				She wasn’t exactly why she was following this man home.&nbsp; She wasn’t sure why she was perfectly alright with him pushing her against the wall. Couldn't understand why she was happy with him running a hand down her side while his opposite hand tangled within her long brown hair.&nbsp; She couldn’t even really remember how it had started.&nbsp; She remembered going to a popular nightclub in Budapest, remembered trying to buy herself a drink but found it difficult to get the bartenders attention, someone had helped her…but after that…it was all him.&nbsp; And it was all him.&nbsp; Angel had always been proud of her looks.&nbsp; She had a toned body, and soft features that often got men interested in her…but him….there had never been anyone like him.&nbsp; He was overwhelming; his very presence overlapping hers like a tidal wave.&nbsp; His touches turned her mind into putty; and she found herself not caring as he drew her away from the city, lured her with kisses and sweet nothings in her ear.<br><br>She knew he wasn’t planning anything foul; knew he wasn’t planning on leading her to this huge mansion of a home in order to murder her in his basement.&nbsp; Angel would have known, ever since she’d been a child she had been able to see through deceit; was able to see past the lie and hear the truth behind it, as though the person in question had told her the truth in the first place.&nbsp; It had caused her quite a lot of trouble in her youth, but she had gotten a lot better at hiding the fact that she only heard truth when people spoke.&nbsp; Mostly it involved only working with people through email and letters.<br><br>In any case, this man, Paris, was just after getting her into bed.&nbsp; And as he began to suck playfully at her earlobe, she didn’t have a doubt in the world that he would succeed.<br><br>He was just leading her down the hallway, kissing her and pressing her up against him all the while, when a nearby door opened.&nbsp; Barely coherent, so lost in pleasure as she was; Angel stares up at the man that had intercepted her and Paris’s trip to the bedroom.&nbsp; It was then that her breath got caught in her throat.&nbsp; Her blue eyes clashing with the mans own, any and all thoughts of Paris fly out of her mind.&nbsp; She couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, could only continue gazing into the eyes of one of the most impressive looking men she’d ever laid eyes on.&nbsp; <br><br>-----------------------------------<br><br>Maddox was feeling restless.&nbsp; He’d already demolished two punching bags today; and he was still feeling on edge.&nbsp; His demon had been acting wild as of late, coming out at the smallest stressor.&nbsp; It was as though he was losing any sense of control, and even as he continued to exhaust himself with the treadmill, with the weights, even with god damned jump rope; he only became more enraged, more fierce, more deadly.&nbsp; He needed a battle, he needed something, anything that could ease the thick tension that was wrapped around every inch of him. He needed it soon, before his willpower finally broke and he went mad with violence, ruthlessly attacking those he held closest to his heart.&nbsp; It wasn't even as though he could go off in search of a fight.&nbsp; He needed to stay near the mansion at all times, due to his curse.&nbsp; Every night, when the clock struck twelve, he was to be chained down in the basement.&nbsp; From there Reyes would strike him.&nbsp; Six times.&nbsp; Six god forsaken times.<br><br>And then Lucian would send him to hell.&nbsp; Every single night Maddox was forced to endure the endless flames licking his body, burning his bones to ash only to have them reformed a moment later.&nbsp; Only to have them burned to a crisp again.&nbsp; What would he give for one night of freedom from this? What would he give to be able to spend one night asleep, rather than in the darkest depths of hell.&nbsp; But that would never happen.&nbsp; He knew that, and he knew why as well.&nbsp; But he would not dwell on that.&nbsp; Not when there were other things to attend too.<br><br>Torin, holder of disease had called him a short time ago; informed him of a disturbance in their security system.&nbsp; A small number of people had crossed the main boundaries of the mountain, and were steadily heading up from the woods, heading straight towards the mansion.&nbsp; He'd go check it out, and take out any intruder that might appear.<br><br>Perhaps that would ease his desire to harm others, calm the tension that refused to leave him; no matter how many times he worked himself to exhaustion.&nbsp; He practically hoped it was a group of hunters come to attack him and his life long companions.&nbsp; At least that would give him an excuse to kill, to destroy, to ease the desires of his demon.&nbsp; <br><br>With that thought in mind, Maddox equips himself with the proper amount of weapons, strapping a few guns to his side, and hiding a large amount of daggers along his back.&nbsp; Making sure that all his weapons had the correct amount of ammo, a dark smirk crosses the dangerous looking mans features Heading out of the mansion; the lord of violence barely makes a sound as he treks through the woodsy area.&nbsp; He was going hunting, and no one in their rights minds would want to cross paths with him while he was out.&nbsp; God help the trespassers; Maddox was out for blood.<br>

				"I see that your taste in woman has dropped drastically," Gideon said, looking at the woman that was tucked against Paris's side.&nbsp; Carefully, he let his eyes roam over her body, inch by slow god-forsaken inch.&nbsp; She was beautiful alright, very beautiful, but then again, he didn't really expect anything less than that from the women that Paris brought home.&nbsp; He looked back up at Paris, a slow smile curling the corners of his lips.&nbsp; "I don't know what you see in her..." he drawled slowly at his friend, as both of them exchanged a bit of a knowing glance.<br><br>In Gideon speak, that meant that she was by far the most beautiful woman that he had laid eyes on, and that any man would be quite grateful to have her attentions.&nbsp; The thing with Gideon was that he was cursed.&nbsp; He was cursed in the way that every single word he uttered had to be a complete and utter lie, less he face pain that no one should ever have to know.&nbsp; His friends knew this...Paris knew this, and that was the reason he knew that the one that loved women so much didn't lash out at him for calling the waomn anyth8ing less than beautiful.<br><br>As Gideon let his eyes wander up slowly to the woman's face, he caught her staring at him.&nbsp; Slowly, he returned a very cautious look in her direction, and then went back to slowly sizing her up.&nbsp; He had to be on his guard, because after all, this girl could very well be Bait.&nbsp; It was something that they were weary of each time Paris brought home one of his conquests.&nbsp; He had never really been one to take notice of any of the women that his friend brought home, finding it simpler to keep women out of the equation of his life for good.&nbsp; He was sure that no one would want to be near anyone that told lies for a living, not that he would blame them.<br><br>"It's okay," Gideon said, in the joking manner that he was known for.&nbsp; "You can keep staring...I know Paris really won't mind," he said, throwing a subtle wink at the woman.&nbsp; Seeming pleased with himself, and ignoring Paris completely, he turned on his heel, walking back out of the room, his boots clicking on the stone floor of the fortress.&nbsp; Turning back around one more time, he looked at the woman, taking in her complete figure and being once more before exiting finally, out of her vision.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Kaeli ran frantically through the woods, twigs snapping beneath her bare feet, and stray tree branches leaving marks and welts at her calves.&nbsp; She didn't dare turn around, afraid that the simple movement would slow her down and ultimately end up in costing her life.&nbsp; She should've known better than to go out so openly during the day.&nbsp; She knew that they were looking for her.&nbsp; She knew that it was only a matter of time before they caught up with her scent and found her.&nbsp; It was just...It had been a hot day, and the stream that she had stumbled upon had flowing, cool water that she was sure would have seemed so refreshing against her skin.&nbsp; She couldn't resist the urge, and so she decided to go for a swim.<br><br>That was when the demon nymphs had made their appearance.&nbsp; Alexia couldn't remember what had given her the strength to get out of the water so quickly, but she had done so, and she had taken off running, not having enough time to slip on her clothes even.&nbsp; Now, it was a run for her life, because she knew if these demons had caught up with her, she would be taken captive, and brought back to those who hunted her, to be killed.&nbsp; That is, if she wasn't killed on tyhe spot right away.<br><br>She hoped that she could keep running, at least until she found a suitable hiding spot in which to lead them off of her trail.&nbsp; It was either that, or hope that they would tire soon enough.&nbsp; Alexia didn't hold much hope out for the second of those two options.&nbsp; If she could just find another body of water, she would be able to jump in and hide herself, being that she could manipulate water and a bit of fire to an extent.&nbsp; She was a nymph, a daughter of Poseidon, as some called her, not knowing how wrong that statement was.<br><br>She let out frantic prayers in her mind to the Gods that she once knew, the same ones that she once served, knowing that they would not help her.&nbsp; They would not be able to come to her aid.&nbsp; She could feel herself slowing down in her pace.&nbsp; She had been for a few minutes now, since the terrain had started curving upwards.&nbsp; It was getting harder to keep up, but yet, she knew better than to stop.&nbsp; If she stopped, then they would surely get her, and she knew that they would not be merciful.<br><br>Without another thought, she found herself falling down to the ground, her face hitting the hard soil beneath it.&nbsp; "No..." she whimpered softly, scrambling to get up.&nbsp; "Please...no...Not like this..." she whispered, as the growl of the demons following her got louder.<br>

				As the blue haired man speaks, a bright blush sprawls itself across Angel's face.&nbsp; She wasn't like a normal person, who would automatically get enraged by the mans cruel sounding words.&nbsp; Angel was different.&nbsp; She was physically incapable of hearing a lie; she didn't even know when one was being told to her.&nbsp; When Gideon talked to Paris about his drop in taste, the words that Angel heard might as well have been, 'this is the most beautiful girl you've brought here.'.&nbsp; "Thank you." the young woman responds to his complements softly.&nbsp; Paris hadn't shown any facial expressions of being upset; so there was no warning for Angel, she saw no signs that she should be wary before speaking.&nbsp; It was for moments like this that she preferred writing to normal conversation. It stopped awkward moments like this from happening.<br><br>Finding herself shivering as she feels his gaze run down her body, Angel finds herself subconsciously moving away from Paris; unknowingly having shifted towards the unknown man.<br><br>She wakes up from her revere however, as she hears him talk about her staring, and how Paris wouldn't mind.&nbsp; Of course, as always; she heard it in a different manner.&nbsp; Heard it as a warning that she was upsetting the man who was supposed to have been her one night stand.&nbsp; At this point however, she couldn't remember what she'd seen in him back at the bar.&nbsp; He was still attractive; that hadn't changed, it was just that... she wasn't attracted to him anymore.&nbsp; Finding herself at a surprising loss as the enrapturing man turns around and walks away; Angel finds herself with the overwhelming desire to follow him.<br><br>"W-who was that?" she asks, turning her gaze back to Paris for the first time since Gideon's arrival.&nbsp; Already wanting to know more about the man, to see him again.<br><br>------------------------<br><br>Moving swiftly, hearing the loud sounds of branches breaking, and awkward movement occuring withint he depths of the woods; Maddox mouth raises into a dark snarl as he finds himself in front of a naked female.&nbsp; She was beautiful.&nbsp; Even in her exhaustion she looked like the woman found in most mens wet dreams.&nbsp; Her sweaty and desprate state made it almost appear as though she'd just been pleasured, as though she was basking in the afterglow of orgasm, and didn't know what to do with herself.<br><br>She was bait.<br><br>It was obvious.&nbsp; She was too pretty, too sexual.&nbsp; Honestly, it had to have been one of the most pathetic attempts he'd ever seen.&nbsp; Did the hunters really believe that they would fall for a naked woman in the woods?&nbsp; What would a woman be doing naked in the woods? They could have at least come up with something a bit more believable.&nbsp; Pulling out his gun, he glowers down at the woman; preparing to end her life then and there.&nbsp; Before he can even say anything to her, other noses can be heard; and then he see's them.&nbsp; Demons.&nbsp; <br><br>A twisted and evil smile can be found on Maddox's face, as the face of violence, the face of his demon emerges; making him appear truly terrifying, truly deadly.&nbsp; Which made sense, because that was what he was.&nbsp; With a roar, he releases load after load of bullets.&nbsp; But just shooting them wasn't enough.<br><br>Dropping his gun to the floor, he pulls out his dagger and begins slashing and hacking away at the minor beasts.&nbsp; To a human, they would have been all powerful; to someone like Alexia, to a nymph; they would have been dangerous.&nbsp; But to the man who was basically violence incarnate? He might as well have been swatting flies.&nbsp; Truth be told, one or two managed a pretty fierce blow against him, not that he noticed.&nbsp; No, at this point Maddox was far too wrapped up in blood lust; he was lost in the heat of battle, and only the most incapacitating of wounds could have stopped him.<br><br>When he finally destroys the last of the demons; his breath is heated and shallow.&nbsp; It wasn't over yet, he still wasn't done.<br><br>Returning his dagger in the proper position, the dark haired man jerks forward and grabs the woman by her hair, pulling her up by her soft locks.&nbsp; "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you now." The man snarls at her, every inch of him showing what was hidden inside of him; his face was the picture of the hideous demon violence.

				"I wouldn't waste your time on him," Paris murmured, following the woman's gaze to his friend.&nbsp; It wouldn't take a genius to figure out what was going on.&nbsp; His...date was, it seemed, more attracted to his best friend, than she was to him.&nbsp; "He doesn't do women..." Pausing, he added, "or men either..."&nbsp; He knew that his statement was going to cause the woman to ask questions, and lots of them.&nbsp; He would have to decide what he wanted to do with those questions.&nbsp; He wasn't used to making up such lies as these.&nbsp; Coming up with alibis was something that better suited Lucien, maybe even Maddox when the man's head was on right, but definitely not him.&nbsp; He never really brought women back to the compound and when he did, he was sure to have them outside, in the woods.&nbsp; This one had shown lots of promise though, but now, he was beginning to wonder of all of that had been for nothing, as it seemed she didn't noticed that he was actually in the same room with him.<br><br>Deciding to cover his bases ahead of time, he looked at the woman that was standing next to him.&nbsp; "And don't ask me why.&nbsp; That's not for me to tell," he said.&nbsp; <em>There, that should keep her shut up for now,</em> he thought in his mind, hoping that the statement would prove to be true.<br><br>It wasn't until Paris settled back down next to her that he realized that she had asked him a question as to who his friend was.&nbsp; Thinking carefully, he decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell the woman Gideon's name.&nbsp; First names didn't hurt.&nbsp; That was probably all she was going to get out of anyone about him anyways.&nbsp; "His name is Gideon," Paris said, his voice coming out in a low, sultry purr this time.&nbsp; He bent his head, placing a kiss to the side of Angel's neck, murmuring softly in her ear.&nbsp; "Now, why don't we continue this in my room?" he murmured, his large hands spanning the width of her tiny waist easily.<br><br>In the kitchen, Gideon stood at the island in the middle, hands firmly planted on the marble counter.&nbsp; He was having a hard time thinking straight.&nbsp; All he could see in his mind's eye was the face of the girl that Paris had brought home.&nbsp; SHe was a pretty little thing, and she seemed to be interested in him, or at least that's what he had gathered from the way the girl was looking at him.&nbsp; Howeve,r he didn't really know what she could see in him.&nbsp; He wasn't anything out of the ordinary, and he certainly didn't consider himself good-looking, at least not like Paris or even Maddox, even with his beast.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia gasped out softly as she heard the sounds of carnage behind her.&nbsp; She couldn't believe her eyes as she turned around.&nbsp; Someone had come to her resscue.&nbsp; But why?&nbsp; The question filled her mind completely as she tried to make sense of the situation.&nbsp; She had learned to trust nothing since she had been banished from Olympus.&nbsp; There was too much at stake to have someone have her trust.&nbsp; Trusting someone meant that she made herself vulnerable, and when she was vulnerable, nothing good could come of the situation.<br><br>She made sure to keer herself hidden, not wanting anyone else to spot her.&nbsp; She was naked, and indecent as it were, and she didn't know how many more of these creatures were around, or even if her supposed rescuer wasn't after her head himself.&nbsp; Her eyes remained locked on the man as he decimated the monsters one by one.&nbsp; She watched the movements of his body, measured and precise, and knew that he was skilled in the art of killing, something that she wasn't sure was a good thing or not.<br><br>Alexia whimpered softly, feeling a strong hand grab her hair viciously.&nbsp; She looked at her captive, tears in her eyes.&nbsp; SHe hadn't expected him to turn on him so viciously.&nbsp; Maybe it was a trick after all.&nbsp; Maybe there was more than one person who was out to get her head.&nbsp; Maybe she had angered the gods so much that they had decided that she was to die as soon as she was found.&nbsp; She would never know now, because she sensed that her death was imminent, whether she wanted to die or not.&nbsp; These were to be her last moments on this Earth.<br><br>"Please...if you are going to kill me, do it quickly," she begged him, tears in her eyes.&nbsp; If this was how her life was to end, she didn't want to linger here, dying a slow and painful death.&nbsp; She wanted it to be done and over with.&nbsp; At least, when she was death, she wouldn't have to live the kind of existence that she had before.&nbsp; She wouldn't have to be alone.&nbsp; She wouldn't have hide in fear anymore.<br>

				Blinking in surprise as she hears Paris's claim that the blue haired man was interested in neither men or woman, Angel runs a hand through her hair; furrowing her brow as she tries to figure out what that was supposed to mean.&nbsp; He wasn't lying; apparently...the other man just wasn't interested in any kind of relationship, short term or otherwise.&nbsp; "Why not?" she continues questioning, using the man she'd been so desperate to have inside of her as a kind of segway to the other man.&nbsp; She wasn't even sure why she was so interested in the blue haired man.&nbsp; Normally she wasn't into the kind of guy that had piercings all over him, but something about him...it was magnetizing, something about him was able to draw her in like nothing ever had before.&nbsp; She wanted to know more about him, wanted to talk to him again. <br><br>Frowning as Paris counteracts her statement with demanding she not ask in the first place, she glances back to the place where the other man had left from, eyes lingering in the place before turning back to Paris once more when he confides the other mans name to her and begins to kiss at her neck and whisper sweet nothings in her ear.<br><br>Fidgeting in obvious discomfort; Angel shifts her position, pulling away from the embrace that had tempted her so successfully before.&nbsp; "You know...I don't know about this." She says, offering him a sheepish smile as she rises from her seated position, pulling his large hand off of her waist.&nbsp; "Its not that I don't like you," she begins, trying to soothe the mans ego. "It's just..I'm not, you know.." she says; eyes darting around the room as she tries to work out a way to get out of the situation without lying.&nbsp; Now that, of course; was the price for her power.&nbsp; Angel might be able to see through any lie that may come her way, but she found it impossible to verbalize a lie herself.<br><br>------------------------------------------<br><br>Eyes narrowed as he watches the young woman burst into tears and beg him to give her a quick death, Maddox found himself battling with his internal demon.&nbsp; At the front of his mind, he knew he should kill this girl.&nbsp; It didn't even matter if he abides her wishes and killed her quickly or not.&nbsp; The smartest thing to do would be to take his dagger and slit her throat, or even just twist her neck around.&nbsp; But he didn't do that.&nbsp; Instead he found himself squatting down, and easing up on her hair.&nbsp; He still had a firm grip on her, he was no fool.&nbsp; He remembered when Baden fell for these kinds of tricks.&nbsp; His poor friend wound up with his head chopped off.&nbsp; It had been horrible.&nbsp; And how, how the hunters had payed for it that day.<br><br>It was because of those past events that Maddox was so wary of the girl. But..he was confused.&nbsp; How did the hunters manage to control minor demons well enough to train them to attack the girl.&nbsp; Taking his hand off of her hair, he instead grips both of her arms, trapping them both to her sides as he glares into her eyes.&nbsp; "Why were the demons attacking you?" he demands; his hold on her hard enough to likely leave her with bruises of imprints of his fingers.&nbsp; <br><br>He should kill her now and be done with it.&nbsp; He knew that doing otherwise would jeopardize him and every last one of the other warriors.&nbsp; But...he found himself lifting her up instead.&nbsp; He heft her over his shoulder, much like a viking might, and began the walk back towards the mansion.&nbsp; He wasn't worried about any hidden weapon on her.&nbsp; Its impossible to hide a weapon when your nude. <br><br>He would take her back to the mansion and question her there.

				Paris was taken aback by her answer.&nbsp; He had never been used to having many women turn him down before.&nbsp; In fact, he couldn't think of a single woman in the past century and a half of his existence that said no to him.&nbsp; All he had to do was look at a woman and they fell at his feet, wanting to get into his bed.&nbsp; So then, what was it that was causing this woman to become so detached from him all of a sudden?&nbsp; Was this some sort of joke being played upon him by his friends?&nbsp; Or perhaps maybe, this woman was sent here by the Hunters to break into their fortress and attack them.&nbsp; It had happened before, and Torin, since he was never one to go out, just barely managed to kill them all before they had managed to kill him.<br><br>"What has changed?" Paris asked, eying her carefully, in very much the same manner that an animal would eye the prey that he was sizing up, trying to figure out the best way to approach and attack.&nbsp; Except, Paris would not be attacking, he would be getting this woman in bed with him.&nbsp; His curse ensured that he would do that.&nbsp; He had to do it for a good part of survival, and everyone of his friends knew it.&nbsp; Some people would say that Paris had the least lethal of the demons out of all the Warriors, but they didn't understand that it was because of this that Paris would never really able to be loved.&nbsp; It would be impossible, considering he couldn't be with the same woman twice.<br><br>"I can assure you that I will be much better suited for what it is that you want to do in the bedroom that Gideon will be, sweetling," Paris cooed, deciding to try and turn on the charm in full swing right now.&nbsp; He wasn't sure that he actually knew how to deal with the rejection that the girl was so tactfully doling out to him.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"They...want me dead," she whispered, her voice still holding the same amount of fear that it had done for centuries now.&nbsp; She had lots of things to fear, but more namely, her life.&nbsp; "Just like you do," she added softly, trying hard to control the emotion in her voice.&nbsp; She was always taught that it was not acceptable to show any kind of emotion, because there was no telling what was hiding about, waiting to just pick up on her fear, and attack her.&nbsp; She had turned into an emotionless void, except for the few times when she broke out of her wall and let herself feel things like pain, fear and loneliness.&nbsp; Happiness was a thing of the past for her.&nbsp; It had been more than ten years since she could remember truly being happy, and that was a thought that she didn't try to dwell on too often because it did sadden her.<br><br>Before she could react, and beg her captor to let her go so that she could die, she found herself being picked up, and thrown over this man's shoulder, very much like she was a slab of meat.&nbsp; Perhaps this was one of those primitive men that didn't see their women as much more than objects.&nbsp; She had heard about them from the words that others had spoken from her travels of wandering around, evading the demons.&nbsp; She was not very well versed in all the finer things in life.&nbsp; Wandering around, she had very little belongings and tend to live simply.&nbsp; She couldn't remember the last time that she had a proper meal.&nbsp; Usually, she would just have whatever berries she could gather throughout the woods.&nbsp; She didn't know how to hunt, and she barely had enough money to afford much more than a loaf of bread most days.<br><br>She was embarrassed to say the least.&nbsp; Here she was, stark naked, and now she had a strange man, holding her very carelessly.&nbsp; For all she knew her womanly parts were splayed out on display for the world to see.&nbsp; She was shamed to say the least.&nbsp; She didn't know about her sexuality, and how to handle it.&nbsp; As a nymph, she had sworn herself to the God that she served, and so, she had never been touched by a man, though there were quite a few that had tried.&nbsp; She didn't quite know why it was that she still upheld to such things.&nbsp; The Gods had done nothing to help her, and she was quite certain that it was because of them that she was in the position that she was in now.<br><br>"Please...do not hurt me," she whispered, the fear clearly evident in her voice as she took up to pleading with Maddox again.&nbsp; She was too weak to fight back, and so begging was her last resort.&nbsp; "I mean you know harm.&nbsp; I did not know anyone resided around this land..."

				Letting out a nervous laugh as Paris demands to know what was different from five minutes ago, when she'd been all over him; Angel runs a hand through her brown hair as she looks up towards the ceiling; as though somehow, if she was just able to remain quiet for a moment longer, then she would figure out a way to answer the man without hurting his feelings.&nbsp; Normally, she wouldn't be concerned over the emotions of someone she hardly knew; but the blond man was extremely muscular; and while, at the bar, he'd seemed perfectly safe to go home with, for all she knew, he had the emotional stability of a rabid boar.&nbsp; "It's just...I'm not attracted to you any more." She confesses; offering him a meager smile as way of apology.&nbsp; Well; that answer had certainly been subtle.&nbsp; Mentally bashing herself for the god awful reply to his question; Angel could only stand there awkwardly, trying to think of a way to make up for her rude behavior.<br><br>"Listen, Paris, while I am sure your...technique is absolutely phenomenal," she begins as she begins to edge away from the man, "I'm just not up for it." She figured now wasn't exactly the best time to ask him if he'd give the blue haired man her number for her.&nbsp; "Your a great guy. Your just not my great guy." she says, trying to make him adapt to the rejection.&nbsp; Just looking at the man that he wasn't used to being rejected like this, and she had to admit; she was being a pretty bad tease, for going all this way with him only to refuse at the last minute.&nbsp; "It has nothing to do with you," she wasn't able to add that it had nothing to do with Gideon, because it really really did, "Its me." she finishes the age old rejection line with an apologetic smile. <br><br>---------------------------<br><br>"Whose they?" He asks gruffly as he continues walking up the mountain, carrying her up the steep hillside as though she weighed nothing more than the smallest of feathers.&nbsp; Who was it that was trying to attack her? The demons? He'd taken care of them easily enough.&nbsp; But, considering the fact that she hadn't said, 'they wanted me dead' he figured that there were more than just that handful of beasts after her.&nbsp; But why? What was it about the lithe young woman that had people after her head?&nbsp; She didn't look dangerous, didn't look like she could harm a fly; truth be told.<br><br>Reaching the mansion, Maddox doesn't even bother placing her down as he continues walking through the hallways.&nbsp; He'd take her to his room.&nbsp; He needed to check if she'd actually been injured, and give her some clothes.&nbsp; She wouldn't be able to walk around naked all day, he wouldn't be able to stand it.&nbsp; His mind was in a constant state of turmoil as it was, what with her soft body pressed against his shoulder.&nbsp; Very casually, probably not even realizing it himself; Maddox's fingers gently swirl along her thigh as he keep a light grip on her.<br><br>He actually passed by Paris and the random woman he was trying to fuck, but his only word of greeting was a light grunt before heading up the stairs. <br><br>Reaching his bedroom, he plops the woman down on his bed before glowering down at her once more. "Tell me your name." he demands, his voice a husky growl.<br><br><br>-------<br><br>"Did you see that?" Angel asks; eyes wide, face trapped in a state of comical disbelief.&nbsp; Had a large bloody man just walked past them with a naked woman on his shoulder?

