Abel didn't like what he did.
But why did he continue to do it? Because he had too.
Throughout his 40 years of life, he had been doing this 'hunt' since the death of his younger brother Triston. He suspected that his parents were victims of all of this as well, but all he could remember was his the night his brother was seen. He saw with his own eyes as that demonic creature drug him off into the woods. He was screaming, but it was like nothing could be heard. He tried to tell his parents in the morning, but they were not convinced 'the monster' took him. It had to be some weirdo in the night. They wouldn't get long enough to make a police report. They left the house the morning after, never to return, as their car was found overturned in an embankment half way between the town and their farm... The cops came and took him to foster care soon after...
However, this story would quickly escape his mind as he would see the lights of the cabin ahead. While it was a small cabin out in the woods, he was still close enough to civilization to get water and power, as well as internet in his little cabin oasis. He would sigh as he slung the pack off his back and it hit the ground with a heavy thud. Almost sounding like a couple hundred pounds of something on his back.
"I'm home," he would say as he stepped through the door, sighing, "You won't believe the echoes I had to go through to get that..."
Gizella wasn't any ordinary woman and she was aware of this. She is a demon, and no not the stereotypical red skinned being with horns type of demon. Despite her long black horns, she resembled a human quite a lot. Sure, humans and demons were different in some ways, which is why humans disliked them strongly. Demons ate humans to survive, which conflicted with the humans. Over the years cientists have used demons they have caught for their expiremnts. They tried coming up with a way that demons could survive without the need to hunt humans. They tried live animals, but that only made the demons feral depending on how much they've ate. A feral demon is way more dangerous than one that is sane. Their bodies rejected human food, no matter how they received it.
Gazelle wasn't evil. She simply needed to do what had to be done to survive. She couldn't help that their bodies rejected human food, nor did they find it enjoyable. But she came to realize that humans were way worse than demons.
Currently, Gazelle was busying herself in the kitchen. Despite being unable to taste human food, she still enjoyed preparing meals for her partner whenever he returned home.
"To get what?" Gazelle asked. "It sounds heavy. Did you really carry that back here?" She asked with a soft chuckle.
She wore a black dress, one that wasn't too long or too short. It was quite comfortable as well. Her partner was the one who bought her clothing. She couldn't visit stores, the reason being because of her appearance.
@Jake
"Well, I mean," he said panting for a moment as he removed his heavy jacket and placed it on the coat rack outside of the door, "I couldn't just wheel the truck up to the door with all of that snow out there."
Indeed, this winter had been strong for them. The heavy snowfall mixed with ice that formed underneath from the recent storm made it difficult to even walk a slope, let alone drive up the side of a mountain in a truck, "Besides," he would continue, "You know how I feel about butchering the damn things. I won't do it..."
Gazelle placed down the large wooden spoon on the counter momentarily. She could smell what had been carried in Abel's bag. "Well, I've told you countless times that I could do the hunting on my own." She said softly. "What did this one do?" She asked out of curiosity.
@Jake
"And risk you being spotted by one of those assholes from the DES," he said with an almost annoyance in his voice, "Not a chance, we have had one too many close calls with them..."
His annoyance would turn to a smile as he turned to face here, "Let's not worry about that right now," he would step forward, his hands falling to her hips as he would walk up to her, his lips following to hers for a soft kiss, "What is that? It smells amazing..."
"I can handle my own, Abel. Don't you know?" She said with a soft chuckle. "We've lived here for a while, and we weren't discovered. I doubt that we ever will be." The woman assured.
Gazelle returned the kiss, a soft smile on her lips afterwards. "I was making mashed potatoes and prokchops. There really isn't too much to work with since we're going a bit low on food."
"But I worked with what we had. Why don't you go and get freshened up? I'll make you a plate."
@Jake
"I will definitely need to go get more food from town soon," he said, looking at the cabinets and fridge over her head, taking a mental stock for a moment of what he might need in the future before she told him to go freshen up, "I will go do that..."
He gave her a smile and a playful tug on her black horn as he would move away, something he would always do to try and lighten the mood between the two in a moment of stress. He smiled as he strolled back towards the bathroom of the small cabin, washing his face and hands off in the moment.
Gazelle let out a soft giggle at the tug of her horn. Her horns were quite long, but they didn't get in the way of anything really... Unless she was trying to put on a shirt. But she's gotten pretty used to them.
While Abel freshened up, Gazelle finished up the food and began preparing Abel's dish. It was more than enough for another plate if he'd like more. She placed his plate and silverware at the dining table before pouring him a glass of water.
@Jake
As he would round the corner back into the kitchen and dining area, he would give her a soft smile as he would find the table already arranged and ready for him. He never told her that she had to do this, this was just something that developed between the two of them over the course of the last year. An even longer story proceeding that. He would find his spot at the table, "Are you having anything?"
Sometimes he had to mentally prepare himself to eat with her as he knew what she was eating, even though she didn't often.
Gazelle shook her head. "No, I think I'll wait." She didn't like the idea of eating literal humans in front of Abel. Because he himself was one as well. "I'll just watch you eat." She said with a soft chuckle and sat down across from her partner at the table. She actually enjoyed watching Abel eat the food that she took her time out to prepare. Honestly, she never was great of a cook until she met Abel. She took it upon herself to learn how to do so.
"Oh! And tomorrow I was thinking that maybe you could stop by the library? I finished reading the books that we rented last time. I want something new." Gazelle enjoyed reading to pass the time. It got pretty boring in their cabin when she didn't have anything to do.
"So, how was work?"
@Jake
"Oh, we can do that," he said with a smile as he would cut loose a piece of the porkchop, dipping it in the mashed potatoes, before he would begin chewing on it, "This is amazing, but you gotta remember to season it. Remember the all purpose I got you, that can be put on everything..."
She was learning and luckily, sometimes, she could take constructive criticism, but after a long day like this, he was more than ready for whatever was going to be in front, but his mind would wonder for a second, "Are you sure you are okay with going out again after last time...?"
Gazelle sighed softly, mentally cursing herself. "Dammit, I forgot. It's hard to know how much seasoning to add. I wouldn't want to add too much or too little after all." She explained. "Maybe a cook book would be nice. I'd like to learn some new recipes."
"... Of course I am." She replied, though a little hesitant at first. "Maybe I could hide my horns better this time. I've thought about cutting them, you know." She sighed. "I'm tired of being stuck here all day, Abel. I want to go out and do things."
"I want us to do stuff together. Outside of the cabin. I'm not scared of a few demon hunters, Abel. I can handle myself."
@Jake(edited)
"We will have to concieve something up," he said with a smile as he looked back at her with a smile, eating another piece of the porkchop, "Maybe like a headpiece or a head dress of some kind..."
He mused to himself as he looked down at the plate, continuing to eat as she spoke, "I know you do," he would sigh, this was an argument they had had often now a days, "I just... you know how they are. You know that they know your weaknesses..."
"Why don't we just move somewhere else? I mean, we can start fresh." Gazelle had often asked about moving. Sure, she loved their cabin but sometimes she wanted something different. "A headpiece? Oh please." She scoffed.
"I don't care if they know my weaknesses. Besides, it's not like they can keep up with my speed." She got up from the dining table with an annoyed sigh.
@Jake
"But, all it takes is one wrong move or one person waiting at the far end of your stretch," he said, as he finished his plate, placing the fork and knife on the empty plate, he had a way of always thinking out every possiblity, "Plus, you know why we can't move from here. We have to stay out of sight and out of mind, plus Triston..."
He stopped himself short as he looked up at her, her annoyed sigh, he had began to hear that more and more now, "I tell ya what," he said with a smile, "Clothes shopping tomorrow, how about that? You don't give me a hard time and I will let you go and shop... by yourself..."
Gazelle nodded slowly. Right, Triston. She knew just how much he meant to Abel. That was part of the reason why they were stuck down here. She loved Abel and wouldn't mind staying in their cabin if she was able to get out more.
Gazelle felt a smile spread across her lips. "Really? Okay, I promise~" She gave Abel a few kisses on the lips. "Are you done eating? I can clean your plate."
@Jake
That was a severely quick change, he thought to himself, giving her a soft smile as he would move his chair back a little bit, "It's okay, I can," he would say with a smile as he stood, "I am sure you have had a long day anyway..."
He gave her a wink as he stood, grabbing the plate and moving towards the sink, "Speaking of which, what have you done today?"
"Well..." She thought for a moment. "I cleaned and watched a bit of TV." She said whilst grabbing a wash rag from the sink. She cleaned off the dining table as she continued. "And I finished reading my book." There wasn't much to do, but she tried to keep herself busy.
"I missed you all day, Abel." She said with another sigh. "Do you have work tomorrow? Can't you take off for at least a day?" Demons had quite the sex drive. Though, it was mainly due to their stamina and depending on the season.
@Jake
He would let the water run under the sink tap for a moment as he would begin to scrub the dish that he ate from clean as she took to cleaning the rest of the kitchen down, he almost giggled when she asked him to take the day off tomorrow, "I mean maybe," he had already decided that he was going to take the day off tomorrow, just for her, she had been cooped up her longer than she had been previously, so she did deserve sometime out, but he wanted to be playful, "What do I get if I do?"
The flirty tone could not be mistaken as he would turn around, leaning back on the sink and looking over at her.
Gazelle chuckled softly, turning to look at Abel. "What is it you're thinking, Abel?" She asked with a soft smirk. "Maybe a kiss." She teasingly said, although she knew he wanted more.
@Jake
"Come on now," he said with a smile as he looked across the room at Gazelle, "I mean, letting you go out alone AND buying you some new clothes, I think that is worth a little more than a kiss..."
He gave her a soft look as he continued to lean back against the counter.
She giggled softly, walking closer towards Abel. The space between them slowly closed. "Oh? Hm... Well, let me think." Her hand traveled down Abel's chest until it reached the barely noticeable bulge in his pants. "Maybe a blowjob? Hm? How does that sound?" Gazelle leaned in to kiss Abel on the lips passionately. "I think you deserve one after all the hard work you've been putting in. Besides, it's been a little while since we've been... So intimate."
@Jake(edited)
"Umm, a blowjob would be nice," he would smirk through as he looked at her, she was just a small bit shorter than him, so he was able to look down on her when she moved towards him, letting her hand explore his chest and then grace across his crotch, "But, I was thinking about a little bit more. Or maybe... maybe I just sit back and let you have your way with me. Do whatever you feel like is fun..."
With that, he would let his hands move to her sides and slowly graze up and down until he would a soft spot on her hips where he gripped tightly.
Gazelle giggled again. "Will you be able to keep up with me this time?" Demons did have quite the stamina, so it was quite hard for a demon to get tired, even if they have shorter stamina than most demons. "Do we even have more condoms?" The woman looked up at Abel with a smirk.
"I mean, I guess I wouldn't mind doing it without one."
@Jake
"I mean," he gave a devilish smirk and look down at her, his hands gripping a little tighter and pulling her in, "I wouldn't have a choice if you were just taking what you want, would I? I gotta keep up then..."
"Then, lets not," when she mentioned the condom, he didn't know how he would feel about it, but he was always safe with her, what was living on the dangerous side going to hurt?
She chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. In that case, I'd love to be the one in charge this time." Sure, she loved it when Abel was dominant but whenever she was in the one in charge it excited her a lot more for some reason.
"Oh? Feeling a bit bold are we?" She teasingly asked. "Well alright then. No condoms."
@Jake
He gave her another devilish, playful smirk as she commented how bold he was and how she would love to take charge and with that, he would release her hips and move his hand in front of her, holding it daintily and letting her reach out and grab control of it, "Then take me to bed," he said with a playful accent, "And make a real boy out of me!"
"I definitely will~" She grabbed a hold of Abel's hand and lead him to their bedroom. She flicked on the light and playfully pushed Abel back first on the bed. "You know, we should also get a few more toys as well." Gazelle said as she rummaged through one of their drawers for a pair of handcuffs. She was quite the woman when she was in charge.
"Safe word?"
@Jake
It all almost happened in a flash, one second they are dancing around in the main living area, then she has him pushed down on the bed as she is rummaging through the drawer. Befor he knew it, she was almost twirling handcuffs around and looking down at him. He could only respond with another playful smirk, "River..."
He would say that because that is where he found her first, she was living near a river near the main land, a little bit from where the cabin was.
Gazelle smiled softly. "Alright then." Once she had Abel cuffed to the bed, she began to slide his pants down slowly and teasingly. She was aware that he was already growing hard, but that wasn't going to stop her from teasing him.
Gazelle threw Abel's pants to the side, leaving him in just his underwear. She began removing her dress, letting it drop to the wooden floor. She was wearing a matching set of black lingerie.
"You may regret ever letting me be in charge, Abel."
@Jake
"I am beginning to think that you had this planned out already for tonight," he said with a smile that couldn't even be surgically wiped away, "Seeing as you are wearing that amazing outfit underneath your dress, Ms. Granny Panties Are My Comfort..."
A slight tease back to here was something that he thought would be fun here. But, when she said he might regret letting her be in charge, he shook his head, "No chance in the nine hells, this is going to be amazing..."
His arousal was explained even more by the ever growing bulge in his now exposed boxers. The tight fitting nature leaving nothing to the imagination.
Gazelle smiled softly. "Granny Panties? Oh,please. Maybe clothing shopping isn't your strong suit, Abel." She teasingly said. "I just happened to be wearing a matching set today is all."
She straddled herself on Abel's lap. She could feel just how hard he was underneath his underwear. "Maybe I won't even let you cum tonight." She said with a devilish smirk.
@Jake
"Oh, no..." he said with a frown, "I mean, if you cum that is all that I need..."
He gave her another devilish smirk as he would clinch himself, making his own cock twitch under her as he felt the fabric of the two's underwear meet.
"Hmm... If your a good boy, then maybe I'll think about it long and hard." She said with a snicker before leaning in to kiss Abel on the lips.
She deepened the kiss, her hands made its way under his shirt and up his chest. She hadn't known how she was so lucky to score with someone like Abel. He was a human, which was looked down upon by humans. Hell, even demons were against being in a relationship with their prey. But Gazelle didn't think of Abel as food. She loved him dearly.
@Jake
Watching her, he couldn't help a soft moan that would escape his lips as her lips made contact with his. She always had a unique flavor to her lips, something sweet, interesting, enticing. He would admit that he had other girls in the past, but she was nothing like human women, she was enchanting...
His hands couldn't help but struggle against the cuffs that now surrounded them, clinging off the posts of the bed. He had wanted to touch her in the moment, but he was immediately brought back to the reality that he couldn't.
Gazelle's tongue explored Abel's mouth. Due to her unique ability of extending her tongue, she often did it... Though, only when they're intimate like this. Maybe not when they were making out though. She didn't want to choke him.
"I want you to eat me out, Abel~" She said in a seductive tone after breaking their kiss. "Maybe I'll even give this cock of yours some attention as well."
@Jake
His tongue would instinctially go out to meet hers as they collided inside of his mouth, the warm taste of her leaving traces of pleasure that seem to sip down his entire body in the moment. His eyes would close as he would just enjoy the taste of her until she would break away, seductively telling him that she wanted him to eat her out. He could only smile as he would almost growl, "Then sit on my face..."
Gazelle turned around, her bottom inched close to Gazelle's face. She pulled down her panties, revealing her soaked wet pussy. "I don't want to suffocate you, Abel." She said with a snicker. "Are you sure you can handle me?"
Her hand reached under Abel's underwear, feeling up on his length. He was pretty big compared to a demon.
@Jake
As he watched her turn her body around, her ass facing towards him, his body was almost shaking and his mouth salavating at the chance to taste he. As she began to maneuver her panties away from herself, he could feel his hands cling against the railings of the bed as all he wanted to do was grab her and pull her in, but as soon as she was close enough, his head would dive into her. His tongue instinctially reaching out and lapping at her wetness, taking her taste in as he let out a soft moan when she grabbed his length.
