Lilly's Curse - Tashia M. Garrett (novels to read for beginners txt) 📗

say, from day to day. You are my slave and if you behave. Once I’m done with you, your life I will save. Your first order I will tell is that you must get me out of hell.” Once Lilly said this three times, and snapped her fingers, Damien came to and said, “Yes my master.”
Lilly smiled at the irony, and almost passed out from the amount of magic used.
“Damien, I need you to act like the devil is still your king and like I’m not your master. Now carry me out of this labyrinth of hell.”
Damien did as he was ordered. He picked up his master, and began the long journey out of hell. Lilly pretended to be dead so that getting out would not produce any extra problems.
She was conscious of every breath that Damien took. His sent was driving her crazy, spices, roses, forest, and winter wind. Dang it his scents are so divine. Lilly snuggled in closer to his chest. Damien’s arms felt so right. They felt strong, warm, and as if they were made especially for her.
“Dang it, I think that I’m falling in love with my mate, well, at least in love with his body and odor.” Lilly thought to herself.
Damien slowed as he approached the centaurs, she froze.
“Oh no, he's stopping why is he stopping? Oh please Lord, please, please, let my chant have worked. Okay if it didn't work what do I do? Do I still have my knives? Yes, I think I do if I could just move my legs I would be able to tell, but if I do they will know that I am alive.” Lilly thought to herself.
Damien stopped a foot away from the centaurs and ordered them to open the gates of hell. At first the centaurs were doubtful that Lilly was dead, but once Damien shook her like a ragdoll they believed him.
“Honor amongst thieves huh. I can't believe it they just let him through barely any questions asked.” Lily mentally kicked Damon in the shin, then cussed herself for it her lapse in judgment.
Once the gates of hell closed behind them Damien sat Lilly gently on her feet. He then proceeded to stare into her eyes and said, “What the hell was that? Did you mentally kick me; you know what don't answer that. Why did you kick me in the shin, I know you did, don't deny it. I felt it, you actually kicked me.”
“I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking it was a lapse in judgment.” Lilly cringed a little when she realized he didn’t miss what she said. Or well not said.
“Look I can do things with my mind. It is hard to control at times since it’s connected to my emotions. Let’s just say I’m a lot of things that I will never tell to someone I don’t trust.” Lilly said shocked at what she had reviled.
“Let’s just say that around me the truth seems to be pulled out.” Damien had a confused look on his face.
“Apparently you have the same effect. Well that sucks.”
Lilly laughed while she looked around, and was shocked that Hell’s Gates were located at such a cliché place.
“Yeah, I know cliché right?”
Lilly turned to look at Damien. “That’s exactly what I was thinking. Why the Hollywood sign?” Lilly asked.
She was shocked, this was the first time that she was able to really see what he looked like. Tall, at least 6’, Brown hair, blue eyes, thinish eyebrows, chiseled nose that looked as if it belonged to royalty, thin soft looking lips, chiseled chin, extremely muscular but soft looking body, large capable hands, and he was a naturally tan person. In short he was HOT.
“I’m fairly certain Michael has figured out that I’m not dead, and will send his hell hound out for us soon so we better vamoose. Here hold my hand I’ll take you to a place where they can’t follow us.”
“Before we take off I have somethin to say. Never try to enchant me again, No it didn’t work. It didn’t work because I am your mate.”
“Okay.”

