Angel's Arrow

First Kiss

Sly had spent the night with Amy on the lounge watching whatever crap came on the TV. Lexi had just gone back to work and he had to leave as well. Amy's ankle was getting better but she had been told by both siblings not to go exploring again until it no longer hurt. Reluctantly, she had agreed. Sly was heading out but the second he opened the door, he reconsidered. On the other side was a pretty boy dressed in a hoodie and faded jeans with his hand raised to knock. “Hi.” Kynan was surprised by the massive man standing in front of him. Kynan was six foot one and this guy towered over him with a scary look in his eyes.

“Can I help you?” He had a voice like Ryan's, all doom and destruction. His soul read dark and fierce but not evil. Kynan regained his head and took a casual yet confident stance.

“I think I might have left my phone here yesterday.”

“Kynan?” Sly spat his name as if it tasted horrible on his tongue.

“Um yeah.” Sly crossed his arms and glared down at him.

“Hi Kynan!” Amy appeared behind the large man. Kynan could barely see her around the guy. He couldn't stop the smile that formed on his face. She seemed so excited to see him. “It's okay Sly.” She told the big guy. “Go to work I'll be fine. Kynan will keep me company won't you Kynan?” She disappeared from the doorway and headed to the kitchen. Sly bent down to shove his face into Kynan's. It was all Kynan could do to keep from blasting lightning in the dude's face.

“Touch her and die.” He growled before pushing past Kynan. Pissed off, Kynan stepped into the apartment and followed after Amy. She was in the kitchen putting the kettle on.

“Look, I really can't stay. I just came to get my phone.”

“Oh. Okay.” He couldn't see her face but he could hear the disappointment in her voice. Amy pulled the phone out of the back pocket of her jeans and handed it to him. When her fingers brushed his, the lovely tingling was back. Amy sucked in a surprised breath and her big eyes widened on his.

“Are you okay.” Kynan asked concerned. Could she sense what he was?

“Fine.” She said somewhat breathlessly. He reached out with his other hand and brushed a lock of her hair from her face. Her skin hummed under the contact. “My skin sings when you touch it.” She admitted. Both of Kynan's eyebrows rose.

“Really?” He was amused by her. No one had ever told him that their skin sang before. He move the hand touching hers to her wrist. She nodded her head to tell him it still tingled. His other hand cupped her face and as he stepped into him, her whole body began to hum.

“It's like a light tingling felling all over.” She said softly. Kynan looked into her eyes and a playful smile appeared on his face before he lent in and put his lips to hers. Amy moaned at the sensation. It was like her entire body was coming to life and all she needed to sustain her were Kynan's lips. His hands roamed over her back and pulled her in closer. He had never felt this attracted to a woman before. It felt like if he let go, he'd be ripping away part of himself. He needed to be closer to her. Kynan danced his tongue along her lips until she parted them for him. He explored her mouth while he dropped a hand to her butt and ground his growing erection into her hip. His other hand buried itself into her hair and his thumb stroked her cheek. She moaned again and he went crazy for it. He shoved her up against the refrigerator, desperate to keep her as close as possible. His hand moved from the back of her jeans to the front where he slid his hand under her shirt and started moving it upwards towards her breasts. Faster than he could have thought, Amy had pushed him away and bolted for the bathroom door. Kynan was left standing in the kitchen alone, wishing he had worn looser pants.

Amy was hyperventilating in the bathroom. That kiss had been amazing and Kynan definitely wanted to take it further. But she couldn't let him. Amy looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw a hint of her Ree marks under her smudged make-up. This wasn't fair! Had she been human or born without the marks she could be out there getting naked with Kynan instead of freaking out in the bathroom. She lifted her shirt and cursed at the markings on both hips. They ran along her shoulders and spine too making sure she could never wear a bikini or any sort of swimwear really. She hated her marks, cursed every swirling little grey spot. Including the single one on the inside of her right ankle that was the sole reason she always wore socks or pantihose. Kynan knocked on the door. “Amy, are you okay?” No she wasn't. She didn't answer him, just started fixing the make-up on her face. “Look I'm really sorry I acted like that. I don't know what happened, I'm not usually like that.” Well sometimes he was but that was because he was with woman who wanted it. Clearly, Amy did not. “I'll just leave.” He told her through the door.

