AWAKEN DEVIL (SAMPLE)

Chapter 5

Zanuel walked behind Denisa being pulled by her into the room, and stares at her confused, isn't she the same person who didn't want to see him a few minutes ago.

He said nothing and sat on the bed as told. Caroline, Robert, and Margaret stare at each other, watching him walk behind her, no one would have thought they would ever be able to witness their Lord being obedient to anyone let alone a mortal. 

Denisa pulls her gown up sitting beside Zanuel, while he tries to understand her.

"Here, do your thing" she demands him pointing at her neck "Stop the bleeding" she adds staring at him.

Zanuel looks at her, confused, this woman is hard to predict, he stares at her neck trailing his fingers against her neck, sending shivers down her spine, she trembled a little against his touch.

He slowly placed his palm against her neck feeling her warm skin over his cold fingertips and pulse beating faster.

Denisa tried to calm down but it was not that easy, every part of her body craved for his touch, she shut close her eyes trying to concentrate.

'Stop it Nes, stop it!' Denisa says calming her heart down.

Denisa stepped in because she had to, if she had ignored it too, no one would have dared to step forward to stop Zanuel and Caroline, she definitely would have gotten her neck strangled.

And that is not something Denisa wanted to happen.

Denisa calmed herself down and opens her eyes and saw Zanuel, and noticed his eyes were glued at her lips, gulping hard trying to keep his devil in check.

He leaned in and tried to tuck the strands of her raven black hair behind her ears falling on her face and gently holds her neck with one hand while caressing her cheeks with another.

She looks at him blankly, puzzled by his tenderness and gentleness, while her cheeks turned red and her body burning hot with his slow touches making her nervous and feel the butterflies inside her stomach.

The closeness and the scent of him were making her crazy, and it was not easy for Zanuel either, he was having a hard time controlling the thoughts running through his head seeing her vulnerable and melting under his touch, there was an invisible magnet that was making it harder for them to stay away from each other. 

Zanuel pulled himself back using all his willpower to fight the devil and thoughts of pinning her to the bed under him and having her all for himself, he glances at Denisa and saw her having a hard time too, though she said nothing, but he was aware what his scent was capable of doing, it can make people around him wanting to throw themselves on him. 

"It's healed," he says pulling his hand away from her, he smirked seeing the disappointment in her eye, she touches her neck and there were no marks of the fangs.

"Thank you," she says moving away from him but he was not ready to let her go, she cocks her head looking at him and he slowly takes his hands off her. 

Zanuel was having a hard time trying to stay sane, the closeness was killing him, but when she tried to move away he couldn't bare to let that happen, his eyes stuck on her lips, dying to taste her, if only he didn't move away he could have tasted her. 

Denisa pulled her gown and gets up awkwardly from the bed moving away from him, she didn't want to make the situation more complicated than it already is.

"Are you scared of me Nes?" he asks staring at her watching her walk away from him, she didn't say a word and stares at him for a moment before she decided to speak.
