Chapter 22

(I do not own anything. Please read and review. Thank you as well for the funny reviews made my day. I'm glad you all liked the last chapter.)

Bella blinks her eyes a few times realizing she'd fallen asleep against Castiel's chest. She lay there for a moment feeling his hand running along her shoulders. There was a knock at the door however and Bella shot up. She giggles a bit and hurriedly tosses Castiel his clothes.

"Um just a moment."

Of course Castiel was dressed in the matter of seconds. Bella was still hopping around to get her other foot into her pants. She rushes to get her bra and shirt on. She gives the room a once over and opens the door.

"Took ya long enough."

Dean enters the room with Jo. Jo's eyes widen as if she already knows. Bella grabs her by the arm and puts a finger to her lips. Jo covers her mouth to keep from laughing. Bella closes the door.

"So did ya'll take care of it?"

Bella clears her throat. She thought of the irony in that question.

"Huh?"

Dean looks to her oddly.

"You know the dream issue?"

"Um yeah."

Jo's eyes fixate on Bella's panties on the floor by the bed. She makes it a point to walk that direction and kicks them under the bed. The last thing Bella needed was her brother seeing that. Bella nearly chokes on her water when she notices this. She mouths the words "thank you" when Dean isn't looking. Jo nods and sits down.

"So like no big deal or what? You two seem awfully mellow considering the situation."

Bella bites her lower lip trying to keep from losing it.

"What about you Cas?"

"I can't find my underwear." Both Jo and Bella slap their hands against their foreheads eyeing Cas.

"Um what?" Dean turns to Cas oddly.

Castiel simply nods and takes a seat.

"Well other than Cas losing things and apparently walking around commando?"

"He vanquished the fallen angel."

"Fallen angel? So Cas was right afterall?"

Bella nods.

"He will not harm Bella anymore. He's been sealed away for good."

"Sealed away?" Bella questions.

"Yes Bella he cannot escape purgatory. Only humans can, which was another reason I had to give up my powers in order to get to you. I would have been stuck there myself otherwise. Joshua will face eternity in purgatory now."

Chills ran down her spine. The idea of him being amongst all the other creatures her and Cas had faced, made her pray she'd never see that place again.

"So just like that? It's all over and done?"

Bella shrugs.

"And we're just going to ignore the fact that you almost died? That and how jacked up this all was?"

"I'm hungry anyone else wanna eat? Jo?"

Dean rears back at this.

"Stealing my lines now?"

Bella smiles and grabs her jacket.

Dean sighs but he too was hungry and when it comes to food he doesn't argue.

"OK fine let's eat."

Jo softly laughs as she follows him out the door. Bella locks up and pulls the door shut as she and Cas step out. She felt funny walking around in her jeans with no panties. In fact she was sure this was the first time she'd ever gone without. They all get into the Impala.

Bella reaches over put in one of Dean's eight tracks. She hits her head though on the way back.

"Shit…" She freezes as she feels Cas pop her on the butt. Her entire face glows red as she turns around.

"Cas?"

"You cursed."

Jo's dying with laughter and Bella sits back staring upon him in disbelief.

"Cursed?"

Castiel nods as if sure of himself.

"So you spanked me?"

"Affirmative."

"WHAT?!" Dean says nearly swerving off the road.

"Nothing D."

"Where did you learn that Cas?"

"The pizza man, when you love someone you're to punish them if they do something wrong."

"Um yeah… speaking of which… D what the hell? What's the pizza man?"

Dean pretends not to hear her and turns up the radio.

"Fine! Jo what's the pizza man?"

Jo slouches in her seat.

"Ok fine! D can you stop by the drug store."

"Why?"

"I need a Dr. Pepper, condoms and a pregnancy test."

His eyes widen.

"Why the hell do you need condoms and a pregnancy test?"

"Well I need the condoms for sex and a pregnancy test in case the condoms break."

Dean stops the car pinching the bridge of his nose. Meanwhile poor Cas's eyes are wider than an owls. Bella didn't notice the look on Cas's face she was too busy messing with her brother.

"Please tell me you're just fucking around?" He says and starts driving again.

Bella laughs.

"That's exactly what I'm telling you."
"JESUS CHRIST!"

"LADEDALADEDAAAAA!" Bella sings to continue torturing her brother.

Cas tugs at her shirt.

"Bella?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you truly expecting?"

Jo's eyes close in stifling laughter. Dean still trying to regain composure and Castiel's sweatin' bullets.

"No Cas. I was just messing with D."

Castiel nods but still with that nervous expression. He tugs at her shirt again.

"What Cas?"

"I was just pondering because we did do the pizza man."

"AHHHHHHHH!" Dean yells covering his ears and slams on the brakes.

