Playing With Fire

Chapter- 5

My eyelids fluttered open to dimly lit surroundings. I groaned feeling the achiness in every single one of my joints and then some.

"Finally. Here baby, take these." Phoenix was right by my side and I only noticed him when he spoke. He had laid me on a very comfortable bed and cuddled me in blankets.

There were two white pills on his hand and a bottle of water in his other.

I sat up a little too quickly and groaned as the soreness increased.

"You have to be careful, kitten. You had a concussion. You're ok now but your body will be sore for a little while. Take the pills."

I swallowed hard, eyeing him and them, not quite sure if I should or not. Who knew what they could be. Hèll, I didn't know WHAT Phoenix was. I don't care if that sounded crazy. Maybe it was a symptom from the so called 'concussion' I had, had.

It was definitely possible that I did have one though, I did hit my head pretty hard.

"Lilith, they're vicodin and right now you need them. I want you to feel better kitten. I would never hurt you. I know that may be hard to believe after... anyway take the medicine. I know you're in a lot of pain right now and I can't take it all away, I'm sorry."

"W-what do you mean t-take it all away..."

He sighed, biting his lip after and I felt my stomach muscles clench hard.

"I healed your concussion. I took the swelling away. I have many gifts. And I know you're terrified right now but please, please kitten, take the medicine I want you to feel better. And I want you to eat. I'm going to keep you safe here tonight."

"I n-need to go home.... Please, take me home."

"You're not going anywhere kitten. You're my responsibility. You're mine to take care of."

"W-what do you mean? You... I don't know who you are at all. I should h-have listened to y-you, I'm sorry for that but please d-don't.."

"Don't what?" He moved onto the bed and sat right up against my body. I pressed my aching back into the headboard as I shuddered hard. "Kill you? I could never Lilith, you don't understand."

Before I could look away, he grabbed my face in his hands and pressed his forehead against mine. I whimpered as I felt his breath against my lips. My skin was on fire and it felt so good. I was terrified and so much more. I could feel the ache building between my legs as his breathing became harsher.

"I-I want to understand..." I whispered out, breathing him in, in the process. I was surrounded by his essence, I was drowning in it and my body was screaming out for him to touch it.

I had never felt anything remotely like this. It literally felt like I was hurting more because he wasn't touching me enough.

Before I could say anything, he smashed his lips against mine and we groaned in unison. "Open for me, baby. Please open for me." His words were hot and breathy against my lips.

He didn't have to ask a third time before I opened my mouth and his tongue slid in against mine.

Oh, hell. I was so lost. The fear melted away and I cried out into him.

Deeper, harder, faster, rougher. More, more, more.

His hand grabbed the back of my neck and I whimpered into his mouth as he squeezed it. Chills racked my body and I could feel my pelvis thrust upwards, begging for his touch. I felt embarrassed but I couldn't care.

"Relax, baby." He pulled his mouth back before our kiss continued to get more heated.

I cried out in protest as he positioned me to lie down on the bed and pinned me to it.

"Lilith, you need to take some medicine and eat. Your body needs to heal. I can't stand seeing you in pain like this."

The feelings Phoenix was making me feel were overpoweing my pain to be freaking honest. And although I was still so unsure about who he really was, scared of what he did, I still wanted him. He had called me his and it made my spirit sore.

He grew quiet for a moment, just staring down at me. His expression was unreadable and eyes dark. My mouth watered at the sight of him. Every nerve ending in my entire body was on edge from his closeness.

Did he even know what he was doing to me right now!? I wanted to scream.

With that thought, he slowly grinned and leaned his face down, close to mine. "I know exactly what I'm doing to you baby kitten."

FÜCK ME.

He latched his mouth onto my neck and sucked hard causing me to cry out his name and arch my back. "O-oh hell... oh shit....Ph-phoenix."

Slowly he trailed kisses up and down my heated skin, taking time to bite my earlobe and suck it into his mouth. "I don't think you're ready for me kitten. I really don't think you are."