She let out one loud moan, startled by how sudden eager Abel seemed to be. His tongue worked wonders on her pussy and she couldn't deny it. Her erotic juices were mixed with Abel's saliva. "Fuck~" She moaned out, shaking her hips teasingly. Gazelle then pulled down her lover's underwear fully to expose his already hardened cock. She loved his unique smell. She didn't hesitate any longer to wrap her mouth around his tip. It was her favorite part to tease before going any further, which Abel had already known.
@Jake
Even unwashed and coming in from a hard days work, Gazelle still found him appealing, which just drove him wild everytime that he was in this situation with her. Her loud moan and the fuck that escaped her lips only hastened his need for her. As she wrapped her lips around his length, he could only give a soft moan as his lips parted. His tongue already moving ever closer to her again, lapping at her juices, feeling them move across his taste buds.
Gazelle's head bobbed as she sucked on her partners tip. It was hard for her to concentrate due to the pleasure she was receiving on the other end. She finally took in more of his length, all four inches of her tongue making work with Abel's cock. Her saliva coated his length, making it easier for it to slide down her throat. She had little to no gag reflex so she could take in all of Abel without too much of a struggle.
@Jake
His hands still bound, his head would almost jerk his body forward as he would continue to push his tongue across every intimate fold of her lower lips. Softly and slowly, finally finding the spot that he wanted as he would find her button, her clit, that pulsed with almost every movement of his tongue. All he could do is smirk to himself, "I thought you wanted me to eat you out," he would jokingly say as he moved forward, tasting her again, "Then why don't you stop worrying about me, sit back on my face and let me make you cum!?"
Gazelle felt a jolt run up her body once Abel found her clit. It was her most sensitive spot aside from her nipples. She removed her lips from her lover's cock momentarily. "I thought I was the one in charge here." She said with a soft chuckle. "Since you seem so eager, then fine." She pushed her self up closer against Abel's face. She didn't hesitate any longer to make his face her seat, and knowing Abel he loved every bit of it.
@Jake
And love it he did, smirking at the thought that she really thought she was going to be in charge here, he would comfort himself as she moved backwards onto him, she was almost sitting with her full weight straddled across him and he couldn't have been more excited about it. He looked up at her with a smile, and in a muffled tone between her thighs he gave a soft moan as he would let his tongue jet into her as quickly and deeply as possible as he lapped around the juices.
She gripped onto the bedsheets, loud moans erupted from her throat. She was in complete pleasure and couldn't contain her pleasured moans. She was already growing closer to an orgasm with how eager Abel's tongue seemed to be moving inside of her. Never did she think that a human would be able to bring her to such sexual pleasure. At least not until she met Abel.
@Jake
He had learned several tricks with Gazelle, ones that seemed to send her over the edge and almost too quickly. He loved to play with her as she was almost insatiable at times, he loved that about her. He never knew that he would be fucking around with a demon like that, but he loved every bit of it. His sexual desires definitely were on par with hers. So much so, that when his tongue met her clit again, he could feel her almost exploding and gripping him around him.
It didn't take long at all for her to finally reach climax. Her juices overflowed and her body spasmed, trying to recover from such an intense orgasm. She was sure that Abel was soaked in her juices. She was more of a squirter after all. She removed her bottom from Abel's face. Despite the many times they've done this, she was still worried that she'd suffocate her lover with her weight.
@Jake
As she would climax, he would indeed feel her warm, erotic juices flowing all over his face, almost to the point that they were dripping from onto the pillow where he rested his head. He gave a pitiful moan when she began to move, almost one of despair, "Don't move," he would almost growl playfully, "I was just beginning to have some real fun..."
Gazelle giggled softly. "But I want more~" She said in a seductive tone as she guided a finger up Abel's shaft. "I can't wait any longer. I want your cock so badly, Abel." And she'd be more than happy to show it. "I'll use your cock until I'm satisfied, alright?" The woman smirked devilishly.
@Jake
"Please do," he would agree with a sheepish nod as he looked down at her, giving a soft moan to the finger along his shaft, "Please..."
He smiled at her as he watched what her next movement would be.
Gazelle got up from the bed and rummaged through their drawer once more. She pulled out a cock ring. She enjoyed using it on Abel. "Alright then since you asked so nicely. She slid the ring all the way down his cock. "But you don't get to cum unless I allow you."
@Jake
"And if I do?" He decided to pull out the card she had used on him on too many times before when he would be truly in control, but added a soft smirk with it.
"Hm... Then I won't have sex with you for an entire month." Gazelle said in a serious tone, although she didn't mean it. She would be unable to keep her hands off of him for so long.
She straddled herself on his lap, his cock rubbed against her ass. He was still rock hard which wasn't a surprise.
@Jake
"I guess I better..." he said as he was responding, but as he did, she began to slide herself across her ass, a loud moan would interrupt the two, "Hold it in then, huh?"
She knew every button to push and every sensitive part to play with...
"Yeah, you'll have to hold all of it in~" She said with a chuckle. Of course she'd reward her partner with an orgasm, but for now she wanted to tease him for a while. "You can do that, can't you?"
@Jake
Abel stared up at her with a devilious smirk as he would nod his head in agreement, "I sure can," he said, "Just make sure you make every last movement count..."
He gave her a smile as he waited to see her next move.
"Oh, shut up, Abel." She playfully said with the roll of her eyes. She used her hand to position his cock at the entrance of her hole, slowly pushing it inside. Her walls were tight around his length despite just how wet she was.
Gazelle took a short while to adjust to his size before riding him slowly and sensually. She leaned down to plant kisses on her lover's inviting lips.
(If you do ever want to skip the sex scene, just go ahead lol
@Jake
(Same to you, friend, you just let me know, but I am okay with playing them out!)
Abel felt her adjust herself around, it was almost interesting how her body seemed to completely relax around him as he would begin to slowly slide in and out of her. Feeling her kisses fall to his lips and the soft embrace she gave was inviting as well. He couldn't help but feel himself continuing to fall deeper and deeper into her and her love. He smiled as he could feel every bit of pleasure rushing around his very senstive member.
Gazelle did have quite the erotic body and she knew just as well. She loved it when she and Abel made love to one another even if they didn't have sex as often as they'd like. He did work quite a lot, but she could only appreciate everything he's done for the both.
She finally decided to speed up the pace a bit. Everytime their bodies moved in sync, causing such an erotic sound to be heard. Gazelle's moans were muffled due to her lips being busy against Abel's
(Ok! So do I lol
@Jake
He could feel the pleasure all over his body, not just from those most senstive areas. He didn't know what kind of hold she had on him, but he knew it was in deep because he felt his body tensing with every motion of her lips around his shaft. He tried his best to hold it together, but with her pace it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to remain composed. His body almost aching for a release at this point, and he didn't care if it was his or hers, but he wanted hers to be the first.
Gazelle was already growing desperate from relief. She wanted to cum... But part of her didn't want to cum without Abel. But she did tell her lover not to cum without her permission. "A... Are you close yet?" She asked, breaking their kiss momentarily. It was obvious that she desired it by the impatient tone in her voice.
@Jake
He felt his body twitch and tingle underneath her, she had all the power, but her voice spoke up and he could almost hear the rattle in it. She was feeling the exact thing he was and he couldn't help the devilish smirk and look that came, "Regretting that decision now?" he said with a smile, "About not letting me cum? Fuck... I am close..."
She was too focused on her approaching orgasm to even care about Abel's teasing at the moment. She was lost in the pleasure, soft moans filling their bedroom. "I'm close too..." She bit at her bottom lip. "Just cums with me! Forget about what I said earlier."
@Jake
"I guess I won," he would say with a snicker that was quickly replaced by a loud moan as she slide back down his shaft once more, "Fuck, you want me to fill you up? You want me to... fuck..."
With that loud moan and his body twitching under her, his shaft would begin to spew. Load after load of pearly white seed fill up her insides as he looked up at her, never bring eye contact, watching her orgasm as well.
"Yes... Yes, I want you to fill me up~" She moaned out, keeping the same pace as the two were growing even closer to their climax. "Please." She leaned down to kiss Abel on the lips once more.
Gazelle moaned out once more as Abel filled her up with his cum. Her body spasmed after her own orgasm, squirting over her lover's cock.
@Jake
He felt her warm juices almost flowing over top of him as his body would continue to twitch and spasm under her. He couldn't help but feel the love of the moment just wash over him, "Holy shit," he would mutter under her, "That was... holy shit..."
He looked up at her, their eyes catching, "You are amazing..."
Gazelle could still feel Abel's cum deep inside of her pussy. She loved that feeling and definitely wanted more. She looked down at her lover before she quickly leaned in to kiss him.
"I want to go again~" She said with a giggle. Demons had quite the stamina, surprisingly. "Do you think you can handle another round, hm? I may even take the cuffs off."
@Jake
"You are insatiable," he would laugh with a smile, as he would look up at her, his pulsing cock still inside of her, "I am down for another round, just let me lead now..."
He smiled as he looked upat her with a smile, waiting for her to undo the cuffs. Once her hands had separated him, he would almost move his hips with a speed that threw them off the bed. He would catch her just quick enough to put her under him before he would look down, letting his hand grasp her cheek, pulling her head up to him with a kiss. His tongue would reach out and begin to move between her lips....
However, they were interrupted by the sounding of a knocking on the door... which quickly turned to a banging and a familiar voice to the duo would echo...
"Abel, come quick!" the voice groaned and almost growled, "Val's been hurt!"
Gazelle giggled softly, removing the cuffs from Abel's wrists. Despite such an intense orgasm, she still longed for even more. She knew Abel was older than she was... So she tried not to tire him out so much. But sometimes she just couldn't help herself.
She let out a loud moan filled with nothing but pleasure and desire as her lover thrusted so deep inside. Whenever he was in charge... It felt so much better. "Mmpf- Fuck~" She managed to moan out, her pussy clenched tightly around her partners cock.
She was startled once she heard the sound of a knock on their front door. She hadn't been paying enough attention to hear them approaching from afar. Demons had very keen hearing.
"Abel who is that? And why the hell do they know where we live?" She asked in a worried tone. What if their relationship was found out?"
@Jake
(Sorry. Workingg
Abel knew the voice, he just didn't know why they were here. He would look up at Gazelle when he heard the voice, and his eyes would almost read panic before he blinked and then he settled into action. As Abel would move from under Gazelle, he would stand, beginning to move towards the door, pulling his jeans that he had slipped off before back over top of him.
"You stay here," he whispered to her in almost a growl, "You stay hidden. Do not come out for anything. You understand...?"
Gazelle was hesitant to respond, quickly putting on her clothes. What is happening? "But- Abel." She whispered, furrowing her eyebrows. "Fine." Was against the thought of staying behind, but she knew how Abel was. "Don't forget to get rid of the thing in the living room." Gazelle said, referring to the dead body. The two were too busy for her to eat. Besides, she preferred doing so when Abel was asleep.
@Jake
"Shit," he would say as he would turn the corner of the door, slamming the door shut behind him, "One minute, John."
His voice would scream out as he looked towards the door, the body laying against the door still, but the temperature of the room keeping it still. He would grasp the body, quickly throwing it over his shoulder with a grunt before walking over to the kitchen. Without much of a notion, he would reach down to a spot in the floor right below the sink and hit a button which unlatched a trap door. Without much thought, he would dump the body into the trap door and a thud would be heard as he shut it back before moving to the door.
"John," he said as he opened the door, stepping outside and closing the door behind him, "I told you never to come..."
His words were stopped as the man looked at him directly, his eyes watering, a baby... A small child held in his hands looked up at him as well, its skin was almost white, "Val... She... she got taken by one of those things... I found her, but she... she is too far gone."
Gazelle could hear the commotion going on. Her keen hearing was very useful, but could also be a huge disadvantage if used right. She could hear the sound of a small child as well. She wondered why Abel would give their address to someone, especially knowing the consequences of them finding out about their forbidden relationship. They could be captured and even worse; killed.
@Jake
Abel would continue to look over the two of them, the crying father, this wimpering child, "My wife... she wants nothing to do with her when she turns..." The father said, "I can't... I can't... do it. I can't put her down..."
Abel would only look at John, stern eyes to follow, "Please, Abel... I am asking you as a friend..."
Abel would look at him softly, not giving a nod or even a word as he reached out and touched the child. The child would hiss towards him, but not move to strike. Perhaps too weak.
Abel mouthed just two words, "Leave... coward..."
With this, Abel would enter the house again, slamming the door behind him as he did.
Gazelle came out of hiding instantly once the stranger left. She had quite the upset look on her face. "Why would you do that?!" She questioned, though obviously demanding an answer. "They needed help- and you just pushed them away." Not only that, but the child that was going to be killed by it's father. If it were up to Gazelle, she'd take the child in a heartbeat. "How could you do that, Abel? They had a child."(edited)
As Abel would stand in front of the door, his back to the door, he would sigh softly before he would begin to turn around. The child was in his arms, he would look up at Gazelle as he did, "I don't know what can be done here..."
He looked down at the child, a soft hiss was continuing to be emitted from their lips, but the color was continuing to drain from their face as well, "It got bit by one of them..."
Gazelle was quite startled seeing the child in Abel's arms. Despite being a demon, she had never been around many of her own kind. Nor had she seen a baby that had been turned into a demon.
The child was pale and it was obvious that it had went long without food. Babies required nutrition far more often than a teen or adult demon. "Oh my God..." She mumbled softly to herself, though obviously in awe. "The baby is starving, Abel." Luckily Gazelle hadn't touched the dead corpse yet. "Is it... A boy or girl?" She questioned.
@Jake
"Does it matter at this point?" He would say with an almost annoyed sigh, "We have to get rid of this thing... Who knows what bit her or..."
Before he could continue with his sentence, the softest mumble of a word escaped its lips, "Dadddddddddy..."
A tear would form in its eyes...
"Get rid?" Gazelle furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Why would you... Why would you want to do that? It's just a child." Maybe it was because Gazelle had always longed to have children, though she'd never bring it up with Abel. She knew that there would be big risks of them having a child. And besides, she didn't want to be selfish.
Gazelle was surprised to hear the child call for it's father. Gazelle felt pity for her. "Please Abel. Let's just- nurse her back to health and then we can talk more about this, okay?"
@Jake
"Nurse her back to..." Abel repeated back, a confused look crossing his face, "They... what are you talking about, Gazelle!?"
He looked down at the baby, the features, the face, was it a gril as she referred too...?
With that, the baby would look directly at Gazelle... "Mommmmmmmyyyyyyy..."
Gazelle quickly made her way closer to Abel, gently and carefully taking the child from his arms. She didn't think that she'd ever be called 'mommy' before. She felt a shiver run up her spine hearing such a word.
The child didn't hiss at Gazelle, mainly because they were the same species. "She called me mommy, Abel." She exclaimed. "I can help her... We can help her. Once she's fed, she'll feel a whole lot better. She's been starved, and that much is obvious."
@Jake
As Gazelle would approach, she would almost as quickly take the kid from his arms, "We don't know anything about this thing, Gazelle," he tried to talk sense into her, "And it wasn't referring to you as mommy. It was just calling for its parents from its human side. What are we..."
With that, he would look up at her, holding the baby. The baby did look calmer, somehow, "Seriously, we can't do this..."
"Seriously, Abel?" She scowled at him. "She isn't a thing." She corrected him, making her way into the kitchen. "Why are you acting like this? Do you not have any sympathy? She's just a baby! What? Would it be different if we were handed a human child instead of a demon?" She didn't understand why Abel was being like this. She didn't like it not one bit.
"What are we going to do then? She'll just be killed, or worse used as an experiment by those asshole scientists."
"Open the trap door, Abel. I'm going to feed her."
