22. Onyx
Chapter twenty-two
Onyx
W e arrived at the sports bar "The Diamond". I am not a sports fan because they all think they are better than everyone and that they are superior beings. Well, news flash, Demons and the Devil are the superior beings.
We all pile out of the SUV that is parked right out in front of the bar and just stand there on the sidewalk, looking at the dilapidated building.
"What the fuck. It's a fucking dive bar." Blaze huffs out with disgust all over his face. Matching the others with their facial expressions.
"I have seen cleaner and brighter places in Hell." Aspen says, kicking a condom wrapper that's on the sidewalk.
"Can we get this over with before I need a tetanus shot?" Ezra asks, straightening his jacket .
"Let's go get our Little Goddess of Death and take her home."
As soon as we walk in, we are met with a dance floor, if you want to call what’s in front of us a dance floor. In reality it’s just an empty area with the same faded mahogany hardwood flooring as the rest of this dump. Behind the dance floor, along the back wall is the bar to order drinks. It only goes about halfway down that wall and then a few tables are beside it. There is a single pool table in the corner with a billiard light hanging off center above it that keeps flickering like the bulb is loose or is about to blow. The lighting in this place is abysmal, casting a heavy gloom over the place, it's almost dark in here.
"It smells like sweaty socks, stale beer, and someone's wet dreams here." Aspen states from behind me. I can imagine the disgust written all over his face as he shakes his head from side to side in disapproval.
I start walking through the crowded dance floor looking for my Little Siren. My shoes are sticking to this disgusting fucking floor, as we are heading towards the bar.
I am so focused on finding her and taking her home; I don't even realize that I ran right into someone. Until I hear a very familiar raspy morning voice say. "Bro, watch where the fuck you are..."
I instantly recognize those gorgeous chocolate brown eyes that are staring at me. Well fuck me sideways, I don't have time to play catch- up with Caden right now.
“Onyx, holy shit! How are you?” Caden says as he brings me into a hug, causing me to tense up a bit. Does he not remember that I don't like to be hugged? I didn't like it when we dated, and I don’t like it now. I can feel the daggers being shot into my back by my brothers. They don't even know about Caden.
“It’s been fucking years. I’m alright, how are you?” I ask clenching and unclenching my fists. Even as I speak to Caden, I’m distracted as I keep looking around for Ember.
“Alright.. happy. Are you alright, man?” Caden asks, lifting an eyebrow and noticing my distraction. Shit, I need to quit fidgeting .
“Yeah, I’m fine just looking for someone.. and I just found her. I'll catch you later." I say making my way to where I spotted my Little Siren. She is over by the pool table, touching and laughing, with who I assume is Niko. I can feel a violent rage fill my whole body and all I see is red .
I reach them in just three long strides and slam my hand around his throat.
Ember looks at me in shock. "What are you doing here?" She yells at me
Squeezing Niko's throat harder, "We are here for you, Little Siren." I barely get out, with jealousy lacing my voice.
"Onyx, stop it, he can't breathe!" She yells at me, trying to grab my arm. I ignore her feeble attempts, I want this guy to realize that he fucked with the wrong Horsemen. Death.
She is hot as fuck when she gets angry. I might have to piss her off more.
"What the fuck guys, stop him. Now!" She yells, glaring at Blaze, Ezra, and Aspen. Who are all standing behind me, blocking the bartender's view. With a smile on their faces, waiting for their turn at Niko.
Next thing I know is that a sexy booming voice from my past speaks again. Maybe he will wanna join in on the fun. I do remember all the fights we fought together. He enjoyed them just as much as I did. “Onyx, what the actual fuck are you doing?”
“Hey Caden! Wanna help me kick this guy' s ass?” I look over my shoulder at Caden when Niko’s face drops, a sudden realization of what's to come.
“Yeah, I’ll help you.” He shoots me a wink, ah just like the good ol’ days. Next thing I know his hand meets my face.
“Ow, that fucking hurt.” I smile as my dick starts to stiffen some. “I see you remembered how to turn me on, love.” Fuck did I just say that out loud. Looking around, everyone looks flabbergasted, even Niko, and I see Caden rolling his eyes.
"God, love, I miss seeing your delicious chocolate eyes roll for me." I say with a wink and a sinister smirk. Shit, I spoke without even thinking again.
“Only for you, Daddy. You know I can never say no to that delicious dick. What do you say, for old times sake, I know you used to love it when…” He goes to my ear, “I did this,” Caden nips my ear and grabs a hold of my balls. Causing a groan to roll out of my throat. He whispers the last word in his most seductive voice, the one he always used with me, “Daddy.” He winks at me, knowing damn well how hard my cock just got from that one word. Fuck, why can’t I ever control myself around him?
“Come give Daddy that hawk tuah. Nobody does it like you do.” I reply with the come hither motion with my middle finger and pointer finger. It's like we are the only two in the room. I keep forgetting everyone else.
“Let me spit on that thing for you. Covering that fine dick with my saliva while you feel my warm mouth cover that thing I missed the most.” Caden pushes his hips up against mine, slowly moving to get some sort of friction for us. His hands are still holding my balls as he starts to play with them.
