War (Fallen Book 2) Read online

  Kaiden hoped the two demons would be able to work something out.

  Babael eyed them. “You want to enter. What for?”

  Kaiden smiled. “To ask for help. You say they know who I am. Who is that?”

  Babael crinkled his demonic nose. “They call you the Chosen One and say you were sent here to end the war.”

  “I am.” Kaiden still wasn’t the biggest fan of being called the Chosen One. Considering so many called him that, he had better get used to it.

  “So you say,” Babael said. “Prove it.”

  “Isn’t Zaphkiel enough?”

  The fallen angel hovered next to Kaiden. His personal angel body guard if the demon were to attack. Kaiden didn’t know what the demon could do, nor did he really know all that Zaphkiel could do. If he had to bet on a fight between them, Kaiden would put his money on Zaphkiel.

  “The angel,” Babael said. “He’s just a piece of the puzzle.”

  “He drank from the Holy Grail,” Zaphkiel said.

  Babael squinted his eyes and stared at Kaiden. While the demon wasn’t scary looking, this made Kaiden uncomfortable. It was bad enough when people stared at him, but a demon? Kaiden didn’t like it at all.

  After what felt like a lifetime, the demon nodded. “I see,” Babael said. “I will talk to Charlie. You must wait here.”

  The demon was gone and heading back to the city. That special traveling was so strange.

  “He’ll let you in,” Orlas said. “When he looked at you, he saw the power. While he can’t see as well as I can or Desiree, he can too.”

  Kaiden nodded. “I hope you are right.”

  The wait for the demon to return was painful. The sun was setting, and the temperature was dropping. Kaiden wanted to enter the city and enjoy the power there. While it wasn’t the best technology around, it was better than sleeping in a tent.

  The other had exited the car when the demon left.

  “That was the cutest demon ever,” Ziva said.

  Desiree giggled. “Don’t let his looks fool you.”

  Ziva shrugged. “Oh, I’d kill Babael if he attacked, but, damn, he was a cutie.”

  Ai groaned. “In all my years, I never expected to hear the great Ziva Green say a demon was cute.”

  “I have a soft spot for chibis, and you know it.”

  Ai laughed. “I do. I remember you drawing them all the time back when we lived in Kathill.”

  Ziva smiled.

  Kaiden couldn’t believe his ears. “You draw?”

  “I used to, but since I bonded with Muriel and left the city, not so much. Just too much with the war.”

  Kaiden didn’t like hearing that at all. “When we get into the city,” he said, “I want to see you draw.”

  “Me too,” Muriel said.

  Kaiden wondered if Ai and Desiree had any secret talents they hadn’t told him about. He loved them, but he still felt like there was so much more to learn about them. That pull they had on him meant he wanted to know everything. He didn’t want there to be any secrets.

  “Fine,” Ziva said. “But Ai has to sing.”

  The Asian blushed. “I will do no such thing.”

  Kaiden was intrigued. “Ai, you sing? That is amazing. You have to sing a song for me.”

  If she could get any more nervous, she did in front of his eyes. “I haven’t sung since Dazielle.”

  That hurt Kaiden. This war was having such a terrible impact on the word. If people stopped drawing and singing once they left the city, that had to be stopped. The arts were needed in the world. Kaiden knew that much. Sure, they might not be as important as knowing math or science, but they were critical to happiness. They provided a great distraction for the war and the hell that was life. Kaiden was going to make sure that was back.

  The ground shook, and Babael reappeared.

  “Well?” Kaiden asked.

  “You may enter, but the angels and demon cannot.”

  Kaiden eyed the angels and demon. “You tell me?”

  The four of them huddled together, talking in a whisper. It was still strange to see angels and demon working together, but it made Kaiden happy. That was his goal, to make every being get along.

  Zaphkiel left the huddle. “Go. This is important, but we’ll be watching.”

  Babael grunted. “As expected. Go to the gate you left from.”

  “Thank you,” Kaiden said.

