Chapter-18-"Devils and Angels"

Angelica Devina's POV

"Do you trust me, my Little Dove?" He asks as he thrusts the fingers in my pussy faster and I cum on his fingers clutching onto his shoulders. He has asked me that for the third time and I didn't give him an answer. He pulls out the fingers and they go straight to his mouth as he licks them clean in one swipe looking right into my eyes. Coming closer he kisses my cheek gently.

"Ah!" I moan as he goes to kiss my neck and sucks there. I am sure he is giving me a hickey like he did on his birthday. I don't stop him. He is looking sexy as hell in his black shirt with the top few buttons open showing off his clean muscled chest. It is weird that I want to lick it. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows.

"You do, my Princess. You just don't know it yet." He whispers in my ear before pulling away. He stares at my face like he always does. There is that emotion again. The one that tugged at my heart two nights ago. His hand is gently on my cheek as the other is holding a gun, the small one he gave me. "Keep it for safety. I have serious security on you, but still."

I take the gun and hide it near the garter above the stocking. The dress slit doesn't come up till there.

"You stay with me. It will only be a few minutes. I will be with you the whole time." He reassures and kisses my forehead before leaving.

"Do you?" Jules asks as we both sit in our room. Our room? OUR ROOM?!!! Gabriel's Room!!! We are sitting near the fire place. It's very cold outside and the fire is lit up. She is sitting in the chair in front of me. I sip on the wine like Gabriel suggested for me to have if I am want to.

"I don't know, Jules. I don't want to trust him." I sigh. "All of that happened... Everything that I came to know makes sense with how they treated me. But..." How do I put it in words? "Maybe... Maybe there is a part of me that wants all of it to be a lie. Maybe I want it to be a lie so that I can have my family." Mom has crossed my mind a lot of times, but after Jules told me that she was in on it too... I just lost it.

"You have me." She tries to reassure and I try to give her a smile.

"This week... All of this... What if it turns out to be another lie?" A beautiful Lie, named Gabriel that I will never recover from! "Yes! I do like him, but I am just..." I trail off.

Is there any Universe where what Gabriel told me is a lie and my parents actually are just over protective who love me, then Jules and I came to New York and I fell in love with Gabriel?

"I know one thing for sure. I don't know if I trust Gabriel, but I sure trust Gabriel with my life. He would kill anyone who tries to harm me and I have seen that first hand."

"Boy, he will kill them just for looking at you wrong!" Jules says smiling. This time I smile back.

His possessiveness is known well enough by everyone in the mansion by now!

"Check the right wing again. No one enters the house. The party is only outside." He speaks into the microphone tucked behind his ear. He is currently walking me to Gabriel's office where he is waiting for me. The party outside is on full blast. There are a lot of people. The music is loud and they are dancing. I saw from the balcony earlier. There are guards behind me and Jules is right behind me.

"Ryan." He looks at me as I call him. My arm is linked with his. I know if Gabriel sees it, he wouldn't be happy. But I need to hold on to something or someone before I pass out from the nervousness. He has come to feel like my brother. All of them. Simon and Kylan too. I have been talking with them since two days and they are not as scary as I thought them to be when we first met. Maybe they are. Not with me.

"It's okay. I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me." Why do people want me to trust them? I just nod.

Ryan knocks on the door and we hear Gabriel call us in. Ryan opens the door and we walk in. As soon as I see Gabriel getting up from the table walking to me makes me feel less nervous. I take a step towards him while everyone stands behind. He is such a strikingly handsome man. His eyes meet mine and he comes straight to me taking me in his arms and kissing me like he owns me.

He does! My brain responds.

Shut up!

He kisses me like he forgot there is anyone in the room. It feels slow and gentle yet primal and needful. His lips linger on mine for a few seconds before pulling away.

"You are looking a fucking Angel, you know that?" He asks rhetorically and I bite my lip from saying the words in my mouth. But I choose against it.

"You are looking exactly like your name. You just need the wings. Maybe black ones."

He chuckles at my words running a knuckle down my cheek.

"Why don't you get a room you two." Jules says. Gabriel holds me by my waist and I turn around to them with a face like tomato. I see that there is Kylan in the room too. He comes over and hands me a black masks. I frown. It is embezzled and just covers the part of my eyes till the top of my lips. It looks so beautiful.

"We will once she is ready for it." Gabriel replies giving my waist a gentle squeeze. I hit his chest as I gasp in shock.

"Why this?" I ask holding it up to my face. It has a little staff to it. I just have to hold it up to my face instead of wearing it.

"For the private members, it is a masquerade theme. Only remove it when I tell you to. " He says. "Are you ready?" He asks. As long as you are by my side. I want to reply, but I just give him a nod.

As we walk out of the room, the whole security suddenly splatters. There is only Gabriel, me, Jules and Ryan. They have cameras set up and the security is going to be discreet is what Jules said. She has been spending time with them and working with them. I don't know what and why but she hates Simon's guts. Speaking of him.

"Where is Simon?" I ask.

"He is in there with the guests." Gabriel answers.

"Where are we going now?"

"There is an intimate party being held with just a few important people. I am not putting you out there with everyone." He responds.

"This party is a charade just to pull in the ones we need. We cannot risk your safety. That's why the masquerade theme too." Ryan speaks.

"Has my father come?" For a minute there I completely forgot about it.

"He is yet to." Ryan is the one that answers.

Gabriel and I walk hand in hand to the huge hall that's holding this party. This mansion is so huge, I could walk around it and lose weight. Seriously! The door is open and I hear the guests chatting, laughing, glasses clinking and some curse words too.

