Angels and Misfits Part Two

Chapter 3

Mature 

Alex

Gabe and Katelyn were gone for a few days with Phoenix.

They had the house to—no. Not themselves.

But the boys were asleep.

And Jack and Anya’s wedding gift to them had been calling to Alex since he caught Nora rubbing out a knot in her shoulder when they got home.

Nora was checking everything around the house before coming upstairs since Phoenix wasn’t there to act as the trusted guard dog.

Seriously, Gabe wasn’t taking Phoenix anymore.

The tub was on and the jets were going. This. This was all he could think about while Mystic—Misery, maybe?—clawed at his wrists while he slowly watched her soul die before the rest of her perished.

That was on his mind, and the fact Evander could have probably done the same thing if he was a bit older. Nora didn’t want to bring them all the time, but the boys weren’t comfortable with anyone else as much yet. Not for long periods of time. So, they packed up the kids wherever they went and sucked it up. 

Besides, the boys proved to be more helpful than not at times.

Orion once let a lightning bolt hit a rogue wolf before it made its way to Nora. He was protective over her. It’s why Orion was always on her back. 

Two, maybe close to three years young and he was putting together the basic concept of family.

Nora made her way into their room and shut the door. Those boys were lacking in a lot of nurturing, but they sure knew how to sleep through the night—other than the night terrors. “Alex?” He was looking forward to the uninterrupted evening.

“Bathroom,” he called out. When she came in wearing a more appropriate nightgown that she could wear around the house, he took her in entirely.

She carried a child. Their child. She waited fifty years and was now in this new stage of her life. Motherhood.

And f**k if it didn’t look good on her.

Occasionally puffy eyes be damned. Nora was still that same scared girl in the rain he saw all those years ago.

“What’s this?” She leaned into Alex. “For me?”

He lowered the straps of her black gown, letting it fall to the floor. Taking her hand in his, he led her in before stripping himself down and climbing in behind her.

“I miss Phoenix,” she sighed leaning backward into Alex’s chest.

“I see why he takes Phoenix. He watches out for Katelyn, but maybe Anya would be willing to part with Ramsay for a while.”

Nora scoffed. “That hound is even worse than Phoenix and only likes Anya and the baby. He would sooner bite Katelyn than Phoenix would Lucifer.”

True. 

Alex just wanted his Phoenix back. All that searching for him and getting him back only to have Gabe use him as Katelyn’s personal guard dog.

They’d need to set up a custody arrangement until Gabe found the ones behind Katelyn’s mother’s drug abuse. Murder, really. They took advantage of her and her condition. So, with a heavy sigh, Alex relented. Fine. They could keep Phoenix when they left.

For now.

Alex found the knot in Nora’s shoulder and pressed his thumbs in, massaging the tissue. Nora’s head fell to the side against his chest. “That feels so good.”

Alex smirked, watching her lips part. He tilted his chin and pressed his lips to the spot behind her ear. “Why didn’t we do anything like this in Mexico?”

“What?”

“Hot tub,” he answered. His hands worked into her shoulders and gods the sounds she made with each knead into her muscles.

The bubbling water helped ease the tension in her body from the day. It was another disappointing day searching for a way to find Manic, but they still ended up right here. Together. Safe. 

“We didn’t have one back then. We had the ocean.”

Alex’s hand moved down to the sides of her arms, pressing that tension down. With her head back on his shoulder, he had the perfect view of paradise.

“We should go there when we’re done. Take the boys and Phoenix. Just…” Alex’s hands moved down her belly, past that black and purple scar, resting just below it. “Relax at the beach. Watch the boys chase Phoenix in the water.”

“They’re too little to go out by themselves. Maybe when they’re older.”

He tilted his cheek onto hers, watching his hands sink lower under the bubbling water. He could feel her eyes watching while his fingers just grazed that sensitive spot down below until he reached lower, spreading her legs.

“They’ll be safe with us wherever they go.” He kissed that spot behind her ear once more, and nibbled on her ear. 

Nora’s breathing hitched while he teased the edges around her center. Her hips shifted chasing that need, but Alex held her down.