Chapter 3
EXPOSED

DAMIENS P.O.V

“Welcome to Cloud Nine my own little oasis. Now close your mouth wolfy, you’ll get drool all over my freshly fluffed cloud.”
Lilly looked like a goddess up here. My wolf is chomping at the bit just to hold her. She looks as if she is glowing. Wait she is glowing. OH MY BADDNESS, I know what she is. Okay I think that tonight I will tell her everything. Man I’m getting excited just thinking about it. YAY!
I’ve been staring at Lilly for a long time now maybe I should look elsewhere so she won’t think I’m some sort of stalker. So this is the infamous Cloud Nine, it’s amazing. Everywhere I look there is something made out of white marble or clouds? There is a regenerating cloud water fall with a connecting pond which has a marble bottom. Behind the waterfall is a rainforest, I’m sure it has all kinds of wild life. To the right of the waterfall is a white marble swing-set with ivy vines climbing up its sides. There on the other side of the cloud is a big white marble wishing well, with a matching pic-nick/ barbeque pit area. Then in the back yard is a white marble swimming pool which overlooks a large flowerbed outlined in marble tiles. Finally in the center of all of this beauty is a three story white marble mansion, with a wraparound covered porch. Leading up to this amazing home is four marble path ways. The sight alone has already taken my breath away.
Then I looked at Lilly and was mesmerized even more by the prideful look in her eyes.
“What do you think? Do you think I over did it, I over did it didn’t I? Lilly asked meekly. I shook my head with shock and disbelief.
“There is no way you put this masterpiece together. It’s grand and if you did all this by yourself then you my princess are in possession of another servant. For this is as, no almost as perfect as…” I trailed off realizing what I was about to give away. I looked away blushing, and hopping that she would drop it.
“As what”, Lilly asked not wanting to drop it. Of course she wouldn’t she’s a woman after all. “Oh come on tell me please. Damien wills you please tell me, you can’t just leave me hanging like that?” She shocked me when she laid her head on my shoulder, and gave me the puppy dog eyes. I caved like a house with an elephant sitting on its top.


LILLY’S P.O.V

“As you, ok, this place is almost as perfect as you.”
I was shocked, but I would not hesitate, because this may be a game. I placed my hand on his cheek, thinking that I would only have him look me in the eyes. When he turned and I saw him blushing scarlet red everything went out the window, and I kissed him with everything that I’m worth.
When I let go he was dazed and he looked so adorable. I can no longer deny him as my mate. Tonight after dinner I shall expose to him everything that I am, and everything that will make our love complicated. Tell him the reasons why I can’t have him even though I want him to be mine in every since of the word.


DAMIEN’S P.O.V

I was walking by to my own assigned room when I heard mumbling coming from Lilly’s room. So naturally I ease-dropped on her conversation, I felt wrong doing this, but for now it’s the only way she will tell me anything. Sounds like Ashley and Jacquelyn are in there to.

Ashley: Baby girl I know this is a new situation for you, but you will find a way to fix it. I know you will.

Jacquelyn: Yeah listen to ash she knows what she is talking about you know since she’s been in this situation before……… many times. (Jacquelyn laughs)

Ashley: That was for the insult. Now do you feel lucky punk do ya? (Ashley giggled. That girl can never stay mad at her friends it hilarious.)

Lilly: Ash, Jacks, please I’m serious. What do I do?

Ashley/ Jacquelyn: We were serious.

Jacquelyn: Well you can always call Lacklenn he always knows what to do.

Lilly: I’m not calling my fiancée to see if he will allow me to trade up for a better model!

I burst through the door.
What do you mean fiancée? I will be the only man in your life. I will not share you. I’m particular like that. No call him up and dump him or all hell will break loose!”
“Okay um girls do you mind giving us a moment. It’s time for him to know everything. Sorry I’ll tell ya’ll about it later.”
“Yeah, it is about time I know everything and I want to know absolutely every detail to.” I say angrily.
“First, don’t ever barge in like that! You will get seriously injured. Second, I will not give you every single detail. Now last of all third, whip that scowl off your face and sit the heavens down now!” I sobered up real fast. Wow she is really angry.
“Look I’m sorry I kind of lost control of my wolf. It happened so fast. Sorry for ease dropping in on your conversation. Now, will you please let me hear your explanation? As I said before I'm sorry, I love you, and your hairs pretty.” I said the last hoping it would put a smile on her face. Nope, just a shocked expression, I guess I can live with that.
“You, you love me? Really you love me.” She said eyes watering up. Oh shit what did I do?
“I thought you would be happy hearing me say that, but since the hells cat is out of the bag. Yes Lilly Lee Rose Fantierna I love you, and I want to be in your life, in your arms, and in your heart, all because I love you.” I grabbed her in a hug and held on. When she started to speak again I scooped her up in my arms and sat down in the chair that is stationed at the computer desk.
“I, I, I love you to, But I c, c, c, can’t…”Lilly stated. I cut her off with a soft kiss.
“You know what; I’ll start since you are still a bit tongue tied.” I laughed when she punched me.
“I will tell you everything that I have been holding back first okay? My name is Damien Loren Lane Winters, I know, it sounds human. I am an undercover agent for S.N.A.D. (Super Naturals Against the Devil). Those creatures that you accused me of killing aren’t dead. Magic and a little make-up can do wonders.
