The wind from the hallway hit my face hard as the door slammed shut. I saw a few guys walk past me, not trying to be obvious about looking me over. "Hey," a blonde stopped in front me with of another guy. I was not in the mood for being pounded on.

"Hello, you'll have to excuses me. I'm in a bit of a hurry," I said slipping past. He had his eyes all over me. I didn't understand humans at all.

I continued to walk on a mission from my heart. His face was branded into my mind. I knew I wasn't in my right mind to fight for him, but I was prepared to win. "Wait, Haven't seen you around?"

Damn humans. I think Sulfus's words are rubbing off on me. The blonde gave me a powerful vibe that I couldn't quite read.

"I'm not from around here. I really do need to go," I turned from the man towards room 306. I was on the 2nd floor, and searching for the elevator while the man kept on my trail.

"I'm not from around here either," his voice made me cringe.

I finally reached the stairs at least, and climbed a floor as the blonde continued to follow. 302, 304, 306. There is was.

I knocked as the blonde stepped back from me. "So what business do you have with this guy?" his smirk was obvious in his tone. He knew Sulfus?

"I love him," I said before I could catch myself. He was dumbfounded by my response.

"If only you knew how much trouble he really is." Does he mean him being a devil? He has to? Who is he?

"I don't think I got your name?"

"Zander. And you?" his smile grew.

Would he know who I was? "Rachel," I responded. He laughed, which surprised me.

"Nice to meet you, Rachel," it sounded like he believed me. Although he could just be a good liar. The door handle shook, and opened with a gasp.

"Zander? What the hell are you doing here? Little brother in trouble?" Sulfus smirked.

"Zane, that little fucker. He always seems to be in trouble. It's been a while Sulfus. I'll see you around Rachel," he winked. Zane? Was that his brother?

"Rachel?" Sulfus questions with a slight laugh.

"I was afraid he would know who I was," I responded getting a genuine laugh from Sulfus.

"Why did you come here?" his voice was serious.

"I love you, Sulfus. I don't want anyone else," I don't know what pulled those words out, but that is truly how I feel. He was at a loss for words.

I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Raf, I need you to be sure," he finally answers.

"I'm sure," I said taking a step closer. "I need you."

He is inches away from me. I could reach up and kiss him. I study his face as he does the same. "How bad are we for each other?" he asks.

"I'm not sure yet," I push him back into the room shutting the door.

He takes me by the waist, and pulls me closer. "I've been wanting to hold you for a while. I've wanted to kiss you until you can't breathe, and make you hit me when I say something stupid," he gives me a goofy smile, and I smile back.

"I don't want to be able to breath," I simply say, and I can tell he understands what I mean when he takes my face in his hands, and slides his thumb over my bottom lip.

"You make me crazy."

"You make me even crazier," I say as he lowers his lips to meet mine.

He kisses me lightly. I can tell by the electricity this is right. I can feel his pulse in his hand, and his heartbeat pacing to mine. He drives me backwards until my legs hit the edge of the bed, and I fall back onto the bed.
