Samael stood on the other side, dressed entirely in black. A black tight sweater with long sleeves, black pants and heavy boots. No crown, no Wrath jewels, nothing to indicate he was the king.But he didn't need that. It was very, very clear he was the king here. There was almost a sort of aura around him, one that exuded danger and power. One that I didn't want to be near at all.As I entered, Samael looked up, his gaze fixed on my Lara Croft outfit.Fuck. I felt nervous.The demons remained motionless, the only sound being the crackling of the fire. Despite not being close to it, I could still feel the heat emanating from the flames. Samael nodded towards his side, indicating for me to come. Slowly, I made my way around the circle of demons towards their king.I walked behind demons and had a feeling they didn't like someone so close to their back, even if I was a human. One wrong move or look and Samael would deal with them. They had to ignore their instincts to attack whoever got
"Us demons are all the same, wildflower." Sam said, looking back at me over his shoulder. "He knew exactly what he did wrong.""Now. Jump up. We are very generous in the head start we are giving him." Sam ordered and I looked at his back. He was so tall.Placing my hands on his shoulder, I awkwardly jumped up and he caught my legs with his steel arms. I locked my feet at his stomach and wrapped my arms around his neck. He held onto my legs while I rested my head beside his. My heart continued to race, and I was certain he could feel its frantic rhythm, pumping blood rapidly through my body."You smell nice. Very nice." Samael abruptly said. Saying I was surprised was a heavy understatement, but a single compliment wasn't going to make me swoon. "I know." I responded, tightening my arms and legs around him.I didn't like this closeness between us. I would never accept a guy this close to me after being so rude to me like he was."I meant your blood, flower. The blood that I will be dri
We reached the first demon shortly afterward. As soon as he spotted us, panic spread across his face when he realized it was Satan coming for him. Sam effortlessly pulled him down from the tree, checked his neck, and swiftly snapped it, all while I remained on his back.The next one was still running, trying to escape. Sam easily outran him, first snapping his knee to stop him from running and then checked his neck again. Another red stripe. First he broke the other knee, then he kicked his head so hard that it half exploded.The third one was hiding in a cave underground. I didn't see him, but Samael said he heard him. Heard him hiding. And smelt the vile smell of him from miles. There were more hiding in here, he said."Some think they can get away." Sam said when he entered the cramped cave. It was too small for me to remain on his back, so I slid off and stayed right behind him. "Have you ever had any escapees?" I asked when I slid closer to Samael, the cave being too dark for me
Multiple footsteps were suddenly right behind me and I looked behind my shoulder to see multiple pairs of red eyes coming my way. Terror struck me. Without thinking, I sprinted through the darkness, but a hand made contact with my back, causing me to let out a piercing scream. I stumbled and fell hard, banging my head, but I ignored the pain, pushed myself up, and continued running.Suddenly, Sam's roar reverberated through the air. Just as another hand grazed my exposed back, I screamed once more.All movement behind me disappeared. "Get her, Wruy!" Sam's voice boomed, and then a firm grip seized my arm, pulling me backwards. I kicked whoever it was and heard Wruy grunt out. "Fuck me. You're strong for a human." Wruy complained, keeping his hand on my arm. Another hand touched my other side, and I yelped away again, right in the body of Wruy.Whoever was touching me disappeared also.There was so much sound of fighting, pain and cracking bones that all my brain could give me was pani
"What does that mean?" I asked, my head swimming.A mischievous smirk adorned his face as he replied, "Oh, my sweet wildflower, we are going to have a very interesting night." He said, his tone filled with secrecy.I could feel my eyes growing heavy as I questioned, "Why?" My voice came out small and uncertain."You're getting high. I did take too much, since this is your first time. Fuck. I'm the first ever to bite you and take your blood. That means your body will adapt to mine. Right now, my saliva is coursing through your veins and your body will see it as something stronger. It will try to keep it, to strengthen itself. Your body will recognize that to get more saliva, it needs to provide blood in return. It will happily do that. Your body is working very hard to adapt to my needs, and my needs only. It's basing everything entirely on my saliva alone. And you're getting high. In a few hours, you'll be craving more." Sam explained in detail, still walking out with me.He did what
My mind was completely empty for 10 seconds.I kept staring at the door with no thoughts in my brain. Nothing.Eventually, I lowered my arm, and slowly, all the events of the day came rushing back to me. The weight of everything hit me like a tidal wave, and I turned back towards the bathroom, feeling the urge to vomit once again. But when I walked into the bathroom, I refused to throw up. I needed to keep the food inside me, no matter how overwhelming the situation was.Fuck, man. I had cut him. There was a spy here. Samael just killed 35 demons as easy as cutting pie, and I didn't even see a scratch on him—well, except for the one I inflicted.I had never hurt somebody on purpose. But now I used a weapon on someone. Of course, he did call me a whore, but still...And he bit me and drank my blood. Like a vampire."Fay!" Samael's voice boomed from his bedroom.I snapped my head back at the door and stuck my tongue out at it.Finally ridding myself of the tight leather shorts, I let th
I groaned and closed my eyes as a wave of strange sensations washed over me. My mouth was dry, my head ached, and my fingers began to tingle. Samael smirked at me, then turned and walked toward his alcohol cabinet, retrieving the bottle of wine I had opened earlier. He glanced at it with a sigh, but ultimately pointed at my glass.In response, I quickly finished the remaining wine, handed him my glass, and rubbed the back of my neck. The heat coursing through me was unbearable."How's the high?" He asked whilst he filled my glass of wine up. "There is no high." I said back in a snappy tone.Unexpectedly, he leaned down and placed his cool hand on my burning leg.I almost moaned.I always hated the cold. Hated rain, winter, cold mornings, cold showers, anything icy. I didn't even like my water cold. My drinks were always ordered without ice and I preferred hot wine over cold wine.But his hand, that felt like heaven.Samael's knowing smirk indicated that he was well aware of the effect
I woke up from a sore neck. Groaning awake, I stretched out my body to find a cool body next to mine. Looking to the side, I shocked awake when I found Samael looking straight at me. With his hand flat on my stomach."What's going on?" I asked, worried that something was wrong. "I need some blood." Sam responded, his eyes already on my neck. "No, Sam, what the hell? You took enough." I protested with a sigh. "But I want more. I've never felt like this before." He insisted, pulling me closer. His eyes were bright and alert and his arms around me were strong. Instinctively, I raised my knee to protect myself.I was naked. In bed with Satan. Shit."I need to pee." I blurted out and luckily, that made him let me go.Grabbing my bathrobe and pulling it around me, I quickly walked into his bathroom. Which was about five times the size of mine.My feet stopped moving when I looked into the mirror."Oh my God." I whispered in shock. My neck was covered in black and blue bruises and puncture w