As we walk in, the chattering simmers down, the music still goes on, but the eyes fall on us. As we walk in, I see that all the guests have masks on too. Not all of them though. There are barely any women in the room. I immediately shrink into Gabriel's hold, who tightens his hold just for a second for reassurance. A waiter passes by and Gabriel grabs a flute of champagne before giving it to me.

He walks us into the crowd introducing me to a few people. He tells them I am his date as planned. They greet us and talk to Gabriel. I see two things. One is a certain sense of fear... for Gabriel. As expected. Who doesn't fear this Devil who never disguises? Two is curiosity. About me. Their eyes linger on me. They probably wondering who is the woman that Gabriel is keeping so close to him. Very Close!!!

A thought comes to my mind making me giggle.

Gabriel is my captor and I am supposed to ask these people for help to get me out of here. But here I am, baking cookies for this monster, getting finger fucks and forehead kisses. Who am I to complain? He gave me truth? How could I run? I am a willing Captive now!

Gabriel looks at me as I giggle and his eyes linger on my lips.

"I love that." He whispers lowly so only I could hear.

"What?" His eyes meet mine.

"The sound you just made, my Little Dove." I bite my lip. "You are going to make me lose control and take you right here in front of everyone."

"Stop. No!"

Gabriel chuckles and I don't know if it's my red face or me giving him commands. Ryan comes to whisper something in Gabriel's eyes who eyes darken. I frown. What could they be talking about?

"Is my father here?" I ask.

"No. Just someone worse than that." He smiles as he answers. If it's worse what's he smiling about? He would enjoy worse things though. This Psycho! A man approaches us. Gabriel's hold on me tightens. Ryan comes to stand behind the man in my line of sight. "Killian!" Gabriel greets.

"Been a while since we met." The Killian person comments. He is a not as tall and has blond hair. "I see you have got yourself a beautiful date." He comments. Ryan gives me a nod. I remove my mask for a brief minute to greet him.

"Hi!" I greet. "Happy New Year." My mask is back on. His eyes go back to Gabriel and he watches him.

"Happy New Year, Ms..." He trails off as he looks at me again.

"Angelica." I reply.

"Ah! Yes. Such a fitting name for a beautiful face." He turns to Gabriel again. "I see this is serious. The Devil met his Angel, huh?" He smiles.

"Enjoy the party, Killian. We will talk about that deal soon." Gabriel and Killian give each other a nod before Killian walks away.

"What was that?" I ask. It didn't seem normal.

"He was one of the persons we suspected to be your fiancé." His reply widens my eyes.

"Is he?"

"No." Gabriel looks at me. "I won't let them touch you, my Little Dove. It's ok if you don't trust me, but do trust that I won't let anyone or any fucking thing harm you."

I know you won't hurt me, Gabriel. You are becoming my rock!!!

"Here comes another one." He holds my hand as another man walks to us. He reeks of power. Not like Gabriel though. Gabriel reeks of dark things and Supreme. "Zurich!" He greets in his dangerous low tone. This man is lean, but his stride and look are sharp. He smiles just a little.

"Gabriel and..." He looks at me.

"Angelica." Gabriel answers. Is this how Gabriel usually is? Cold, Dark and Demanding? I mean I know he is. But this is just too much! I pull down my mask before they tell me to.

"Angelica." Zurich says without any emotion to his tone. His face shows that he is bored to be here. "Have good Year." I don't think he means it.

"Thank you." I try to smile. His eyes don't even linger. He looks like he wants to get the fuck out of here. I hold my mask up to my face and soon he leaves after making a small talk with Gabriel. My eyes scan the room for my father. Gabriel's team has eyes on him. They have whole cameras set up at the entrance to see who enters and if my father came in, Gabriel would know.

"Just one last person, my Little Dove." He tugs my arm to make me look at him. I open my mouth to ask about my father again. "He is not here yet." He replies to the question in my mind.

"I don't think the last one is my fiancé." I confess my thought and the side of his lips tilt up like they do.

"He is not." He agrees leaning down to kiss my cheek. "Here." He hands me another glass of champagne and I want to chug it down, but try to hold my elegance. Then I remember I don't have to. So I do, what I think I chug it and Gabriel chuckles taking the glass from my hand before setting it down on the table beside him. Suddenly the room feels cold and I shrink into Gabriel's warm chest.

I see a few people move out of the way as a man dressed in a black suit makes his way to us. The aura he is carry is just... It's so thick. It felt dark. Darker than Gabriel's and even I could feel it. He reaches us all the while eyes on me. A chill runs down my spine and I hold Gabriel's hand who squeezes it to reassure me. He has jet black hair and his five O'clock shadow is covering his face.

He comes to stand in front of us. His eyes meet mine and I see they are a warm brown. Maybe that's the only warm thing about him. His eyes turn to meet Gabriel's. Everyone is looking at us now. Like they are waiting for either one of them to explode.

"Gabriel." He greets. His voice thick and dangerous. Not like my Gabriel's low and sexy. My Gabriel? Low and Sexy? I put the thought away. I see Jules hurriedly walking in to the room and sees the man in front of us from behind. Her eyes widen as she looks at me. She looks at Gabriel and the man before looking at me. I frown, but couldn't say anything. Why does she look so terrified?! She obviously knows this man.

"Lucifer." He greets back coldly and my eyes widen. For a second I feel happy for the mask that they could not see my face. Lucifer? Really? Gabriel and Lucifer? Something in me tells me it's such a fitting name for him. "This is Belluci's Pet." Gabriel tells me and I know for a fact he is trying to aggravate the man. Why would he do that? That guy is named Lucifer and I have no doubt it fits him!

But again! Gabriel would do anything! There is definitely history there!

Wait! Did he say Belluci? The man Jules said is dangerous?

Why is that man not here?

What is happening?!
