Under the incubus' protection Chapter 54
Desmond wasn’t a chatty spirit. On the way to Elaine’s house, he occasionally remarked on something we would see on the road. He didn’t say anything flirty, sexy, or romantic. The problem was his affectionate gaze. His eyes carried so much love, warmth, and expectation. If possible, I would have taken a picture to show Elaine as proof that he wasn’t like the others. Since those profound emotions only reflected in his eyes when he looked at me, Elaine or any other person wouldn’t feel their intensity. In my heart, I believed and hoped that my incubus would pass all of Elaine’s tests. Desmond loved me. It showed through his every word and action. The security I felt in his presence was enough evidence of his soothing and selfless love for me.When I pulled into Elaine’s driveway, he and I shared a look that I had no words to explain.“I guess it’s time for me to shift into my spirit form,” said Desmond.“Wait!” I grabbed his hand and placed my fingers on his bony, angular jaw. “I love

What Elaine had told me was appalling. I wasn’t denying that Incubi could be aggressive, too. However, I couldn’t imagine Desmond becoming so violent over a minor delay. My sudden change of heart would upset him, though.I took the contract from Elaine’s hands and jammed it into the back pocket of my jeans. “Or we could say that it is irrevocable and indestructible until the witch who owns the enchanted scroll chooses to take the spell off. That way, it will all depend on you. You can refuse to do it, and if he becomes violent with you, he fails the test.”Elaine looked at me with narrowed eyes. Her face didn’t hold back to express the detestation she felt for my plan. “Don’t drag me into this. I have already refused to return the contract once, and your incubus smashed glass everywhere in my energy room. Did that change your mind? Or do you believe whatever excuse he had for that?”It was her right to be angry at me. I was asking too much of someone who was only trying to help. “You’

When Elaine broke a promise, her incubus threw her stuff onto the ground, whereas a broken promise, in my case, got me roughly thrown against the window of my car. My punishment, however, was different.The force of Desmond’s mouth on my mouth had my head pinned against the cold glass window of the driver’s seat. There was no need to use his hands as I couldn't move even if I wanted to under the passion of his kiss. It was hard to recall a single instance where I had ever wished for him to stop.Desmond emptied my mouth of his favorite thing without a warning and looked at me. “I know you’re thinking someone might catch us making love in your car.”“Huh?” I pressed my lips together and licked them, trying to get out of the magical aftertaste of my incubus’s kiss. “Yes, you read my mind,” I lied after my brain processed his words.“Is it? Is it what you were thinking? Or was I the only thing on your mind?” Desmond’s eyes twinkled with roguishness.“Why do you tease me when you are awar

I didn’t know what I had done to deserve more heat. I would intentionally be naughty every day if that's what I would get for breaking a promise.“You want to rip my jeans? Don’t you?” I said, clutching Desmond’s hand on my thigh.“I want to tear your panties to shreds, too. My wishes would shock you. The question is, would you let me?” Desmond pinched my bottom, seductively biting his lower lip.That was the first time my boyfriend had torn my clothes into pieces instead of taking them off. At first, Desmond’s animalistic approach to getting me naked had taken me aback. Did I mind now? No! His impatience to reach my bare skin was hot as hell. My incubus’s wild desires had the good girl in me in a chokehold. Since the moment our lips touched, lust was the only thing on my mind.“Do it!” I commanded him, putting my fingers into his messy, silky black hair.Desmond smiled contently at my answer. He rubbed his face against my boobs and put one in his mouth as his nails gently clawed my j

I rested my head on the backseat, panting, exhausted, and blown out of my freaking mind. My naked body was all sweaty and wet in intimate parts. I wouldn’t have been surprised to find bruises and bite marks all over me. What was in my sight was all clear, but my buttocks had survived a brutal attack. I couldn’t wait to look at them in the mirror to see what had become of them.“That was something!” I remarked after my breath had regulated a bit. “I need clothes and a shower to restore the damage you have done to me.”“Alright. I can help with the physical damage.” Desmond tucked in his package, responsible for my breathlessness, and zipped his jeans. “But darling, would you ever be able to break free of its mental effects?”Desmond’s pride in having complete authority over the pleasure center of my brain was irksomely alluring.“Don’t tempt me. I might start going to church daily and become chaste again. Your little games of seduction won’t work on me then.” I gave him a playful warni

After watching superhero movies, I think most girls imagine being saved by a big, powerful man and flying in his arms at some point in their lives. I was guilty of fantasizing about such scenes as well in my teen years.Desmond had proposed to go by air, using his abilities to reach home faster. Flying was supposed to be different with him. I didn’t know what he meant by that until he demonstrated it.Boy, oh, boy, was Desmond right about it being a dissimilar experience! He did carry me in his arms, but we skipped the flying part. All I felt was a strong current of air surrounding my body and pitch-black darkness before my eyes. “Ouch!” I was about to fall, but Desmond prevented me from falling.“Be careful, my love,” said Desmond, helping me to stand straight.My vision had been restored, and we were standing in one place. I studied my surroundings and found us to be in a park. “I thought we were going home. Why are we here?” I asked my incubus while trying to maintain my balance.

