His words cut me to the bone, pissed me off, so I snapped. I called on my aura and I was stronger then he must have realized because when I turned, I could see his eyes were wide with shock. He barely got a breath out before I was straddling him and holding his arms above his head. I could feel the intense heat seeping through the pajama bottoms where I wasn't protected by underwear. It felt so good I wanted to push harder. I didn't though and kept my resolve as I stared deep into his eyes. When he realized what was happening he started to struggle in my grip.
"Keep struggling wolf, you're just making the ride more enjoyable." I could feel him growing between my legs and moisture started to appear.
I shook my head trying to keep focused, getting my rocks off wasn't why I was here.
"You want to play being the big bad wolf, that's fine, but I've had it to above 5 feet of your cockiness and little digs. How about I make you beg me to stop?" I grinded hard into him making him and he tried holding back his moan.
"GET OFF ME!" His breathless moan slipped and then he snarled at me. I could feel him trying to call on his own aura to change, but I was throwing mine at him so hard, he never had a chance.
"What? The bad little puppy can't take a woman being in control? How does it feel Cash? Does your mind scream no but your body beg yes?" I was almost at the end, almost empty. I needed to end this quick.
Struggling got easier for him as I was feeling the drain so that was my que to try to finish getting my point across.
"You asked for this, and now you don't want it? Fine. Stop moving and I will get off of you. Understand, there is a reason I was sent to keep you safe. You may be a big bad wolf in your world, but I am Alpha in mine. Let me do my job, play nice, and this won't happen again." I got as close to his face as I could and whispered it. He was beyond angry at this point, his face was burning, I could feel it. His aura was trying everything it could do to fight mine off.
With one last ditch effort I slammed the remaining energy I had into grinding on him and jumped off. The last push pulled a small moan from me and a loud one from him as he rode waves of pleasure and anger. I was drained, and prayed he was too.
"You think this will stop me? Your are sadly mistaken little one." He pushed at my aura, making me swallow it back in and before I knew it, he overtook me.
I ended up on my back on the floor where the coffee table used to sit and he was on top of me. I tried to fight him off with almost no strength left in me. I had gotten myself into this. My point was never made and it just made him act worse.
I was suddenly aware his one hand was clasping my jaw while the other gripped my wrists painfully. He wasn't pressed into me yet while bending over so the shagginess of his hair tickled my forehead. His face was so close that all I could do was stare into those glowing yellow eyes, wolf eyes.
"You want to play Alpha little girl? I am afraid you will lose. Your neat little tricks won't save you if you don't use your brain. What you did was not smart and you have me worked up now, so how should I reciprocate the favor?" His voice went from angry to seductive quick. I could feel his hand move from holding my jaw tight to gently stroking his finger along my neck down to the collar of the shirt I was wearing.
He skillfully went to the first button and undid it, his finger swam along the inner edges. I started to struggle and yell stop the moment I felt him let the next button loose. Suddenly his finger tip rolled along the top of my breasts making me wetter and more pissed at the same time.
"STOP! That's enough. What do want from me Cash? I refuse to stand around while you don't take me seriously. I will have the Almighty assign someone else since you have such an issue with me trying to do my job. I can leave this instance and you can take it up with the Almighty. It's done, I can't prove myself to you anymore! This is done, we're done!" I blurted it all out on rapid fire before I realized he had let go of my wrist and was now supporting himself on two hands leaning over me. The tension that blanketed my body left while the fear, and excitement I felt, subsided.
"You've already proven to me, twice, you can hold your own. I refuse, however, to be responsible for you if the occasion arises. If I get myself killed, then so be it. What I don't need is someone else dying for me." I heard his words as I laid there looking up at the ceiling fan. I was numb. I felt defeated, angry, and mad at myself, so when I suddenly heard the slam of the bedroom door, the tears creeped out.
I wasn't sure how long I laid there before I finally pulled threatening tears back in and myself up to see just a hint of light blue through the crack in the curtains behind the short sofa. My emotions had gotten the best of me. I needed sleep to clear my head on what to do next. Getting up I went to the kitchen to grab a quick drink of water then laid down on the floor. I pulled what blankets I could reach and a pillow to me. I needed the hardness of the floor to host a small pity party my mind was throwing. It was also just in case, if I had energy left, I could push my wings out if there was any need to. Closing my eyes, I focused on the hum of the refrigerator that eventually put me to sleep.
My sleep went pretty much undisturbed until the smell of food overtook my senses. My eyes were forced open to meet the brightly lit apartment. I could see twill curtains pulled open and allowing the sun to fight its way in. I gingerly sat up, my muscles aching in protest due to the body numbing experience I was put through last night. I looked over to where the smell was coming from and could see containers of takeout covering Cash's small table.
Walking over to the kitchen table I noticed 2 take out containers, one contained fruit and veggies and the other omelets. There was a note placed on the table next to the food.
"Eat. Work for me cannot wait. We will talk later." Short and sweet, but shit, he wasn't supposed to be going anywhere. I snagged a strawberry and searched for my phone in the pile of cloths by the sofa. I needed to call Reggie to find out where he worked.
