Angel Bond (Angel Fire Series #1)

Chapter 22 - Confessions

Luke had lead Micah into his study around two hours ago. I’m bored out my face again which seems to be a regular occurrence and I’ve been twiddling my thumbs forever, so I decide to explore. The place has three floors with a greenhouse on the roof. Level one consists of a large seating area with a magnificent 52” TV, which I have become thoroughly acquainted with lately. The industrial sized kitchen is attached to the dining room, which had one table big enough to seat almost 20. To top it off there is a games room, which has a pool table, arcade games and some games consoles. A lot of the younger angels under Luke’s control hang out in there. At the back of the house is a gym and pool. Now I know why Luke is so muscular, and I was delighted when I looked in and saw all the topless angels working out. Yum! There is also Luke’s study, but I was told to stay out, so like a good little bond mate I did, but the curiosity grows every day,

The second floor was mainly guest rooms and huge bathrooms. I didn’t look in any of them in case someone was in there. In the bathrooms, the bathtubs were more like hot tubs. You could fit 4-6 adults in them and it blew massaging bubbles. But my favourite was the walk in shower; it had multiple heads which shoot water at you in all directions. Everything in the house was supersize. The third floor is closed off to guests, but not to me, ha! Our bedroom was up here, I was uncomfortable about sharing a bed at first, but after waking up wrapped in silky wings and a warm chest as a pillow, I was happy with the arrangement.

I miss my home a lot and my bedroom with my mountain of teddies that I can never seem to get rid of. Since I got here, he has banned the angels from coming in, claiming he wanted to ‘let me settle and not be intimidated.’ His words, not mine. This place just seems too clean; it’s a house, not a home. I wonder if he will let me redecorate.

I was just about to climb up into the greenhouse when I hear deep voices downstairs. “Emma!” Luke shouts. “Emma, where are you?” He sounds panicked. The deep chuckle from his companion only makes him growl.

“I’m here.” I call, hopping down the last flight of stairs huffing; I practically ran down the other one, I’m so unfit. He quickly sweeps me up into his arms and buries his head in my hair. His deep sigh rattles my bones.

“I thought you had gone again.” He snuggles deeper, and the move melts my heart.

“Nope, I was just exploring.” I rub his back in comfort. He steps back and puts me down; I hadn’t noticed my feet were off the ground.

“Ok lovebirds, you’re going to make me sick. Luke, I’ll see you tomorrow, Emma.” He takes my hand and kisses it, his lips are cold and gross on my skin. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet you. And congratulations on being the first girl to ever be held in his arms.” He winks and saunters out the front door with Luke glaring daggers into his back.

“Well… He was pleasant.” I grin. “But what did he mean by the first girl?”

“Nothing, come on, let’s get something to eat.” He grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen.

“You’ve had girlfriends before… right?” How has a Godly being like this remained single his entire life?

“Why do you assume I have?” He frowns. I must be gaping like a fish.

“You’re… hot, sexy, the list could go on! You must have had girls jumping at your feet, I mean, remember when you faked being a normal teen at my school? You were every girl’s fantasy!” My arms are waving around frantically, trying to emphasise my point.

Luke fidgets and a light blush graces his cheeks, making me gasp. “Luke… are you a virgin?” His head whips up so fast I step back in shock. His eyes are so wide that his eye balls bulge and his entire face flushes a deep red.
