Chapter 6
Levi
Levi hadn’t been kidding, exactly, when he’d given Buttons the white speedo to wear, but he had rather expected the angel to balk at the idea. But Gabriel had just sunk to the bottom of the ocean and looked around, and he had seemed calm and happy in the depths.
And that white speedo. By all the hells, it didn’t hide anything at all, and Levi hadn’t been able to help staring. If Hachi hadn’t been there insisting they go to the surface, who knew what his tentacles would have done.
Levi lazily swam up beneath Gabriel, and yes, perhaps he did a bit more staring.
Who could blame him? When Gabriel’s head broke into the air, Hachi attached to him and climbed up onto his shoulder, poking about with his tentacles.
Hachi wasn’t used to humans who could breathe underwater, and he’d been concerned about Gabriel.
Levi hadn’t thought to let the octopus know everything was ok, and then he’d been distracted.
Hachi continued poking at Gabriel’s face, and much to Levi’s shock, the angel laughed.
Levi had never seen anything quite like it. For a moment, Gabriel was even more shining and bright, utterly beautiful as his face transformed with joy. His laugh was musical, somewhat wild, and completely magical. Levi couldn’t help grinning in response.
“What is he doing?” Gabriel asked, still chuckling a bit, even as Hachi seemed to settle down.
“He didn’t realize you could breathe underwater. He was worried for you,” Levi answered, still a bit shocked over that laugh. Who knew Buttons had a laugh like that? It was so completely opposite to everything else about the angel.
Gabriel’s face was soft as he looked at the octopus, putting a hand out to pet along Hachi’s one tentacle. “Oh. That’s rather sweet. Thank you, Hachi.”
Well, that was it, then. Levi was gonna keep Gabriel. He made the decision at that moment. Yes, he’d been growing rather fond of the angel, and he definitely wanted to see him mussed up, but that laugh… That had been a revelation. Then his kindness to Hachi? Icing on the rather scrumptious cake.
Surely Levi could think of a way for their “Professional Developent Partnership,” or whatever the fuck the leadership team called it, to go on indefinitely.
After all, now that Levi thought about it, surely the underworld should have a separate messenger.
Wouldn’t that be a nice bit of symmetry?
Levi had created social media, so he thought he was uniquely qualified to deliver messages.
Levi looked over at Gabriel and Hachi, who were… finger/tentacle wrestling? That’s rather what it looked like, and Levi thought Gabriel was letting Hachi win. He couldn’t help the laugh that escaped, and Gabriel looked over, blushing a bit.
“Are we supposed to just remain with our head above water?” Gabriel asked him, clearly feeling self-conscious. “Is this what the mortals do?”
“Well, yeah. They can’t breathe underwater. But we can go back down, if you’d like. I can explain to Hachi so he doesn’t worry.” Levi raised a tentacle out of the water and motioned to Hachi, who detached from Gabriel and swam over.
“It was rather beautiful beneath the surface. So calm and peaceful. It was teeming with life and activity, and yet it felt… I don’t know.
Quiet. Weightless.” Gabriel blushed as he finished, and then he was staring at Levi’s tentacles that were lazily swirling about in the water, getting closer and closer to Gabriel when Levi wasn’t paying attention.
Much like real octopi, his tentacles had minds of their own, and they wanted to taste the angel.
“Your tentacles are beautiful,” Gabriel said, surprising Levi yet again. “Do you mind not having wings?”
“No,” Levi answered. “I’ve always loved my tentacles.
Being in water was always so much more appealing than being in the air.
In hell, I used to swim in the lava pools, but they’re a bit boring since there’s nothing living in them.
That’s why I came topside more and more.
It feels more natural to me here than in hell. ”
“Tentacles are so unique, and they’re really lovely,” Gabriel said, his voice quiet.
Was Buttons actually attracted to his demonic form? He seemed to be doing quite a bit of staring. Levi only had so much self-control, and he swam back so his tentacles were out of reach. The little suckers (pun intended) really wanted to get themselves on the angel.
Levi distracted himself by communicating with Hachi and letting him know that Gabriel was just fine underwater. The octopus had a bit to say about that, and Levi wasn’t at all surprised when he swam over and attached himself to Gabriel’s shoulder.