“You feeling better?”

Nora nodded. 

“Your muscles all…” each hand squeezed the insides of her thighs, “relaxed?”

“Yes...”

Alex lifted her just slightly in his lap, pressing himself just underneath her. Enough that he knew she could feel him. 

“What do you say…” he lifted his hips pressing against her and still spreading her legs open just enough. “We take this to bed?”

Her slight nod was enough to get him to pull her up and out of the tub. Alex couldn’t care less about drying off. 

He wanted her. He wanted his wife. His Nora. 

And he knew damn well she wanted him too. All that squirming around him was enough to drive him over the edge.

Once he laid her out on the bed, Nora sat up and pushed him up and over onto his back. “What—“ the words were caught in his throat the second her lips covered the tip of his d**k as she swirled her tongue magically around him. 

“Oh my gods, Nor—“

Nora’s eyes met his while she slowly took him in between those pink lips. 

Time stopped.

Nora’s lips… tongue… everything. He could feel everything she was doing. Her tongue swirled around his shaft when she hummed with him inside of her. When she lifted her head back up, the sucking nearly sent him to the f*****g moon watching her lips puckered around the tip. 

Nora went back down, and just as he moved to fist her hair, she forced him to the back of her throat.

“Holy f**k…” he breathed out.

Her nails dug into his thighs and Alex wasn’t going to make it if she did it again. 

“Nor—” she came up and then sucked all the way back down until he hit the back of her throat again.

Hand in her hair, he yanked her off. Nora’s eyes flared. “What the f—”

Alex pulled her up into his arms, his tongue finding hers instantly. His chest heaved. “I wasn’t gonna make it.”

Frowning, she looked down at his throbbing erection, still wet from his mouth. “Isn’t that the point?”

No. He didn’t want to go in her mouth. He wanted to be inside of her. He wanted to swallow her moans while she came on him. No. Not right now.

Alex spun her on his lap with her back to his chest just like the tub. Nora let out a gasp. 

He positioned himself just at the edge of her entrance. She was already soaked. “Did that turn you on, Nora?” He lifted her hips and slammed her down onto him. 

Nora cried out.

“Shhhh,” he squeezed her hips. “The kids, baby.” Her hands came up to his hair practically ripping it out, and Alex pulled her back up just before thrusting back up into her. 

So much he wanted to do. So many things, but thinking about those lips on him put Alex on the edge. Her moans and hums with him practically down her throat sent a fire through him he never realized he needed. 

Nora’s body shook with each thrust inside of her. 

“Nora, I need you to do something, baby.” His grip on her hips harder with each desperate pump into her. He moved one hand up to take hold of her breast. The soft flesh fit so perfectly in his hand. 

“Touch that pretty little clit, baby.” Alex nipped on that spot on her ear she loved. “Make yourself come on me.”

He knew the second she obeyed. Nora’s body tensed while her insides clenched around him. “I love you so much, Nora.”

“I love you, Alex.”

Nora’s walls tightened around him and she cried out loud enough he was sure it could possibly wake the kids. 

“f**k,” he grunted. Nora’s grip forced something almost feral out of him. His hips stuttered on one last jerk inside her as he emptied himself inside her. A shiver through his spine hit Alex right at the height of his release. He lost complete control he even felt his wings jerk in place.

Somehow they ended up on the floor with his wings spread out beneath them. Last he remembered they were on the bed. Whatever happened from the second he came inside her, it felt like that last time it was a near out of body experience. 

Perhaps it was.

She rolled over from on top of him. “That felt like that one time.”

It was bittersweet. He knew what she was talking about. It may have been the best feeling ever, but what followed that last night in Mexico brought about all that pain.

It’s why he wanted to go back with her. Her lake mourning ritual wasn’t his idea of healing. She was merely slapping a bandaid over it and ignoring it. 

Alex was a healer and he needed to heal.

Bringing her and the boys back to where their lives changed forever felt like something he needed to do. 

And she was very obviously against it without saying as much.

This could possibly be their first real difference. Their first fight. He promised she would win their first fight, but if it was this, he may actually break that promise.
