The Incubus & the Virgin

4. Lust

 “What are you talking about?!” I looked around as he began to stalk forward once again.

 “I can hear the pulse in your veins. Your heart is beating so fast, it reminds me of a humming bird’s wings.” It was as if he was taking a stroll in the park.

I felt frozen in place, my legs couldn’t move. A bead of sweat dripped down my neck.

“Answer my questions!” I managed to yell.

 “No.” He smiled lazily in front of me and pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear, grazing my cheek slightly.

 The place that he touched burned and I held in a gasp. I looked up into his eyes and saw that we had a similar reaction. His eyes narrowed like a predator getting ready for the chase. The thing I didn’t understand the most was why I didn’t fear this man. I didn’t know who he was or how we had gotten to my family’s cabin but part of me was just happy that he was near me. I hated that part.

 His green jaded eyes stared back into mine and they looked hungry. With my back against the tree and him being mere inches away from me, he didn’t make a move to touch me more than what he already did. Instead his eyes grazed over my body. From my eyes, past my lips, down my neck, the curve from my breast to my hips and down my legs. I shivered under his gaze and his eyes locked back onto mine. Him being so near to me wasn’t good enough, I wanted more. I wanted him to touch me.

 “Please tell me your name…” It sounded as if I was begging, he smirked.

 “Let’s play a little game. You get to ask three questions, but in return I get three kisses.”

 It felt like there were a thousand butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I’ve only been kissed by one other guy before, it was junior year of high school and the worst experience of my life. The only other guy to make me feel even slightly like this was Adrian.

 "I-I don’t know how to k-kiss…”

 I bit my bottom lip and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks in embarrassment. My eyes casted down, I waited for him to laugh and humiliate me.

 “It’s like you want me to take you by force.”

 Before I had a chance to respond, he pulled my face to his and kissed me roughly. Coaxing my lips open, he slide his tongue into my mouth. I moaned against his lips and he deepened the kiss, his hands made their way into my hair, balling it into a fist. A feral need came over me, I've never desired anything like how I desired him. His lips tasted of nectar, it was rich and sweet, it made me feel as though I've been suffering from starvation my whole life without it. I bit his bottom lip, wanting to get more from him, in response he pulled my face away from his slightly and smirked at the disappointed look on my face.

 “Leviathan.”

 “Huh?” I felt dumbfounded and confused. I wasn’t done kissing just yet…

 “My name is Leviathan.”

 It sounded almost relic, I’ve never heard a name like it before. Leviathan rubbed his thumb against my bottom lip before grabbing my chin, making me look directly back at him. His eyes were smoldering and I could tell he was straining himself to not continue.

 “Next question.”

 I thought slowly and carefully. ”Why are you wearing a suit?”

“It means business.” Leviathan’s answers always seemed to be short and to the point.

Leviathan picked me up swiftly fastening my legs around his waist with my still against the tree. Both of his hands entrapped my face pulling it towards him, our lips locked. It felt like electric currents ran through my body. This kiss felt different, more sensual. Leviathan ran his hands down the curve of my body and to the hem of my black uniform shirt where he pulled it up slowly, making me shiver. His hands were softer than I expected, like they never knew what hard work was. His hands stopped underneath my breast, where the under wire for my bra began. Leviathan pulled my bra down roughly and cupped my bare breasts, I moaned against his lips. I scrambled to loosen his sleek black tie before Leviathan pulled my hands away abruptly.

 “In a rush, are we?” He sounded composed were I was the exact opposite.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

 “Is that your final question?”

I adjusted his tie and smoothed it down before replying. “Who are you?”

Slowly he unwrapped himself from me, keeping his eyes on mine. I felt cold without him, even with the sun still above us. The wind blew softly, and the wild flowers swayed. For a moment I forgot where we were, I was so consumed with Leviathan every time he was near me. It ached for him to be inches away from me again. I wasn’t expecting him to pull away from me like this, it was almost a sense of loneliness.

“I am the eldest of Satan’s sons. I am Lust from the seven deadly sins.”

Leviathan’s voice sounded strange and distant, the world around us started to shake. The sky went from bright blue and sunny to clouded and gray. My mind couldn’t wrap around what his just said, yet not one bit of me didn’t believe what he was saying. For the past couple of months, this… this monster has been appearing in my dreams trying to seduce me. A crack of thunder shook the ground as lightning lit the sky, it started to down pour.

Leviathan sighed. “I knew this was going to happen. Looks like our visit is cut short.”  

I tried to hide the fact that I was shaking. My heart felt like it was going to burst from my chest. The man in front of me was a demon, a monster. Another clasp of thunder roared and the world seemed to be tearing apart from the inside out.

“Fear looks best on you.” Leviathan lick his lips and leaned down towards my neck. I flinched in response. He gently placed a kiss where he last bit me. “My mark.” Leviathan’s smile seemed more corrupt, more tainted.

Lightning struck the ground next to us, my knees buckled in response. I looked up at Leviathan’s face one last time and it seemed dark and merciless, maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me but I never noticed the ruthlessness behind his beauty. I started gasping and my vision started to fade. Leviathan stood above me looking down at my state.

“You are something, Alana. Able to break my illusions, it’s a first for me…”  Was the last thing I heard from his sickly sweet voice.