If he wasn't going to kill me with a knife or any other sort of weapon, he was definitely going to kill me with his teasing. If he really knew what he was doing to me, then he knew that for a fact.

"I'm not going to kill you in any way kitten. If you want me to relieve the ache, I will. But we're both just going to get a taste for now. And then you're going to eat, take the pain killers, I'm going to talk and you're going to listen, understand?"

I nodded frantically. Anything, I would do anything.

"You have NO fücking clue how much self control it's taking me not to just fück you senseless little one."

I whimpered as he moved his head down over my chest, placing kisses along my body, through my shirt. He stopped at a nïpple to suck it into his mouth and I screamed. This caused him to growl and he gently bit it. "Mmmm fück, you smell so good... your scent.... your blood, your arousal... you smell so sweet. I can't believe I'm not balls deep inside of you already, kitten."

Phoenix's. Dirty. Mouth.

He was so conserved with me up until this very moment and I couldn't believe how much I had been missing out. I had fantasized many times about being intimate with him but nothing could have ever done the real thing justice.

He chuckled as he made his way to my shorts and began to undo them too slowly for my liking. Again I whimpered out as he ran his nose along my weeping center through the jean material.

Take them off, take them off, take them off!

I felt like a freaking slüt! I had never been this needy. NEVER.

"Do you want to know why you're still a vïrgin?"

His question made my heart skip a painful beat as I quickly tilted my head to look down at him. What kind of question was that!?

He chuckled again and slid his hands up under the material, gripping it and then tugging downwards. I was left in my small, black pair of panties that was almost completely wet. He groaned as he stuck out his tongue and ran it roughly along the silky material.

Right before he lifted his tongue away, the tip of it's ring hit my clït and I writhed against him. He took his large hands and held me down.

"You're still a vïrgin because I scared away every little boy who has ever tried to get close to this. This is mine, it's my right to take, to keep..."

"Y-you scared them away? Y-you've only just met me recently. What are you talking about?"

"I've always been around little kitten. I've known about you since you were first born Lilith. You were made for me, did you know that? Literally made for me. Before you were born I was a lot more wild than I am now. You are supposed to be some sort of 'calm me down.' It's rather humorous, really. I never thought I'd get a soulmate. God is quite humorous actually. But who am I to complain. You are perfect, kitten and I am so happy to have you. I wouldn't give you back. I will never give you back."

My head was spinning with all the information he had just given to me. He didn't let me respond though as I watched him tear my underwear from my body.

My head jerked back and I closed my eyes as he stretched my muscles further. I was spread wide for his eyes and his mouth which immediately covered my entirety.

He didn't hesitate to push his tongue deep inside of my aching core, which had my back arching once again. I moaned wildly as he thrusted it wildly inside of me, groaning against my flesh.

My brain short circuited and all I could manage to get out of my mouth was his name.

His tongue ring was scraping against my walls and making me feel rather high on the pleasure it was giving me.

He made me cüm too quickly and I had to be held down as I did. I was scared that it was over until he started to lick my clït with the little metal ball and the tip of his thick finger began to stroke my opening slowly.

"I want to be inside you kitten. More than I've ever wanted anything in my whole entire life. Do you know that?"

My püssy clenched around the tip of his finger as he slowly began to push it all the way inside.

There was NO pain. Not with the way his tongue played with my clït. And before I knew it he was thrusting it in and out of me, curling deep inside.

"Good girl." He spoke directly against my swollen flesh and I cried. "You are so beautiful, so perfect. I want to tear you apart. I can't wait to taint you kitten. I can't wait to cüm deep inside of this beautiful püssy. You're going to be so fücking dirty when I'm done with you. But I'll never be done with you, I'm going to do it over and over and over again... forever..."

As soon as he spoke, he pulled my clït into his mouth, and slammed two fingers into me at the same time making me fall apart. No, I fücking shattered all over his face and his hand.

A growl vibrated deep inside of his chest, making my body jerk hard. It was so feral sounding, I had never heard something like that before.

In that moment I looked down at him and he was looking up at me, his eyes red as blood. I could see the color because they weren't just red but they were GLOWING.

