Chapter 10 - Sleeping princess

Mirabelle's p.o.v.

The door shut leaving me in stark darkness, waiting for a moment till my eyes adjusted to the dark room.I listened with bated breath for even the most faintest noise.

Finally satisfied,I wiggled like an eel,sucking in my stomach past it's original capacity,It was a success but my hands were still bound behind the chair,I wiggled harder this time and because Devlin had been distracted he didn't know it back.

It came undone,I didn't rush out immediately but waited as I regain my strength after the work,my gun was nowhere in sight.

I could hide behind the door and once it was opened,I would go behind the person and try to lay my hands on any weapon and whatever they worshipped better come to save them.

My eyes zoomed in on the rope used to tie me again,it was something after all.I picked it up going towards the door as quietly as a mouse sneaking in the house.

My heart beat rhythmically,I couldn't afford been skittish and fearful,it was what gave them and advantage.

She reached the door and placed her ear to it, trying to get a source of noise,she knew the door was just directly before the stairs which lead to the sitting room.

She heard muffled voices,but she was struck with lightning.. sh.. Sheila,that was Sheila's voice alright asking for there help on locating her.

Devlin saying in a pleasant yet sky voice,he would be glad to help.the tortoise! She snorted.

If she were to alert Sheila now,they would brush it off,she already imagined Devlin saying in his deep velvet voice " oh never mind that, it's just a naughty cat doing it's business.

She gentle tried the door and smiled he locked it,Devlin locked it of course! Hands on her hips with the rope she looked like wonder woman.

She would have to wait,she went behind the door hands gripping the rope,one hand across her face to prevent the door hitting her on her face and giving her a crocked of the nose.

All was silent now.

She could not count her breath as it beat sporadically,she felt the key slotted into the hole,the door knob turned,it swung open almost hitting her on the face,devlin stepped in.

There was no time to waist,she had originally wanted to flee but she lunged at his back him coming to the realization as he turned.. she hit him so hard she felt it in her bones.

Devlin raised his hands to shield his face, "what the hell? how can you be so vicious! have mercy on a poor soul like me,he cried.

She saw an opening and dwelt a blow to his jaw hitting brick,she flailed her hands groaning.she realized she had straddled him,her eyes gaze drifting to his groin ,face flushing. she looked back at him to see him look at his groin and back at her face,a smug smile in his face.

She got up with the speed of lightning almost stumbling on her feet,he drew up from his position and attempted to hold her.she righted herself,his boner had given her a fright.

She went down the stairs, two at a time and was almost there and had opened the door so fast she asked how..

The door almost ripped her face off as it shut by itself rattling all the windows in the house,it refused to budge Even though she tried yanking it open.

Shit! Sweat broke out on her body,she turned to see him talking to a non- imaginary friend" "don't fucking try to rip her face off, he yelled.

The visitors had all gone and so was her sister, what had she been doing here exactly? Using the little distraction she ventured into the kitchen looking for...

No don't...

She grabbed the kitchen knife so tight it hurt and turned to face him." Let's act like two mature adults, mirabelle put the knife down he cajoled taking a step closer to her.

Don't even think about it,she warned.My phone?

He shrugged moving his shoulder" have no idea where it is,his gaze calculating.he watched the kitchen knife warily.

I would have to do something because he was ready to stay there for a long time,I waited, as soon as he took the next step closer to me,I thrust the knife.

It was ripped from my hands so fast I sucked in a breath,the next thing he held me in his arms.No way was I getting caught again.

Twisting and wiggling in his hold,I slipped away only to be caught by the waist and as much as I tried to put my weight on my feet,he was still able to raise me.

I huffed and thrashed in frustration forgetting he was a demon and had a very big advantage.

The force of my action made him stagger like a drunk man and managed to fall on the sofa instead of the floor.he,under with me on his top his body warm and heard underneath his clothing.

He grinned,white teeth flashing " Mhmm your sweet scent is filling my nostrils,he demonstrated by breathing in.

I pressed my hands flat against his chest and pushed,I wasn't going to let this stop me plans.I screamed when he flipped me over,his warm breath on my face,his chest heaving.

"So feisty! He grumbled holding my hands in one of his and rearranging my hair which had come undone from its position at the back of my head,so gently it tickled.he held my gaze.

With every movement I made my breast seemed to touch his chest,I felt colour on my cheeks." You should blush more,came his low raspy voice.

I eyed him,I was trapped and needed to find another alternative before he would make me so light-headed,I would want to kiss him.

My gaze dropped,eyelashes veiling the turmoil brewing within her, her fingers clenched into fists,the tension echoing the war raging in her mind .Breath reduced to a partial dead state,I remained still.

I could feel his hot gaze on my face, he e smiled" look at you,what a beautiful sleeping princess you are,voice laced with amusement.

He was nuts,as I smiled inwardly but my face remained it's blank state.

He raked a cool longer finger over my face coming to my lips,he traced it with feather like gentleness for a man who had committed six murders and the one she didn't know.

Her lips tickled,she itched to graze it with tongue to stop the tingling but didn't.

He paused midway hands trailing from her neck to her collar bone," are you for real? I love the feisty side,what trick are you up to now? He asked as he leaned in.

She would have an attack right there if it was any other girl,his masculine scent mixed with body perfume assaulted her senses,hands held and at his mercy.

She froze completely body reacting to his face now buried in her neck, a reckless tongue poking out of his mouth to lick her neck as shivers raked her body.

Her chin tilted upward,her jaw st in defiance, even as her pulse fluttered in her exposed neck, devlin's warm breath danced across her skin testing her resolve.she stiffled a moan when he progressed from licking to biting but not enough to break into the skin.

Her breath hitched, heart raced shivers coursing through her veins,the metallic tang of fear mingled with the sweet thrill of desire making her breathless.

Not knowing when she turned her neck to allow him passage,she hadn't noticed she him between her legs and when she did..her eyes flew open.

" Sleeping princess is awake? he asked eyes burning with an intense fire, " did I wake sleeping princess? Head thrown back, his eyes twinkled with triumph.

She squinted her eyes on him,fuck him!
