“Well, that’s a first,” she breathes and I can’t help but smirk. I tucked myself away, running a hand through my hair.
“I’d love to see you cum over and over again, but first, we have to get you out of here. There is a door to the Human Realm, but it’s constantly guarded so that’s out of the question. I’m going to find a portal. Stay here,” I say, a little more serious.
She flashes me a warm smile and nods.
Portals are kind of like buses. They pop up randomly, usually when a soul’s ready to jump to the next stop on the afterlife express.
Finding one that leads back to the Human Realm was like finding a golden ticket in a universe made of cardboard.
After what felt like an eternity of dead ends—pun absolutely intended—I saw it. A shimmering tear in the fabric of reality appeared just down the hall, humming with familiar energy.
I recognized the distinct smell of rain and freshly cut grass—definitely Earth-bound.
Cursing under my breath, I sprinted for the alcove.
I yanked the door open causing Lily to yelp, “Let’s go!”
I grabbed her hand and dragged her behind me. Shielding her from being noticed by passing reapers.
We barreled down the hall, the portal shrinking with every passing second, but I could still see the blue sky flickering on the other side.
We came to a halt in front of the portal. It was barely a crack now, just a sliver of light.
“Hold your breath,” I instructed, knowing that breathing in the Between’s atmosphere could lead to some serious existential hiccups. Not fun.
Without hesitation, I shoved Lily through. She stumbled onto the other side, landing with a soft thud before I lunged, squeezing through just as the last shimmer faded.
My face met something soft and…smelly. And covered in fur.
I pulled back, coughing. Lily was sprawled on the grass, laughing her fucking ass off, and I was currently nose-to-butt with a rather large and fluffy golden retriever.
“Welcome back to Earth,” she said, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes.
“Ha-ha, very funny.” I mumbled.
I stood up, dusting off my sleeves. We’re in a field. Looks like the one not far from Lily’s apartment.
“Thanks for bringing me back,” she softly said. I give her a genuine smile, brushing my fingers over her cheek.
“Anytime, just, please. Don’teverdo that again.” I warn and she nods her head.
“Now, go home and get some clothes on. I have a feeling that I have a lot of shit to explain back there.”
As I step through the shadows and back into the underworld, I am greeted by Adimus.
Ah fuck.
He looks at me with a smirk on his face and says, “Well, well, well, look who it is, the reaper who can’t follow the rules. I knew I’d find you here, and I have to say, I’m not surprised. And are you going to tell me why I had to distract Ophiel earlier or…”
I roll my eyes, “Come on, I was only gone for a minute. I just had to check on something. And no, false alarm, but thanks anyway.”
He crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, “Check on what? The human you’re not allowed to visit?”
I can’t help but chuckle, “You make it sound like I’m breaking some big rule by visiting her. I just like to check in on her every now and then, make sure she’s doing alright.”
Adimus shakes his head, “You know it’s against the rules for us to interact with the living. We’re not supposed to get involved in their lives, especially not with humans. They’re too fragile, too emotional. And besides, it’s not like you can do anything for her anyway.”
I sigh, “I know all of that. But I can’t help it. There’s something about her that draws me in. She’s different from the other humans. She has a spark in her, something that sets her apart. And I can’t help but want to be around her.”