"CAS OUT!"

"D!"

"OUT OF THE CAR NOW CAS!"

Castiel gets out of the car. Dean peels back out and speeds down the road leaving Cas behind.

"Where are we going?" Cas whispers to Bella. Jo and Bella cover their mouths.

"Son of a bitch!" Dean mutters under his breath.

The four of them sit in silence once they get to the restaurant. Dean eyes Castiel ruefully. Jo and Bella share the same grin at the moment trying not to laugh. Meanwhile Cas is still thinking about what he and Bella did. They get their food and nearly 30 minutes have passed. Randomly they all hear Bella.

"IT'S PORN!" She says slamming her hand on the table.

"By George, Watson I believe she's got it!" Jo says laughing.

"Watson?" Dean questions.

"Well yeah we can't both be Holmes."

Bella tosses a fry at Dean.

"Ya jerk you let my angel watch freaking PORN!"

"Any louder there sis?"

Bella turns to see they have an audience. Bella clears her throat.

"And it's not our faults he couldn't look away."

"Our! Oh my God Jo you were there too?"

Jo shrugs.

"Well you were too actually."

"Um no I wasn't."

"Actually Bella it was already on when we came into the hotel."

"You didn't want me to emulate Dean."

Bella covers her face.

"You mean that day I handed you the remote."

Cas nods.

"It made me feel strange but good. I prefer you, Bella; your smile is like a light in the darkness. Until then I didn't know just how dark it truly was."

Bella's jaw drops a bit a knot forming in her throat. Even Jo was surprised by Cas's words. Dean himself had to admit that was pretty smooth.

Bella beams at this and wraps her hands around Cas's arm leaning against him. Dean sighs but says nothing. Dean throws down the money for the bill and tip. He rises from the table and they all follow him out.

When they return they all stand outside the parking lot.

"Bright and early tomorrow, Bella you need to make sure you give Cas the run down on this case."

Bella nods and salutes her brother. Dean puts his arm around Jo and starts heading to their room. Cas unlocks the hotel and steps aside allowing Bella in first. He locks the door once he pulls it to.

Bella takes off her shirt and tosses it about the room. She doesn't even bother looking back she continues towards the bathroom taking a layer of clothes off with each step. Cas picks up each article of clothing behind her following.

Bella turns and laughs seeing he's holding all her dirty clothes.

"Cas…" She says shaking her head.

She grabs them from his hands and drops them on the floor.

"I'm gonna shower you wanna join?"

"Join?"

"Yes Cas haven't you ever showered?"

"No, we do not require such things."

"Will you melt?"

"Why would I melt?"

Bella softly laughs.

"It was a joke Cas. You still have a lot to learn."

"But you'll teach me." He says in that matter of fact tone.

"We'll teach each other Cas."

Bella notices how he's staring at her. She blushes a bit and starts the shower. Bella makes her way back to Cas. She undoes his tie and takes off his trench coat and shirt. She takes a minute to appreciate the sight running her hands along his chest and back. His tummy was flat stimulating to the eyes and to the touch. He was always so warm. That was just a Cas thing. He was always warm to the touch. "Finish getting undressed and you can join me."

Cas nods already showing his eagerness. Bella gets in the shower and starts washing her hair. Cas steps inside and is literally taken back. He couldn't believe the sight before him. He watched as Bella's eyes were closed and the water ran down her body. This image made him yearn even more.

She opens her eyes she notices for the first time just how well-endowed he truly was. Cas was already throbbing and ready to go. She watched fascinated on how it moved about without it even being touched. Bella didn't have experience with naked men she herself was learning through Cas. However she felt the need to remind herself that this was merely his vessel. She'd not a clue what Cas actually looked like. This rather saddened her but she understood it'd be impossible. Bella had a feeling though that Castiel just made Jimmy Novak seem sexier than he truly was. She doubted he had the same expressions, same mannerisms, same puppy dog stare, all they shared was the body. Castiel made it what it his own, sexy pure and simple. If she'd ever ran into Jimmy before Castiel ever took over as host she doubted she'd even give him a second thought. She takes his hands leading him into the water. The water runs alongside both their bodies. Her head rest against his chest as his arms go about her waist. She starts kissing along his chest and neck. She found herself having to tiptoe to even reach as he was a bit taller than she.

Cas noticed this as well so he picks her up. Cas manages a way to slip directly into her. Bella lets out a soft moan. He starts to move her body about him. He remembered her asking to go slow so he does. Bella nevertheless looks upon him.

"Cas you can move how you want now. It won't hurt me."

