Lucian and Arabella Adora
Chapter 30‘To understand a God, one must be a God.’ Gabriel repeated the mantra over and over as he guarded the gates between the heavens and Paradise. Only a few tried him today. On a good day, at least two dozen fought for entrance.Most who ended up in Paradise realized that it was only a staging area before they went on to worlds they earned, or were condemned to, while on earth. Maybe it was because they could look over the edge and see Hell clearly was what caused the poor souls so much distress. Gabriel shook his head but gladly rose to the challenge when another such patron decided to try his patience. Everyone was afraid of Hell.The hours here were endless. Time ceased to have meaning on this plane of existence. It could have been hours or weeks that he saw Arabella last. His whole being cried out for the beautiful and alluring woman. Never in all his life times had such a creature captured his imagination so throughly. Here he stood, guarding one of the most important port
Lucian and Arabella Life on Earth
Chapter 31Adora ended up spending a week with Arabella. In some ways, she, Arabella seemed to be lonely and enjoyed the company. As for Adora, she was only too happy to stay with Arabella. It could not have worked out better. Adora wanted to know who this woman was that she could capture the thoughts of her man. Gabriel didn’t know he was her man, but after meeting him centuries past, she had eyes for no one but him. Her stay with Arabella was an eye opener.Arabella, for her part, was happy to have another woman to bond with. She had a few friends, but none were close enough to confide in. She found it easier to talk to a stranger than to someone who knew her.Adora was a strange woman to be sure. She had strange mannerisms that reminded Arabella of old movies she had watched where the women were chaste. Adora did not seem like a chaste woman to Arabella. Still, Arabella enjoyed Adora’s company. It would seem that Adora had traveled over time but had not done so recently. This was he
Lucian and Arabella The Morning After
Chapter 32Adora’s head spun as the alcohol hit her system hard. She grinned at Lucian as Arabella grabbed her arm and led her to a bar stool. Almost sliding off, Adora grabbed Lucian’s arm to steady herself. Giggling, she slapped the bar and ordered a refill.Arabella watched helplessly as Adora took the drink the bartender placed in front of her and swallowed it in one gulp. Arabella never saw someone down a full drink in one gulp before. She was amazed Adora was still up right.As the two women interacted, Lucian watched Arabella closely. That she did not send him on his way right away was a good sign. Arabella did not talk to him again after he left the cabin when they brought her home. He always had high hopes that she would forgive him for whatever trespass he may have caused against her. He was still unsure what that might be.Adora looked at Lucian with bleary eyes and thought to herself, ‘He is almost as beautiful as Gabriel.’ Giggling, she hiccuped and started to slid off he
Lucian and Arabella She is Not Lost
Chapter 33Gabriel stood in front of Fate. He was not afraid of her, exactly; call it more like he was leary of all the women in the realm. “Do you know where Mother is? I would like an audience with her.”Fate stared at Gabriel making Gabriel wonder if she was even going to answer him. Finally, “It is not for you to wonder where she is. If it’s important, I can help you. Otherwise, you will have to wait on Mother and I don’t know when she will be back.”Fate’s voice sounded like bells ringing on a wind chime; sweet on the ears for the first little while but quickly becomes annoying. Right now, for Gabriel, it was annoying. Adora was missing, had been for about three weeks and Gabriel was becoming concerned. He wasn’t sure he wanted to trust Fate. That woman could be vicious if she thought you were wasting time.“Adora of Lost Paradise is missing. I am starting to worry that a demon may have gotten her which leaves her gate open. It would cause a big stir if the gate is left open.” Ga
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel
Chapter 34“Hey, Adora. Where have you been? I’ve looked all over for you.” Gabriel rushed to catch up with Adora as she passed his gate.Adora smiled faintly as she looked down at Gabriel’s hands. “You gonna whack me with that, Gabriel?”Gabriel’s gaze followed Adora’s. In his hands, he still held the Sword of Truth. He forgot to put it down when Adora walked by. He rushed back to the gate after raising one finger to tell Adora to wait for him. She did not. Adora continued walking to her quarters. Gabriel had to rush just to keep up with the woman.Adora sighed when Gabriel caught up. She did not want to lie to him, but Mother forbade her to tell anyone. For all of It’s purity, jealously was one emotion that The Realm had in common with earth. For centuries Mother tried to weed it out, but it was stubborn and would not go. There were a few that was jealous of Mother’s affection for Arabella. All Adora could do was tell Gabriel a partial truth.“I’ve been busy doing Mother’s bidding. Y
Lucian and Arabella Feel So Right
Chapter 35Arabella stared into Gabriels eyes. Adora coughed to remind the two that they were not alone. She glared at Gabriel when he glanced at her and grinned. “I think Gabriel was just leaving.”Suprised, Arabella looked at Adora. In the short time she had know Adore, never had she been rude to anyone. Now here she was being rude to this wonderful hunk of a man.“Oh, no, I don’t have to leave. Matter of fact, I’ll stay around and walk you both back to your vehicles.”“We take an Uber to get us home, Gabriel. No need for you to go out of your way for us.” Again, Adora was rude. Arabella could only shake her head. Maybe the two weren’t that good of friends.“Better still, Adora. I’ll drive you home.” Gabriel was back to looking at Arabella. At the cabin, they had no problem communicating, yet now, he could not think of a thing to say to her. He dreamed of this moment so many times and now that it was here, Gabriel remained tongue tied.Arabella looked at Adora, trying to figure out w
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel’s Picnic
Chapter 36Arabella was in the kitchen making tea when the knock came ot her door. She knew it could not be Adora as that one took off early to hike up to the falls and take pictures. She wanted to portray the falls through the day to see the different shadows and lines. Arabella begged off a hike; she just wanted to sit back and enjoy her tea. She was surprised to find Gabriel at her door.He looked at her with a sheepish grin and looked down toward his feet. She looked to where Gabriels eyes strayed and there, at their feet, stood a picnic basket. Arabella looked back up into Gabriel’s eyes. The God’s help her, she could fall into those beautiful eyes and die happy. Arabella jerked her head to banish her thoughts.She looked at Gabriel and could swear the man was laughing at her. His eyes seemed to twinkle. “Adora’s not here, Gabriel. She is off hiking somewhere and our mountains don’t really work well with cell phones, so I can’t call her.” “It’s not Adora I am looking for fair la
Lucian and Arabella Triangle
Chapter 37Lucian stared at the couple in their cozy little picnic. Anger stirred in his breast when he saw the smirk on Gabriels face. The man looked pretty smug from where Lucian was standing. Arabella looked at Lucian in surprise and a little anger herself.“You know, Lucian, when someone doesn’t answer a knock at the door that usually means one of two things. One, they are not at home and two, they do not wish to be bothered. Now, which one do you think applies here?”Arabella’s reprimand Lucian who became red in the face until the tip of his ears looked like they could catch fire. He threw her mail down on the table with no regard for the food that sat there. Anger rose but Lucian kept his voice level.“There’s your mail, Arabella. I suggest you notify the mail office that your address is not at Jack’s home.” Lucian kept his cool but inside, he was seething. Marcus had not been able to find out anything about this guy, it was as if he was a ghost. It just did not sit well with Luc
