Someone to Hold
Chapter Eight: Jealousy
Castiel was resting at home waiting for his stitches to heal now, and Lily had been given a bit of time away from duties to look after him. He winced as he rolled over one morning, hissing in pain as his stitches pulled when he moved. There was a gentle hand on his bare shoulder and he turned to see Lily plumping up his pillows before laying him back against them.
"Good morning." She said softly, smiling sweetly at Castiel before kissing his forehead, "Can I get you anything?"
"Morning, Lily," Castiel replied, "Just some painkillers please."
He noticed the way the young woman's dress swished around her legs as she stood. She wore a chocolate brown knee-length dress with long sleeves and a slightly more revealing top-half than usual. Moving towards the counters in the "kitchen" she poured Castiel a glass of water and opened a small box she kept on the sideboard which had a variety of painkillers in it.
"Ibuprofen?" She asked, looking through the box.
"Perfect." Castiel replied, his side really quite sore with the stitches in it.
Lily took a packet of the painkillers from the box and picked up the glass before moving to the now clean mattress. She sat beside Castiel and passed him the water before pushing two pills from the packet and into her hand with delicate fingers. Tipping the pills into Castiel's hand, the former angel smiled and swallowed them down, finishing the water before putting the glass down on the floor by the mattress. Smiling at Lily, he beckoned her closer and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I want you to go to the lake today, I know it's your week there…" He began, earning a confused look from Lily, "Tell the girls I won't be seeing them anymore."
"Oh, why not?" She asked, completely oblivious as to what Castiel was saying.
"Because I wish to see you instead." Castiel replied, cupping Lily's soft, pale cheek, "Do you wish to keep seeing me?"
"What, you mean like a couple…?" she asked, praying that this was what he was asking.
Castiel nodded and kissed her again, quickly but softly.
"I'm serious too," he whispered, "None of the others are really worth paying much attention to."
"What about Melody?" Lily asked, "She's your favourite isn't she?"
"Not anymore." Castiel answered, kissing Lily again, "And my new favourite gets me all to herself."
Lily smiled absolutely beautifully at Castiel after that, but then thought back to what Tara told her by the lake. The former angel lowered his hand and took hers when he saw pain in her eyes.
"I thought you didn't do virgins…"
Castiel's brow furrowed and his lips parted slightly, before thinking and sighing with a roll of his perfect blue eyes.
"Did Tara say that?" He asked, quite frankly pretty annoyed, especially when Lily nodded and bowed her head, "Right, well that's not true. It doesn't matter to me if you're a virgin or not. It's what's inside that counts."
Lily looked up and smiled weakly before feeling Castiel's lips on hers again.
"You can tell her from me that I'd rather be with you than a whore like her any day of the week, okay? Can you remember that?"
Lily chuckled and nodded, smiling prettily at the handsome man in front of her before cupping his cheek, kissing him tenderly.
"I'll head over there now." She said, moving towards the door and slipping her black pumps on, "Will you be okay to stay where you are for twenty minutes?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Castiel replied, winking at the young woman before she headed out, locking the door as she made her way to the lake.
You sure you want to give up all your girls for her?
Positive. She's worth it.
But, Cas…you're a sex God here. The women crave you; don't you think it could be dangerous for her?
Not at all, the girls do have self control. Besides she means more to me than any of them put together.
You aren't gonna leap straight in there are you? Please tell me that you're gonna take it slow…
Yes, yes, yes, I'm gonna take it slow.
Do you love her?
Pardon…?
You heard.
I don't think so…My feelings are very strong for her though.
Good. Can't have you messing her around.
Shut up, Subconscious! Damnit! I care about her, okay? I'm giving up my women for her, and people round here know it must have taken a lot for me to just give the girls up like that.
Good, good…just checking.
Right, now go away so I can sleep a little longer before she gets back.
"Lily!" Dora called with a nice big laugh, "How's Castiel this morning, child?"
"He's good thanks, Dora, but I'm here to deliver the girls a message from him." Lily replied, all the women looking up at her.
"Go on then, Lily…spit it out." Tara snapped, throwing a pile of clothes to the floor.
"Castiel's stopping his monthly sessions." Lily began, "He won't be seeing any of you anymore."
"What?" The women all asked in unison, "Why?"
"Let me explain fully," Lily replied, "When I was taken to see him a couple of days ago I was smiling so much…because…because he kissed me."
The women gasped while Dora and Melody laughed and clapped.
"Told you he had his eye on you, my girl!" Dora exclaimed, "Was your first kiss good?"
"It was wonderful," Lily answered, "But he said he has a new favourite girl and she's the only one he wants to spend time with…"
"And that's you?" Tara spat, "A pathetic little virgin?"
"Oh, he had a personal message for you, Tara." Lily said, trying to keep her smug tone and smile hidden.
This is gonna be awesome! Payback for her treating me like something she stepped in.
"Oh really?" Tara asked, her face lighting up, "What's that then? Is he going to miss me?"
Lily beckoned her a little closer. God did she want to enjoy this.
"Would you like his message word for word?" She asked, all the women listening intently and Tara nodding excitedly.
Lily grinned from ear to ear. It was so hard to keep the smile away so she didn't bother.
"He said he'd rather be with me than a whore like you any day of the week."
Tara was stunned and started spluttering words out.
"See you around." Lily finished, leaving Tara shocked and bright red in the face as the other women sniggered, trying not to laugh too hard at Castiel's personal message to Tara.
Tara was not impressed. That night, she went to see Castiel while Lily was heading back from the infirmary with more painkillers since Castiel had taken the last ones in the packet that afternoon. Reaching the former angel's cabin, Tara slipped through the beaded curtain to find Castiel sat reading a book in the soft candlelight beside him.
"Hey," she said seductively, "Missed me?"
"You know I don't see you anymore, Tara…so just go away and leave me alone would you? Spare me the infection."
Castiel's retort stunned the woman a bit. She had a history of catching the occasional STI when she was a prostitute before being picked up and brought here, and Castiel managed to reject her and embarrass her in one shot. Not that she didn't deserve that of course after everything she'd done to Lily in her short time here.
"I can make you feel good…you know that, Castiel." She said, the words rolling off her tongue like poison, "You know I can make you feel so much better than that pathetic virgin you've dumped us all for."
"Tara. I. Said. Go. Away." Castiel replied, emphasising each word with more annoyance every time.
Tara straddled Castiel's lap and cupped his face in her hands.
"Come on, Cas…you know you can't resist me…"