Before Bella can truly think Cas has her against the shower wall. Her legs are wrapped around his waist and her arms about his neck. Cas surprises her with the intensity behind his movements. He was rock hard inside her and with his hands about her hips; he moved her about him urgently with heated passion he began kissing her. Yet again Bella's taken back as his lips move from hers down to her breast. Bella couldn't control it even if she wanted she felt herself orgasm at even more vastness than before. Her hips started to buck against him.

Cas sucked on her breasts curiously and began to notice how much she reacted to this. He also loved the feeling of them inside his mouth he wasn't sure why. Not only did it make him feel good, they tasted good as well. Cas was beginning to feel that built up pressure again. He moved away from her breast and looked upon Bella something within him lit within. He found himself pressing against her the wall even more so. With his last few thrusts he slammed into her. He felt her wetness against him as he did this. The continuing build up was too much to endure and when he released Cas thought he'd never stop as he kept coming with each last stroke he gave.

Neither moved at first their eyes locked. Bella felt emotional all a sudden and she buried her face into his chest again. Cas gently placed her back down. This odd feeling flowed through Bella she was happy so why did she feel the urge to cry. She didn't understand what had come over her.

"Bella?"

She nods against him almost afraid to move.

"Are you alright?"

She nods again feeling stupid. Bella forces it back swallowing the thick knot within her throat.

The last thing she wanted was to make him think he'd done something wrong. She knew that's exactly what he'd assume. It couldn't be further from the truth. Once she manages to gain control of herself. She steps back and finishes her shower, every once in awhile she feels his hands about her. She knew he was curious. She didn't mind this she wanted him to learn and touch as much as he wanted. At one point though his fingers run along her stomach, Bella bows over laughing.

"That tickles Cas."

He smiles. Cas rarely smiled. In fact she could only count a handful of times.

"You should smile more often." She says and kisses his cheek.

She steps out and lets him finish showering. Bella towels off and takes notice through the glass shower door Cas was actually scrubbing down like she had. He then opens the door and steps out. Bella hands him a towel then goes and shuts off the water. Of course by the time she turns around Cas is already dressed. His clothes looking crisp and clean not a wrinkle or unpleasant smell to him.

"That hardly seems fair."

"What?"

"Just how easy that comes about for you."

Cas see's Bella pop some sort of pink looking pill. He picks up the round package looking lost.

"What's this?"

"Birth control pills."

"For prevention of gestation?"

"Precisely."

He nods and places it back down.

"Is that possible?" He questions but more rhetorically than anything.

Bella wasn't sure what to say. Cas sits down at the table looking to be in thought. She curls into his lap before long Cas see's she's fallen asleep. He carries her to the bed and lays beside her. After a few hours of holding her he gets "called."

He shakes her awake remembering what she asked of him.

"Bella?"

"Yes Cas?"

"I have to go. I will return."
She nods tiredly.

"Ok Cas."

He kisses her forehead and vanishes.

Castiel appears where he was called to. He sits at the bench.

"Castiel…"

"Raphael."

"Haven't seen you around lately brother."

Castiel nods.

"I've been on a mission."

"So I've heard."

Raphael sits down his host tall and African American.

"Tell me Castiel what does this mission detail of?"

"You already know Raphael."

"Yes but I wish to hear it from you."

"To hunt alongside of the Winchesters for our father's artifacts."

"Anything else?"

"No."

"Interesting, so just how many of these artifacts have you found?"

"Only one so far."

"One? But you've been gone for quite some time."

"Yes well one of the human's was greatly injured by a recent mishap. She still needs time to recoup."

"Tell me Castiel was it father himself that sent you on this mission?"

Castiel sighs.

"Yes, through Ezekiel."

"You believe our father translated through Ezekiel?"

"I've no reason not to believe otherwise."

"Hmmm."

Raphael peers over at Castiel. Castiel's hunched over with his elbows about his knees.

"I fear you're crossing a thin line. You're forgetting who you are Castiel. You're a soldier of the Lord. You are not human. You are growing to be indulgent."
"You are wrong. I've not forgotten who I am or the task at hand."

"Castiel you need to decide just who you serve. Is it father? Or is it the humans?"

"Raphael you know it is father I serve. But that does not mean he doesn't want us to serve alongside of the humans. They are just as equal among us."

"There is nothing equal in comparison. Fight or serve Castiel? Which is it?"

"Both…"

"You must stop this charade. Do what you were sent to do or you may very well find yourself cast aside. We serve a more important task then these humans could ever fathom."

"Do you seek to threaten me Raphael?"

"No Castiel… I do not threaten. The choice is yours. I recommend you choose wisely."

Raphael disappears. Castiel's sits there for a moment. He wasn't sure what to make of any of this. All he knew was he wasn't turning his back to God or to the Winchesters
