Page 131 of Unbinding the Demon
As we laid there, our souls continued bleeding into one another. All of his emotions became mine, and mine his. We silently shared our sorrows and our joys, our deepest fears and most hidden desires. I could feel the incredibly overwhelming love he had for me, and never in my life had I felt so cherished. Tears of joy fell from my eyes from the incredible intensity of it all. It was the most intimate thing I had ever experienced.
Azathoth kissed the tears away with gentle care.“It’s true, I love and cherish you like nothing else, my bride,”his voice echoed in my mind.
Oh, snap... I forgot about that.
Stunned, I blinked a few times, staring up into the twinkling heavens. He’d told me already that we’d be forming a telepathic link and would be able to hear each other’s thoughts, but it still felt shocking and unexpected. It was definitely something I’d have to get used to.
His face lifted over mine, eclipsing my view of the moon with beaming endearment.“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it quicker than you think.”He grinned, then kissed the tip of my nose.
“Hey, get out of my head, you big creep!” I accosted with little strength, feeling drained from the sex. Then I giggled because I wasn’t really mad, nor did I think he was actually a creep.
“I know you’re not really mad, nor do you actually think I’m a creep,”he telepathically teased while nuzzling into the crook of my neck.“Go ahead, try it out. Read my mind.”
The surrounding flames died down as I narrowed my eyes at his smiling face. “Alright, I’ll try it. Here goes nothing.” I sucked in a deep breath and tried to concentrate on what he was thinking.
“I’m not nearly done fucking you yet. By the time the dawn arises over the eastern mountains, I will have fucked you in every position imaginable. You are going to be completely debilitated by the overwhelming pleasure, and not know where you end and I begin. First, I’m going to make you taste yourself, as I gag you with my cock while worshipping your sweet little cunt with my tongue...”A dopey smile stretched across my face as I continued to listen to his sexy thoughts, knowing full well he was completely serious about every last one.
His cock had already sprung back to life inside me, making me flush with want all over again. I caressed his once blemished shoulder, like the wind caressing the quivering willow leaves beside us. My breath caught in my chest as the reality of what we had just done began to sink in.
Holy cow! I’m immortal now, and we’re married! This evil demon is literally my husband for all eternity!
My husband...I treasured the thought as I stared up at him with effervescent love bubbling inside my heart.
“...Wildly thrusting and pounding into your dripping cunt.”Azathoth’s heated gaze softened, and his mind quieted down as he followed where my thoughts were going. “Yes, I’m your husband, and you’re my bride of evil,” he spoke out loud while caressing my temple. “And the depth of my love for you is endless, and my devotion is everlasting. You are my most beloved and treasured possession, my wife.” Butterflies fluttered in my stomach upon hearing him call me that.
His eyes glowed with love while he leaned down to lay a tender kiss upon me. A few happy tears slipped from my eyes as our lips eclipsed one another in amorous worship.
He broke the kiss with a smile. “I am yours, and you are mine.”
I danced my fingertips over his stubbly cheek, joy blooming in my heart. “For all eternity,” I whispered back.
I loved him and he loved me in return, and our souls now belonged to one another eternally. And that was vaster than the bejeweled heavens, and deeper than the darkest of oceans. It was more beautiful than all the emerald forests of the earth, and mightier than the tallest of mountains. Our love was true, radiant, and pure, and there were no riches that ever had a greater value than such a thing.
He pressed his sinful lips back to mine, while our glistening bodies writhed and entwined. Among the quivering buttercups and beneath the pale light of the moon and stars, we continued to make love all throughout the night as husband and wife.
And under the Beltane moon, we were wed.
Epilogue
Soft crepuscular rays glimmered through the wavering green leaves of the mighty ascended oak, the sacred keeper of ancestral knowledge. Beneath its enchanted boughs and beside the clear, winding stream stood two bright souls. Glittering butterflies and delicate fluttering petals danced on the breeze around them, while they peered into the calm, crystalline water that rested within the depths of the scrying well.
Lacey stepped away from the well and strolled over to the stream, where she dipped her dainty hand into the cooling water. Her fingertips trailed over the many colorful gemstones blanketing the bed of the sparkling rivulet. They glittered beneath the bright rays of the late afternoon sun as she playfully stirred them up. Her russet eyes glimmered with serenity, and her soul was at peace in the afterlife created by the summer fae.
The light gently kissed her cheeks, illuminating them with a warm, golden glow. A smile danced across her beautiful face, with her luscious raven ringlets tumbling down her back and slipping over her shoulder. She pulled a few of the vibrant jewels up to the surface, causing small shimmering droplets to drip back down upon the water’s flowing surface.
“I’m really going to miss you, you know,” she stated with a wistful smile as she walked back over to the well. Her newly acquired treasures rested in her palm, while her long, light green dress fluttered in the warm breeze behind her.
Elowynn smiled back with love, her fiery auburn locks catching the light like a flaming halo upon her crown. “I’ll miss you too, my dear.” Her emerald eyes glistened with unshed tears. “But my work is now complete, and I’m at peace with Gwendolyn’s future. The time has come for me to reincarnate.” The lush grass and colorful midsummer flowers swayed around them as she spoke.
Lacey peered back into the well, where an image of Gwendolyn and Azathoth cuddling on the stone bench by the lake came into view. Autumn leaves blazed around them, and the golden sun hung low on the horizon. “He’s going to take good care of her and be an amazing father to their future hellions.” She spoke as she watched, her eyes shining with love. “But I can’t leave just yet. Darrell’s fate is yet to come, and I plan to watch until he’s at peace. I want to see his joy when he receives whatever the stars have in store for him.” A sly smirk danced upon her full lips, and her small, soft laugh rang through the air like a crystal chime. She may not have seen the path ahead, but she believed in him. Greatness was written in his stars, just waiting for him to claim it.
Elowynn took Lacey’s hands in hers with a warm smile. “Perhaps we’ll see each other in another lifetime, then.” She squeezed her hands.
“I hope so,” Lacey responded softly. She squeezed her eyes shut as the two women embraced in a loving yet sorrowful hug.
Emerald green and russet brown eyes gazed back into the well, where they watched together one final time...
“Haha! Remember this one? That time that mob of angry monkeys ambushed you?” Gwendolyn held up her phone, showing Azathoth a comical image of himself stumbling over while being attacked by a barrel of rhesus macaques. He was dramatically feigning defeat with flailing arms, and the monkeys looked downright pissed.
