Craving Purity- Rewritten

XII

Elijah's POV:

Levi sleeping is so cute, especially when I know he'll wake up without screaming at me and accusing me of being a rapist. Greyson has been gone for about an hour at this point, no doubt confiding in the king of stalking to see if he's making the wrong choice. Hopefully, Simon is self aware enough to point out that he stalked Kayden and is not the best judge of this situation.

I can't resist continuously reaching over and cupping Levi's face with my hand and kissing his forehead. I know it may come across as weird, but I feel like touching him just confirms that he's real. He's real and he's mine and Greyson's lover. He called Greyson when he was in a crisis, so he must be drawn to him, and his little smiles make me think he's fallen for both of us even if he hasn't processed it or fully thought it through.

I hear the door to our room open and I turn, fully expecting to see Greyson, but it's Lexi. My best friend is carrying a tray of food, and I think he's trying to make it look homemade, but the drink on the tray has the Starbucks logo.

"Hi," I say, slowly sitting up so I don't startle my human. "What's this for?"

Lexi smirks, putting the tray on my nightstand and sitting near the end of the bed, his legs crossed. "Well, I know how obsessive you can be, so I wanted to make sure you don't make yourself nauseous by not eating or drinking anything because you refused to leave. This is really just to protect my nose from the scent of vomit."

"And because you love me," I point out.

Lexi rolls his eyes. "Yes, but that's implied."

I grab the pink, creamy drink with little strawberry pieces and take a sip. The food on the tray is a sandwich, some Oreos, and apple slices, and based on how much is on the sandwich, I can safely assume Gale made it for me.

"You and Greyson probably won't be going to the celebration, will you?" Lexi asks, snatching an Oreo from my plate.

I shake my head. "No, I doubt that Levi will be comfortable with it because it's only a couple of weeks away and he needs us to fully focus on him. Sorry, Lex, looks like you'll have to bother Master Alastor for even longer than you usually do."

"Don't apologize, it's not like your jealous ass ever let me sleep with you two anyway."

The celebration in question is an annual party that Master Alastor hosts in Hell, and it's essentially a huge sex party. We sins get to have private rooms, but the lower ranking demons have to stay out in the public lounge, not that any of them care. They're even worse in their perversion than us sins, as they've never left Hell.

It's always hot, kinky, and fun, but we only have three weeks until the celebration and I know Levi will not be ready in that time. Supernatural relationships tend to move quickly, but there's no way that Levi will be able to adjust. He seems terrified of intimacy, and I'm desperate to know why.

"That's fair," I say, looking over at Levi and smiling softly. "Now I have two men for you to keep your hands off of."

"Fuck, you're annoying," Lexi whines. "I guess I'll have to coerce Winston into a threesome with myself and Master Alastor... Or maybe Simon will let me join him and Kayden. Master Alastor has joined them before, why not me?"

"Because no one's dick is as big as the Lord of Hell's?"

"Kayden might miss topping," Lexi points out.

I laugh. "Yeah, and it's not like it's hard to get Simon to agree to kinky shit, especially if Kayden wants to."

Lexi nods, and I can smell how turned on he is.