@Jake
"It wouldn't be any different if it was a human child that was hissing at me and biting at things..." he would angrily shout, following her into the kitchen and standing over the hatch, knowing what she is going for, "Don't you fucking forget that I saved you! I brought you back here and made sure that you were taken care of! If it was the same situation with this child, I would have done the same thing, but it is not a child anymore... It is a bitten demon!"
"I am not opening the door," he would say with a foot stepping directly over the panel, "We don't know what it is going to do..."
(Feel free to play as the kid to convince him otherwise... :))
The child began to sob, quite startled by the loud shouting. For a demon, it was much louder than it sounded to a human.
Gazelle averted her eyes from Abel and onto the child in her arms. She rocked the baby in her arms slowly, cooing.
"Seriously, Abel? I didn't ask you to save me. I didn't ask you to take care of me! I can do all of it on my own! The only reason I'm here is because I love you!"
"Fine. I'll just go and hunt." She threatened. "I'm more then capable of doing so on my own."
(Okayy
@Jake
"Gazelle, you can't leave..."
He said with almost a groan, "You can't go out there. What if something or someone followed them? The scent of the kid? What if the father sees you with the child? You can't..."
He looked down at the ground and back at her, "You are right, you didn't stay because I made you, but I don't want anything to happen to do you. What if it is a feral? Huh? What if it bites you...?"
"I don't care if she bites me, Abel." She was getting tired of hearing Abel refer to the child as a 'it'. "I can teach her. I've always wanted to-" She cut her sentence short. She didn't want to drop the bomb on Abel that she had always wanted a child of her own. "Just let me take care of her Abel. I know you don't want her, but I do."
The baby was continuing to grow weaker. If she went any longer without food, she'd die. Gazelle wouldn't be able to live with herself if that were to happen.
"If you won't open the door, then I will leave. We don't have to keep her for long, okay? Just until we can find someone that can take her in."
The child used the small ounce of strength it had left to extend their arms out towards Abel. The childs skin had visible cracks, which was expected of a demon that hadn't eaten in so long.(edited)
"Who is going to take a feral demon in..." He stopped himself at the end of the sentence before correcting himself, almost calming himself immediately, "Me... I took a demon in..."
He sighed as he looked at her. Her eyes had a fire in them... but behind that fire, he could see a geniune concern for this little one. She had talked to him before about how she had wanted kids, but he knew that it might never happen for her. This kid was staring them both in the face right now and he was pushing them both away. He almost felt ashamed. He would step off the latch for the door and move to the counter, not saying a word.
Gazelle let out a relieved sigh once Abel stepped off of the latch. "Thank you. I don't want you to watch me feed her, Abel. You know how I feel about eating in front of you as well, so could you please give us some time alone?" She questioned.
She pressed the button to open the trap door.
@Jake
Abel watched her, he knew what she had to do and knew in the moment that he didn't want to be involved. He sighed as he just looked out the window of the cabin, "Everything is how you left it down there..."
"Okay." She mumbled softly. She wanted to talk to Abel, but knew she'd have plenty of time to do so later. She knew that he was conflicted about this entire situation.
After making her way down to what she called her 'feeding room', the child instantly whined in desperation once she could smell the body.
Demons didn't need to eat frequently like humans did. An adult demon would only need to feed once every two or three weeks if they pushed their body far enough. Though, a child would need to eat more frequently. Luckily they didn't need too much to grow full, maybe just part of a limb. Though, most demons ate freely. Some even cooked human parts, which most demons considered gourmets.
(I'll spare the deets and skip a little)
After they fed, Gazelle put the remains in an empty garbage bag. Luckily there were a few in her so-called- feeding room. She made sure to tie it tightly before making her way back up with the child.
"It'll take a few hours for her color to come back and whatnot, but she's doing much better now." She told Abel. The baby had already managed to fall asleep.
@Jake
This was not how her little life was suppose to go, but she had no idea of that. As Gazelle would unravel this child, she would also find that both the hands and feet of the kid were bound. But, the age of the child as well, somewhere between 12 months and 16 months, prevented it from moving very quickly in its ways either. Abel would have been overly cautious if he had just took the time to look her over.
As Gazelle would place her down, she would feed as normal, but taking time to inspect, the baby would have been bitten indeed before the father, or mother, the story wasn't full, stepped in. There was a clear bite mark in the leg of the baby that seemed to be flaring in an apparent change, but seemed to stop at the leg.
As Gazelle would return up the stairs, Abel had barely moved. Just enough to grab a beer from the fridge. He didn't turn around, only giving a grunt of approval at the notion that she was asleep.
"Abel, what's wrong?" She questioned with a soft sigh. While the child was still asleep, she removed her bounds. Sure, the child was now a demon... But she was just a small child. "Do you know her name?" Gazelle couldn't forgive this child's parents for just giving up on their daughter. But part of her understood why. If they were to be caught with a demon, they'd be captured and murdered. It was a law that was to be followed under no circumstances.
"Did you expect me to just throw her out? Obviously you felt sympathy when you brought her in. You didn't have to do so." But of course she wouldn't be able to forgive him.
@Jake
"Liv..." he said with almost a scowl in him, "Fitting name isn't it...?"
"I didn't expect you to throw her out, but you know, even more than I do," he said with a growl of concern, "Ferals don't make good people... Hell, they don't make good pets, they don't even make good target practice..."
His words were harsh, cutting, but true... "And what do we intend to do if she does turn feral? You are attached now... You know how this works?"
"She isn't feral." She corrected Abel with a scowl. "She's just... Freshly turned. She doesn't know any better, Abel. All newborn demons are going to be... Weary. Even moreso since their vulnerable." She explained.
She chuckled softly to herself. Liv was definitely a beautiful name.
"I'm not attached." She scoffed. "You're acting as though you have a stick up your ass. It's good that she ended up in our hands instead of someone else's."
@Jake
He didn't understand why she felt so attached to the kid, but he did get why she fought so hard to save it. Who wouldn't for a little kid if they didn't know better, but it annoyed him because she did know better.
"You are right," he said with a sigh, "But, are you prepared to kill a baby if you need too?"
Gazelle was quiet for a long while before replying. "I can't kill a child." She simply said. "I won't kill a child." She sighed softly. "And she won't become feral, I'll make sure of it." It was much easier said than done of course.
"Can't you just let me enjoy this? Even if it is for a short while."
@Jake
"How can you be sure, Gazelle?" He would ask, an almost panic in his voice as he did, "How can you be certain that she won't...?"
Her next question would almost stop his complaints and worries in their track, why couldn't he let her enjoy this? She had talked about being a mother before, this was a chance, but surely it was not safe...
He sighed as he looked at the floor then back up at her, "The moment things go sideways, I am stepping in..."
"Because I am also a demon, Abel!" She quickly quieted her voice down, not wanting to awaken the child. "I know what it's like to be one. And I know what it's like to also be pushed away and looked down upon by others."
"Fine." She said, a bit of relief in her tone of voice. She was happy that Abel was finally coming around. "When I go shopping tomorrow, I'll leave her here with you... If that's fine. I don't know if it'll be a good idea to bring her out in public just yet. Who knows how she'll react."
"Ah, I'll also have to stop by the library as well." She mumbled quietly to herself. She didn't know anything about parenting and wanted to do research on raising a child. Though of course, there was no book on how to raise a demon child.
"You'll have to do hunting more often, Abel." It was better to tell him now than later. "She's... Still a baby. She'll often get hungry."
@Jake(edited)
"When you go shopping..." he said as he would let her finish, "You will have to lock her up because I am not letting you go to town by yourself..."
He looked down at the baby, the baby was sleeping with a bit of a snore in the minutes that followed between the two.
"What?" She groaned. "You promised I could! And why would I lock her up? She isn't an animal!" Gazelle folded her arms against her chest.
Part of her did feel a bit guilty. She was being selfish keeping the child around. It was likely that she would end up going feral. A human turned demon didn't always go well at all. "I am not a child, Abel. I can go to town by myself."
@Jake
"I promised that you could go in the store by yourself," he said with a raised eyebrow as she would continue to look at him, "Because we don't know if she is going to turn feral, Gazelle, she could turn at anytime and we don't want to come back to that..."
"I know you can go to town by yourself," he said with a sigh, "I don't trust the people in town. Its not you..."
She let out an annoyed sigh. She understood where Abel was coming from. It was dangerous for her to go out alone be she was honestly tired of having to be watched over. "She won't turn feral, so stop saying that." She demanded in a stern tone.
"Fine." She mumbled, obviously dissatisfied with this. "So how the hell are we going to sleep tonight?" She asked before turning to look back at the sleeping child.
@Jake
"Good question," he said with a worried look on his face, Abel had no idea what the next steps would be, but she would need to be contained overnight while they sleep, "I don't have a playpen or a crib obviously... She can't be left with the freezer stuff... I don't know..."
She sighed softly. "I'll just watch her for now. I can stay awake." She wanted Abel to get his rest at least. Definitely after all the work he did today. She was sure that she could hold off without sleep for a night. Besides, she could keep herself occupied.
@Jake
Abel watched her for a moment, sighed before he would nod his head, he couldn't believe that all of this would be happening. However, what if she did wake up in a fit in the middle of the night?
Abel couldn't stop his brain from thinking in the moment. He would find his way over to a chair in the living area, finding a seat and just watching the child for a moment.
Gazelle sighed softly, sitting down on the couch close to the child. She and Abel sat in complete silence for a short while. "What's on your mind, Abel?" She already had a good hunch as to what. Abel was always worrying and preparing for the worst.
"If it's bothering you this much... Then I can settle with giving her away to someone. Someone that will actually be able to raise her." Of course, the only "people" that came to mind were demons. "I should have considered your feelings more in such a matter like this."
@Jake
"You have always wanted to be a mother, Gazelle," he would say with a bit of sadness in his voice, "I have never or will never be able to give you that, I think..."
He looked at the kid, "This child would be a miracle, a blessing even," he would feel his eyes mist slightly, "But, fuck, she is feral... Something got to her..."
Gazelle felt as though a lump was forming in her throat. She had always wanted to be a mother... And well, demons and humans weren't likely to conceive with one another. It was an extremely rare occasion. "That's not true, Abel."
"This feels like a horrible joke by God." She said with a soft chuckle. "Why couldn't we have been handed a healthy baby?" She mumbled.
@Jake
"I don't know..." he said as he looked at the ground, "I don't know..."
It was true that Gazelle had always wanted to be a mother, but it was not just her biological clock that was ticking. Abel knew that he was getting older, older, and older. He knew that he wouldn't be able to father a kid much longer. He knew it needed to be soon. It was almost a cruel twist of fate.
As the two would sit there, he would look over at the child as she would slowly open her eyes and look at the two of them. A soft cry would begin, not unlike a human child wanting their mother or father...
"Abel, we still have time." She assured. "Just stop worrying so much, okay?" Gazelle knew very well that Abel was only growing older. Of course, he could be turned into a demon... But Gazelle wanted Abel to live his life as a human. Even if it meant that their time together wouldn't be very long.
Gazelle had reacted quickly once she heard Liv begin to cry. She picked up the child, cradling her in her arms as she silently rocked her.
"I'll still be fine if it's just the two of us, Abel. It's safer that way anyways, right?"
@Jake
"God, I just wish she was old enough to actually talk," he would groan for a moment as he looked over at her for the second, cradling the child, "You... you look really nice as a mom..."
After a short while, Liv had stopped crying. She looked up at Gazelle with curiosity and warmth in her eyes. It was hard to believe that a child like this was destined for a horrible fate. It made her stomach churn. "You think so?" She chuckled softly. "I wonder what you'd be like as a dad."
@Jake
"Probably too damn strict and a realllll hard ass," he would jokingly say as he wiped a tear away, he would stand cautiously approaching the two of them, "Liv... Ironic, huh?"
Gazelle giggled softly. "Sometimes strict is good." She shrugged. "I guess it is." She looked up at Abel, signaling him to come closer with a nod. "She isn't going to bite you, Abel." She rolled her eyes.
@Jake
Abel looked down at her, the girl was wide awake now and he could finally see her complextion coming back as well as some features that were hidden with the heavy clothing and wraps. Her hair was in brown locks, almost curls that bounced, they were short, but she was definitely going to be a curly headed one. He smiled as he let his finger wave at her, a soft smile from her.
"She's so beautiful." Gazelle said in awe. "I wonder what our child would look like. I have a feeling they'd have your attitude." She giggled softly. "And of course our good looks~"
@Jake
"She would definitely have all of your beauty," He said with a giggle, "Probably my bad attitude, I agree..."
With that, Liv would look up at Gazelle, gripping her finger slightly, pulling it to her mouth. For a moment, Abel was worried, but hearing the sounds of babbling and slobber would ease his tensions.
Gazelle nodded kindly at that. That was definitely true. "You do have a bad attitude. I don't know how I've put up with it for so long." She teasingly said.
She smiled down at Liv, allowing her to toy with her finger. Gazelle wasn't afraid of the child and knew it wasn't just any regular one. There would be risks taking care of a demon child. Especially a human child that had been turned into one.
@Jake
He sighed for a moment, "We also have the issue that this child still has actual parents too," he would just being to think out loud, "Even if they report the baby missing, it could be months or years before they even stop searches for her..."
Gazelle nodded. "Yeah, well I doubt they're ever come looking for her. They'll probably think she's dead." She shrugged her shoulders. "No one is going to come looking for a demon child."
@Jake
"But, still, it won't help our causes if they search here or see us in town and find the baby..."
He sighed for a moment again, seems like this night has just been full of sighs. He looked up for a moment to an old shed that the cabin had... "I wonder..."
He would excuse himself for a moment and move to put on his clothes... "If I am not mistaken, before my grandparents passed and left this cabin to the family, there was old kids stuff in the shed. Seems like we are gonna need it possibly..."
Gazelle looked up at Abel, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean?" She knew that they'd need to provide stuff for the baby, but she was surprised to hear that there were things in the shed.
"Do you want me to come with you? It is pretty late out."
@Jake
"You should stay here with the kid..." he said, almost trusting her in the moment to be alone with her again, "I will go and get it. If I am not mistaken, it should be an easy grab."
With that, he would put on his heavy shirt and over jacket, taking the trek out into the snow. The snow had finally let up, but the cold had not. It was still probably sitting between 10-20 degrees in the upper United States at this point. The chill would run across him, but he would make his way to the shed. Opening the door with a hefty push as snow had banked around the door, he would be greeted with the smell of older things. But, he would stand in the door way, looking with the limited light he had from an old flashlight in his jacket pocket.
It took him maybe ten minutes of searching, but he found what he wanted. A box that was labeled, "Boy's old toys" and a small pack and play that was still in the original box. They were dusty and looked to be dirty, but a quick cleaning of both and they would be good to could for Liv. He would return to the house maybe 20 minutes later, shivering.
"Alright. Be safe now, okay?" She watched as Abel left their cabin. She kept Liv occupied, walking around their small cabin with the baby in her arms. She was happy that she and Abel were given the opportunity to raise a child. Sure, they could have had a child of their own but she knew how Abel felt about it. He was only growing older and felt that he wouldn't be around long enough to raise a child.
"You must be freezing." She stated with a soft giggle. "What took you so long?"
@Jake
"This stupid light," he said with a laugh as he would take the small light and chuck it in the open trash can near the door, "No light whatsoever coming from it, but everything got locked back up. And I found these..."
He would pull the boxes in. A brown box full of older toys, action figures, toy guns and small stuffed animals and the small pack and play, "Maybe we can get these cleaned up to be used tonight?"
She watched as he opened the boxes, revealing the many different toys and stuffed animals. They obviously hadn't been used in quite some time. "Yeah, that'd be great. I'm sure she'd enjoy playing with them." She smiled softly.
"Maybe I should go clothes shopping for her tomorrow as well. It is winter after all, so I want her to be warm."
@Jake
"Yeah..." he would say as he would begin to clean the toys and play pen for the time being, looking at the clock, "It is getting late, huh?"
