Black Heart (Her Guardian Demon rewrite)

chapter 8

Ciel's POV

I woke with a start, hearing a scream from outside my room and down the hall. I grumbled at first then recogniced the voice of the screams owner. Kimberly.

I jumped out of bed and quickly tied my eyepatch on and ran to the room where the screams were coming from. I opened the door to find her thrashing on the bed, her eyes screwed shut in distress as she had what looked like a horrifying nightmare. 

I rushed to the side of the bed and grabbed her hand and cupped her cheek. "Shh shh its ok its ok. " I cooed softly and she started to calm down, waking slowly and opening her blue orbs that have captivated me since I first saw her.

"C-Cie- I mean, Master?" She stuttered tiredly, correcting herself. I let a smile show and I whispered in her ear softly. "You can call me by my name when we're alone, Kimberly." She shivered slightly when my lips brushed her ear as I spoke.

"Yes, Ciel." A shiver ran down my spine hearing my name from her sweet lips. I knew if I didnt leave now there'd be no telling what I would do. I went to leave but I heard her whimper, making me turn back to her. I could see the fear in her usually bright eyes, the desire to make her feel safe washed over me and I went back to her and pet her hair and stroked her cheek. "Do you want me to stay?"

"Yes but.. you need to sleep. I'll manage. Its ok." I could hear that she was afraid but also courtious about my rest. "I'll be alright Kimberly. You serve me all the time. This is the least I can do." 

She smiled bashfully and moved over. "My bed isnt that comfortable but youre welcome to lay down." I felt my cheeks get warm and my heart race as I nodded and climbed in bed with her. She was right, this bed was lumpy and stiff and would give anyone a pain in their back. I'll see to it she gets a better one tomorrow.

Kimberly layed her head on my chest and I wrapped my arms around her. "You're heartbeat is really fast." I heard her mumble with a slight giggle. I bit my lip and tried to control my body but to no avail. My skin seemed to heat up and tingle where her hand rested on my stomach. I tried to do my best to push the thoughts my mind was giving me aside but it was harder than I'd hoped.

There will be a second book that is for the smut parts of this story. If you want to read that it is available to you. I like it when authors give the option.

Look at chapter 8.5 in my other book for the smut chapter
