Kassern (Archangels Creed) (24 page)

“Spread your legs.”

“Oh God, yes,” she whispered, her face pressed against the car.

He slid his cock between her tight cheeks while reaching with his hand to fondle her slick petals and that oh so hard clit buried there. She tiptoed, giving him better access.

“You’re so wet for me.”

“Yes,” she panted.

He bit lightly into her shoulder and pulled her against him. Holding her against his body, he continued to play with her clit from the front. She rested her head against his shoulder, crying out. Holding her off the ground, he moved with her to the back side of the car and set her down.

“Lean over the trunk baby.”

When she did, Troy gripped her ass cheeks and moaned at how good she looked this way. He stepped in close and slid the head of his cock along her hot silk. She cried out and looked back. Troy slid in to the hilt, leaning over her so that his chest pressed into her back. He laced his fingers into her hair with one hand and pulled back a little, need making him reckless. Devyn loved it. With his other hand, he reached for her hand and moved it between her legs. “Play with your pussy for me.”

“Oh God, Troy.”

His cock throbbed hard inside her as he turned her profile toward him, wanting to see her. He put his hand over hers, feeling her fingers on herself. “Are you ready for me to fuck you?”

“Yes, yes.” She moaned the words, desperate and he pulled his cock out and plunged it back in, still maintaining a grip in her hair.

“Fuck me Troy,
do
it, please.”

That undid him.
That beg
. Fucking her was all he could think now. Fast and hard till he came inside her.

He kept his eyes on her profile, on her lips parted for those mind blowing cries of pleasure as he pounded into her with a ruthless abandon, her
yes, yes, yes
fueling him on.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” she cried.

Troy grabbed her waist and plunged in frantically, letting his orgasm take him. Devyn shuddered around his cock while he came hard and long, stifling a roar.

When it was clear they were entirely done, he pulled out of Devyn, turned her limp body around and pulled her into a tight embrace, his lips buried in her shoulder. “
Don’t
fucking doubt me again. Please, I love you.
Never
doubt that, it kills me when you do.”

She grasped his face between her hands and dove on his mouth. “I love you too,” she gasped, “more than anything!”

It was the first time she’d said it. Troy groaned at how good those words felt, knowing he’d never been so happy in his entire life.

Chapter Twenty
Three

Kassern sat on the balcony, waiting for Karly to finish in the bathroom. He shamelessly used his angelic hearing, listening to the rhythm of her heart beating, her every breath and sigh, the satisfied moan of having hot water that didn’t run out.

Kassern tilted his head when he heard another kind of moan. He gripped the rail, feeling the rise in her temperature and pulse. His cock grew when she made those sweet noises he remembered far too well.

His plan was to love her without sex, show her real affection, the kind she’d been denied all her life, from simple caresses and compliments to making her laugh, but heaven of heaven’s she made it hard. Really hard. In fact, it was proving downright impossible. Every breath she took made him want her more. Every moment became a test of his self-control.

He was a little amazed about it, actually. Even without a sexual context, her behavior was so innocently sensual, his mind never failed to go there. She was a
toucher
, always stroking, trailing a hand over,
sliding
a fingertip across, any surface that presented itself. Whenever she touched something in passing with that obvious appreciation of texture, he couldn't resist imagining she touched him.

A quickened breath took his mind back into the bathroom, and his own heart echoed the accelerated rhythm of hers. He would think she wouldn’t be so aroused with the absence of…of what? Of him? He was the only one who’d ever made her feel that good, this much he knew. Was she thinking of him? Resisting the temptation to pry into her sweet mind tested his limits. The idea she might imagine him while doing what she was doing drained the strength from his legs. And what
was
she doing? Exactly?

He paced on the balcony, the temptation to project himself into that bathroom, no, into that tub with her, nearly overwhelming him. He listened as her breathing became labored and her heart thudded. Soft moans and gasps were accompanied by occasional small splashes, but finally her moans turned frustrated before ending with a sigh and splash of water. 

“Kassern?”

He froze for a second then went to the bathroom door. “Yes?”

“Can you…wash my back?”

He clenched his eyes, hand trembling on the door knob. “Of course.”

Opening the door, he kept his gaze averted, demonstrating self-control, showing her that it wasn’t all about her body, her luscious sweet, perfect body.  Or about those amazing nipples,
God
what perfection. He knelt next to the claw foot tub and found a safe place to look.

He was a warrior, he could do this. Eyes locked on the bubbles, he took the soapy sponge from her outstretched hand. She hugged her drawn up knees and he began the simple, normal task of washing her back. Seemed safe enough to watch the water cascade over her skin while she wasn’t aware he was looking. Until she glanced back and caught him.

“Sorry,” he said.

She kept her head turned, smiling at him. “For what?”

For what, for what, focus. He suddenly didn’t want to tell her why. Telling her would just be admitting to the fact that he was weak. She needed strong.
He
needed strong. “That I’m not better at this back washing.”

She gave a sweet laugh. “You’re doing fine.” She glanced back at him again. “
Sooo
, how long have you been an angel?”

He smiled softly. “Since I was created.”

"So you didn't like… live a regular life before?"

Flattered by her interest, he shook his head and laughed. "Is any life regular? But no, I never lived as a human." Had never wanted to either. At least not until recently.

For a moment, she just looked at him, studying. "When were you created?" A little nervous tension showed around her mouth, as if she were prepared to be shocked by his answer.