“Excuse the fuck out of me.” Ember stares between the both of us. Her voice was coated with hurt and sadness in her eyes.
“Like I could ever forget. Oh, he didn’t tell anyone.” Caden’s laugh.
“Oh, you are one to talk; you didn’t even tell Niko.” Payten says.
“Hey dude didn’t see you there.” I say, he rolls his eyes at me.
“Sounds about right. You never “saw” me. Especially that one time when you and Caden were..”
“Shut up.” Caden yells at him.
“Nobody asked you to speak up right now.” I say, letting go of Niko’s neck, popping out my hip and resting my hand on it .
“Hold up, someone has some fucking explaining to do.” I hear Blaze’s deep voice interrupt the banter..
“First things first. Why the fuck were you choking the fuck out of my boyfriend.” Caden asks me.
"Okay, so, funny story. I thought Niko was trying to go after Ember. To become a thing. Since he is now a famous baseball player." I say with my hand rubbing the back of my head.
Caden starts laughing with me. "Yeah, that sounds like the possessive and psychotic Onyx that I know."
"Okay, and Blaze, long story short. Caden and I used to date years ago, back in high school. I moved to his school our junior year. Then we hit it off, and the rest is history."
"Ye.." Caden tries to reply but gets interrupted by Aspen.
“Why don’t we all go hang out at End Times? It’s cleaner, nicer, we get free drinks, and we can keep talking about this instead of staying in this dump.” Aspen says with disgust written all over his face.
“Yeah, there we can get free drinks.” Aspen states.
“We will also have a private place to talk.” Blaze pipes in.
Looking at Ember she looks confused yet relieved at the same time. When she goes to say something. I start to prepare for her wrath, but she only says. "Sounds like a plan to me. I need lots and lots of strong whiskey after this."
Oh, this is going to be fun…
Five Hours Later
We finally arrive at the Chertanov Mansion, from a night out with Caden, Niko, Ember, and my brothers. There was tons of drinking, and tons of fun games were played. If only the night was recorded, so I could rewatch it over and over again.
Getting that close to him again was fucking amazing. Everything was the same as I remember. Ember and Niko looked like they had fun. I think. I know Aspen, Blaze, and Ezra had the time of their lives.
“Why the fuck would you act like that with someone else in front of me?” She scolds me as soon as we start walking up stairs. The guys all went into the gym for a bit and I wanted to talk to Ember about what was bothering her.
“I’m so sorry, Little Siren. It just kind of happened, just like every time I am around him. I can’t control myself. Why is this a problem all of a sudden?” Trying to reason with her. “What’s the problem?” She repeats my question, sarcasm lacing each word as she crosses her arms over her chest. FUCK, this is a lost cause at this moment because she is fuming. I thought everything was fine because of how the night ended. But once we got in the car to head home she was short with me, wouldn’t talk with me, or even let me kiss her.
“You say you were coming to get me. Yet, you were all over Caden and didn’t give two shits about me.” She tries to shove past me to get into her room.
“I was there for you, but...” Not budging and becoming like a brick wall in her way.
“But, what, Onyx? Cat got your tongue?” She cocks her head to the side, hands on her hips. This sass of hers is going to get her fucked and not her questions answered. My thoughts start to wonder to fucking the attitude out of her, tying her up, and having her at my mercy. That should work. Right? My cock straining against my pants to be freed,just by thinking about the red marks I would leave across her body. Handprints, cuts, bruises, hickeys, rope burn, bite marks…
I am pulled from my dirty thoughts about my dirty Little Siren, with a sharp stinging pain on my cheek. Did she just slap me? My cock is throbbingin my pants. I want her to smack me that hard while she rides me.
“Onyx, were you even listening?” She looks even more pissed than she did when we got home. I just stare at her, not sure how to put my feelings for her into words or to tell her that Caden means nothing to me anymore and he is in my past, but she is my future.
“I. Ummm. I. Fuck.” I stutter in frustration. I have never told anyone my feelings about them, not even Caden. He was my first love, and I never wanted to fall in love again after him. Let alone with another mortal. Why is this so fucking hard? Why can’t she just read my mind and know everything?
“Fuck.” Screaming as I pull at the hair on my head, pacing back and forth, not sure how to say any of the shit going on in my head.
“Are you even going to talk to me or just scream “fuck” every time I ask you something?” She asks her face a picture of hurt and sadness, contradicting her rage towards me.
Why can’t I just tell her that I am falling for her? I don’t want to go a day without her. I am the demon God of Death of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. She is only the second person that I have loved. Wait. Did I just actually admit that I love her? Oh. My. Satan. I love her. I am in love with her. She is the only mortal for me. I don’t want anyone else, no mortal, no demon, no anything. She is mine, and I am only hers. But why can’t I just come out and say it to her? Why is it so hard? She wouldn’t reject me. Would she?
“You know what Onyx? Fuck you! Come find me when you can actually speak to me about this like an adult.” She pushes me out of the way and slams her door in my face.
Walking into the room beside hers, closing the door, and flopping on the bed. “I will one day find a way to tell you everything, Little Siren.”
