Death's a Bitch REPLACEMENT

Chapter Twelve: Awake

~~ Ashton's Point Of View ~~

I sat there and waited beside her.

I was back to reality, I saved her soul and most likely her now I was just waiting for her body to heal and her to be up and throwing insults at people.

No one was here with me I was alone, Lucifer was dealing with souls, Cupid was matching lovers, and Ajax was gone. There was no more Ajax could do,  it was all up to her. When I held onto her soul Ajax quickly done a spell on her body to erase it of all witch magic wiping her father from her head. He ensured it was safe and said I could place her soul back. I didn't want to risk it but he was sure. He told me he had put stronger spells up rather than the natural angel one that ensured she would be safe. I put her soul back in her body but every few hours I would travel back inside her head and see if she was okay. She told me to fuck off and to get out of her head, occasionally threw in the odd insult but instead of snapping at her I smiled. She was safe and I couldn't help but smile.

I lay back in the chair closing my eyes, I imagined her dancing at in the barn a beautiful smile across her face, and she looked like she actually enjoyed herself that night. The blue dress bringing out her bright blue eyes... those bright blue eyes being inches from mine, her lips miller meters away. It felt like a dream, maybe it was? I wonder if Death can remember any of it.

I opened my eyes snapping myself out of my thoughts. I should go train; I haven't for the last couple of days because of the whole Death thing. The chair creaked under the release of my body weight as I stood up and stretched making my way to the exit. That was until Death awoke, she sat up quickly with a gasp, followed by a wince and a curse. Then she looked at me, her eyes full of something I hadn't seen before

"Ashie" she breathed out
I was beside her in an instant "how do you feel?" I asked
"Fine I think, well except the stomach. Feels like a massive hangover really"
"That's good, Ajax put a spell up in your mind to stop your father from doing that memory shit again"
"That's good then I guess" she said she almost seemed lost
"are you okay?"
"I'm trying to get my bearings here. Plus you have been in and out of my fucking head so I feel violated"
"Sorry, I didn't trust Ajax's spells"
she threw a punch at me hitting me square in the jaw
"if you ever... ever go into my fucking head again I will cut off your cock, put it in a mincer and force it down your throat until you choke on it"
I just gulped
"but" she added quietly "thank you for saving my soul, I couldn't have done it without you"
"Don't thank me I was just doi-"

Suddenly her lips crashed down onto mine, her eyes were shut tightly as her long eyelashes sat upon her cheekbones, my own eyes instinctively shut as I focused on her heartbeat, it was hammering away in her chest or was that my heart? The feeling as her lips molded to mine sent me into a state of bliss; they were soft yet harsh, warm yet cold, vigorous yet gentle. Her hands around my neck pulled me closer towards her. I could smell her perfume filling my nose with that faint sweet smell covered up by mint and leather. She bit at my bottom lip, it surprised me which gave her an opportunity to deepen the kiss, and her tongue occupied my mouth. She pulled me closer again as now I was on top of the bed holding my body weight above her, neither of us had broken the kiss her hands wandered from my neck to down my body feeling every inch of it. One of my own hands began to travel around her body feeling her curves you never see underneath her hood, my hand continued to travel down until I hit a sensitive part. She winced back in pain breaking the kiss.
I had grazed my hand across her wound.
"Shit" I cursed half to her and to myself. I awkwardly got up off her "sorry I didn't think, I got um... carrie-"
"its fine" she replied shyly. A pink tint flushed briefly over her face as she quickly diverted her eyes from mine.
"I should probably tell everyone you're awake" I said running a hand through my hair.
Never in my life has it been so awkward, even losing my virginity was better than this.
"Okay" She said getting to her feet slowly "I'm going to go freshen up, I'll meet you in the kitchen I'm starving"
