Page 60 of Guarded By the Gargoyle

It was a demon with three heads—each uglier than the last. All three of them were making faces at me—and then the evil thing started trying to crawl through the portal!

I cursed softly—I wished I could have closed the portal right away, but Goldie had told me that would be impossible until after Kael and I made love and sealed our bond as Heartmates. Until then, it would remain open—a constant threat.

I’m proud to say I didn’t panic and I didn’t freeze. Quickly I went back to my Intention.

“I have opened a portal—aone wayportal that onlyoneperson can use. This portal is only for my lover—my guardian gargoyle, Kael,” I said firmly. “Anyone else who tries to use this portal will get shocked like they touched an electrical fence with thousands of volts running through it.”

As I spoke, I pictured the ugly, three-headed demon being fried on an electric fence. I went so far as to over-exaggerate it. I imagined him going stiff and turning black and white so that his skeleton stood out in stark relief—just like they showed electrocution in old cartoons.

And as I pictured this and spoke it, I manifested my will, just as Goldie had told me I could. The three-headed demon suddenly went stiff and shrieked in pain. I didn’t see its skeleton, but I didn’t need to. It screamed and begged until at last it managed to free itself from the portal and scamper off.

Problem finally solved, I turned back to the matter at hand. I still had to bring Kael back to his angelic form so that I could offer the sexual sacrifice I had promised to the three deities of love and lust I had called on.

“Kael,” I began…but then I stopped, the words dying on my lips.

Somehow the big gargoyle—and yes, he was still fully gargoyle—had gotten free of the leather cuffs. They hung empty, swinging from the bedposts on their silver rings.

Kael was now free and he clearly still wasn’t in his right mind.

KAEL

Idid not know the curvy little human who had called me. She seemed vaguely familiar but I had been trapped in my demonic form—trapped in The Pit—too long. An hour there is like a year and I had lost myself as I wandered the barren Hellscape. So I only knew that I felt drawn to her—that she called for me and I came.

My lust rose and my shaft hardened when she leaned down to lick my barb and stroked my shaft. The knot at the base of my cock was aching with desire to swell inside her. I knew what she needed—I could smell her lust perfuming the air. She wanted me to breed her—and I was more than willing.

But first I had to get her into the right position to skewer her on my cock and plant my seed in her belly…

WILLOW

“Oh no,” I whispered, looking up at my guardian gargoyle who was now free of the magical cuffs. “Oh please, no!”

How could this happen, I wondered? How could the cuffs just pop open? I must have done somethingwrong.

Suddenly, the other part of the mini-binding spell came back to me.

Prisoner of Love. Gentle as a Dove. Be still as can be. You are not free.

That’swhat I was supposed to say as I cuffed him up! Only I had left off the important second half of the mini-spell. And now I wasscrewed.

But I couldn’t give in to the fear—I had to keep my cool, I told myself. I had to carry on with the Sex Magic.

Don’t panic,I told myself.Just move slowly and get him refastened. Put the cuffs on again.

“Kael, hold still, all right?” I said in soft voice that trembled only a little. “Just hold still and let’s just get you fastened up…”

As I spoke, I reached for his right wrist, intending to cuff it to the bedpost again, but Kael wasn’t having it.

With a low growl, he reached for me and grabbed my wrist before I could get hold of his. He twisted my arm behind my back and dragged me close to him, his fiery eyes burning into mine.

“Kael, please!” I begged him breathlessly. “Please, this isn’t you! You don’t want to hurt me—you love me!”

But even if the angelic part of him loved me, it was clear that the demonic part that lusted for me was even stronger.

He used his free hand to tug the red roses off my nipples, leaving them bare. They were dark and puffy from where the roses had sucked them and Kael seemed to like that. He growled in appreciation as his eyes fastened on my bare breasts. Then his long, forked tongue flickered out and curled around one sensitive nipple, making me moan.