I found his charger left in the bathroom. Something oddly normal for someone I noticed over the years. I plugged it in and stood looking at myself in the mirror while calling my best bud. I noticed I still don't look over the age of 26 though technically I would be about 46 by now. Hearing Reggie saying "What's up girl?", pulled me from my face inspection."Hey, any word on a safe spot?" She hadn't text me yet so I figured it was still a negative. "Nope. I left a message with Carlos, he's a 'placement agent' of sorts. Tricky little guy, but trustworthy. He will get back to me I am sure with in a day or 2. So what's up with you guarding a Were, since when did they become so special?" Reggie had been my backup on a few jobs, so her asking this was no surprise. I guarded mostly exotic, but the occasional average Other was a norm too. It was just odd, to even me, something so dangerous would need a body guard."Not sure, and not sure I am even really his body guard, it's more like a fanc
I text Michael really quick, before going next door to see the pixy family, asking him what Shifters he has had a run in with and if he knows any that have one green and one gold eye. This Shifter bugged me. I've only encountered one ran face to face before, and that was the time I first ever lost the Other I was protecting, an Other that I was in love with, a love that cost him his life. Hearing the sweet chimes of the baby Pixie through the door made me smile. It reminded me there's still innocence in this world. I knocked softly hoping not to startle her and the door creaked open at first and I came face to face with a flying little swarm of fury. I was so startled I backed up and almost fell into the elevator door. "Crist, stop it, its Cashes guest!! Show some restraint!" Hearing the sound of Robins voice, I realized this must be her husband that was attempting to assault me. I had to stifle a laugh. The little buzzing ball of spite was no bigger than my hand and armed with wha
Upon parting ways with Reggie, she said she'd try Carlos again and let me know. She also said Carlos is an Alux, or a descendant rather. He lost most his Fae abilities from his bloodline being watered down with the humane race. He is, however, good at finding safe houses and blending in the shadows. Walking down the main strip, I could see the old-fashioned street lights start to flicker. It was already 7 and the sun was kissing the tops of the sharp peaked mountains in the background. West City is beautiful through every season. Standing on the main strip you can see mountains to the left, soft rolling hills to the right and if you stand still, you can get a whiff of the massive open ocean behind you, though kind of far, the smell is always hitching a ride on the breeze in this direction. I continued walking for a few more minutes until I could see Cornell Plaza start to loom above the shops and eateries that lined main street. Looking silvery from the direction I was walking due t
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here. Ayda?" His firm words let me know the worry went right down the drain. I could now only see and feel anger coming from him."I am here because of you! Why did you go to work? You're aware there's a hit out for you, yet you don't seem to care!" I half yelled at him. I was more worried than angry.I watched him pinch the bridge of his nose and shake his head. I was starting to feel the heaviness of the helmet and decided to take it off before my neck started to protest too. Once it was off, I could feel like breathing came easier so I took a good look at him. He was dressed in a metal gray pair of slacks, button up collard dress shirt the shade of a fresh robin's egg. His tie was black with some light embossed design, while his shoes were what really caught my attention. I suddenly started to giggle. He was wearing house slippers. Looking at me lose myself, his anger increased however. "You find this funny? If I hadn't been looking at the security cameras
Reaching the building, I walked up the steps and reached the glass doors. Looking through, I noticed the hand written 'Out of Order' sign hanging on the elevator at end of the foyer. So going in I headed for the stairs with random ideas on how to get back at the big bad wolf for hurting my feelings. My mind being so focused on the stupidness of being petty, I didn't pay attention to what was about to happen.I opened the door to stairs, stepped in and froze, but it was too late. The pain introducing its self to the back of my head sent my sight and thoughts of pissing Cash off into darkness. I knew I didn't die because I could still feel the pain when I finally came to. There are very few moments in time I can be grateful for the lack of pain after a soul swap. This was one of them. I also felt pain in my jaw and wrists. I could tell my wrists were tied to something, and apparently was blindfolded as well, because I know my eyes were wide open. I calmed down for a second, being aliv
"Don't stare too long, your face will stick like that." Brushing off feathers as I commented, I walked over to the chair that went flying back a moment ago and stood it up straight. While he was still staring and hesitating, I sat down in the chair leaning back against my wings, it wasn't the most comfortable, but I sat there anyway and crossed my legs."First, let me introduce myself. Name's Ayda, and ya know the big guy upstairs?" pointing upwards as I was giving my intro."Well, he happens to be my boss, and according to him, no one, Other or Human, is allowed to be mean to me. That is, unless you're Him, or maybe a handful of Angels. Even then, I get pissed." I was trying to avoid dying by saying this and hoping for his hesitation to buy me sometime.Walking back to the tipped over fridge he turned and leaned it against it eyeing me."My, my. Not human, and by the look of those dirty wings, not an Angel either. I know based on the aura you're putting off, you're surely not a Shift
Trying to move whatever arm I could, I was able to bring it to my chest. Right below my neck, I stretched my fingers already covered in my blood, and managed to draw it. His calling card, his heavenly symbol that very few knew. It would connect with the soul inside me, and Michael would feel it. I had only tried it one other time, when it wasn't my death on the line. I prayed it worked this time as well.Within moments, I felt the presence of Heaven, he had come. I could hear Michael swear as he pushed a little energy in me to make my wings retract back in."Your dying, rest now." He whispered. It was almost like sweet permission to let go of the soul trying to stay in my broken body.I knew I could get on with the ride to nothingness. Cash would be safe as long as Michael was here. I suddenly realized the sounds I could hear had become distant. My train to death was leaving the station. Like looking out the window going down the tracks, I could barely make out the voices as I got fur
I had a million questions, and I owed him a 'thank you' and an apology, but the look on his face stopped me in my tracks.He was angry. I could have only assumed it was because he ended up saving me, or because I called Michael to save us both. It could also have been because I had taken over his bedroom for Almighty knows how long, or a million other things that popped in my head.I felt Michael walk up beside me, I looked up at him and he stared at Cash with a smirk and nodded his head at the wolf. Throwing his arm around my shoulders he did a slight squeeze, I stood there frozen. I swore I could hear soft city noise outside stop completely but I wasn't sure."She's alive, as you can see. I don't lie, about such things, as Others do, it's beneath me." Cash didn't respond, he just stood there staring at me with his angry face. I was starting to feel really uncomfortable.I think Michael sensed this and removed his arm while wearing a slight frown. Staring at Cash in a moments silence
