His Angel

chapter 16 - Emily

I can't believe Ace was following me. I mean it was kind of sweet, but It was also a bit creepy. After I ditched him, I met up with Ash because he said he had new information about Julian, the new protector.

Ash has decided to stay here and watch over Jazmin and Ace because he thinks I wouldn't be able to protect both of them from the Daevas. He told me that I have to stake out Julian for the next three days because he thinks the transformation will happen in that time limit. He also thinks I'll fuck it up by melting into a puddle of lust when I set my eyes on Julian. He said that he can already see that I've developed feelings for Ace beyond our one-sided relationship. He couldn't be more wrong.

Ash told me Carlos was at David's party getting wasted and I wanted to make sure he got home safely. So I showed up and I find him being pinned against the wall by Ace with a bloodied face. My blood begins to boil and I know I have to control myself. I yank Ace back throwing him to the floor. He must've hit his head on something hard because my head starts to throb as pain shoots down my neck.

"Fuck," Ace mutters rubbing his head.

I pay no atention to the pain and focus on my brother. Carlos is on the ground and I rush to him, "oh my God, Carlos, are you okay?" I ask holding his head in my hands.

He looks at me with wide eyes, "you're okay." He says sounding relieved.

"Me? You're the one with a bloody nose." I reply lightly touching his nose and he winces.

I turn to Ace, my blood boiling like hot lava. I grab him by his stupid shirt and push him against the wall careful to keep myself under control. I stare into his beautiful blue eyes and see the question behind them.

"You fucking asshole," I growl.
His eyes widen slightly, but then they soften and he smiles. He freaking smiles. I wind my arm back and punch him in his happy little face. His head hits the concrete wall behind him with a loud thud. Damn it, I didn't think about the pain this would cause me. My eyes water at the pounding and pulsing pain at the back of my head and the throbing pain of my nose.

I hear gasps from all around, but I pay not attention to them. "Fuck," I curse.

"Emily? Are you okay?" Carlos asks worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I sigh.

I turn to Ace and grab him by his very toned  bicep and ignore all his emotions that are pouring into me. I stand him up and wince holding my head as I feel his pain flow into me.

"God, if hurting you didn't pain me so much then I'd beat you till you were rendered unconscious," I growl. My eyes widen as I realize I sound eerily similar to my father.

No, I'm nothing like him. Nothing.

I Bink clearing the thought and focus on Ace again. I lean in glaring at him and the air between us instantly charges up. Instantly I feel his arousal. I nervously swallow as his breath fans my cheeks. Does he really feel like this? Because of me? I look up into his beautiful blue eyes. Oh dear lord. Just one look and it feels like he's unraveling me from the core. I feel like he can see me, see right through me. All my flaws and insecurities. But yet his eyes have a comforting hold on me. Make me feel warm and safe. Stripping me of all the walls and barriers I have up. And at the same time, I want to rip every single clothing he has on. I look down at his lips and want to crash mine against his and taste him, savor him. I want to...Oh god what am I thinking? I quickly dart my eyes back up to his. His lust is mixing up with mine making me very dangerously horny, but in the end it's just lust. He doesn't want me, he wants my ass. All he wants is to sleep with me.

I let out a breath letting him go and step back. Get it under control, Emily! He just wants to get in your pants. That's it.

"Stay the hell away from my brother. If you so much as lay a hand on him, I'll kill you," I growl.
