Chapter 21- Why were you talking to him?

She walked into her room feeling tired, so she jumped in the shower to soothe her sore muscles. She hated being in that house, but she loved the bathrooms which were huge and luxurious with all the amenities her tiny NYC apartment didn't have. While she put on her bath oils and scrubbed her body, she felt relaxed, and a moan crept out of her mouth unintentionally.

She sat in her shower for an hour until her skin became pruned, applied lotion, dressed in her pajamas, and headed to bed. As soon as she hit the soft and warm bed, sleep took her over. It was a peaceful night's sleep until she sensed something hot and heavy licking up her leg. She shook her leg to make sure it was a dream. However, it wouldn't stop licking. She then felt a sharp bite on her leg, which jolted her awake. She felt a figure sitting at the edge of her bed. She felt a warm gust of breath which made her skin prickle, though the breath stopped again, the goosebumps remained, she shook her leg again and felt the familiar feeling that she had the other night that she was not alone. She was terrified and was about to shout when a hand covered her mouth.

“Shh!!”, the figure uttered moving up to her and this made her fall on the bed with the figure hovering over her. "I am about to remove this hand from your mouth, and you will not make a sound, do you understand?", the figure asked.

Alzea nodded without much of a choice, the figure slowly removed its hand and said, “I see that you obeyed me beautiful, you made the demon very happy but at the same time, you made me very angry. You were talking to a boy today, why?”

“Wha…...what do you mean?”, she asked and then remembered today’s encounter with Matt.

“Hmm!!, you remember it don’t you?” he asked smelling her addictive scent.

“Ha…how did you know?” Alzea asked terrified and confirming that it is a demon indeed, otherwise, how would it know that she talked to Matt today?

“I am a demon, aren’t I? I know everything,” he said making her shiver.

“He is my friend, I have the right to talk to anyone I wish”, she said in a brave tone, there was silence in the room for a minute, then she heard a burst of laughter, “you think you are a brave little kitten, don’t you? but I can smell your fear”, he said flipping her making her face the bed.

“What are you doing?”, she asked not understanding his motive. “Shh! Don’t make me angry”, he said shutting her up.

After placing all his weight on her, he began kissing her down her back. To learn more about her, he asked, “You like horror movies?” Alzea, on the other hand, did not understand why the demon would want to know about her interest in horror movies. His plan may involve recruiting them all to threaten her.

She nodded her head as a yes. “What horror movies do you like?”, he asked.

“Conjuring, Insidious”, she not wanting to think about those demons, but who is she kidding, there is a demon hovering on her back right this second.

“Umm!! You always taste sweet. You know demons like human flesh?” he said halting her breath. Is he going to eat me now? I don’t want to get eaten, I like my body intact, what’s the point in eating me, where is going to cook it? Is he going to eat it raw? This made her gag, but she composed herself and said, “Please don’t eat me, I won’t taste good, I don’t eat red meat or anything healthy, all I do is sit here and feel anxious, so most of my organs might not even be in good shape. Eating me would be a health hazard”, she said in one long sentence believing that he would really eat her, and asked, “Are you…. are you Jeffery Dahmer’s ghost?”

This made Rafael laugh harder, listening to his laugh Alzea wondered if demons laugh at all. She didn’t see it in any movies, did those movies lie? and she cursed herself for thinking silly things when she is already in danger.

“I won’t eat you, at least not yet”, he said in his double meaning, “but I will punish you first for talking to that boy”, he said lifting her PJ top.

“What are you doing”, she asked trying to turn her back and see what was going on, but Rafael held her head tight with his hand and lifted her PJ top, unhooking her bra. Alzea’s mind was running faster than a cheetah not knowing what he was doing.

He then dipped his head and bit down on her love handles so hard that she screamed, but her screams got lost in the pillow. He held her skin in his mouth for a good 2 minutes which made Alzea cry, his bite was getting harder by the minute, and she was feeling like he could take out a chunk of her flesh any minute. Her face was still in the pillow as he was holding her head there.

He then moved to the other side of her body and bit down on her other love handle and repeated the process making sure it hurt her. She had to learn that lesson that she belonged to him and not to any other man, how dare she talk to that boy and laugh and smile at him? Alzea was screaming and squirming in his hold as his bite was hurting her a lot, but Rafael did not let it go. He then pulled her skin harder enough and let it go making it bounce a little.

Alzea was tearing up unable to bear the pain, she urged him to stop by pleading with him. After he felt that she had enough, he lifted his head and moved to her ear by brushing it to the side and asked, “will you listen to me and stop talking to boys?” he asked licking her ear lobe.
