The Lost Angel

Chapter 14

Our rooms at headquarters were bare with only a bed and bathroom. I noticed that someone had laid training clothes out for me and Jeremy when I passed the bathroom. I didn’t care about anything else but the bed. As soon as I reached it, I collapsed on the uncomfortable mattress with a sigh. It had been a long day so even this bed felt like heaven. The day was far from over but I would give just about anything to finally rest.

I became aware of eyes running along my body at the same time I remembered the man who had followed me. It was time for answers and, whether he wanted to or not, he was going to give them to me. It wouldn’t be hard to make my voice weary and aggravated. I sighed again and sat up.

“I think that now it’s time for answers. Let’s start with who you seem to think I am and go from there.”

“Well, chere, that’s not what I had in mind. However, I’ll tell you what I know but you have to do the same. What I think is that you are a kinetic wicca who became lost. You don’t use or seem to know about your powers so you either lost them or you’re a really low level. Judging by the shock we received earlier, I’d guess it was the former rather than latter. So, what happened to you should be the question.” His voice and face became arrogant as he spoke the next words. “Since you don’t know who I am then your memory must be lacking. Otherwise, you wouldn’t let me near you. Anything else you want to know beautiful?”

All of his words sunk in and hit me hard. “Could you find out who I am?”

The hope and pain in my voice was as clear as the pain on my face and in my eyes. Above all else I wanted to know who I was and where I came from. The unknown past has haunted me and caused a lot of grief and pain. If I could just catch a glimmer of my past then I might become whole, instead of one half in shadows and the other in the light.

Jeremy wasn’t expecting the display of such pain. His expression went from smug arrogance to total pity. I normally hated that look since people gave that look when they heard my story. For some reason it didn’t bother me from this man. He could possibly help me recover myself and shed light on my past. That might be why I didn’t mind it so much.

“That explains everything, how you don’t know what I am and why you don’t use your powers. I’m so sorry chere. I don’t know anything yet. My kind doesn’t really talk to yours but I know some people. I’ll do what I can to help you recover yourself or find out any information to guide you to the right source. I give you my word.” He was sincere and fierce with his words. I believed he was telling the truth.

“Thank you. I’ve been without memories for years now. You can’t imagine the frustration I feel every day, trying to catch a glimmer of my past. I don’t even know my real name,” I laughed but it sounded sad. “Someone called me the Angel of Death, so everyone started to call me Angel. It kind of stuck.”

Jeremy sat next to me and caressed my cheek. He maneuvered my face so he could stare into my eyes. I looked into his eyes for what seemed like a lifetime. I could see into his soul after a time. Images flashed through my mind like a movie on fast forward. Watching everything fly by was starting to make me dizzy because I couldn’t focus on anything. Then it all stopped upon a forest of redwoods that felt older than time itself. In the middle of this forest were two halves of a whole, the wild and ferocious chocolate brown wolf and the calm and charming man. As I watched they melted together to create a magnificent creature, charming and caring yet intense and untamed.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, could that be part of my unknown abilities. It had never happened before but maybe it was because I hadn’t run into to anyone with magic before. I was about to ask when the familiar form of lust crept into his eyes. It was at this time that my body reminded me of the release I had been craving. Jeremy must have noticed the heat filling my eyes and the lust growing in my body. His eyes started to dilate until I could barely see the green in them. ‘Another time’ was now.

“Just tell me no chere and I’ll walk away.”

He was still trying to give me a way out. I vaguely lingered on why he would try to give me an out. Then my hormones took over and I couldn’t think of anything but skin on skin. He didn’t understand that I couldn’t take another hit and run. My body had been teased too many times today and was not going to let it happen again. I needed to touch and be touched. His hand fell away when I didn’t answer right away. I stood allowing my fingers to once again find the hem of my shirt. I pulled both over my head and tossed them away. Unlike the moment in the plane, he watched me disrobe with his hands fisting the sheets on the bed. Taking a couple of steps back the skirt, I wore fell to the floor. I smiled as my boots followed then the garter belt and thigh highs.

“Chere? Are you sure?”

“Stop asking silly questions Wolfie.” I gave him a mischievous smile as he growled low in his throat.

A devilish smile washed over his face and he rushed toward me. I held my ground since, like me, he was a predator and you can’t show fear or they lose complete control. He moved faster than a normal being and pinned me to the wall behind me before I could breathe or cry out. I groaned in pleasure as his bare chest slid along my bra. Every muscle was clearly defined and at the moment having all that beautiful skin against mine made me crazy with need. Finding purchase on his shoulders, I felt his muscles move as his hands slid to my hips. I gasped as I felt pressure and heard a rip, my shorts were ruined but I didn’t care.

