Kira's P.O.V
I cannot be certain how long we were waiting, but all of us, minus Heath and Sybil were– in the living room. Sybil turning out to be a siren was not what I expected. When I saw her enter the water, I wasn't sure what to make of it all. It wasn't until Boa whispered the word 'siren' that I understood. Everything after that just clicked into place. By the time I worked out everything, Sybil had almost pulled Heath under the water. It isn't rocket science, however him being a fire demon, tells me he shouldn't be near water. Sybil tossing Heath told even me that she is able to control herself.
Boa paced slightly in front of the fireplace. I watched him with each step that he took. I stepped towards him and put a hand on his shoulder. He stopped and glanced down at me.
"Her being a siren complicates things, but it's not the end of the world." I said.
He seemed to scoff at my words and looked slightly annoyed.
"Seriously? A siren. She is probably the most dangerous of us all! She has no idea how to use her abilities, no sense of control— hell, she almost drowned Heath not even five minutes ago! Do you know anything about Sirens? Because I sure as hell don't know nearly as much as I should." He snapped.
Alex seemed to turn rigid at Boa's words. Oh no. I sympathize with him. He lost control once and his mate was killed, and by his own hands. I glared at Boa to shut it. The hint I gave him went over his head and I rolled my eyes. Great.
The werewolf stood.
"No sense of control, huh? I guess that just makes her a monster doesn't it now?" He said slowly.
"Yes it-," Boa stopped as he looked at Alex.
His face softened as he realized. He sighed and closed his eyes for a moment before he spoke. Finally he becomes smart.
"I'm sorry brother. I didn't mean it in that way. We all were rough when we first came into our abilities. My actions were wrong to speak of Sybil like that. Having no control just means you have to learn. It does not mean you're a monster." He said.
Boa attempted to move forward to comfort Alex, however, he shoved his hand away and stormed off to the gardens. I looked out as he walked away. I sighed softly as it started to rain softly before picking up speed. It was an ominous sign that I did not welcome.
Heath's P.O.V.
I leaned over with my head in my hands as I sat in this chair in my room. Sybil was in the shower. She said she needed time to think, but my body doesn't want to see her by herself after I could see how she was feeling. A part of my soul was torn apart seeing her cry. It was another thing entirely when I heard her wail in pain. I never want to see her cry. If others shed tears, I don't have this reaction, but why do I for her?
I can't deny my feelings for her. She stirs something in me. Normally, I want to hunt my prey and play with it. With her, I– I find myself wanting more with her. I want to protect her with my entire being. As I thought about all of this, I heard it. My ears picked up on this soft whimper. Like something was being covered. My eyes widened as I stood. My body took me over to the bathroom door, and I didn't even knock as I opened the door.
There she was, huddled in a ball in the water trying to cover her cries. That huge garden tub made her look so small. She heard the door open and she looked up shocked. She was about to ask me questions until I stepped over to her.
She used one of her arms to cover her chest. I quickly grabbed her other hand and held it in mine. I looked deeply into her eyes as steam rose from our hands. It didn't hurt me, but it was a bit uncomfortable. The only reason I had steam coming from my hands was because of how she makes me feel. My demon stirs at seeing her tears. Hell, maybe he is there because I am close to the water. I don't like how I feel when I see her crying alone. I hate how she cries for me.
"You are a strong and beautiful woman. Don't waste those tears on a man like me, not when there are so many others out there who are worth them." I whispered.
I could have spoken in a normal tone, but I felt like if I spoke too loudly it would spook her even more than she already was and that scared me more than hell itself. She looked at me as her bottom lip quivered slightly.
"You were so close to dying today Heath. I was the reason you were in danger! You could have died today and– and I don't know what I would do with myself if I hurt you." She whispered the last part.
I sighed as I looked at her. Don't think Heath. Just do it. I nodded to myself and stood. Without thinking, I took off my shirt and pants, leaving myself in my boxers. Sybil's face turned blood red, but I had a reason for my madness. Just as she was about to yell at me I stepped into the tub with her. She screamed and tried to push me out, but I held her off as I sat down.
Fuck I hope she doesn't kill me later.
"Sybil look at me. I am still alive. I am still here." I said.
She stopped panicking and looked at me in awe. Of course, steam rose around me. She looked like she was about to ask questions again, so I explained before she could get the chance.
"Fire demons have some tolerance for water. I think my longest time underwater might be five or ten minutes. After that amount of time I think it starts to drain away my life force or something like that. I'd need fire or something to bring my energy back to me." I said.
She looked at my hand and she reached over and intertwined her hand in mine. She stared at her webbed fingers against mine. This partial transformation stuff was a bit insane. It was hot, but insane.
"Baby girl, I– I had no idea what you were capable of under that water, but the fire in me was trying so hard to stay away. It wasn't because I was afraid of you. It was because I was afraid for you. You are so new to all of this. If causing someone else harm had caused you any pain, I don't know what I would do with myself. You are… very pure compared to this world." I said.
That was all I could say as I saw her move forward to me in the water. My breath quickened as she moved to straddle me. Then her lips were on mine in a flash. I snarled gently as she bit my bottom lip and I forced my tongue in her mouth claiming it as mine. She tasted like heaven, If I had a glimpse of what that could be like. She was my own personal version of heaven.
My hand pressed into the dip of her hips as my fingers squeezed her plump flesh. I felt it as her mouth slightly opened as a moan escaped her lips. Good, don't be quiet, love. Her hands traveled from my shoulders, into my hair and she seemed to tug on my it as we kissed. This dominating fire in her was so sexy. It made my blood boil.
I growled slowly as I stood up taking us both out of the water. She was so light. So perfect. The water sloshed all around us, but I could care less. I stepped out of the bath. I shoved her back against the bathroom wall with a slight thud as she gasped out as I started to kiss and suck on her pale skin. That corner of her neck and shoulder is where I slightly nipped and I was satisfied as a loud moan came out of her mouth. I pulled back with a smirk.
"That might be my second favorite spot to taste you." I whispered against the side of her neck just below her ear.
I felt her fingers yank my hair back as my throat was exposed to her now. I felt her breath against my ear as she spoke.
"How about you show me where your first favorite spot is?" She suggested.
My body responded as she bit my ear softly. I couldn't help but hate my boxers as I grinded against her entrance. Damn material in the way! I groaned in pleasure as I could feel how wet she was for me. Gods, she is so fucking incredible.
My mind flashed back to later this evening. How upset she had been. I mentally beat the shit out of myself as I cupped the side of her face. Against my nature, I gently pulled away from her sweet lips. We were both panting as we gazed into each other's eyes. She was blushing more than hell's flames. I placed my forehead against her own and slightly shook my head. I sighed as she looked slightly concerned.
"You have been through so much today, baby girl. You have no idea how you make me feel right now. It's something I haven't felt in my entire existence. You deserve our first time to be something special. I feel you might regret this late if we continued tonight." I said softly.
She sighed softly, but as I looked up she was smiling slightly. She wiggled for me to put her down, and I reluctantly did. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed me gently. I returned it happily, and she pulled back.
"I understand Heath. However, for the record, I never would regret anything I'd do with you. I appreciate you taking earlier today into consideration. You care about me, and I return those feelings." She said,
I watched as she grabbed a black towel to wrap around those curves of her gorgeous body. She stopped at the edge of the bathroom door before she looked back at me. That sultry look in her eyes returns.
"And Heath, I know exactly how I make you feel." She whispered.
Only then did I realize she was looking at the huge tent in my boxers. Now was my turn to blush. I looked away as she walked out. Damn, this woman will be the end of me.
