"I'm leaving," Bryan jumped to his feet just as the two returned with drinks.

"What? We kinda just got here," Cindy protested weakly but Brayan wasn't having it. He picked up his phone fast, bounced out of the chair like it would swallow him in the next second and grabbed his drink.

"Did you pay for it or he did?" He opened his wallet quickly.

"Don't worry, I got it," Cyrus said, just about to sit beside me when Bryan flung a twenty dollar bill his way, not caring where it landed, he grabbed Cindy and pulled her off.

"H-Hey!" she tried to resist but he wasn't having it. I watched him drag her across the mall, heading outside the doors.

"It was actually thirty but okay," Cyrus glanced at me, the glare easing off his eyes as he took a seat. "What did you do to piss him off?"

"Nothing," I grabbed my drink and took a sip, enjoying the delicious creamy flavor and trying to put behind Bryan's attitude. He'd come around sooner than later. He always had mood swings every once in a

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   55. CROSS

    CROSSMom had her hand on her waist, dad's arms were folded and Elena's been sent to her room by the time we stepped down– more like mom ordered us to bring our asses down.Jeez! She literally barged in on me straddling Cyrus, his hand on my butt and under my shirt. There was no manipulating what she sawI straightened my back and lifted my head, trying to put a brave front and brace myself for the conversation. Cyrus was quiet by my side, grabbing his thigh like he restrained himself from grabbing onto my hand-“Damian?” Dad's firm no-nonsense voice stole my breath and my heart jolted.Shit! I've seen this a lot on the Internet, I just didn't realize it'd happen to me. Part of officially dating Cyrus was that sooner than later, we'd have to mention this to our family and friends.Luckily for him, his mom was rooting for us. Mine? Jeez! I couldn't shake off the shock on her face back there.“Care to explain what happened upstairs?” He asked, at least he was going to hear me out, befor

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   54. CYRUS

    CYRUSAs soon as the words left my mouth, he was cupping my face, taking the lead. For the first time in my life, I leaned into someone else that wasn't my family and it felt good. So good.We really should keep our distance, but if we should, why did he taste so sweet? Why did he come apart easily in my arms? Why was it easier to breathe in his space? Why did my heart feel better and more alive? Why did his legs wrapped around my waist feel like the perfect place they should be?His arms around my neck, mine on his waist holding him steady as I walked to his bed, kissing him. The unsaid hunger between us fueled the forbidden passion. I was getting more attached and so was he.Would we have even survived staying apart for so long? Pretty sure I'd have caved and found myself in his bedroom the next morning. Cross, on the other hand-- I used to think he wouldn't care less.I was wonderfully mistaken. He wanted me nearly as much as I wanted him. It could never measure up to how much I de

    CROSS Sofia: I swear I felt something last night. I don't know what it was, but dad was so uneasy.I stared at her text, chewing the corner of my thumb debating whether or not to tell her about my ordeal last night. I didn't want her to freak out, but at the same time, I felt like I'd burst with the information.Something like what? I sent back, choosing to play dumb instead.The experience felt surreal, I just needed to tell someone who'd understand and maybe... Have answers… like say if a demon God and a mate can like be toge–Shit. I caught myself thinking in that direction again and I locked my phone screen, not before seeing her next text.Sofia: I dunno. It was only for a moment before it disappeared. I hope it's not what I think.Me: I see.Sofia: You okay? You're texting weird. What's up?'It was weird knowing someone who could 'read' my mood through my text.Not now. I didn't want to talk about it-- I didn't even want to think about it. I turned my neck to the window, watchi

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   52. CYRUS

    CYRUS I rinsed the soapy dish under the running tap, handing it to my mom as she wiped it off with a hand cloth and placed it in the rack. She hummed as she carried out her chore, a smile plastered on her face. I'd just had dinner at her place. We ate like humans knowing fully well we weren't, but it seemed nice to feel like a family once in a while. She was obsessed with anything that would give ‘quality time’ with her kids. She still didn't know about Lilith and Seth yet. While I'd debated whether or not to tell her, she mentioned Lucian stopping by to say hello and he zoomed off without another word. That was my cue to shut the hell up. I didn't say anything, just acted like everything was fine and I didn't just experience the greatest trauma in my whole life. A part of me– a very large part wanted to break down and cry in her arms. I still trembled just remembering what happened, but if I laid it all on her, what would she do? Her life was sad enough. I couldn't possibly add