If anyone interrupted us now, they were dead. His fingers slid along my left hip to my waiting s*x. A moan formed in my throat but as it slid over my tongue Jeremy’s lips met mine. The unvoiced moan came out muffled but I heard him groan in response. His tongue snaked out and flicked against my lips. It was a demand and yet still a question to allow him in. My lips opened and our kiss deepened allowing his tongue to spar with mine. The sensation of his tongue warring with mine and his clever fingers circling the bundle of nerves between my thighs almost did me in. Waves of pleasure started in my lower abdomen and washed all the way to my limbs.

Unconsciously, my thighs opened farther to give him better access. I felt his fingers slid to my entrance as his other hand slid to the small of my back. I shivered as he slid a finger in, thrust once then add a second. He found the sweet spot deep inside of me and brushed it skillfully until I moaned into his mouth. He broke the kiss and groaned in frustration.

“Awe baby you feel so hot and tight. I can’t wait to slide my c**k in here. Would you like that chere?” His voice came out hoarse and raw with lust. I could vaguely make out an accent that he had been suppressing but my body was warring with my mind and I couldn’t place it.

“Jeremy, yes, please, don’t stop.” My voice came out passion laden.

Without another word he withdrew his fingers and I whimpered. He had pushed me so close to climax then denied it. He just smiled and picked me up then threw me onto the awaiting bed. I watched as he undid his pants allowing them to pool on the floor before kicking them away. He was gorgeous with clothes on but finally seeing him nude almost made me swallow my tongue. I stared with open appreciation at everything he was blessed with. My eyes slid along his body admiring every definition to his muscles until finally settling on his c**k. If I was ready before then I was completely and totally eager now. He climbed onto the bed and slid up my body. I propped up on my forearms to remove the only bit of cloth still adorning my body. Pushing my hand away, he undid the hooks on my bra with one hand and removed it as I lay back down.

He kissed me after throwing my bra away. It was less controlled from before and fiercer. I could feel the head of his c**k at my opening and moved my hips as an invitation. One hand held my hips in place as his forearm rested next to my head. He broke the kiss to look into my eyes. There was doubt in his gaze for a moment then he began the slow slide into my body. I could feel every glorious inch stretching my muscles, bringing a gasp from my lips. Once he was completely sheathed inside of me, he waited for my body to accommodate what the Lord and Lady blessed him with.

He leaned in for another kiss and began to thrust slowly. It was driving me mad that I couldn’t move my hips as he went this slow and steady. My hands stroked along his back and arm begging for more.

He groaned, barely breaking the kiss to speak. “You feel so amazing baby, I’m not going to last very long.”

Neither was I but I couldn’t speak at the moment. My world had just become sensations. Jeremy adjusted his hips which caused him to hit the same spot he found before with every thrust. I bit my lip as he increased the speed of his thrusts. The pressure began to build as I floated on the edge of a powerful climax. I moaned and he increased his speed again pushing me right on the edge. I felt the waves of pleasure start to pour over me softly. Jeremy could sense my impending orgasm as my moans and sighs filled the air around us. With a knowing look in his eyes, he thrust once more into the heart of me hard and fast. My back arched into Jeremy as my orgasm crashed into me stealing my senses and shattering my world. I vaguely thought I heard him groan my name but I couldn’t be sure.

I felt him collapse on top of me breathing heavily. My senses were slowly returning but I didn’t want to move from this bed. The aftershocks of my climax rolled through my body slowly while I tried to open my eyes. I wondered vaguely whether my orgasm would have been that powerful if I wouldn’t have been teased all day.

We lay tangled together for a moment breathing heavily. When I opened my eyes, Jeremy was staring at me with regret in his. Confusion clouded my mind and shone on my face. That was amazing and one of the best orgasms I’ve ever had. He shut his eyes and rolled off of me, heading into the bathroom. What the hell? We both wanted this and were more than capable of making our own decisions. Maybe he didn’t regret the s*x just the person he had it with. The thought made anger flare in my stomach. I bolted from the bed toward him forgetting that my limbs were still trying to remember how to work.

“What the hell Jeremy? What’s the regret for? The s*x or the person you had it with?” Anger laced my words like a snake ready to strike.

“Chere, I do regret having s*x with you but it’s not what you think.” He sounded miserable.

