D E L I L A HThe kiss started out slow and sweet until it became more urgent. None of us were able to get enough of each other. Azriel’s hands left my cheek and grabbed the back of neck, deepening the kiss.Unable to bear the distance between us anymore, I took a small step closer. My hands left Azriel's and went to his chest.His wings tucked in tightly as I stepped forward and brushed his leather clad arms.He groaned into my mouth, shoving his tongue into my mouth. I bit his lips lightly, enjoying the familiar taste of him. But also the unfamiliar taste if cigarettes he had obviously been smoking. I shook those thoughts out of my head, deciding I would bring up his smoking habits later– not when I desperately needed him.Azriel broke the kiss. “Delilah...” He growled. “You don't want this, trust me.”“You can't tell me what I do and do not want,” I said with a small grin. I looked him dead in the eyes. “I've wanted this for a while now.”Before he could protest, I leaned in, and k
D E L I L A HI woke up to series of feather like kisses on my neck. I bit back a smile, snuggling myself into the bed. “Wake up, sleepyhead. You have to get to work.”I let out a groan, feeling all to tired to even get out of bed. “I don't have to go to work. My boss would understand.” I said cheekily, earning a chuckle from him.“Believe me, he wouldn't. Your boss doesn't joke with his business and he might sack you from the job.”“Are you threatening me?” I said, opening one eye to look at him in amusement. He shjok his head and placed a peck on my lips.“Barely, just stating facts. Now get up princess, I'm not letting you off work today.” He said in a serious tone making me groan in annoyance.“Is the soreness I feel between my legs and the fact that you used every ounce of strength in Mr last night not enough to gaim me a day off?” I whined, playfully glaring at him.I watched as Azriel's eyes darked by my statement, reminiscing the events of last night. He cast me a list filled
D E L I L A H Azriel immediately knew something was up as soon as I barged into his office with my tear streaked face. He didn't care that there were people in his office as he immediately sauntered over to me. “Hey hey, what's wrong?” He cradled my cheek, turning me to face him. “Talk to me, baby.” I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat was too heavy to even make out a sentence without me crying. The men in the room looked at us with surprise on their faces but Azriel wasn't having it as he turned to them and growled, “Out y'all! This meeting is over!” They didn't need to be told twice as they all scrambled out of the office, leaving us alone. I face him, my lips trembling. “A-Azriel... I- Kian, his school called. T-they can't find him. They cand find my son!” I finally let the dam of years out as I fisted his shirt, crying into his chest. His body immediately tensed, going rigid. “What did you say?” His voice was void of emotions as he pulled away to look at me. “They c-c
D E L I L A H Horror passed through the security guard's eyes as Azriel’s brooding figure stood in front of him. He was a tall guy with dirty blonde hair, he had an innocent look that one could have looked past. But at this point anyone could be the culprit. I just want to get my baby back. “H-how may I help you?” The security guard stuttered, clearing his throat and trying to not let his trembling body noticeable. “You know damn well why I'm here. Your job is to make sure no kid leaves the school premises without parental guidance, right?” Azriel said in a cool, calm voice but I knew it was all a facade. He was barely restraining himself and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before he would explode. “Y-yes–” Without letting him complete his sentence, Azriel cut him off. “Care to tell me how my son left the school premises and you claim you didn't see him, whereas you've been here all day?” His voice was becoming darker as the seconds ticked. “Are you accusing me–” “Let's
M E L I S S AAs soon as I walked into the room where the guys, I noticed a pair of eyes looking at me but I immediately looked away, my body feeling hot.I turned to Azriel, whose expression was dark and solemn as always. He was standing over the half conscious security guard, looking like he was about to inflict more pain on the boy. “Azriel...” I called out his name, trying to get his attention.His head snapped up to mine and he growled, “What do you want?”I tried to shake off the fear that ran through my spine at the tone of his voice. “Uhm, Delilah is awake and I guess you'd want to see her.” He tried to hide it, but I immediately noticed his expression lightened a little bit at the mention of her name as he stiffly nodded his head and walked out of the room. The love he had for her was so obvious. If I had doubted it before, I definitely believed it now.I was so happy for my best friend and truly hope we'd find Kian soon. Seeing her that distraught, hopeless made my heart ac
D E L I L A HThe sound of the door opening woke me up from my slumber as I peered at Azriel through sleepy eyes. His expression was murderous as he walked into the closet. Without thinking twice, I got out of the bed and followed him. He looked at me as soon as I was in the closet with him, his hands placed on his head. “What's going on?”“We are leaving tonight.” He said in a tight voice.I looked at him in confusion. “To where?”“Home. The tracker led us to Romania and from there, we'd know where to find her. We can't afford to waste more time, knowing Kian is open to more harm.”Going back to a place I ran away from was definitely something I wasn't expecting. A place that had caused me so much trauma and pain. A place that I also had happy memories with Azriel. A place where our baby was conceived. The same place my life changed forever.But I had no choice, did I?If I wantrd to get my bagy back, I needed to make that sacrifice right? Azriel didn't say anything as he kept pack
D E L I L A H Trying to sleep in a room that held so many memories was a very hard. I stayed up, staring at the ceiling and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop the flash backs. The happily moments. The fights. Our first night together. When we confessed our feelings to each other, it wasn’t something I could easily forget. Thinking of what could have been if I hadn’t made the decision to leave brought tears to my eyes. I was tired of being sad. Of thinking. I was exhausted. I got out of bed, wrapping my arms around myself. I wanted to feel his strong arms wrapped around me. His breath on my neck. I needed him. I quietly made my way out of the room and walked towards the next room. I knew he would be in there. I softly opened the door. The room was dark and tbe only source of light in the room was coming from the moon. The moonlight shined through the window, highlighting his face. He slowly opened his eyes, peering at me. He had always been a light sleeper. Waking up to
D E L I L A H “Fancy meeting you again, Delilah.” I turned around to come face to face with Andrea. I thought she had left with the others, I had insisted on going with them but Azriel pointed out that it wasn't right for me to go out yet. Considering the fact that I didn't know if I would stay here permanently, I think he had a point. “I think you're not really happy about my arrival, Andrea. Your expression already gave it away.” I responded to her. Andrea's attitude hasn't changed one bit, she was still as she was five years ago, if not worse. “What do you want me to do? Jump and be ecstatic about you coming back? After the horrible things you did to my brother? To think I was beginning to like you.” She spat in distaste, glaring at me. “Since when did you start caring about your brother? Last I recall, you absolutely hated his guts and wanted nothing to do with him.” I knew I was being petty but I couldn't help but be defensive. “But you did worse than I'd ever do to him. Yo
