Demons without Desire

Unlikely protector

I woke a few hours later with a smile on my face, it would only get bigger if he was there...

I rolled over and saw Zak on his front with the sheet just covering his butt sound asleep. We'd both worn ourselves out this time, it didn't take a lot, I was him over and he was tired.

I grinned at his presence and observed him sleeping for a while. I couldn't leave him alone and nuzzled in kissing his sleeping mouth. He moaned softly and threw his arm over me, his leg rubbed against mine to make sure I was still with him.

How can he be so cute but so big at the same time?

We were just fooling around but I couldn't help feel something towards the 6,1 sleeping giant beside me.

He was one of a kind. But it was too much to be asking him for a more than a fumble around. Even if he had been taking me on dates etc.

I felt a tug on my hair causing me to swipe my hand around my head, most likely have it caught on something, it was long now, I hadn't had it cut for a while. But it was in excellent condition and looked nice so I kept it growing.

Sitting up I pulled my hair around to the side of my face so Zak wouldn't have a mouth full of it.

Seeing his lips slightly pouted I moved in again when I felt the sheet being pulled.

"Seriously, bed hogger." I whispered pulling it back when I froze realising he hadn't moved a muscle.

Looking at him with narrowed eyes, I waited for him to laugh or open his eyes amused but he was silent and still.

I went to move in again to steal some body heat when I felt a cool area all around him.

He wasn't like that before... Was he?

I held my hand up in the area but felt nothing until I got closer to him. Concerned about how cold it was I pulled the sheet up on him.

Maybe just a door open in the house? I shook it off and yawned.

I had only just woke up but I could quiet easily go back to sleep. Turning on my side I pushed my back into his chest and pulled his arms around me.

Stirring again he took hold of me pressing a kiss on my shoulder before grumbling.

I waited and sure enough a long drawn out sigh left him and he was sparko again.

My body responded to the idea of sleep and soon I could feel myself being pulled down.

I felt Zak's hand slide over my head when I opened my eyes to find I was actually being pulled down the bed. My eyes shot to my feet only to see a woman holding my ankles. Her face was pale but her eyes were crazy.. Seriously crazy! Her white dress was shredding and hair was dripping wet.

"What?! What the-! GET OFF!" I screamed kicking my legs.

She opened her mouth letting out a blood curling scream when I woke.

I pulled my feet up to my bum and looked around the now dark room.

What the hell was that?

A banshee?

Why would a banshee be in Zak's house?

My eyes shot to him where he was flat out. Looking around the room I slipped out of bed and found his top.

"Okay bitch. What do you want?" I asked standing up in the middle of his room waiting for her to show up.

I was still stood there after an hour before I gave up and deemed myself stupid and still hung over. I headed for bathroom and ran hot bath, maybe it will relieve anything I'm holding on to.

I zoned out for a while and jumped when the door slammed. Seeing the bath almost at the top I turned the faucets to stop them. Looking down at the water I racked my mind thinking of how Zak could have a banshee here.

Maybe it wasn't a banshee? No. No it's not one. Disgruntled spirit.

My eyes picked up a face beside me, gasping I spun around to find myself alone.

Looking around the bathroom for her I saw the mirror had words wrote into the condensation..

'Get out.'

Scoffing I rolled my eyes "Slamming doors? Writing in the condensation and giving me night terrors? You're gonna have to do better than that.. I'm an investigator." I called out looking around.

A few minutes later it was still silent so I pulled off Zak's top and sank into the hot water.

Come on Kaylee, get it together.

I loved doing this job but I've never lived with an aggressive spirit. This was almost poltergeist activity with the door slams.

How does Zak sleep through it all? Unless he's used to it.

Maybe that's why he said that he's used to being tired?

I shook my head and got out. Pulling on his top again I made my way across the bedroom and into the wardrobe browsing his rails before borrowing yet more clothes.

Feeling hunger surface I left Zak in bed and went into the kitchen to find food.
Maybe make him some food as a thank you. Yeah, sounds good.

Pulling out fresh chicken breast tomatoes and a red pepper I dumped them on the side before going into the cupboards seeing taco shells I smiled.

Chicken tacos it is!

I closed the cupboard door and almost screamed his house down to see Zak stood there rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"You left me.." He mumbled.

"I was a little hungry." I admitted looking up at him.

"You've been gone a long time. I waited.. You shower to?"

I nodded as he looked down at the white top I was wearing.

"The only white one I found." I joked.

"Hmm." He replied hugging me tightly against his body. I pushed my nose into his neck taking in his scent and enjoying it.

"You got wet hair." He spoke as he stumbled back gently.

"Yeah..."

A lazy smile filled his face "you've got no bra on."

How did he kn-

I looked down at the top to find the wetness of my hair had turned his top see through.

"Oh- does it offend you?" I asked making him frown.

"Hell no, walk around naked. Actually don't because I would forget about everything and focus on you all the time." He sighed.

"What if I wanted exactly that?" I teased pulling on the hem of his top.

"Then you'll be very sore.. A lot of the time."

"Oh baby you tease." I purred before giggling and returning to the food I had planned.

Zak's arms slammed down on the work top either side of me and his nose guided my head to the side.

"You're driving me insane... Either we take this back to bed, or you put some shorts on..."

"I got boxers." I replied pulling up his top to reveal them.

"Lord help me." He whispered into my ear making me giggle as it tickled.

A part of me wanted to mention that woman.. But something told me it was a subject off limits. I decided against telling him about the attachment for now, but I would intervene if it fucked with him.