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   51. CROSS

    CROSSI knew I was still alive when I suddenly became aware of the pain. Yeesh! I took it too far yesterday. Not that I regretted any of it. I'd do it again and again I'd say it over and over again. No remorse here, but I did take it too far.What did I mean by 'take from me. I can take it'? Oh my God! Needless to say, I woke up with secondhand embarrassment. How the heck do I face him this morning?Everywhere hurts. And one place that shouldn't feel like it's gaping open, actually feels that way.After I'd said those words, Cyrus went feral. I swear, I was this close to worrying whether it was truly him or Lust. He was out of it-- but then again, I don't exactly remember any promises of him taking it gentle with me.He was always out to prove why he was a god in the bedroom and why the girls at school won't stop throwing themselves at him.Too late now, I think.Setting the thought aside, last night's back and forth rushed back to me. How I managed to sleep at all was shocking. Thank

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   50. CYRUS

    CYRUSI recognized sexual energy anywhere. After all, it was the fastest way I could build up my strength. It was my daily bread and what I considered food. There were other means of lust, but humans had long termed sexual acts as forbidden and so whenever they acted on it, lust jubilated and made merry.They've always tasted the same in different ways. Like colours but red, pink, or purple. Nothing out of the ordinary.Now why did this feel like I was having a whole feast? It wasn't just colours, it was something else; a whole rainbow, an upgrade, like I consumed a thousand souls.Fuck.Soft hands ran over my abs, sending a thrill, a mesmerizing one. I was getting addicted fast. My heart beating with more meaning, passion and power.Sweet rosy sensation flooded my senses. Everywhere he touched lighted up quickly.I must have summoned an incubus of something. Dammit! Guilt stabbed my chest. Cross would hate me if he found out. But I couldn't do this to him. It would be too much for hi

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   49. CYRUS

    CYRUS I've always been afraid of the dark. Not because of what lurked out there, but what I housed inside me.Carrying a whole sin and one as strong as lust wasn't exactly easy. I feared the day he would burst out and shut me out, leaving me to drown in the darkness-- the void.What would happen to me? I wondered where I'd float.To nothingness, I hoped. Like my whole existence erased, wiped out like I wasn't even there.That was better than the feeling of being stuck somewhere, the feeling of falling into the void and never letting up.Something warm wrapped around me and I felt a slight tug in my chest. The kind I always felt when Cross looked at me a certain way, or smiled these days.Shit! Something's wrong with me, for sure.But right now, I felt his presence. It was subtle but it was there. It felt warm on my face like the ray of sun on a Saturday morning back at Mom's place. I could hear her humming through the thin walls-- other times, her cries of being abandoned by a mate a

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   48. CROSS

    CROSS I was falling fast. The world around me was spinning and waiting for my blood to spill. The air felt too thick for me to produce a single sound. The world twisted around me. The height from which the tentacle dropped me could cause anyone a heart attack, yet I suffered the torture of watching myself go down, watching myself die. The only thing in front of me was Valkar. The cursed agent of hell watched me without an atom of care, his head held high in dignity like he had done an honorary deed. My vision blurred, I couldn't even cry. My head spun. I sank further, waiting for the hard thud of the ground against my back, waiting for death's open arms to usher me into hell. "I'm gonna get you out of here." His words breezed past my thoughts with his shaky voice and that fearsome look in his eyes. They were empty promises. Not because he didn't mean it, but because he stood no chance against them. I knew it. He knew it too. Fuck. I knew I shouldn't, but with all the last stre

  • Lust and Loyalty (MM)   47. CYRUS

    CYRUSMy hands trembled as I glanced at the heads of my siblings. The tentacles reached for them, dragging them back into the Earth and pulling along their lifeless bodies. Hell had no respect for its own people, this much shouldn't be a surprise. This wasn't grandfather's orders. Judging from the surge of power I just got, this was Valkar doing his own wish."H-He- killed them. Oh my God! Oh my God!" Cross gasped, struggling to breathe behind me. "Oh God! Oh God!" Anyone who stood against grandfather had themselves to blame. It didn't matter if they were his own grandchildren. We were not special to anyone. But I wasn't going to let them take my one special person away from me. Cross could barely even breathe behind me and I was in no position to say anything comforting. Heck, I needed it too! "Now that we've gotten rid of those small fries," Valkar smirked, still levitating as though the Earth was unworthy of him. "Let's get right into it."Small fries? I gulped. Shit. He wasn't