I thrashed in the water, struggling to keep my head above the surface. What was I doing? I knew how to swim. Then why was I subconsciously attempting to drown myself? Probably because Desmond was going to kill me anyway after reading my texts with Elaine. As I was deciding whether to live or die, I felt a powerful set of arms pushing me out of the water and dragging me to the shore. My heart knew who it was, and I could recognize that body from a mile away, but I was too afraid to meet his eye. Once we were on the shore, Desmond put me on the ground. To avoid his wrath, I pretended to be unconscious.“If you were expecting me to give you CPR, let me tell you it won't happen. You did an amazing job of preventing water from entering your lungs for someone who doesn’t know how to swim,” said Desmond, making my brilliant plan look like a goon's show.Since my cover was blown, I raised my body and sat with my legs crossed together. “Where is my phone? Did you go through all my texts?” “

In less than a few hours, Desmond had rewarded me for shady behavior with amazing sex, and things were still in my favor after he had read Elaine’s conspiring texts on my phone. Had my ill luck improved? Or had I won the jackpot in my incubus?“You don’t find that demeaning? We don’t have to prove anything to Elaine. Your feelings are more important to me. I don’t think I need her guidance anymore. We can take it from here. It may have started with a contract, but our love is not a business deal,” I said, massaging his hand.“Demeaning?” Desmond began. “For as old as time, lovers have proved their worth to each other. I want to make you further swoon over me by passing the love test in the eyes of others. How can I let go of such a golden opportunity?”My coy gaze dropped to the ground. “My body is already in your possession. So, I better shield my heart, then. I’ll be in loads of trouble if you make it to the center.”“You think I wouldn’t make you drop your defenses?” Desmond graspe

Under the incubus' protection Epilogue
Two months had gone by since the war at Voocrod. With Jane and Benedict out of our lives, things were back to normal, mostly. The loss of our father was irrevocable, but we were grateful to have each other. Mom’s emotions had gotten under control, and she was slowly returning to her old self. Desmond was now her favorite person in the world. She could barely have a family dinner without him. It made me so happy to see their unique bond.Mia was doing well, too. Her scars had healed, and she had met a wonderful guy a month ago. Things were going pretty well. Her new boyfriend, Jack, had become Mom’s second favorite, so we expected a lot from that relationship.Derrick’s life had changed drastically as well. He now believed in magic and demons and supported my relationship with Desmond. What shocked us the most was when he and Becky announced they were officially dating. Good for Becky! She was a sweetheart who had always done so much to help me and my family. I couldn’t wait to have h

“Help, help!” I threw my fists at the window panically. In the building’s empty parking lot, there was no one to hear my distress-filled screams. I tried the door handle again, but it wouldn’t budge.Benedict’s demons had me cornered. Nothing was off limits for them. The fact that Alistair was on the enemy’s side was a greater shock than finding Desmond’s truth. I believed Xolmon because he acted so normal. I should have known better. Why did I agree to meet him, knowing very well that demons could look and behave normally?“Save the screaming for when we torture you, girl,” Hepzibah, the demoness, taunted. Her sharp claws gripped my shoulders, pulling me out of my seat. I struggled and shrieked. Even though it was pointless, I called Desmond’s name. The monster of my nightmares had caught me. Who would save me now? He was the only one I trusted after God.As I was kicking my feet, everything became a blur. I could hear the demons snickering at me. It all faded slowly. I had passed ou

My heart throbbed with the clock’s second needle. It was around midnight. Desmond had left fifteen minutes ago for Voocrod, leaving me and my family at Becky’s apartment. The much-awaited final war had begun. I had begged him to take me with him, but he said it was too dangerous. “Humans suffer the most during spirit wars, Cass,” Desmond had said. “Fiends will not hesitate to spill innocent blood. Violence is entertainment for them. What I fear the most is them taking you hostage to hurt me. Your love is my strength and my weakness. It doesn’t matter how close we are to winning the war. I would drop everything and sacrifice myself to save you.”Now, I was forced to wait without updates. Desmond wasn’t the only one who cared. I cared about his safety, too. Resting on Becky’s couch, I prayed to God for our victory and to bring my demon back to me unharmed.Becky wasn’t there because she had to leave to see her grandmother because of a medical emergency. My friend, however, was kind en

