The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 10
Rose
After school, Rose was sitting on Dimitri's couch waiting for some more answers as she watched him prepare a sandwich. He was actually trying to make an effort to eat.
"It's your favorite. Ham and cheese with mayo." He said handing it to her.
"Thank you."
"Do you have more questions?"
"Yes. I want to know why a fallen angel marked me."
"I should really introduce you to Alberta sometime. She's one of the more logical angels. They see and know everything."
"Do they know what happened yesterday?"
"I wouldn't doubt it."
She blushed.
"Don't worry o won't get in trouble unless I forced you in it."
"You can do that?"
"Every angel can, but it's strictly forbidden."
"How many fallen are there in the world?"
"Nobody knows."
"Can they have children?"
"Unfortunately, their children aren't nearly as powerful as their parents, but they still can pretend to be human."
"They sound horrible."
"Their parents are worse."
"Have you ever met one?"
"No and I'm glad for that."
"What stuff did you take to make you human?"
"The angels council does not reveal their secrets, but according to the rumors there was a time when angels and humans lived happily together and then the fallen come and the angels had no choice, but to take the essence of a human to save them."
"Wow."
"We don't really have the best history, but I've only been an angel for some time."
"How old are you really?"
"Five hundred and twelve."
Her eyes widened he was five centuries older than her.
"I can tell that bothers you."
"It surprises me, but I think I can make this work."
"Any more question?"
"Just the embarrassing ones."
"Go ahead. I can take anything."
"Do angels lose energy through intercourse?"
"No only kissing and such, but we do split energy with the one were doing it with."
"How many times have you…..?"
"Only fifty times, but I did them before you were born. I am four hundred and ninety five years older than you."
Her smile twitched as she thought of the blonde.
"How long did you know your wife before you were married?"
"A month."
"Have angels ever married humans?"
"We've mated with them, but we've never married them."
"Do you have any children?"
His eyes turned sad as he looked away.
"I had one girl and two boys in my past years. They're all dead."
"Have you seen them in heaven?"
"Once or twice, but they're all busy with their guardianship."
"What about your ex?"
"I haven't seen her in all my centuries. She must have been turned into one of the fallen."
"I'm sorry she killed you. Was one of your children with her?"
"Yes the girl was."
"What was her name?"
"Anna."
"Did she look like you?"
"Only the eyes and the face shape."
"Did you ever get to meet her before she died?"
"No. We've never even spoken a word to each other."
"We're you any one else's guardian before me?"
"No. Angels get very specific assignments."
"What did you do while you waited?"
"I watched over your family or more specifically your mothers. I've also watched my daughter. Any questions about your family?"
"What were my parents like as teenagers?"
"Your mom was pretty and popular too. Your dad was the class nerd who tutored her."
She laughed trying to picture her dad that way.
"Why do they drink and hit me?"
He traced her face and looked into her eyes. She really wanted to kiss him again.
"I don't know how anyone can hurt someone as beautiful as you."
She leaned in while only a couple of inches separated their lips.
"Kiss me." She whispered.
It didn't take his lips very long to find hers. Their lips crashed together in perfect harmony. She opened herself up to him as her back hit the couch. His hands found the edge of the purple shirt and peeled it off. Her breathing picked up once he got rid of her undershirt, but when she tried to take off his shirt he pinned her arms
"Please Rose. We can't afford to lose control."
"If you would buy protection we wouldn't be having this conversation."
He laughed softly as she took in her glowing skin. Even though Dimitri was laughing, she could tell he was week.
"I'm sorry. I don't like taking energy from you."
"It's alright come take a nap with me."
Rose followed him to his room and her body yearned for his warmth. Once they entered, she stripped down to her underwear.
"I'm kind of cold."
"Why did you take your clothes off then?"
"I want body heat."
He picked up on what she wanted and stripped down to his boxers. Dimitri and her climbed into the bed. She snuggled closer and she felt his grip tighten on her as she drifted off to sleep.
