Glamour Bites

I awoke with a jolt and looked around the dark room, panicking. I couldn’t see anything, couldn’t hear anything, couldn’t smell anything. Was I still in Sheol? Where was I?



I opened my mouth and found a small scream escape before safe arms wrapped around me and a calming voice spoke gently in my ear.



“It’s alright, Lexi. No one can harm you here. I’ll make sure of that. Relax. You’re still healing from the beating.”



I sighed and breathed in the heavy scent of Cassi as she held me. It just felt right to be sitting there in her arms.



After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted to the room and I saw someone else sitting in the corner. I breathed in and caught the heavy sulfur scent of Kingston and nearly burst into tears.



He walked over to the bed and wrapped his arms around me. Cassi moved from the bed and let him hold me tighter. “Shh, shh, Alexia, it’s alright. Everything is ok now.”



“No, it’s not, Kingston. I let you down.”



“How in Sheol did you let me down? You got me out of there without more than a bruise on me. The only way I would have gotten out of there myself would have been in a box. You’re my hero.”



“I’m going to go over to Harper’s and make sure that him and Ian know you’re alright, Lexi. I’m sure Kingston will take care of you.” Cassi smiled and kissed me on the forehead. “I thought I had lost you there for a minute. Don’t do that again.”



I smiled and watched her leave, hearing the front door close, before turning back to Kingston. “I didn’t do anything but knock Melodux out after getting the shit beat out of me. I don’t even remember how I got here.”



I sat up and realized that I was naked, a large bandage over my stomach. I shrugged it off, not caring about my lack of clothing and looked at Kingston, trying to remember something after Melodux went down.



“You passed out, Alexia. I don’t expect you to remember what happened after that. I just took you through the portal and we ended up in the middle of some field. I got your address out of the phone book and made my way here with you. Cassi healed you as best as she could before we let you start healing yourself. That’s about it.”



Kingston paused for a moment and I nodded. “Sounds like you’re my hero, Kingston. If you hadn’t gotten me out of there, I would still be at the mercy of Melodux.”



“Um, do you remember what happened before Melodux showed up? Do you remember what you said?”



I did remember what I had said, and I knew that I had meant it all. But what about Ian? If I wanted Kingston so bad, what was my relationship with Ian going to be like?



I sighed and nodded. “Yes, Kingston, I remember everything before I passed out.” I took his hand and held it gently. “Everything.”



“And, um, did you mean it?” His voice held such sorrow and self-loathing. He had always hated what he was and knew that few people would accept him as a demon.



I sat up more, revealing just how undressed I was, and leaned into him, moving his head to look at me. “Every word, Kingston.”



He leaned into me and kissed me as he had in Sheol. My hand cupped his face as his arm went around my waist, rubbing against the still tender wounds there.



I gasped and pulled back. “What the hell?” I moved to where I could pull the gauze off my body and flinched at the thin cuts there, still very much red and bloody. “I should have healed this by now.”



“We thought that same thing. The only thing we can figure is that he used a demon enchanted blade. I tried a few demon healing spells, but they didn’t work enough. I’m sorry.”



“It’s ok, Kingston. Look in the top dresser drawer behind my undergarments and get the purple velvet Crown Royale bag.” He nodded and walked over to the drawer, smirking a little as he rummaged through my underwear drawer.



He pulled the bag out and walked it over to me, flopping gently beside me. “Here you go, Alexia. What’s in here anyway?”



I opened the bag and pulled out a vial of a light purple liquid and a zip lock bag full of a special herb. “These are my healing supplies. I used them only when I’m severally hurt.”



I popped the top on the vial and downed the contents, shuddering at the vile taste. I held the bag of herbs out to him and smiled. “I need help packing the wounds. Seeing as you’re the only one here, you get volunteered.”



“Oh joy of joys.” Kingston smiled playfully as he took the herbs from me and opened the bag, filling the room with the smell of the forest.



I breathed in deep and sighed as Kingston took a pinch of herbs from the bag and gently pressed them into the wounds along my stomach.



