A/N: I hope you all enjoy it!
Lilith's Pov:
"Do you have to go?", Noah asked between kisses she leaves going higher and higher up my naked back.
I sighed enjoying the tingles that came with her skin on mine. I wanted to tell her no, and stay in the bed with her.
But this wasn't about what I wanted. It was about what I need to do, so I said, "Yes"
"So, there's nothing I can do to keep you all to myself?", She spoke the words with a low growl as her hands trailed up my stomach reaching for my breasts.
I couldn't help but tease her as I arched my back a little and spoke in a sultry tone, "Well doesn't that sound possessive."
Noah's fingers circled my nipples before pinching them as she breathed out against my neck, "And you like it, so stay"
Again I was tempted to stay so I closed my eyes, imagining what could happen if I wasn't there when Alexis needed me the most. I lifted my hands up to remove her hands from my body slowly, almost unwillingly.
I spoke honestly as I turned to face her beautiful face, "It's life or death, I need to go."
Noah's green eyes filled with concern as she asked, "What is it, life or death?"
I lifted my hands up to cup her face, caressing her freckled cheeks as I spoke in a soothing tone, "It's nothing for you to worry about your gorgeous self with."
Noah leaned forward brushing her lips against mine before she pleaded, "Please don't shut me out."
I leaned back but paused as she cupped my cheek in her hand, continuing in her plea, "I know we literally met on Friday but I want to be in the know. if there's a chance I'll lose you before I even get the chance to really know you."
My hearts warmed from her plea, how could I ever refuse her of anything? Is this how Corciel feels with Alexis? Is this common among demons and their mates?
I spoke honestly again without a second thought, "It's more about my best friend than it is about me. I can't stay here when I know that she's in danger, even if protecting her got a little harder."
Noah's eyebrows pulled together as she took in the new information, the bridge of her nose wrinkled in a cute way before she asked more questions, "Why? Did she not react well when she found out what you are? What is after her anyway?"
Wow, the mention that we only met three days ago crashed into me heavily. Three days and I already feel like I've had years with her.
I pulled my hands back from her face as I realized how terrifying that is, soulmates are to be feared for this reason alone. Three little days and I never wanted to leave her side, I would do anything to keep her smile on her face.
I swallowed thickly before I answered her and showed her the mark on my wrist, "I don't know the reason behind it for sure, but an angel is after her. I can't hurt angels because of this."
Noah delicately traces the mark on my wrist, her eyes focused in a way that I haven't seen yet. After a few seconds, her eyes lit with determination, met mine as she offered, "Well, why don't we protect her? Better odds for her."
"I can't ask you to do that", I told her, as I pulled my wrist from under her fingers. Would she see me as weak for taking her help?
Noah captured my lips in a kiss that made my hunger for her flare up dangerously. I kissed her back like it is second nature to me, wrapping an arm around her waist as my tongue teased her lips.
She breathed against my lips with a smile, "You didn't ask."
The conversation flowed back to the forefront of my mind then. Kissing Noah made me forget about everything but her, how dangerous that, almost as much as it would be if I let her help.
I caressed her cheek as I spoke softly, "Noah, no it's dangerous."
Noah pulled my hand down as she spoke seriously, "Things that matter often are. If it matters to you, it matters to me. I want to help you any way I can."
I tossed my head back as I growled out the words angrily, "Fuck, saying no to you is hard."
Noah giggled which forced a smile on my face before she said with glee, "Good to know. Now let's get dressed, I want to make a good first impression."
I stared at Noah as she stood there gathering her shiny long red hair up in a ponytail. She wore a red plaid shirt, a red hoodie, black jeans, and black sneakers. I wore a white shirt with the word Queen in black across the chest, a leather jacket and ripped faded jeans, with gray sneakers. Noah pulled her ponytail to the front of her and started to stroke it in a way that looked like nervous energy to me.
I smiled as I walked over to her grabbing my car keys from the bowl on the table near her front door. I kissed her cheek as I opened the door for her, "Everything will be fine, Honeylips"
On the way to my apartment, Noah turned down the radio a little before requesting, "Tell me about your bestie, Sugarplum"
I smiled as I sated to list things about Alexis, "She's a worrier, which is why she doesn't know she's in danger. She is quiet yet sassy and very educated when it comes to sex. She's loyal and clever and a great listener. She can be stubborn as hell and she overthinks and doubts herself sometimes. She's a good person. She's my best friend."
"You love her a lot", Noah spoke the obvious with a bit of awe in her voice.
I suppose it's understandable to be in awe. Demons aren't known for their capacity for love.
I wanted Noah to understand me better so I added, "She's my favorite human in this world. I wouldn't be who I am now without her."
Noah's voice filled with curiosity as she asked, "What do you mean?"
I turned to look at her face as I wondered if I should answer or deflect. Her bright green eyes held mine, her lips curling in a welcoming, smile.
