The Moon & The Morningstar: 7 Deadly Sins

CH 79: #1 Demon Dad

MING'S POV

My alarm went off a few minutes ago and I quickly shut it off before it woke Kit. However, I was reluctant to leave the bed. Even though I know I have no choice, I've been delaying as long as possible due to enjoying the feel of a warm and soft Kit sleeping in my arms. He's exhausted, but that's expected since I woke him twice more during the night to make love. I couldn't seem to keep my hands off of him now that I'd had a taste of him.

Glancing at the bedside clock again, I sigh and slowly begin to unwrap myself from around his body. After I climb out of bed, his arm reaches out seemingly searching for me and I quickly shove a pillow into his hands. Snatching the pillow close to his body, he wraps his arms around it and settles back into a deeper sleep.

Moving quietly to the bathroom, I take a quick shower and get dressed. Instead of packing all my things, I throw my laundry into his dirty clothes hamper and leave my personal care items where they are. I just don't have the will power to pack everything back up. I desperately want to see my things in his bathroom and a change of my clothes in his closet, it makes me feel closer to him. Hopefully, Kit won't mind the extra clutter too much.

Leaving the bathroom, I move to the bed and place a gentle kiss on my sleeping kitty's forehead then stand up to leave. A hand wrapping around my wrist holds me in place though.

"You're going?" He asks in a sleepy voice.

Sitting back down on the bed beside him, I give him a soft kiss on the lips as I answer, "Yep. I need to get home, babe."

Sitting up to face me, he asks, "Will I see you later today?"

Tensing at his question, I try to think of an excuse but decide to stick to the truth as much as possible, "P'Kit, I might be really busy for a couple days with a special project, so I'm not sure I'll get a chance to see you. But I'll text or call as often soon as I can. Ok? And if everything works out, I should be free in a day or so. Friday at the latest."

He stares at me for a few seconds, almost weighing my words, before wrapping his arms around me tightly for a bone crushing hug. Giving him a much gentler hug in return, I pull back and tilt his head up for a last kiss before standing to leave. Once more his hand around my wrist stops me.

When I look down at him in question, he gives me a wobbly smile, "T-take care of y-yourself and don't do anything stupid."

Wow. My kitty is so silly. He's not acting like himself at all. In fact, he's acting like I'm leaving for... Fuck. He knows. Glancing at the clock, I know I'm going to be late now. Screw it though. Yo will have to deal with it, because this is more important.

Retaking my seat beside him on the bed, I get straight to the point. "What do you know?"

Meeting my gaze steadily, he nods his head. "Everything. I heard you and Yo talking on Sunday in the yard."

He's known since Sunday? "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I was going too. I was really angry at the two of you, but..."

When he tapers off, I have to prompt him, "But?"

Clearing his throat, he continues, "Pha came out to talk to me and when I told him what I heard and that I was mad... let's just say he wasn't at all supportive. He changed my mind."

That makes sense. Pha is having a hard enough time dealing with this whole situation as it is since he's stuck between his family and Yo. He definitely wouldn't want his best friends risking their lives on top of that.

"Since you already know, I'm going to give you a choice. Would it be easier for you to deal with this if you had details about what's going on or would it be easier if you didn't know any more than you do now? Remember, either way you still have to keep this a secret from Beam and Forth."
