Of Feathers and Fire - Book 2

Chapter 4

Hunters POV

I stood there dumbfounded, Willow killed Alexa with snakes, fucking snakes. I guess she has more power of nature than I thought. The lightening, the snakes the fire colour of her eyes, her powers are becoming strong and that can only mean one thing, her nightmares are keeping her on edge all the time and her body is spiking and bursting with power that should be used for good and definatly not kill someone whom she imagined a threat. But then again Alexa did get the better of her and she is better off dead and out of my way.

Then it hit me, Willow caught Alexa on my lap. I slapped the palm of my hand into my head, Alexa had come into the door and planted herself there, I tried to get her off but she extended her nails into my back around where my heart would be situated and threatened me not to move. Of course Willow would have thought that, I would have.

I picked Willow up off the floor and gently lay her on the bed with her wings tucked next to her

''Oh my Willow'' I stroked her face ''you don't deserve this''

And I walked back to the office, I picked Alexa's body up and burnt it in the back garden.

''how could I have been so stupid to think Alexa wouldn't so something like this'' I sighed and watched her body burn

''I guess the past catches up to you faster than you might have thought'' I heard Willow say as she stood next to me ''she was on the mountain with me earlier'' I caught her looking at me through the corner of her eye ''you had her in the same bed as you fuck me in''

I was shocked at Willows choice of words but the truth is, Willow was right, I haven't changed the bed but I didn't fuck her, I made love to her

''I'll change the bed then'' I said bluntly ''anything else?''

''Yes'' she turned to look at me ''I want to leave here''

''And where would you want us to go?''

''Not us, me''

My heart felt like it had a knife through it

''Are you leaving me?'' I had to ask

''No...'' she sighed and her wings drooped ''after today, I need to be alone like all creatures''

''But I'm not alone'' I stared at her ''I have you''

''You aren't with me Hunter, you go off to meetings and leave me in bed'' she started to play with her hands and I knew something wasn't right ''and we don't make love and you just seem...'' she looked up at me with tears in her eyes ''not interested and then I saw you...''

And I just held her face and kissed her, she didn't know it but I really do love her and things between us have been different but what was I meant to do if she was reluctant to want to open up.

She kissed me back and I felt the warmth of her tears rolling down her cheeks. I looked at her and we kept our foreheads pressed together

''Willow I am sorry'' I breathed out ''Alexa was going to rip my heart out until you stormed in, I have the marks on my back to prove it, you saved me''

I heard her whimper and we both fell beside the burning body

''I did something today...'' she sniffed and looked at me ''I touched myself to the thought of you'' she went redder in her cheeks and smiled ''and it felt good''

I instantly started to feel my manhood writher in my pants and squirm

''go on...'' I ushered her

''I came on my fingers'' she looked away and bit her bottom lip ''it was the first time I did something like that''

My heart started racing, imagining her fingers all over herself, moaning, groaning and thrusting inside of her and imagining her face as her body tensed and came on her fingers. Her arousal filled my nostrils as she went over her doings of the day

''Willow...'' I growled ''inside''

We got up and walked inside, I sat on the coffee table and she sat on the couch.
