Out of the Darkness and Into the Light

Chapter Three

Alexia took a deep breath as she lay on her side turning onto her back to look at Crowley who slept peacefully beside her.

She took in his handsome face, his steady breathing and the hold he had of her waist. He was clearly very tired, and he'd had plenty to drink the night before. As he stirred, he pressed a tender kiss to her temple and settled again, leaving her with little option but to lay there and wait for him to wake up.

She liked sleeping Crowley actually. He looked more peaceful than he did when he was awake, but also, there were no sarcastic comments or attempts at deals, there were no harsh words or cruel jokes, yet there were no compliments towards her or the occasional attempt at romantic phrases, or caring words. Those things, she missed.

He woke up not seconds later though, smiling gently at her and stroking her face. As she took his hand in her own and kissed it, she knew that the day ahead of them was definitely going to be a good one.


Crowley had taken the liberty over the next couple of weeks to upgrade the house he shared with Alexia and as she stood in her own music room, she sang along to Set Fire to the Third Bar, but she didn't know Crowley was watching from the doorway.

She was so focused she couldn't see that he was there, and the one thing he realised he loved as much as her voice was the way that on certain notes, her right eyebrow would raise a little with her concentration. She began to play her violin along with the track, the movement of her fingers sending a tremor down the demon's spine. God, the things he imagined her doing with those fingers...

That was another step they were working to. Sex. They'd actually not slept together yet, and to say that Crowley had spent almost twenty nights in the same bed as the sexy young woman who was playing before him and not fucked her...Well, he was pretty damn proud of himself, he had to admit it. He desperately wanted, however to rip off her clothes and just take her on the spot, but he just couldn't do that.

But when the young woman began to sing to Lithium by Evanescence, he truly found how beautiful her voice was. The pain that lay in it, however, seemed to break something inside his body. She was really focused and devoted to nothing but that song, those lyrics and that music. She grabbed her violin and distorted it to play solo parts on it as she sang, and the way she hit those notes made his mouth go dry. The final chorus sent chills down his back and made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up straight, especially the high E she somehow reached.

He vanished as she finished her practice, just as she was about to turn around.

He watched as Alexia entered the living room, flopping down on the sofa and just laying across Crowley's lap, feeling his hand stroking her head tenderly before he reached down to hold her hand. A small smile crept its way onto his face as she brought his hand to her lips and kissed each knuckle gently, and the very sensation of it was enough to cause Crowley to suppress a moan.

"Darling?" He asked, knowing very well the name made her smile.

"Yes, sweetheart?" She replied, feeling Crowley slide his hands down her body to stroke her thighs.

"I've got some candles..." He began, "And I'm going to make you a pasta dinner. Then...I thought we could go to bed a bit earlier."

Alexia beamed, snuggling a little closer to her lover. She'd been waiting for what he was offering for a while. She'd half expected it after the first week, but it seemed Crowley was being really quite careful with regards to their relationship. She had a playlist on her iPod full of love songs. They could use that. And, she'd bought new lingerie the other day. She could wear that.

"Hmm." She breathed, "Sounds like an amazing idea, where do you come up with them?"

"Must be my clever brain." He said, earning a chuckle from her.


The couple sat comfortably together that night, both gazing at each other over a candlelit table. Crowley had worked his ass off to make this dinner and to make it as special as possible. He'd done everything he could for Alexia during the day and he had tried to give her enough time to pamper herself with a nice hot bath.

During her bath, Alexia had worked to make her body as beautiful as possible for Crowley, should the need arise, and she also relaxed herself as much as was physically possible. But now, here they sat in their gorgeous dining room, the soft sounds of Eva Cassidy drifting gently through the room, much to Crowley's disgust. Alexia had loved the meal. It was totally divine and Crowley clearly had worked stupidly hard to make it as nice as it was.

They washed the dishes side by side, both eventually moving to the living room where they sat curled up together on the couch, kissing and caressing one another gently and carefully. Alexia's heart was thundering in her chest, as Crowley's was in his, especially at the thought of the two of them getting naked. Their kisses grew desperate and frantic, both of them just starting to undress each other.

Then came the knock at the door...