  After they piled back into the car, Ziva drove the last mile to the gate of Kathill. This was going to be a huge moment in the history of Earth. This was the first time that an embassy entered the city, plus the delegation had people bonded to both angels and a demon and whatever they wanted to call Kaiden. To Kaiden, Zaphkiel was an angel. While both Kaiden and Zaphkiel felt a connection to the demons, it wasn't as strong and deep as what he felt for the angels. That wouldn’t change unless Zaphkiel completed the transition, which wasn't going to happen.

  It hurt to leave their bonds behind, but like Zaphkiel had said, this was important. They needed to figure this out and make this happen. Not letting Lilith back into this realm was the key. If they refused this part, Kaiden wasn’t sure what he was going to do.

  The gate started to open when the car reached it. The vehicle just barely fit through it.

  Kaiden half-expected the streets to be packed with people. This had never happened, and they had to be wondering what was going on. Yet, there was no one. Nothing there. That just couldn’t be. How could no one be here at all to greet them? Not even Lindsey or Charlie. That was a strange and scary thing.

  “Where to?” Ziva asked.

  Kaiden wasn’t sure, but before he could answer, Adriel appeared and landed in front of them. He was the only angel allowed in the city and was bonded to Lindsey.

  Ziva had to slam on the brakes to stop from hitting the glorious creature from Heaven. The angel didn’t even flinch. Kaiden was sure that he could have moved to avoid being hit by the car at the last second, and even if he hadn’t, the vehicle would have been damaged more than the angel would’ve have been.

  In all the battles so far, the angels never appeared to get hurt. Sure, they might have a cut or a scrape that would heal super fast, but that was it.

  “You will follow me to a house to stay tonight,” Adriel said. “Tomorrow, Lindsey and Charlie will talk to you.”

  Leaning his head out of the window, Kaiden asked. “Can’t we speak to them tonight?”

  “No,” Adriel replied flatly.

  He didn’t appear pleased, but he did examine Kaiden, most likely to make sure that he had drunk from the Holy Grail. All angels had a way of telling if he had. Kaiden thought it was more angels could go talk to the angel who appeared, but maybe he was wrong in that.

  “Fine,” Kaiden said.

  He wasn’t pleased, but he would do as told. No matter what, Kaiden was going to talk to them, and one night wasn't going to kill them. They were in the safe zone, so they would be okay from angels, demons, and monsters. No giant was going to attack, no dragon, no monsters at all.

  It was actually nice to know that, and Kaiden realized this also would let him see Ziva draw and Ai sing.

  Adriel led them to a small house in the eastern part of Kathill, not too far from his old home. Kaiden was tempted to go see if Lincoln was there, but he didn’t because that might upset Lindsey or Charlie, and that was the last thing that Kaiden wanted to do

  “You will stay here until summoned,” Adriel said.

  Exiting the car, Kaiden turned to the angel. “And when can I expect that?”

  Adriel shrugged. “I’m not the person in charge here. Only Lindsey and Charlie knows that.”

  Then he was gone.

  This sure felt like they were being shoved aside. Clearly, neither Lindsey and Charlie wanted to deal with them. If that was the case, Kaiden wasn't going to be nice. There was one thing he had learned recently, and it was to not to let people walk over him and to be bold and take what he wanted. He could always ask for forgivenes
s later, not that he had to do that much. This was that important.

  Desiree led the way into the house. Kaiden was the last one to enter. It wasn’t much inside, a few bedrooms and a kitchen. The living space was nearly empty, but it did have a desk. Kaiden hoped it had some paper and a pencil, anything for Ziva to use. With no hesitation, Kaiden search the desk. To his delight, it had what he needed.

  “You can draw for us,” Kaiden said.

  Ziva groaned. “If Ai sings.”

  Ai glared at her. “My voice isn’t that good.”

  “Let me be the judge of that,” Kaiden said. “Desiree, do you have anything you are hiding?”

  She burst out laughing. “Nope. You’ve seen my talents. They lie in the bedroom.”

  The other two joined in with her laughing.

  “She isn’t lying. At least I’ve never seen her sing, draw, dance, or do anything that might interest you outside of what she said,” Ziva said.

