Shielded - The Marilla Chronicles

Chapter 25

I woke up in bed lying in Malaki's arms. We had gone another few round, until I could no longer walk and passed out on his chest while feeling his breathing. Lying on his chest was the most tranquil experience.

I looked over my shoulder to see his face, he was still asleep, his white hair falling over his face. He cuddled up against my back.

I smiled, he had done a lot to try and make me scream his name, but It had become part of the game. To try and hold back his name that was screaming down my body when he made me come.

I slowly got up and pulled on a shirt with shorts. I silently made my way to the door and left leaving Malaki asleep. I didn't feel like doing the awkward morning talk with him.

I closed the door behind me and turned to make my way back to my ocean bed.

"Marilla?" Isaac said behind. I turned to find Isaac staring at me with his big brown eyes looking quizzical.

"You sleep in your bed last night?" He asked looking at my door.

"Uh yeah." I said rubbing the back of my neck.

"Why?" Isaac said looking worried. "Are you okay?"

I'm great, I've had a night full of sex with a literal devil in bed. "I'm fine Isaac." I said with a reassuring smile.

"Alright good, look I wanted to talk abou_"

Isaac stopped in his tracks as one of the doors opened behind me. I winced waiting for Malaki and Isaac to get into an all-out war to the death.

"Hey." Maxwell said from behind. I let out a sigh of relief.

Maxwell stepped in towards me and gave me an arrogant smile.

"Marilla slept in her bed last night." Isaac stated with astonishment as he pointed at the door behind me.

I shifted awkwardly.

"I don't think she slept much." Maxwell said arching his eyebrow at me.

My eyes widened; did he hear us? Oh god, of course he did. Malaki had knocked over shelves with his wings, he had pinned me to a wall at one point. And I had not been quiet myself. I stood waiting for Maxwell to tell on me, but he just maintained a wicked smile.

"Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Malaki." Isaac said gently. "You were right, I am letting my emotions get the better of me." He placed his hand on my shoulder. "I suppose I felt like I was sleeping with the enemy."

Maxwell let out a snort and little laugh. I poked him with my elbow and gave him a dirty look.

I looked back up at my Uncle.

"We use Malaki to Satisfy our need." Isaac began continued sternly.

"Oh my god." Maxwell said with a massive grin. I felt like I was going to die from embarrassment.

"Our need to kill the Dark One." Isaac said looking at Maxwell annoyed.

"Yes, exactly." I said remaining composed, but knew I would have a go at Maxwell later.

"Morning." I froze hearing Malaki's voice behind me. Isaac face dropped from being the friendly uncle to the murderous killer.

"Shit." Malaki began awkwardly. He stepped in behind me.

Isaac glared at Malaki and I, his face going red with furry. I felt his magic spark around us.

"Isaac, I can explain." Malaki continued. But this was not for Malaki to explain.