				"It's you?" Paris asked arching an eyebrow.&nbsp; "I find that hard to believe, sweet.&nbsp; Not after the way you've been oogling my friend there.&nbsp; I'm sure it has nothing to do with me, or you...But I'm just as sure that it has everything to do with him, doesn't it?"&nbsp; Paris's perfect lips turned upwards into a slow, mildly devious smile.&nbsp; "Didn't think you could lie to me and not figure it out, did you?"&nbsp; A small chuckle erupted from the man's lips this time.&nbsp; "I'll let you in on a secret, sweet.&nbsp; You're not the first woman that has stood me up to go chasing after one of my friends," he told her, having figured out that was exactly what she was planning on doing.&nbsp; "I just wish," he continued pointedly, that you people would listen to me when I say that most of them are not interested in having a woman..."<br><br>Paris was about to say something else, when he frowned, looking over Angel's shoulder as the doors in the main hallway burst open.&nbsp; In walked Maddox with a female thrown over his shoulder, barbarian style.&nbsp; A very naked female, he added silently to himself.&nbsp; Oh great, now he would be seen as a liar with the woman that he had just gotten done explaining that his friends did not fancy women for an unknown reason.&nbsp; Great timing, he said darkly to Maddox.&nbsp; "Never mind them," Paris said, looking at Angel.&nbsp; "She's just...his...lunch," Paris said slowly, after realizing just how true that statement could be.&nbsp; Perhaps she was Bait and Violence was just itching to get his hands on her.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Alexia was mortified, and more convinced than ever that these men were Barbarians that she had heard of so long ago.&nbsp; Barbarians meant that she would die soon enough, and that was something she didn't even want to think about.&nbsp; She also didn't want to think about how she would be used and tortured until she was dead.<br><br>She had wanted to answer him, when he had asked her about who they were, but she decided that she would wait a bit and make sure that they were somewhere safer before she got into the long story.&nbsp; She had to make sure that he was capable of being trusted, something that right now, she was not convinced of in the least.&nbsp; She kept quiet throughout the walk out of the woods and into a fortress high atop the mountain.&nbsp; The structure itself looked impenetrable, and she had a feeling that those that went in never came out.<br><br>She was relieved to see other people there, once she had spotted another large man and a female just like herself.&nbsp; She was about to call out for help, but she found herself being carried up the stairs swiftly.&nbsp; Gods, this man was way too fast for her.&nbsp; She would never escape now.&nbsp; She would never make it out of here alive, not with this...man watching her every move, as she was sure that he would be doing now that he had her here.<br><br>She let out a soft squeal of surprise as she found herself tossed in the air before landing on something soft and cushiony.&nbsp; A second later, she found that her personal space was once again crowded as this man hovered dangerously over her, demanding to know her name.&nbsp; She paused for a second, wondering if she should answer him straight-forwardly, or if she should lie, making up some other unknown alias.&nbsp; She decided to tell him the truth, knowing that he would probably find out that she was lying either way.<br><br>"My...my name is...Alexia," she whispered softly, her voice, even at that soft volume coming out as a melodic purr without her even intending it to be that way.&nbsp; "Who are you?" she asked him, trying to not get entranced by the deep purple of his eyes.&nbsp; "Are you going to kill me?&nbsp; Did they send you?" she asked, needing to know her fate.

				Well, he certainly seemed to be taking it well.&nbsp; He wasn't getting angry; if anything, he seemed a bit bemused by the entire situation.&nbsp; Unfortunately, everything he told her was true.&nbsp; She felt awful for being more interested in Gideon than Paris, but she found herself unable to help it.&nbsp; And there was no way she was going to force herself to have sex with him as way of apology.&nbsp; "I believe you," she says, eyes down turned.&nbsp; Even if Gideon was attracted to women, considering the piercings and the blue hair, he'd probably after a girl who was a lot more wild than Angel.&nbsp; While she wasn't exactly shy or anything, she figured he'd be interested in the kind of girl who got tattoos and road motorcycles; not a travel magazine journalist.&nbsp; Ah well, it was probably for the best anyway.<br><br>She barely had time to raise her eyebrow at the man in question, as his reply over the disturbance of the muscular man and the naked woman fall short.&nbsp; Lunch? The woman was the other mans lunch? What was that supposed to mean?&nbsp; Was it a sexual term she'd just never heard before?&nbsp; But rather than be able to question him more on the matter; she is interrupted by a white haired man's presence in the room.<br><br>Stepping into the room softly, Torin stares sadly at the pair who stood in the main room before speaking.&nbsp; "Maddox returned before he finished a proper surveillance...there is still a bit of a disturbance.&nbsp; Would you mind going around the mountains to check it out?" He asks Paris calmly; always calm, always miserable, that was Torin.<br>&nbsp;<br>---------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia.&nbsp; The name curled around his brain like the pungent smell of a ladies perfume, wrapping itself into every corner of his mind until it was all he thought and breathed.&nbsp; Alexia.&nbsp; Something about her voice had his member jerking forward against his jeans, it made him want; made him desire.&nbsp; With a furious snarl, he pounded his fists on either side of her, never touching her, just sending any sign of personal space to pieces as he glares into her eyes.&nbsp; This woman was able to get such fierce reactions from him, as none other ever had.&nbsp; How? Why? What was it about her that made her appear so perfect to him?&nbsp; This was nothing more than a nuisance.&nbsp; And should the woman show any sign of bait like behavior, he'd be done with her in an instant.<br><br>"I am not going to kill you unless you make me." He snarls at her, finally backing away from her to lean against the wall.&nbsp; He couldn't be this close to her.&nbsp; Her scent intoxicated him almost more than her voice did, and being so close to her naked skin sent tiny, unwanted shivers up his spine.&nbsp; Well, at least he could remedy one problem.&nbsp; Moving forward, he steps into what appears to be a closet for a moment before pulling out a pair of his pants and one of his tops.&nbsp; Handing them to her, his order is gruff and plain, "Clothe yourself."<br><br>Once she had finished doing so, he was able to focus a bit better; not having the distraction of her bountiful breasts in his line of sight. "Who is this, they, you speak of?"

				Paris looked at his friend as he entered the room.&nbsp; "Well, isn't this your lucky day?" he muttered at Angel under your breath.&nbsp; "You stick around a bit longer and you might get to meet Death and Pain..."&nbsp; Rolling his eyes, he added as an afterthought.&nbsp; "I wouldn't be surprised if Wrath decided to make an appearance with the way things have been going today..."&nbsp; He turned his attention back to Torin, the man covered from head to toe in clothes, despite the weather.&nbsp; "Yes, it does seem that Maddox is a bit busy at the moment," he said.&nbsp; "I wonder if he has somehow forgotten that I am promiscuity, and he isn't," he muttered darkly, under the impression that his friend was in his bedroom having the female that he had come home with.<br><br>"Fine...I'll go," Paris muttered, thinking that he needed sex, and soon, or else.&nbsp; His body was itching for a good fuck, something that he thought Angel would be capable of doing, but he had underestimated himself with this one this time apparently.&nbsp; Pausing before he could fully turn to walk out of the room, he glanced back at the woman that he had brought in, trying to decide what to do with her, since it seemed that he wouldn't be around to watch her.&nbsp; If she were to do something that would endanger them, Lucien would surely have his head.<br><br>"You are to stay here...Do not go wandering around," he said, his voice firm with her now.&nbsp; "Trust me...If you make one wrong turn within these walls, you might now live to regret it..."&nbsp; Without another look in Angel's direction, he turned and ran out of the fortress.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia was a bit taken aback, trying to figure out how she was to go about telling this stranger about her life.&nbsp; She wasn't sure that she could trust him, and it was because of that she felt that he had no right to know about her life.&nbsp; "Who are you?" she asked him, ignoring his question for now.&nbsp; She wanted to find out about this man first, before she would go about telling him about herself.&nbsp; She was a good judge of character if nothing else, and she would be able to tell if this man's motives were good, or whether or not he was out to kill her.<br><br>"How do I know that you are not one of them?&nbsp; How do I know that you were not sent to kill me by the Gods?"&nbsp; Her tone was the last thing from accusing.&nbsp; Instead, it held a bit of curiosity in it.&nbsp; "How do I know you are not a God yourself?" she asked him.&nbsp; Gently, she reached out, poking his shoulder experimentally, as if trying to figure out if he was real or not.<br><br>She had never been this close to a man before, and she couldn't help herself.&nbsp; She was standing in the presence of a very good looking man, and she couldn't help but want to touch him, and see what it was that he felt like.&nbsp; She knew that he would be angry at her touching him, and even moreso that she didn't answer his questions, but she couldn't help herself at the moment.

				She didn't understand what he was talking about.&nbsp; If she stayed she would meet death and pain? Was he threatening her with bodily harm and death? She had no idea what to think.&nbsp; There was one man who looked as though he believed it was snowing outside he was so carefully wrapped in clothes, and Paris had begun to call himself promiscuity.&nbsp; In truth, the title wasn't all that far off from what he seemed like.&nbsp; Very focused on sex, and very good at convincing young women to come home with him; yes, that was probably the definition of what promiscuity entailed.&nbsp; The way the conversation going, Angel couldn't help but feel as though she was completely out of the loop. Why did Paris need to go check out the mountains in the first place?&nbsp; Angel just couldn't fathom what was going on; but somehow she felt as though she'd gotten herself into a situation that was far more dangerous than the mere risk of a sexually transmitted disease from a one night stand. <br><br>Nodding to him slowly as he orders her to remain where she was, Angel knew that just wasn't going to happen.&nbsp; The blond man had threatened her with pain and death!&nbsp; He'd actually gone as far as to warn her that she might not live to regret moving about the mansion!&nbsp; The man who had appeared so harmlessly sexy at the bar was suddenly the last person on earth Angel wanted to spend time with, let alone wait for.&nbsp; So, the moment she was sure Paris had gone; Torin had left the room quickly, not wanting to risk being near a person in such a confined space,&nbsp; she left the main room.<br><br>Truth be told, she wasn't sure if she was trying to find the exit, or trying to find the blue haired man, but one thing was certain; she wasn't going to wait obediently for Paris to come back and possibly murder her.<br><br>---------------------------<br><br>"The Gods are trying to kill you?" Maddox questions, staring at her through narrowed eyes as he listens to her speak.&nbsp; He couldn't help himself when he accused him of being a god though, a booming laugh emerged from the dangerous looking mans mouth; tilting his head back, the room echoes with his loud laughter.&nbsp; "I am no God Alexia." he says, a small part of his brain admitting that he liked the sound of her name on his lips.&nbsp; "Far from it in fact." he says, a wickedly curled smile spreading through his mouth.&nbsp; "I am a demon.&nbsp; An immortal warrior cursed by the gods themselves." he murmurs; standing above her, not even bothering to hide the demon violence that flickered across his face every now and then. <br><br>"And I would never willingly preform a job of the gods, let alone one that requires a mere mercenary." he says; his speech stopping as she suddenly pokes him.&nbsp; His eyes flaring up instantly, he glowers down at the young woman; this woman, who was in his room, wearing his clothing, embraced by his scent, heated eyes stare down at her; and every last muscle in the mans body tenses. "I would not touch me if I were you little one, you might not like the consequences." he promises, his words coming out in more of a kind of purr than his regular grunts or rough tone.&nbsp; <br><br>No, now he was not promising her a quick death, he was promising her something far darker, and far more delightful than that.&nbsp; It was all he could do not to throw her back upon his bed and have his way with her, taking her again and again until his body was finally sated; and the woman's presence stopped driving him mad.&nbsp;

				"You...you...are one of them," Alexia whispered.&nbsp; She had heard such stories of the demon Warriors that this man claimed to be.&nbsp; She knew that these Warriors were ones that were to be revered and respected, yet feared at the same time.&nbsp; They were vicious, and ruthless, only wanting to kill and destroy as their curses had dictated them to do so long ago.&nbsp; She found it hard to believe that she was not going to be killed by this man.&nbsp; Every ounce of him was radiating power and strength, not to mention violence and death.<br><br>"Please...I am not a God," she whispered, knowing that these Warriors must hate the Gods for what it was that they have done to them.&nbsp; "I am just a mere Siren," she whispered further.&nbsp; "Please do not hurt me.&nbsp; I know that you are not on favorable terms with the Gods right now, but you should know that they are in just much the same position as you are in...They are trapped in their own troubles just like you have yours.&nbsp; The Titans...They are the ones that are hunting me.&nbsp; They want me captured and tortured.&nbsp; They want nothing left back of the Gods and their legions that once ruled the Earth."<br><br>"I have stayed hidden for almost two decades now," she said softly.&nbsp; "I was cast out of Olympus, after the Gods saw me unfit to continue my post as a Siren," she said, shame and sadness creeping into my voice.&nbsp; "Though," she said with a pause.&nbsp; "I cannot blame them for that decision...I am...tainted," she said softly.&nbsp; "No man will ever desire me, I am afraid, and what good am I as a Siren if no man will want my charms?"&nbsp; Her voice had now seemed a bit lonesome and forlorn, like if she thoroughly hated herself for what it was that she had become.&nbsp; She couldn't even bring herself to look at Maddox in the eye because of her shame.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"If I were you, I would go up there..." Gideon said, as he leaned against the door frame of the main hall.&nbsp; He had heard all the commotion coming from downstairs, and had run into Torin on the way down, who had informed him of what was going on.&nbsp; He had offered to go out there, but Torin had already informed him that Paris would be taking care of it.&nbsp; The first thing that came to his mind was wanting to know what would become of the girl that Paris brought home.&nbsp; She couldn't be left alone, because as they all knew, it was dangerous for her to find out their secrets, when they weren't sure if she could be trusted.&nbsp; <br><br>Torin had told him that she was downstairs if he had wanted to watch her, and so here he was, wanting to see the woman that had made quite an impression on him earlier.&nbsp; Studying her now, his earlier thoughts were confirmed.&nbsp; She was quite a beautiful woman.&nbsp; There were no doubts about that.&nbsp; But yet, something about her, it seemed sad almost.&nbsp; Paris made sure to bring home only a certain kind of woman, and the fact that he had brought her home, meant that she was unattached, which made no sense to Gideon, being that she was as beautiful as she was.&nbsp; But then again, as they knew with Paris, beauty wasn't everything with some people, although, Gideon hardly thought that she was as cursed as they, maybe not even cursed at all.<br><br>"Torin didn't tell me that you slept with Paris yet...Many women do the same thing as you," he said, hoping that he did not confuse the poor girl with his language.&nbsp; For the normal person, what Gideon was saying didn't really make much sense, and oftentimes his expression and his words did not match.&nbsp; "Personally, I don't think it's good for him or his overly small ego to be bruised once in a while," he murmured, a smile playing across his handsome features.

				Freezing as she hears a voice, Angel whirls around before relaxing as she sees that it was Gideon who spoke “Why not?”&nbsp; She questions with a frown.&nbsp; What was upstairs that she wouldn’t want to see?&nbsp; Like always; Angel was clueless over the fact that he was lying; only hearing truths emerge from his lips.&nbsp; She lightly heard the noise of people talking upstairs, so she could only assume that there was some kind of fight going on…or the dangerous looking man was having his way with the naked woman.&nbsp; Either way; he was probably right, she had no desire to go up the stairs.<br><br>Letting out a laugh, Angel shakes her head.&nbsp; “I kind of got the feeling that he wasn’t the kind of guy to get rejected very often.” She admits with a roll of her eyes. The way he'd acted when she'd tried to reject him had made that clear enough.&nbsp; Though he had admitted to her that other women had left his arms for those of the other men in the house. “I feel bad for being such a tease though. I think I gave the poor guy blue balls.” She confesses with a sheepish smile, running a hand through her hair as she glances away from the blue haired man.&nbsp; “If he really needed it, I’m more than happy to have damaged his ego for you.” She jokes lightly; eyes crinkling slightly with good humor.<br><br>Releasing she hadn’t actually introduced herself, and that the closest thing the man had gotten to an introduction was seeing her pressed against a wall with Paris all over her, Angel coughs with embarrassment.&nbsp; “ah..I’m Angel.&nbsp; It’s nice to meet you.” She says lightly, offering him her hand to shake.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------<br><br>“Yes.&nbsp; I am one of them.” Maddox all but snarls out; his face contorted with rage as he thinks about how ‘famous’ the immortal warriors were to those held in the bosom of Olympus.&nbsp; How terrified the young woman must be now that she knew who he was, what he was.&nbsp; He could only guess which demon she thought he held inside of him.&nbsp; For one twisted moment, Maddox considers releasing his inner beast, showing the woman just how terrified she and all the other beloved creatures of the Gods should be of him and his fellows.<br><br>Hearing her plea however, Maddox finds himself shying away from this idea.&nbsp; She was a siren.&nbsp; Well that explained a lot of things.&nbsp; It made more sense now as to why she enveloped his sense.&nbsp; It was suddenly understandable how she was able to consume his thoughts and urge him towards desire.&nbsp; “Tainted? How so?” He questions, his tone far less threatening than what he had been like previously.&nbsp; He saw nothing wrong with her abilities.&nbsp; Saw no reason why she would be unable to call any man, human or immortal alike to her side.&nbsp; <br><br>“There is nothing wrong with you.” He says with light confusion.&nbsp; He was not trying to comfort her in her statement, he was merely pointing out the flaw in her story.&nbsp; “You are not failing as a siren.”&nbsp; That statement alone would confess of his own struggles to keep his desire of her at bay; but she was a siren, flawed or not, so he doubted it held any true relevance.&nbsp; And it was not like the fact would effect his judgment, or keep him from killing her should she do anything reckless.&nbsp;

				"Angel," Gideon said, repeating her name on his tongue slowly, savoring each syllable as he went.&nbsp; "That is a name that doesn't suit you," he said out loud.&nbsp; In his mind, he was adding silently that she looked very much like an angel herself, had he ever seen one in all of his immortal years.&nbsp; Clearing his throat a bit, and shaking his head to get those thoughts away from his mind, he decided to change the conversation.&nbsp; "Angel...What makes a woman like you not interested in a man like Paris?" he asked, wondering what it was that the other woman had seen in his friend in the first place, which had caused her to follow him home, wanting nothing more than a good fuck he had assumed.<br><br>Stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jeans, he took a tentative step forward, his eyes trained on the woman standing a few feet away from him.&nbsp; He hoped that it wasn't too obvious that he was staring at the woman.&nbsp; He was trying hard not to, but it wasn't everyday that he came across a person with a beauty such as hers.&nbsp; She was one of those girls that possessed a beauty that was natural, and earthly to him.&nbsp; She didn't seem like one that fussed much over putting on twenty pounds of makeup on her face and Gideon liked that.&nbsp; She was his idea of the perfect woman.<br><br>The perfect woman...The words echoed in Gideon's head as soon as the thought left his mind.&nbsp; Never before had he contemplated the meaning of those words, not even as a passing thought.&nbsp; With her, it seemed that even his mind was doing things that he had no control over.&nbsp; Looking back up at the woman, he found that she had spoken to him and he hadn't even answered her question.&nbsp; That was...rude of him he reasoned.&nbsp; "My name is not Gideon," he told her, hoping that she understood what he meant.&nbsp; It hadn't yet dawned on him that she only heard the right things coming out of his mouth.<br><br>Looking at her hand curiously, he pondered for a moment.&nbsp; She had delicate hands.&nbsp; The most delicate ones that he had ever noticed, not that he had noticed such things before.&nbsp; Strange, he thought to himself.&nbsp; He was giving things a second glance that he hadn't given thought to before.&nbsp; Maybe the tales of what a woman did to man were true.&nbsp; Maybe a woman could change a man.&nbsp; But then again, maybe this was some sort of enchantment that she had put on him.&nbsp; Was it possible that she could be someone sent here to ruin them?<br><br>"What have you done to me?" he asked quietly, his eyes searching hers.&nbsp; He wasn't sure if she would say anything, or even admit to her crime, whatever that may be, but it was worth a shot to him.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"I cannot bear children," she whispered softly.&nbsp; In truth, that was only one of two things that she was cursed with.&nbsp; She wasn't gifted with the ability to produce offspring after she had angered the Goddess of childbirth herself.&nbsp; She had not meant to, but she had suspected that the Goddess had a bit of a jealous streak that had caused her to act out as she did towards the younger maiden.&nbsp; "That is what most males desire, is it not?" she asked him, uncertainty lacing her sweet voice as she spoke.<br><br>She looked up at Maddox, her eyes roaming the contours of his body that lay underneath the fabric of the clothing that he wore.&nbsp; As soon as she did so, her mind went back into insecure mode again.&nbsp; She was not sure how it was that this man could stand to look at her.&nbsp; The second part of her curse, was that the Goddess had put a spell on her, so that even though she had a Siren's call, and could lure a man to her, once she was viewed by a man up close, they would see her as nothing more than a hideous woman.&nbsp; Her face was scarred and slashed, her teeth rotten, and her skin old and wrinkled.&nbsp; Her hair had been known to appear gray and frail.&nbsp; It was not something that she was proud of.<br><br>"How...how can you stand to look at me?" she whispered, looking down, hanging her head in shame.&nbsp; "I know I am hideous," she whispered, her body seeming to curl into itself now.&nbsp; "How can you look upon me and not be disgusted?" she asked.&nbsp; "Please...I...I cannot stand a man of such vitality, someone that every must desire, looking upon someone as hideous as I am..."&nbsp; Despair deepened in her voice, and she turned away from him then, tears burning to come out of her eyes.

				"Thanks." She says before letting out a laugh, "I'm sorry for laughing, its just..whenever people say that to me, I'm usually in a bar." What would have otherwise sounded like a cheesy pick up line sounded natural coming from his mouth, like it was an honest statement rather than him trying to mindlessly complement her.&nbsp; "Well..I'm not interested in Paris.&nbsp; I mean, I was..." that was why she had come all the way to this mansion in the first place after all.&nbsp; "I guess I just realized that he wasn't the one that I wanted to spend the night with." she says with a light blush, finding herself glancing away at him; too embarrassed to look him in the eye at the moment.<br><br>"I know, Paris told me your name a little while ago." she admits.&nbsp; She found herself unable to look away from him for long however, as her gaze once more drifted across his features; as though she was trying to memorize the shape of his nose, the size of his lips, and the place of each and every one of his piercings. Take away the modern piercings and the blue in his hair; and the man would have been spot on for a Greek statue.&nbsp; There was something about him that just spoke of a boyish charm; underneath all the muscle and the risky look to him.&nbsp; <br><br>Swallowing her suddenly tight throat as he whispers his question; Angel finds goosebumps forming along her skin, every single one of her hairs rising on end.&nbsp; "I think the same thing you've done to me." she breathes out, blue eyes unable and unwilling to look away from his own.&nbsp; Who was this man?&nbsp; What made her so drawn to him?&nbsp; What was it about him, that made the very sight of him ruin her for other men?&nbsp; Made her pull away from a definite fuck, just for the opportunity to be in his presence, just for the possibility that she might talk to him for awhile. <br><br>-----------------------<br><br>Eyes softening as he hears her confess her truth, Maddox gives her a slow nod of acknowledgment.&nbsp; He had his own curse to bare, he knew a thoughtless apology for her loss would have insulted more than it would have helped.&nbsp; While his curse was of a different nature, he understood suffering, knew that the pain involved never died down, was always there, always in the back of your mind, waiting for an opportunity to release itself and destroy all that you care for.&nbsp; "That is not the only thing males desire." he responds, voice coming out gravelly as he takes a step closer to the lithe siren.<br><br>Blinking twice in confusion as she demands to know how he could even stand to stare at her; Maddox had to admit, he was caught off guard.&nbsp; For a brief moment in time, the mighty warrior hesitates as he contemplates his next move, unsure how to go about a tear filled woman that he no longer held suspicions over.&nbsp; At the very worst, she was a spy on the gods; her story a lie made to gain sympathy.&nbsp; But still, her reactions were all wrong.&nbsp; He could imagine her demanding him to stop looking at her in such a manner, could imagine that she might get offended at being looked at in such a sexual manner; but he couldn't have fathomed that the woman would turn herself away in the firm belief she was far too hideous to stare upon.&nbsp; <br><br>"I do not know why you consider yourself so disfigured." He begins moving closer to her once more in order to touch her, his large hand placed atop her slender shoulder.&nbsp; "But you are lying to yourself." he murmurs to her moving his free hand forward in order to pull her hair away from her face, pushing it behind her ear in a surprisingly gentle manner.&nbsp; "I have met a few sirens in my day, and your beauty manages to shame them all.&nbsp; Who has told you that you look so hidious?" he questions her; his voice soft; the normally violently cruel man having the odd desire to protect this girl from those who would harm her heart in such a way; wanting to soothe her fears until she realized just what she truly looked like.

				"And what exactly is that I have done to you?" he asked softly.&nbsp; He watched her carefully, with marked interest, his eyes never leaving her face, but wandering down every so often to sneak a quick glance at the fullness of her lips.&nbsp; What would it be like to kiss those lips?&nbsp; Had she ever been kissed before?&nbsp; Gideon suspected that she had, and it was something that he found made him angry?&nbsp; Jealous?&nbsp; He wasn't quite sure how to characterize what it was that he was feeling.<br><br>"The only thing that I have done is merely not look at you," he whispered, his eyes still trained on her.&nbsp; "I promise I have no charms at work here.&nbsp; Whatever it is that has happened, is completely your fault, my sweet," he said, his voice coming out as a husky purr at the end without him ever intending for it to be like that.&nbsp; He couldn't help himself though.&nbsp; It seemed that his mind and his mouth had taken up a will of their own and was now saying things that he had no control over.<br><br>He wanted to snarl at the mere thought of Paris touching this woman.&nbsp; He would make sure that his friend kept his hands to himself.&nbsp; He wasn't going to let anyone touch this female but him.&nbsp; He had never felt this possessive over a woman before, but he didn't know what to do to stop it.&nbsp; Turning her head to look at her, he murmured.&nbsp; "You will have to worry about Paris.&nbsp; He, nor any other man, will be touching you again..." Of course, that would mean that Paris nor any other man would ever touch her again, if he had his way.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"No one has told me," Alexia said softly, glancing a look up at the Warrior standing next to her before looking back down again quickly.&nbsp; "I know it for a fact.&nbsp; The Goddess Hera has cursed me many years ago, because she was jealous of the beauty that I possessed.&nbsp; The same beauty that had one of her own admirers falling in love with me.&nbsp; You do not have to pretend, my lord," she told Maddox.&nbsp; "I know that she had made it so that anyone that looks upon me from the close proximity in which you have, will not find me as anything more than an old, hideous woman..."<br><br>"I am clearly unworthy of being in your presence," she told him.&nbsp; "The fact that you had wanted me clothed before you is not a shock to me.&nbsp; I would want me clothed too, should I have been in the same place that you find yourself in now," she told Maddox.&nbsp; "I do not blame you, my lord," she told him.&nbsp; "In fact, I do thank you for sparing my feelings in this matter, although, I can assure you, that it is certainly not necessary," she whispered.&nbsp; "I have dealt with this shame for decades now.&nbsp; One more incident to add to a list of many will not break me," she said, even though her voice was slowly cracking.<br><br>"I...I must repay you," she said, as if the thought had just come to her.&nbsp; "I must repay you for the kindness that you have showed me here today, both for saving my life and sparing my feelings," she said.&nbsp; "I would...offer you my body," she said, "but I doubt that would be something that you would find desirable..."&nbsp; She swallowed hard, hanging her head further.&nbsp; "Even then, I...because of my curse," she said softly, the shame creeping back into her voice, "I...find myself, not being versed...in the ways of the bedroom," she whispered.&nbsp; "No man could stand to look upon me, more or less bed me, so I have remained untouched, something else that I am sure you must find displeasurable.&nbsp; A man such as you must have had many lovers by now.&nbsp; You would certainly find me lacking in every regard..."