“No!” She didn't want him to leave. “I just got a little light headed was all. We were too carried away and I forgot to breath.” It wasn't exactly a lie, she had been breathless. There was no response from the other side of the door. Amy flung open the door to find Kynan was gone. He'd left so quickly, she hadn't even heard the front door. Damn it! She cursed herself and her markings. Tears sprang into her eyes and before she could stop herself, Amy was crying. She felt the loneliness in her heart growing as she let lose her tears. It wasn't fair. All she wanted was to be normal.

Lexi came home from a long day at work bar tending to be ambushed at the door by her little sister Amy. Lexi's exhaustion vanished when she saw her sister had been crying. Someone was going to die tonight.

The pair were sitting on the squishy lounge cupping hot mugs of tea in their hands. “Amy you have to tell me what happened eventually. You can't just keep crying.” Amy shifted in her seat nervously.

“You know that guy Kynan I told you about?”

“What did he do!” Lexi demanded, splashing hot tea into her lap. She didn't seem to notice it.

“Nothing!” Amy said quickly to stop her sister's murderous thoughts. “Well, he kissed me.”

“He kissed you? What a jerk!”

“It was nice.” Amy insisted. “Really nice. In fact, it was so good I wanted more. It was like my whole body was humming and tingling all over.”

“Wow, before he got into your pants, that's impressive.” Lexi took a sip of her tea while playfully eyeing her sister.

“Oh, Lexi it was amazing. But I freaked out when he slipped his hand under my shirt.”

“That Bastard!”

“No, no, I wanted him too. But then I remembered my marks. I freaked out and locked myself in the bathroom. He apologized for getting so carried away and before I could tell him it wasn't his fault he'd left.” Tears appeared in her eyes again.

“Oh honey, I'm so sorry.” She brought Amy in for a hug and put her mug down so she could wrap her sister in her arms. “You might see him again.” She suggested.

“I doubt it. He'll probably avoid me from now on. I didn't even get his number so I can apologize.”

“You don't need to apologize.” Lexi insisted. “Besides how cute can he really be? I bet there's tons of great looking guys out there who would love to date you.”

“He was really cute, Lexi. You should have seen how gorgeous he was.”

“Did you take a picture?” Amy's face scrunched up as she thought.

“No.” Lexi was surprised she had taken a photo of everything except a sexy guy. “But I got one of his butt.” Lexi didn't miss a beat.

“Show me.” Amy got up to retrieve her camera. After flicking through a bunch of photos she found the one of Kynan's butt and showed it to her sister. Lexi made a sound of appreciation then her mouth dropped open in true comical fashion. “Oh my gods.” Her shocked blue eyes turned to her sister. “You made out with an angel.”

An angel. A f*****g angel. Amy could barely believe it. She had come up against one of the most vicious creatures known to demon kind and she'd kissed him. She nearly slept with him. “Oh my gods. Lexi, if I hadn't broken that kiss, I could be dead right now.” Angels were known to kill anything non-human they came across. Even Weres weren't safe from them, and they were part human. If he had seen even one of her marks and recognized her for what she was, he would have killed her. Lexi snapped up her phone and started dialing. “Who are you calling?” Amy asked, still in a whirlwind of internal panic.

“Nancy and Juliet. We're angel proofing the apartment.”

“But what if he doesn't come back? I mean I made a huge mess out of it all.” Which had actually turned out to be a good thing.

“Not worth the risk.” Lexi declared while dialing. Nancy picked up on the fifth ring. “Nance, it's Lexi. I need your butt over here right now. Amy got herself an angel problem.”

“How the hell did little Amy manage that?”

“Hey!” Amy reacted to the mentioning of her smaller height. Her and Sadie had always been much smaller than their other siblings but, in human standards they were an average five foot four.

“Never mind how. Just get your butt over here and bring Juliet. Oh, and The Princess Diaries, we might as well make a girls night out of this.” Lexi hung up the phone and started rummaging through her cupboards for popcorn. Honestly Amy wasn't the only one who found focusing on one thing at a time difficult. Although for Lexi it was more like she got bored rather than distracted.