“Fine then you explain it to me. I’m a big girl and can handle the reason. But don’t think that you need to spare my feeling buddy.” He turned to face me and my anger. If he knew me better then he would be cowering in a corner instead of facing me. I could see pain and confusion in his eyes as he attempted to explain his reasons to me.

“I don’t regret that it was you because I want you more than anything. Even now I still want you and I just had you. But my kind and your kind are forbidden to be together. It’s a high punishment for both parties involved and can include death. I can handle whatever punishment they deal out to me but not to you. I couldn’t forgive myself if something happened to you because I couldn’t control myself.”

Shock washed through my body at the declaration. “So, you’re upset because you think we’d get into some kind of trouble for what just happened? How would anyone find out first of all and second why do they care?”

“Well, there was a couple before that was like us and they had a child. Before the child could grow into adulthood, he became convinced that we should rule the world. It took his parents and both group of elders to take him down. But before he died, he caused a lot of destruction. It started witch trials and the extermination of hundreds of wolves. Both the wiccans and lycans agreed that it couldn’t happen again. They decreed that no matter the cost that a pairing between the two kinds could not happen. We’re in hiding because we can’t handle another incident. Our numbers on both sides are too few to go up against the human world. Do you understand now?” He only answered one of my questions.

“I understand about being in hiding and what happened in the past but I don’t know who or what I am at the moment so how could we get into any kind of trouble. You don’t even know who I am yet so they can’t hold that against you either. Let’s just put this on the back burner for now and get a shower. I want to meet up with my crew and maybe train a little until the lock down is over. Then we’ll work on your fears and regret.” I would make him regret not giving me a complete answer later.

Jeremy waited until I was out of the shower before he got in, much to my dismay. He didn’t so much as glance in my direction. I didn’t hear a lie in what he said so why was he acting so strange. Well, if he wanted to act childish then I’d let him do it. I dressed and braided my hair in two braids while he took his time in the shower. Someone had left us sneakers as well as the clothes, I wondered how they knew his size. Not the right place for my mind to wander to. The shower turned off as I berated myself for thinking about his clothes and then what he looked like without them. I picked up the discarded clothes from around the room and placed them on the bed. My bra was back in place but the underwear was in the trash.

I was standing by the bed survey the room when Jeremy emerged from the bathroom. I must have been concentrating on my task because he was fully dressed and still not looking at me. My anger crept back like a long-lost pet. I did my best to sound bored instead of pissed off.

“Ready? We’ll pick up my crew on the way.” Mentally I patted myself on the back, I sounded bored to tears.

I don’t know if it was my tone of voice or the words, I spoke but he finally looked at me. His eyes were hard and his body was tense. It made me uncomfortable as he stared. It felt as if I was stripped bare under his intense gaze, almost as if he could see into my soul. I knew he would follow me so I turned to leave. I barely made it to the door when I heard him move. Before I could turn around, he was there pinning me face first into the door. Damn he moved quick.

“How can I let you leave when you look positively delectable chere?” His lips brushed my ear as he growled the words low.

Suppressing a shiver and switching gears in my mind was difficult. My surprise came out in my voice, “you are completely confusing. First you regret touching me and avoid even looking at me. You act like you’ll never touch me again. And now you’re acting like you can’t get enough of me. I honestly don’t know where I stand with you.”

“I can’t get enough of you. All I want to do is touch you any and every way you like. I want to lock this door and explore every inch of your body. I want to make love to you over and over again until you beg me to stop then start from the beginning again. That’s the problem, I can never have you the way I want or the way you deserve. It’s forbidden and I won’t risk your life to have you in my bed for any amount of time. It’s the worst kind of torture to have you so close to me and not be able to have you.” I could tell he spoke the truth. The agony in his words made my heart clench.

It was a strange thing. I barely knew him but it felt like he was meant to be mine. I didn’t know what to do. For the first time in my short life, I had someone who wanted me as much as I wanted them but I couldn’t have him. He wouldn’t let me be with him no matter how I tried to rationalize it. His fear was an effective barrier between us. I knew I couldn’t make him see reason and give himself over to me. I’d have to find another way to make him mine.

“I guess that makes sense even if I don’t understand it. Um, let’s go find my crew and try to work off the tension. I guess we can figure out what we’re going to do about us later.” My voice was shaking but strong.

Before releasing me, he nuzzled my neck and inhaled. I heard him groan as his hands trailed along my body to let me go. I opened the door after stealing myself and took off to find my crew. We needed to work off the s****l tension between us before we drove each other insane.