				She was enamored with this man.&nbsp; "Not enough." She replies, her voice practically shaking.&nbsp; He'd done something impossible to her, but at the same time barely did anything at all.&nbsp; And god, did she want him to do more; The more time she spent in his presence, the longer she found herself talking with him, the smaller her world began to shrank.&nbsp; She found herself forgetting about her earlier fears over Paris's threats of death and pain. She found herself not caring that she barely talked to this man for longer than a few minutes.&nbsp; She wanted him with a kind of desperation she'd never actually known before. Wanted to pull him to her and never let go.<br><br>"You must be lying to me." she croons out softly, her eyes half lidded as she stares up at him.&nbsp; "There's just...no possible way I could feel so much for you this quickly." she says, even as she moves closer to him; her body mere inches away from him now, she was able to feel his body heat now, and it electrified her very core.<br><br>Reaching up, Angel's hand hovers mere centimeters away from his face as she listens to him speak.&nbsp; "Does that mean...that you'll be touching me?" she asks as her hand finally places itself against his jawline.&nbsp; Feeling his skin against hers for the first time, even though it was such an innocent act...Angels mind goes blank.&nbsp; She couldn't talk, couldn't think.&nbsp; Well, one thing was certain; Gideon wouldn't have to worry about any other men touching her; after this small but mindblowing act of having his face pressed against her hand, she didn't think anyone else could compare.<br><br>---------------------<br><br>Narrowing his eyes as he listens to the woman's tale, Maddox can barely contain his growl of fury.&nbsp; How like the gods, to curse someone merely because they were able to do something that the gods were unable to.&nbsp; Attract the wrong lover, and be forced to appear hideous for all eternity.&nbsp; It had just enough childish cruelty to blatantly be the work of a goddess.&nbsp; "I am not pretending." Maddox growls to her; his body practically shaking in rage at her insistence of her ugliness.&nbsp; <br><br>"You offer me your body." He says, his words coming out a statement rather than a question.&nbsp; The very thought heated his mind, turned his expression dark as thoughts of having the lovely woman pressed against his arms, taking each and every one of his thrusts into her most secret of places.&nbsp; Nostrils flare a bit like a bulls, as Maddox's cock rises to the occasion.&nbsp; He wanted her. No.&nbsp; He needed her.&nbsp; And gods, would he have her.&nbsp; He barely understood the final words she spoke; didn't stop to pay attention to her admittance of being a virgin.<br><br>Practically tearing his shirt off of her, Maddox reaches forward and pulls her into an embrace, his large muscular arms wrapping around her tiny body like a bears.&nbsp; "I accept." He murmurs into her ear, his breath hot against her skin even as he softly runs a hand down her hair, continuing it downward to trace against her spine teasingly.&nbsp; "I will have your thanks Siren." he mutters against her, kissing against her neck.&nbsp; "I will take my reward."

				"I do know," he told her quietly.&nbsp; "I don't even know if I can't trust you," he told her, his voice coming out to be slightly harder than he had intended it.&nbsp; "You could be a demon in disguise," he said.&nbsp; "I haven't heard rumors that there were demons around this area earlier on," he explained, wanting to make sure that he came off as non-accusing as possible, especially if she was not Bait.&nbsp; It would be a bit awkward to have her not be Bait and to have him rambling on about things that she shouldn't know about.<br><br>"I do know what I feel for you right now," he told her, wanting to make it clear that he was just as conflicted about his emotions towards her than she was about him.&nbsp; He had only known her less than an hour and the only plausible explanation that he could think of was that she had cursed him, used whatever powers that she had, to put a spell on him so that he would do nothing but give in to her every desire.&nbsp; <br><br>Give in to her every desire.&nbsp; By Gods, that was exactly what he wanted to do.&nbsp; He wanted to take her upstairs, lock her in his room, and do the same things that she was to be doing with Paris right now.&nbsp; He wanted her to himself, knowing now, that no one else would do for him.&nbsp; He could feel the warmth radiating off of her body, see her curves outlined so deliciously through her clothes.&nbsp; What he wouldn't give to reach out and touch them.&nbsp; He wanted to hold her in his arms, crush his mouth against hers...<br><br>Shaking his head, he forced himself to bring his mind to the present, focusing on what it was that he had to accomplish right now, and that would be figuring out if this woman could be trusted.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"Yes, Warrior," she whispered, her voice soft and husky now as she spoke.&nbsp; Her body was slowly starting to awaken, in terms of feeling desirable.&nbsp; She was not afraid of him, because she knew that she had a task that needed to be done.&nbsp; She knew that she had to let this Warrior do what he wanted to do with her, so that he would get his price for saving her life earlier.&nbsp; To her, it was a fair exchange.&nbsp; She would do her best to please him between the sheets, even though she knew that she was untrained in the ways of pleasure and pleasing a man.&nbsp; She didn't really know how to respond to his touches, but it seemed that his body had a mind of its own from how it was reacting to his simple touch. <br><br>Looking at him, she studied his features.&nbsp; She decided that he was more than handsome in her eyes.&nbsp; Surely he had to have had many lovers in his time.&nbsp; He did not look a day over 30, but that was the price that came with immortalilty.&nbsp; One never aged.&nbsp; Her neck arched in response to his lips on her skin, a soft sigh of contentment coming out of her mouth.&nbsp; Slowly, her hands reached out, resting against his shoulders tentatively, as if waiting for him to pull away before she starting stroking over his skin experimentally, wondering what she would find underneath the fabric of his clothes.<br><br>"You...will..teach me please," she said, her voice shaky as she spoke.&nbsp; "Teach me how to touch you.&nbsp; I know...you must have needs," she said softly, her face flushing bright red as she spoke to wonders, pondering over what they meant in the process.&nbsp; "I will...be happy to take care of those for you, as nothing more than your slavegirl, if that is what you wish, my lord," she said softly.&nbsp; She wasn't sure what it was that Maddox wanted with her in his bed.&nbsp; Part of her wanted to believe that this would just be a one night stand, but another part of her was telling herself that he would call upon the use of her body more than once in the future, and so she had resigned herself to being his slavegirl, a position that she thought was fitting for someone such as her.

				"A demon?" she repeats; finding herself suddenly awake from the dreamy state he'd had her up until that moment.&nbsp; Pulling her hand away from his face; she stares at him in obvious confusion.&nbsp; "Your telling me you think that I am a demon?" she asks with a furrowed brow, a frown marring her features for the first time since she'd laid eyes on the man.&nbsp; Her mind was already whirling with the things she'd been told about the people who were supposed to live with this mansion.<br><br>"I'm not a demon." she clarifies, not sure whether to laugh at the accusation or feel awkward about it.&nbsp; Wasn't he supposed to be the demon?&nbsp; Briefly, she'd wondered if she'd gone home with the wrong man by mistake.&nbsp; But then..the things that Paris said earlier, about pain and death, and now Gideons talk about demons being real.&nbsp; It was too much of a coincidence.&nbsp; She had it right, she knew she did.&nbsp; Her job was a simple one.&nbsp; She was supposed to get in close, and find out as much as she could about the security around the mansion, and the things that were going on in these peoples lives.&nbsp; She really hadn't been told why.&nbsp; Had only been explained that the men in the house were secretly monsters who only wanted to bring pain to the world, and she was helping those who would stop them.&nbsp; It was all very confusing...<br><br>Now it was just a matter of completing her job, and not making her sudden and unexpected feelings for the man get in the way.&nbsp; Staring into his eyes, she was beginning to find that doing that would be harder than expected.&nbsp; She couldn't help but have her mind drift to the shape of his lips, the crook of his neck...she wanted nothing more than to push him against the wall and have him right then and there.<br><br>----------------<br><br>"I'll make you enjoy this." he promises as his well callused fingers begin to slide down her shoulders; the heat of his body warming hers, that had been cooled by being naked in the outdoors for such an extended period of time.&nbsp; His eyes burned with desire for the young woman beneath him, and he rose first one leg, then the other knee, so that he lay on the bed with her; keeping his arms firm so that he remained above her without crushing her with his weight.&nbsp; A virgin siren.&nbsp; He'd never heard of such a thing before.&nbsp; Sirens were known for being alluring to men, taking them to bed in order to control and manipulate them.&nbsp; They learned techniques at an early age, and were experts at being a mans wet dream to the point where afterwards, nothing could compare.<br><br>And here she was, a siren who was at a point where she should have been able to make a man orgasm with a mere wink, was asking him to teach her how to pleasure him properly.&nbsp; Eyes heating with the unmistakable pleasure of a man about to get everything he ever wanted, Maddox closes her eyes as he feels her stroke at the skin on his shoulders.<br><br>"I don't want you for a slavegirl." he growls at her, his voice rumbling against her ear as his hands begin to stroke at her thighs.&nbsp; "I want you in my bed, I want you lost in pleasure. I want you to be lost without me inside of you" he murmurs to her even as one of his hands begins to whisper against her breast, tickling at her nipple until it hardened.&nbsp; "I don't want a slavegirl.&nbsp; I want a woman."

				Gideon had no idea what it was that Angel was planning nor the fact that she was working for anyone else.&nbsp; He couldn't read her thoughts, but the look her face had perplexed him slightly.&nbsp; He was curious as to what she was thinking.&nbsp; She didn't seem like the one that would keep secrets, but then again, she did seem a bit on the reserved side.&nbsp; Gideon couldn't quite figure out what it was about this woman that made her so elusive from being figured out.<br><br>"I thought you were," Gideon said after a few seconds of pause, before turning and looking at her.&nbsp; Slowly, a smile broke out on his face.&nbsp; He couldn't remember the last time that he had smiled this much in a single day.&nbsp; Of course, if his friends were lucky, they could manage to get out the far and in between smirk out of him, but true laughter was very uncharacteristic for him.&nbsp; He didn't feel like his existence was much of anything to smile about, something that he figured that he shared with the rest of his friends, living in their cursed existence.<br><br>"Please don't feel free to tell me more about yourself," he told her, walking over to the couch and settling down on it.&nbsp; Glancing up at her, he gestured to the space next to him.&nbsp; "I don't want to know anything," he told her.&nbsp; &nbsp;He was curious as to how she understood him, even when he was speaking in riddles like this.&nbsp; He was sure that she didn't really know about his curse, unless Paris had taken the liberty of telling her himself, but he had a hard time believing that as well.<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"A wife?" Alexia whispered softly.&nbsp; Was that what this man wanted from her?&nbsp; "A mate?" she repeated again.&nbsp; She went to say something else, but she let out a soft gasp of surprise, that turned to pleasure as she felt his fingers barely ghosting across her nipple.&nbsp; She could feel it hardening instantly, her body responding to his touch as it if had always known it.&nbsp; Tiny little goosebumps broke out over her lightly tanned skin as she closed her eyes, just letting herself feel what was going on around her.<br><br>She liked the way Maddox crowded her.&nbsp; She loved his presence, liked how it felt to surrounded by such strength and ferocity, all from one man.&nbsp; It made her feel safe, protected, and for once, all the guards that she had had fallen down.&nbsp; She didn't know for sure that he wouldn't hurt her, but for the way that he was making her feel right now, she would let him do what he wanted with her.&nbsp; She had never felt this way before, and she would be damned if she ruined this opportunity.&nbsp; She would take what she could now, being selfish for once in her life, and then deal with the repercussions later.<br><br>Looking up into his eyes, she saw something there.&nbsp; Something that she hadn't noticed before.&nbsp; Aside from having the most soul-shattering eyes she had ever seen, she sensed that there was another presence behind those purple irises.&nbsp; It was then that she let a sliver of worry enter her brain.&nbsp; "Tell me you're not one of them," she said softly.&nbsp; "Tell me you're not one on Hera's demons that have been sent to kill me," she whispered softly, her body betraying her worry as it responded to his touch perfectly.&nbsp; Raising her hand to his face, she cupped his cheek, guiding her to look at him.&nbsp; "Tell me, please," she said, her voice almost desperate now.

				"Well that's a relief." She says, relaxing considerably as he admits that he hadn't really thought she was a demon; at least, those were the words that Angel was able to hear coming from his mouth.&nbsp; "I've never been asked if I was a demon before." She admits with a meager smile, using that truth as a means of explanation for why she had appeared so uncomfortable.&nbsp; She had to admit, the organization who had sent really wasn't thinking properly when they had sent her.&nbsp; She wasn't physically able to say a lie, and had to choose her answers and words carefully so as not to confess her secrets and thoughts.<br><br>Watching him smile, she couldn't help herself but to smile herself.&nbsp; His smile was contagious, and she found her heavy heart lifting up considerably while in its presence.&nbsp; Following him down to the couch, taking her own seat; Angel wraps a finger around a lock of her hair, tugging on it absentmindedly as she thinks about what to tell him about herself; blushing lightly as she hears him insist on wanting to know everything about her.<br><br>"Well...I work as a photographer for a travel magazine, so I've been all over the world." she starts off; eyes brightening as she thinks about her line of work.&nbsp; She really did enjoy it, the only problem was that it didn't pay the bills very well, so she was forced to take on commissions for extra money every once in awhile.&nbsp; "This is my first time in Budapest though.&nbsp; I really like it here.....have you always lived here?" She questions casually, leaning back against the couch.<br><br>----------------------<br><br>Chuckling against the skin of her neck, Maddox softly turns his head to either side; effectively nuzzling into her neck even while he shakes his head no.&nbsp; "No little one, a wife is not what I seek." he murmurs before placing a soft kiss against her shoulder blade.&nbsp; He would never curse any woman with having to spend her lifetime with him.&nbsp; Violence would rip through him at every stage, demanding he hurt her.&nbsp; Being married to such a monster as he would be a torture to any woman, even a siren who considered herself foul.&nbsp; He would either kill the woman himself, or drive her mad with his intense mood swings.&nbsp; <br><br>No, he did not wish her to be his wife, or his mate.&nbsp; He merely insisted now that she be with no other male beyond him.&nbsp; The very thought of another man looking upon her, let alone touching her, had his demon cry out for blood, and as his thoughts drift away from the moment, his grip on her tightens, bruising the skin of her hips lightly, leaving tiny imprints of his fingertips trapped against her skin.&nbsp; He liked that.&nbsp; Liked seeing a mark of him on her body, wanted to place proof of his presence on her all over her body.<br><br>Freezing as Alexia begs him to confess to not being one of Hera's mindless demonic minions; he pulls back from her for a moment, staring down at her through his surprisingly thick eyelashes.&nbsp; "I am not of Hera's brood.&nbsp; I have not been sent to kill you." he says; his voice soft as his large hand caresses her face, feeling the fragility of her entirety.&nbsp; "But believe me little one, I am far, far worse." he promises before pulling her into a kiss. His mouth finding hers, revealing in her taste.

				"Not for most of my life," Gideon said, smiling at her.&nbsp; He found that it was becoming increasingly easier by the minute to feel more and more comfortable in the presence of this woman.&nbsp; It seemed that she too was quite comfortable with him.&nbsp; She seemed to answer his questions, and enjoyed his presence.&nbsp; At least, that was what her actions told him. He couldn't tell why, and he dared not hope that for the first time in centuries, the Gods were smiling upon him, bestowing upon him the smallest of kindnesses for all his years of duty towards them.<br><br>"I hope you don't enjoy it here," he said.&nbsp; "It's not that nice of a place.&nbsp; I've been better," he told her.&nbsp; He purposely ignored the fact that she said that she was merely here on business.&nbsp; Being here on business meant that she would be leaving, and that was a thought Gideon did not want to think about at the present time.&nbsp; Not when there was so much more possibilities to explore with this woman.&nbsp; He wanted to see where things could go.&nbsp; <br><br>Eyes widening&nbsp; a fraction, he once again found himself bewildered that such a thought had crossed his mind.&nbsp; He was moving much too fast he thought to himself.&nbsp; He didn't really know much about this woman, so how was he so sure that the two of them could be compatible?&nbsp; "Don't tell me more about yourself," he asked her, despite his urges to stop himself.&nbsp; He figured that there was no time like the presence to find out more about this beauty, since that seemed to be the obstacle in his way right now.<br><br>----------------<br><br>She moaned out softly against his mouth, briefly caught off-guard before she kissed him back hungrily.&nbsp; Her soft fingertips stroked his cheeks, and then moved lower, feeling out the muscular planes down the side of his neck.&nbsp; She pulled away from his mouth, looking at him.&nbsp; Slowly, she lowered herself back against the sheets on his bed.&nbsp; Reaching up, she placed a hand on the back of his head, tugging his mouth back to hers.<br><br>She wanted to ask him so many more questions about what it was that she was to him, but she couldn't think straight.&nbsp; Not with his mouth doing those wicked things to her body.&nbsp; She kissed him back firmly, much like he had done to her just a few short moments ago.&nbsp; Her lips played on his, enjoying their firm softness.&nbsp; Her hands stayed in his hair, tugging at the strands gently, before letting go and alternately letting her fingers sift through them.<br><br>She had thoughts that she probably wasn't the only woman that he had, but she didn't care about that right now.&nbsp; She would be alright with that, for she was getting a taste of something that she, in her wildest dreams, never would have thought she would have.&nbsp; It still saddened her that she would not be getting a complete commitment from him, but she didn't expect anything less for them just having met.&nbsp; However, that didn't mean that she was giving up hope of not being able to get her wish.&nbsp; If it's one thing that Alexia had learned, it was to not give up so easily.<br><br>Leaning up, she pressed a soft kiss to the spot just under Maddox's ear.&nbsp; Before leaning back down again, she whispered, her voice husky now.&nbsp; "Never say never..."

				"Your lucky, it seems like a nice place to grow up." Angel says lightly; still obviously not realizing that he'd been lying to her this entire time, that he couldn't help it.&nbsp; Angel depended on facial expressions to figure out when someone wasn't saying what she thought they were; but as Gideon used his facial expressions to show what he really meant; due to the fact he couldn't say what he truly felt, Angel was at a surprising disadvantage. <br><br>"I've been enjoying my trip here so far," she says thoughtfully, thinking back to what she'd seen of the city, "I've only been here a few days, but the locals have been really kind to me."&nbsp; Angel was always careful with her choice of words.&nbsp; And while she'd said she was a photographer for a travel magazine, she had never actually said that she was working on a job while she was here.&nbsp; <br><br>"More?" She asks with a laugh, her head tilting back slightly as she does so.&nbsp; "What do you want to know? ...umm...my favorite food is curry." she offers with a cheeky grin.&nbsp; "Do you live here alone with your brother?" she asks, assuming that Paris and him were related.&nbsp; Both had such finely chiseled features and masculine forms, it made sense. Although, secretly, she was also fishing to see if the amount of people in the house was that which the organization had informed her of, still trying to figure out if she had the right place.&nbsp; She didn't think so...Gideon seemed so kind, and she felt so comfortable around him.&nbsp; There was no way he could be a demon.<br><br>-----------------<br><br>Feeling her touch him, and touch him willingly, with such dainty fingers, Maddox briefly released just how fragile this girl was.&nbsp; Just how easy it would be to break her.&nbsp; A sudden swell of protective emotions welled up in Maddox's heart. the sudden feeling making him pause in his touches against her; merely stare down at her.&nbsp; If one didn't know better, it would almost appear as though Maddox was considering murdering the girl, this was far from the case.&nbsp; Rather, he was trying to decide how he was going to go about locking her in his bedroom and keeping her there forever.&nbsp; No one else could touch her, no one else would touch her.&nbsp; He'd bury her away and hide her from the world, keep her safe from anything that might harm a single hair on her head, anything that might cause her to shed a single tear.&nbsp; He'd shred the world to pieces before he'd allow such a thing to happen.<br><br>A feeling of elation wraps around him as she willingly presses her lips against his, making his response immediate as he roughly responds to her attentions; his own mouth likely bruising her own; his demand for being against her so intense.<br><br>Eyes narrowing at her whispered words, Maddox's responce comes in actions rather than words.&nbsp; Hand trailing down her stomach, it curls around her belly button before flying across her thighs.&nbsp; Purple eyes stare into hers as he smirks cruelly at her before teasingly tracing a finger across her labia; never once entering past her lips, merely playing against them in the softest of touches.

				"Actually," Gideon said thoughtfully, "I do not live here with more than six other of my brothers," he informed her.&nbsp; "You have not had the pleasure of meeting the manwhore of the group," he said dryly, as he described Paris.&nbsp; Personally, he thought that saying manwhore, he was being a bit too kind.&nbsp; Paris was a bit past the point of being a manwhore.&nbsp; He and the rest of the Lords had reasoned and decided on this a long time ago.<br><br>"Can you not cook?" Gideon asked her, looking at her carefully.&nbsp; He, himself, had never spent much time in the kitchen, but he was sure that he would be willing to learn for this woman.&nbsp; Perhaps, they could learn together.&nbsp; That would certainly be interesting and fun, he reasoned to himself.&nbsp; It wasn't like he could take cooking classes with one of his fellow Warriors, he thought to himself, almost laughing out loud at that thought.&nbsp; &nbsp;He was having an extremely hard time picturing Violence in a kitchen. Pain, he might find some pleasure out of being around all those sharp objects.<br><br>Gideon was pleased that she had been treated kindly.&nbsp; He would've hated to have to hunt down the poor unfortunate soul that was unkind to her.&nbsp; The thought that she was ever unhappy was something that was starting to tug at his heart, and he wanted to fix things so that she would never be unhappy again.<br><br>"Where are you not from originally?" he asked her, wanting to know where she would be going back to once her assignment here was done.&nbsp; He wouldn't admit it, but a fractionally small part of him found himself wishing that he would be the one that would cause her to stay.&nbsp; That she would want to stay because of him.&nbsp; He knew that it was utterly silly to entertain such ideas, but he couldn't help himself.&nbsp; It seemed that this woman had injected a wonderful sense of hope into his life once more, and that itself was something that he would treasure completely.<br><br>--------------------------------<br><br>"What are you doing to me?" she whispered, her voice thick with want and desire for the man that was near her.&nbsp; She opened her legs further to give him more room, shivering as she felt his fingers starting to caress her most intimate of places.&nbsp; She inhaled a slow breath, her eyes sliding down slowly, so that her eyelashes batting against her tanned skin, before her eyes fluttered open again in pleasure.&nbsp; <br><br>Her hands went back up to his shoulders, her nails gently scraping along the skin there.&nbsp; She was quivering underneath his kisses, needing, wanting more of him.&nbsp; She pressed against him more, wanting to feel him pressed up against her more firmly.&nbsp; Her tongue flickered out tentatively against his lips, pressing softly, before letting it retreat back into her mouth just as quickly as it had come out.&nbsp; She was trying all sorts of new things with him, and she prayed that he enjoyed what it was that he was doing.<br><br>She liked the feel of the hardness of his body contrasting with the softness of hers as they lay pressed together.&nbsp; Her fingers slowly massaged down his spine carefully.&nbsp; She paid attention to him, wanting to make sure that she took in all of the movements and sounds that he made.&nbsp; She wanted to know what he liked and what gave him the most pleasure so that she would know what to do more of and what to ease up on.&nbsp; She smiled to herself as she thought that this was probably the most fun thing that she had ever been taught.&nbsp; It didn't hurt either that she had a real living specimen, that was probably the most gorgeous thing she had ever laid eyes on.

				"Six brothers? that's a lot.&nbsp; I'm an only child." she admits with a smile; closing her eyes briefly.&nbsp; It had been a sad childhood.&nbsp; Children lied all the time, and Angel had found herself forced out of any group she tried to make friends with.&nbsp; There had been no playmates in her youth, no one to make the unending loneliness disappear. How she had wished for someone to understand.&nbsp; Adults had turned away from her, feeling awkward around a child they couldn't appease with false promises.&nbsp; How she had longed for a sibling.&nbsp; "Manwhore..." she says, a wry smile spreading across her face.&nbsp; "That's a fitting description." she acknowledges with a small laugh. <br><br>"Cook?" she repeats, caught off guard by the sudden question.&nbsp; "I can actually." she admits shyly, pushing a few loose strands of hair behind her ear.&nbsp; "I think I'm pretty good...but I've never cooked for anyone else before, so I've never had a second opinion." she admits; looking at him bashfully; finding herself wanting to cook for him, wanting to see if he would like what she could make. "Can you cook?" she asks lightly, trying to imagine the man in an apron. <br><br>"I'm from the U.S.&nbsp; I live in San Fransisco." she confides lightly, casually giving him more and more details about her life; finding it so easy to talk to him about things she was normally so hesitant to tell. "Its nice there, but its just kind of..." she shrugs, not finishing her sentence.<br><br>-----------------<br><br>"something you will enjoy." He promises to her heatedly before lowering his head.&nbsp; Moving away from his neck, he begins to kiss down to her breasts, tasting her skin against his tongue and loving it.&nbsp; Very slowly, he begins to suck at her breasts, tickling her nipple in her tongue as he rises a hand to gently caress the opposite breast with his free hand. He wanted her to writhe in ecstasy.&nbsp; Wanted her to scream his name again and again until it was all she could remember. He wanted her useless for all other men, now that he had touched her; he wanted to make it so any other male would seem pathetic in comparison. Not that any other male would have the chance to prove themselves that was.<br><br>His other hand continues its gentle teasing of her pussy lips. Very slowly, he began to push two fingers inside of her, testing her wetness as his purple eyes stare up into hers, refusing to allow her to look anywhere except for him.&nbsp; He would not allow her to think of anything except for him.&nbsp; It was him that was making her feel this way, no one else.&nbsp; And it would be him that would encompass all of her thoughts.&nbsp; He would make her as obsessed with him as she'd made him obsessed with her.<br><br>He was going to make this woman feel as she never felt before, and it was all Maddox could do to control himself and keep him moving slow.&nbsp; She was a virgin.&nbsp; She needed this slow.&nbsp; He wanted this to be an experience she would never forget; a memory that would make her shiver with pleasure years from now.&nbsp; <br><br>

				Gideon looked at her, watching her every movement carefully.&nbsp; He loved the way she moved, the things she said, how she said them.&nbsp; "Manwhore is one of the more mean terms that my brothers and I have come up with over the years," he told her, which of course wasn't true.&nbsp; The boys had come up with many different names for Promiscuity, and manwhore was the kindest one that he could think of.<br><br>"Do you not plan on going back?" he asked her, wanting to know the plans that she had for herself for the future.&nbsp; He didn't want her to leave, but he couldn't very well come out and say that bluntly.&nbsp; She would think that he was crazy and that he was moving too fast for her, which he would understand.&nbsp; He would feel the same way about the situation, had he been in her place if such a thing had occurred.&nbsp; <br><br>"What is not there for you?" he asked, wanting to know about the ties that she had in the states.&nbsp; He wanted to know, as bad as it would sound, so that he would know what he was up against, when it came to convincing her to stay with him.&nbsp; "Do you not have a male?" he asked, biting down hard on his lip as soon as the question left his mouth.&nbsp; He couldn't stop himself, and it was something that he had to know, although he realized how rude it was to ask that.<br><br>--------------------------<br><br>Alexia let out a soft moan in response to Maddox's teasing.&nbsp; She arched up against his body, pressing against him in every way that she could manage.&nbsp; Every nerve in her body felt like it was standing up on end and she liked that feeling.&nbsp; She shivered visibly, closing her eyes.&nbsp; Her breathing was starting to get deeper and more ragged with each passing minute of having Maddox's mouth on her.<br><br>Her body tensed a bit when he entered her with his fingers, and she let out a soft whimper at the intrusion.&nbsp; She had not felt like this before, and her body was still extremely tight, and she didn't know how to relax so that this would feel good.&nbsp; She met his eyes, and shivered again.&nbsp; There was something feral about them.&nbsp; Something that made her know that he wanted her, and only her.&nbsp; It was a thought that she found encompassing, yet sweet at the same time.<br><br>Looking into those eyes, she found that she could not look away.&nbsp; From the way he was looking at her, she could tell exactly what it was that he was thinking.&nbsp; She would not be able to even be able to think about having any other man in this manner.&nbsp; Not after he had treated her like this.&nbsp; She just had to make him see that.&nbsp; "No one else," she whispered.&nbsp; "Not anymore...Just you..."&nbsp; To emphasize her point, she wrapped her legs around his waist, drawing him into her, his hips resting against hers, right where she wanted him to be.

