Toxic by K.B. Torres (little red riding hood ebook free .TXT) 📖

away. Was it because I'm part devil? Other then those pictures, the hotel seemed pretty modern. I caught sight of a snack bar, a lounge room, an indoor pool, and a computer room.
"A little birdie told me you're having twins. That true?" Azrael asked.
I nodded, but felt stupid when I remembered he couldn't see me.
"Yes." I said.
"Do you...plan to stay with the father?" Azrael asked, his voice sounded in pain.
"I don't know. He's not a bad guy, and both father and mother like him." I replied.
I'd never thought of that.
"But, does he love you? Or is he using you for sex?" Azrael asked, turning around and walking backwards to look at me.
"Can you not pry into my personal business?" I snapped, making Azrael wince.
I didn't mean to snap at him.
"You're like your father, he hates answering questions." Azrael asked, his tone light.
He takes being snapped at well.
"Do they always tease you? Eve, Marceline, and Evangeline, I mean." I asked.
Azrael sighed.
"Yes...Do you agree with them? Am I that annoying? Or ugly?" Azrael asked.
Azrael looked me in the eyes, and I felt as if caught in a trance.
I tripped, falling right into Azrael's arms.
"Easy there." Azrael said, pulling me up. "I always forget about that bump in the floor. Sorry."
His touch made my body tingle.
"W-why are you apologizing? I should be, for falling into you-" I started to stutter.
"Maybe I like you falling on me." Azrael insisted.
I turned away, trying to hide my blushing.
"You're gorgeous when you blush." Azrael whispered.
He grabbed my wrists and shoved me against the wall. He pressed his body closer to me, causing me to gasp.
"Azrael..." I gasped.
"How can something so ghastly be so elegant?" He whispered.
"Let me go!" I shrieked, willing him to get away from me.
It worked.
He went flying back into the other wall.
Eve and Marceline came running.
"What happened? Did he do something to you?" Eve asked.
"No." I said.
"Then why are both of you bright red?" Marceline asked.
"Because..." I said.
Eve turned and glared at Azrael.
"DID YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER?!" Eve yelled.
"No, mom, he didn't. He was asking questions about my pregnancy that were embarrassing." I insisted.
Eve sighed a frustrated sigh.
"Is that true Azrael?" She asked.
"Yes." He replied.
"Fine then." Eve said, before turning to me. "Feel free to kick his ass."
I smirked and said, "Why give him the pleasure?"
Marceline laughed.
"Looks like you catch on fast." She said.
Eve and Marceline walked away, laughing.
"Why did you lie?" Azrael asked, walking over and grabbing my wrist.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Are you going to answer all my questions with questions?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Do you know you're pretty?"
"Did you know I'm not?"
Azrael frowned.
He pulled me to a room. It was like a hotel suite. There was a huge bed in the middle of the room, and a desk with a laptop. There was a closet, and a wardrobe.
"This is your room." Azrael said, tossing me a key. "Is there anything else you need?"
He sounded like a butler.
"Yes," I said, Azrael raising his eyebrows. "I need something to eat, and if there is a game room..."
"Say no more, milady." Azrael laughed.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to one of the snack bars I saw.
I sat down.
"What's up with the formality?" I asked.
"Just felt like teasing you." Azrael said, quickly adding, "How are you so strong? No angel has ever been that strong...Except Lucifer. Never mind."
"Why were you teasing me in the hall?" I blurted.
"You thought I was teasing?" Azrael sounded horrified.
"Yeah. I know I'm ugly, you didn't need to make fun of me." I said, looking away.
Azrael grabbed my chin lightly and turned my head.
"You're gorgeous. I'm attracted to you, and I've never been attracted to a girl in my life." Azrael said.
"Azrael!" I gasped.
My throat went dry and I coughed.
"Are you okay? Do you need water?" Azrael asked franticly.
I nodded, still coughing.
He grabbed a cup and filled it with water.
"Here." He said, handing me the cup.
I drank the whole thing in a sip.
I gasped for air, able to breathe again.
"Thanks." I said.
"Will you be fine with an apple while I cook?" Azrael asked, tossing me an apple.
When I went to catch the apple, it burned my skin, and I dropped it.
A scream escaped from my lips.
Azrael was suddenly right next to me.
"What happened?" He asked, grabbing my burnt hand.
It was apple red, with blistered sure to form. The skin was sensitive and I shrunk back at his touch.
"I don't know, I touched the apple, and it was like thrusting my hand in fire." I said.
"Holy water." Azrael answered.
"What?" I asked, confused.
What did holy water have to do with this?
"Holy water, that apple was washed in holy water. That may be why it burnt you." Azrael replied.
Azrael bent down and kissed my hand.
Where his lips grazed, it tingled, and the redness in my hand went away.
"better?" Azrael asked, licking his lips.
I looked at him, horrified.
How did he do that? Why did I let him?
"What?" Azrael asked softly.
My chest constricted.
He reminded me of Emmanuel in that moment.
I turned away.
"I'm not hungry." I said in a firm tone.
"Not taking any chances huh?" Azrael laughed.
"Why are you so happy?" I asked.
"Last time I did that on an angel girl, I got this." Azrael said, turning up his wrists to show scars. The scars looked like many loops and swirls, but then I saw it.
It was as if someone raked their claws in a circle on Azrael's wrists.
"Which angel was it?" I asked, grabbing his wrists and tracing the scars lightly.
"Ozaret." He answered, pulling his wrists back.
"Oh, poor baby." I blurted, before slapping my hand over my mouth.
Azrael raised an eyebrow.
"Oh...I can't believe I said that. I'm empathetic." I said, reddening.
"Oh...that's why." Azrael said, sounding disappointed.
Without any other word, Azrael got up and left, walking towards my room.
What To Do...

