands wander my legs and hips caressing them as we parted our lips and began exploring each other’s mouths.My hands went to the nape of his neck, one hand going into his hair, the other slowly feeling its way down his strong shoulders and bulging muscles, they were like mountains o
Abby and I spent our night lying in bed after more intense lovemaking, she had her body draped over me as I ran my finger lightly up and down her spine. She was looking away from me as her cheek was laying on my chest but I could feel that she had a smile on her face when she asked me, “Are you sure this isn’t Heaven?” In a dreamy voice.I gulped and clenched my jaw before responding to her, “I’m sure,” there was pain in my voice and a small frown on my brows. Abby nuzzled herself even closer to me, putting one of her legs between mine and her arm across my torso before she sighed in contentment and fell asleep.I spent the night staring at the ceiling mostly, now and then peeking down to see her peaceful figure asleep on me. I was listening to her easy breathing and her steady heartbeat. The thought that there was a possibility of that heartbeat stopping and those lungs not working sent my mind to run a m
How much do I tell him? He’s just standing there and staring at me, I can’t stay pacing like this for too long, I need to say something! The weather is changing based on my mood, too, and I don’t want him to see what happens when I get frustrated here. Not yet. ‘Come on, Abby, you can come up with words!’“I was hidden from a lot of things in my life growing up, and now I have a chance to be a part of something huge, and you want to take it from me…” Ouch, that may have been a bit too harsh, I need to come up with something else, “You once said that you would never make me do something that I didn’t want to do… well, I don’t want to hide.”Damien pinched his lips together but when he finally spoke, his words came out softly. “I’m just trying to look out for you.”“Thank you,” I offered in a gentle tone, “bu
Authors Note: *This chapter contains some content suggesting suicide and may trigger some readers, discretion is advised*After Abby left to train with Kora, I paid another visit to Luci, who seemed far less than thrilled to see me again. I found him walking the same way as I was in the hallway outside of Kora’s greenroom, he probably just bid her farewell as she left to train Abby some more.He heard my footsteps and turned to me, “If you won’t help me hide her, then at least help me give her more time,” I was begging now and I didn’t even care, I just wanted to save Abby.I was going to ask Lucifer for more mock battles, each time with more and more people. We had no idea just how many souls would be fighting for her on the other side and needed to be prepared for anything. It could be a hundred or it could be a hundred thousand, there are countless souls in the heavens, who knows how many