He sighed as he looked over at her, "You are free to do whatever you need to do tomorrow, Gazelle," he said with a smile, "I am sorry for earlier... I just don't want anything to happen to you..."
"Yeah, it really is." She replied, checking the time on the clock mounted on the wall. It was almost 12AM at night. "You should get some rest, old man~" she teasingly said.
"It's... Fine." She assured. "But it's like you forget that I'm able to protect myself. I've been only own a while before I met you. I know what it's like,"
@Jake
"I just don't want anyone to take you away from me," he would say with a little bit too much quickness, "I don't want them to hurt you."
He would look at the clock, "I think I am fine for a little bit more."
About fifteen minutes later, he would have the play pen cleaned out and washed down, he was spraying with disinfectent when he would turn to Gazelle, "Ta da!"
"You don't have to worry about that, Abel. Besides, I try my best to always stay out of too much trouble." She giggled softly. "You worry too much for your own good."
She hummed in approval. "Quite the handy man, aren't you?" She teased. "It looks almost brand new. At least we won't have to stay up all night watching her." She shrugged.
@Jake
Abel smiled to himself, happy with his work as he looked down at the playpen, but he would yawn almost instinctually.
"I guess we should set up for bed now..."
"Hmm, yeah we should. But could you grab a blanket out of the closet first? I wouldn't want it to be uncomfortable for her. Of course it's only temporary, and I'm sure you wouldn't want her sleeping in the same bed as ours."
@Jake
"Sure," he would say with a smile as he would pull the playpen towards the bedroom so they can have a very close eye on her, "Have you checked her leg at all? Any spread?"
She shook her head. "No, I didn't check." She replied. "I just wonder how her parents even allowed a demon to get so close to her." It annoyed her quite a lot. "Why don't you check? She seems to trust you a bit."
@Jake
Abel would step forward, the child seemed to be bouncing and just taking in her new surroundings as she did on Gazelle's arms. As she held her, Abel would move the blanket that covered her leg, "Huh..." Abel let out an almost shocked expression, "Gazelle, look at this and tell me if this looks right to you?"
Her leg seemed to be... healing?
Abel couldn't believe what he saw.
Gazelle was just as surprised as her partner. "Healing?" Sure, demons could heal themselves, but this was different. "That's... Definitely strange." She mumbled, examining the leg for herself. "This is good news, right?"
@Jake
"I mean, its not bad news," Abel said as he looked down at the leg, "I just don't..."
The leg seemed to still have the bite mark into it, veins going around the spot seemed to still be, what they call, corrupted, but it wasn't spreading... In fact, it seemed to be reducing from last he seen it. Maybe even the smallest amount, but he was not sure.
"So, I think we need to do something with this... We should bath her and get her cleaned good first. Then I want to outline this mark..."
She nodded. "Alright. I'll give her a bath then. She doesn't have anything to wear though." She mumbled. "And what about diapers? Oh God." She sighed. "We'll have to do a lot of shopping tomorrow."
Gazelle started her way to the bathroom with Liv. She started the bath water, making sure it wasn't too hot or too cold. A perfect temperature.
@Jake
As Gazelle would move to give the baby a bath, Abel would begin to move to a bookshelf that was in the back of the living room. Searching through the numerous books that were there, he would find the book that he was looking for. It was a book that had no title and the cover was blank, but the information he seeked was in that book. Pulling it open, he would thumb through the pages as he would see demons, ferals, succubuses, and all kinds of other demons pop through until he found the page that he was looking for, infections, he would read through for a moment.
Gazelle undressed the child and put her in the tub. It was filled with white soapy suds, which the child seemed to find quite enjoyable. She was just a child like any other even if she is a demon.
She grabbed a wash towel, applying soap to it before she scrubbed the child down gently. She didn't want to irritate her skin.
"The least that friend of yours could have done was at least give us some of her things." She spoke out loud so Abel could hear. "Why'd you give him our address anyways? And yet you speak of being careful."
@Jake
"So, John was very similar to me in a way," Abel would say as he sat the book down, "We actually grew up together. He... well, his mom was bitten by a demon, but she never turned full feral, instead it made her go braindead. His father kept her in the basement, kept her fed and alive for so long that John thought the demonism that ravaged her was just a form of sickness that had turned her braindead..."
He stopped for a moment, putting the book down, "Well, turns out that his father was not his biological father and had actually been a shapeshifting demon. He took his mother to feed on. I found this out when we turned 18... And they hunted him down..."
"What? Really? That's... Horrible." She mumbled. "I could never imagine. I've never known my real parents before, and the ones I did have lied to me that entire time."
After bathing the child, she dried her off with a towel and wrapped her in another towel momentarily until she found some proper clothing.
"Abel, don't you ever feel guilty being in a relationship with me?" It was an unexpected question but she had been curious to know.
@Jake
"Never..." he would almost blurt out, waving his hand in front of her as if he was trying to wave off the question, "Never would I ever change a moment that we have had."
He looked down at the book again, trying to read before he would look up at her again, "The only thing that I regret is that I could not make you a mother... Sometimes, I think about doing the switch over. Becoming something like you so that we could live forever... Then I think about my family..."
Gazelle sighed softly, cradling Liv in her arms as she spoke. "No, no, no." She quickly interrupted Abel's thought about becoming a demon. "I want you to live your life as a human, Abel. Even if it means that our time together is limited. I'd feel horrible if I were to turn you." She mumbled. "Besides, you don't need to be a demon for us to have children. And well- we have Liv now. If we can keep her that is."
@Jake
"Yeah," he would give her an optimistic smile, "But..."
He would stop himself before the thought that crossed his mind came out of his mouth. What if this wound was healing? What if she was not going to switch? Do they just give her back? Where do they go from there?
"Yeah, Liv is nice, huh?" He gave her a soft smile before he would return to the book, looking up anything he could find for a healing demon bite.
"Yeah, she really is." Gazelle chuckled softly. "That John guy... Was Liv his only child?" She wanted to know more about Liv's parents. Even if it were good or bad information. "I don't understand how someone could just give their child away. I'd feel horrible for the rest of my life."
@Jake
"Last I heard, no..." he said with a sigh, "They had a family of kids. Not sure the total number, but it was well above average."
He looked up from the book, "I don't know how they would go about this. Like I said, they may say she is missing or dead or something... I am not sure what there plans are..."
He looks down at the ground with a sadness, "I don't understand how you could do it either..."
She raised an eyebrow at that. "Seriously? I know it won't be easy at all for them either to loose a sibling." She wanted to give Liv the love she deserved. It didn't matter if they were or weren't different beings.
"Just what are you reading, Abel?" She decided on changing the subject a little. "I have never seen you pick up a book." she chuckled
@Jake
Abel would sigh and give her a soft smile, she was right about the book part, "This is suppose to be the encyclopedia of demons. Something that basically tells us all the humans have to know about demons, I am looking for any mention of a bite that heals on a human and what that would mean... and honestly," he would shut the book and look up at her, "I can't find a damned thing..."
"Well, I'm not too sure myself." She sighed. "It would be great if we could just ask someone. Ah- well, I might know of someone." Gazelle took a moment to think. She had known a few demons before she met Abel, some that she even considered friends. Not all demons were horrible and cruel. Some wanted to live beside humans and blend in. "I might know someone."
@Jake
He looked at her with a curious glance, "I have seen you talk to a handful of people my entire time being here with you," he would say with a confused tone, "None of them seemed to check the boxes of demons or demons trying to be humans. Let me guess, ex boyfriend?"
He would give off a playful jealous tone as he looked over at her, a smirk emerging shortly after.
Gazelle rolled her eyes playfully. "A fuck buddy doesn't really count as a boyfriend, don't you think?" Gazelle teased. "I'm just kidding. But he's actually a demon, just one I haven't seen in a very long while since I met you. He used to be a human before he was turned by his husband."
@Jake
Abel's smug smirk and joking persona dropped when she said the words 'fuck buddy,' only for them to turn to a sour face when she said that she was only kidding. As she went on to explain how she knew this person. The gears would continue to roll in his head on how he would figure out this child. They couldn't be nameless, faceless, not registered... Surely someone would catch on...
"I am going have to make a call to that guy tomorrow, I think," he said with an uneasy tone in his voice, "You know, the one who made your identity."
"Aw, what's with the face Abel? Am I not allowed to joke either?" She rolled her eyes. "Or does it annoy you knowing that I've slept with others?" She had seen the smug smirk quickly disappear from his face. It was rather amusing.
"I can contact them." She shrugged. "I do know where he lives after all. But I guess that can wait. We should really get some rest."(edited)
"I mean, it doesn't annoy me that you had slept with others," he said, a devilish smirk growing, "Does make me want to show you who you belong too now..."
His growl that followed, followed by standing up, "Yeah, definitely sleep... We got a long day tomorrow..."
She rolled her eyes once more. "Yeah, yeah whatever Abel~." The woman said, followed by a yawn. Liv was already beginning to drift off to sleep again, so Gazelle put her in the playpen. It would suffice as something for her to sleep in tonight. Besides, she made sure it was comfortable for her.
"I'm going to brush my teeth real quick." She let out a soft sigh as she made her way into the bathroom. Sure, demons had self cleaning mouths, but she made it a habit to brush her teeth anyways.
@Jake(edited)
Once he made sure that Liv was content and was sleeping, he would follow her into the bedroom. Abel would give her a moment to take some steps of self care including brushing her teeth, but he would smile as he caught her shadow from the bathroom in the bedroom. He would walk forward, leaning on the door frame as he looked at her through the mirror, "I don't know..." he said with a smile, before beginning to walk forward, "From the reaction I got, I am not sure if you really know who you belong too?"
She picked up her toothbrush and applied a bit of toothpaste on the bristles before brushing her teeth. Demons did have pretty sharp teeth, which was expected since they did need to be able to eat their food efficiently. Gazelle then turned the water on from the sink, rinsing her mouth. "Well, I've never been imprinted on by any demon I've been with." She shrugged her shoulders, turning to face Abel. "Oh, what? Are you saying that I belong to you?" She chuckled softly.
@Jake
"I mean, that you," he would step forward, all but pinning her to the counter where the sink would sit.
"These lips..." he would let his lips move up to meet hers softly before moving back a little
"And this pussy..." HIs hand would immediately move under her robe, applying pressure to just the right spot on her underwear.
"All belong to me..."
She looked up at Abel as she was being pinned against the counter. She hadn't known what had gotten into him so suddenly, but it excited her a tad bit. Her body was quick to respond to Abel's light and teasing touches.
"Just what has gotten into you Abel Byrd?" She giggled softly. "Maybe the lack of sleep is finally getting to your head."
@Jake
"Or just maybe," he said with a smile, "Someone promised me a round two where I can be in control AND THEN, questioned who she truly belonged too... So, until you can tell me who you belong too? I am taking whats mine..."
With that, his fingers would start to move across the pressure point of her underwear, he would softly feel for the button he so wanted to push. Giving her soft and smooth motions as he did.
Gazelle was already wet from her partners fingers. Who knew just all the right spots to touch and just how to rub them. A part of her wanted to push Abel's buttons further... And another also wanted her to submit.
"Well, the thing is Abel... I don't belong to anyone." The woman bit at her bottom lip afterwards, fighting back a moan that was desperate to leave her lips.
@Jake
"Oh, is that true?" He said as he leaned in softly to her, "So, these lips don't belong to anyone?"
With that, his lips would press into hers with intent, his lips parting to make way for his tongue...
Gazelle was turned on by everything Abel said or did. The kiss was amazing, earning a soft and muffled moan out of her lips.
Her hands traveled down to Abel's hips. She broke the kiss, a string of saliva connected the two. "You want to hear me say 'you' that badly, hm?"
@Jake
"You say it," he said with a smirk as he pulled away just slightly, "And I might make it worth your while..."
While he spoke, his finger would brush aside the lining of panties, sliding a finger between the already gathering wetness of her lips before sliding a finger slowly inside of her.
She let out a soft whimper, her legs shivering from his touch. Sure, Gazelle was stubborn... But only to an extent. "Fuck... Fine." She huffed. "I belong to you. So hurry up and fuck me before I grow annoyed, Abel."
@Jake
"Damn, that is..." he said with a smirk as he moved to her ear, "Not convincing enough for me..."
He would move his hand inwards as he would squeeze her body into the counter even more. Tightening his grip on her and the space between them for a second, "Say my name," he said, "Tell the world who you belong too..."
Gazelle let out several moans, her hips moved against his fingers. She was dripping down her legs with her sweet and erotic juices. "Abel," She said half breathlessly. "I belong to you, Abel."
@Jake
"Good," he said with a devilish growl, "Good, say my name again. I love hearing it..."
He would let his finger go deeper and on the move out this time, he would insert his middle finger with it. Sliding two fingers deep, deep inside of her, curving upwards as his thumb would move to the previous spot it had been. Right on the button that was twitching with pleasure.
Gazelle glared at Abel, obviously annoyed by his constant teasing. That was her thing after all. "Now you're starting to push it, Abel." She warned before another moan erupted from her lips. That spot- the spot that he knew exactly where to touch to get the right reactions out of her. Her nipples were hard against the robe, her breast begging for attention in which she was quick to provide.
@Jake
As he would see her hands coming up and making circles around her already hard nipples, his hand would be quick to follow. He would swat away from her left side, his free hand grasping at it while his mouth would fall to her right, making swirling motions with his tongue around her nipple. Sucking it in softly before nipping it gently with his teeth in a repeating motion. He had all the bases covered now, he was smiling into all of this as well.
She let out a startled gasp once her hand hat been swatted away from her breast. She loved the sight of seeing Abel suck on her breast, especially being he knew exactly what to do. She gripped gently onto his hair as he continued going to work on her sensitive nipples. "You.. couldn't have waited until I got to the bedroom?" Gazelle managed to say before another moan left her lips.
@Jake
"Who said I wanted to wait till I got to the bedroom," he said with the samer growl that he had used for the whole interaction, "Maybe I wanted to take you right..."
He would apply pressure to her clit, slowly increasing the speed of his fingers moving in and out of her, "Or maybe I just leave you a cumming mess right here, right now, and walk away..."
"You're such an asshole.." She mumbled, although she meant it as only a joke. Sometimes Abel really could be a pain in the ass.
She didn't want to admit just how much hornier his comments were making her. She was already a sopping wet mess around his fingers, but she wanted something more.
@Jake
He watched her for a moment, letting his mouth switch from her right side to her left, but it would leave the left side open for the moment, but he would look up at her, "Oh, darling... I am your asshole... And you are my dirty little slut..."
He smirked as he looked up at her, but could see in her eyes she wanted more. He knew he was in a position that he liked so he would continue to push it, "What is it, love? Use your words like the big girl you are..."
Gazelle looked away from her lover's gaze. She could hardly hold herself up against the counter with her weak in the knees she felt. "What do you mean? I have nothing at all to say." She said stubbornly. She knew sooner or later Abel would finally give in and give her what not only what she desired- but what he wanted as well.
@Jake
"Good," he would say with a smirk, "I guess I can just keep doing this until you are a puddle on the floor then..."
He would give her a sigh, but continue to move his finger in a constant motion, never slowing, never speeding, just constant. However, he could feel the restrain against himself as his cock would begin to stiffen in his jeans, almost busting against the zipper.
"I don't think you'll be able to last long with just that." Gazelle said as he hand guided along Abel's obvious bulge in his pants. She was surprised he hasn't fucked her yet, but she was sure he'd give into his desires soon.
Her pussy was continuing to make such erotic noises as Abel fingered her. She was growing close to an orgasm, biting gently at her bottom lip as not to let out any more of her moans.
@Jake
Once her hand grazed across his cock, he could feel it almost twitch in response. He knew what he wanted, hell even needed, in that moment, but he couldn't find it in himself to give in on the fight between the two. He needed her to become almost feral from her need for him, but he knew if he let her just cum on just his fingers alone, she would be more than satisfied with that... He was at a cross roads...
