“Sounds about right. You never “saw” me. Especially that one time when you and Caden were..”
“Shut up.” Caden yells at him.
“Nobody asked you to speak up right now.” I say, letting go of Niko’s neck, popping out my hip and resting my hand on it.
“Hold up, someone has some fucking explaining to do.” I hear Blaze’s deep voice interrupt the banter..
“First things first. Why the fuck were you choking the fuck out of my boyfriend.” Caden asks me.
"Okay, so, funny story. I thought Niko was trying to go after Ember. To become a thing. Since he is now a famous baseball player." I say with my hand rubbing the back of my head.
Caden starts laughing with me. "Yeah, that sounds like the possessive and psychotic Onyx that I know."
"Okay, and Blaze, long story short. Caden and I used to date years ago, back in high school. I moved to his school our junior year. Then we hit it off, and the rest is history."
"Ye.." Caden tries to reply but gets interrupted by Aspen.
“Why don’t we all go hang out at End Times? It’s cleaner, nicer, we get free drinks, and we can keep talking about this instead of staying in this dump.” Aspen says with disgust written all over his face.
“Yeah, there we can get free drinks.” Aspen states.
“We will also have a private place to talk.” Blaze pipes in.
Looking at Ember she looks confused yet relieved at the same time. When she goes to say something. I start to prepare for her wrath, but she only says. "Sounds like a plan to me. I need lots and lots of strong whiskey after this."
Oh, this is going to be fun…
Five Hours Later
We finally arrive at the Chertanov Mansion, from a night out with Caden, Niko, Ember, and my brothers. There was tons of drinking, and tons of fun games were played. If only the night was recorded, so I could rewatch it over and over again.
Getting that close to him again was fucking amazing. Everything was the same as I remember. Ember and Niko looked like they had fun. I think. I know Aspen, Blaze, and Ezra had the time of their lives.
“Why the fuck would you act like that with someone else in front of me?” She scolds me as soon as we start walking up stairs. The guys all went into the gym for a bit and I wanted to talk to Ember about what was bothering her.
“I’m so sorry, Little Siren. It just kind of happened, just like every time I am around him. I can’t control myself. Why is this a problem all of a sudden?” Trying to reason with her. “What’s the problem?” She repeats my question, sarcasm lacing each word as she crosses her arms over her chest. FUCK, this is a lost cause at this moment because she is fuming. I thought everything was fine because of how the night ended. But once we got in the car to head home she was short with me, wouldn’t talk with me, or even let me kiss her.
“You say you were coming to get me. Yet, you were all over Caden and didn’t give two shits about me.” She tries to shove past me to get into her room.
“I was there for you, but...” Not budging and becoming like a brick wall in her way.
“But, what, Onyx? Cat got your tongue?” She cocks her head to the side, hands on her hips. This sass of hers is going to get her fucked and not her questions answered. My thoughts start to wonder to fucking the attitude out of her, tying her up, and having her at my mercy. That should work. Right? My cock straining against my pants to be freed,just by thinking about the red marks I would leave across her body. Handprints, cuts, bruises, hickeys, rope burn, bite marks…
I am pulled from my dirty thoughts about my dirty Little Siren, with a sharp stinging pain on my cheek. Did she just slap me? My cock is throbbingin my pants. I want her to smack me that hard while she rides me.
“Onyx, were you even listening?” She looks even more pissed than she did when we got home. I just stare at her, not sure how to put my feelings for her into words or to tell her that Caden means nothing to me anymore and he is in my past, but she is my future.
“I. Ummm. I. Fuck.” I stutter in frustration. I have never told anyone my feelings about them, not even Caden. He was my first love, and I never wanted to fall in love again after him. Let alone with another mortal. Why is this so fucking hard? Why can’t she just read my mind and know everything?
“Fuck.” Screaming as I pull at the hair on my head, pacing back and forth, not sure how to say any of the shit going on in my head.
“Are you even going to talk to me or just scream “fuck” every time I ask you something?” She asks her face a picture of hurt and sadness, contradicting her rage towards me.
Why can’t I just tell her that I am falling for her? I don’t want to go a day without her. I am the demon God of Death of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. She is only the second person that I have loved. Wait. Did I just actually admit that I love her? Oh. My. Satan. I love her. I am in love with her. She is the only mortal for me. I don’t want anyone else, no mortal, no demon, no anything. She is mine, and I am only hers. But why can’t I just come out and say it to her? Why is it so hard? She wouldn’t reject me. Would she?
“You know what Onyx? Fuck you! Come find me when you can actually speak to me about this like an adult.” She pushes me out of the way and slams her door in my face.
Walking into the room beside hers, closing the door, and flopping on the bed. “I will one day find a way to tell you everything, Little Siren.”
