Page 43 of God Touched

"No! That was for other reasons," Imogen said quickly. Anger was etched into every line of her. "I don't know why you are so pissed. You were the one that fucked me and never came back!"

"I did. I was in the library upstairs because I didn't want to wake you," he snapped.

"How was I supposed to know? Argh. This is why I don't fuck people I like!" Imogen shouted at him.

"You…like me? I'm death. No one likes me," Arawan said slowly, his brain not processing her words.

"Yes, I like you! When you're not being a raging dick and driving me crazy," she replied. "And sometimes even then."

Arawan frowned. "And you were racing in here thinking I was getting attacked because you like me?"

"You want to rub it in a bit more? You really are the worst."

"Yes, I am. That's why I don't understand."

Imogen shrugged. "That's not my problem. I don't understand why the fuck you're hanging out in the realm of the living, but here you are—"

Arawan wrestled with himself and spat out, "I'm here to protect this world from Hafgan because you live in it! Is that what you need to hear? I'm here because ofyou.The woman who's fucked with me so much, all I've done is fret all day instead of planning the attack on my enemy tonight!"

"You have a lead on Hafgan? Good, I could use the exercise so I don't kick your ass for being a grumpy dickhead," Imogen asked, her moods swinging so quickly, it made Arawan dizzy. She hefted her ax. "Come on, let's go."

Arawan snatched the ax out of her hands and buried it into the door behind her. "You aren't going anywhere until we sort this out."

Imogen rose up on her tiptoes, so she could get in his face. "I don't have anything more to say to you."

"Good because I didn't plan on talking," he replied and pulled her into a violent kiss. Arawan gave her the space to pull away, but mercifully, she didn't. Imogen wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

Kissing Imogen made the stress of the day ease out of him and set him on fire at the same time. He was terrible with words, so he poured all his frustration and the fear she had run from him into the embrace. He had never thought much of kissing until he had found her lips, and now he couldn't get enough of them. Kissing her was a revelation.

After a few desperate moments, Imogen pulled back. "You can't just kiss me like that whenever I'm angry at you."

"Can't I?" Arawan teased softly. He rested his forehead against hers. "I'm sorry I made you think that I would use you for a fuck and nothing more. I really didn't want to wake you up."

"You should've done it anyway. I wanted you to come back, and you might not realize this, but wanting to see someone after I've fucked them is abigdeal for me."

Arawan's eyes narrowed. "Well, if that's true, they can't have fucked you very well."

"I guess not." Imogen's smile was lightning in his veins before she went serious again. "I'm sorry for taking off without saying anything, but I came back. I don't run away from a fight, and I promised I won't leave until my debt is paid. No matter what extra things happen between us, understood?"

"Understood." Arawan nipped at her lips, making her breath hitch.

Imogen raised a brow at him. "A-Aren't we meant to be attacking Hafgan's people tonight?"

"It can wait," he said, picking her up and carrying her over to his bed. "The whole fucking world can wait."

Imogen didn't need any other encouragement. She was already pulling off his shirt in between kisses.

Arawan straddled her and yanked her own shirt above her head. Her breasts looked so full and delicious in the pink lace that cupped them. Before he could suspect her, she wriggled further down so her head was between his thighs. She caught one of the laces of his pants between her teeth and pulled it loose.

"You want my cock that badly?" Arawan pulled himself free, and she stared at him with such heat that he almost came on her face.

"I want to show how filthy my mouth can be," Imogen said with a wicked grin and quickly licked the end of his cock.

Arawan hissed and gripped the bed head to steady himself. He brushed his cock over her full wet lips. "Go on then."

All of his confidence vanished the second she took him in her hot mouth. Fuck. Nothing should feel so good. His flower was more dangerous than he'd thought. She sucked him further down her throat, and he let out a shaky whimper. She pulled back slowly and swirled her tongue on his tip.

"Good?" she asked softly and licked some pre-cum off her swollen lips.