Slowly, he would reach down, letting his free hand run across the button of his pants, letting the waist loosen to the point where he could slide them down with the free hand. His cock was so hard and stiff that it almost jumped out and smacked her thigh. He would take his free hand, gripping around his shaft before moving it as close as he could to her. With the moving of his thumb, the head of his cock would slowly press against the button he had been teasing and he would moan softly.
Gazelle let out a soft gasp, her body shivered in response to his cock pressing against her clit. She wanted his cock inside of her desperately. But she wouldn't dare to confess that out loud. She was stubborn, sometimes even way too stubborn. "Abel..." She muttered under her breath, desire and lust evident in her eyes. "You're only making this difficult for yourself, hun~" A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
@Jake
"I think I am fine where I am at now," he would moan out with a passion and pleasure in his voice that seemed like nothing he had experienced previously, "All you have to say though is, I want Daddy's cock deep inside me... Come on... Say it?"
He would continue to softly rub himself across that every sensitive button. At this point, he couldn't tell where his juices stopped and hers begun, but he couldn't care either way.
A soft smirk appeared painted the woman’s face. “Honestly, I think I prefer this more than your actual dick inside of me. At least I’ll have a better chance of being able to cum before those old legs of yours-“ A man interrupted her sentence. “…give out.”
Those moans of his made her body shiver, wanting to hear even more.
@Jake
"That was fucking low," he would say, giving a giggle, "Using the old man card..."
He would smile up at her, "Admit one thing for me," he would say as his cock would trace her lips up and down, "Admit that all you want to do is win this contest and you have wanted me since I stepped in the bathroom. Then, I will admit you won and give you what you truly want..."
“Awe, did I hurt your feelings?” Gazelle asked in a teasing and playful tone. “You aren’t that old.” She giggled softly.
She raised a eyebrow. “Hmmm…” Sure, she wanted to win even if it meant being stubborn. “Fine. All I wanted was to win this contest.” She stated. “And just maybe I’ve wanted you since you intruded on my privacy in the bathroom.”
@Jake
"Good girl," he would say with a smile, "But, just know that you just admited I have won..."
Before she could protest as he would already hear her beginning to protest, he would bring his cock to her lips, separating them as he would pound himself inside of her hard.
“What? That’s not how it works. You let me-“ Before she could even get the rest of her sentence out, his cock rudely interpreted, a loud moan filled with nothing but lust and pleasure escaped. She quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to allow any more sounds to come out. She wouldn’t want to wake the child with her recklessness. “You’re an asshole, Abel.” She mumbled. “And I still won.”(edited)
"Keep telling yourself that," he would say with a smile as he would find himself fully inside of her at the moment, the warmth and pleasure surrounding every part of his body, "Good girl..."
With that, he would move his hips back, slowly letting himself slide further out before pumping himself right back in.
Gazelle frowned momentarily. If there was one thing about Gazelle, she disliked loosing. She’d be sure to get him back for it. Ten folds. “You’ll regret ever tricking me.” She said, although she was enjoying every bit of this.
She massaged her breasts as Abel continued sliding his cock in and out of her, her pussy tight around his throbbing cock.
@Jake
He would watch her reach down, beginning to fondle herself again as he slide in and out of her, he woul;d bring his mouth down again to meet her. The added height of the bathroom counter helped with everything they were doing in the moment as he would take her right nipple into his mouth as he gripped her hips, beginning to speed up his motions.
It was beginning to grow hard for her to stay standing on her feet with so much pleasure coursing through her body. Her nipples were erect and swollen due to her massaging and Abel’s sucking. Just this alone was enough to near her towards an orgasm.
@Jake
As he would look over at her, he would make sure that she was secure against the counter, she was not going anywhere under his watch, he smiled up at her as his hands would grasp her hips, slowly moving her legs around him. He wanted her to hook into as he would continue to slide in and out of her warmth.
She wrapped her legs tight around his waist, forcing his cock to push deeper inside of her. “Hurry up and cum.” She demanded in a low whisper. She was growing close to her own orgasm and didn’t want to admit it.
@Jake
"A little demanding," he would say as a moan would interrupt him, "Aren't we?"
With that, he would pick up the pace that he had been going at. He was going at a fast pace already, but now the sounds of skin slapping between the two of them echoed in the room as he would pin her against the mirror almost with his hard thrusts. It wouldn't be long before the pleasure would reach a climax... "Fuck, I'm..."
It was hard for her not to let out any of those beautiful moans. His dick was reaching so deep inside of her it was almost concerning. “Me too.” She announced in a low whisper. Her juices were dripping down her thighs, causing a mess beneath them as well.
@Jake
With a soft whimper almost, he would bury his face deep into the chest of Gazelle as his cock was twitch and almost bounce with pleasure, pushing into her until he felt it erupt. He pushed as deep as he could into her and almost held there as he would feel his body push through the orgasm through it.
She reached her orgasm just as Abel did. He erotic juices made a mess over the bathroom floor. She could feel his warm cum pouring out deep inside of her, a soft moan escaped her lips as she tried coming down from her high. “Looks like i’ll have to shower again… Thanks to you.” She said with a playful grin.
@Jake
"And I need one because of you," he would playfully snip back, not wanting to move from the wonderful position he was in, so he would let him mouth give him a couple more seconds. As he would pull back, he would move his head up to meet Gazelle, giving her a passionate kiss in the moment.
Gazelle eagerly met Abel for the passionate kiss, a faint whimper escaped as he slid out of her. “Alright, Abel. No more fucking about. Shower and sleep, no more funny business.” She demanded, a chuckle following up after.
@Jake
"Shower and sleep," he would nod, still almost panting from the moment, "No more funny business..."
He would step out of her grasp for the moment, letting her ease herself onto the floor as he would step over to the shower. Turning it on, the steam would begin to form in the bathroom. The hot water, the cold air outside, and the steam from their encounter all mixing in the moment.
Gazelle let out a soft chuckle, stepping inside of the tub once the water had gotten hot enough to her liking. There was something about hot- almost scorching water that Gazelle enjoyed. It itched all of the right spots. “So, do you have work tomorrow?” She questioned. “Your schedule has been all over the place.” She let the hot water run down her body, a satisfied sigh.
@Jake
"Which one are you talking about?" He would ask as he looked over at her, Gazelle would know that he had two jobs, a regular one at a local lumber mill and lumber shop in town, and a second one that involved demon hunting, "Suppose to be off from both... But, you never know, especially with our new... news..."
“Both, of course.” She reached over to grab her wash towel and bottle of soap. “Well good then, you can babysit while I handle business tomorrow. I’ll have to make the most of my only free day out after all.” She mumbled the last bit under her breath as she put soap in the towel.
@Jake
"Gazelle..." before he could utter a word of protest, she would be into the soap on the towel, "I... don't think it is a good idea, but if you can handle yourself, fine... We just need something for you and her..."
“I don’t want to hear it, Abel. How many times do I have to tell you I can handle myself? I am a demon after all. Sometimes I even forget myself.” She softly chuckled. “Especially with being here all day..” She lathered the soap over her body as she continued speaking. “If it makes it any better, I promise not to spend too much.”
@Jake
"I mean, that helps some..." he giggled as he looked over at her, "Come on, you know what I mean, we need to make you hidden. These..."
He would reach up and tap on one of her horns, "Don't seem to be very popular in the world..."
She let out a soft sigh. “It’s not like they can easily be hidden.” She mumbled. “This is why I suggested trimming them down or just completely cutting them off.”
@Jake
"But, do you really wanna do that, Gazelle?" He looked at her with a questioning glance, some demons or devils he had met, they were proud of their heritage and the horns they wore... Gazelle always seemed intent to just lob them off...
“If it means i’ll be able to blend in with humans more, then of course.” Sure it was something she was against, but they’d always grow back eventually. “They’ll grow back, y’know.” She chuckled.
@Jake
"But, it is like shaving someone bald," he said with a smile as he would help run water over her shoulders, washing the soap away, "Its a choice, but not one that can be done lightly..."
“Thank you for putting that image in my mind, Abel. I really appreciate it.” She said sarcastically. “Look, I’m fine with it. So stop worrying about it. Or is it because you actually enjoy seeing them?”
@Jake
"Very welcome," he said with a laugh as he would let the water run against his head now, moving her slightly away from the steam, "I will always worry about you, Gazelle. It is my job to worry about you. Since the day we first met, I have wanted nothing more than for you to have a safe life where you can just exist without having to worry about someone coming after you."
He would grab the shampoo, drizzling a fair amount in his hand before moving it over the top of his head, "And yeah, I might like them a little bit..."
“Well, sometimes it can be tiring when all you do is worry about me. No wonder you’re growing old and wrinkly so fast, all you do is worry.” She teasingly said.
“Oh, really? And why is that?”
@Jake
He would let the water run over his now shampooed head, shoulders, arms, and armpits as he would speak through closed eyes, teasingly as well, "Ah, you know," he said as he ran his fingers through his hair, "Something to hold onto while I am fucking you from behind..."
A devious smirk crossed his face.
Gazelle playfully nudged Abel’s shoulder. “You’re always thinking perverted thoughts. It’ll be a good thing to cut them off after all.” She hummed. “I’ll be able to visit a woman’s strip club.” She chuckled.
“Y’know… I could even start working too.” Gazelle was raised by humans and often acted like one. Sure, she’s always wanted to know more about her parents and other relatives she may have, but demons weren’t so easy to get in contact with, nor did they stick around in places for too long.
@Jake```(edited)
"Working!?" He said, opening his eyes after the running water fell over him, "A high classed woman like yourself!? Isn't that beneath you!?"
He gave a shocked expression, but looked up at her with a smile again, "I know you wanna do these things, I really do. But, we have to be cautious... Especially right now. I fear that the kid's father may have went to others before me. So, alerts will be out..."
“What? Well- You always seemed stressed with working two jobs as it is.” She mumbled. “Besides, i’ve always wanted to do some sort of work. It's better than staying home and it’ll be something I enjoy.”
She sighed. “I know. I’m not really expecting to even be able to do those things. I have such a huge bucket list and hardly anything has been checked off.”
@Jake
"Done?" he would ask, if she nodded yes, he would turn the nobs of the shower off, "I know you do, honey, and I wish so much so to help with that, but you are going to have a tag along. If not me, then the kid now... Seems to be something that we are going to have for a little bit now..."
He would step out of the shower, grabbing two towels from a nearby linen closet and handing her one.
She nodded, stepping out of the shower after him. “Weren’t you just against us keeping her not too long ago?” She rolled her eyes and dried her body off with the towel. “And not all of the things on my bucket list are kid friendly or elderly friendly.” She giggled softly.
@Jake
"Elderly friendly," he said with an offended look, "What is that suppose to mean, ma'am!?"
He waited until she had the towel over head or distracted and then he would launch his towel at her in a playful way before moving out of the bathroom quickly.
"That you're an old man, Abel." She stated in a playful tone.
"Hey! Asshole." She huffed, refraining from chasing the man out of the bathroom. She finished drying her body off, wrapping the towel around her before exiting. She needed a change of clothings to put on before bed.
"Guess what's on my bucket list~" She said while rummaging through her side of clothes in their closet.
@Jake
"I was just going to ask," he said with a smile as he would find the only thing he needed for the night, a pair of boxer briefs that he would wrap around his frame, "But, guessing, I would say... Making sure your Abel is satisficed whenever he wants to be..."
It was a joke answer, but he was hoping that it would get her to start talking a little more about it. He had heard about the bucket list several times, but never really push for more answers on why... Maybe tonight was the night.
Gazelle rolled her eyes as she put on some comfortable underwear and a spaghetti strapped t-shirt. She never bothered wearing a bra to sleep. “No, of course not.” She chuckled. “A 3sum is definitely on the list though.” She said in a teasing tone.
“I’ve always wanted to visit a library and checkout books.” Abel was always the one doing the book shopping for her. “And I want to be able to taste human food. It must taste as good as it is appealing, right?”
@Jake
He perked up at the sound of a threesome, "Wait..." he said, "You can't just speed past that like you didn't just say what you just said..."
He looked over at her for a moment as she listed the rest of it, being able to taste human food... He didn't know if that would be a thing that she could ever too. Something would have to change soon.
He sighed as he looked up at her, "I am trying to help...."
“What?” She asked innocently. “Haven't you always wanted to have a 3sum? That seems like something you'd be into." She mumbled, plopping onto their bed.
"I'm just putting things out their Abel, I know some will be impossible." She shrugged. "Is getting married also impossible for us?"
@Jake
"I mean..." he felt like this was a trap, but he was going to continue to tread lightly, "Threesome would be nice, but we talking about a two girl or two boy situation?"
He giggled, but the question of getting married seemed to stop him in his tracks, "I mean, no, but it is really what you would consider your definition of getting married to be? Hell, I could consider that night at the river when we told each other how much we cared to be a devotion like that..."
“Huh.” Gazelle raised an eyebrow, quite interested. “Two guys, of course.” She hummed. “Or is it only “nice” if it’s two women? Men sure are something.” She mumbled the last part to herself.
“Like- real human marriage. A ceremony and even a honeymoon.” She knew it sounded silly coming from a demon, but she really did want to experience these things.
@Jake
"Don't turn that around on me," he would say with a smile, "You were the one who brought up the threesome, and don't think I have seen you looking at the porno mags..."
He softly listened again, the conversation seemed to be bouncing.
"That can be arranged anytime, Gazelle," he said with a smile as he would find himself sitting up on the bed looking at her, "When I told you at the river that I love you and you mean the world to me. Nothing has changed that. The only reason marriage has never been on the table is because... well... I didn't think you needed that."
She huffed. “And who’s were they to begin with?” She raised an eyebrow before relaxing her head against Abel’s shoulder. Just from here she could hear his heartbeat, steady and calm.
“I don’t need it, but I want to be married to you Abel. Besides, you’re growing old and should be married by now.” She teasingly said, a smile spread across her lips. “So, we’re getting married and having a 3sum?”
@Jake
"I guess we are getting married and having a threesome," he would say with a smile, "But, you know the marriage thing is easier in principal, but harder with paperwork, right? You really don't have a 'human' identity and demons really aren't on the courthouse rule books, if that makes sense..."
He smiled as he looked up, "And who is your option for this threesome?"
“Well… Just forget the paperwork. We can still have a proper wedding, right?” She chuckled softly as she leaned in to kiss Abel on the lips.
She blinked. “Wait, seriously? I didn’t think you’d actually agree. And I definitely don’t know who I would choose.”
@Jake
As she would come over to the bed and give him a proper kiss, he would nod, "Yes, wedding can happen, you can even plan it..."
He smiled as she looked almost dumbfounded... "I mean, it could be me, you, and your little, well big friend, beside the bed there..."
She rolled her eyes. “And here I thought you were serious. I take my kiss back, actually.” She said before flipping over onto her side. “Maybe i’ll have a threesome without you” She stated. “Me and my two favorite toys.” She was referring to her sex toys, whom she hardly used.
“We’re going celibate until we’re married, Abel.” She didn’t mean it at all, only wanting to tease her partner.
@Jake
He would watch her move around to her side of the bed and threaten not only to be celibate until they were officially married, but also that she would have a threesome all on her lonesome.
"Don't worry," he would softly tease, "You will come back to me when you want some loving. A dildo can do what I just did in there..."
He laughed as he rolled over and looked at her for a moment, listening to what she had to say before he would stare deeply in her eyes.
"I love you, Gazelle..."
“Exactly, a dildo can do so much better and I don’t have to worry about it getting tired.” She teased back, a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
She let out a soft sigh. “I love you too, Abel. Now goodnight.” She chuckled, leaning over to turn the light off on their nightstand. She covered the both of them up with their blanket, cuddling close to her lover.