  Ziva had seen that. The first time Kaiden had made love to Ziva, it had been with Desiree. He couldn’t believe he had a threesome. That was one of those things that only happened in movies or books or maybe a video game, but now, he’d had two of them. Kaiden was the luckiest man alive.

  “I’ll sing,” Ai said. “I can’t believe it, but I will. Only after Ziva draws though.”

  Ziva strode over to the Kaiden and snatched the paper and pencil out of his hand. After sitting at the desk, she started to draw. Kaiden wanted to look over her shoulder but forced himself not to. He couldn’t wait to see her work. He would love to see them use all of their talents.

  Some twenty minutes later, Ziva turned around and held up a piece of paper. “Please be nice,” she pleaded.

  Kaiden had never heard her sound so insecure in his life. Ziva must be worried about what he’ll think. “Trust me,” Kaiden said. “I’m going to love it.”

  Ziva smiled. “You say that now.”

  Kaiden took the paper from her hand. It was the most adorable thing he had ever seen. The picture was of chibi versions of all of them. Never in his life had Kaiden seen anything so lovely or incredibly special.

  “I love it,” he said.

  Kaiden pulled Ziva up, wrapped her into a hug, and pulled her tight against him. Her large breasts pressed into him.

  She looked up into his eyes, that insecurity still lingering. “You aren’t just saying that to make me feel better?” she asked.

  “You know that I would never lie to you. I would never do that.”

  Kaiden cupped her face and kissed her. Her soft lips pressed against his, and she relaxed in his arms, warm and secure now. Ziva was a great kisser, and Kaiden enjoyed her. It wasn’t a long caress, but it was passionate.

  “Thank you,” Ziva said. “I’m glad you like it.”

  Kaiden smiled. “I do. I really do. It's so damn adorable I want to cry. You’re amazing.”

  Everyone looked and were thrilled by it, each saying how cute it was.

  Now everyone’s eyes were on Ai. She was beet red and rocking side to side. “What do you want me to sing?”

  “Anything you want,” Kaiden said.

  Ai breathed in. “Okay.”

  She stood there silent for a moment before she started to sing a tune that many knew and loved. Ai continued on with one of the most beautiful renditions of Hallelujah that Kaiden had ever heard. Her singing melted his heart and had been made for the piece. Kaiden couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Her voice made him happy, sad at the same time. It was magical. She was magical, and he loved her. Ai was pouring her heart and soul into the song. Just her. Nothing else. No music to help her. Just that amazing vocals that was straight from Heaven.

  By the time she was done, everyone in the room was on the brink of tears.

  Ai eyed them. “Well?” she asked.

  “Never in my life,” Kaiden said, “did I expect to hear anything so beautiful. You showed me what Heaven will be like. Both of you did. All of you have. Ai, that song, your voice… You left me speechless. I’m in love with you even more now. And Ziva and that picture. So amazing. Both of you have shown how wonderful you are, how much you can do. I can’t say enough how much I love you. All of you.”

  She rushed over to him and jumped into his arms. Ai pressed her lips against his, hard and firm. Kaiden was amazed by her. For such a small woman, she was fierce and intimating. That song had shown him a side of her he hadn’t expected.

  Ai pulled away.

  “I love you,” Kaiden said.

  Ai giggled. “I love you too.”

  A short time later, Kaiden found himself in one of the beds with all of them. Suddenly, Ai’s hand was on his penis. Kaiden couldn’t help it. He was hard instantly. All it took was Ai’s hand landing on it.

  “Someone is ready,” Ai said.

  “Is he now?” Desiree asked. “We can’t let that go to waste.”

  “No, we really can’t,” Ziva added.

  Kaiden had wanted to bed all four at the same time ever since he began a relationship with them all.

  The three sat up on their knees and looked at him. Each wore a big smile as they took off each other’s shirts. Seeing them sensually undress each other was a major turn on. Kaiden’s penis was even harder. The three of them had the most stunning bodies in the world. No one compared to their beauty.

  Once they were done, Kaiden could see all of them and noticed how different they were and how much they were alike. It was difficult not to stare at them, not to take in their breasts, their nipples, their pussies, the flat stomachs, their eyes, their lips—both sets of them, the smiles they had. All of them.