				"You mean that's the nicest term you've come up for him?" Angel replies with a laugh; shaking her head.&nbsp; She supposed it made sense, that's how brothers usually acted with each other, right?&nbsp; Teasing each other with cruel sounding taunts that really held emotional sentiment behind them.&nbsp; Of course, there was also the possibility that she was completely wrong, and that demons behaved cruelly to one another simply because they had no kindness in themselves in any way shape or form.&nbsp; But...but Gideon was being kind with her. Even as rough looking as he appeared...she somehow couldn't imagine that this man held a demon inside of him.<br><br>"I...I don't know." she admits with a smile as she stares forward.&nbsp; "I really like Budapest, but I've never really stayed anywhere for a long period of time." she admits with a shrug.&nbsp; "I guess...if I find a reason to stay, I will." she says, staring at him shyly for a moment before embarrassment pulls her eyes away.&nbsp; She'd been told to say something like that; but she found the words coming out of her mouth surprisingly honest in their intent.&nbsp; She didn't just need him to want her to stay with him, she wanted him to want her to stay with him.<br><br>"I...nothing." she admits with soft eyes, biting down on her lower lip.&nbsp; What was waiting for her in California? A job, an empty apartment, a few emails...nothing solid, nothing real...nothing she could hold onto.&nbsp; "No," she admits with a small smile.&nbsp; "I don't have a man in my life...do...do you have a woman?"<br><br>-----------------<br><br>Feeling her push herself against him was intoxicating.&nbsp; He found himself wanting this woman more than he'd ever wanted anyone else before.&nbsp; He'd always been a fierce man, and any sexual relations he had with women he'd always had her on her stomach; making sure that he didn't have to look at their face.&nbsp; With this woman, he had to look her in the eyes, had to watch the expressions she displayed each second as he offered her more and more pleasure. He had to watch her, had to see, had to remember so he'd never forget. He wanted to memorize each line in her face, felt that he had too.&nbsp; Just in case she one day disappeared from his life.<br><br>His eyes began to glow a light demonic red as he felt her move against him, pushing her core against his manhood.&nbsp; She was making it extremely difficult for him to slow down.&nbsp; All he wanted to do was ram into her, take her as his own again and again until her very body melded against his and refused to leave him.&nbsp; He wanted to make it so she wouldn't be able to get out of his bed for a month, and wouldn't have the desire to do so regardless.&nbsp; He knew she was a virgin, he knew he should take it slow that she would truly be able to enjoy this moment; knew that she was far more fragile in this moment than other more experianced woman would be...but as he feels how wet she was against him, Maddox couldn't find it in him to care anymore.<br><br>Hearing her words, Maddox finally releases a mighty roar as he forces&nbsp; himself inside of her; for a moment merely basking in the pleasure of feeling her body and his combined as one.&nbsp; But that wasn't enough for him to enjoy for long.&nbsp; No, he needed more, had to have more.&nbsp; Gripping her shoulders tightly; Maddox begins body begins to have a light sheen to it, sweat beading down his forehead as he fights for control.&nbsp; This was her first time, he needed to go slow.&nbsp; Pushing himself back out, he slowly begins to push back in; shuddering against her.

				Alexia let out another moan, this time, not even trying to keep the sound stifled from her mouth.&nbsp; She was just doing what felt natural to her, and that was giving and receiving pleasure to and from this man. Her body felt like it had never felt before.&nbsp; No man had ever made her feel so alive and wanted.&nbsp; She purred softly, moving against him.&nbsp; Leaning in, she let her mouth nip across his collarbone, kissing the same trail after.<br><br>His skin was warm and so smooth underneath her hands, all except her stomach, where six almost violently looking scars lay.&nbsp; She made a mental note to ask him about those scars later on.&nbsp; Her own eyes, a beautiful green glowed, matching his red, the two colors seeming to illuminate the semi darkened room that she assumed was his bedroom.&nbsp; Her hands roamed lower, sliding to his stomach, over the scars that she had just noticed, tracing them gently with her finger, in a touch so light, it was barely there.<br><br>She could feel him restraining himself and she frowned a bit.&nbsp; She could handle it.&nbsp; She was sure she could.&nbsp; After all the torture that she had endured from the Gods, she could handle this man using her body for his pleasure, which she was sure would bring her pleasure as well.&nbsp; She looked up at him, her eyes sure and determined.&nbsp; "Go on, my love," she whispered softly.&nbsp; "You do not need to be gentle with me," she told him softly.&nbsp; "I will not break..."<br><br>--------------------------------<br><br>"Yes," Gideon said, looking at her when she had asked him if he had a woman.&nbsp; He had not been with a woman in centuries.&nbsp; "Most women do find me to be a suitable...mate," he said quietly as he studied the woman in front of him with the deepest regard.&nbsp; I do think that I could ever make a woman happy.&nbsp; It's just something that I could see myself doing..." he explained to her.&nbsp; "Most women would stay around, even after they find out what it is that I do for a living, if you would call it that," he told her.<br><br>"What is it that wouldn't give you a good reason to stay?" he asked her softly, his eyes becoming sharper, the blue brighter as he looked at her, interested more than ever in her answer right now.&nbsp; He didn't know what it was that he expected her to say.&nbsp; A part of him wanted her to say that she wanted him, and that would be her reason for saying.&nbsp; A good part of his being craved to hear her say that.<br><br>He took a step forward as he looked at her, his eyes locking onto hers.&nbsp; Closing the little bit of space that they had between them, he looked down at her from his height.&nbsp; He was slowly contemplating his next moves.&nbsp; He wanted to reach out and kiss her, but he wasn't sure if she would be offended by such a reaction.&nbsp; Instead, he decided for something safer, so he reached out, tentatively.&nbsp; He let his hand cup her cheek gently, his thumb sliding over her cheek bone.

				"I don't see why you wouldn't." she says shyly; gazing down at her hands as she fidgets them with her lap.&nbsp; "Your very..easy to talk to." she says, finally gaining the will to look back at him, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes.&nbsp; "Why don't you think you'd make someone happy?" she demands, a frown marring her features.&nbsp; She didn't see anything wrong with the man, he was quite handsome, and appeared to be very kind.&nbsp; Was this another sign that he really was a demon?&nbsp; If anything, he just seemed a little insecure to her.&nbsp; Shaking her head, she corrects his humble sentiment.&nbsp; "You seem perfectly wonderful to me...but what is it you do for a living?" she asks curiously, turning her body so that she was facing him from her place next to him on the couch.<br><br>"Well...I know what it could be." she responds with a wry smile, as she stares at him intently.&nbsp; That was an obvious enough statement; she was hoping that it would be him that would cause her to stay in Budapest.&nbsp; "I mean...there's someone I just recently met who seems to have potential." she continues on with a teasing grin.<br><br>Finding herself at a loss of breath as he suddenly moves forward, standing above her with the most intense look in his eyes that she could ever recall seeing, Angel licks her lips, preparing for him to kiss her.&nbsp; At least, she thought he was going to kiss her.&nbsp; Unfortunately, she was mistaken.&nbsp; Instead, he does something else.&nbsp; Eyes widening as he places her hand along her cheek, Angel's eyes flutter closed.&nbsp; Placing her own hand on top of his which lay on her face; she basks in the feeling of his skin against her own as she nuzzles her face into his hand.&nbsp; She loved the feel of him.<br><br><br>----------------------------------------<br><br>Her moans egged him on, told him that he was doing good; and that he wasn't accidentally hurting her.&nbsp; It was a serious concern, and in the midst of his pleasures, he found himself battling his demon; forcing himself to remain at a slow pace, so that he wouldn't accidentally harm the fragile creature beneath him.&nbsp; She felt so good, it would be a crime to ruin her, and with his large manhood, it appeared as though Maddox was doing just that, stretching the young sirens hidden place with each of his thrusts.&nbsp; She was so tight, so tiny, he was worried that if he thrusted too hard he might actually cause her real damage. Shivering in pleasure as she feels him touch at his scars, he pulls her hands away from the sensitive areas; holding her wrists in a firm grip above her head.<br><br>Hearing her pleas for him to increase the power of his blows, Maddox clenches his teeth together.&nbsp; By telling him that she would not break, she was in essence asking him to take whatever he wanted from her; to enter her however he so chose.&nbsp; For a moment, Maddox stills.&nbsp; Staring down at the slender woman, he stops in his thrusts, leaving himself inside of her.&nbsp; "Do you have any idea what you are asking of me?" he demands, his voice rough and low; revealing his true nature; the image of violence spreading across his features until it dominated his face.<br><br>He could not tolerate any more waiting.&nbsp; With a rough roar, he grabs her neck and pulls her up; brusing her lips against his as he forces himself deeper inside of her.&nbsp; Harder and harder Maddox continued on, pushing himself in and out of her like never before, releasing all of the tension that had been formed inside of him in a tight knot.&nbsp; In this moment he was not concerned about her pleasure, was not being a giving lover.&nbsp; He was taking what he wanted, and what he wanted was her.

				"Do not tell me who he is," Gideon says, his voice dropping, and taking on a slightly deadly tone.&nbsp; "Tell me who he is, so that I may not kill him, and eliminate any competition that I may not have," he told her, his voice suddenly rough as he thought about anyone else touching this precious creature next to him.&nbsp; His fingers were still stroking her cheek gently, wanting to keep touching her.&nbsp; Her skin felt so soft and so smooth underneath his fingers that he couldn't get enough of it's texture.<br><br>He licked his lips as he watched her do the same thing, delighting in the sight of her light pink tongue roving over her plump lips.&nbsp; His fingers stroked back down her cheek, and moved a bit to the right, brushing over her lips gently, before tracing their outline.&nbsp; He was taking his time exploring her face, and so, his fingers continued on, stroking softly over her jaw next, before moving down towards the slender column of her neck.<br><br>"Has any other man not touched you in this manner?" he asked her, his voice holding a bit of curiosity to it now.&nbsp; He took in a short breath, feeling himself become even more intoxicated by the scent of the perfume that she was wearing.&nbsp; He glanced at her lips again, wanting to taste them, just like he wanted to taste every inch of skin covering her body.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia felt a bit of pain run through her body as Maddox finally broke through her virginal barrier, but she did not make any sound to let out to him that she had experienced any pain.&nbsp; She knew that she had asked for this, and so she should not complain.&nbsp; She was happy though, when the pain started to subside a few moments later, just as quickly as it had come.&nbsp; She could feel her inner walls stretching deliciously to accommodate his length and thickness inside of her.&nbsp; She had never felt so full before, and it was truly a wonderful feeling to be one with someone else in this manner, she decided.<br><br>She could feel him pulsating inside her, causing her body to become even more heated.&nbsp; Her muscles clenched around his shaft, squeezing him softly.&nbsp; It caused another gasp of pleasure to erupt from between her lips as his shaft stroked her at just the perfect spot inside her inner walls.&nbsp; She arched for him, biting her bottom lip.&nbsp; Her eyes, half closed, stayed locked on his and her fingers, twined their way through his, as he held her hands above her head.&nbsp; She squeezed his hand back, wanting to show him that she was alright and she was there in that moment with him, and no one else.<br><br>When she looked back up at him, she could see the other presence that she had seen in his eyes, now manifest itself in front of her.&nbsp; She looked up at him, not afraid in the least.&nbsp; In fact, it turned her on a bit to know that she was wanted by both man and beast as well.&nbsp; A slow smile graced her lips, which she directed at Violence.&nbsp; "Do I belong to you as well?" she asked, her voice husky, with a hint of teasing in it.

				Eyes snapping open, widening considerably as she suddenly hears the dangerous tone emerge from his previously kind, and even humourous voice, Angel merely stares at him for a moment or two before she realizes what the problem was.&nbsp; Bursting out into a fit of laughter, she shakes her head from side to side, struggling to contain her giggles until finally she manages to speak. "Gideon...oh Gideon, I was talking about you!" She exclaims with a broad smile.&nbsp; Was he truly that insecure that he hadn't understood her sentiment?&nbsp; It was so adorable she almost couldn't stand it.&nbsp; Reaching up, she tugs on a strand of his blue hair teasingly.&nbsp; "Silly man." she murmurs lightly.<br><br>Her good humor is quickly canceled out however, she she catches sight of the intensity in his eyes as he continues touching her, her entire body shivering with delight as he brushes over her lips.&nbsp; God, how she wanted another part of his body to touch those lips.&nbsp; "Not like this." she breathes out, "Never like this." no one had been able to drive her insane with such simple and small touches.&nbsp; <br><br>She couldn't stand it any more.&nbsp; His tiny motions against her skin seduced in her in ways she had never thought possible.&nbsp; She had to taste him, wanted to feel him against her.&nbsp; Shuttering her eyes closed once more, Angel rises her heels slightly, giving her the perfect height to press her lips softly against his.<br><br>-------------<br><br>He was her first.&nbsp; That was the only thought that was able to spread through his mind, as the rest of it was all lost in pleasure.&nbsp; He was her first, her last, her only.&nbsp; There would be no other that gained this experience from this woman beneath him.&nbsp; There would be none that would experience the ecstasy that emerged from between her legs.&nbsp; No one would know the perfection of body, no one would make her writhe in such tempting ways.&nbsp; It would be him, or it would be no one. He'd lock her in his bedroom forever if he thought it would help, if he thought she would ever betray him. She wouldn't though, he wouldn't give her the chance.<br><br>Releasing a low gluttonous groan as he continues pushing himself inside of her, Maddox continues pressing his hands into her shoulders, needing to make sure he didn't get to involved, to make sure he didn't break one of her bones by accident.&nbsp; God knew his mind was whirling with thoughts of destruction as it was, commands to bite her, to bruise her, to slice her up just a little bit fighting to the front of her mind.&nbsp; He wasn't going to have that though, would never allow it.<br><br>Hearing her speak directly to his demon was mind blowing, and his response was immediate.&nbsp; Pushing into her harder than ever, Maddox lets out a bestial shout before pressing his mouth against hers, biting against her lower lip, drawing blood that filled both of their mouths with a specific metallic taste.

				A slow smile of satisfaction spread across the line of his lips as he looked at the woman that stood in front of him.&nbsp; He was sure that nothing that he would ever be told would delight him as much as knowing that no other man had touched her like this.&nbsp; He wanted to be the first person to touch her in such a manner, and perhaps maybe in other ways as well, if things played out the right way.&nbsp; He wanted to make her hiss, purr, moan and shiver in ecstasy.&nbsp; He wanted to hear her name from her lips, begging, urging him onto doing deliciously sinful things to her body.<br><br>He watched her as she rose to her tiptoes, his hands going to her hips to steady her from that position.&nbsp; Looking down at her, he lowered her head to meet her lips, the contact sending tiny bolts of electricity through his body as they kissed.&nbsp; He kept his lips fairly light against hers, but kissed her back gently.&nbsp; He wanted to make sure that whatever was happening between them was something that she wanted, and so, if she wanted more, she would have to be the one to initiate it.<br><br>His fingers stroked her hip slowly, through the fabric of her clothes, as his mind wondered about how her skin would feel underneath her fingertips.&nbsp; Would it be soft and smooth like he imagined?&nbsp; He couldn't picture it being anything less than that from a woman such as her.&nbsp; Even the taste of her mouth was sweet, the perfect blend of honeyed deliciousness.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia hissed softly as Maddox bit her bottom lip, but the hiss soon turned into a soft purr as the pain was replaced by pleasure.&nbsp; She let her mouth part slowly, so that he would be able to take his fill of the blood that was slowly pouring out of the bite mark that he had just made.&nbsp; She sighed in pleasure, her nails raking across his shoulders as she fought to hang on, as their movements had become more deep and rapid since Violence had decided to take over.<br><br>Settling on his shoulders, her nails dug into his skin, causing little droplets of blood to rise to the surface.&nbsp; She had figured out that this man liked it a bit rough, or at least that what was he wanted in this particular instance.&nbsp; Whatever the other presence was that took over his body, she was not afraid of it.&nbsp; It had done nothing to hurt her, she had reasoned.&nbsp; It was merely another part of her new...mate.&nbsp; The word crossed her mind and it was not easy for her to try and figure out what it was that she wanted to label him as.<br><br>She pulled away from his mouth, looking up at him.&nbsp; The blood was still flowing from her cut.&nbsp; Lifting her finger, she dipped it in her blood, and held it out to him.&nbsp; Her eyes were hazy, drugged up on pleasure as she looked up at him.&nbsp; "I'll take that as a yes," she whispered, watching him, waiting to see what he would do with her finger.&nbsp; Slowly, she moved her hips underneath his, undulating them slowly.&nbsp; She rotated them, thrusting back against him.&nbsp; Shivering as the movement rubbed against his shaft, she closed her eyes, trying to make sense of the feelings going on inside her body.<br><br>"My body," she whispered, another moan coming out of her mouth.&nbsp; "Yes..." she whispered.&nbsp; "I need," she said, never able to finish her sentence as her muscles clenched.&nbsp; "What is happening to me?" she whispered, her eyes searching his own.

				Feeling his soft, even cautious kiss; fireworks go off in Angels head.&nbsp; He was perfect.&nbsp; His lips meshed against hers in the most wonderful of ways, the soft movement of his hand playing across her hip had her releasing the softest of sighs.&nbsp; Everything about him amazed and entranced her.&nbsp; Made her want to hold onto this man and never let him go.&nbsp; Gideon...he was perfect.&nbsp; Hands rising up, she runs her fingers through his hair, basking in the pure beauty of the man who was willing to be with her in such a way.&nbsp; There was no way he was really a demon.&nbsp; He was too soft, too willing to wait for her to start everything.&nbsp; It was endearing, but it had to be a sign that the organization had the wrong group of people.<br><br>This wasn't enough.&nbsp; She wanted more of him, more from him.&nbsp; It wasn't enough, him merely pressing his lips against hers.&nbsp; Playing at his lips with her tongue, she begins to seek entrance into his mouth, desperately wanting to taste him, wanting to feel more of him, wanting to embrace him in the most sensual of ways.&nbsp; Just kissing him wasn't what she want.&nbsp; She wanted dark pleasures between the sheets, wanting to feel more of him pressed against her until they became one.<br><br>Rubbing his shoulder with one of her hands,&nbsp; Angel releases a soft moan as she presses herself tighter against Gideons form.&nbsp; This wasn't enough, she had to have more.&nbsp; She need more.&nbsp; Something about him simply drove her to insanity; making her crave him like the most addictive of drugs.<br><br>-------------------------<br><br>Feeling her fingers draw blood; Maddox's eyes snap open; practically glaring at the woman beneath her with a mix of unadulterated fury and unstable desire.&nbsp; He wanted to consume her, wanted to overwhelm her until she was driven mad with pleasure.&nbsp; His hips continued pounding against her, causing the bed underneath them to actual bang against its opposing wall. If Maddox continued as he was, it wouldn't be long before the bed itself collapsed in on itself.&nbsp; For now though, the beast above her didn't really seem to care.&nbsp; All he cared about was the pleasure he was getting from this, and making sure it would continue to grow. <br><br>Slowly, eyeing her as the dark demon inside of him watches as she offers him her bloody finger, he very slowly lowers his head, bringing it to her finger and swallowing it around his lips.&nbsp; Gently sucking at her finger, his tongue swirls around the body part even as his teeth graze at her in the most sensual of ways.&nbsp; She was offering him her blood, and he was accepting; taking it, demanding it from her.&nbsp; She tasted delicious.&nbsp; Even after the blood was all gone from the finger, he refused to release the digit from his mouth, continuing to suck on the slender finger even as his thrusts deepen more and more; the sensual sucking a sharp contrast from the wild and feral fucking that was going on beneath them.<br><br>"Your cumming." He growls in responce to her question; an almost cruel looking smirk emerging as he rams into her harder than ever, wanting to watch her as she reaches her peek.&nbsp; Her first peek.&nbsp; He would be the one to not only break this sirens virginity, but her orgasm cherry as well.

				He groaned out softly as she deepened the kiss that he had started.&nbsp; Her body pressed up against his further diluted his mind into a sad point of oblivion.&nbsp; He could no longer think rationally.&nbsp; The only thing running through his mind right now was that he needed this woman.&nbsp; He needed her in the worst ways.&nbsp; He could think of at least four different ways that he could have her right now, and he could guarantee that she would enjoy each and every one of those ways.&nbsp; The things that he wanted to do to her, he thought to himself.&nbsp; He was sure that even he would put Paris to shame.<br><br>"Do you not know what it is you are asking, beauty?" he asked, his voice so deep it sounded almost raspy as his words came out.&nbsp; His mouth hovered above hers just a fraction of an inch, his hot minty breath caressed her cheek as he looked down at her from under half-lidded eyes.&nbsp; He had all but read her mind with the look she had given him.&nbsp; He knew what she wanted.&nbsp; He had seen too many women falter over his friends to not know when a woman desired to be in a man's bed.<br><br>Leaning down, he kissed her once more, but this time, his mouth was more rough.&nbsp; His lips were demanding underneath hers.&nbsp; He had centuries of pent up aggression inside of him, and he was intent on letting it out.&nbsp; Tonight.&nbsp; With her.&nbsp; Pressing her back against the soft cushions of the couch, he let half of his weight settle on her body, muscles pressing against soft flesh.&nbsp; "You must not be entirely certain that this is what you want," he told her, his eyes almost a navy blue now, darkened with his desire for her.<br><br>----------------------------<br><br>Alexia whimpered in pleasure, her grip on her lover tightening.&nbsp; Her hands slid down from his shoulders, down his back, to grip his buttocks, squeezing them in her hands.&nbsp; She reveled in their muscular feel, not really have expecting them to be anything short of muscular like the rest of his body was.&nbsp; She ground her hips against his, trying to intensify the feelings that were going through her body.&nbsp; She wanted to be like this forever, but yet, she was being pushed slowly over the edge.<br><br>She couldn't believe that this was happening to her.&nbsp; After almost a few centuries of being alive, she was finally experiencing the utmost act that could bring pleasure to someone.&nbsp; Closing her eyes, she arched up against him, her body gripping his shaft inside her tightly, before releasing it.&nbsp; "Maddox!" she cried out, her voice breathy and dripping with need, pleasure, devotion, want, and something else that she couldn't quite pinpoint.&nbsp; "Oh...please..." she begged, though she wasn't sure what it was she was begging for.&nbsp; Her body was spasming hard against his, her mind a blur as everything became deeply sensitized around her.&nbsp; She could feel a light wetness seeping out from between the juncture of her thighs and she knew that Maddox would probably be able to feel it as well.<br><br>Her legs tightened around his waist, drawing him even deeper inside her, as if she wanted him to stay within her forever.&nbsp; Her hands slid back up to his hair, tugging at the dark strands, as she moaned out his name again.&nbsp; Alexia's body was spasming against Maddox's, fierce trembles wracking the petite woman's form.&nbsp; Never before had she felt something like this, and she doubted that anything she would ever feel in the future would come close to holding a candle to what she was feeling right now.&nbsp; Her body shivered of it's own accord, as if it recognized what her thoughts meant and realized that it would now belong to this man and no one else.<br><br>

				Gripping his shoulders tightly as he deepens their kiss, Angel releases her own moan of pleasure as he presses her against the couch; glad she had the cushion to rest on, otherwise her knees surely would have given out from under her and she would have collapsed.&nbsp; That would have been embarrassing; although it likely would have had them on the floor quicker.&nbsp; And by god she wanted them on the couch, on the ground, it didn't matter; just so long as their pleasure increased and Angel received everything this man had to offer.<br><br>"I know exactly what I'm asking from you." she breathes out, finding her lips slightly swollen from Gideons desperate kisses.&nbsp; She liked it. Liked the fact that there was a kind of mark that said that Gideon had touched her, had enjoyed her as much as she was enjoying him.&nbsp; Swallowing her tight throat, Angel fights to remember how to speak, the insane amount of pleasure he had given her making her temporarily forget.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I want you." she breathes out just in time for him to push his mouth against hers once more.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>"I've never been more certain in my entire life." her breathy voice confesses the truth even as her hands shakily work to get rid of his shirt.&nbsp; These clothes were getting in the way, and her own felt confining to her.&nbsp; She wanted to feel him pressed against her, wanted to experience the ultimate pleasure with him.&nbsp; But the damning clothes were difficult to get off of him with his lips pressed against hers, so reluctantly, she pushes at his shoulder, trying to get him to stop kissing her long enough to take off his clothes.<br><br>--------------------<br><br>In truth, it wasn't surprising that Maddox was as firm and muscular as he was.&nbsp; Whenever his demon began to act up, he'd try to exhaust himself so he wouldn't be able to attack anyone.&nbsp; This, along with the fact that he was unable to travel far beyond the mansion, meant that he spent nearly all his time in the training room.&nbsp; He would lift weights, go on the treadmill, whatever it took to distract him from the desperate needs of violence.&nbsp; Though in truth, nothing was a true distraction.&nbsp; Still, it made his body close to near perfection; leaving him a lethal foe for any enemy he may come across.&nbsp; If his weapons could not destroy those he was up against, the might of his body most assuredly could.&nbsp; <br><br>Feeling her orgasm around his member, Maddox releases a rough snarl but refuses to join her in her ecstasy.&nbsp; No, he was not finished with her yet.&nbsp; Pushing her on her stomach; he pulls her legs apart; spreading them wide in order to allow him to thrust in particularly deep.&nbsp; Holding her thighs in order to give himself leverage, he releases a small grunt over each push into her.<br><br>Everything in him wanted to cum, but he wasn't ready yet; didn't want to finish yet.&nbsp; He wanted her to feel his fucking for the next four months, and in order to do that, he had to make himself last.&nbsp; More than that, it had been quite awhile since he'd had such a supple female in his grasp; he wanted to hold out in the off chance that it would be a while before he had another opportunity to release his true self quite so much.&nbsp; Even if he was able to have sex again, he doubted he'd be able to do it with such a casual regard for the woman's well being; and he certainly wouldn't be able to release violence to such a level.&nbsp; While it was true that even now violence was on a tight leash, the thing had never been allowed this much interaction with a woman before now.&nbsp;

				Gideon kissed her hungrily, his tongue sliding easily into her waiting mouth.&nbsp; Finding her own tongue, he let his wrap around hers, stroking sensually before retreating just as quickly as he had entered her mouth.&nbsp; He captured her bottom lip between his lips, sucking on it firmly not really registering the fact that he could easily bruise her mouth with such force if he wasn't careful.&nbsp; He murmured against her mouth, before capturing her bottom lip again, this time pausing for a few seconds to nibble on the soft piece of flesh before letting it go.<br><br>He pressed firmly against her, the taut muscles of his body tense underneath his clothes as he fought hard to not fuck her right then and there.&nbsp; Using his leg, he spread her legs for him, his knee coming to rest right up against her core.&nbsp; He could feel her clawing at his clothes, and he knew that she wanted them off of him as desperately as he wanted her clothes off of her.&nbsp; He caught her eyes, and gripped the ends of his shirt, slipping it up and off of his body, before tossing it carelessly to the floor.&nbsp; Without wasting time, his mouth sought hers out again, hungry and needy this time.&nbsp; <br><br>He looked up briefly, and realized exactly where they were, and how out in the open they were.&nbsp; At any moment, someone could walk in and catch them doing what they were doing.&nbsp; He didn't much care about getting caught, but what he did care about was some of the other males in the house seeing his precious Angel unclothed.<br><br>"We can do this here," he said, his voice rough and needy.&nbsp; Without warning, he stood up, and looked down at her.&nbsp; Slipping his arms under her bottom, he lifted her up easily into his arms, guiding her legs to wrap around his finely chiseled waist.&nbsp; He started walking with her, through the living room, heading straight for the stairs.&nbsp; His mouth found hers again, needing another taste of the sweet honey of her lips.&nbsp; He let out a soft growl against her mouth as he inadvertently bounced her against his hips as he walked with her.&nbsp; His erection was hard and straining against the denim of his pants.<br><br>--------------------------<br><br>"Oh, dear Gods," Alexia moaned out, feeling her body thrusting back and forth with the power of Maddox's movements.&nbsp; Her body was slowly starting to build itself up again, even after she had just finished experiencing her first orgasm a few short minutes ago.&nbsp; She could feel every single thrust of Maddox's body into hers, and she couldn't help but let out soft sounds of appreciation each and every time that he drove into her body.<br><br>She leaned her body up, catching her mouth with his.&nbsp; She kissed him hungrily, her lips still soft upon his rough ones.&nbsp; She liked the contrast that being with him provided.&nbsp; She was everything that he was not, and partially, that delighted her that they could be complete opposites but still fit together so well.&nbsp; She gripped his shoulders, holding on as he drove into her harder than before.&nbsp; She couldn't get enough of him, but yet she wanted him to get his pleasure as well.<br><br>"Please," she whispered, looking up at him.&nbsp; "I need to feel you," she whispered.&nbsp; "This isn't just about me," she said, not knowing what to say to encourage him to find the release that she had just found not too long ago.

