Demon Muse

A Broken Promise

   Gabriel had realized, the only area he's really familiar with, has no cover at all. No places to hide. He had circled back, realizing that the demons think they've cleared the field of grain. He has now squatted down low, hoping to catch a glimpse of Sean. Just as he's about to give up and find cover somewhere safer, he sees a large group exit the palace. He's shocked to see several angels walking and chatting with the demons, Sean leading the way. Gabriel frowns, Sean pats Wal on the back and tosses Bo over his shoulder and his tail slaps Bo on the ass. Laughter rings out, but Gabriel is glaring at Bo. As the group enters the spooky looking forest, Gabriel notices, they're being followed.

   He knows she's no threat to Sean, so he turns to find a new place to hide. He's uncomfortable with his growing attraction to Sean, it's bordering on obsession and he fears he may do something... terrible.

   The group approaches the oasis and Sean hears the surprised gasps of several angels. He smiles, just as taken in by the scenery as the first time he saw it. He's known they've been followed and he clears his throat, placing Bo on his feet. Everyone spreads out, chatting and exploring the area. Sean bumps his shoulder against Wal's arm, raising his brows.

"So, how are things going with Wendy? You two, haven't fought?" Sean asks, Wal looking at him utterly confused.

"Of course not. What would we fight about?" Wal asks, noticing Sean glancing repeatedly over his shoulder. He lowers his voice. "Is it Gabriel?"

"No." Sean assures him. He sighs, keeping his voice soft. "You were terrible at hiding your feelings, towards me. I'm afraid she might be a bit, jealous. So, tell me clearly how you feel about her. Don't make me have to harm you, for hurting my little sister." He winks, Bo holding him from behind. "Seriously, baby? You're still jealous too?" He pulls Bo around to stand in front of him and he kisses him. "I love only one man. I'm absolutely deliriously happy when he's in my arms." He kisses Bo's forehead.

"Mm, that's not the only absolute when you hold me." Bo smirks, feeling Sean's hardening cock rubbing against his stomach. He clears his throat, glancing at Wal and smiling. "I know he's hard not to love, but you... care for Wendy, right?"

"Of course I care for her!" Wal says angrily, sighing in frustration. "I told her, I wanted to be her mate. I, can be jealous too. I don't want her feeding from anyone else." He shuffles his feet, fighting the urge to look around for her. He lowers his voice again, looking at Sean. "How long has she been following us?"

"Since shortly after we passed the hatchery." Sean says, studying his friend. "I know you care for her, your feelings are turning more toward her. I also know, you show her how you feel. But, sometimes it's still nice to hear the words." He grins at Bo. "Right, baby? Even though you know I love you literally to death, you still like hearing me say it. I love you." He kisses Bo, hearing Wal groan in frustration.

"You're right. I've never actually, said how I feel." Wal's voice is raised slightly above conversation level. "I, I'm absolutely falling in love with her. No, I love her. I want to spend every minute with her, for eternity. I can't..." He's cutoff, small thin arms trying to circle his waist. He hears a soft sob and closes his eyes in remorse. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." He turns, lifting Wendy up into his arms and grinning softly as her limbs cling to him. He raises her chin, looking deep into her eyes. "Wendy, I love you. Move into my room?" She smiles through her tears, but can't find her voice. She simply nods excitedly. He kisses her and she whimpers, rubbing herself against his hardness and panting. "Mm, you are dangerous." He teases, grinning at her.

"I think, the rest of us can handle showing our guests around. I also think, you've got some groveling to do, my friend." Sean chuckles, scooping Bo up and heading toward the lagoon. "Let's wade into the water, baby. I bet it's refreshing."