@Jake
He would as well tuck him under the covers, reaching over as she cuddled in next to him and pulled her in close. The warmness between them still radiating...
During the middle of the night, a couple of hours into their sleep, a loud cry would erupt from the living room, Abel would jump in bed almost startled before remembering the baby...
"Shit," he would say, "You wanna or me...?"
Gazelle had quickly fallen asleep after such a long night. She felt at ease also knowing that Abel would be home with her tomorrow since he had the day off.
She let out a muffled hum, still somewhat half asleep. “You..” She said, flipping over onto her side to be more comfortable. It was hard to fall asleep with such loud crying.
@Jake
Abel would groan as he would move off the side of the bed, he was grumpy, tired, but baby... Baby needed something...
He would walk into the living room and when the baby saw him, the crying ceased for a moment, but she would begin to babble for him. He would walk over, picking the kid up in a soft hold, noticing that she seemed to have wore off her blanket in her sleep. As he would walk over to the fridge looking for something for the kid, he would sigh. No bottles, no bips, no... infection...
"What the hell," he said as he looked down at the babies uncovered leg, "What...?"
He checked both sides of the leg and the other leg, no infection. The baby wimped softly. She was clearly hungry, but he was more interested in what was going on. He reached into the fridge, grabbing a bottle of milk and looking to see if he could find anything to use as a bottle. An old sports bottle sat in the top of the cabinet. He would sit the baby on the counter while he prepared the drink and looked over her leg... "Son of a bitch..." he mumbled softly, "What happened?"
Gazelle signed, finally sitting upright in bed. There was no point in fighting trying to go to sleep any longer. Sometimes she hated her keen hearing, especially when it picked up even the littlest of things. “What is it, Abel?” She questioned as she got out of bed a put on her comfortable slippers. She disliked walking on their cold wooden floor with just bare feet.
“Is everything alright?” Gazelle asked as she joined him in the kitchen.
@Jake
"Look," he said, almost like a confused child as he would give the bottle of milk to the kid who happily began to suck back the drink, "The infection... it is just... gone?"
Gazelle blinked, obviously surprised to see the child drinking milk. She looked so much better than when they had gotten her. “Seriously? Well what is that supposed to mean? Demons do heal after all.” She mumbled.
@Jake
"But, not like this," he said, "You remember the guy we saw at the lake, he had an infection like this and he was a feral demon within hours, but this... She is completely back to normal, no issues at all?"
He would inspect the leg again like he hadn't just already done it, almost out of shock, but she did it. She healed the leg...
“But that doesn’t make any sense at all.” She mumbled to herself. “How is she drinking milk?” It was a surprise. Never did she witness something like this before.
She no longer had the scent of a demon. Before she had even fully turned… She reverted back to being a human? “What are we going to do now, Abel?”
@Jake
"I... I don't know how it happened..." he looked up at her with a concern in his eyes, what did this mean?
But, when Gazelle asked what they were going to do... he could only think of one thing... "We have to bring her back to her parents..."
She scoffed in disbelief. “Return her? But they didn’t want her! That makes no sense.” She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “Can’t we just keep her?” She was aware that she was being selfish. The child probably missed her parents dearly and had no idea what was going on. “We already said we would be doing so.”
@Jake
"She is not a demon," he said with a sadness in his voice because he already knew, "They wanted her dead... It would be different if she turned and looked different or had something... But, they are more than likely going to file a missing persons report to cover for their story. Do you want to be caught with her? That could mean more than a kidnapping charge for us..."
She was silent for a long moment. As much as she didn’t want to let the little girl go, she knew there was no other option. “Fine.” She said through gritted teeth. She was upset- very upset. “Do what you want, Abel.”
@Jake
"Gazelle," it was almost a done issue at this point, but they just couldn't especially since she was getting her memories and faculties back, "You know there is nothing that I can do. It is not something I want or don't want to do..."
“Okay.” She mumbled. She couldn’t be too upset. I mean, it wasn’t their child after all. “Just take her back then, Abel.” Gazelle smiled softly at Liv as she neared her. She was such a sweet and beautiful child, she truly wished they could keep her… But knew they couldn’t.
@Jake
He could still tell there was some resentment in her statement, or at least he felt it, he should have never put them in this situation and he felt every bit of judgement from all of that. He sighed as he looked over at the kid before picking up the phone. He would find a little red book that was tucked away in a cabinet and he would dial a number.
The number was the child's father, who he explained that the infection seemed to be gone and that she was not turning. He tore him a new one though, telling him up and down that he shouldn't have done the child like this.
“I’m going back to bed.” She announced before starting her way to their bedroom. She didn’t want to see Liv being taken, nor did she want to wake up to the little girl being gone. But it wasn’t like it could be avoided either way.
She let out a sigh, plopping down on the bed and sinking under the blankets. It was a long day yesterday, one that she wouldn’t forget even if she tried.
@Jake
Over the next couple of hours, the mother and the father would find their way to the house, fainting that they had lost their daughter and were happy to find her in case any prying ears were listening. He would give them soft nods and simple answers, but the words would be brief. Almost as soon as they had arrived, they would leave. Leaving the two of them, Abel and Gazelle, alone again.
As he would find his way to the bedroom, his mind would toss and turn for a few moments, he didn't hate the idea of having a kid around, but this day was heavy. Very fucking heavy. He would find his way beside of what he assumed was a sleeping Gazelle and would lay down, not being able to find sleep.
The next morning seemed to have arrived quickly. Gazelle slept a little longer than usual, only because she needed the sleep. She let out a yawn as she sat upright in the bed. Usually she’d be up before now and getting her day started.
Hell, it had only been a few hours that they had Liv and Gazelle seemed to have grown attached to the little girl in no time. Just as quickly as that, she was gone.
@Jake
When Gazelle would wake up, Abel had been awake for several hours. He could not sleep very well, so he would take the time to clean the things up from the living room, making sure that any sign that Liv had been there was gone now. He didn't want to give Gazelle any memory of the baby. He didn't know if she would like that or not, but he couldn't stop himself. He couldn't handle it himself.
The morning coffee had just finished brewing and was sitting on the counter as Abel was beginning to drink from his mug.
Gazelle started her morning with a shower and a change of clothes. After brushing her teeth, washing her face and tending to her hair, she made her way into the living room, the smell of coffee traveling through their cabin.
She tried her best not to notice the missing crib- but it was hard to do so. “Good morning.” She greeted Abel who was in the kitchen.
@Jake
Mornin'," he would reply back with a smile as he continued to sip his coffee, looking out the window over the sink, the snow had indeed packed in last night, but the morning sun was already beginning to make a dent in the fluffy powder.
He couldn't look at her in the moment, cause he knew he would just sob.
Gazelle opened the refrigerator and grabbed herself a bottle of water. It was probably the only thing that didn’t taste like ass. Demons did need a way to be hydrated after all. “Hungry? I can make something.”
@Jake
"Not really," he said with a smile as he looked over at her for a moment and then away again, "I am good for now. I have had a rough morning..."
He patted his stomach a second before beginning to move to the couch. He would grab his phone from the counter, checking to see if anything had occurred throughout the night, but all quiet.
“Did you not come to bed last night?” She questioned in a worried tone. “It isn’t like you to miss out on your beauty sleep.” She chuckled softly to herself, twisting the cap open to the water bottle.
“So, they were relieved I bet.” Gazelle said, referring to Liv’s parents.
@Jake
He knew the questions and talking was coming, he just... wasn't ready for it this morning...
"I did," he said with a smile as he turned around, "You were sleeping good, so I didn't wanna bother you. I kept tossing and turning..."
He didn't wanna tell her he hadn't slept at all.
"The mother was," he said with a smile, "She acted like this was something she had no idea of, the dad... guilt."
“Sleeping good is an overstatement.” She stated with a soft smile. She took a few sips of her water, letting out a refreshed sigh afterwards.
“He should feel guilty.” She mumbled. “I’m at least glad she’s with her family again.” But she still couldn’t help the lump that seemed to form in her throat. She felt bad for being so selfish.
“So, what are you going to do today?”
@Jake
"I am going to go to town to buy some stuff, groceries, and such," he said with a smile, "You, however, Mrs. Byrd, are going to town to buy yourself something nice."
With that, he would pick up an envelope that had been sitting on the counter, pulling a two plastic cards out of it, "So, I wanted to save this for a rainy day, but," he said with a smile, "Here is your first official credentials, young lady..."
Gazelle Byrd is the name on the plastic credit card and driver license he would hand over. The license itself had a photoshopped picture of her, minus the horns.
Gazelle shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not in the mood to go out today.” Gazelle was always in the mood to go outside and explore, so this was definitely odd of her. “Maybe another time.”
She put the cap back on the water and put it in the refrigerator. For once, she actually wanted to stay home.
She was rather surprised when inspecting the cards. Without the horns so looked… Human. Never did she think she’d be able to obtain a drivers license and and ID. It made her happy that Abel went out of his way to do such a thing. “Wow, the photoshop looks pretty realistic.” She commented. “Thank you, Abel. I really appreciate it.”
@Jake
He hated that she felt that way, but he was exhausted and could not imagine going out, but he was going too for her.
He was happy that she enjoyed the new cards, "I thought that would help lighten moods a little..."
“I know, I know. I just don’t feel like leaving.” She mumbled. “Besides, I don’t feel like cutting off my horns. It’ll be too much work.” She mumbled. “Why don’t you just shop for the both of us?”
@Jake
"If you don't wanna go out, neither do I..." he said with a smile, basically fainting interest in the whole thing entirely now, "Maybe we have an us day at home? Or do you not wanna see me...?
“What? But i thought you had to go grocery shopping.” She scoffed, folding her arms against her chest. “What makes you think I don’t want to see you?” She questioned.
@Jake
"I mean, I don't really," he said behind a fake smile, his hand rubbingthe back of his neck, "I just don't wanna go out either if you don't wanna go. Today was suppose to be about you and letting you do whatever you wanted..."
"I don't know," he said again, letting his hand continue to rub his neck, "After last night and all..."
She bit at her bottom lip. She didn’t intend for Abel to feel like she was upset with him. She understand what had to be done, she just wished there were other possibilities. “I’m not upset with you… So don’t ever think that. If I am upset with you I’ll make it very obvious.” She chuckled.
“I guess we could just stay home today.” She shrugged her shoulders.
@Jake
"Okay," he said as he nodded, "Just the idea of us having a little one..."
He would let it trail off to not arouse anymore conversation around the matter, "Well, what shall we do? Napping is definitely on the table..."
“Maybe- we can, well, one day. There’s always other ways for us to have a child, Abel.” She assured with a soft smile.
“I dunno, maybe we could watch a movie?” Gazelle always enjoyed watching documentaries or certain places that she was yet to explore herself. Sure, to others it was pretty boring. “I can’t remember the last time we went on an actual date either.”
@Jake
"For someone who doesn't want to do anything," he giggled, "You suggesting a date is actually a very nice idea. Did you have anything in mind?"
He would lean back against the counter of the kitchen, sipping the remaining bit of his coffee.
She shook her head. “I don’t know. There really isn’t anything to do, you know.” She huffed. “I would have thought you had some ideas.” Gazelle thought for a long moment, but nothing came to mind. “It’s too cold to really do anything outside- nor do I feel like going out today. Don’t you grocery shopping to attend to anyways?”
@Jake
"You did mention a threeway last night," he would say over the cup of coffee with a smirk growing under it as he looked at her, "But, I tell you what, if you will brave the cold with me, I will do the grocery shopping..."
“You weren’t serious about that, Abel.” She rolled her eyes. “And besides, I don’t know any people or much of any of my kind.” She shrugged her shoulders. “You know I can’t go out, Abel. Even you have said so yourself.”
@Jake
“Of course I wouldn’t be jealous.” She stated. “You bring someone home every two or so weeks.” She mumbled the last bit to herself. Of course she wasn’t referring to people that were alive. Her attempt at a horrible joke.
@Jake
"Those people might be a little colder than you like," he would joke back with a smile, "But, maybe one day. Until then..."
He would stand for a moment clapping his knees as he did, "You better go get your Sunday best on. To town we go..."
“I said I’m not going, Abel.” She responded. “I can’t go. It’ll be completely obvious that I’m a demon.” She pointed at her horns. “I don’t know if you’ve forgotten I had then or not. Maybe old age is starting to get to you.
@Jake
"Fine," he said with an almost whine, "You win, I will let you stay home..."
He felt bad internally, he was trying to make her feel better, but everything that he was doing seemed to be going downhill. He would turn on his heels and head towards the bedroom, looking for his winter clothes so he could make the trip.
“I was going to stay home either way.” She stated with a fold of her arms. “And how long will you be gone for?” Gazelle asked out of curiosity. She wanted at least some time to herself.
@Jake
Abel would do the math in his head, "Probably about three hours or so if I take my time," he said as he was pulling on his coveralls, "Do you need more time?"
“What? No, what makes you think that?” She quickly replied. “Just don’t take all day… And bring me back something nice. And don’t forget to return my library books, okay?” She had an entire bookshelf dedicated to books she read and still haven’t. She enjoyed collecting items, especially jewelry and books.
@Jake
He smiled as he grabbed the books from the table next to the door, beginning to carry them out.
"I love you, Gazelle," he said with a weak smile, "Be back soon..."
“I love you too. Stay safe.” She kissed him on the lips before he had taken his leave. Now she could finally have time to herself. Despite Abel’s sternness when it came to her not going outside, Gazelle often did explore the forest when he was away at work. She’d definitely go crazy if she was inside 24/7. But she was careful enough not to go too far away from their home- even if she can handle herself.
@Jake
Abel would hiead straight to the truck and down the snowy hill. Everything seemed to be melting off now as he would begin his journey to the store. Nothing out of ordinary would occur on his trips, stopping at the library, he would actually pick up a new book for her, one of the newer releases that look kinda steamy from the cover. She loved smut. He would also stop at the local superstore and grab a dozen red roses as well as a pair of diamond earrings for her.
Gazelle tended to tasks, cleaning dishes, sweeping and mopping the floors, washing clothes and cleaning their bedroom. She seemingly enjoyed to clean. It gave her a peace of mind and kept her busy throughout the day. After her cleaning frenzy, she relaxed back on the couch and switch on the channel news. It was the same thing every day. Missing people, dead bodies being found in states beyond comprehension. Demons were known for the havoc they caused on human lives, but it wasn’t like they had much of a choice if they wanted to survive.
@Jake
It would be almost three hours like expected as Abel would come down the road towards his place. He had barely been paying attention as he moved up the road, but as he neared the house, he felt a weird sensation in his stomach, he wasn't sure what was going on, but something didn't feel right. He tried his best to ignore it for the moment as he pulled in the drive...
When Abel would in fact return home later, he would find that Gazelle was not home. It seemed she must have ventured out on her own and didn’t return in time before Abel showed up. Never did Abel come home and Gazelle wasn’t there. But there was in fact signs she was there not too long ago. The place was cleaner than it was before, and many other noticeable things.
@Jake
Walking in the house with grocery bags in hand, he would call out, "Gazelle, I'm home," but indeed, he would get no response in return, his stomach felt that pit once again, "Gazelle?"
He would trek all over the house, looking for her, even going into the butcher's basement that he had stored all the bodies, but she was no where to be found...
His worry only grew...
Meanwhile Gazelle was on her way home from a visit. She didn’t let Abel know anything about any other demon friends- well, besides the doctor and their partner. Though, she rarely visited them unless she was in need of help. It was also nice to be around her own kind… Especially when being around humans for so long.
Being she had forgotten her phone at home, she lost track of time and arrived home an hour later than Abel.
She unlocked and opened the door with her key, a soft sigh escaped from her lips.
@Jake@Jake
During that time, Abel had moved around the property looking for her in all the places she could have been. Since she had said that she wasn't going out, he felt his stomach ache with worry, but maybe she had decided she did want to go out. He knew of a couple of places where she could go if she needed 'time away' so he assumed that she just went there.