				The things he was able to do with her lower lip had her soaking her panties.&nbsp; He was amazing, incredible even. She couldn't remember anything beyond Gideon.&nbsp; Words were to hard to come across, memories were unimportant.&nbsp; Her plans to get in close with one of the demons in order to uncover their secrets fell apart at the seems. All she knew was pleasure, all she cared about was continuing the feelings he was rocking through her body.&nbsp; Sneaky incentives fell apart at the seems, the wariness she was told to keep up about her was long forgotten.&nbsp; There was just her, and there was just him.&nbsp; And they were together.<br><br>Sighing with relief as his shirt finally comes off, Angel's fingers run along his stomach, feeling along the firm muscles that could be found there.&nbsp; He was pure perfection; there wasn't a single part of him that wasn't attractive.&nbsp; He was all male, and for the moment, and what she hoped was longer than that, he was hers.&nbsp; And that was all that mattered.<br><br>Letting out a light squeak as he suddenly lifts her up and informs her they needed to have each other somewhere else.&nbsp; Distantly, in the fogs of her mind, Angel understood that they should have some privacy, that with having so many brothers living with him, someone could walk in at any moment.&nbsp; Yet all of that seems far less important than the glee she felt when she got to wrap her legs around his waist in order for him to hold her up properly. Letting out a soft moan as she feels his member press against her core with each step he takes,&nbsp; Angel kisses against his neck, sucking on his skin lightly.<br><br>-----------------------<br><br>Grunting with each one of his thrusts, Maddox clenches his teeth together as he tries to hold off his ecstasy.&nbsp; With each and every one of his blows against her core, it became a harder and harder thing to accomplish. Responding to her kiss with an unending amount of passion, this woman was able to make him feel like nothing ever had before.<br><br>Finally, he was unable to hold on any more. With a furious shout, he releases his seed inside of her, his body tense as his orgasm reaches its mighty finish.&nbsp; Rolling himself onto his side next to her, Maddox is quick to pull her against his chest, wrapping his large arms around her form.&nbsp; "Thank you." he murmurs in her ear lazily; his heavy breaths causing small gusts of air to breathe against her skin as he stares past her; to the wall.&nbsp; It had been a long time since he'd been able to enjoy himself that much, he really was grateful.&nbsp; Grateful that he had found this tiny thing in his arms, and grateful that he hadn't killed her like he had originally planned.&nbsp; <br><br>"You did well." he complements with a smug look on his face as he turns over onto his back, pulling her with him so that she lay across his chest.&nbsp; Gazing down at her with a surprisingly soft look in his eyes, Maddox begins to run his hands through her hair, feeling the silkiness of it and enjoying the feel of it in his hands.&nbsp; <br>

				Gideon let out a moan as Angel's mouth finds his neck.&nbsp; By this point, he was halfway up the staircase.&nbsp; Torn between what to do, he paused, pressing her back against the cool cement wall.&nbsp; His mouth found hers again, hungrily this time as his massive form pinned her tiny one to the wall, his arms still locked firmly beneath her body.&nbsp; He pressed his hips against hers, rotating them back and forth, before pulling them away teasingly.<br><br>"Don't touch me," he whispered.&nbsp; He craved to feel her hands on his body, touching him everywhere.&nbsp; How much of a blissful state would he encounter once her soft hands were on him.&nbsp; Steadying her against the wall with just his body, he let his hands go up to her hair, raking through the strands, before tugging them back lightly, making her neck arch for him.&nbsp; Leaning down, he nuzzled her skin, breathing in her delicious scent.<br><br>Letting his tongue snake out, he licked a wet trail from the spot just below her ear, down to the base of her neck slowly.&nbsp; His teeth came out to nip lightly at her delicate skin here and there, hoping that he was doing things to her that she liked, since he had never really been with a woman before.&nbsp; He wanted to make sure that she was being satisfied.<br><br>-------------------------------------------<br><br>"I...I am...glad I have pleased you," she whispered softly, her cheeks flushed, just as the rest of her body was heated as she looked up at him.&nbsp; She lay on top of him, looking up at his eyes, which were starting to calm now, the red fading.&nbsp; "I hope the experience wasn't too horrible for you," she whispered softly, knowing that she was somewhat doing things blindly with him just now.&nbsp; Still, she could have guessed that he might have enjoyed it just a little, from the mere fact that he was able to finish himself.<br><br>She purred softly as she felt his hands running through her hair.&nbsp; It was something that she liked.&nbsp; She loved the feel of a man playing with her hair.&nbsp; In most instances, it calmed her, and right now that was exactly what she needed as she gave her body a few minutes to calm down and recover from the love-making that had just gone on.&nbsp; She was sure that she would remember this experience forever, every single detail of it.&nbsp; "I should be thanking you," she whispered, looking at him.&nbsp; "You have been the only man that has not been afraid to touch me," she said softly.&nbsp; "I find it almost too hard to believe that what we just did actually happened," she admitted to him, a sheepish smile on her face.<br><br>She reached out carefully, always weary of hurting him.&nbsp; She let her delicate fingers trace over the tattoo that was on his shoulder.&nbsp; "This is the marking that they gave you, isn't it?" she asked softly, a sadness coming over her voice as she thought about some of the things that the Gods must have done as torture towards this man, for things that were not his fault.

				Moaning into his mouth as he pulls her into another kiss, Angel barely notices as he pushes her against the wall.&nbsp; She didn't care where they did it at this point, just so long as she could have him, just so long as she'd be able to feel him against her.&nbsp; She loved his touches, craved them in a way that didn't make any sense to her.&nbsp; Loved the way he rotated her hips against her jean covered core; nearly cried out in agony as he teasingly pulled away from her.<br><br>"Yes..." she pants out as he demands that she touch him; something she does immediately.&nbsp; Fingers trailing down his stomach, the blue eyed woman begins to play with the mans zipper as she works to undo his pants and tear the tight jeans off of him.&nbsp; She wanted to touch him all over, wanted to memorize each inch of him until she never forgot him.&nbsp; Something about this man had her losing track of the world around her.&nbsp; Tomorrow wasn't important, and neither was yesterday.&nbsp; So long as he continued touching her like he was, she would be content.&nbsp; <br><br>Releasing a shaky moan from her lips as he begins to bite and lick along her neck, it is all she can do to keep herself from pushing him to the floor then and there and having her way with him.&nbsp; This man was driving her insane, she wouldn't be be able to last much longer if he kept this up.&nbsp; "Please!" she begs him softly clinging to him tightly.&nbsp; "I need you." she cries out, her neck still arched do to his tight hold on her hair, finding herself actually liking the rough motion.&nbsp; <br><br>---------------------<br><br>"No little one." He murmurs into her ear, "this experience was far from horrible for me." a completely male chuckle emerging from his lips as he begins to massage her scalp.&nbsp; Breathing in her scent; Maddox's eyes slowly close; the feeling of her presence calming him like nothing ever had in the past hundred years.&nbsp; Was it just the body of a woman that relaxed him so? Or was there something special about this particular siren?<br><br>"I'm glad no other man has touched you before now." he murmurs with a smirk as she verbalizes her gratitude for his being with her.&nbsp; Normally, such a thing would cause his ego to grow, but then, he could tell the base of her sentiment emerged from her own insecurities.&nbsp; Something that would have to be remedied in the near future.&nbsp; He did not approve of her believing that she was so unworthy of anyone's affections.&nbsp; If anything, her willingness to lay with such a beast was proof of how amazing she truly was.&nbsp; Here was a woman who knew exactly what he was, and was able to look right through his eyes into the demon hidden beneath, and be willing to converse with it.&nbsp; He didn't know another woman who was so admirable, so willing, so accepting.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I hope you enjoyed my attentions as well?" he asks, a perfectly masculine smirk crossing his face.&nbsp; <br><br>"Yes." He says; tensing as he feels her trace over the butterfly that was spread against his shoulder.&nbsp; Instantly he found himself pulling away from her.&nbsp; This was a woman who knew his story, who knew what was wrong with him; knew what was trapped within him; knew what could come out at a moments notice.&nbsp;

				He smirked up at her, the simple gesture deliciously sinful coming from him.&nbsp; Dropping his mouth to the top of her shirt, he bit his way through the material, ripping the garment down the front in one fluid, perfectly orchestrated movement. Pushing the torn fabric from her body, he paused, looking at her.&nbsp; His gaze was hungry and appreciative as he roamed her body with his eyes, taking in every piece of skin that was revealed to him now.<br><br>"Is there something that you don't want?" he purred, his deep voice resonating in the quietness around them.&nbsp; Gathering her half naked body in his arms again, he continues slowly up the stairs, his eyes locked on hers.&nbsp; His movements were steady, but not slow.&nbsp; He couldn't wait to get to his room, and lay her down between the black satin sheets of his bed.&nbsp; His muscles were tense as he held her, tense from the anticipation of what he knew was to come.<br><br>When she admitted that it was him that she wanted, it was if the angels were singing to Gideon.&nbsp; He couldn't believe his good fortune.&nbsp; Those were the exact words that he wanted to hear from her.&nbsp; He just needed to let her know that she need not beg him.&nbsp; Never again would she have to beg him for anything, for he would willingly comply with whatever it was that she wished.&nbsp; "You do not need to beg, sweet..." he told her, pressing her against the wall right next to door to get into his room.&nbsp; <br><br>Lifting one hand from her body, he opened the door, kicking it open with his foot, before carrying her inside, and kicking the door shut again, and locking it.&nbsp; Flicking on the lights, he strode over to his high, four poster bed, and sat her on the edge.<br><br>----------<br><br>Feeling Maddox tense against her touch, Alexia let a small frown grace her angelic features.&nbsp; Had she done something wrong?&nbsp; Was she not allowed to touch him there?&nbsp; She could recall touching him there during their love-making, and he hadn't seemed to have noticed, which made her wonder what it was about now that had him acting like that.&nbsp; She paused for a moment, simply studying him as she tried to figure out what it was that she could do to make him not pull himself away from her.<br><br>"What is the matter, love?" she asked, her voice soft and airy, as she spoke to the man next to her.&nbsp; Gathering the covers around her naked body, she drew herself up on her knees and moved so that she was quite close to him this time.&nbsp; Tracing the scar slowly again, she leaned down, brushing her lips across the tattoo, once, twice, three times.&nbsp; "Do you think that this frightens me?" she asked softly, sensing that could be the problem here.<br><br>"I know what you are, but I also know that your curse, isn't all that you are..." she told him, ignoring the fact that he had moved away, and continued touching him slowly.&nbsp; She was certain that his demon was not out to get her, nor did it want to cause harm to her.&nbsp; If it had wanted to do so, it had plenty of opportunities before when she was quite vulnerable before him.

				His gaze managed to make her shiver with pleasure almost as well as his touches did.&nbsp; She could almost feel the weight of his eyes on her, caressing her form like the gentlest of lovers hands.&nbsp; Crying out as he suddenly rips apart her top, for a moment Angel can only look at him; her eyes wide, her bosom rising up and down heavily as she tries to contain her panting breaths.&nbsp; Finally, she can bare it no longer.&nbsp; Not even bothering to answer him as he asks her some kind of question, she pulls his mouth against hers once more. <br><br>He was carrying her somewhere again.&nbsp; She didn't care where, just so long as she could continue kissing him, and so long as she could continue touching him, she would be happy.&nbsp; With each step, her breasts push ever so slightly against his chest; causing her to release a soft moan of pleasure; her nipples hardening into tiny little peaks with each step up the stairs.&nbsp; <br><br>"Then give me what I want." she demands from him with an almost teasingly smile as he tells her not to beg from him.&nbsp; At this point, she would do whatever it took to have him in her bed, or her in his.&nbsp; It didn't matter, just so long as they got to dance beneath the sheets with one another.&nbsp; <br><br>Then, finally, finally they had reached his room. Or at least, what she thought was his room.&nbsp; Finding herself sitting atop silken sheets, Angel reaches up for him; unhappy that he had not immediatly lay atop her, had merely placed her on the edge of his bed.&nbsp; "Give me what I want." she repeats her earlier sentiment before wrapping her arms around him once more and pulling him into her embrace, her lips passionately finding his.&nbsp; <br><br>------------------<br><br>Furrowing his brow as she goes against his wishes and moves closer to him once more, even goes so far as to begin tracing her fingers against his skin in the most tempting of ways; Maddox's eyes begin to glow the faintest of reds as every single one of his muscles tense, trying to fight the demon inside of him, desperate for escape now that it had an excuse for striking out against this woman.&nbsp; She had presumed to much, and violence was after her demise.&nbsp; He had wanted to drown in a woman, and he had.&nbsp; Now violence wished to drown in her blood.<br><br>"You must cease in your actions." he commands as he grabs her tiny hands into his own, his thumb caressing the back of her palm tenderly, an unconscious motion on his part.&nbsp; "I do not fret over your fear little one.&nbsp; It is more that I fear what I will do to you should you continue." the large man explains darkly; his face not showing an inch of compassion. "You would not enjoy it."<br><br>"You should not be so accepting of me." he warns, still holding her hands in a tight hold, finding himself not willing to let go of her.&nbsp; He was both desperate for her touch, while refusing to allow her to continue.&nbsp; He was able to compromise his desires by keeping a tight grip on her.&nbsp; "My curse is not a controllable one.&nbsp; This very moment I am fighting my instincts." he says with a low growl, his grip on her tightening even as his face becomes more vicious.&nbsp; He had to touch her, her presence calmed him; but the fact that it calmed him so well infuriated his demon.<br><br>

				The room that he called his own was quite modernly decorated, and the temperature in there a bit more cooler than the rest of the house, as was Gideon's preference.&nbsp; "And what is it that you do not want?" he asked her, before leaning down and pressing his mouth to hers.&nbsp; The kiss was not soft and gentle like his kisses were when they were downstairs, rather now, they were hard and needy, wanting to drink in the sweet taste of her mouth.&nbsp; His tongue slid easily past her lips, not even waiting for her to grant him entrance.<br><br>His hard body pressed against hers, his knee wedging its way between her legs again, rubbing up against her core.&nbsp; He could feel how wet she was for him and he delighted, no, relished in that knowledge, that it was him, who, for once had made a woman aroused.&nbsp; Not thinking anymore, only wanting to feel, he wrapped his tongue around hers, stroking back and forth, before pulling away harshly from her mouth.&nbsp; His lips worked their way down the column of her throat, this time not pausing as they kissed further down to her collarbone.<br><br>Nipping there, he wrapped his arms around her back, and pressed her up further against his mouth so he could reach more of her skin.&nbsp; His fingers teased the back of her bra, while his mouth distracted her with kissing and nipping at her collarbone, heading towards her cleavage.&nbsp; Her skin was soft, and almost a perfect shade in complexion, he had decided, and as much as he didn't want to leave any marks on her, he knew that he was going to take his fill of her, and that he wouldn't be entirely gentle at all times during that process.<br><br>------------------<br><br>"I can handle you," she protested, trying to gently pry her fingers from Maddox's hold.&nbsp; "Did I not just prove that I can handle you and the spirit that you possess?" she asked, gesturing to the sheets on the bed&nbsp; and what had just gone down between the two of them just a short while ago.&nbsp; "What more is there that I need to do?" she asked him, her voice never wavering in her calmness as she spoke to the man sitting next to her.&nbsp; Tentatively, she reached out again, stroking at the tattoo, wanting to know about it, and why it was that Maddox didn't want her touching the inked insect that was drawn unto his skin.<br><br>Alexia had a stubborn streak, but this time, she didn't quite get it in her head that she probably didn't really know all of what she was dealing with here.&nbsp; Of course, she had heard rumors and the talk that came from other's mouths, but all of that had merely been speculation.&nbsp; Speculation that she counted as true.&nbsp; She was sure that she could handle whatever it is that this man threw at her.&nbsp; She was quite determined to make herself handle it because if she couldn't handle it, that meant that she would have to give him up, and that was something that she wasn't sure she would be ever ready to do.<br><br>"You will not turn away from me," she said, her mind willing him to comply with what she wanted.&nbsp; She had possessed the ability, as a Siren to control men's actions to an extent, so that it worked in her favor.&nbsp; She had never used the abilities before, because she had been exiled just as soon as she had come into her position.&nbsp; Now, she figured it was a good a time as any to perfect her skills.

				Her body grew goosebumps at the heavier temperature of the room; but she wasn't concerned.&nbsp; She knew that in only a short matter of time,&nbsp; he would be warming her with his body heat, keeping her warm with his form pressed against her own.&nbsp; Angel eagerly matched the intensity of his kisses, desperate to feel more of him; to be able to experience everything he had to offer.&nbsp; This man before her was perfect. He was everything she could have possibly hoped for; and in the back of her mind, Angel was thrilled that she had the opportunity to have him for herself, even if it was just for a little while.&nbsp; Even if he decided to break her heart and toss her out after this, she'd have gotten to have him for this one time.&nbsp; And that was enough.<br><br>Crying out softly as his knee rubs against her all too sensitive center, Angel grips the sides of his arms desperately, as she practically holds onto him for support even as she sat on the solid surface of his bed.&nbsp; Pressing her mouth against his as he forces his tongue into her mouth, Angel willingly participates in their kiss, as her tongue wraps against his in the oldest of motions.&nbsp; Whimpering in loss as his mouth finally pulls away from hers,&nbsp; Angel barely has time to focus before he began to work his way down her face, kissing and nipping at her collarbone.<br><br>Letting out a small vocalization of her pleasure, Angels hips jerk forward, desperate for contact, desperate for more of him.&nbsp; As his fingers work at her bra, Angel found her own fingers shakingly attacking his pants, practically tearing them off the man in an attempt to rid him of one of the last remaining blockades from their skin touching.&nbsp; He was so firm to the touch; such a perfect example of all that was male.<br><br>---------------------<br><br>"No. You can't." he snaps back at her, this woman had no idea how to handle him.&nbsp; Who could handle a monster?&nbsp; Keeping a firm grip on her hands, probably bruising them in the process.&nbsp; As she references their previous love-making sessions, he reluctantly lets go of his grasp on her.&nbsp; However, when she begins to stroke his tattoo once more, his hands are as quick as bullets; gripping her wrists and tearing them away from his skin.&nbsp; He could not allow her to touch the symbol of his curse, touch the place where the demon had been forced into his body for the first and last time.<br><br>Chuckling darkly as she tries to use mental persuasion to keep him from turning away from her, Maddox shakes his head.&nbsp; "No siren.&nbsp; I will not turn away from you." he all but hisses at her; his grip on her tightening, inches away from snapping her very bones.&nbsp; "But by the gods, you will wish I had." he informs her darkly; his eyes burning into hers with an intense furiousity.&nbsp; <br><br>"There is no handling violence Siren.&nbsp; There is no controlling or dealing with it." he murmurs an explanation as his mouth moves to play against the crook in her neck, even as his tone is fierce and his hold on her is vicious.&nbsp; "I am struggling with myself right now to keep me from murdering you where you lay.&nbsp; When I close my eyes, I see myself basking on top of your still bleeding corpse." he says lowly; his voice barely above a whisper.&nbsp; "Tell me siren, can you deal with this? Can you handle this?" he asks, biting into her skin until he drew blood.

				Gideon finally got the bra that Angel was wearing undone and he didn't waste time in slipping it off of her body and tossing it to the floor.&nbsp; He looked down at her, his gaze fascinated as it locked on to her breasts, now bare to his eyes.&nbsp; He lifted his hands, his palms covering the soft mounds.&nbsp; He admired the way that they felt in his hands.&nbsp; They were the perfect to him.&nbsp; Not too big, not too small, and from what he was feeling right now, they were quite firm.<br><br>"Not beautiful," he whispered, his voice raspy now as he let his thumbs brush over each nipple slowly at first, but then pressing down a bit more.&nbsp; He watched carefully as the tiny little buds tightened from his touches.&nbsp; Slowly, the rest of his fingers brushed the underside of her breasts, licking his lips as he did so.&nbsp; <br><br>Lowering his mouth, he closed his lips over her nipple, drawing it into his mouth.&nbsp; He suckled it slowly, using his tongue to flick at the hard tip.&nbsp; His eyes glanced up at her, locking onto her own.&nbsp; It almost seemed like he was daring her to stop him, or do something that would stop this moment.&nbsp; The challenge that lay there was evident.<br><br>------------------<br><br>Alexia gasped out softly, more or less in pain as he bit down on her skin again, this time harder than before, and drew blood at the first go.&nbsp; She swallowed hard, looking at him.&nbsp; She would not protest at this.&nbsp; She knew that she had asked him for this, and so she was going to take whatever kind of treatment that had had doled out to her now.&nbsp; She had never been with a man, and so she did not know what do expect.&nbsp; A part of her was now wondering if this was the norm with them.<br><br>"Yes," she said softly, her body tensed and rigid underneath his.&nbsp; She couldn't figure out what had triggered his demon to possess her like this.&nbsp; She had been nothing but kind and gentle to him, because she thought that after centuries of being alone, that was what he had needed.&nbsp; She was not going to ask him to stop.&nbsp; She was not going to move away or protest.&nbsp; She was just going to let him have his way with her, and pray that this would be over and he would come to his senses soon.<br><br>"If...if you wish to take my life," she whispered softly, "I will not stop you.&nbsp; I have nothing to live for in this world.&nbsp; Perhaps it is best that I should leave it and be done with it," she told him, fear, sadness and uncertainty in her tone.&nbsp; "If you wish to kill me, then go ahead, Warrior," she whispered softly, trying to keep her voice steady as she spoke to him.&nbsp; Had she been right all along?&nbsp; Was he really sent by the Gods to kill her?&nbsp; Was that what this was all about?

				Releasing a breath of air she hadn't known she'd been holding as he finally takes hold of her bare breasts in his hands, Angel's back arches in delight, desperate for more of his touches, more of his hands upon her skin.&nbsp; She needed him like a fish needed water, or like the sun needed the moon.&nbsp; She needed him to continue on, to survive.&nbsp; She felt as though without him she would be nothing, she'd simple disappear back into the nonlife she'd been living before she met him.&nbsp; It had all been fake before she met him, but now..it was all real.&nbsp; It was all perfect, and it was all hers for the taking.&nbsp; <br><br>Blushing lightly as he murmurs how lovely he found her, one of Angel's hands moves up on its own, moving to run a slender hand through his blue hair; finding that she loved the feel of his surprisingly silky locks running through her fingers.&nbsp; Not that he was able to focus her thoughts on that for very long however, as his continued touches had her moaning out in desire.<br><br>Eyes snapping open suddenly as he suddenly clasps his mouth over her already hardened nipple, Angel's entire body jerks upward.&nbsp; The feeling was one she'd never experienced before, but already she craved it like nothing else in her entire life.&nbsp; He was everything she desired in a man, and he seemed just as desperate for her.&nbsp; "Your perfect." she murmurs softly, her voice soft in his ear even as she works to rid the man of his underwear, wanting to feel his member in her palm; already imagining it would feel like in her hand. <br><br>------------------<br><br>Chuckling against where he had bitten her, Maddox shakes his head.&nbsp; "You are making this far to easy for me little one." he all but coos out before he raises a hand and tilts her head.&nbsp; This gave him more access to her neck, and with a large tongue, he licked at her wound, stopping the blood from flowing in the process.&nbsp; "Does all of you taste this good?" he wonders aloud as he plays at her hip with his free hand, tracing along her skin carelessly.<br><br>"I do not wish for you to accept death so easily." he explains with partially lowered eyelids as he stares up at her from his place on her neck.&nbsp; "I wish for you to understand.&nbsp; To fear.&nbsp; To try and escape this fate I've placed you in." he explains calmly before he rises up from his lying position in order to sit up.&nbsp; "Your responses are all wrong." he says with a sigh as he reaches out and curls a strand of her hair around his index finger.&nbsp; She had such soft hair, he enjoyed playing with it.&nbsp; Tugging at it likely, in an almost teasing manner, Maddox stares down at the slender young female that lay in his bed,&nbsp; the emotions on his face unreadable to any who might look upon him. A warriors face, a fighters mask; perfect in his hundreds upon thousands of years of experience.&nbsp; <br><br>"You must always fight for your life little one, else why not surrender to Hera and her minions now?" he questions; trying to make her understand that he did not want her to die, merely needed her to understand that if she stayed with him, she no doubt would end up a corpse.&nbsp; The thought that he would surrender to his more bestial nature and destroy the perfection he held in his arms horrified him like nothing else.&nbsp; The guilt of such an action would be carried with him for the rest of his lifespan, which, considering he was immortal, was likely a very long time.&nbsp; So, he would push her away from his side; no matter how much he desired her to remain.&nbsp; <br>

				Sensing what she needed, Gideon lifted his hips, allowing her to slip his boxers off of his body.&nbsp; His member was hard and throbbing, already hardened to perfection.&nbsp; He was aching to be inside of his female.&nbsp; Wanted to claim her body as his, so that no one else would ever dare touch her without fear of losing their life in the process.&nbsp; He knew now that he couldn't let this woman leave him.&nbsp; She would never be allowed to leave this fortress, at least not without him at her side.<br><br>"I am nearly as perfect as you are, my angel," he said, after lifting his head from her breast, not knowing where those words came from.&nbsp; He was claiming her as his, and he didn't try and stop himself.&nbsp; Not this time.&nbsp; He was going to have her, he needed her, wanted her, desired her, craved her.&nbsp; He wanted her presence surrounding his senses entirely, so that he would be as lost in her as he was going to make her lost in him.<br><br>Murmuring softly, he lowered his mouth back down, this time fastening to the other nipple.&nbsp; His hand smoothed down her stomach, heading further south until it touched the top of her panties.&nbsp; Slowly, he slipped his fingers inside the soft material, caressing her skin as he went along.&nbsp; Feeling her wetness, he purred out loudly.&nbsp; When his mouth let go of her nipple, he looked up at her, his eyes focused and intense.&nbsp; "Tell me...Do you taste as good here, as you do up here?" he asked, sliding his fingers slowly up and down her wet slit.<br><br>---------------<br><br>"Why should I fight for a life that will always be empty and lonely?" she asked him, her eyes focused on his.&nbsp; He was pushing her away.&nbsp; He obviously didn't want her.&nbsp; Did he really think that she was surrounded completely by others before he had come along?&nbsp; Did he think that she had a family here, someone to come home to?&nbsp; She didn't.&nbsp; Her life was lonely as one could ever imagine.&nbsp; She had thought that she would always find someone to love her, someone to call her own, but she realized now, that was something that would never happen.<br><br>"I do not doubt that Hera and her minions are out looking for me at this very moment," she told him softly.&nbsp; "I believe that it's only a matter of time before they find me, and I am resigned to my fate," she told him.&nbsp; "I cannot hide forever, and I know that I am no match to go up against her.&nbsp; They are probably out looking for me as we speak," she said softly, a shiver of fear running through her body visibly at that thought.<br><br>"A lonely existence is not one that is to be desired, Warrior," she told him softly.&nbsp; "It is not something that I would wish upon anyone," she said softly.&nbsp; "But I suppose, I do not have to preach to you of such things," she told him.&nbsp; "I am sure that you have had your own share of being alone," she said, closing her mouth.&nbsp; Gathering that he was done with her, she turned, and reached for the shirt that he had given to her, slipping it on her body.&nbsp; Bowing her head, she spoke.&nbsp; "Are you satisfied with the thanks I have given you for saving my life, Warrior?" she asked him softly, trying to hide the sting of his rejection of her.