Fear gripped me for a moment, but I let it go when Noah quickly added, "You don't have to tell me if it's too personal. I can figure it out myself when I see you together."
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know me. So I started to explain in the best way I could, "It started with my name. Lilith, named after the first human to ever enter hell. The same human that became one of the most powerful demons ever. I had a lot to live up to and that's all I ever did for the longest time."
I paused letting out a sigh as I recalled how exhausting that was, "Trying to live up to everyone else's expectations and it worked, I convinced myself I was happy. That it was soul-crushingly exhausting to never truly be myself and have no one really know me. That is until my brother cash in one of the favors I owe him. Look after his soulmate, while he regained his strength."
I smiled as I remembered meeting Alexis for the first time on the swings as a young child and getting a kiss from her. I continued to explain keeping my smile in place effortlessly, "Alexis opened my eyes to everything I didn't even know I wanted by being unapologetically herself around me, no matter the situation. She gave me the strength to break the chains I didn't even realize held me, prisoner."
My eyes watered at the recollection of the painful past that I pushed on myself. A tear escaped my eye, I wiped it as I finished my explanation, "I would be a very different person if you met me before I met her."
Noah commented with a smile, "I'm liking this Alexis already, though I am sure that I would still feel the way I do about you now if I met you before you met her.
I parked the car in front of the apartment and noticed that Alexis and Corciel, standing next to his car. I rolled down the passenger side window a bit before placing my index finger to my lips in a universal signal to be quite. Noah grinned at me as we listened in on their conversation.
"No need they are going to my place", Corciel said as he blocked her from reaching the handle.
Alexis closed her eyes and sighed heavily, licking her lips before she spoke, "I'm not going to move in with you, Corciel. You can't make me."
I couldn't see what expression Corciel held, but I saw the flash of arousal in Alexis' eyes. He leaned closer to her as he growled, "I can make you do whatever I want, Doll. I have"
Alexis cut him off with a roll of her eyes as she said, "Yes, I know. But You haven't used it ever, because you want me to be your Queen. You're not stupid enough to use it now, Corciel."
She took a step closer to him as she spoke between her clenched teeth, "Let me get the bags before you ruin our date any further."
Corciel grabbed her throat as he growled, "You are being childish again, running off with your assumptions and cutting me off as I try to explain."
Alexis lifted a hand wrapping it around his wrist, a scowl on her face. I watched as his words sunk in and the fight left her.
Her hand trailed down his forearm as she looked at him from under her lashes, poking out her lower lip a little as she said, "I'm sorry. Please tell me what you mean."
"Everything I bought you is staying at my place for you when you visit every weekend. If you agree, B-Boy will be joining us every weekend as well", Corciel spoke with a rumble in his chest that sounded like fake reluctance to me.
Alexis' eyes widened slightly before she nodded with a smile growing on her features, "Ok"
I chose then to make myself known. I rolled the window down then got out of the car, walking around it to open the passenger side door.
"Look at that smile!", I called over to get their attention as I offered Noah my hand.
Alexis broke away from Corciel and rushed over to us as I pulled Noah out of the car. Alexis stopped short as she got a clear sight of Noah.
Noah's eyes widened as she grabbed my arm tightly. She looked between Alexis and me before she spoke, "This is your best friend?"
"And I'm guessing this is your soulmate, lil. That's awesome, so glad she declined my offer to kill me", Alexis spoke in a joking manner which caused Corciel to stare at Alexis in shock.
"I know right? This would be so awkward otherwise", I joked with her before I started with introductions, "Noah, This is Alexis, and Corciel, my little brother. They are soulmates."
"Wait a minute. You offered this leech to kill you?", Corciel asked angrily as he grabbed Alexis' upper arm, forcing her to turn and face him.
Alexis grinned widely as she said, "I'm a very broken Doll. The important thing is she left instead of killing me."
"I would have never killed her anyway", Noah spoke up in a clear tone as she continued, "Just to make that clear, I only kill rapists and scumbags, I'm kinda a hired killer for people already destined for hell."
I grinned with pride as I threw my arm around her, "Isn't she just the best!"
"That is super cool, please tell me more about that", Alexis said with curiosity clear and bright in her brown eyes as she tried to pull her arm from his hold.
Corciel grabbed her chin and pulled her in for a hard kiss, that made her whimper. He let her go just as she started to reach for him and really get into it.
"Go inside Doll", He spoke as he turned her towards the building and gave her ass a harsh smack.
"Fuck", Alexis cried out before she rushed up the stairs to the front door.
I knew from the way Corciel looked at me that he wanted to talk. So I turned Noah towards the steps before whispering in her ear, "Go on with her, I'll join you in a second."
Once Noah was in the building with Alexis, did Corciel ask the question, "How are things going with the Angel that's after my Doll?"
