Breaking An Angel

Chapter 5: A Deal

PENELOPE POV

Moments later Azrael is pulling me out of that room and before we can make it out Adonis grabs my hand.

“Where are you going Penelope?”

I look up at Azrael hoping for an answer because I sure as hell don’t have one. Thankfully he responds, “we’re just going to the backyard, I promise she’s safe with me.”

They give each other that douchey bro nod and Adonis’ focus goes back to Jo, while Azrael kisses my hand and begins leading me outside. The tingles from his lips still lingering on my skin making me feel an overwhelming sensation of warmth.

We finally reach our destination, and we sit on a swing underneath a big oak tree facing a beautiful lake. I didn’t realize how close we were sitting to each other, all I could feel was warmth radiating from his body and sparks wherever our bodies touched. Our hands were still intertwined as we sat in silence for a few minutes just enjoying each others presence.

I look up at his beautiful blue eyes and notice that he’s been staring at me. I drink up every mouth watering feature of his, from his blue orbs, to his wavy dark hair, to his button nose, down to his perfectly pink lips, ingraining ever single one to memory so I never forget. 

“I love you.” He blurts out scanning my face for a reaction.

I just sit there looking at him expressionless, not knowing what to say back. I mean what do you say in this situation, like hey I know we just met but yeah, I totally love you too.

“W-what?” Is all I could muster at this point.

“Please don’t run. I’m sorry,” he says. “I just... I have never felt this way before. With you it’s intoxicatingly suffocating, I’m feeling things I didn’t know I could, I’m not supposed to have these feelings. It’s all knew to me.”

I’m still looking at his beautiful face and can now see worry and concern glistening in his eyes, so I do the only thing I feel is right. I hold his face in both my hands and pull him down to my level. Placing my forehead up against his our breathes get heavier and shorter. I pull back reeling from our close proximity and I place a kiss on his lips.

He pulls back looking at me confused and for a second I started to feel foolish for thinking that was the right move. All of a sudden he kisses me back, it starts off soft and simple, but as he continues he deepens the kiss. I’m enjoying the feeling of his lips on as he quickens the pace, our moves becoming synchronized. He takes my lip in his mouth and lightly sucks on it making me let out a soft moan.

Azrael swiftly pulls me on top of him to where I’m straddling him now, my arms make their way to his neck and his hands are roaming my body. I start grinding on him and I can feel him getting hard through his jeans, his hands grabbing onto my ass. I pull back trying to come up for air and he takes the opportunity to grab the back of my neck and starts leaving kisses from my jawline to my collarbone. His freehand begins to roam up my sweatshirt towards my bellybutton, making its way up my chest. 

“Penelope we have to go!” I hear Adonis shout from the back door and I’m quickly pulled out of my haze.

I’m still straddling Azrael as I look up and see my brother looking annoyed waiting by the patio. We slowly regain control our breathing and I remove myself from his lap. Looking down at him I can’t make myself leave, but I know I have to.

“I’ll call you,” I say as I stand in front of him and he give me this warm smile in return.

I make my way towards Adonis who does not look happy, hopefully he didn’t see any of what just happened between Azrael and I.

“What’s wrong Adi?” 

“We need to talk to mom and dad, let’s go.”

ADONIS POV

I watch as Penelope and Azrael make their way to a tree swing from the balcony, once I feel she’s safe I make my way back to Jo and her other siblings. 

As soon as I walk into the living room, I’m met with Lucifer’s making his way towards me. 

“So, when do you and your brothers turn 22?” He asks me.

“Umm in a couple of weeks.” I responded not knowing exactly where this line of questioning is coming from. 

“Well isn’t that interesting,” Lucifer continues. “You have beautiful eyes if I do say so, very similar to my own. Do your parents have them?” 

“No, they have dark brown eyes.” 

“Well you see where I’m from people with eyes similar to ours are very special.”

“Leave him alone Luci.” Jo says looking at Lucifer in disdain.

“Oh please JoJo, I’m just asking simple questions. I’m just making sure he’s good enough for my little sister,” Lucifer responds.

“So have your parents ever made a deal with the devil?” He asks me.

“What?” 

“Oh dear, you don’t even know. You and your brothers are in for quite a surprise. You should ask your parents about the deal they made oh I don’t know about 22 years and 9 months ago.”

"What are you talking about?"

"That is for your parents to explain."

"Luci stop!" Jo yells at him.

I didn't notice that all the other siblings were now listening to the conversation happening in front of them. They all looked at me with a worried concern plastered on their faces, like they knew what was about to happen.

"JoJo, you sure can pick them, you thought you had a mere mortal, but you've got yourself a good one."

"What the hell are you talking about?!?" I screamed, my patience dwindling with every second that passes.

"Well since you are so adamant in finding out, your parents made a deal. This deal basically sold your souls, just for the opportunity to conceive male offspring. Why they would want to do that when they had someone as wonderful as your sister, I have no clue."

"A deal? A deal with who?" I ask him.

"Well with me of course" he responds with amusement lacing his words. "I am Lucifer after all, or did you not catch on to all the names here."

"Luci please stop," Jo begged him. "He doesn't know."

"So you haven't told your little boy toy here, what you really are?" 

I look over at Jo and I can see that she's about to start crying, tears are welling up in her eyes and there's a sadness to her once jovial face. Lucifer continues to look at me with a smirk plastered on his face, like he's enjoying the scene he's just caused.

"Lucifer, enough!" I hear a powerful voice coming from behind him. Raphael grabs Lucifer by the throat and pushes him against the wall. "I won't let you hurt my sister just so you can enjoy your petty games."

"Jo? What are they talking about?" I ask looking down at Jo.

"Adonis, please don't be mad ok? I promise I didn't lie to you to hurt you."

"Jo what the hell are you talking about?"

She takes a deep breathe before she continues "I'm an Archangel, the Archangel of art, beauty and inspiration to be exact."

"HaHa very funny Jo, can you please just tell me the truth I promise I won't be mad."

"That is the truth Adonis, I swear it on my Father." she says looking at me with fear and slight hope in her eyes. "I'll prove it."

"Are you sure you know what you're doing JoJo?" asks Michael from beside her.

"I have to, I love him." she responds.

With one swift motion, huge white wings sprout from behind her stretching out as far as they go and coming back to rest at her sides, with the tips dragging on the floor. I look at Jo -er Jophiel- in utter shock, I mean how do you hide this from someone you claim to love.

"I-I have to go." I stutter.

"Raph heal him, please" she cried to her brother.

"He isn't hurt JoJo."

"He's emotionally hurt you can try." she begged.

"No, please don't I just need to leave." I responded once Raphael started walking towards me.

*********

Once Penelope and I were in the car, I quickly made our way home trying to figure out what to do with all this information. 

For f***s sake my girlfriend was an angel. Which means that all her siblings are too, including Azrael, who Penelope is already smitten with. 

And Lucifer, the f*****g devil himself, talking about deals being made. 

"Mom and Dad have a lot to f*****g answer for" I growled.