I screamed again, the sight throwing me over the edge again as he continued to curl his two thick, long fingers deep inside of me.

He didn't stop his movements until he knew my òrgasm had passed. He knew exactly when to stop.

My cheeks grew hotter as he lifted his face just a little bit to admire my soaked püssy.

And then he cleaned me up with his tongue making my body twitch from the sensitivity.

"Wh-who are you... r-really?"

He sat up, allowing me to close my legs and wrapped my lower half in a red, fuzzy blanket that was setting on the bed.

He stood, licking his lips rather thoroughly before I watched him walk over to a dresser and open a drawer.

"I'm yours, kitten." Was his simple reply.

I let it sink in as he hummed.

"W-What are you? How... how old are you?"

He turned holding a pair of grey sweatpants and a plain, red, long sleeved shirt.

"Put these on. You'll be more comfortable kitten."

"Phoenix..."

"I told you, I would make you feel better. Then you would take your medicine and we would eat and talk. So take the medicine baby."

He placed the clothes beside me and picked up the pills from the dresser. I held out my hand and he gave them to me, along with the water.

He watched me take it before he walked over to the door. "Change and then come down to the kitchen. I'm going to feed you and we are going to chat, ok kitten?"

I nodded my head without another word and he gave me a soft smile before walking out and shutting the door.

It took me a moment to pry my eyes away from the door before I began to change. My mind was running wild with thoughts.

I knew he knew it too.

Any other sane person on this planet would have already tried to escape by now. They wouldn't have let someo- something like Phoenix touch them the way I let him.

He MADE me want him. Or... I couldn't control it. I swear it. It was literally like a drug addict who was craving a fix.

I couldn't deny that, that was real. Even though every word he said had me scared as shït.

Soulmate? I was made for him? God gave me to him....

He scared away any boy that tried to sleep with me. My vïrginity BELONGED to him.

He cured my concussion...

Oh and he killed Erin. Erin was dead.

All the thoughts swirled around inside my brain and ran together making me feel dizzy.

I needed food.

I was slow to make my way down to the kitchen. This cabin was absolutely beautiful. It was so warm, cozy, homey- everything you would imagine a cabin should be. Well everything I had always imagined one to be. And for someone seemingly so intimidating and scary like Phoenix, you wouldn't think it would be.

Even though I knew I had NO idea about who he really was, I still knew he wasn't going to hurt me like he had said. I could feel it, it was a feeling that couldn't be overcome by anything I had learned, seen, or was yet to learn.

Yes, I knew what a soulmate was. It was basically 'your other half.' I read about it in many werewolf books. They were called 'mates' in those. What was I really to Phoenix? He called me his but did that mean he just pretty much saw me as his property?

It was so surreal to hear him say that he knew about me since I was born. I lived in the real world and what was happening wasn't real world happenings. It was fantasy shít. It was shít you read about in books.

Like my werewolf books.

As I entered the rather impressive kitchen space, Phoenix's soft, deep chuckle caught me completely off guard. My body froze as I entered and he came into sight.

"Y-you're listening.... aren't you?"

"Oh kitten, I'm always listening. It's impossible to resist."

He knew EVERYTHING. I mean EVERYTHING. All the inappropriate thoughts and how I felt and... oh, he knew how I felt about him.

"Yes I do but you don't need to feel embarrassed at all. I feel the exact same way. I've loved you since you were born Lilith. I've always been there, protecting you, watching over. I know it probably makes you feel weird to know that but I had to keep you safe. When you and your boyfriend..." He spit out the B word and I felt chills run down my spine. He didn't like the guy even more than I didn't like the guy.

"When you two were intimate, I wanted to kill him. And no I didn't watch it actually happen, I ended up smelling it on you. That doesn't make it sound any better trust me I know but... well let's just say that guy isn't around anymore."

He killed him. I should have known.

"I knew he was pressuring you. He could have raped you kitten. If I didn't make him go away, he wouldn't have willingly, I heard what he was thinking about you."

Holy crap. "So Jared didn't switch schools? Why wasn't his disappearance on the news?"

