For you, My Fiery Heart

Chapter 4

Neela was lying in the most comfy bed; she was warm and well rested. Neela stretched her sore mistreated body and sighed, content, until she cracked a heavy eye lid open and groaned. The room spun and her stomach did a mini flip.

"Ohhh," she moaned turning to her side to clutch her stomach, "Make it stop."

A cool hand touched Neela's forehead before smoothing her hair away from her face, "Drink this, you will feel better." A deep voice that clearly belonged to a man said, helping her sit up strong arms held her steady before pressing a cup to her lips. The liquid was warm, soothing her stomach and relaxing her body. Feeling a lot better now, Neela opened her eyes again, relieved, she turned to thank the kind man.

The hulking blue eyed devil stood beside the bed watching her. Stuttering, Neela pointed a shaking finger at him.

Expression bored, the devil covered his ears knowing what was going to happen. Neela let loose a blood curling scream. Eyes trained on the devil, Neela blindly searched for a weapon. When her hand grabbed hold on something solid, she thrust it at him threateningly. "I've got a," she peered down at her hand, she was holding the cup of unfinished tea, "Cup. And I ain't afraid to use it? God, I hate myself sometimes." Body sagging, Neela groaned and kicked the sheets at her feet like an angry child.

Movement from the devil's side had Neela scrambling up from the bed. Both hands on the cup, Neela stood on the bed raising the cup at the devil threateningly. Amusement played on the devil's features before his gaze lowered and amusement changed to desire. The devil's eyes flickered to her face and back down. Neela followed his piercing hot gaze down and gasped, eyes going owl wide. Someone had changed her clothes while she was out, now she stood with nothing on but a very big shirt that hung almost to her knees. The problem at hand here though was how loose the shirt hung on her small frame. Her baby girls, boobs, were almost out to say hello to the devil and he looked like he would very much like that.

"No way, nuh uh, don't even think about it." Neela shook her head at the devil who was now growling low at her. The predator was out now and from the look on his face, he wanted his prey.

"Away from me, devil!" Neela threw the remaining contents of the tea at the devil and the strangest thing happened. Wide eyed, Neela watched as the tea floated between them. As in out of space, no gravity float. Stunned, Neela dropped the cup in her hand onto the bed, "Bloody hell," she whispered.

In her moment of enthrallment Neela did not notice how close the devil had gotten to her. With a swipe of his tail, Neela fell back on the bed with an oof. Like the snake that he was, the devil worked quickly pinning her wrists above her head and trapping her legs between his strong ones.

Blinking a few times, Neela slowly processed what was happening. The devil had his face buried in her neck, inhaling her. He was on top of her and even though Neela's never felt an erection before, the hard thing between them could not be mistaken for anything else.

Tears formed and fell, Neela's body started to shake out of fear and she couldn't hold back her sobs. Slowly, the devil raised his face to look at her. After studying her face with concern he gently let her wrists go and wiped away a tear. Neela used this chance to put her arms around her chest and turned to her side, which the devil let by moving to lie next to her.

Both didn't say a word but laid facing each other, the devil hesitantly lifted a hand and brushed her hair away from her face before tracing patterns on her arm with a finger. Hesitant too, Neela studied the devil's features. He looked calm but troubled. That's good, he should be troubled by his actions. But still, Neela had to say something.

"Please don't hurt me." Neela whispered, the devil stopped his tracing on her arm but didn't move his hand. The devil's brows drew together as if in pain before he opened his mouth to say something but seemed like he couldn't find the right words. Struggling, the devil sat up, and Neela followed.

"I do not wish to harm you." The devil's deep voice vibrated.

"But you were almost going to rape me," Neela argued, and the devil's face fell.

"I am sorry my actions scared you, but I would never force myself on a female."

"What just happened then?"

The devil reeled back astounded, then as if coming back to his senses, "Were you not sent to me by Sybil?"

"Sent by who?" Neela scrunched her nose at him, then realized she didn't even know who this being was, "No, who are you? And most importantly, what are you?"

At her questions, the devil had a look as if he had just been slapped in the face. Instead of answering her, he moved away from her watching her in a cold calculating manner. The way he was watching her, as if she was everything that was wrong in the world. Neela could see his mind working, deciding on what to do. Hurt her? He absolutely looked like he wanted to right now, but Neela hadn't given him reason too.

Just in case he changed his mind on not hurting her, Neela quickly scanned for the cup she dropped earlier. It was the only thing closest to her that could provide some kind of protection. As soon as she saw the cup, Neela dove for it. Blurring fast, the devil knocked the cup to the ground before she could get to it.

"That won't help you," the devil now stood before her, tall and menacing.

"You said you wouldn't hurt me," Neela watched the devil warily backing up slowly away from him.

Moving with that lightning speed again, the devil had Neela pinned to the bed once more. This time, there was no gentleness or sniffing. The devil now watched her with cold blue slit eyes before he snatched her wrist up to him and brought a sharp claw to her palm. Neela could only watch as he slowly made a cut, drawing blood. Wincing, tears stung her eyes as she tried to pull her hand away but he was too strong. He watched on as blood swelled in her palm, minutes ticked by before he let her hand go only to hover over her little body.

"I am King the Last. Don't lie to me because I will know if you do, then I will really hurt you. What are you after, human?"