About thirty minutes before she arrived, Abel had quit looking and resigned himself to the couch with the gift bag hidden beside of him if she would happen to walk through the door later. He sighed as he would continue to read his book.
Gazelle was a bit surprised to see Abel home before she was. She mentally cursed herself for leaving her phone and loosing track of time. “I didn’t think you’d be home so early.” A bad start to a conversation. “I left my phone, but I would have called you.” She removed her coat and placed it on the coat hanger before making her way over to him. She knew how Abel got- and who knows how he reacted when he returned home and seen she wasn’t here.
@Jake
"Three hours on the dot," He said with a smile as he looked up, "Like I said..."
He looked down at his book again, sipping another cup of coffee to try and keep his mind going for the day.
"It is okay, I trust you," he would say when she was talking about leaving her phone, "Clearing your mind?"
“Oh.” So she was the late one. She was expecting Abel to be upset and angry with her, but he wasn’t. Safe to say she was very surprised.
“Yeah… It was a long day yesterday.” She sighed. “You aren’t mad at me? I thought you would be.” She sounded quite relieved. The last thing she wanted was another argument.
@Jake
"I mean, I am upset that you didn't let me know and I had to worry for a little bit," he would say, almost non-chanlently, "But, you are your own person. You said it last night. I can't expect you to stay cooped up in here all the time. One of the reasons I gave you the stuff I did this morning..."
He smiled as he looked up, "As long as I am the only man in your life, I think we are good..."
She smiled happily. “Thank you, Abel. You don’t realize how happy that makes me.” She plopped down on the couch, scooting closer to him. “Of course you are. I mean, the only human.” Gazelle teasingly said. “What are you reading?”
@Jake
He would hold up the cover of one of her books, surprisingly it was one of her favorite smutty books that he had been reading in secret, but decided to finally reveal...
"Getting some tips and tricks on something you might like," he said with a smirk, "Speaking of something you might like..."
He would hold up the bag, pulling out the gifts that he had gotten for her earlier...
"Unfortunately, the third for our threeway is not in there," he said with another smirk, "But, I hope you like them anyway..."
Gazelle chuckled, surprised to see Abel reading one of her favorites of all things. “Tips and tricks, hm?” She chuckled.
She smiled happily at the thoughtful gifts. She loved flowers and jewelry. And of course, a new book to read. “Thank you, Abel. I really love them. And I cannot wait to start reading this book.” She chuckled.
“Don’t worry, I guess you’ll do for a little while.” She teased, referring to the threesome comment.
@Jake
It was clear that Abel was either intrigued or that threesome comment was sticking with him, one or the other, but he would never let on which. He smiled as she looked over her stuff. He would continue to read, "Did you decide what our name had planned?"
Inside he had ached to ask where she had been, but he would not want to act like the person she described yesterday, so he kept it in.
“Hm, no, I’ve been a bit too busy to think about that.” She replied honestly, getting up from her seat at the couch so she could place the flowers in a vase. “Have you thought of anything?
@Jake
"You been busy?" he said with a smile as he looked up, "I hope you didn't do anything too bad..."
He wanted her to talk about it on her own accord, but he could motion as well, right?
"Nothing more than watching a movie..."
She scoffed. “What makes you think I’ve done something bad, Abel? I just wanted time to myself and went to see someone. An old friend.” She knew Abel was curious about her whereabouts and was bound to ask soon.
“And what movie did you have in mind?”
@Jake
"Oh, nice," he would say with a smile, "And its you, you are a trouble maker..."
A nice little tease, but he was glad to know that it was probably only a handful of people that she would have went out to see that she would have known of. He looked back over, "I don't know, we could scan on Netflix, I got stuff to make your favortie tonight... Bloody steaks."
She rolled her eyes. “You know, you’re way too normal about killing your people. It’s kind of ironic.” She chuckled. “I made it a thing where I’ll only eat once every two weeks. I don’t want you to keep killing so often.” She sighed.
“There’s nothing interesting on Netflix. I’ve watched most of everything on there.”
@Jake
"Ma'am, I didn't..." he sighed as he looked up from his book, "I meant like actual cow steaks. Just very rare, enough to where you should be able to taste the flesh. But, I also got a hot sauce, something they say is the hottest allowed limit that can be sold in stores..."
“Oh.” She mumbled. “I knew that, Abel. I was just kidding.” She grabbed the remote off of the coffee table and flipped through the TV channels. When she couldn’t find anything interesting that the both of them would enjoy, she opened up Hulu.
@Jake
"I don't know..." he said as he looked down at the ground, "Today has just seemed off, I don't know if it is just me or what... But something is not right...?"
“I don’t get what you mean, Abel. What’s different about today?” Sure yesterday was a shitstorm, so of course they’d be affected by it- even if just a little bit.
@Jake
"Yesterday seemed to bring up a lot of issues that you had with us, Gazelle," he said with a frown as he looked at her, "And please don't act like it didn't..."
"Ah, I guess ytou are right," he said, feeling an anger beginning to wail inside of him, "Don't worry, I will let you have your space. I know I don't do that enough apparently..."
With a walk in a huff, he would come off the couch going to the bedroom with a slam of the door.
She scoffed as Abel walked off, wincing from the sound of the door being slammed. To a demon, it was so much louder. “Are you fucking serious?” She mumbled to herself.
“You know what? Alright then. Just storm off like a fucking child.” She wasn’t going to argue with him, nor did she have the energy to do so.
She thought that space was what they did need, so she put on her coat and snow boots and took her leave.
@Jake
Abel would spend the majority of the morning in the bed room, but find himself just getting more and more upset and more and more guilt feeling. He sighed as after about an hour, he would find himself moving towards the door, "I am sorry, Gaz..." before he could finish the sentence, he would see that she was gone...
“So, this just happened recently?” Sebastian, a demon and a close friend of Gazelle’s. He took her in after she’d murdered her human parents and had nowhere else to go. “Relationships are… Rather complicated, hence why I stray away from them.” A low chuckle escaped his lips as he poured the two a cup of tea.
“Yeah… Surprisingly, it isn’t the worst of our arguments. Well- it wasn’t really an argument. He stormed off before it even lead to one.” Gazelle corrected her sentence, thanking Sebastian for the cup of tea.
He lived near the mountains, which was about 3 hours away from the cabin on foot. If you’re a human that is. “I’m sure it’s just stress. We dealt with a lot of things yesterday, and I can’t blame him too much.” She added on.
“Or are you just saying that because it’s what you want to believe?” Sebastian asked. “Just what exactly happened yesterday, if you don’t mind me asking that is?”
Gazelle was hesitant to speak. She knew it wasn’t a good idea to just go around spreading their business, but Sebastian wasn’t just any random man to her. He was a friend and someone she relied on. “Well…”
“And the father just dropped her off like she was nothing? Humans… They’re all so- odd. It is very strange that her change into a demon reverted over night.”
“I thought so as well. I’ve never seen cases like that before, but it’s not like I see much of anything really.” She scoffed.
“You act as if you are trapped. You’re a demon Gazelle, not an animal. I know you care for that human of yours, but it shouldn’t cost you your happiness and freedom.”
“I am happy. I can’t remember the last time i’ve ever been this happy.” She corrected. “And I know I’m not trapped… But it’s not like a demon can just walk out into the city freely without being seen as a threat.” Which was understandable.
——
@Jake
(We can timeskip if you’d like. Whenever is fine with me lol
Abel would find himself going out into the yard. While it was not hot by any means, the sun had come out and melted most of the winter storm from yesterday off. Enough so that a heavy coat and jeans would be all he needed to keep warm while he would fiddle with things in the yard. Moving to the old shed at the house, he would begin to move stuff around, long time organizing that had been needed on the cabin for a while. He sighed as he would come across the playpen again... Was this the reason for all their worry? Or was there a bigger issue at play here?
Unlike Gazelle, Abel had no one to go to. No support system. Nothing. He was truly alone without her...
Maybe he needed to change that...
Within the next couple of hours, the old shed would be organized, a box of old stuff that could be used in the house was put to the side and carried in. Still no sign of Gazelle.
01:33
@predictable_. (Give us an old nice jump however you want.)
Gazelle spent several hours with Sebastian, catching up on one another and their lives and as well was spending quality time with one another. It felt like a fresh of breath air to be around someone who was her own kind and gave her advice.
When night fell, she took her leave and started her way back home. It was still pretty cold out, which was to be expected. For some reason she dreaded returning home, especially knowing there would be a conversation that would most likely lead into an argument.
An hour later, she arrived. She twisted her key into the knob, unlocking the door and opened it. Once inside, she kicked off her shoes at the door and removed her coat. It was much warmer inside of the cabin.
@Jake
Once she entered the living room, she would find that it was dark, no fire even burning in the fireplace to warm the house up. It was essentially void of any life.
She let out a soft sigh, rather surprised to see that Abel wasn't home. She was tempted to call him, but she thought that he must have wanted space as well. After all, he did storm off earlier that evening. She ventured off to their shared bedroom and grabbed a t-shirt and comfortable sleeping pants to wear out of the shared closet. A hot shower after a long walk back sounded amazing, and it was what she had her mind set on doing.
@Jake
Abel had been in the yard and did not see her return, the sun was indeed setting now and darkness would over take them shortly. He would be in the back, cutting fire wood, but something in the nearby woods would catch his eye...
A figure of black and red, and it seemed to be darting...
Gazelle had finished taking a hot shower within just a few minutes. She didn’t want to say in for too long due to being tired from her her day. After a while of waiting to hear from Abel, she finally gave in and picked up her phone. She dialed his number and waited as it rung.
@Jake
Abel would continue to look over the woods, following whatever this thing was as it darted back forth. Was it all in his head? Was there something out there? Was it... Gazelle...?
With a ring of the phone, his body jumped and he looked in the direction of the noise, but back up immediately, he searched the tree line again, nothing... Whatever it was... vanished...
He would pull the phone out seeing Gazelle's name on the phone, "Hello, dear..."
“I’m back home. Where are you?” She questioned. If he was out and about, she didn’t plan on rushing him back home or anything. He probably wanted his space for a while, and that was very understandable.
“I was just about to head to bed so I was just letting you know.” She sighed.
@Jake
"Oh," he said, doing another quick scan of the tree line, but not coming up with anything, "I didn't even hear you come in. I am just in the back woods area, I will be up shortly..."
He would hang up with her and find him staring for a moment before giving up and beginning to move back towards the house.
“Oh? I should have checked then.” She mumbled. “Alright, i’ll be here.” Once she hung up the phone, she made herself comfortable in the living room. She didn’t plan on going to sleep, not until she was sure Abel was inside and safe.
@Jake
Abel took a couple extra minutes to make sure that all the equipment that he had used for the day was put away. He would softly make his way to the front door. Opening the door, he would see her sitting in the living room. He would smile, giving her a nod, "Missed you..." All he would say.
“..I missed you too.” She replied, stealing a glance at Abel as he walked through the front door. At this point they might as well just discuss what happened yesterday. “What did you do today?” Way to start a conversation.
@Jake
Abel would be disrobing of his heavier stuff, jacket, boots, gloves, all at the door as not to attract any mud, dirt, or excess snow into the house, when she asked about what he had done today.
"Got alot of the outside stuff done," he said with a smile, "My list was getting a bit too long and I decided to go ahead and take time to get that out of the way. What about yourself?"
He didn't mean to ask that last part, it was just a natural slip of the lip.
“Oh, I see.” She wouldn’t have expected Abel to go out and do anything really, unless it was working, grocery shopping, or running trips to the library for her. “I was just visiting a friend.” She shrugged, deciding not to get into detail. “Not that it matters.” It wasn’t her intention to sound rude or harsh.
@Jake
"If you say it doesn't," he sighed, "Then it doesn't..."
It might not have been her intention to sound harsh or rude, but it intend did hit Abel's mind like that.
"Going to bed?" He would ask as he would removed his shirt, throwing it towards the laundry room the two had in the cabin.
“Yeah, I am.” She replied, grabbing the remote and turned the TV off. She got up from the couch and made her way to their bedroom, a soft sigh escaped as she got in bed, making herself comfortable under the blanket.
“When do you go back to work?” She questioned out of curiosity.
@Jake
Abel would follow as she did, disrobing like normal and getting into a comfortable pair of pajamas as he would, here question though... Even if it was not her interntion, seemed confrontational...
"I don't know," he said with a sigh, "Not many bad people to hunt anymore..."
“So are you going to quit?” Nowadays demons hid from hunters. Thanks to science, they figured out how to use demon blood against demons, forming weapons out of deceased demons. It was honestly horrible to hear, but it was to no surprise to Gazelle.
@Jake
"I mean," he said as he settled into bed, just above the covers, relaxing his body against the headboard, "I don't know... I don't know how to do human life anymore, Gazelle..."
She was silent for a brief moment. She knew it was partly because of her, and she couldn’t help but feel guilty. Being she was with Abel for so long, she often forgets how to be a demon. “What do you mean?”
@Jake
"I don't think that I could go back to just working at a grocery store," he said with a frown, "Or a hardware store, or a factory, or anything like that after what I have done to people, Gazelle..."
Referring to help her feed her habit sometimes by killing other humans, "I hunt bad people and demons..."
“Maybe we should move. There will be plenty of opportunities for you elsewhere.” She knew why Abel stayed in this town, but it was time for him to move on, but that was easier said than done. “You don’t have to hunt for me anymore, I can do it myself.” She sighed.
@Jake
"Still though, Gazelle," he said, turning to her, "What kind of skills do I have? How does a resume of nothing for the last twenty years read to someone...?"
“I don’t know.” She muttered. “But you’re a demon hunter, and not just everyone could be one.” She sighed. “We could just start fresh elsewhere. You don’t have to do this alone, I can be of help in some ways.” She muttered. “I’m more of use than staying home and tending to chores every day.”
@Jake
"I don't want you to have to work though is the thing, Gazelle," he smiled as he turned, "I thought the driver license and card today would be more than enough to show that I don't care if you come and go as you please, but, like, I don't want you to have to provide... I want you to enjoy life..."
An old world way of thinking, sure, but he was intent on her living her best life... Which he was seemingly getting in the way of now...
“But I want to work, I want to do something I enjoy.” She let out an annoyed sigh. “I don’t know how to enjoy life- hell, there’s so many things I want to do and enjoy. I’m a demon- not a human.”
@Jake
Abel would sigh as he sat back, his head falling to the headboard, he was exhausted. Behind all the work he had done today, he had been in his mind even longer it felt, his muscles ached, his mind whined... He was just tired...
He looked over at her, "You can work, I am not stopping you anymore, Gazelle," he said, almost in a sadden tone, "You can do anything you would like... Just promise to come home safe to me..."
She turned, meeting his eyes. She let out a soft sigh. “Of course I will. How many times do I have to tell you that I can handle myself?” She chuckled softly. “I just don’t want things to come in between us. We already have enough arguments as it is.
@Jake
Abel would sigh and nod, "Agreed, too many..." he would think carefully before he said the next sentence, "But, nothing so bad that you would leave me for a full day..."
He sighed as he would begin to move his body under the blankets.
“If I recall, you were the one that stormed off. I simply decided to give you the house for the day.” She responded, followed by a scoff. “We could have had a good day together, spending time with one another but of course it was ruined.”
@Jake
"Yep, ruined because of me... who stayed home..." he looked down at the nightstand and the clock, 10pm, it was going to be a long night, and that last comment was not called for, but emotions were taking over again, "Its fine though. I was here all day. Things were fine..."
She scoffed at his comment. “Goodnight Abel.” She muttered, turning onto her side after turning off the bedside lamp. She wasn’t in the mood to get into anything else tonight, especially another argument.
@Jake
"Good night, Gazelle," he would say with a sigh as he turn as well, turning off any remaning light.
