Harlee POV
"Oh my God-it spoke to you!" Ash exclaimed, grabbing my waist. I've never had that happen! Of course all mine have been Demons through and through, but yeah, the way it heals and the way it touched your mind-it's a Nephilim alright!" Ash twisted my hips into a slight dance happily, hugging me, then spinning me around.
"We're gonna have a pet Angel baby!" Ash crowed.
"Pet?!" I growled.
"Half Angel, Fallen." Zeev reminded us solemnly.
"But it's a Nephilim, which means it won't need souls right?" I grabbed Zeev's hands, he was still on his knees in front of me.
"Most likely not." He answered softly and I stood again, kissing the top of his head. He grabbed me around the waist and placed his forehead against my midriff. Truthfully, he seemed almost upset by the news. I frowned.
"Zeev?" I asked him gently.
"Let's get you cleaned up." He said quietly, standing to pull me towards the bathroom.
Zeev tugged my shirt up over my head and unhooked my bra as he waited for the water to warm up in the tap. His fingers found the waistband of my pants mechanically and I stopped him.
"Zeev-what's wrong?" I asked him. He didn't look at me so I tugged his face towards me. It was full of heartbreak. "Zeev?!" I immediately reached out through our link in a panic.
"No, stop, Harlee. I'll tell you. I'm just worried about the repercussions of this." Zeev tugged my pants down.
"What do you mean?" I asked, holding his shoulders for balance as I stepped out of them. He looked at me with anguished eyes.
"I never considered it would be a Nephilim! Harlee, Angels are forbidden to have children with humans. Nephilim are hunted down and destroyed. I stupidly thought that since I had Fallen it would prevent our children from being anything but Cambions, and we'd deal with any soul eating as they grew. But no, I failed to take into consideration that a new soul could possible reactivate the Grace within whatever piece of me I gave you and now.." Zeev slammed his fist against the bathroom cabinet beside him and it broke.
"Woah! Ok first: Don't abuse my house! Second: is that what you're worried about? Heaven is already hunting us. Did you really think that it would matter what our children were? They will still be put in the line of fire-it's just our job to protect them until they can protect themselves, or Heaven gives up. Whichever." I shrugged. Zeev looked at me with shock.
"Why does this not bother you?" Zeev asked. I pulled on his arms and he stood from the floor.
"Because we'll handle it. There are three of us now. Plus Josh. Look how you guys took down that last Angel together. It's getting easier because we have each other and we're working together. We'll be ok." I bumped my forehead against his chest. "Also, I'm really hungry-will you cook for me later?" Zeev laughed a full, loud laugh that echoed around the bathroom.
Zeev POV
I gently washed the blood from Harlee's hands and arms, then moved on to where it had splattered on her face and neck. I ran my hands over her torso and stopped at her waist. She put her hands on mine.
"Are you sure?" I looked at her. "Can we really handle this?" I asked her doubtfully. Harlee looked at me with a smile.
"Look at the big, bad Fallen Angel worrying now of all times. It wasn't that long ago you were offering to tear the world apart for me or sacrifice your life. Have you given up already?" Harlee replied.
"No." I growled.
"Then we can do it." She said simply and leaned up to kiss me, placing her hands on my cheeks. I picked her up roughly and deepened the kiss, allowing my tongue to explore her mouth. She moaned.
"Let me rinse off first, and let's get out of here. Plus, there's still a mess in the kitchen.." Harlee murmured.
"Ash has cleaned it." I responded, kissing her again. "But yes, rinse first, then bed." I kissed her again and switched places with her, though I couldn't keep my hands off her, stepping up behind her to feel her body against mine as I ran my hands along her soft skin. I rubbed my hips against her, running my hands up to her breasts and she let out a gasp.
"I'm almost done, could you wait one more minute you impatient blasted Demon?" She muttered.
"No." I growled against her neck, nipping her earlobe and promptly stepping us to the bedroom.
"We're wet!" She squealed as I pushed her forward onto the bed.
"Sheets can be changed." I replied through gritted teeth. I felt like I hadn't taken Harlee in so long. I wasn't sure how much longer I could wait. I pushed her thighs apart with my knee.
"What about Ash-they can hear everything! I feel so guilty!" Harlee objected. I let my hands wander between her legs and she gasped again.
"Don't blame me for you refusing to use your Bonded Incubus for the purpose in which they were intended." I answered, running my tongue along the back of her neck. Harlee shivered.
"Is that-really how you two see it?" Harlee panted.