  Kaiden was overwhelmed by their beauty. “I want you,” he said.

  “I want you too,” they said in unison.

  Ziva and Desiree leaned down and took off his pants and boxers. Ai moved to take his shirt off. The next thing Kaiden knew, his penis was in a mouth, and Ai was sitting on his face. Ziva and Desiree were taking turns with his penis, tag-teaming his penis with their mouths. Kaiden was in heaven.

  Ai was amazing too. Her pussy was sweet, and he enjoyed licking her. The way she squirmed on him as he did told him he loved it. Kaiden held onto her hips. Her skin was smooth under his grip.

  The other two took turns seeing who could take him deeper and were trying to make him come. Kaiden didn’t mind. He was able to come again and again. That was his power, his ability to please his lovers.

  But before he came, one of them sat on his cock and took him into her tight pussy. It was Ziva. Kaiden didn’t have to look. He knew how each of them felt. Kaiden had heard the phrase they’re all pink inside, all the same, but that wasn’t even close to true. After being with three fantastic women, he knew that wasn’t.

  Sure enough, after Kaiden made Ai squirt on his face and she moved to the side, he saw that he was right. Ziva was riding him, gyrating her hips on him, her tight flawless body on him. Desiree was letting Ziva lick her.

  Ai tapped Desiree, who noticed that Kaiden’s mouth was free.

  “We can’t have that,” Desiree said.

  She took Ai’s place, and Kaiden began to lick her. Her pussy was different from Ai but just as great. None of them had anything bad about them. Kaiden might have blinders to them, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was that he loved them, that they made him happy, that being in Ziva was special.

  Ziva climaxed, and Desiree did too.

  Kaiden sat up, laid Ai down on her back, and entered her. Desiree sat on her face. Ziva watched, and Kaiden motioned for her to come closer. Ziva lay down, and Kaiden fingered her as he made love to Ai.

  All of the bodies blurred together. The lovemaking was long, intense, and more than what Kaiden had ever expected. The time was magical, full of wonder and passion.

  Kaiden wasn’t sure how long it lasted. By the time he was done, Kaiden was sure that he must have orgasmed ten times, and each of them had to have at least triple him.

  It was the best night Kaiden had ever had, better than h
e had ever dreamed of. Kaiden would never forget this night. He’d never forget this. Never. He swore to himself to engrain this in his memory.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Ziva woke up refreshed. Last night had been extraordinary, and she was still blown away. Not just the sex. Sure, that was something else. Ziva had made love to the three people she cared for most in the word.

  But her drawing. It had been a long time since she had, and she had forgotten how much she loved it. Ziva promised herself to draw more. Ai’s singing was something that Ziva had forgotten. Her voice was heavenly. Ziva had cried. They all had tears in their eyes by the time Ai had finished the song.

  She ventured out to the kitchen. The others were still sleeping, and Ziva was hungry, yet there was no food. None. Ziva had hoped they would have something for them. They hadn’t brought supplies for days.

  Slowly, the others woke up and made the trek to the kitchen to find the same disappointment.

  Desiree was the last one to wake, and by the time she did, Ziva had hoped for Lindsey or Charlie to have arrived. No one had.

  “I was worried about this,” Kaiden said

  “What?” Ziva asked.

  “I was worried about how we were going to be handled. I was afraid we were going to be treated like some sort of NPC and not like we should be.”

  Ziva had trouble believing that, but then again, Lindsey wasn't the most delightful woman around, and neither was Charlie. Ziva had dreaded coming back and seeing Lindsey. There was a reason for that. Lindsey had treated them like dirt, and no one ever came back, well, no one outside of the people who were to be the leaders of the city. Ziva had always wondered how they got the job, but she wasn't going to ask that.

  “Should we just go to them?” Desiree asked.

  Kaiden rubbed his chin. “I don’t know. The problem is we don’t want to upset them, but we can’t wait too long.”

  He was right. This was going to be a fine line, and Ziva was glad she wasn’t the one who had to figure out when they crossed it.

  “For now,” Kaiden said, “we need food.”