He sighed as he would feel his body almost racked with guilt, pain, anxiety...
It had taken her a little longer than usual to fall asleep, mainly due to forcing herself to drift off. It was hard to fall asleep when there was so much on your mind and plenty that you wanted to say. She wasn’t sure if deep down their relationship would last, but she truly wanted it to work.
@Jake
Abel did not sleep well either, but in the middle of the night, he would sit up to go to the bathroom. Without even thinking upon his return, he would slide back into bed, letting his arm wrap around her body.
Gazelle had awaken early the next morning, a soft yawn escaped her lips. She woke up to a text message from Sebastian, whom was just checking in on her and making sure she made it home safely. But he already knew that she did. He watched her every move without her knowing.
@Jake
Abel would find himself wrapped around her in the morning as well, having moved there and pulled her closer in his sleep, but as she would begin to stir, it would awaken him as well. He awoke with a groan as he looked over... Not saying anything in case she wanted to go back to sleep.
“Good morning.” She muttered, still feeling a bit tired. She wasn’t going to stay in bed all day, so she removed herself out of bed and headed towards their closet to search for something decent to wear. “I’m going to go and shower.” She announced as she walked out of the bedroom.
@Jake
"Good morning," he would say groggily as he looked over at her and her sudden motions made the memories of the last couple of days rush through his mind.
"Do you want me to help?" He would ask as he looked over at her, offering a sense of normalicy in the moment.
“Sure, if you want to help.” She called from in the bathroom. Gazelle turned on the water, making sure it was hot enough to her liking; it was something about bathing in scorching hot water that she loved so much.
@Jake
Abel would look over at her, she almost sounded disinterested about it to him or was his mind playing tricks with him again, he would step into the bathroom as the steam of the shower was beginning to form. Abel would let his pajamas fall to the floor as he would begin to move into the shower, softly letting his hand fall to her side to balance himself.
Gazelle removed her gown and undergarments and stepped into the hot water. She let out a soft and relaxed sigh, letting the water run through her hair. She paid no mind when Abel placed his hand on her side. She was lost in thought about what she’d do today or what she could even do without catching the attention of hunters. Given that Abel didn’t mind her going out on her own, she wanted to take advantage.
@Jake
Abel did worry, but he had talked about this, fought about this, and just down right nagged on this for way too long. She wanted to be independent and he knew that she could take care of herself. He smiled as he would find himself in the tub as well, just relaxing on the other side from her, he would playfully splash a little water at her to get her attention, "If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you wanna go?"
She was pulled out of her own thoughts when Abel splashed her, almost having forgot he was bathing with her. “Either Tokyo or New York.” She replied. “I’ve always wanted to visit a big city. And maybe i’d be able to fit in somewhere amongst other demons. Most don’t do kindly to demons like me.” Ones who are romantic with humans or even tolerate them too much.
@Jake
"Yeah," he would nod, "Maybe there is a secret world that we can fall into. One that allow people like us... Still wanting us, right?"
The question was more to ease his racing mind.
She scoffed. “Of course Abel.” She muttered as she reached over to grab her wash towel and bottle of soap. “I just wish we were… I don’t know.” She sighed softly.
@Jake
He would reach over, grabbing the soap after she was finished, placing it back for her, "Don't know what, Gazelle?" He looked at her with a concerned look, they had never been in I don't know area...
“I’m just tired of this, Abel.” She muttered after lathering her body in soap. “All we ever do is argue and have disagreements. I want this to work out between us, but it’s starting to get insanely repetitive.
@Jake
"I know," he said with a sadness in his tone, maybe he didn't know how to make her happy anymore.
"Just for so long, I looked at you like this damsel in distress, and I really shouldn't have," he said with that same sadness, "I just look back and see that said girl at the river, the one that needed my help. I have been blind to the one that doesn't anymore..."
She sighed once more, the silence between them deafening. She wanted their relationship to be strong again like it once was, but it would take both to make an effort to do so. “You were there for me when I needed someone the most, and still you’re here.” She stated. Before she met Abel, she was at a time in her life where she was confused and felt betrayed.
@Jake
"And I will always be there for you," Abel would continue to say, letting his hands move to hers, the soap between them mixing, "But, right now, I don't know how to give you what you want without just letting you be a free bird and hope that you come back to me at the end of the night, so that's what I am going to attempt to do."
She bit at her bottom lip, a thing she often did when she was nervous or just lost in her own world. “I’d never leave you, Abel.” She assured. “I’ll always come back to you.” She chuckled. “And who said I had to go alone?”
@Jake
Abel sat up a little bit, his shoulders leaning back, almost comically, he looked like a golden retriever puppy who had just heard his favorite words, "Not alone? You want me to go with you?"
She blinked, rather surprised. “I don’t mind it.” She replied with a shrug. “Yes, I do.” She chuckled softly, hardly ever seeing such an expression on his face. It was almost like he’d been waiting to hear those words.
@Jake
"That is literally all I needed to hear," he would say with a smile as he looked back at her, "Need any help with your back or anything?"
It was almost like the pressures and stresses of the previous night melted off of him, but he knew there was still work to be had.
A soft smile tugged at the corner of her lips. “Yeah, if you don’t mind.” She put a bit more soap on her wet wash towel before handing it over to Abel, turning to where her back was faced him. “I can help with yours as well.”
@Jake
"That would be extremely nice," he said with a smile as she would begin to move back into him, his cloth moving across her back and neck smoothly. He would indeed apply a little massaging pressure to his scrubs as well, "This is nice..."
She let out a relaxed sigh. “Yeah, it really is.” She muttered. A hot bath was perfect in winter. “How long are we going to stay here Abel? In this cabin of ours. I think that maybe we should move.” She knew it was a risky topic to bring up, considering the reasons Abel wanted to stay in this rural city.
@Jake
"You know," he said with a smile, not trying to bring negative energy to the situation, "We could start looking to see if we can find something. Even if it is just something more towards the bigger town, I don't see issue with that. We have a bit saved up for a deposit on something..."
He thought to himself that the savings they had accumulated, it was enough, but they would need to figure out money after that...
"Even so," he said with a smile, "We would have this place as a getaway or a fallback, so why not?"
She was surprised to hear those words come out of his mouth. “What, really? I thought you’d be against it.” She muttered. “I thought you wanted to stay because of well- you know.”
After Abel finished washing her back, she did the same for him as well. “Maybe you should go back to school. You know, college. Don’t you have a career you’ve always wanted to do?” She questioned.
@Jake
He gave a small smile and a chuckle, "I said we could start looking," he said with a laugh, "Don't go planning a whole new future already..."
When she asked about going back to college, "What can an old dog like me do now? I would look silly going to a college or any school for that matter..."
She rolled her eyes playfully. “I wasn’t.” She chuckled. “I was just… thinking.”
“What? 40 isn’t old.” At least for demons it wasn’t. “You could always do it online, or so I’ve heard.” She shrugged her shoulders, getting up and out of the tub after finishing bathing. She grabbed ahold of her towel and dried herself off.
@Jake
"Thought it was my turn," he joking stated as she got out of the tub, but he would stay there for a few more moments, "40 is light years away from what they want now a days. Especially with no writeable history... Maybe college one day, I will look some stuff up..."
“Maybe you have dementia. I did wash your back.” She chuckled. starting to dress herself in her undergarments and clothes. “Don’t just say what I want to hear, Abel.” She muttered.
@Jake
Abel would laugh looking up at her, "Not the my turn I was thinking, and I am not just telling you what you want to hear. If I was telling you that, I would tell you that you could go off and be with some sweet demon lord who has a mansion in Beverly Hills..."
A joke, but he wondered at times if that would make her more happy. To be back with her own...
“That does sound pretty inviting.” She jokingly said. “Living in a mansion sounds amazing.” She muttered. “It would be a hassle to clean though.” She sighed softly.
“I’m going out today. You can come along if you want.” She wasn’t sure if Abel was comfortable being around other demons, though she’d understand why.
@Jake
As he would jump out of the tub, letting the towel move over him and cleaning his skin of the water, he would smile at her, "Oh, I would like that, actually," he said with a smile, "Would you like me to go?"
She smiled softly. “You can. You’ll be able to meet his daughter as well.” Gazelle opened the bathroom door, letting the steam out while she started on her makeup. Even though her face couldn’t be seen out in public, she did enjoy the satisfaction makeup gave her whenever she put it on. “She’s a real cutie, too. Hopefully she doesn’t eat you.” She teasingly said.
@Jake
Abel would smile as he was invited. He tended to leave Gazelle alone with her doings when it came to the demon side of life, which she had friends on, because none of them seemed particularly intererst in a human being involved, including Gazelle...
"I am just happy to have the invite," he said with a smile as he would begin looking for presentable clothes.
“I’ve never seen you this happy about going anywhere.” She stated with a soft laugh. “It’s almost scary… What have you done with the Abel that I know?” She teasingly asked.
“We can go after you eat. It’s about an hour or two ride from here, but I think it’d be best if we made it there on feet. Unless you can’t handle that, hm?”
@Jake
"I honestly felt some stuff yesterday I don't ever want to feel again, Gazelle," he would say with a smile that turned to a frown, "I need to be better for you. And I am ready to go whenever you are. On foot, huh?"
“Stuff like what?” She questioned, glancing in his direction. “No, no… Go and eat something.” She demanded. “I can’t have you passing out on me on the way there.” She chuckled softly.
@Jake
"I don't wanna get into much, Gazelle," he said, almost with a pleading look, "We will discuss it in due time, but where are we going that is going to rquire that much walking?"
He would reach in the cupboard, pulling out a couple of granola and protein bars, "There we go, something for the road..."
“Well… He lives far from here. Did you expect a demon to be living in a 10 million dollar mansion in this dead town? I don’t think so.” She jokingly said, though the town was pretty dead.
She folded her arms against her chest, obviously displeased. “A real meal, Abel. Maybe this is why you’re starting to look so skinny.”
@Jake
"Fine, fine," Abel said, shelving the bars back where they were previously, "You want something too? I can pull from the cellar?"
He would go to the fridge and begin to look through what was there from the previous days grocery journey. Eggs, bacon, and toast. That sounded like a good breakfast to him.
She shook her head. “No.. I’m fine.” Though she wasn’t one to enjoy eating what had been in the cellar for a while too long. “It won’t taste well anymore. Besides, I can push myself to go two weeks without eating, Abel.”
She grabbed herself a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, allowing it to quench her thirst.
@Jake
"Okay," he said with a smile, he knew that he should feel it, but there felt like there was still a tension in the air between the two, but, he would begin making dinner for the two of them, "How long have you known this friend?"
“For about 8 years.. He’s a rather close friend of mine.” Gazelle shrugged. 8 years didn’t seem long at all for a demon. “His wife was killed by demon hunters not too long ago sadly. I often check in on him since I know he’s having a tough time.”
@Jake (sorry, didn’t see this
“No- I uh, didn’t tell him that.” She muttered. If any of the demons heard word of that Abel was a demon hunter, he’d be dead by now. “Demons don’t do kindly to hunters, and well- it’s better we don’t mention it anyways.”
@Jake
"Oh," he would say again, looking down at the ground, just how much had she not told her friends about him?
He would finish cooking his breakfast, eating it some as he went and just plating the remainder to eat at the table, "Other than that, is there anything else you were wanting to do?"
She shrugged. “No, nothing in particular. What about you?” She asked, sitting down on the living room couch, which wasn’t far at all away from the kitchen and the dining table. “We don’t really do much together, do we?”
@Jake
“Yeah, we definitely need to.” She muttered. Relationships were not only just built up on trust and love. There was more to it. “But what is it that we can do together? It’s so difficult living like this.”
@Jake
She was silent for a brief moment, her eyes met with Abel’s. She could see that desperate look in his eyes. She knew he wanted this to work just as much as she did.
She sighed softly. “I want to go out on a date… We’ve never been on a real one before.” Maybe it was the plethora or romantic books and movies she read that had Gazelle wanting more. “I don’t care where or how it’s done, I just want us to do something special.”
@Jake (heading 2 bed! Its 4am for me lol.
She was silent for a brief moment, her eyes met with Abel’s. She could see that desperate look in his eyes. She knew he wanted t...
@Gazelle Bently (@predictable_.) - jump
"Done," he said as he would put the last piece of egg in his mouth, "And done..."
He smiled at her, "Does tonight work, we will go to your friends, you can come back and get ready and then we will go out on the town for a nice dinner, maybe a movie, or a walk in the park?"
She sighed softly. “You already know it’s a risk if I were seen in public, much worse if we were seen together.” But she did love the idea of going on such a romantic date. There were plenty of times where she wished she was human, only because she wanted to roam freely.
@Jake
"I have ideas," he said with a smile, "Do you mind wearing head dresses and stuff?"
He generally had been thinking about this for years, when she had gone out to town, she had wore head dresses as well to cover her horns, people were never the wiser...
“What? No.. I don’t mind it.” She replied. “But you’ll have to get me a pretty one though.” She chuckled softly, getting up from her seat at the couch so she could join Abel in the dining room.
@Jake
“Obviously something black… Maybe something laced with a split thigh?” It was obvious Gazelle enjoyed clothing, but she only liked a few select of colors. “Or white is a nice color.”
@Jake
"Maybe a small bit of red," he said with a smile, "I always liked you in red..."
He smiled as he would look up from the table, sitting back in the chair, "Listen, do you still have that old head dress in the closet?"
She chuckled. “Of course you do, Abel.”
She shrugged. “I don’t know, probably.” She also had a tendency of getting rid of clothes that she no longer wore or liked. “Why? Just what do you have in mind, hm?”
@Jake
"Shopping spree after friends?" He said with a smile, "You can get whatever you like from the fancy store in town...? Pierre's?"
He said as he stood, walking over to her and giving her a gentle shoulder rub, "Then whatever you decide, you wear out of the store to our fancy dinner that I will have reserved for tonight? Extra bloody ribeyes with bone in?"
Her eyes practically lit up hearing the words shopping spree. “What, really? Do we even have enough money for all of that?” She didn’t want to put a dent in Abel’s pockets. I mean, he was the only one that could work after all.
@Jake
"Don't you worry about where the money is coming from," he would say, trying to figure that out himself mentally, "You go get whatever would make you feel nice for say... three date nights a week..."
The smile that crossed his face would only be enhanced by the one that crossed hers.
She smiled happily, pulling Abel into a tight hug. Maybe a bit too tight for a human. Demons were very strong. “Ah, I can’t wait! Maybe we could visit my friend another time . . I mean, we should spend the day together. Just you and me.”
@Jake
Abel had been use to hugs like this from Gazelle before, but he smiled as he got this one as it was with intent... and one he hadn't gotten for sometime...
"Oh, now suddenly your tune changes when you get to go shopping, huh?" He lightly teased before waving the comment off with a laugh and tongue sticking out, "If you wanna go get ready, we can go whenever and wherever..."
“Well, shopping sounds way more enjoyable right now. Plus i’ll get to spend some time with you.” She stated after removing her grasp on him. “Is it really okay for me to go out during the day time?” She muttered. It would be much more safe during the night, but stores would be closing around a certain time
@Jake
"I don't see why not, but you know we have to take precautions," he would say as he looked back at her, placing his dishes in the sink, "You have to have your headdressing to cover your horns, maybe a little makeup around the eyes, and sunglasses or something?"
He looked over her, she could pass for a human, most definitely, but the little things would have to be accounted for...
She sighed softly, resting the palm of her hand on the side of her cheek. “Alright. Well, it looks i’ll have to go and change again.” She stated, getting up from her seat at the dining table. “Is there anywhere you need to stop by today?”
@Jake
"Nothing for me today," he said with a smile over to her, "However, we might find something along the way that looks interesting, you never know. You wouldn't have a problem with that would you...?"
He would follow her to the bedroom, listening and talking to her as she got ready.
