To Bewitch a Devil

101 Trust me

She watched him dress, her eyes not leaving his body for a second. Zavian felt her gaze on him and he turned around, and their eyes met. Neera quickly looked away, turning to the fireplace.

She pursed her lips as she watched the flames, not daring to look back at him. She was never lucky whenever she gawked at him, he always caught her.

Neera listened to his footsteps walk about the room, and she tensed when she heard him walk toward her.

She folded her hands on her thighs when she heard his footsteps approach her. Zavian sat beside her on the couch, his fresh scent wafting into her nostrils;

“Dry my hair...” Zavian spoke, handing her a towel.

“Oh...” she breathed as she turned to him, taking the towel from his hand. She stood up and walked behind him. His hair was damp and droplets fell on his shirt.

Zavian leaned on the couch and closed his eyes as Neera dried his hair with the towel, silence filling the room.

The rain has ceased a while ago and only a tiny pitter-patter could be heard.

“My father is trying to return to earth,” Zavian spoke, breaking the silence. Neera paused when she heard him and then she continued dabbing his hair;

.....

“They say he’s trying to use you to get to me.”

At his words, Neera tensed, as goosebumps washed her skin. She stayed still unable to move for a few seconds; she tried to calm herself but she could not breathe.

Zavian suddenly raised his hand to her and held her hand, stopping her from moving. A few seconds passed, then he brought it to his face and kissed it.

Neera froze, as her heart skipped a beat. She could not move as she watched him hold her hand, and squeeze it softly.

“Is there anything strange that has happened recently?” He asked, and Neera breathed. Her mind was swirling with emotions as his words kept resounding in her ears.

She had been having these dreams, and then that strange being that appeared in her room, and the thing about the fire...

Where are they all connected to what he just said? Was she... was she here to cause his downfall?

Neera’s eyes watered as she pulled her hand from him, trembling.

Zavian turned around in surprise, only to see her crying.

“What is wrong? What happened?” He asked and Neera shook her head, her hands going over her lips. She inched away from him until her back hit the wall.

Zavian could not understand what was going on. Why was she acting strangely? Did something happen?

“You can talk to me... I won’t hurt you.” He said as he walked closer to her, but Neera cried;

“I think I’m going to hurt you... I think what they said is true.” As she spoke, more tears fell from her face. What did she do to deserve such a destiny?

She did not want to be involved with these demons, she just wanted to lead a peaceful life, was that so hard?

“Why do you say that? Did something happen?”

Neera wiped her eyes as she breathed; “My dreams, I see myself burning in flames, and then when I wake up, I see the candles turned on, I think it’s related to what you said...”

She explained, falling to the ground. Zavian went to her and pulled her in his arms;

“I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t want to hurt you...” Neera cried, holding his shirt. She did not want to be part of this, why did they choose her? Why?

“It’s okay. It was just a dream. Maybe you did not turn the candles off before you went to sleep. I don’t believe whatever they said... I trust you.”

Zavian spoke and Neera cried the more. She knew he wouldn’t even believe her, how would she explain that a normal human had lit candles on fire?

Zavian patted her back as he pulled her closer to him, nestling her in his arms.

Neera stopped crying after a while and he lifted her to her feet;

“It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a dream, okay?” He said, wiping the tears on her chin.

Neera breathed as she held his tender gaze. Even though they were demons and evil, he had not done anything bad to her, and he treated her nicely, she did not want to hurt him.

There was silence in the room as Zavian wiped her chin with his thumb and his eyes fell on her lips.

They stayed on it for longer and he breathed. Neera noticed his gaze and she blinked, looking everywhere but at his face.

The air became tense as Zavian leaned toward her. Neera’s heart pumped faster as he inched closer to her lips, but she did not move.

It was as though she wanted him to touch her. No, she yearned for him to touch her.

Her eyes looked back at him, her hands squeezing the sides of his shirt.

Zavian paused for a second and when he saw she was not looking away, he kissed her.

Neera trembled as his cold lips met hers, and her eyes closed. She breathed in as his hands moved up from her back and held her face, sucking on her lower lip.

Her breath ragged as he opened her lips with his tongue and kissed her deeper. Neera’s hands inched up and wrapped around his neck as he leaned to the other side, the kiss becoming intense.

His hands traced to the back of her dress and he undid the ties of her dress. Neera’s body trembled as his mouth left her lips and kissed down her neck.

She made a sound at the back of her neck that shocked her; her body was reacting against her will.

Neera tried to think but her head was fuzzy, the only thought in her mind was Zavian and his lips that set her body on fire.

She did not want to leave, heavens, she did not want him to stop.

His hands loosened the ties of her clothes and he pulled them downwards, releasing her breasts.

Neera shyly covered her chest as her cheeks burned; no man had seen her naked, and she was so embarrassed being laid bare.

Zavian held her hands and gently put them away, letting her bosoms free. His throat tightened as his eyes fell on them. They were a little bigger than her chest could carry and they stood upright, her nipples already hardened.

His hands raised to them and caressed her hard nipples before he kissed them, Neera moaned again, this time a little louder.

She quickly bit her lower lip, trying to stop herself. She should not be doing this... she knew she shouldn’t but why was she wanting him to touch her?

Why could she not control herself?

Neera yelped when her legs left the ground, as Zavian lifted her from the ground. He carried her to the bed, and placed her on it, all the while, his lips still latched to her breasts.

His hands caressed the other, as her hands dug into his hair;

Neera bit her lower lip as she arched her back towards him, her eyes twirling inwards.

She moaned when he kissed up her chest and nibbled on the softs of her neck.

Zavian’s hands came to her dress and he pulled it downwards, when he reached her waists, Neera held them, stopping him.

“Have they not been touched?” He asked, staring at her. Neera shook her head, biting her lower lip.

Zavian was surprised, he thought that she was having a thing with Axel.

“What of Axel? I thought...”

“We were just friends... ” Neera explained quickly, as though she didn’t want him to think that something was going on between them.

Zavian smiled in his heart as he leaned down and kissed her again;

“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you...” he whispered in her ears before he kissed her chin and down to her neck.

Neera trembled as he planted kisses down to her bosoms, kissing them for longer before proceeding downwards.

His hands held the sides of her dress and he pushed them down her legs.

Neera closed her legs and she covered her face with her hands, she was so shy. Zavian smiled and leaned to her face, pushing her hands away;

Neera shook her head, biting her lower lip, she was not sure she was ready for this. Her body yearned for him fiercely, but she heard that the first times were painful, she was not ready yet...

“It’s going to hurt...”

She said, staring into his eyes. Zavian kissed her forehead and chin and then her lips;

“Trust me... okay? We won’t go all the way, just let me touch you.”

Neera stared at him, and she nodded. She trusted him, she did not know why, she just did, as though she was under a spell.

Zavian sucked on her bosoms again before he pushed her cotton panties down her legs.

He kissed her legs and up her thighs. Pulling her closer to him, he sucked on the insides of her thighs.