Phoenix tapped the side of his head and grinned. "A lot of people forgot about him."

No way, just no... "What are you Phoenix? How can you do all these things? How do you still look so young, even though I knew you looked too old to be a high schooler."

"When I first heard you think that, it was so hard not to say anything. I only enrolled at our school because I knew you would be coming. Erin predicted it."

My mouth hung open wide and I couldn't help but stare awkwardly. Erin predicted... she predicted I was coming?

"Erin wasn't human, kitten. She wasn't human and she wasn't as good as you thought she was. Even though I know you were starting to feel it. I met Erin through her brother and I knew her brother because he's like me. We run in the same circles. Go to the same places..."

"WHAT. ARE. YOU?" I was so frustrated. Erin wasn't who I thought she was, Phoenix wasn't who I thought he was. Erin purposely pulled me into her life because she knew how important I was to Phoenix.

"She did. She did it to piss me off. She would have never hurt you she just wanted to make it harder for me. Wanted to make it take longer for us to get closer but that bïtch isn't very good at hiding her true colors at all."

He moved around from the stove and came to stand in front of me. "I need you to sit down kitten. I need you to sit down with me, I don't want you passing out again."

"Phoenix... just tell me. Please."

"I'm a demon. That's what you humans technically classify me as. Except I don't exactly have a 'class.' There's incubi, you've heard of Abraxas, Amon, there's deadly sins, drudes, Berith, Rosier, Belias and the list goes on and on and on. Different types different names of demons but to keep it simple for you kitten, I'm just a demon. Blood, sins and sèxual acts, thoughts and feelings are the major things that sustain me.

"I don't really fall into any kind of classification you humans could give me though. Blood turns me on as well but I'm not a vampire. My name is Phoenix because I literally can never die kitten. I mean technically I can but I always come back. And there's no one like me. No other like me, I'm my own. I don't know why I am, but I am."

I watched him watch me. His fingers felt heavy and hot against my arms. I was still breathing evenly. I was waiting. I was waiting for him to continue. And continue he did.

"I'm over half a millennium old. Do you understand why I didn't think having a soulmate was possible? About 19 years ago, I hit a rough patch in my life. I was really bad. Everywhere I went, I caused destruction. I took way too many lives. Even for a demon like myself it was... gruesome. I was miserable, I didn't want to live anymore kitten. I was so angry that every time I tried to kill myself I would come back. I begged to die and my cries were never answered. So I... went a little mad."

My heart hurt. My heart hurt for him. It hurt so bad that I rubbed my chest to try and make it stop.

"You... you were so miserable that I was given to you... as a peace offering..."

I started to cry and he quickly gathered me in his arms, holding me tightly. "Don't cry for me kitten. I have you now and that's all that matters to me. You are my whole world, do you understand? I'm happy now... I'm happy now, baby."

We stood there, in the kitchen for what felt like forever as he held me.

Yeah, he had told me a lot of things but I still had so many more questions and I knew he knew it. For now, I was content with the silence. I was content with letting him just listen to my thoughts.

I wasn't scared anymore. Ok maybe that was a lie. I was scared of the unknown and I needed to adapt. Being someone that was all for change- this was pushing changes' limits. But I was willing to adapt. I wanted to adapt if that meant having Phoenix, belonging to him.

He was a demon.

I laughed against his chest as I buried my face in it. I kind of liked how I didn't have to explain to him why I was laughing.

Laughing because I had always known that he was different. Laughing because kids in our school requested locker changes when they found out that they had one next to him. He was intimidating and he scared people and he was a demon.

This time Phoenix laughed.

"Erin wasn't lying about that either. No one ever kept their locker next to me for too long. The funniest part about the whole thing is that I never said a singe word to any of them. All I had to do was look at them and then they were going to the principle."

This guy. "You don't s-scare me..."

"Is that so?" He growled lowly against my ear and I felt chills once again take over my body as I jerked into him. This just made him laugh and I closed my eyes, burying myself closer.

"Well, we'll see about that when I'm buried deep inside of you, kitten."