				She was ecstatic to have his member free of the trap of his boxers.&nbsp; She was now able to hold him in her palm, feeling his large size in her hand, shivering as she imagines it inside of her.&nbsp; Rubbing along a vein that throbbed along his cock, Angel smiled amidst her own pleasure, happy now that she was able to give him a bit of pleasure in return for all that he had given her.&nbsp; And that was exactly what she did, as she slowly began to push her hand up and down along his large cock.<br><br>His Angel. Not just her name...he was calling her his.&nbsp; Her name coming from his lips sounded more like an endearment than a name, made her shiver with a kind of serene pleasure.&nbsp; Surprisingly enough, it somehow calmed her from the insanity of he pleasure.&nbsp; Made her look at him with softened eyes.&nbsp; When he said her name, it made her feel loved, like she belonged somewhere, belonged with him.&nbsp; While at the same time, it made her feel like he was possessing her, laying claim to her by stating that she, in fact, belonged not just with him, but too him as well.<br><br>Releasing a small scream of delight as he returns his mouth back to her nipple and began to slide his fingers against her slit, Angel's legs spread wide for him; desperate to have him inside of her, or at the very least to do more than merely tease her entrance.&nbsp; "God yes!" she cries out, not really coherent enough to know what he had asked her, but knowing it was a yes or no question.&nbsp; So she went with whatever would make him continue touching her, and she assumed that was a yes.&nbsp; <br><br>-------------------------<br><br>"Have you always been this way?" Maddox muses as he shifts himself so that his back lay against the wall that his bed was pressed up against, staring at the miserable woman with an almost indulgent look in his eyes.&nbsp; He heard what she was saying, but he doubted that things were so desperate for her.&nbsp; Even if any man who looked upon her did see her as hideous, did that not still leave her females for companionship?&nbsp; What of the other sirens? Any he had ever seen had always traveled in groups, like a pack of wild stallions running and playing about the countryside.<br><br>"They will not find you while you remain within these walls." Maddox informs her gruffly, eyes narrowed as he contemplates the individuals who wished to bring the tiny woman harm.&nbsp; The thought of Alexia in such danger infuriated him, and within his mind, war drums began to sound off as he began to contemplate just how horribly he would devastate anyone who dared to touch a hair on her head, let alone harm one.&nbsp; <br><br>"I know of loneliness." he confirms with a short nod of his head, crossing his arms in a completely masculine pose as he gazes at the woman, still slightly on edge from imagining her hurt.&nbsp; "Who says you are finished thanking me?" Maddox questions her with a slight smirk, an actually teasing gleam in his eyes for the first time in quite awhile.&nbsp; "I do not remember being done with you." he murmurs as he reaches forward, tugging on the womans arm and dragging her into his lap, where he wrapped his arms around her in an almost loving manner.

				Gideon let out a shuddering gasp as he felt Angel's hand close over his hard shaft.&nbsp; His member pulsed and jumped to life at her touch, the throbbing increasing exponentially as she touched him.&nbsp; "Fuck..." he groaned out softly, his eyes rolling to the back of his head in pleasure as she touched him.&nbsp; "You don't have any idea how good that feels," he breathed out, his eyes, now darkened with desire, looking up at her face.<br><br>His fingers stroked back and forth along her slit, still exploring.&nbsp; Coming in contact with her clit, he smiled sinfully.&nbsp; Carefully, he let his thumb flick across the sensitive piece of skin, before tweaking it gently.&nbsp; He had seen too many of Paris's porn movies to not have some idea of what it was that he was doing.&nbsp; Circling her nub once more, he watched her face intently before sliding his fingers down further, feeling carefully for the entrance that he wanted.<br><br>As if changing his mind, he withdrew his fingers completely from her sex, slipping them out of her panties.&nbsp; Sliding his hands underneath her, he slid her lithe body back against the bed further, eyes locked on hers.&nbsp; Spreading her legs, he took hold of the waistband of his panties, slipping them down her legs easily, using his hands to lift her bottom to get the garment off of her.&nbsp; "Tell me what you want me to do now," he asked her, his voice a low purr as he took his time, devouring her sex with his eyes.<br><br>-------------------------------------<br><br>"You are the most contradictory man I have ever come across," Alexia told Maddox as she eyed him carefully.&nbsp; "You say one thing, and then mean something completely the opposite," she said, gesturing to the intimate position that they were sitting in.&nbsp; Her tone was not accusing nor hinting of any disgust behind her words.&nbsp; Instead, she was merely curious, and a tiny bit confused. Of course, she had to admit that she had never really made contact on such a level with any other man, but she doubted, from what she had seen of the humans, they were this complicated.<br><br>"What is it that you seek from me, Warrior?" she asked softly, realizing that this might be the start of a pattern of intimacy between the two of them if things went the right way.&nbsp; "You say that you do not want a mate," she said, her eyes roaming over Maddox's face.&nbsp; "But yet, I doubt that you would let me leave this place if I wanted to at this point," she told him, her fingers reaching out to tentatively stroke his cheek in a tender manner.&nbsp; "You push me away, but yet the next minute, you want me near you...And I can almost imagine what your reaction would be if another male were to seek out my company," she said, a hint of teasing in her voice now.<br><br>"You say you know of loneliness, and I do not doubt that in the least.&nbsp; However," she said.&nbsp; "You must know that you do not have to be lonely for the rest of your days," she told him.&nbsp; "If I had wanted to leave you because of the demon you possessed, I would not have stayed in bed with you when it showed itself to me just a short while ago," she told him.&nbsp; "I do not believe that neither you, nor your demon is truly capable of hurting me," she told him.&nbsp; "I just...have to figure out how to not trigger it, and it needs to get used to having me around...That is...If you're going to keep me around," she added at the end, biting on her bottom lip gently.

				Smiling to herself as she hears his gasp for pleasure; and feels him shudder against her touches; Angel couldn't help but feel happy at his reactions.&nbsp; This was proof that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.&nbsp; This was evidence that she was able to bring him pleasure, and that feeling itself made her feel better than any of Gideons touches ever could.&nbsp; Although, truth be told, what he was doing to her right now was getting pretty close to that.&nbsp; <br><br>Moaning softly as he begins to play with her clit, the center of all her pleasure,&nbsp; Angels head curls inward as her entire body quakes with delight.&nbsp; How was he able to make her feel so wonderful with such small motions?&nbsp; He had barely touched her, and yet already she was wetter than she could ever recall being in her entire life!&nbsp; And her panties weren't even off of her yet!&nbsp; Using her free hand to clutch at his firm shoulder, Angel clings to him for support, feeling as though she might not actually be able to bare what he was doing to her.&nbsp; <br><br>When her panties finally came off, Angel can actually feel the mans eyes on her.&nbsp; She felt completely vulnerable.&nbsp; Completely open to his sight, nothing hid her from him; he was able to look at her closer than anyone before.&nbsp; It wasn't as though it was dark, or the lights were off so that darkness might shadow her body.&nbsp; He could see every inch of her, and his eyes caressed her with a hunger that sent shivers down her spine.&nbsp; "I want you to fuck me." she breaths out as she lay there beneath him; completely spread out, his for the taking.&nbsp; "I want you to make love to me until I can't move." she urges him even as she refuses to let go of his cock, still rubbing it in her hands.<br><br>-----------------<br><br>"You must remember little one, I am more than one man." he explains as he rests his head atop hers, breathing in the scent of her hair.&nbsp; She smelled wonderful.&nbsp; It was an odd thing to think about, but it was true.&nbsp; She had the softest smell, like rainwater mixed with some kind of flowery herb.&nbsp; He was reluctant to let her go because of it, and his grip on her tightened slightly, worried that she may try and move from the position he had sat her in.&nbsp; <br><br>"I don't want you to be so willing." he murmurs as his thumb rubs against her upper arm.&nbsp; "You seem so happy to welcome my embrace, but you truly shouldn't."&nbsp; he begins explaining as he carefully begins to thread his fingers through her hair, gently ridding her of any tangles she might have.&nbsp; "You have this belief that my demon is this controllable thing.&nbsp; Do not call it out little one, it is far to eager to respond."&nbsp; She had called out his demon in the midst of their intercourse, and her demon had responded.&nbsp; It was a terrifying thing.&nbsp; "But you are correct in your assumption." he says with an all too masculine smirk.&nbsp; "I will not allow you to leave here anytime soon." if he ever would.&nbsp; The longer he stayed in the sirens presence, the less he wanted to leave her side.<br><br>"You will be kept around." he confirms as he lowers his head, pressing his mouth against her neck, his lips over the place where he had bitten her just a short time ago.&nbsp; "But you must not assume my demon or I am so harmless to you."

				"It would not be my pleasure," Gideon said, not wasting time in lowering his head to her neck, stroking and caressing her soft skin with his mouth.&nbsp; His tongue flicked against the smoothness, moving lower still.&nbsp; He kissed across her breast, using his tongue to circle one nipple then the other, in a smooth lingering caress.&nbsp; He mouth was warm, and soft, his breath decadently heated as it came out in puffs against her body.<br><br>Slowly, he maneuvered himself so that he was settled between her legs.&nbsp; He pried her hands off of his shaft slowly, his arousal heated and jumping wildly.&nbsp; There was a tiny bead of moisture already pooling at the tip, and he fought hard to keep his body from releasing right then and there.&nbsp; He wouldn't do that.&nbsp; He couldn't do that, not yet.&nbsp; He wanted to be inside her when he came, and no other place would be satisfactory.<br><br>His hands went to her shoulders, gripping them and trying to keep them down to the bed.&nbsp; His shaft, positioned at her wet entrance now, slowly started to slide into the tight sheath of her body.&nbsp; With a soft groan, he let himself slip in and inch only, before pausing to watch her face, looking for any kind of discomfort that she might experience.&nbsp; He was not sure if she was a virgin or not, but from the fact that she was originally here to bed Paris, he doubted that she was.&nbsp; Still, he did not want to take that chance and hurt her, so he took things slow, pushing in inch by inch, revelling in the tightness around his shaft.<br><br>--------------------------<br><br>Upon his mouth reaching her neck, Alexia let out a soft purr.&nbsp; She shivered underneath his body, once she had realized that he had marked her.&nbsp; Her nails, long and sharp as they were, went to his shoulder, grazing down his skin, making sure to leave red marks there.&nbsp; Those marks would show other women that decided to come near him that he was hers and hers alone.&nbsp; She had never been a confrontational person, but she decided that all that would be thrown out the window if someone dared to close in on her territory.<br><br>"And what do you plan to do with me while I am here, Warrior?" she asked, her voice teasing as she spoke to him.&nbsp; She wasn't quite sure if he would like her calling him by his name, or if he preferred a more proper form of address, so she figured that Warrior was the safest name that she could come up with.&nbsp; Of course, she had called him "Love" during their lovemaking, but she wasn't sure if she should be adventurous in doing so again, being that he was so adamant about her not falling in love with him.<br><br>"I don't suppose you'd have me doing trivial things, such as cleaning your weapons and cooking you food.&nbsp; Perhaps, you might even let me tend to your men, if I am good," she said, making sure to the keep the teasing tone in her voice so that he would know that she was not being overly serious.&nbsp; She grinned, looking up at him.&nbsp; "So tell me exactly what it is a female...friend, not lover, of a Warrior is supposed to do?" she asked, cheekily, making sure to add that she was just a female friend, wanting to see how he would react.

				She was actually a little upset when he worked to pull her hands off his member.&nbsp; She loved the feel of him in her hand, the warm hardness in her grasp, allowing her to give him pleasure.&nbsp; She verbalized her disappointment with losing his touch with a small grunt, but her frustration is quickly cut off by feelings of pleasure.&nbsp; <br><br>He was inside of her.&nbsp; Finally, finally inside of her.&nbsp; But he was teasing in his motions, only allowing an inch to go in as he stares at her face.&nbsp; It was all she could do not to beg him once more, to plead with him to push deeper inside of her, already her hips were jerking upwards in an attempt to force him deeper within her core.&nbsp; She didn't beg though, he had told her not to earlier, so instead she places her hands on his hips, her grip tight as she tries to force him down.&nbsp; "God!" she moans out in desire as her walls embrace his large throbbing cock within her.&nbsp; <br><br>Angel was no virgin, the organization must have quizzed her on the number of partners she'd had a thousand times; wanting to make sure she was ready for whatever went on there.&nbsp; She'd had her fair share of sexual experiences, that much was true; but she was still caught off guard by the size of him.&nbsp; He was huge, and as he finally slid into her completely, inch by god forsaken inch, she could feel herself being caught up in the pleasure; desperate to feel more, to feel everything he had to offer.&nbsp; And from the looks of things, he could offer her a lot.&nbsp; <br><br>--------------------------<br><br>Watching through slitted eyes as the siren uses her long fingernails to scratch along his chest, Maddox smirks against her skin, still refusing to move from his place on her neck as he feels the slight scrapes.&nbsp; They wouldn't remain there very long, it was nearly impossible for any of the lords to scar.&nbsp; Lucian had to cut into his face hundreds of times before his scars finally remained, and thus destroying what would have been an otherwise handsome face.&nbsp; If Lucian had to go through all that to keep his facial scars, Maddox truly doubted the young woman's minor scratches would survive the hour. <br><br>"I'm not sure." Maddox admits with a shrug that moved his body slightly, in turn causing hers to shift on his lap.&nbsp; The motion caused him to shiver lightly.&nbsp; He'd need to be more careful in the future, else he'd wind up having this woman again and again.&nbsp; And considering that it was steadily getting closer to midnight, he was unsure of how much longer he'd be able to stay in the woman's presence at all.&nbsp; <br><br>"You will not be with the other men." He commands with a dark growl, his eyes glowing a dark red at the very thought of it, his hold on her tightening considerably as he imagines his fellows having their way with her, touching her bountiful breasts, dipping against her soft thighs...with another growl; he begins to rub his palm over her stomach, needing to feel her against him; needing to be reassured that it was not someone else she was with.&nbsp; It was odd.&nbsp; Half of his mind wanted to toss the woman out the window for all the strife he'd had to deal with due to her presence, while the other half of him wanted to keep her here forever, so that he might bask in her purity for the rest of eternity.<br><br>It was an odd thing to deal with.<br>

				"Yes, not god," Gideon said, a smirk crossing his lips.&nbsp; "Gideon..." he leaned down, fastening his mouth to the side of her neck, sucking hard.&nbsp; As he did so, he bit her neck gently, wanting to make sure that there would be a mark on her skin by the time that he was done.&nbsp; He wanted to make sure that by the time she left his bed, it would be more than apparent to whom it was that she belonged to.<br><br>His hips continued to move in and out of her body, his pace a mix between painstakingly slow, and hurried.&nbsp; He gripped her shoulders, letting his fingers sink into her skin as he used her body as leverage, to keep his steady up above hers.&nbsp; He could feel her silken walls stretching and squeezing around him, and that caused him to let out a moan, the sound echoing all around in the otherwise empty room.<br><br>Had this been any other encounter, Gideon would have been concerned with whether or not he was hurting the woman that lay underneath him.&nbsp; However, it had been far too long since he had a woman, and his body was quite determined to release all of the pent up sexual energy he had housed within him.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia smiled, obviously pleased with the reaction that she had gotten out of Maddox when she had provoked him into thinking that she would give her assets so willingly to his men.&nbsp; She would rather die than have another man touching her the way that Maddox had touched her before, and the way that he was touching her now.&nbsp; She couldn't see herself ever reveling and enjoying the hands of another man upon her body again.<br><br>"Well, Maddox," she said, letting his name fall gingerly from her tongue.&nbsp; She decided that she liked saying his name, and liked the way it just flowed so easily past her luscious lips.&nbsp; "I think that you will have to find some ways to keep me occupied, if you do not wish me to fraternize with your men," she giggled.&nbsp; Slowly, she let a finger of hers trail tenderly across his cheek, savoring in the feel of his smooth skin underneath her fingertips.&nbsp; She was just touching him, trying to see what kind of things got a response out of him, and what sorts of things didn't.<br><br>She would happily spend all her time locked up with this man, even if they were doing something trivial like have staring contests with each other.&nbsp; It wouldn't really matter much to her, as long as she was in his presence.&nbsp; She could sense a change in her world, and it was a good thing.&nbsp; Things seemed more centered now that Maddox was around.&nbsp; She wasn't afraid, because he'd given her a reason to not be.&nbsp; &nbsp; At this point, she knew that he could've been sent by the Gods themselves to kill her, and it wouldn't matter to her, because she was sure that she would let him.<br><br>With just one night, she was ruined, she thought to herself, the thought not bothering her as much as she thought it would.

				Taking his correction into account, Angel properly changes the focus of her cries.&nbsp; "Gideon!" she breathes out, over and over again.&nbsp; Repeating his name like the most reverent of prayers as he continued his assault on her helpless body.&nbsp; The pleasures he was able to lay out on her leaving her mindless, and without any sense of thought.&nbsp; She couldn't think, couldn't focus, she was only able to feel more and more pleasure.<br><br>She could feel something inside of her tightening as he continued his wild thrusts.&nbsp; And god, were they wild.&nbsp; Just as she began to get used to his amazingly deep and fast blows inside of her, he would change the pace; and suddenly he would become teasingly slow, taunting her with only the smallest amount of him inside of her; entering her inch by impossible slow inch.&nbsp; This man was going to drive her insane with the pleasure he was delivering into her body.&nbsp; She matched his moans, her voice echoing around the room with his in the most erotic of symphonies.<br><br>Angel didn't care if he was being overly rough; this was the most she'd enjoyed sex in her entire life, she wasn't about to stop it all because she was worried that all his sucking and biting on her neck was going to leave a mark or two.&nbsp; Angel had yet to realize that this was Gideon's way of marking her; she just thought he was giving her a hickey.<br><br>---------------------<br><br>His face revealed nothing as she said his name; remaining in its stoic position, giving no apparent reaction to the way she practically purred out his name while on the inside, it caused him to boil.&nbsp; Something about the way she said it intoxicated him, it made him want to take her all over again.&nbsp; "I can think of a way to keep you occupied." Maddox confirms solemnly.&nbsp; "It involves sex." he supplies, as though she wouldn't have been able to figure that out for herself.&nbsp; His member becoming partially erect in the process, confirming that he could back up his words.<br><br>"Tell me about yourself." He requests as his eyes trail along her features; checking for a moment to make sure he hadn't actually hurt her in his rougher earlier motions.&nbsp; While, as a siren, he was sure she would be able to take more than say, a human woman might, he was still concerned with the woman's welfare.&nbsp; <br>

				Gideon's mouth moaned from around her skin, his teeth sucking hre skin further into his warmth as he markred her.&nbsp; He knew that she probably didn't have any kind of semblance that he was indeed marking her, and claiming her as his.&nbsp; He couldn't blame her though, and he would have fun watching her reaction later on, once she figured out what he was doing.<br><br>His hips never slowed down as they pistoned their way inside and out of her body.&nbsp; His hands pinned her shoulders, keeping her firmly sandwiched befween his body and the softness of the bed.&nbsp; The time for his teasing was way past gone and he was having his pleasure feeling her body around him.&nbsp; His movements were powerful, and held their purpose as he thrusted, causing the bed to shake slightly around them.<br><br>He knew that he was close, but he wanted to last as long as he could, even though that may not even end up being all that long in his mind.&nbsp; It had been quite a few years since he'd been with a woman, and now that he had one that was so willingly going into his bed, he was going to make the most of things with her.&nbsp; He could tell that she was enjoying herself, because of the way she was aroused and the kind of noises that she made which mirrored his own.<br><br>---------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia thought for a moment as she tried to figure out what about herself she wanted to share with this man.&nbsp; She knew that he would ask about her eventually, but just how much of her past would she want to reveal to him?&nbsp; She knew that she didn't have the best life before this, and she had done some things that she certainly was not very proud of, but she still held on to the hope that maybe he would look past those misgivings and keep her with him anyways.<br><br>"Well," she began, chewing lightly on her bottom lip as she tried to find the right words to get out what she needed to say.&nbsp; "As you know, I am a Siren," she said.&nbsp; "I am not entirely sure who my father or my mother is, because the rumors that I have heard growing up center around me being found by the Goddess Aphrodite and then having her take me under her care," she said, shrugging a bit.&nbsp; That much of her story was true so far, and so was the next things that she would tell Maddox.&nbsp; "I am cursed, because I was the lucky soul to have one of Hera's admirers fall in love with me," she told him.&nbsp; "I cannot have children, nor can any man seem to get to close to me, because of my appearance," she explained.&nbsp; "She put a curse on me that makes any man that gets close to me, see me as nothing more than an ugly hag, so the fact that you claim you see nothing of the sort quite surprises me if you want me to be truthful..."<br><br>"I was cast out of Olympus a few years ago, once Hera had found me hiding in the mountains of the home of the Gods," she said.&nbsp; "I know that she is still after me, and that's why I was running way.&nbsp; She is known for sending her henchman after me without warning.&nbsp; She apparently still wants my head on a platter even after all these years..."&nbsp; &nbsp;There was a sadness to the woman's voice now as she spoke, and she knew that it was something that she should not have let Maddox witness, because she wasn't entirely sure that he wouldn't try to use her vulnerability against her in the future.&nbsp; "If you keep me here," she said softly.&nbsp; "I am almost certain that Hera will come after you as well, just like she promised to do with anyone who helps me," she said.

				His pounding inside of her was everything that Angel wanted and more.&nbsp; The pleasure sent every cell in her body on fire.&nbsp; It felt so good, almost too good. She desperately tried to match his thrusts, even as her fingernails scrape at his side; leaving tiny red streaks that disappeared moments after their creation. He had her pinned against the bed, and Angel struggled against him every step of the way; her body writhing almost uncontrollably as he gives her the most pleasurable of tortures.&nbsp; <br><br>She couldn't last much longer.&nbsp; Solid thought had long since left her mind, and as the knot within her chest finally reached the point where it could hold on no longer, Angel lets out a piercing scream.&nbsp; Normally, she was fairly quiet during sex, a moan here, a groan there; this was the first time she could ever remember having no choice but to shout out her pleasures.&nbsp; Her orgasm ran long as her inner walls clamp around the mans hard cock.<br><br>------<br><br>He listened to her tale in silence as she spoke of the incident with Hera and the man who had fallen in love with her.&nbsp; She'd already informed him of her curse, so he wasn't exactly phased by that.&nbsp; It surprised him to hear that as of yet, he was the only one who was able to see her for what she truly looked like.&nbsp; But a large part of him was grateful for that, this way he could be greedy over her; and not need worry that someone else might steal her away. Briefly though, he wondered why he was able to see through her curse.&nbsp; Why did he see her as she truly was, and no other? It didn't make any sense.&nbsp; Perhaps all of the warriors would be able to see Alexia's true form, though he was reluctant to allow the others to gaze upon her.<br><br>"The gods have ignored our existence for far too long." he murmurs against her ear as she warns him of what dangers would be involved in keeping her close. "I care not for their potential wrath." Not if it meant that he'd be able to keep Alexia.&nbsp; No, he was not about to send the slender young woman out on her own just because of the long begotten rage of a goddess.&nbsp; He was sure that he'd be handle whatever minions Hera sent their way, and anything else could be delt with when it came.&nbsp; "You will be staying here." he clarifies.

				"Very bad," he murmured, his voice thick now as he spoke to her.&nbsp; He was satisfied with himself that he was able to please this little vixen.&nbsp; The look on her fact told him that he had done just that.&nbsp; He had watched too many of Paris's adult films to not know that there was a great bit of enjoyment that was had with this female while she was in his bed.<br><br>He also felt as sated as she did.&nbsp; His body was calm and not keyed up.&nbsp; He had been satisfied, and the orgasm that he just experienced helped to relax him further.&nbsp; Now, he could see why Paris liked sex so much, and almost envied his friend for being cursed with the demon of Promiscuity.&nbsp; Moving himself so that he was underneath her, he pulled her up against his body, guiding her head to his chest.<br><br>He listened to the beat of her heart, and her breathing as he held her close to him.&nbsp; He had already decided that he would not let her leave&nbsp; the fortress now.&nbsp; He couldn't do that.&nbsp; There was too much at stake now.&nbsp; She had seen too many things, probably figured out a few things on her own, and so he couldn't risk putting his friends in danger by letting her go back into the world again.&nbsp; Now, the hard part would be trying to figure out how to tell her what he was planning.<br><br>"I can let you go now," he said to her gently, trying to keep his voice as calm as he could manage, so as to not frighten the woman that was in his bed with him.&nbsp; "You do not belong here with me, and so I will let you go, and you will be allowed away from my side for the rest of your life."&nbsp; At this point, Gideon was not afraid of her misunderstanding him, and so he just said what he had to say to her, waiting for whatever her reaction would be.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia laughed softly as she let herself be pulled along behind Maddox.&nbsp; "I have not had a real bath in a bathroom before," she said softly, her cheeks heating up from embarrassment at that admission.&nbsp; "I have seen such rooms before, in the houses of the people I used to clean for, but I was never fortunate enough to use one.&nbsp; I used to bathe in the rivers that run throughout the forest at the bottom of the mountain," she explained.<br><br>She stayed quiet as she entered the room that was attached to Maddox's.&nbsp; She saw the tub and the wash basin, as well as the toilet.&nbsp; She was familiar with these things, and they look very similar to the ones that she had cleaned before.