Gabriel just laughed, though, and made an after you gesture to Levi. He sank down, happily going first so he could look up and watch the angel descend into the water.
Gabriel was stunning. His skin shone in the dark water, and his hair floated gently around his face.
Then there was the speedo. Oh, the view.
Levi could clearly make out the outline of Gabriel’s dick and balls in the suit.
He tried hard not to stare as Gabriel came to rest beside him on the ocean floor.
The angel just smiled, letting himself float up the tiniest bit so that his feet weren’t touching the ground.
He looked peaceful and happy, like the weight of the world wasn’t on his shoulders anymore.
It really wasn’t Levi’s fault when a tentacle slithered over and rubbed against Gabriel’s shoulder.
He would have pulled back if not for two things.
First, the angel smiled at him like it was perfectly normal to have a tentacle caressing his shoulder.
Second, Buttons tasted amazing, like ripened peaches; his skin was all warmth and soil and sun.
The angel had such sweetness in him, and Levi wondered how it had gotten lost amidst all his uptight professionalism.
Still, Levi wouldn’t do anything more. No, he definitely wouldn’t. After all, Hachi was here.
As if reading his mind, the octopus made a motion and went off to do some hunting. Levi watched him go, and he was still thinking he would let Gabriel go, despite the pleasure of tasting his skin, except then he looked back at the angel.
Two of his tentacles were resting along Gabriel’s back and shoulders, gently caressing, sucking and unsucking from his skin.
If Buttons had looked uncomfortable, or weirded out, or even vaguely disapproving, Levi would have been able to disengage and laugh about it before taking the angel on a tour of the sea.
Only Gabriel had his eyes closed, and he looked like he did when he was tasting a particularly delicious food for the first time.
He was enjoying the sensations. Levi’s tentacles pulled him gently closer, and Gabriel still didn’t open his eyes.
It was pure madness that made him do what he did next, but he couldn’t help it.
One of his tentacles came up and gently laid against Gabriel’s chest, a sucker laying just over his nipple. Levi was a demon, after all, and really, could he be expected to have restraint? Surely not.
He suctioned on, and Gabriel’s head fell back, his mouth opening on a gentle groan, which Levi was glad to be able to hear in the water. He’d thought a messenger angel’s voice could probably be heard anywhere, and he was glad to be correct.
He didn’t really intend to take things in a sexual direction, but demons, Gabriel was beautiful, and he tasted so damn good.
Levi’s tentacles wrapped around him, drawing him even closer.
That damn white speedo hid nothing, making it clear that Gabriel was hard.
Without conscious thought, Levi’s tentacles wrapped around the angel's legs, and they didn’t even have to do anything, because Gabriel let them float open on their own.
It was an invitation Levi couldn’t resist. He promised himself that at the first sign of hesitation or the first negative word, he would back off.
His tentacles could feel every little tremor the angel made, and if Gabriel made even the briefest motion to stop things, Levi would stop.
He’d wanted to flirt with the angel more and draw out the anticipation, but he couldn’t deny the feast in front of him.
Surely just a bit of tasting would be fine.
A tentacle reached out and gently pressed against the mound in the white speedo, making Gabriel moan again and arch his chest in pleasure. Under the water, Levi didn’t just hear the sound; he felt it reverberate in his bones, and he was incredibly turned on from it.
His tentacles may have gotten a bit… overzealous after that. They slithered into both sides of the speedo, pulling it down so Gabriel’s dick could pop free. In another moment, the speedo was gone. Levi hadn’t made it disappear, so that meant Gabriel had. Levi took that as permission to continue.
One of Levi’s tentacles slid up along Gabriel’s thigh until it reached his dick, and then it circled around the angel’s hardness and gave a little squeeze.
Gabriel’s dick was hard and silky smooth, and Levi couldn’t resist pressing his suckers against the skin.
Gabriel’s taste grew even sweeter with his arousal, and the flavor flooded Levi’s body, making him dizzy with lust.
Buttons moaned again, louder this time, and Levi lost any sense of control over the moment.
His tentacles pulled Gabriel forward until their torsos were touching, and Gabriel opened his eyes at the contact.
He looked lust-drunk, pupils blown wide, face transformed in pleasure. Levi leaned forward and kissed him.