"Honestly?" When she nodded, he continued. "I'm not sure. A
very
long time." The human mind couldn't comprehend the scope of universal time even if he could explain.

“Wow. Do you like it? I mean I was thinking being an angel would be boring. The Bible talks about them singing holy
holy
holy
to the lord God almighty day and night.” She shrugged. “Seems like it would get old.”

Kassern’s laughter filled the bathroom. “Well, I do sing praises,
sometimes,
but for the most part, I patrol.”

“Like a cop angel?”

He sobered when his fingers touched her skin as he washed. “Yes, like a cop angel.” He dipped the sponge in the hot water and stroked it carefully over her back, again allowing his fingers to feel. Soft.

She suddenly slid down and submersed all but her head in the mound of bubbles. He stared into her eyes and she smiled. “You’re so serious.” She lifted a leg out of the water. “Care to wash my feet?”

He turned and looked at the perfect foot poised in the air. Anything to touch her. He held her ankle and dipped the sponge, running it softly over her arch. She squealed and wiggled her foot. “It tickles.”

Tickles. Kassern’s gaze snuck along her leg. His breath froze when her hands waved in the bubbles, parting them so that he glimpsed those perfect petals between her legs. He jerked his gaze away, returning to her foot.

“
Mmmm
, this feels so good. You know what I wish?”

“What?” Kassern had never been so eager to fill wishes. Anything to keep his mind off of her body.

“I would
love
a massage.”

His hand froze and he met her smiling gaze. Great. She was testing him.

She wiggled her foot again and Kassern took it into his hands and stared at the perfect toes. She curled,
then
flexed them up. “My feet are ugly, aren’t
they.
”

It was a stated fact of life.

“I was just thinking how adorable they were.”

“Really?” Like she thought he were crazy but at the same time hopeful.

He stroked the arch, his fingers slowing to feel everything.

“Oh wow, you’re good.”

Kassern couldn’t answer as he focused his fingers along the muscles and nerves that bore her slight weight. The moan she gave made his cock twitch.

“I mean
wow
you’re really good. Of course you are
,
you’re an angel.”

Kassern was oblivious to anything but feeling her. His eyes drifted shut as he worked his fingers over her ankle and then gradually her calf. Her every moan fueled him on along with the ecstasy of her silk wrapped muscles.

Surely he'd never heard a sweeter sound in all his angelic life. Without even thinking, his fingers moved with perfection, creating more of those sounds. He brought her foot to his chest and pressed it against him so he could use both hands.

He didn't notice his t-shirt dissolving under her foot so that he could feel her against his skin. He also didn’t notice that his fingers worked their way down her leg and entered the water. He just couldn’t stop. Mesmerized by her racing pulse and the need resonating in her moans, his fingers explored the silky softness of her inner thigh. She was heaven wrapped in the flesh.

“Kassern.”

His eyes snapped open and his hand froze, realizing what he was doing. He jerked his hand back and stood. “I-I’m sorry.” What an idiot.

She sat up abruptly and his eyes locked on her glistening breasts and erect nipples. Fire erupted in his veins, licking out of his eyes. He clenched them shut, turned, and left before he proved to her not even an angel could love her without wanting sex. What was he thinking? What was wrong with him? Was his angelic side losing to his human? Even so, that didn’t mean he shouldn’t have quality human traits! He looked down and finally realized he was shirtless. Just wow. He quickly donned another.

Karly’s screech jolted through him and he flashed back into the bathroom. “What?”

She grabbed him by the shirt and buried her face in his chest. “A spider!”

To his horror, his shirt dissolved again. What an embarrassment. “A spider?” His words gushed through the excitement her touch brought. He quickly ushered her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. “You don’t like spiders?”

“No!”

He couldn’t help but chuckle at the cute
are you insane
look on her face. Then she noticed his missing shirt.

“You always walk around like this?” Her warm breath on his chest sent chills through him.

“Yes.” No sense in telling her he was trying to keep his clothes on and her touch dissolved them.

“Well?” She looked up at him. “Are you going to kill it?”

“What, the spider?”

Again he chuckled at her furrowed brows. Her way of saying you’re awfully slow for an angel. 

“I just told it to leave and never return.”

Her eyes popped with amazement. “And it listened?”

“Of course.” Kassern resisted the urge to stroke her flush cheek.

“Well good!” She nodded, relief softening her face. She lowered her gaze to his naked chest and pointed with a finger. “You should keep your clothes on.”

“Yes. Sorry.” He thought on a long sleeved red silk shirt.

“I mean…how would you like it if I were to walk around that way?”

Kassern’s grin faded with the look she leveled on him. Silky…like her words that slid over his body. He struggled to dispel the image she’d effortlessly given him. “You better get dressed. I want to cook for you.”

She sucked in a happy breath. “Really? How romantic!”

Sounded like she considered that a good thing. Her gaze suddenly angled at him and she slowly drew closer until her hands touched his chest. He focused on holding his shirt in place, watching her draw her lower lip between her teeth. “I can pay you back nicely.”

When her hand cupped his cock, Kassern flashed to the other side of the room. Heart racing, he stared at Karly who stood looking confused and…fuck, rejected.

Kassern hurried to her. “I’m sorry, I just…I don’t want you to think you have to do anything sexual for love. You don’t. Love is a free gift.” He stroked her cheek, staring into her hopeful clear blue eyes.

She lowered her gaze to his chest and placed her hands on it. Fucking shirt dissolved. She smiled. “Why do you keep doing that if you don’t want sex?”