"I mean, yeah. Incubi are meant for one thing." I slipped a finger inside her and Harlee shuddered. "Which is why I got so jealous." Another finger and I began to move them. Harlee squealed under her breath and tensed up. I let my other hand wander forward to rub and she suddenly twitched, jerking away like she'd been shocked. I growled my approval, nipping at her shoulder blade and did the same motion again. She jerked forward again, arching her back and I could feel the extra wetness around my fingers. I lowered my lips to her thighs and licked up the excess, which had her moaning and crying out pitifully. I couldn't take it anymore myself and stood up swiftly to enter her. I wanted to just slam our bodies together, but remembered the last time I had tried the slow approach and how much more she had enjoyed it, so I started by slowly pushing myself inward and Harlee screamed outright, trying to thrust herself backwards on me, but I gripped her thighs, holding her in place.
"Zeev, please!" She cried out as I kept my pace slow. The sound of her voice set me off, along with her struggling, so I grabbed her hips to me, ramming myself in as far as I would go, pulling her nearly upright while I gently rubbed between her thighs. I thrust as powerfully as I could, feeling my Demon features beginning to show uncontrollably. I loosened my grip as my talons came out. My eyes and teeth changed and I had to be careful about accidentally nicking Harlee. I felt the feathers begin to sprout along my back before my wings burst forth with a loud flumph. I bent Harlee over the bed and bore down on her as more of my body tried to lose shape. I moved faster, growling, trying to hold onto my human Form.
Harlee POV
The scent of Zeev's wings hit me at about the same time I heard them appear, right before his heavy weight was pressing me over the edge of the bed. I knew I was making a lot of noise, but I couldn't help it. I felt Zeev's body shifting and he started to lose contact with me as a human, his hands shifting to smoke to talon to smoke again as he grabbed my wrists. Strangely though, he didn't frighten me. Even when he started to growl and his body took on more Demonic features, it just turned me on even further. I cried out and arched against him. Zeev's teeth grazed the back of my neck and I shuddered hard. I felt his body vibrating and the pressure of him inside me increased. My body clenched up and I could feel myself clamping down on him inside. Zeev trembled, his movements becoming less controlled. I couldn't control myself either, and climaxed, muscles shaking while I screamed, losing all strength in my body. Zeev caught me before I could fall, his growl had turned to a snarl when I had climaxed and I felt him shake as well on his release, the hot pulse of him inside me and then suddenly there was a crack and the full heavy weight of his Demon Form was on me. I definitely had a new kink, but I wasn't sure how he'd feel about it.
"Zeev, are you ok?" I asked breathlessly as he rolled over, pulling me onto his feathered belly.
"Yeah, just got too excited." Zeev replied. His voice sounded extremely embarrassed.
"I am embarrassed!" He answered my thoughts "I'm a freaking Fallen Angel! I don't have trouble controlling my Form! I'm more disciplined than that!" He huffed. I felt the feathers melt away and it was Zeev in his human Form once more.
"Is this like Demon E.D.?" I joked. and Zeev growled.
"It's more like a recovering addict's overdose." Zeev said softly.
"What do you mean?" I asked him curiously, letting my fingers trace the veins in his arms. Blood didn't truly flow in these veins, but the heart still beat and the illusion persisted.
"I CRAVE you Harlee. Ash feels it too. At first I blamed it on the fact that I couldn't get the rest of your soul. Then the fact that our Bond wasn't balanced properly. But now.. now I realize, you're like a drug to us. We exist for you now, and it's an obsessive NEED to be close to you. For a touch, a word, a look, anything.. Bringing you happiness and pleasure-it's like the greatest hit of endorphins ever." Zeev blew out an unsteady breath.
"This is one reason why I've been having my internal dilemma about whether my feelings for you are genuine. Am I just doing what I've been 'programmed' to?" Zeev had covered his eyes with an arm. I kissed his chest and ran my fingers across his full lower lip.
"In the end-isn't that all any of are doing? My DNA is genetic 'programming' that I'm forced to follow every day. But Zeev, you forgot that I can see inside your mind. Inside you soul. You LOVE. You love deeply and powerfully. You always have, but now you are capable of loving so much more, because of this.." I laid a hand on his chest to indicate the soul fragment. "..and because you've changed. You've rewritten your own coding, how many times now? Be proud of yourself. I know I am." I kissed him softly, but he grabbed me and pulled me to him tighter. I pushed him back against the bed and straddled him. "My turn." I grinned.
"Wait." Zeev grabbed my wrists with a pained expression. "I really think.. you should spend some time with Ash." Zeev swallowed hard as if the words choked him.