At first, he worried that he was making a mistake—had he read Gabriel so wrong?
The angel seemed stiff and unsure, but Levi’s tentacles were continuing their exploration, and a sucker had attached itself to the tip of Gabriel’s dick to taste the sweet precum leaking out into the water.
Gabriel gasped at the sensation, and Levi licked into his mouth.
It was as if some switch flipped in the angel. He writhed against Levi, sucking on his tongue and grasping at Levi’s shoulders with his arms. They slanted their lips together, pressing, licking, and nibbling, frantic with need.
Levi’s tentacles sucked on Gabriel’s nipples and his dick, and pleasure was cascading through Levi.
His tentacles could feel and taste so much more than anything in his human form, and although they were usually functional, they could certainly serve as a source of pleasure.
Right now, they were like one giant erogenous zone with Gabriel in their grasp.
The angel was steadily leaking precum, and Levi’s tentacle tasted it, shivers of pleasure working their way up through his body.
Their kiss broke apart as Gabriel leaned his head back, his fingers tightening on Levi’s shoulders. Levi couldn’t help tasting with his mouth, as well, and he leaned forward to lick and nibble on Gabriel’s neck.
“Levi,” Gabriel moaned out, and the sound of his voice under the water reverberated again through Levi’s entire body.
Levi couldn’t hold back; his mating tentacle uncurled from where it usually stayed close to his body. It slid around Gabriel’s body and gently pressed between his ass cheeks, rubbing against the flesh there. When it managed to press in and find Gabriel’s hole, they both moaned.
Gabriel tasted even more amazing there, even more uniquely sweet and pungent, and gently teasing at his opening brought a million sensations to Levi.
He slipped just the very tip of his tentacle inside, tasting and touching, feeling around, and with a cry of ecstasy Gabriel came apart in his arms, cum spurting from his dick and into the water.
Levi’s tentacles tasted the sweet flavor, and that, along with the pressure against his mating tentacle, and the flavors and sensations on all his tentacles, made Levi’s own orgasm overcome him.
He withdrew from Gabriel as he spurted into the ocean from his mating tentacle, unable to help sliding it back and forth between the angel’s cheeks as he finished coming.
His tentacles tightened around Gabriel, and Levi put his arms around the angel, holding him close.
Gabriel’s chest was heaving even though there was no air to breathe, and his body was still experiencing little tremors and aftershocks.
His arms continued to grip Levi, so the demon didn’t feel the need to let him go.
Well, that had been a revelation. It hadn’t taken much at all to make Gabriel come undone, and although Levi hadn’t quite mussed him up—the water washed away everything—he swore to himself that they would do this again on land in full fashion, and soon, at that.
Buttons was gloriously responsive, and he had obviously enjoyed himself.
Levi was a little shocked that they had both reached their peaks so quickly—he usually had quite a bit more stamina.
But Gabriel had tasted so good and been so engaged in the experience.
Something about it had been intensely erotic, even though Levi had done far more with sexual partners in the past.
“So that’s what all the fuss is about,” Gabriel murmured.
Levi blinked. He didn’t think Gabriel had said that for him. Did that mean… Was Gabriel…
“Buttons,” Levi said, leaning back and looking at Gabriel’s face, “have you never done that before?”
Somehow, rather prettily, Buttons blushed even though they were underwater. “Oh, we can hear each other down here,” he said, and then he wriggled a bit until Levi loosened his tentacles, and Gabriel kicked off and swam up to the surface.
Levi blinked after him. Gabriel couldn’t be completely inexperienced, could he? They were older than time itself. The angel had been around forever. How could he have existed for so long without having sex of some type?
Levi smirked then, propelling himself off the floor and up after his angel.
If Buttons really hadn’t engaged in sex before, Levi was just the demon to teach him all about it.
It was something humans did, after all, so surely it was a good experience for the angel to have as a part of this partnership.
Yes, that’s exactly what it was—experience in human matters in order to better deliver messages. Hopefully Gabriel wouldn’t question too closely how it would help deliver messages, because Levi wasn’t sure he could come up with a reason.
Still, Levi hoped he could convince Gabriel that sex was an important lesson, because he definitely hadn’t had enough of exploring his angel.
