Part 7 (1/2)
”Well I know it might be an obvious one but why isn't he called Judas?”
”Because he was renamed by Lucifer when he was reborn into his new vessel. His name means Light, I think this was the Devil's idea of a joke, considering his body burnt in the sunlight.”
”Um, I think my joke, about numbers was better,” I said giggling at how lame of a joke it was but hey I had been telling it since I was six years old. He tickled me, trying once again rather to distract me or get me to snort. Both I resisted.
”So he doesn't look the same...I mean as he did?”
”No, his body was beyond healing.” He said flatly.
”Ok... so does he have any special powers, 'cause that would be useful to know?” He was growing more aggravated with every question I asked. So I decided to add on a little extra to that question to b.u.t.ter him up.
”Because I find it hard to believe anyone could be as powerful as you.” It worked cause his frown was replaced with a smile and he kissed me but I kept my mouth shut...(morning breath).
”Lucius is like most with his powers, although he is an extremely skilled fighter. But what makes him stand above the rest are his powers of manipulation. He can control any mind, Demon, Angel and of course humans are as easy as breathing.”
”Can he even control you?” I held my breath but Draven's expression gave me the answer before he spoke.
”Yes... but the stronger the mind the harder it is, usually he can control many minds at once but with stronger minds, like mine, Vincent and Sophia's, he can only control one at a time. This makes him more vulnerable when against numbers.”
”Has he ever done it to you?” I knew I was stepping on thin ice, though I really was boiling over with questions but I also knew he had his limits.
”Yes once, and he was severely punished, so he won't be forgetting it any time soon!” Ok this was definitely the limit as he was scaring me with his intense staring. I had got the answers that I needed. Now I knew why Lucius was able to access my mind unlike most. It was a terrifying thought!
Draven was still looking angry so I jumped on top of him and kissed him over everywhere my lips could reach. He liked this and his mood quickly changed so we were soon thinking about other things we could be doing other than talking. But just before he could kiss me fully I clamped my hand over my mouth.
”Oh no you don't!” I grabbed the throw at the bottom of my bed and got up to wrap myself in it.
”Where are you going...oh wait... girlie human things again?” I nodded and said, ”Morning breath.” And he laughed to himself as I walked to the bathroom. I also wanted to check on something else and was more than happy when it hadn't come yet. I brushed my hair and plaited it so it lay down my back. I also got rid of my bad breath and washed my face. I went back in and he hadn't moved an inch. The sight of him made me want to run over to him, just to get there quicker. He was stunning! The morning light from my window made his skin look like golden sand. His hair was wild around his neck and was as black as night. His shoulders looked huge and solid. I wondered how something so hard and powerful could be so soft to the touch. And I might add, very comfortable to sleep on.
When I was within reach he didn't wait for me to climb back on top of him, he just grabbed me and put me there. The throw was on the floor and the covers only covered the lower parts of our bodies. He was happy and in more ways than one. Oh yes very, very happy...ooh...um. h.e.l.lo Commander Draven!
We were just kissing and fooling around when all of a sudden he stopped and held me tighter.
”Draven what is it?” His face was stone and his head whipped towards the door.
”There are other humans in the house.” I froze as I heard footsteps on the stairs. Then it happened too quickly for me to react properly, my door opened and I screamed. I wasn't the only one!
”ARRHHH.....OH my G.o.d! Oh s.h.i.+t!.., I'm so sorry, I ..I didn't think...”
”LIBBY!” I screamed as I fumbled for the sheets to cover us. Draven wasn't any help for laughing! Then it got worse as Frank burst into the room with a baseball bat in hand!
”What the...OH s.h.i.+t! OH Man!” He turned around covering his face with his hand and dragged Libby from the room, as she was still apologising. Once they left I could hear them both crack up. I was the only one in the house not laughing as the bed still vibrated from Draven's outburst!
”I CAN STILL HEAR YOU BOTH OUT THERE!” I shouted angrily, causing the giggling to cease and footsteps to be heard down the stairs.
