prison of muscle. My fingers found the skin on his back and dug in deep, scratching him under the strain. My body felt broken, like it had shattered under the pressure of too much ecstasy.
“Ssshh.... just breathe, calm Keira,” he whispered in my ear as the frenzy was slowing down and euphoria was taking over, covering me in a cloud of delirium. I was trying to convert my panting into slower, deeper breaths but my body vibrated under his hands as I trembled.
“Are you all right?” He asked in concern. I couldn't help but let out an almighty laugh. Was I all right...? I had just had the most incredible experience and it seemed that it just kept getting better every time. And he was asking me if I was all right! Crazy!
I swallowed hard and smiled at him. “I am more than all right. I felt like I was flying and now I'm floating in a mist of euphoria...so yes I am fine,” I said laughing again. He kissed my now salty lips before picking me up into his arms and placing me on the bed. He moved away from me but before I could complain he was back again with a large goblet of water.
“Drink, your body is dehydrated,” he said smiling at me, looking as happy as I felt. But there was one question that was burning inside me to get out.
“Is it...the same for you?” I asked wondering if my cheeks had gone red, as I couldn't feel anything with my skin all hot and sticky. He grinned showing his perfect white teeth.
“I can imagine it's much better,” he said, but I frowned thinking there was no way that could be true.
“I doubt that very much,” I said thinking how could it. What did I do for him?
“Why do you think I bit you? I am sorry about that by the way.” He said looking guiltily at my neck.
“Don't be...I liked it...well more than liked, actually.” He looked back up at me raising his eyebrows in surprise.
“It makes me understand why my kind breaks the rules,” he said and I shook my head in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“It is utterly forbidden for Angels and Demons to be with humans like that,” he said as if I would have known this.
“Then why are you with me, why did you just...?” I stammered. But he just let one side of his lips turn upwards giving him a smug grin.
“Because it is different with you...like I said before, you were sent to me...born for me, I can't go into why, but you will understand in time. All you need to know is that it is allowed...well more like expected.” And he added a low rough laugh to this last part.
“Wait a minute so let me get this straight...I was your first... human?” I asked getting giddy at the idea.
“Yes of course!” He said, like it was common knowledge.
“So you were like a...human virgin?” I asked not helping the giggle that came out at the thought. He rolled his eyes at me and then shook his head frowning.
“If that's what you want to call it...yes, but you were the same, may I remind you!”
“I wasn't a virgin” I said before I had chance to think about it.
“Why, have you slept with many Angel Demon half breeds lately?” He asked sarcastically.
“OH well if you put it like that, then no, just you...but humans....”
“YES, yes I don't want to know about that!!” He said cutting me off with all the humour gone.
“Sorry, but I guess I'm not the only one, I mean, you must have had your fill of...well you know” I said not liking this conversation any more.
“Yes and would you like to hear about them?” He snapped, again with the sarcasm.
“NO!” I shouted and he shot me a look as if to say ‘well then!’
“Ok, I get your point...but just to clarify, humans...well no comparison,” I said giving him my own version of a cheeky grin that made him melt.
“Well for your information...being with my kind can in no way compare even in the slightest with what your body does to me...your soul is like nothing I have ever felt before...even the taste of your blood...sorry, I shouldn't say that. But one thing’s for sure, it looks like I was wrong about knowing my limits...I will have to control myself next time.” He said as his thumb circled where he had bitten me.