The water rapidly hit the rocks in a narrow stream. I watched it continuously flow. Nature is truly a miracle and the best way to refresh your mind. However, nothing can ease the anxiety of a current challenge. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ophelia had said about not seeing a trapped child there. The war that was soon to come entailed death and imprisonment. What would I choose for my aunt when I wasn’t sure about her sins? Punishing an innocent would eat me up alive. There had to be a solution.“There is, Cass,” Desmond spoke. For the past five minutes, gushing water was the only sound around us. “I brought you here to clear your mind. Don’t punish yourself because of Jane.”With a lowered head, I walked up to Desmond. “I am sorry. Don’t you find this extremely troubling?”“No.” Desmond shook his head. “Because the solution is obvious.”“Which is what?” I said, desperate for anything.“Jane hasn’t given us any proof of her innocence. We don’t trust anyone,” Desmond began. I wa

I put a hand over my eyes, knowing very well that I could only conceal my face and not my thoughts from the two demons around me. How could I control my thoughts? For us humans, our minds and social media are the only two places to criticize safely.It was so unfair to have that taken away from you. I wished for the ground beneath to swallow me to save everyone from further embarrassment.“But I didn’t say anything, mother,” said Desmond. He must be trying to divert her attention from me. My boyfriend was very forgiving of my insulting thoughts. Was his mother the same?The lady opened her eyes to reveal the most striking golden eyes. The color was similar to Desmond’s siren irises, but they lacked the glow and appeared more natural. Her overall look reminded me of Rose from Titanic. She had red hair with the fairest skin and an elegant fashion sense.“You know I have a gift for this. You were about to introduce this beautiful human girl to me as your partner,” she spoke with a toothy

It was finally happening. Desmond’s tongue was so deep in my mouth that I could feel us becoming one. I didn’t want it to end. My mind couldn’t help but compare the kiss to the one I had shared with Charles. Kissing Charles was slobbery and warm. Whereas kissing Desmond was discovering infinite pleasures within your mouth while losing all control and touch with your surroundings. My feelings for my demon were just as massive as the difference between the two make-out sessions, which amplified the bliss even more.I liked how one of Desmond’s hands was still on my boob. He had already helped me explore the pleasures of my body in countless ways. Yet, I still wanted more. Not even an eternity locked and lost in his body could quench my thirst for him. I was addicted to him.Desmond’s hands traveled around my body, searching for more to grab and feel. With the same intention, I unzipped his jacket and slipped my hands underneath his shirt, feeling his soft skin and ripped body.“Cass, s

My eyes dropped to Desmond’s mouth, desperately waiting for a yes to come out of there. We had been apart for far too long, and only a few days away from him had felt like a million years of torture.All of Desmond’s lies and mistakes were forgiven and forgotten. His unusual appearance and true self became a part of me. Nothing mattered in that moment. My aching heart only sought solace in the man before me. He was the one. He had always been the one. The moment he walked into my life, no other man interested me. My knight in shining armor was perfect. His horns, wings, and tail were a bonus, not an unholy defect or curse. I wholeheartedly accepted and loved him exactly the way he was.Desmond was testing my patience with his silence. Deliberately, I filled my mind with passionate thoughts, letting him know how every inch of me longed for him. I could see the result of my experiment in his eyes. They looked back at me with amazement and a yearning more intense than mine.“Are you su

Standing close to the guest room window, I felt the chilly city air fan my face. Without a blanket over my shoulders, I would freeze to death. I watched the sparkling city lights and the never-ending sounds. It was two in the morning, and the streets were full of life. I would have found the scene enjoyable if my mind wasn’t troubled by a hundred different emotions.Thanks to Becky for having a three-bedroom apartment so I could have a separate guest room. That day’s events were bizarre and too overwhelming. My mind was all over the place, and I needed time to rearrange my thoughts and think of my next step.“Can I come inside?” Desmond knocked at the ajar door.“Yes, please,” I said, repositioning my blanket more fashionably. The most dominant thoughts in my mind were about Desmond. There was so much that needed to be said.Desmond walked inside, closing the door behind him. My eyes remained glued to the window. I could hear him slowly approaching me. There was tension and hesitation

Panic took over me when I heard footfalls for the third time. The first two times, it was Becky, but the steps felt heavier that time. I huffed and closed my hands into tight fists, almost piercing my skin with my sharp nails.“Cass, we’re back,” Desmond’s voice confirmed my fear.I turned around with partially opened eyes, prepared to face the wrath of my mother. Mom was unconscious in Desmond’s arms, and Becky was shocked beyond words.“Oh my God!” Becky’s jaw was almost touching the floor, and her eyes were twitching in a concerning way. “Am I magic now? Do the rules of the real world apply to me anymore, or am I now a boundless spirit floating in this never-ending universe we call life?”“None of that. You flew here at an extraordinary speed with me. The rules remain the same.” Desmond burst Becky’s bubble.Becky stared at Desmond like he was an alien or an unbelievable illusion. “I still can’t believe you are real. Cassidy must be hallucinating. He can’t be that good-looking and