I hit Draven on the chest but it didn't have much of an impact, like trying to break rocks with a jelly hammer!
”What's the use in having so many powers if you can't even prevent that from happening!” I dramatically pointed to the door. I was so ashamed, thank G.o.d we weren't actually doing more than kissing, ok we were both naked but it could have been worse.....not by much though.
”Do you want me to erase their memories?” He asked still being highly amused.
”You can do that?” I asked being hopeful but Draven just smiled like he was teasing me.
”I can but I won't, this was far too funny to have missed, for anyone.” And once again it set him off. I got up and got changed quicker than ever before. I didn't want to but I knew I had to go down there first.
”Stay here!” I warned and he nodded, still with a thick smirk plastered on his handsome face.
”As you wish, Vixen.” He said, sounding like a genie.
Libby and Frank were still giggling about it, when I walked in the kitchen.
”Morning Kaz!” Libby said like it had never happened but it would have been more convincing without the b.l.o.o.d.y great, big, childish grin she wore plastered all over her face.
”Stop that!” I said but as soon as Frank went back outside to get their bags from the car, she came over to me and put her arms around me to whisper in my ear.
”My, my, what a lucky girl you are... oh my!” She pulled back to reveal a huge smile. She of course was referring to the G.o.d like figure of a man lying upstairs in MY bed....d.a.m.n straight, I was lucky! I couldn't help but finally break down with laughter and lots of snorting! We were both in fits by the time Frank came back in.
Draven then made his appearance and was shaking Frank's hand in the hallway.
”Mr Draven, Sir,... please don't worry... you're welcome here.” Frank didn't sound right calling anyone sir but he was obviously intimidated by Draven's reputation and Draven did send a lot of work his way. His men were hired for the downstairs security at the club.
”Please Frank call me Dominic and thank you for your hospitality, it was rude of us not to ask if I could stay the night.” Oh come on, we weren't b.l.o.o.d.y teenagers!
”That's not a problem. Kazzy doesn't even need to ask.” He said, seeing me in the doorway and he came over to me to give me a bear hug, as it was Frank's way of saying h.e.l.lo to me. He had always treated me like his little sister and I loved it. But Draven looked frozen at the sight. He was ridged until Frank put me down.
”Hey Kaz, you miss us?” He said laughing and ruffling my hair.
”Sure, just wish I knew you were coming back early!” I said through my teeth.
”Yeah I bet you do!” He said before grabbing all the bags in one hand and running up the stairs with them. Libby came into view and I noticed she had pulled her hair down from the hair band that was holding it up. I had to stifle a giggle.
”Lib's you remember Dra... I mean Dominic, don't you?” Of course she did, Draven is the most unforgettable man in existence. She came forward and shook his hand that he had extended first.
”Of course, h.e.l.lo Dominic, how are you?” She said politely ”Very well thank you and I am sorry about you finding me in your home in such an inappropriate manner.” Oh Libby would be loving this, he sounded like Mr Darcy! She was a sucker for Colin Firth.
”It is fine, really, I guess I just never expected....well, you know. You're the first boyfriend of Kaz's that I have ever met.” She was fis.h.i.+ng for details now, I could tell. I turned to her and gave her a stern eye, which did nothing!
”Really, that surprises me.” He said while giving me a look as if to say ”We will be talking about this later.”
”Oh yeah, Kazzy rarely dated.”
”Ok enough of that, there is no need to go into details here,” I snapped and they both laughed. Well it didn't take my sister long to turn to the dark side! When she first heard I was working at the club, she was the first one to tell me things weren't right about the Dravens. Of course she didn't know why, just rumours she had heard. She tried everything in her power to stop me from working there but now it seemed she was more than pleased about the outcome...well that made two of us!
”Can I get you anything to drink?” She asked putting on her posh voice the way my mother always did when she had company.
”No thank you.” He replied in his smooth velvet voice and I thought my sister's legs would give way.