When the wounds were packed with herbs, I closed my eyes and pulled my powers to the service. “Alker muhina lytanera.”



The room went silent as the magick moved around me, finding the herbs and infusing them into my body, healing me. There was a faint glow over the wounds as they filled in, and then the room went dark again.



Kingston ran his hand over my now perfect stomach and smiled. “That’s still the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve been alive for over seven hundred years and am still fascinated by witch healing magick.”



“I’ve been doing it all my life and it still fascinates me. It just changes so much that it’s never the same.” I moved my head and found Kingston looking at me. “What?”



“You’re so beautiful, Alexia.”



I looked down where my hands held his and sighed. What was I doing? I had Ian up here and I came and brought Kingston back. How in the world was I going to deal with having both of them in my life?



I didn’t have time to think about the consequences of my actions before Kingston’s lips met mine. They locked onto mine with a fiery passion I didn’t even realize that he possessed.



For an instant, I thought about pushing him away, but his will was stronger. Not to mention I had wanted to finish what we had started before Melodux had interrupted. I pushed gently at his shoulder, then found my hands pulling his shirt up and knew that I was a goner.



I pulled his shirt over his head and moved to his pants before it hit the floor. I cleared the zipper and shoved them down his hips with a rough, “Off!”



He smiled against my lips and stood, shoving the pants down off his hips the rest of the way. He kicked them across the room and stood by my bed, his body pure perfection.



I knew as he stood there that there was no way I was going to be able to say no to him now. All thoughts of Ian and how wrong this could be for our relationship were gone.



He slid into the bed beside me and then moved where he was kneeling between my knees. My heart sped up when I thought about what was coming. It nearly burst from my chest as he lowered his lips to my stomach and playfully licked a line from my belly button to just below my breasts.



I watched as he looked up at me, moving his head just above my right breast. I held my breath as his tongue flicked out, teasing my nipple. A soft moan escaped my lips and I found my hands on his shoulders, gripping tightly.



I felt his hand move up my leg, spreading my thighs wider. His finger plunged between my legs as his mouth locked onto my breast, sucking hard on my nipple. I gasped and arched my back, filling his mouth with as much of me as I could.



He moved from my breast to my lips. He kissed me deep as he slid his fingers out of me, causing a moan to escape from my lips.



I felt him move a little, but wasn’t really paying attention enough to know what he was doing. That is, until I felt gently touch against my most intimate parts. I pulled back about an inch to question what he was doing when he entered me, pushing through the tightness of my body. I moved my hips to meet his and felt the tip of his hard erection touch my cervix, deep inside me.



I leaned up and kissed him, hard, and felt a slight hesitation in him. “What’s wrong, Kingston?”



The smile on Kingston’s face brightened his eyes and made him look better than I had ever seen him look. He shook his head and kissed me gently. “Nothing, Alexia. I was just thinking about how much I love you.”



It was shocking to hear Kingston admit something I had known for a few years now. I didn’t know what to say, so I told him the truth. “I love you too, Kingston.”



He kissed me harder as he began to slowly work his way out of me. I bit his lip and shook my head, giving him a mischievous look. I was rewarded with a smile and another kiss.



He took my look to heart and pulled out of me quickly before thrusting himself deep within me, causing a scream to come from my mouth. The scream was cut short as his mouth met mine, kissing me as if he were eating me from the mouth down.



Again he pulled himself out of me quickly and just as fast shoved himself back inside me. Over and over with the pleasure building between us, I felt as if nothing in this world could spoil this moment.



It was at that moment, the exact moment of Kingston’s release as well as my own, that I caught a scent that brought a hint of fear. With the rush of wave after wave pleasure washing through my body, I couldn’t place the scent and didn’t really care.



Kingston collapsed on top of me for only a moment before leaning up on his elbows to look down at me. He pulled out of me gently, but made sure that our bodies were still touching.



I smiled as he leaned down and kissed me, though that was cut short as a voice broke through the silence that had been surrounded by our bliss. “You fucking bitch! Is this why you fucking disappeared on us? For some ugly demon man-whore? He's not even all demon.”
