The lord of desires

Chapter 3

“Lonely Night"

"urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Damon groaned. He felt uneasy "what's wrong with me today?" He paced back and forth in his enormous Room.

With a whoosh he appeared at the posh palace diner. His father looked at him. "You don't look so well D" said Lydia his second mother with a grin.

"Shut up" he hissed. Damon despised his second mother as she was the reason for his first mother's death.

His father Incubus watched the two begin an argument as usual.

"Enough!!!" He yelled with his horns becoming visible. "Why can't you both enjoy a single meal without arguments and fights? I will not tolerate such from either of you again. This is your last warning"

"tell your b***h here to mind her shitty business and leave others out of it" Damon said losing his appetite

"I'm out" and he vanished into thin air

"Why does today feel so weird and uncomfortable? I have walked the entire earth and still nothing interests me, he decided to wander to and fro the earth with hopes of finding something interesting.

Just then he heard light singing coming from the Bells forest. It was the sweetest tune he had ever heard

He closed in for a closer look at what creature was singing so harmoniously.

He came toward the cottage and saw the prettiest woman he had ever laid his eyes on she was brown skinned, her eyes were ocean view. Her long dark curls swayed in the wind as she sang cheerfully. She was tall and perfectly built with all the curves in the right places.

Damon watched her in silence. He wondered why he was never able to smell the desires of this beauty. The full moon dazzled and Angelica danced gracefully to her own music. Goosebumps appeared on his skin and he shivered. He had seen a lot of girls, pretty ones, women, curvy Latinas and shapely blacks. Be had heard many women sing too but none had ever moved him the way this one seemed to.

The voice reminded him of his beloved Mother Venus who was poisoned right under his nose by his second mother Lydia (succubus) who was jealous of her because she stole both his attention and his father's love.

Damon decided to remain invisible and not cause commotion.He tip toed further towards her just to admire her even more. His ears tingled and his cheeks flushed. His deep blue eyes had turned sea green and his pupils dilated.

He stood there for a long time just watching how she passionately sang and danced. He took note of all her body features and registered her scent in his head. Hours passed and he decided to let her be.

Damon couldn't sleep. He went to the wine bar and took out a glass of wine. Who was this angel he had just seen?

He fantasized all day and night everyday about her.

It became his habit to visit her cottage every single day remaining invisible.

There's just this something, this one thing about her that drives him crazy. In fact he had given up most of his desires sniffing time just to watch her. Occasionally he watched her have some father-daughter time and silently wished he was part of this little family. Now the Lord of desires had a desire.... Who would fulfill it and give him what he wanted??.

All the while Damon watched Angelica, he kept his distance and stayed invisible.

Today he decided to not watch her from such a far distance after all she couldn't see him.

So he went into the kitchen where she was making a porridge and sat on the table top. He watched how she made her porridge effortlessly as she put in every ingredient at just the right moment. The aroma was glorious.

Angelica turned over to where he was sitting and came face to face with him. Initially he wasn't bothered as he was sure he was invisible. He admired her eyes and perfect lips for a moment until he snapped back into reality when he heard her say something.

"Uhm hello, I don't mean to bother you, but can you please move? I want to get the chili"

Whattttttttttt!!!??? How could she see him??. He had been invisible all this time. Damon was beyond shocked. He moved a little and she took the chilli.

"You finally came closer today" she smiled warmly offering him some porridge. "I'm Angelica by the way. It's finally nice to see you up close. I was beginning to wonder when you'll come talk to me”

He became dumbfounded, he was pretty sure that he was invisible throughout the times he visited her. How then could she see him?? He wondered.

Angelica broke the silence again "you don't seem to talk much, do you?"

"Well hello, I'm Damon" he said shyly "nice to meet you too"

She smiled and clapped cheerfully and soon they started conversing. He even ate her porridge which tasted deliciously in his mouth if not the best food he has ever tasted.

Damon finally went back home. He twirled and danced excitedly. He played his favourite music, bathed his most expensive soap and wore the brightest smile. Palace guards, maidens and both his parents knew Damon was in a happy mood.

Time gradually went by and Damon started falling in love with Angelica for the very first time. Neither any of their families knew what was going on between them but they had suspicions.

Esteban had noticed how Angelica strayed from the cottage occasionally. He began to suspect she was planning something since she was so full of surprises but his anxiety slowly started creeping in. What if she had met another human? What if she had wandered beyond the forest and seen the big city of Las Vegas? Or has her mother come to find her?

There were so many thoughts clouding Esteban's head.... He had no idea what was going on with his beautiful daughter. He decided to keep an eye on her and follow her whenever she strayed beyond her boundaries.
