She Belongs To The Devil

Adeline smiled and gently ran her fingers on his horns as though they were the most delicate things and not the opposite. And then without wasting any more seconds, she swiftly shifted to her right side and stared at his majestic wing. She gently ran her palm on his wing, sending shivers inside Theodore.

He smiled as though it tickled him and fluttered his wings a little. Adeline chuckled at his reaction and wanted to tease him even more. She lifted both of her palms and ran them through that widespread wing. "It feels so soft and warm. You should let me touch them from time to time," she suggested to him very excitedly.

"Why did you never show them to me before? Were you never planning to let me see your Devil side?" Adeline stood in front of him and pouted. She didn't like it that Theodore had hidden that majestic form of his from her.

Theodore just smiled and took a deep breath in. And then he whispered a little sadly, "I thought I would scare you. I thought you would want to run away from me if you ever saw me like this. So I was afraid to show it."

"I would never get scared of you, Theo. I will always love you and stay by your side no matter what." She said while still oblivious that she was really scared to see him in his Devil form when she was in Azriel's Crypt. That memory was suppressed by Theodore and it was still lost in her own mind. And Theodore had no intention of making her remember that and making her feel bad about herself.

Adeline wrapped her arms around the Devil's neck and smiled, "I found you even when Azriel made me forget you, didn't I?"

Theodore smiled admiringly and said, "Yes, you did find me. I don't know what I would have become if you never found me. I was already on the verge of destroying this whole planet and even destroying Hell. I was so devastated."

"Oh, Theo…" Adeline looked at him lovingly and said, "I am sorry that I put you through all that." She kissed him lightly on his cheek but then suddenly looked at him accusingly, "But why didn't you come to me and try to make me remember you? I am sure that I would have remembered you sooner if you had reminded me. Why did you never appear in front of me?"

Theodore kissed her on her forehead then apologized, "I am sorry for that. But I have to blame Azriel for that. He put the spell in such a way that if I ever appeared in front of you and tried to remind you of me, then it would only make your memories worse. If I had pushed you then you could have forgotten me for good."

Then he wrapped Adeline with his arms as well as his wings and said, "So I put my faith in you. I was sure that you would remember me on your own one day. And I waited for you… or more like I avoided you. Every time I would come to see you secretly, either I would find you crying for no reason, or I would find you extremely frustrated with life itself. And I could not bear to see you in that state. So…"

He stopped himself midways. He did not want to tell the details of what he did in order to avoid her, what kind of violence he resorted to. He was sure that the things that he did would make Adeline feel hurt. And he did not want that.

So he smiled and said, "But all those pain seem like a distant memory now that you are with me. I will never let you go, ever again. Not even if my own father will come to stop me from loving you. No one can make us part now. If anyone tries, I will destroy them, no matter who they are."

Adeline ran her fingers through his hair and whispered, "I am sure you will." She also did not want anyone to come in between them either, ever again.

Adeline then hugged him very tightly. Their bare bodies were pressed against each other's, filling each other's curves. "We should get dressed," Adeline chuckled and then added, "I should be really going now."

Though he did not want to let her go, he also did not want her to get into a difficult situation due to his stubbornness. "Sure. Let's get dressed. And I will drop you and Rion near the Palace."

Adeline suddenly frowned her brows and asked, "You will drop me and Rion? You… didn't you say that you cannot teleport horses?"

Theodore slyly smirked and then whispered in her ear, "And you were naïve enough to believe that. I just wanted to ride the horse with you on my lap. So I lied. And you believed me."

Adeline opened her jaw in disbelief. She scoffed and slapped him on his back. And she playfully scolded him, "You really are a Devil! How can you lie to me like that?"

Theodore stole a kiss of her lips and then smiled whimsically, "Don't pretend like you did not like that horse ride with me. I know you liked it. And I knew you have insisted on teleporting you and Rion back to the Palace if I had told you the truth. So I lied and gave you a magical experience." He winked at her and stole another kiss.

Adeline chuckled and tucked her hair behind her ear. And then she shyly agreed, "Yes, I liked it though. I would love to do it again when we aren't constricted by time."

"Sure, anything for you." Theodore was smiling like a hopeless fool when she agreed to him. He liked her this way. He liked how bold and confident his lover had become.

He liked it even more that she had become confident not only with him but with everyone else as well. He liked that she was already capable of running a Kingdom on her own. He could not believe that the tiny toddler who had accidentally come to his cave was now his lover and also the Future Queen of Wyverndale.. Time sure did fly fast.
