Part 42 (1/2)

”To...?” Once again he was mocking me but I noticed he had got closer to me and was holding me tighter on the arms.

”To grow up! Yes, you need to grow up. I mean you're a b.l.o.o.d.y half Demon and my stupid words hurt you. You know I didn't mean it and it's your fault anyway!” I had to stop because for some reason I couldn't manage talking and breathing at the same time.

”And how is this all my fault exactly?” He was letting his guard down because he was most definitely more amused than angry even though I was shouting at him.

”I can't help that you have so many beautiful women all lining up. A string of ex G.o.ddess girlfriends that want to make ashtrays out of my head!” Ok, so now he was laughing at me and this made me push him.

”Stop it!”

”I would if it wasn't all so ridiculous.” He said without letting me go...this was probably more for my own good as I would have no doubt landed on my b.u.t.t.

”You're saying my feelings are ridiculous?”

”Yes and your state of inebriation just adds to it!” Ok this time I did manage to pull away and after a wobble here and there I stayed on my feet at least.

”Steady!” He said reaching to me but didn't make contact.

”My feelings are not funny! Do you think I like feeling so inferior?”

”And how exactly do I make you feel inferior? Do I not give you everything, do I not treat you well, have I not given my heart to you?” Ok angry Draven again. Now it was his turn to be dramatic. When I didn't answer he carried on.

”I have given you parts of myself that I never knew I had to give. I will do anything for you, you know this and as you said so delicately, that YES I am in fact a Demon and yet your words cut me down like the Devil's touch. Does that not tell you something? Does that not scream out to you just how much I must care, love and adore you, if but only a few words do this to me? My G.o.d Keira, think woman!” Ok so now my rage had been replaced by tears of feeling very, very sorry for myself.

”Don't do that.” He said calming down his outburst.

”Do what?” I snuffled out while rubbing my runny nose on my sleeve.

”Keira, please don't cry.” This somehow made me cry more and he reached out to hold me but I pulled back.

”I'm not crying! I have a cold.” I said lamely and when he tilted his head it reminded me of all those times before. The times when people used to do that after the 'incident' I would say ”I'm fine” And they would tilt their heads in disbelief.

”Come here, let me see.”

”You can't see a cold Draven.” I stated and he smiled at me.

”I can, Supernatural remember? Come to me.” He held out his hand for me to take but I remained stubborn.

”Did you really mean all that stuff?” I asked sniffing and rubbing my nose again.

”Yes I did. Those are my feelings Keira, whether you wish to believe them or not. It is the truth and it pains me you have to ask...when will you trust me Catherine?” He said my first name like it would get through to me, making more of an impact...of course it worked, the jammy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

”It's not you that I don't trust.” At this he shook his head, he didn't understand me.

”It's me.” He looked hurt at this and ran his hands through his hair, which was a clear sign he was frustrated by my answer.

”You're...you're not sure about your feelings for me?” It looked painful to ask.

”No it's not that. I know how I feel and I love you more than I have ever loved anything else before in my life. But I don't trust myself not to screw it all up!” There it was, it was out now for Draven to have to deal with. He looked pretty relieved if you asked me.

”Oh Keira my girl, you would have to do something pretty extreme to change the way I love you.”

”Like?”

”Well I wouldn't take kindly to you trying to kill me!” He joked...like I could, it would be like the moth against the flame.

”And cheating is a big no, no!” I said more for his benefit than mine, knowing I never would.

”NO! No one should ever touch you! Keira this is something I would never allow, you understand?” He looked furious at the idea and his purple eyes expressed it deeper.

”Well that goes the same for you too mister!” I said standing up to him and poking him in the chest. He looked shocked that even in his full Demon rage I would still stand up to him. His shock soon turned to delight and pride.

”I am not afraid of you!” I said holding my chin high. He then grabbed quickly at the tops of my arms and pulled me close. I had to strain my head back to see his face.

”I would have it no other way my little vixen!” He said down at me before crus.h.i.+ng his lips to mine.

And with that kiss I felt the weight of the day and evening lift and fade away into the night...well as far as I was concerned the night could have it!

Because now Draven had forgiven me Well, it was about b.l.o.o.d.y time!

Chapter 44.

Pa.s.sageways And Persuasion.

I don't know how it happened, but when he had finished with me I was left feeling even more drunk and also h.o.r.n.y! I had to step back from him to clear my head, which was difficult considering I was feeling very drunk.

”Where are you going, come back to me?” He was being demanding but in my stubborn mind I was calling the shots which is what I decided to tell him.

”Excuse me Mr Demon King, I'm the one in control here. You just remember that please.” I said flicking hair back that was already back. I wasn't what you called the smoothest drunk in the pub, that was for sure!

Draven straightened up and looked like he was trying not to laugh.

”I am sorry my princess, what would you wish for me to do?” I smiled at the thought, I then crossed my arms and tapped my top lip, missing the first time and hitting my nose. This he laughed at, which earned him a look of warning.

”Forgive me your highness for my insolence. It will not happen again.” He then bowed to me like I was royalty, making me giggle. I tried to compose myself and I coughed back another giggle.

”See that it doesn't. Hehe this is fun right?” I laughed out and he rolled his eyes at me before laughing again.

”If you say so, love.”

”Hey, less of the mocking and placating please. You're ruining my fun.” I pouted my lips together making him stare at them like he wanted to bite me.

”I think I play the beast better than the servant, so maybe we should play that game instead.” He said, giving me a c.o.c.ky smile that crooked up on one side.

”Oh no, this is my game and I won't be bullied. Besides, you're too used to getting your own way, but not tonight Mister!”

”Is that rightly so...Umm, then pray tell me mistress, what would you have me do to please you?” His voice left little b.u.mps on my skin at how seductive it sounded. I had to close my eyes as my belly filled with pure liquid temptation. When I took a deep breath to clear my head I opened my eyes and screamed out. Draven had moved towards me so close that his face was now level with my own.