				"Thanks." She says briefly as she slowly, reluctantly, lifts herself up from his chest; already missing the warmth of his body.&nbsp; But she needed to check out the bite mark; so there was no helping it.&nbsp; Still, she gave him a good show, rolling her hips as she walks bare naked into his bathroom; she walks inside and begins searching for some kind of first aid kit.&nbsp; She didn't find any, so she settled on simply washing out the bite.&nbsp; <br><br>Taking a look at herself in the mirror, Angel lets out a laugh.&nbsp; Her entire neck was covered in bite marks, small hickeys playing all over her neck; all the way down to her chest.&nbsp; He certainly hadn't been shy.&nbsp; Washing out the small wound, Angel shakes her head.&nbsp; There was no helping it.&nbsp; For the rest of her life she'd have this tiny reminder of her time with Gideon.<br><br>"What are you talking about?" she say from the bathroom as she stares at him as he leaned against the doorframe, his massive form blocking any kind of exit she might take.&nbsp; "You haven't been lying to-" and then it comes together.&nbsp; He HAD been lying to her, she just hadn't noticed because his facial expressions had been based on his hidden truth.&nbsp; "You..you've been lying to me?" she asks softly; her voice shallow as she stares at him.&nbsp; She'd been found out! Now he'd hate her for sure!&nbsp; She could almost imagine it, he'd try to be kind to her, tell her he was fine with it; but she'd only hear the truth.&nbsp; He'd think she was a freak, and she'd hear him say as such.&nbsp; <br><br>---------<br><br>Helping her slip into the tub; he smoothly follows in after her.&nbsp; "Of course I will." he murmurs to her softly before he pulls her down, sinking both of their bodies completely in the wonderfully warm water.&nbsp; Smiling a tad bit smugly as he hears her purr, Maddox is quick to pull her to him in the bath.&nbsp; "How else will I help you bathe?" he murmurs into her ear before he takes the wash cloth and begins to scrub her back.<br><br>She was beautiful, every inch of her was just right for fitting against him.&nbsp; It was as though she was the missing puzzle piece, as she filled in every hollow of his body. Soaping up the cloth, he continues washing her body in sensually soft motions, making sure to wash her everywhere, taking special care in her more sensitive areas, as he plays the warm cloth against her chest; taking special attention to her breasts, and more specifically, her nipples.

				Gideon studied her carefully, his eyes trained on her face, reading every expression that crossed her beautiful features.&nbsp; For some reason he had a suspicion that she was lying, although, he could not quite pinpoint why it was that she would be lying to him.&nbsp; She didn't seem to be Bait.&nbsp; She didn't act like Bait, but she certainly was pretty enough to be Bait.&nbsp; The Hunters that hunted him and&nbsp; his friends were smart enough to use only the most gorgeous women to track them down, and Angel was certainly no exception.<br><br>He had not come across a mortal that truly knew of their curses.&nbsp; The ones that lived here in Buda knew them to be angels and not the demons that they were.&nbsp; Hunters, he guessed, while they knew of their curses, it was not certain as to whether or not they knew the specifics of what each of the curses entailed.&nbsp; Furthermore, he seriously doubted that a Hunter would be able to decode his lies so easily to the point that she was hearing only the truth coming from his mouth.&nbsp; The Hunters were talented, but not that talented.<br><br>That left only two options.&nbsp; One, she was an immortal being like himself, or two, she was cursed in somewhat the same way that Sabin was cursed.&nbsp; Lifting his head back to look at her, he narrowed his eyes.&nbsp; "So tell me...Are you not an immortal, or are you merely not cursed just as I am?"&nbsp; &nbsp;He had to find out the truth with this woman.&nbsp; He knew that by telling her this, he would be letting on that he knew that she had been lying to him, but he didn't care.&nbsp; If she was truly innocent, she could come up with a plausible explanation that checked out.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------<br><br>Alexia liked the way that she felt against Maddox's strong body.&nbsp; She reclined easily against him, her body melting into his strong heat.&nbsp; She had never bathed with another person before, much less a man.&nbsp; When she frolicked in the waters of the nearby lakes and rivers, she usually chose to do so alone, never knowing who she might stumble upon that would be her enemy.&nbsp; She could definitely get used to this, she thought to herself.&nbsp; She had a feeling that Maddox and herself would be doing a good few activities together from now on, and she had absolutely no complaints about that.<br><br>Letting out a soft murmur as he washed her breasts, she closed her eyes, purring again before opening them.&nbsp; His hands felt heavenly on her, like if he knew just how and where to touch her.&nbsp; He must've had many years of practice, she thought.&nbsp; As soon as the thought crossed her mind though, she found herself a bit dismayed at the premise that other women had gotten to enjoy this man.&nbsp; Her man.&nbsp; It seemed that she was slowly starting to get bitten by the jealousy bug.&nbsp; As if to further confirm her suspicions, her mouth opened and she started to speak before she could stop herself.&nbsp; "Have you been with many women?" she asked softly, not bringing herself to look at his face.

				Angel couldn't take Gideons steady gaze on her.&nbsp; She found herself unable to look him in the eye.&nbsp; He was figuring it all out so quickly! She could feel the tears begin to well up behind her eyes.&nbsp; Beyond the job the organization gave her and everything else, she really <em>liked</em> Gideon.&nbsp; And she didn't want to see him disgusted by her.&nbsp; But that was what was going to happen, and whats worse was, with him standing in front of the doorway like he was, she couldn't even run away from it; from him.<br><br>"An immortal? No.---no.&nbsp; I guess you COULD say I was cursed." Angel admits with a bitter laugh, running a tense hand through her hair.&nbsp; She'd never actually used that term before, but she realized that was exactly what her ability was.&nbsp; A curse.&nbsp; How was Gideon cursed though? She couldn't see a thing about the man that didn't feel perfect to her.&nbsp; <br><br>"I...I don't know what your curse is." she admits, leaning against the bathroom sink staring down at the floor tiles, still refusing to look him in the eyes.&nbsp; "I'm just..weird." she explains bleakly.&nbsp; "I...I can't tell when someone is lying." she says, awkwardly trying to explain.&nbsp; "Whenever anyone lies to me, I only hear the truth they are trying to hide." she confesses with a shaky sigh; closing her eyes, waiting for him to vocalize how disgusting she was, how disgusting.&nbsp; All while believing that he was trying to comfort her and tell her it was alright.&nbsp; They never meant it, and she always knew.&nbsp; "Please...Please don't say anything.&nbsp; I'll just...I'll just get my clothes now and go."<br><br>-----<br><br>Scrubbing her skin, Maddox marvels over how silky smooth her skin was. Even her complexion was perfect.&nbsp; Everything about her seemed just right to him, she wasn't too skinny, wasn't too large, and that made her fit up against his chest like the missing piece to a puzzle.&nbsp; They fit together, it was as simple as that.<br><br>He continued to wash her form diligently, taking patient effort to rid her of any of the dirt and grime left over from her desperate escape through the woods earlier that evening. Once he was satisfied that her body was clean enough, he began working on her hair.&nbsp; Pulling her back, he slowly dunks her just enough to make her hair suitably wet, before pouring a small amount of shampoo into her hair.&nbsp; From there, he began to massage her scalp; working to cleanse her hair just as well as he had cleaned the rest of her body. If this truly was Alexia's first use of a bathtub, then he wanted to make the experience a memorable one. <br><br>Hearing her question, Maddox's eyes darken slightly, his hands hesitating for only a moment, pausing as he tries to decide how to answer, before they automatically continue to their massaging motions against her head.&nbsp; "Yes." he confesses softly.&nbsp; He almost wished that he hadn't, that he had waited for her.&nbsp; The only solace he had was that he could use his knowledge to pleasure her more.&nbsp; "None like you." he murmurs into her ear softly, hoping to ease any troubles the information might give her.&nbsp;

				"Where are you not going?" Gideon asked the woman that stood in front of him as she seemed a bit uncomfortable now and scrambled for her clothing.&nbsp; Was it that she was embarrassed by the kind of curse that she possessed?&nbsp; Surely, she had to know what it was that she had within her, and how much it was a good thing, but by the look on her face, and how mortified she seemed, he could tell that she didn't know either of those things.<br><br>Well, then, he thought to himself.&nbsp; He would just have to explain things to her.&nbsp; All his life, he had longed for a woman that would understand him, and would want to be near him without running away in fear and disgust from the lies that he told.&nbsp; He had never really come across a woman who had wanted to be with him after all he did was hurl insults at her in her mind.<br><br>"Don't you understand that you are exactly what I have not been looking for my entire life?" he asked her, blocking her path out of his room still.&nbsp; "You have not done what no other woman had not done, and that was not understand me and not see past my lies.&nbsp; Do you not honestly think that would not be something that I am going to be angry and upset over?&nbsp; Because it is," he said quietly.&nbsp; "I am not more convinced now than ever that I do want you to leave, Angel..."<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"And..." she said softly, taking the bar of soap from his hands and lathering her own hands with them.&nbsp; Alexia looked at Maddox briefly, before she placed her soapy hands on his chest, lathering up his own skin in very much the same manner that he had done to her.&nbsp; She wasn't going to let him think that she was not capable of returning the favor with him.&nbsp; She wanted to please him just as much as he wanted to obviously please her.<br><br>She sighed happily at the feel of his soft, tautly muscled skin underneath her fingertips.&nbsp; Slowly, she looked back up at him, and remembered that she was going to ask him something.&nbsp; Remembering what she had wanted to say, she bit her lip.&nbsp; She didn't want to come out as being overly jealous already, but she knew that she had to know.&nbsp; "And now that we...are...together," she said slowly.&nbsp; "Will you have need for another woman?" she asked him quietly, her eyes suddenly now finding her hands very interesting.<br><br>However, she needed to know if she was going to be just another harem girl out of many to him.&nbsp; She wasn't good at sharing and she didn't think that life with Maddox would be any different.&nbsp; She was very sure that the next woman that would even look at him in the wrong way would be on the receiving end of a very harsh slap to the face.&nbsp; "I'm sorry, if that was bold of me, my lord," she said quietly, her face heating up as she lowered her eyes to water, when she'd realized how her questions and comments towards him had sounded.

				"I'm leaving."&nbsp; Angel replies hoarsely as she tugs on her clothes.&nbsp; Running a hand through her hair in frustration as she fumbles around the room; Angel shoves her clothes on, all while scouting the area for missing items.&nbsp; She couldn't find her bra, but at this point she was scrambling so desperately that it wouldn't make much of a difference.&nbsp; She just needed to get out before Gideon broke her heart.&nbsp; That in itself was ridiculous.&nbsp; She'd just met Gideon that day!&nbsp; Why did his opinion of her matter that much?&nbsp; It made no sense.&nbsp; Sure, she was attracted to him, but he shouldn't be effecting her like this. Shoving one of her heels onto her foot, Angels movements are jerky as she tries to slip it on while still walking out.<br><br>Flinching as she finds Gideon blocking her path once more, instantly putting a stop to her escape; Angel can only clutch her remaining high heel to her chest as he speaks to her.&nbsp; "Your...your not lying to me." She whispers softly; her blue eyes looking into his for the first time since he'd questioned her over her curse.&nbsp; "You really mean that." Tears well up in the brunettes eyes for a second time, only this time around, it was out of joy.&nbsp; Quickly wiping her eyes with her free hand, a crooked smile spreads across Angels features.&nbsp; "You really mean that." she repeats, more to herself than to him.&nbsp; "But..why? Why would you be alright with something like that? Aren't you freaked out?&nbsp; I mean...this means its impossible to lie to me Gideon...do you understand what that means? Why aren't you disgusted by this?"<br><br>------------------<br><br>A purely masculine smile finds its way on Maddox's finely chiseled features as the nymph begins to wash his chest.&nbsp; His tense muscles begin to relax; and releases a long breath of air. "You are good at this." he whispers into her ear as he begins to rinse out her hair, taking special care to leave her without a single tangle.&nbsp; He liked feeling her body against, and at her continued touches, he felt himself beginning to stir.<br><br>"I will have no need of any other woman." Maddox says with a chuckle before reaching forward and raising her chin.&nbsp; "Why would I have need of another woman when I have you?" he murmurs before pulling her face close for a deep kiss.&nbsp; He found her apology both humorous and enjoyable.&nbsp; He saw no need for her to act as such.&nbsp; But she need not act such a way, Maddox was finding himself quite enamored with the girl. And the fact that their was a visible flash of possessiveness to her over the idea of him being with others gave him the impression that the feelings were quite mutual.<br><br>Running his hands along her soaked body, Maddox pushes her legs apart; allowing her to feel his member pressed between her legs.&nbsp; Already he could feel himself wanting her for a second time.&nbsp; "Believe me little one, if anything, I wish you more bold." he teases as he slides a hand along the side of her breast.&nbsp; He had no intention of sharing this girl, not with anyone.

				"I..I don't understand." Angel confesses as he reveals his heart to her.&nbsp; So...Gideon hadn't merely said the occasional lie to her, he'd been doing it all this time? She hadn't realized that, he hadn't told her that.&nbsp; "But...why? Why do you have to lie? Why do you have to go through that?" she asks, her eyes scanning his face, as though that would answer her question.&nbsp; Strangely enough, she found her eyes constantly straying to the sight of his butterfly tattoo.&nbsp; She hadn't payed much attention to it while they'd been having sex...but now...every time it was just at the edge of her vision; she would almost think it was moving.<br><br>Reaching forward as he closes his eyes and his voice cracking slightly, Angel caresses his cheeks.&nbsp; "We couldn't be more different." She murmurs to him as her fingers trace against either side of his face. He lied, she told the truth..."And I couldn't imagine leaving you now." She understood how impossible the suffering was.&nbsp; To not be able to say what you liked, to constantly have to be careful with your words that what you finally wound up saying barely made sense to the people around you.&nbsp; <br><br>------------<br><br>"I know of the way of the siren." Maddox teases lightly.&nbsp; He also knew sirens to be born, they were not a position or job one was given. He did not know what she was talking about when she spoke of others having doubts of her abilities.&nbsp; If the siren blood ran within her, than most would simply shrug off her behavior and expect her to grow out of it.&nbsp; "I have no need for you to act like the cliched siren, your bed manner is wonderful enough.&nbsp; I wouldn't have you alluring others to your bedside." he murmurs against her before letting out a low groan as she spreads her legs, allowing him more access into her core.<br><br>"I need much from you Alexia." He purrs into her ear as his hands begin to rise up, caressing her breasts; feeling their soaky smoothness under his hands with a boyish delight.&nbsp; She was the perfect size, not to big, not to small; they fit into his hands perfectly.&nbsp; Tweaking her nipples, he kisses at her neck before his eyes sharpen.&nbsp; She was caressing the tattoo again.<br><br>"A warning beauty.&nbsp; You do not want to befriend violence. You do not want the attention of a demon on you, of a beast.&nbsp; You would never survive such a thing." his voice growls out, his tone leaving visions of pain and suffering in their wake.&nbsp; She knew not what fire she played with.&nbsp; "Do not ask for it to like you, merely pray that it ignores you completely."

				Smiling at him, her eyes crinkle with mirth as he talks about how opposites attract.&nbsp; She supposed it was true.&nbsp; She'd never really liked the kind of guy that seemed more intimidating and tough than anything else.&nbsp; But there was something about Gideon that made her look beyond the muscles and the piercings. There was something about him that melted her heart, and the fact that he was so accepting of her curse only endeared him more to her heart.<br><br>Hearing his story about him and his friends, Angel found herself having to sit down.&nbsp; Staring up at him from her spot on the edge of the bed, Angel drops her heel to the floor.&nbsp; The organization hadn't been lying.&nbsp; Gideon and his friends truly were demons...well, had demons in them at least.&nbsp; Staring at him with wide blue eyes; Angel tears her eyes away from him in order to take in the tattoo that she'd been noticing a little earlier.&nbsp; His sweatpants still covered most of it, and on shaky legs, Angel rises before pulling down enough of his pants to take in the sight of the full tattoo.&nbsp; "Your telling the truth.&nbsp; Totally and completely." she murmurs with wide eyes." <br><br>"So..the demon inside of you makes you lie?" she asks; hesitant fingers reaching forward and tracing against the butterfly attached to his skin.&nbsp; It was hard to believe that someone as wonderful as Gideon had a demon inside of him.<br><br>----------------<br><br>"You don't seem to understand." Maddox sighs as he slowly releases his harsh hold on her.&nbsp; He'd told this woman before that his demon was not some tamable plaything.&nbsp; But she continued to tempt it, not realizing that she was all but baiting it to come to surface.&nbsp; And he couldn't allow that to happen.&nbsp; He had no doubt that violence released would hurt her, and Maddox couldn't have that.&nbsp; The very idea of Alexia being harmed drew fury into his very soul, and the thought that he himself might be the one to harm her....he'd rip out the heart from his chest before he allowed that.<br><br>"Just...just don't talk of my demon again, not in such a manner." The proud man all but pleads with her, kissing her forehead softly.&nbsp; "Come, the water is cooling, I must dry you." he says as he rises from the tub, pulling her up with him.&nbsp; Leaving her in the tub by herself for a moment, Maddox steps out before grabbing a fluffy white towel. "Come." He requests as he opens the towel for her to walk into, planning on rubbing her down and drying her.&nbsp; "Are you hungry?" he asks softly, focused completely on the girls needs now that the danger of his beast emerging had faded. <br><br>Water dripping from his form down to the marble floor beneath them, the figure that Maddox presented seemed an extreme difference from what he had shown moments ago.&nbsp; Truth was, he didn't...he didn't want her to see his true self.&nbsp; Didn't want Alexia to see the vicious and violent monster he could truly be.

				"Pain?" Angel repeats with wide eyes, concern flooding through her.&nbsp; He had to experience physical pain whenever he failed to lie? What if he messed up once, and told the truth without thinking about it? What kind of suffering would he be forced to go through? All that pain, along with the emotional struggles of knowing he could never say how he truly felt about anything....sympathy welled up inside of Angel, and refused to leave.&nbsp; He was able to joke about it, but Angel wished there was some way she could help him.<br><br>Gasping as he suddenly grabs her hand in a fierce hold, Angel stares at him as he explains why she could not touch his tattoo.&nbsp; "I understand." she agrees with a slow nod.&nbsp; There was really a demon within him, a demon that gave him no choice but to lie, well, that or deal with the consequences.&nbsp; "But I really don't think you'd ever hurt me."&nbsp; <br><br>Personally, hidden behind her agreement, was a certain amount of appreciation for the demon.&nbsp; If Gideon didn't have to lie, than he would be a normal man.&nbsp; And if he was normal, he probably wouldn't be able to accept her so well, wouldn't be able to relate to her, might not even like her.&nbsp; Somehow, Angel felt that this sentiment would be lost on Gideon, and that it was a secret best kept with herself.<br><br>-----------<br><br>Wrapping Alexia up in the towel, he rubs at her skin, getting rid of the water and trying to warm her body as well as he could, trying to stop the cold from raising goosebumps against her skin.&nbsp; "I will need to get you clothes." He murmurs, more to himself than to her as he lead her out of the bathroom, making sure to empty the tub first.&nbsp; He liked her in his clothes, liked knowing that his essence enveloped her, but he knew that she would need a few outfits of her own as well.<br><br>Giving her a set of his clothes, He walks over to the door before turning for a moment.&nbsp; "Wait here, I will bring you a meal." He promises before exiting his room, closing the door behind him.&nbsp; He considered locking the door for a moment, but in an out of character form; he decides to trust the lithe woman resting in his room.<br><br>Walking down to the kitchen, Maddox found that he had no idea what she liked.&nbsp; So, he did the next best thing.&nbsp; He grabbed a little bit of everything.&nbsp; Taking a plate, he adds vegetables, cheeses, and some meats to the plate; in the end the meal he had set out to make her had turned into an overloaded sample platter, with not a single inch of the plate visible underneath the pile of food.&nbsp; Grabbing a random drink from the fridge; he gives his choices a once over before trekking back up to his womans side.<br><br>"You must tell me what you like to eat." he declares to her as he enters the room once more, setting the food before her.&nbsp; "I can find you something else if this does not please you." he promises; a furrow to his brow, finding himself surprisingly worried over whether or not she would be happy with what he had brought.&nbsp; It had been far too long since he'd been in the extended company of a female like this, he was not sure how to handle himself properly.&nbsp;

He figured that if she was going to make any kind of commitment towards him, she would have to know exactly what it is that she would be dealing with. He didn't want to have a woman get into a relationship with him, and be in the dark about the kind of man that he was.

Or, at least, tell the truth as best as he could in his situation.<br><br>"You do not need to think hard and carefully about this if you are going to make the decision of not staying with me," he told her.

				"Very often and all the time," Gideon answered as he looked at Angel. Settling down again, he gathered her into his arms, making sure that he was touching her at all times. She felt right when she was in his arms and that was something that he absolutely could not deny to himself. He was glad that she had chosen to stay with him, because as it were, after their time in bed together, he wasn't sure that he could let her go. That decision was made due to the fact that he felt something for the woman that he had not felt for anyone during his long life.<br><br>For the first time as well, in his very long life, Gideon was contemplating something that he had never done before. He was considering actually settling down and having a family with this woman. He wasn't sure what she would think of the idea, but he did know that at her age, he was guessing it was a woman's wish for them to settle down and perhaps have a family. That is when thoughts started to come to his mind about if he would be capable of doing that. While his curse wasn't a threat physically to those around him unless under the right conditions, Gideon could predict that having a father that constantly lied to you simply could not be healthy for any offspring that he could have.<br><br>"I do not want to know about your past," he told her, a smile on his face. "I do not want to know how you grew up, about your family, where you came from, and how you came to be the woman that you are," he told her. "I don't want to learn every little detail about you," he explained. Smiling, he resettled her in his arms, watching around the room. He would have to go into town with Paris to get her things that she would need to stay there comfortably. However, he figured that if they could do it for their own survival, he could do it for a female that made him happy.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Alexianna laughed happily at Maddox's concern for her. She reached over and tenderly stroked his cheek. "You know," she said softly, a small, almost imperceptible sad tinge to her voice as she spoke, "I could get used to having someone pay so much attention and care for me as you are doing right now," she said softly. She snuggled against his chest happily, wanting to be as close to him as she could possibly get. It was safe to say that she felt very safe when she was around him, and being that she hadn't had much experience with said feeling in her life, she wanted to take in as much as it as humanly possible.<br><br>She was about to say something when there was a knock at the door to Maddox's chambers. Frowning lightly, she looked up at him. "You have not spoken to your friends about my being here, have you?" she asked softly, watching him. She was dreading having to face them. She didn't want them to judge her as everyone else had judged her. She knew that she possessed abilities having to do with her Siren nature, so the more that she stayed away from other men, given how possessive she figured Maddox to be, it would be better. Also, she did not want to risk the chance of causing a rift between Maddox and his friends, the ones that had been there for him since the beginning of time, she guessed.<br><br>Another knock came from the other side of the door, jarring Alexia out of her thoughts. Sighing softly, she made sure that her body was covered as she pressed herself closer to Maddox's side, as if trying to hide herself from whoever was on the other side. She knew that this encounter could either make or break her staying here under Maddox's protection.<br><br>"Maddox?" Lucien's harsh voice called from the other side of the door. "I know you are in there, and we need to talk. Now." The Keeper of Death did not sound none to happy, and Alexia could guess that he had been informed of her presence within the confines of their home. From the caution that Maddox had taken with her, she had guessed that others were not allowed here

				<br>"That's a relief." The young woman says with release of breath she hadn't known she'd been holding. She was glad to hear that he didn't often slip up, though she figured that considering the consequences, it was important for him to make sure that he'd never make such a careless mistake. Cuddling up against him as he gathers her into his arms, Angel closes her eyes and relaxes in his hold. She felt safe there, she felt right there. It was like...as long as he was touching her, everything was alright. Nothing could hurt her, nothing could go wrong...because she was with Gideon.<br><br>Of course, Angel's thoughts weren't nearly as long terms as Gideon's were. The woman was so caught up in the moment, that the future seemed an eternity away. All she could focus on, all she could think on, was the present, and the present felt pretty damn nice. She was wrapped in the arms of a man who seemed to immediately care for her, who understood her, and accepted her for who she was, and what she could do. In a single day, her life had gone from lonely and disappointing to...pretty damn wonderful.<br><br>Letting out a laugh as he urges her to tell him about herself, Angel opens her eyes to take in the sight of her new man, and grin up at him wryly. "Alright...but I have to warn you,my life's story is pretty dull compared to yours." she says with good mirth. "I already told you about my family, only child and all that...I told you about my job in San Fransisco..." she says with frustration, realizing that there wasn't much else to tell. She really didn't have any friends, and her parents didn't actually like to stay in touch with her... "Most people don't like spending time with someone that can hear through their lies...so I spend most of my time alone." she admits, finding a knot forming in her stomach at her admittance of such a thing. "My favorite food is pizza...there's something new for you to know." she jokes, trying to listen the somber impact of her most recent confession. "And my favorite color is purple...though blue is quickly replacing that." she says while reaching up to tug on a lock of the man's blue hair teasingly.<br><br>-----------------<br><br>"That is good, because it is something you will be getting used to regardless." He says, his tone almost tense as he takes in the sad tone in her voice. It was a crime that this woman would be deprived of such devotion. A crime that no one had bothered to watch out for her and take care of her in the way that she so clearly deserved. Though on the other hand, he supposed it was for the best. He was not one to tolerate any kind of competition. And any person, male or female, who would have treated Alexia in such a way would have clearly been competition. He would have had to steal her away from someone who cared for her. He wouldn't have had a problem with doing so, but it might have upset Alexia.<br><br>Frowning as he hears a knock at the door; Maddox narrows his eyes dangerously before tersely answering Alexia's question. "No. But it shall make no difference." he declares before untangling himself from her, setting her carefully on the bed and allowing her to wrap herself up in blankets; thus covering her naked form. Violence was already roaring over being disturbed at such a tender moment, whoever was on the other side of that door had better have a damned good reason for doing so; else there truly would be hell to pay.<br><br>"Stay here." he orders Alexia before stomping over to the door, cracking it open for one small instance to see who it was, and then walking out of his room and slamming the door behind him once he had. "Talk? About what?" the lord of violence demands darkly; more than ready to battle for his right to keep Alexia. Lucian would not talk him out of protecting her. She would not be leaving his side now that he had promised her his roof and his protection. He had little doubt that Lucian had heard of the woman with him; he had taken note of Paris and another of his women down in the main area when he had been carrying Alexia to his room. Word must have gotten to Lucian, but Maddox had no care.