Emmanuel

I felt as if time stopped. When everything seemed to work again, I found a note in my hand. I opened it.
Dear Emmanuel Slaughter,
I have taken Anastasia to help her until she is back, and hopefully, with the twins. I know you two already decided on Aviance Persephone and Azriel Aaron, But I have to disapprove of Azriel, Aaron, And Persephone. I know the original Azriel, and I know he'll be interested in Zaza, and I don't think you should use Aaron and Persephone because those are religious names, and I didn't want my family forced into god. I know Zaza doesn't like religion. Say 'read the bible' and she will groan. I will invite you to heaven when the twins are born, and rethink the names. Aviance seems like a Zaza name. Also Velvet....and Actaeon...And Zephyr. See you in a week!
-Eve

I read.
"Where's Staz?" Juliet asked.
If there was anything Juliet liked more than clothing, it would have to be babies.
I showed her the note.
"She left without me!? I bet there's cute angel boys there." Juliet excaimed, pouting.
Okay...Maybe Clothes, then Boys, and then Babies.
"Oh well. I might as well get busy." I shrugged.
I turned and started walking towards the door.
"How?" Juliet asked, running up to me.
I sighed.
"I want to go shopping." I said.
"SHOPPING! I WANT TO GO WITH!" Juliet exclaimed.
I sighed.
"Fine little sis." I said.
Juliet hated it when I called her 'Little Sis' or 'Little Sister'.
"Don't call me that." Juliet said.
"Fine." I said.
We walked out and I was stuck spending the day shopping with Jules.

Mom Of Two

Azrael

"Oh...that's why." I said, disappointed.
I left, walking towards her room. She called me baby. No, she didn't mean it. She's pregnant, and she obviously wants to marry the father.
"AZRAEL!" She cried, trying to run up to me.
I just realized, I had been running. As she neared, I noticed her cheeks were shining. She had been crying. Why was I falling for her? My curse...
"I'm sorry if I said anything wrong." Anastasia apologized.
"You didn't do anything. I just needed a walk." I lied.
I really thought she liked me, but she was just empathetic. I thought I had a chance. But, why would I? Ever since Lucifer... No, I wouldn't talk about it.
"Really?" Anastasia asked.
I looked away, but still nodded.
"Oh..." She sighed, then yawned.
"I'm tired. I think I'm going to go to sleep." She said.
"I guess I should go home." I said.
This was my chance, but I flunked.
"Please, don't." She said, grabbing my wrist.
The heat in her fingers made me flinch. I'd never felt that. It must be from Lucifer. Why did she have to be his daughter?
"Then, shall I meet up with Eve?" I asked.
She probably meant for me to check in with Eve.
"No." She said, pulling me the rest of the way to her room. "Take a nap with me."
"What?" I exclaimed.
"I'm freezing cold." She said.
"That's a lie. Your skin is warm." I said.
She looked up at me and cocked her head.
"Please." She pleaded, softly whispering it.
"If your mother catches me, I'll be dead." I said, making a last effort.
"Not if you're clothed." She insisted.
She got on her heels and kissed my cheek. Moan.
"Please. How can you say no to a pretty girl like me?" She pleaded, locking her arms around my neck.
How could her boyfriend resist her, when it's killing me to try?
"Fine." I gave in.
She pulled me inside her room, shutting the door. I felt myself flush when she pulled off her pants, and climbed in her bed. I laid down on top of the covers next to her. She yawned again.
"Why won't you get under the covers? I'm freezing over here." She asked, shivering.
"You know, Angels make very good pillows." I replied, snuggling against her.
She was on her side. There was a knock on
