Kushiel mewled, more cum spurting from his dick as Cass filled him up.
Cass collapsed onto him with one final pump of his hips, careful not to fall too heavily, catching his angel’s mouth in a kiss. They were both panting and sticky, but Cass didn’t care. They kissed ravenously at first, and then more gently, until Cass’s slowly softening dick slipped from Kushiel’s body. Cass rolled to the side, resting his head on Kushiel’s chest.
“My beautiful angel,” Cass murmured, sliding his hand along Kushiel’s chest. He encountered the sticky mess on Kush’s stomach, but he only smiled at the evidence of how undone his angel had come.
Kushiel blushed as he gazed at Cass. “You are the beautiful one, Cassius. You are everything,” he whispered.
“You aremyeverything,” Cass said, kissing one of Kushiel’s nipples just because it was there.
They basked in the silence for a moment before Kushiel asked, “Would you like me to clean us up?”
Cass hummed in agreement, and then his hand was clean, as was Kush’s stomach. “The perks of angelhood,” he chuckled. “Bet you didn’t think you’d be performing that kind of miracle today.”
Kushiel laughed with him, and Cass was overjoyed at the sound. His angel didn’t laugh nearly enough. They settled into each other, snuggled up and content, and Cass felt himself drifting to sleep.
Yes, they were on their way to see a demon sea monster, and they still had a mystery to solve and lost souls to find, buthe would steal perfect moments wherever he could. With that thought, he let sleep overtake him.
Cass awakenedto Kushiel staring at him, gently petting his head and smiling softly at him.
“How long was I out?” Cass asked, giving a yawn.
“Maybe twenty minutes? I think we’re slowing down,” Kushiel answered.
Cass realized it did seem like the engines were quieter, which is probably what woke him. He got out of bed and stretched, and he smiled to see Kush’s lusty gaze sweep over his naked form.
“Sea monster first, then sexy looks,” Cass joked.
Kushiel blushed and got out of bed to get his pants and scarf back on. When Cass got a look at his perfect naked body, he almost rethought the whole demon first thing, but he supposed being interrupted by a sea monster might prove to be a real mood killer.
Cass couldn’t help shifting his sight a bit to look closer though. What he saw took his breath away.
They were bound by a thick golden ray of light, and the bond glowed so brightly that Cass had to resist the urge to shield his eyes. It was beautiful, just like his angel.
He was going to say something to Kushiel, but he heard the engines cut off completely as he pulled on his clothes. He thought Kushiel must know they were soulmates—the angel had declared his love, after all. Still, they hadn’t talked about it, and he wanted Kushiel to know how happy he was about it. Now didn’t seem to be the time, however, since he didn’t think a sea monster interrupting that would be a good idea either. He knew his Kushiel was shy and doubted himself, and he wantedtime to reassure him about how happy he was that they were permanently tied together.
“Let’s get this over with,” Cass sighed. “Although I’m still not sure how exactly we’re supposed to get Leviathan’s attention.”
They climbed up the steps and made their way toward the bridge, the yacht rocking gently on the water. The captain met them on the deck, waving a hand at them.
“Looking for Levi, yeah?” he asked as he came over to them.
Kushiel and Cass both nodded, and to Cass’s surprise, the captain then pulled out a chest and started throwing stuff into the ocean. It looked like coins, jewelry, fancy clothes, and even some paper money.
“Ummm,” Cass began, “what are you… uh…”
The captain smiled and winked at them. “How else do you think to lure a sea monster, eh boy?”
“I don’t get it, though. What is treasure gonna do? Leviathan is a demon of envy, not greed,” Cass responded.
The captain nodded, still chucking stuff overboard. “Of course. Envy is desiring what others have that you do not. Do you think this lovely yacht is mine? Or this money? Or this fine jewelry?” he asked, holding up a handful of necklaces, which he then promptly threw in the water. “Nope! None of it is mine, but Iwantit all, and so I stole it!” he cried out.
It was as if his statement caused a reaction, because suddenly the water was churning and bubbling, and Cass could almost make out a massive body beneath the water.
“Umm, maybe this wasn’t the best idea…” he started, but the captain just cackled gleefully again.
A long, octopus-like tentacle reached out of the water, grabbing onto the side of the boat and tipping it precariously. Cass tumbled toward the side, but Kushiel grabbed him and held on, his footing firm on the deck.
Cass was about to scream, and Kushiel had his wings out, so he looked like he was about to fly them off to safety, when the captain took matters into his own hands.