				"We're going to talk about the woman that you have in your room. Not the one that Paris brought home but, the one that you somehow managed to get into your bed..." Lucien said dryly. "I'm sure you remember her, don't you?" he asked. Pushing the door open, he stood in the doorway, his massive frame seeming to dwarf the doorway. "You know we have rules," Lucien told him, as he glanced back from Maddox to Alexia and then back to Maddox again. "You know you are not allowed to bring her in here. What if she's Bait?" Lucien demanded. "Did you ever stop to think about that before you marched her in here and bedded her?" he asked. "You could be putting all of our lives in danger right now with her very presence." Lucien did not sound any happy with the fact that someone that he trusted to know better had brought a woman here who, in his opinion, had no place to be here.<br><br>Alexia looked at the man that had just entered the room. She was wrapped up in the comforter and sheets that were on Maddox's bed, so she wasn't worried about her nakedness making itself known. "I beg your pardon," Alexia said, looking at Lucien. "But Maddox saved me from what would have been my death," she explained, not realizing that she was talking to Death himself. "I owe him my life, and I am very grateful that he has done all he has for me in this little time that we have known each other," she explained. "I can assure you that I am not this...Bait that you speak of," she told him. "I mean you and your friends no harm," she told him. "I even offered to earn my keep here," she told him. "I have no desire to see anything bad befall the man that has saved my life," she told him, sneaking a glance at Maddox. She didn't know if she was helping or hurting Maddox's case here, but to her, it seemed as if the new man that had come into the room did not seem to have his facts straight. That was something that Alexia could not let go without rectifying.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Gideon was about to say something, the smile that had been on his face, getting wider with every word that she spoke. As she told him about her life and what she had done in her childhood, he couldn't help but realize that the fact that she was indeed perfect cemented itself onto his brain like a hot brand. The one thing that had bothered him was when she had said that she was not used to being around people. He was used to that, in his own way. His friends often ignored his presence and everything that came out of his mouth, due to the fact that it was all lies. In a way, he couldnt' blame them, but it would have been nice to be able to be around someone who understood what was happening and heard what he was really saying, instead of all the lies that continued to plague him. "I can sympathize," he told her. "My friends do really seem to want to have me around, other than in battle," he explained. "They hardly listen to what comes out of my mouth, even though they haven't figured out after all these years how to decode my lies," he told her. "It is very easy to want to be around someone who always tells you lies, no matter what you ask," he said, a twinge of sadness creeping into his voice as he spoke.<br><br>He leaned his face down, intent on kissing her lips again, but fate seemed to be conspiring against him. There was a knock that came from the other side of the door to his bedroom. Groaning softly, he looked up. "That has to be good," he muttered to himself.<br><br>"I know you're in there Lies," Sabin's thick, raspy voice called out from the other side of the door.<br><br>Gideon groaned to himself as he knew what it was that Sabin had come to talk to him about. "I just spoke to Paris, and the funny thing is, he brought a woman home, and now he can't find her," Sabin said, his voice hard to read at the moment. "He, however, has the idea that said woman is with you. Mentioned something about the female having a morbid fascination with you, or some shit like that," he said. "Which means, you have ten seconds to get your ass out of your bed, and open this door," Sabin threatened.<br><br>"Oh fuck me now," Gideon muttered. Groaning once more, he looked at Angel, and signaled for her to stay put as he threw the covers over her. "What the hell do not you want?" Gideon snarled, placing himself between Sabin and the entrance to the door.<br><br>"I just wanted to make sure that there really was a woman in here with you," Sabin said in that cocky voice that he was known for. "Oh, and to tell you that you need to get rid of her," he added smoothly at the end. "I know that I don't need to rattle off all the consequences of having her here, now do I?" he said, getting up eye to eye with Gideon.

				<br>Running a hand through his hair as he begins talking about his own loneliness, Angel gives Gideon a tender smile. She had never thought for a moment that this was what she would find in Budapest. “Well your not alone anymore. Neither of us is.” Angel murmurs softly, tilting her head slightly in anticipation of Gideon’s kiss.<br><br>Then the door knocks. And Angel finds herself feeling just as frustrated as Gideon. She didn’t know what the interruption was, but it had better be good! Though at the same time, she was curious about seeing who was on the other side. Gideon had spoken of having several brothers, and Angel found herself wondering if this was one of them.<br><br>It appeared as though the man on the other side wasn’t quite as excited to meet her however. Wrapping herself up in the sheets tightly, Angel shifts herself upwards to get a better look at Sabin.<br><br>He wanted her to leave? A wave of panic wraps itself around Angel tighter than the sheets. She’d just met Gideon! The first person who accepted her completely! She didn’t want to be separated from him! Not this quickly!<br><br>Although, in truth, there was a large part of her that didn’t appreciate Sabin’s attitude. The way he referred to Gideon as lies was bad enough, but the cocky way he talked about Gideon ‘actually’ having a woman in his room, as though such a thing was impossible…well, nice wasn’t exactly the word that came into mind.<br><br>“Excuse me…” She begins, slipping out of the bed, making sure that the sheets were fully wrapped around her and peeks over Gideons shoulder to get a look at Sabin. “I don’t know what consequences your talking about, but I promise, I’ll stay out of the way…I just…” How was she supposed to say that she wanted to stay with Gideon? That after one day, she’d felt happier than she ever had in her entire life?<br>------------------------------<br><br>“I don’t care about the rules.” Maddox all but snarls at his old friend as Lucian pushes past him. “This girl isn’t human. She’s a siren. She isn’t bait.” Maddox continues gruffly, pushing Alexia back slightly and standing firmly in front of her; not allowing Lucian to get a good look at the woman who was covered only by his sheets.<br><br>“I swore her my protection.” He all but growls to Lucian. “She will not be leaving here.” Maddox continues, glancing back at Alexia to silence her.<br><br>“She could be lying. How do you know otherwise?” Lucian demands as he takes a careful look at the young woman who was all but completely hidden behind Maddox. He couldn't even discover what he hair color was, let alone how attractive she was, before Maddox had slammed his palms into his chest, effectively thrusting him backwards, causing him to stumble back a step or two.<br><br>“The others won’t like this. Gideon’s trying the same thing you are. Have you both gone insane?” Lucian questions; not angry, merely cautious around his overly violent friend. "Are you really willing to risk everything, just for a woman?" He continues, trying to knock some sense into his friend.<br><br>For a period of time, Maddox is silent. It was true, what Lucian said. He was risking much for Alexia. But he felt that doing anything less would be....wrong. "Leave." He orders his friend, his voice coming out horse.<br><br>Taking a final look at the pair, Lucian does as Maddox demands giving a knowing stare at Maddox last; allowing him to understand that the discussion was far from over.<br><br>Whirling around, Maddox stares down at Alexia with flaming eyes. "You mustn't allow any other men to see you like this." He growls out, his voice coming out low as he grips her shoulders tightly; looking as though he might throw her across the room, or have his way with her once more. It was hard to tell with Maddox.<br>

				"I was not talking to you," Sabin said coldly as he looked at Angel. How dare the woman speak when not spoken to? It was bad enough that she had come in here, without anyone's permission and seduced one of his men. She was not even supposed to be within a ten mile radius of the fortress. Sabin was convinced that she was no ordinary human, and had used some sort of charm to get her way here into their living spaces. The fact that she had come here with Paris meant nothing to him, as that could have just easily been a plan of decoy.<br><br>"You do not belong here and I want you to leave," Sabin told her, his tone leaving absolutely no room for any arguments from her at least. "If you don't leave, you run the risk of being killed, if not by me, but the rest of the men that live in here. They don't take well to people being here that shouldn't be here...So take what I'm telling you and just do what's good for you and just leave..."<br><br>"You can make her leave," Gideon said, warning in his tone. Sabin's brown eyes flashed dangerously as he looked at his comrade.<br><br>"What did you say?" Sabin asked, his eyes narrowing as he spoke.<br><br>"You heard me," he said. This response caused Sabin to get into Gideon's face, so that they were practically nose to nose. After staring down the other man for a moment, he backed off, and stalked out the door, slamming it behind him.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>"You barely gave me time to get dressed before you let him in," Alexia said, a small crease coming to her forehead which showed her blatant displeasure for what was going on right now between them. "I was properly covered by the sheets," she said, glancing down at her silk-wrapped figure. "Did you find my appearance to be unsatisfactory?" she asked quietly.<br><br>Turning to look at him, she waited expectantly for his answer. She knew that she would have to make sure not to get on his bad side, but she didn't like the fact that she was being subjected to a bit of anger from him, based on something that she didn't really do. "I really do appreciate you taking the chance and trying to get him to let me stay," she said. "It really does mean a lot to me..." That was the truth coming from her. She really hadn't had many people who had taken care of her before, and more or less one that had purposely gone out of his way to do that.<br><br>"What I really don't understand is why," she asked softly. "What is it that makes me so special that you would put your life and the life of your friends in such danger to take care of me?" The frown on her beautiful features was evident as she spoke to him. She couldn't really believe that she was doing this. Part of her wanted to just shut up and take what came at her, in whatever form of kindness from Maddox that would be, but another part of her wanted to know what his true motives were for doing what it was that he was doing

				<br>Flinching at the coldness of both Sabin’s eyes and his words, Angel tries hard to stand her ground. Being with Gideon felt like a miracle, and she didn’t want to be forced to leave. If Gideon wanted her to stay, then she would; and that was all there was to it.<br><br>She wouldn’t let this man scare her out of the house.<br><br>Gideon was the first man, the first person, who accepted her for what she was; for what she could do. She felt as though she had found a kindred spirit upon meeting him. And no person , no organization, was going to intimidate her into leaving him. Not threats of death, or whispers of demons.<br><br>The moment the door closed; Angel lets out a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry.” She says softly. “I’ve gotten one of your friends mad at you.” Lowering her eyes; the wave of doubt can’t help but roll over her.<br>“Maybe he’s right. Maybe I should go.” Angel says as she wraps her arms around herself. She didn’t want to leave, she felt more right when she was with Gideon than she ever had in her entire life but… “I don’t want to cause any trouble.”<br><br>------------------------------<br><br>“No.” Maddox grunts out as he sits at the edge of the bed. Her figure was far from unsatisfactory. “You are very beautiful.” He says softly as he pulls her to him. “I just do not want anyone else to see.” He explains with a scowl. He was strangely possessive of this girl; and he had yet to figure out why.<br><br>“I do not know.” Maddox confesses with a furrowed brow. Why was he so determined to keep Alexia where she was, with him, where she belonged? He was risking a lot by doing so, far more than he would normally. It was foolish; and he was certain that if he did not take precautions, his friends would get rid of her while Maddox was trapped in hell.<br><br>“Pity perhaps.” He muses, more to himself than her. “Or maybe I have finally gone mad; and decided to spite the gods.” He says with a smirk. “There is no better way to do that, then to give aid to one they are hunting.” He murmurs as he takes in the scent; the feel of her calming him down.

				<br>"You will," Gideon said, his voice low as he spoke. Reaching out with one hand, he placed it firmly on her arm, keeping her in place so she could not leave. "I did not tell you before but I will let you leave," he said. "It is an option for you right now. I did not tell you of this before we got into bed together," he explained. "I did not mean every single word that I said," he told her, his blue eyes locking onto hers.<br><br>"You will not make yourself comfortable in this mansion and I will not provide everything that you need to begin your new life here," he told her. "Tommorrow, I will not take you back to your hotel so you can get your things and bring them back here. However, you will be allowed to make contact with whoever your human associates are," he said. Pushing her back to sit on the bed, he regarded her with a calm, cool silence as he tried to get his mind and his thoughts in order.<br><br>He truly did not believe that she could do anything wrong, or that she would hurt him and his friends. He figured that if she was going to hurt him, she would have done so already while they were in bed. That would make the most sense since he was at his most vulnerable while making love to her. Cupping her cheek in his hand he turned her face to look at his. "Don't listen to me," he said softly. "I don't want to let you go, and I intend on doing so. I am not going to keep you with me here for the rest of our lives, and I won't make you as happy as I possibly can," he told her.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>"So...you are doing this to get back at the Gods," Alexia asked, with a bit of disbelief in her voice. She tried hard to give this man the benefit of the doubt, but from what he had just said, it sounded a great deal like she was being used here. Not that she really had any case against him because she was, after all, in his debt. Still, she had wanted to believe that someone had chosen her because they saw the real true beauty that she could possess rather than some other ulterior motive that looked past all the qualities that she had to offer.<br><br>"And what about when you tire of this game you are playing and decide that rebelling against the gods is not something that you want to part-take in anymore? Is it then that you will happily turn me in to them, or would you rather kill me yourself?" she asked, trying to keep any sort of emotion out of her voice. She didn't want him to know that his words had such an effect on her that she could barely contain her emotions. "I just...I don't know what to think right now," she said softly.<br><br>Her mind was a blur and she knew that she had lots of things to think about. The one time that she had lowered her guard and trusted someone out on a whim, she was sure that she was going to pay for it later. She had been so sure that Maddox would not turn on her, but now he was saying something else, and that made her mind wander into places and thoughts that she tried to avoid at all costs. "Please...I just want to know what your intentions are," she said softly.

				<br>As Gideon began his detailed explanation over why she would be staying with him. “I guess that’s true.” She says with a small smile as he begins to remind her that they had already had this conversation. That he wouldn’t let her leave. The grip he had on her arm was fierce, and it almost hurt, but it was a good hurt. A hurt that told her that he was terrified she would leave him. That he felt the need to hold on so tightly, in order to keep her from disappearing.<br><br>“Your far too good to me.” Angel says with a sigh and a shake of her head. “I feel like I got the luckiest break in the world.” She says with a laugh. To think, and this had all started because she’d met Paris in a bar, and had been taken up to the mansion in order to have sex again.<br><br>Of course, as he mentioned her associates, Angel was forced to remember that it hadn’t started with Paris. It had started with the organization, who had ordered her to infiltrate this very mansion. “I don’t even know what I’m going to tell them.” She groans; trying to imagine how her employers would react to her vocalizing the fact that she had found the perfect man, and she was now going to spend the rest of her life with him.<br><br>She is quickly distracted from these thoughts however, as Gideon cups her face in his oversized palm. And as she listened to his words of devotion, tears began to fall down Angel’s face. “I…I don’t know what to say.” She murmurs softly. No one had ever wanted to spend their lives with her before. “Your amazing Gideon.” She says, breathing his name like a prayer.<br><br>--------------<br><br>“Who has said that you are a game?” Maddox replies with a furrowed brow. He was not Paris, he was not good at seducing women with soft words. Even if he wanted to, he wasn’t sure how. Most of the women whom he’d slept with for the past hundred years or so had been Paris’s toss aways, all they had been after was a good lay; and so was he.<br><br>He had never had to worry about harming the feelings of a woman before, at least, not for the last thousand years or so. This left him off guard, that she cared so much about what he said, that she took it to heart; and that when he said something wrong, it hurt me. “I do not plan on killing you, or turning you over to Hera.” He says with a frown. “I swore that I would protect you.” He reminds with a furrowed brow.<br><br>“I plan on doing just that. No one, nothing, will stop me from keeping you safe.” Not even her, if it came to that. She would not be leaving the mansion; not by the order of Lucian, or anyone else for that matter. If she wanted to leave; than he would have no choice but to stop her.<br><br>“My intentions are to keep you safe.” He says carefully as his large hand wraps itself around her wrist; raising her hand so that he could kiss the inside of her palm. “To keep you happy, and warm, and fed.” He murmurs against her skin.

				"You do not tell them the truth," Gideon says, looking at her inquisitively. "That's not all they can ask you to do. Being honest is something that you should never do," he said. "If they understand, that's their problem," he explained in the bluntest tone that he could manage. His blue eyes narrowed at her and it was if he was trying to figure out all her secrets, what she was so afraid of. "Are they not going to hurt you?" he asked, watching her, his eyes filling with fury, because if they are, I swear that I will not kill them for not trying to harm you," he promised, his voice full of conviction and deadly intent as he spoke to her, despite the lies that spewed from his mouth.<br><br>"You do not understand," he said softly, "that if you do not want a life with me, then it is going to take work on both of our parts," he told her. "I am not used to people ignoring me and doubting me," he told her. "My demon is not the best company that I have been living with for centuries," he said. "I believe that I am not the only one of my friends that doesn't like their demon," he explained. "My demon, is very active, and makes a point of letting it's presence not be known when I speak to people," he told her. "I cannot sense the lies of others," he said. "I cannot tell from the first word out of their mouth if they are lying or not," he said. "However, as you know, I myself can tell the truth without any consequences..."<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"And obviously loved," she said softly, gesturing to how it was the the two of them were positioned right now. She fit snugly into his warm embrace and couldn't help but feel like for the first time in a long time, everything was right in her world. "You would be considered my consort, except for one thing," she said softly. She let that hang off at the end, not wanting to admit that the one thing that was missing from truly making him her consort was the fact that he did not seem to love her. But, she realized quietly, they had just met merely a few hours ago. She did not expect him to claim love towards her so soon, if at all. For some reason, Alexia thought that it would be the latter.<br><br>Pushing those thoughts from her head, because they were starting to depress her, she decided to change the topic of conversation. "What do you do when you are not busy protecting young damnsels in distress?" she asked softly, looking up at him through half-lidded eyes. She gave him a sweet smile, her fingers delicately stroking across his jaw, in a manner that suggested that she was trying to familiarize herself with his body. She supposed that would not have been a bad thing, and she knew that she would be spending a lot of time with him together like this, so she certainly couldn't say that what she was doing was unproductive either, she reasoned to herself. That was also the reasoning behind the questions. She knew that if she was going to be spending so much time around him from now on, she should at least be trying to find out somewhat about his life.

				<br>Angel fidgeted underneath Gideon’s eyes and his firm words. Be honest. That was easy enough for him to say! Already images of her employers were running around through her head. While they hadn’t exactly threatened her or something…something about the way they looked at her, and the way they had spoken..it had left an impression on her; that much was certain. If she hadn’t needed the money, she would have turned down the job. Beyond everything else, the organization….it was a little intimidating. “No Gideon, of course they wouldn’t hurt me.” Angel insists; lying to keep both her employers safe, and to ease Gideon’s sudden fury at the thought of her being harmed.<br><br>“I understand that Gideon. And I will never ignore you or doubt you. I promise.” Angel says with a small smile. She wanted this thing that they had to work. She wanted to stay with him, to be with him; to grow old with him. She knew that in order to achieve that, it would take work on both their parts. To hear that his demon was his closest companion over the years saddened her however. Gideon was such an amazing person; he deserved more than just that. She was glad he was happy though. That was all that mattered. “Tell you what, you always lie; and I’ll try to always tell the truth.” She says; crinkling her nose teasingly at him. “We’ll make a good team that way.” She jokes.<br><br>-------------<br>“You would not want me as a consort sweetling.” Maddox murmurs huskily as he trails his fingers along Alexia’s side lazily. “If anything, that thought should cause you nothing but fear.” Violence would eat any woman he kept for a long period of time alive. The smallest of things could enrage his demon. Not many women could survive violence; and a part of him was fearful for Alexia. Violence hadn’t broken out yet. But that didn’t mean that it wouldn’t in the future.<br><br>Glaring out into space, Maddox holds Alexia just a little bit tighter to him at that thought.<br>“What do I do?” he asks, repeating her question with a frown. “I train.” He says gruffly as he glances around the room. Sure enough; in the Spartan area there were weights strewn about, punching bags; anything that might exhaust him to the point where he wouldn’t be able to act out in his occasional rages.

				A hiss escaped Gideon's mouth as Angel spoke. A hiss that was not his. It didn't even sound like his voice. He knew what the voice was, and why it was speaking to her. She had lied. Gideon's eyes narrowed at her, and his forehead creased into a light frown. He thought back over her words, trying to figure out where she had told the untruth. Finally figuring it out, his forehead creased into an even deeper frown. "Who are they not and why won't they hurt you?" he ground out, his voice a soft growl as he spoke to her. That was what she had been lying about. Whoever her associates were, they wouldn't be happy with her involvement with him, and that was not something that he could let happen.<br><br>Inside his head, the demon screeched at being lied to. While Gideon could not tell the truth, the demon could not stand being lied to. "I know you didn't lie to me, Angel," he told her calmly. "I do know if it was meant as a test or not, but whatever the reason, make no mistake that it is appreciated, especially after what you didn't just get done telling me about things," he explained to her. Folding his arms across his wide barrel of a chest, he looked down at her. "I do not strongly suggest that you start explaining yourself, and I do not wish to hear the truth," he told her, his eyes surveying her up and down.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>"That's the thing," Alexia explained. "It does not cause me fear," she told Maddox, her voice holding a bit of a matter of fact tone. "In fact, it does quite the opposite," she told him. "It makes me happy, giddy almost, the thought of finally having a man that I can belong to and who can belong to me. I have spent my entire life living lonely and wanting the company, the love of someone," she said. "So, I'm sure that you can see just how and why I am excited at becoming something more with you," he told her.<br><br>Turning to follow his gaze, she smiled at the sight of exercising equipment lying around his room. "It is more than obvious from your physical appearance that you spend a great deal of time training," she told him, eying his body appreciatively. She reached out again, tracing light circles up and down his back, and reaching to his shoulder, her fingertips barely moving across his tattoo as she went along with it. She remembered that he had warned her about touching it earlier, but she felt the need to prove to this man that he could be trusted around her and that she wouldn't be afraid of who or what he is.

				Angel didn't know what to expect when she lied to Gideon.&nbsp; She should have known it wouldn't have worked.&nbsp; Gideon had just finished telling her how he was able to sense when someone was lying to them; but she hadn't thought he would react so harshly.&nbsp; That hiss sounded positively...demonic.&nbsp; Raising her hands in the air defensively; her palms flat in front of her, Angel turns her eyes away from Gideon, finding herself unable to look him in the eye.&nbsp; "It's not that the WOULD hurt me." she insists nervously.&nbsp; The people just gave her a bad feeling.<br><br>"It's just...I've never worked for them before; and I'm not sure how they'd react to something like this.&nbsp; They didn't really feel like reasonable people when I met them." she explains with a sigh, running her hand through her hair.&nbsp; She couldn't tell Gideon that she'd actually been told to do research on him and his brothers; about the demons.&nbsp; He'd hate her for sure!&nbsp; And...she didn't think she could bare it.<br><br>"I'm sorry for lying to you Gideon." Angel finally says as she gains the courage to look him in the eye once more.&nbsp; She wanted to beg him not to be angry at her; instead she just waited, tensely, for his response.<br><br>----<br><br>"You are a fool woman." Maddox says with a sigh as he runs a hand over his face; trying to ease the tension that was there as Alexia begins to trace her fingers along his skin. This woman was going to be the death of him, he could just tell.&nbsp; The worst part was, a part of him didn't mind it so much.&nbsp; Now THAT was dangerous.<br><br>Growling lowly; Maddox has to make a conscious effort to pull himself away from the woman.&nbsp; He needed to pull back, else he fall too deeply into her.&nbsp; The things she spoke of, the belonging to each other; it was a nice dream.&nbsp; But it was just that.&nbsp; A dream.&nbsp; He couldn't get too emotionally attached to the siren, or else the hunters might think to use her against him.&nbsp; And they would, easily.&nbsp; <br><br>Just the thought of her being handled by his enemies had his body tensing with a barely controlled rage.&nbsp; "I'm going to take a shower." He says lowly before all but storming away from the sensual girl tangled in his bedsheets.&nbsp;

				"I didn't just get done telling you not to lie to me, and then you go and not lie to me," he told her, his voice still holding that harsh edge to it, but not the demonic quality that it possessed a few minutes ago.&nbsp; "Damnit, Angel!&nbsp; Why did you do as I asked?" he said, pounding his hands in frustration on the wall next to his massive body.&nbsp; "Was it really that easy to tell the truth?" he asked, his eyes narrowing at her.&nbsp; "How am I not supposed to believe anything that you say to me now?&nbsp; And after what we didn't just do in my bed?&nbsp; Were you not only looking for just a fun romp between the sheets?" he asked, his voice taking on a bit of an accusatory tone now.<br><br>He sighed and turned away from her, his hands braced on the wall in front of him.&nbsp; He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, knowing that his anger towards her and this situation wasn't going to get them anywhere right now.&nbsp; The lie had been told, and that was that.&nbsp; She would hopefully learn her lesson from now on with lying to him, now that she's seen just a glimpse of what happens when she does.&nbsp; He took another deep breath, his eyes closed, as he thought about the conversation that they just had.&nbsp; Obviously, whoever she worked for had instilled some sort of fear in her, that she felt the need to lie to protect them.&nbsp; he frowned as a thought crossed his mind.&nbsp; She was working for someone.&nbsp; Not someone, but some people.&nbsp; She had mentioned them in plural form.&nbsp; No, he thought to himself.&nbsp; She couldn't be.<br><br>Turning back to her, his eyes focused on hers.&nbsp; He was trying to read her carefully.&nbsp; He was going to ask her something, and he wanted to see that she was telling him the truth.&nbsp; He didn't want to believe that she was working for the Hunters, but with everything that she had just said, he couldn't really rule it out as a possibility.&nbsp; But then, that would mean that Sabin was right, damnit!&nbsp; He just couldn't get a break could he?&nbsp; "Who are you working for, sweet?" he asked, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible with his question, so that he wouldn't raise any of her suspicions.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Alexia felt like she had been slapped in the face when Maddox pulled away from her yet again, denying her his touch.&nbsp; She felt even more low when he physically removed himself from their, no, his bed and away from her presence.&nbsp; She sat there with a sigh, wondering if she was somehow broken as a Siren, that she couldn't even seduce one man, a man that seemed to be as into her as she was with him.&nbsp; It was times like these that made her really wonder if she had made the right choice in answering to the calling of a Siren.&nbsp; She was supposed to be skilled in making men fall under her beck and call, but yet this man refused to budge, and frankly, it was wreaking havoc on her ego.&nbsp; She desperately needed a boost, and so, she got out of bed, and slipped on one of Maddox's shirts, and her panties, nothing else.<br><br>Slipping out of the room, she looked around, finding no one.&nbsp; She sauntered carefully down the hallway and down the stairs, passing the living room that she had been in once before when she had arrived.&nbsp; Still no one.&nbsp; Interesting, she thought.&nbsp; For a fortress that was supposed to be overflowing with men, they certainly were sparse at the moment.&nbsp; She went into another door, and found herself in the kitchen, she assumed, since the first thing that she had spotted was a fridge near the door she had entered in through.&nbsp; Finally, she thought to herself as she spotted a man standing at the counter, pouring himself a glass of what looked to be rum.<br><br>"Well, hello," she said, her voice dropping down low as she turned on her charm.&nbsp; The man that was standing there, looked up, his brown and black hair falling to his shoulders.&nbsp; His pale blue eyes met hers, and instantly he could feel himself hardened.&nbsp; But then again, that was all part of Paris's charm.&nbsp; He could get hard for women, but only one time a piece, which meant that if he were to have this woman standing in front of him right now, he would never be able to have her again.<br><br>"Well, hello yourself," he purred.&nbsp; "Are you lost, sweetling?" he murmured, dropping the knife that he had been using to slice a tomato and advancing towards her, a slow, seductive, predatory grin on his face.

				"I...I'm sorry." Angel stammers out as she takes in the sight of Gideon's fury.&nbsp; She felt horrible already, and his reaction already made it worse.&nbsp; She had just been trying to calm him down! How was she supposed to know he would take it so harshly? Her instinct to lie had been automatic! What did he expect, that she confess her fears about her employers at the first sign of fear? She probably had nothing to worry about...sure, her employers had hired her to find out about the supposed demons that lived in this very building...but the fact that they were right had to be a coincidence....it just had to be.&nbsp; Angel was worried, and stressed, and guilty.&nbsp; This made denial so much easier for her to embrace. <br><br>"It's not that I don't want you to trust me Gideon-" Angel begins, only to flinch as he questions their union, claiming that it was nothing more than casual sex for her.&nbsp; That wasn't true! Sure, maybe it had been a purely sexual attraction in the begining...but now...Gideon accpeted her.&nbsp; And she liked him, could easily imagine building a life with him....or at least, she could.&nbsp; Now...now it seemed as though she had ruined that dream before it had even really begun to start.<br><br>"What's it matter" she says with a sniff as she sits at the edge of the bed, dismissing his question as she wraps her arms around herself.&nbsp; She'd already ruined everything.<br><br>----------<br><br>Maddox took his shower, and found himself to be extremely frustrated throughout it.<br><br>(NOT FINISHED YET!!)
