In The Daylight

  Morning light pooled through the open sheets, bathing the bed in the warm rays of the late morning. Feeling the warmth dancing across her closed eyelids Harper buried her face deeper into the pillow beneath her when a soft pinging sound caught her attention. Eyelids snapping open Harper turned towards her nightstand where her phone lay. With furrowed brows she grabbed it and the message on the screen had her fully awake.

  Sitting up Harper ignored the late hour and instead turned her attention to the gps app she installed to spy on Olivia. With wide eyes she watched the blue dot speeding through the streets, getting further and further from home where Olivia should be since she was still grounded. Harper watched as the dot finally halted at a unfamiliar street. Exiting the gps app Harper checked the messages sent to Olivia's phone, an extra feature from the chip she installed yesterday. Everything Olivia did on her phone; messages, phone calls, hell even the games she downloaded Harper would receive. Skimming through the nonsense tweets from friends Harper switched to the phone log but found nothing to explain why Olivia was in the middle of no where.

Lowering her phone Harper released a sigh when a muffled groan sounded from beside her. Turning towards the sound she couldn't help the corners of her mouth from switching into a smile. With both hands under a pillow and his face buried into the polka dotted encased pillow was Kiev, sëx demon and heir to the demon throne. His eyes were closed, his lips slightly parted but the remainder of his features were relaxed and gave him a gentler, sexy look. It almost made him seem angelic with the golden rays of morning light bathing his bare back in its warmth. His bronze skin glistening like the sands of Bermuda. His pitch black hair glossy as if fell carelessly over his left eye. The image had her breath catching in her throat as she stared in awe at the Adonis laying in her bed. It was every woman's fantasy and a photographer's dream come true. And Harper was both.

Sinking her teeth into her bottom lip Harper hesitantly lifted her phone as she open the camera app. The moment was too mesmerizing to fade away into lost memories. Snapping a couple shots Harper glanced down at the screen and smiled when another groan came from Kiev.

Lowering the phone Harper glanced down and found his forest green eyes staring back at her, an extra shimmer in their depths.

"You're awake." She blurted out breathlessly.

Propping himself onto his elbows he scrunched up his nose in disgust. "Actually I never fell asleep, I did try and it was torture."

A smile formed on her lips as she shook her head. "Why would you try sleeping if you didn't need it?"

For a long moment he didn't reply, his gaze sweeping across her face as a tender look flashed in his soft eyes. A warmth spread across her cheeks as his gaze traveled down to her bare chest, his lips parting as they settled on her erect nìpples. She completely forgot her nude form and had the sudden urge to hide from his heated stare. It took all her courage to have her arms remain at her sides and her head held high.

"I didn't want to seem creepy when you wake up and I'm just sitting here staring at you." He finally responded. His gaze darted to the phone on her lap before returning to meet her bashful stare. "You didn't seem to mind being creepy though."

"I didn't- I mean I did but not..." Pausing mid stutter Harper shook her head, an awkward smile forming on her lips as she glanced down at the screen.

  She hadn't realized how this would appear to him nor did she think to confirm he was asleep. The artist within her perked at the priceless moment and without a second thought she took it, quite literally. As the silence stretched between them she knew there was no squirming out of the situation so she opted for honesty. Despite the way her cheeks heated with embarrassment she met his quizzical stare and immediately regretted it.

"I couldn't resist." She muttered and handed him her phone. With a faint mirthful gleam in his eyes Kiev glanced down at the screen as she continued. "You looked so different, less threatening more relaxed, more human yet immortal, and..." Taking a calming breath she continued in a soft and uncertain tone. "Beautiful."

  His head snapped up at the last word causing the heat in her cheeks to flare. Ignoring his heated gaze she brought the phone back to her side and placed it on the nightstand. Harper was determined to keep the awkwardness at bay, that included the picture incident and there was no better way to deal with an incident as uncomfortable than with pretending it never happened.

Clearing her throat she spoke in a voice she didn't recognize as her own. "I'm a bit surprised to see you still here."

Although she had lifted her head her gaze darted from his bare chest to his strong jawline, across his soft lips, anywhere but his eyes. She wasn't proud to admit it but she felt a bit- just a smidgen bit nervous. For the life of her she couldn't understand why, this was Kiev. Yet that didn't stop the butterflies swarming around in circles in her stomach or cause her fingers to halt as she fidgeted with them on her lap.

"I thought you were a dine and dash kind of guy." She joked, feeling the uncomfortable silence settle in between them once more.

She wanted to speak again in the hopes of enticing Kiev to join in and make this morning less flustering as possible when the man himself shifted on the bed. Without a word he sat up causing the bed sheet to slid off of his hips and reveal the very obvious morning wood. It was near impossible for Harper not to stare at his guttural length and not have a wave of arousal consume her thoughts as images of last night played in her mind.

Gentle, cool fingers grazed her warm cheek and pulled her from her racy thoughts. Despite her tinted red cheeks Harper glanced up through her lashes determined to meet his stare as his extended hand caressed the side of her face.

"I'll show you why I stayed in a moment, but first go freshen up." He whispered and leant forward.

His lips hovered right above her own but she didn't attempt to close the distance even as her lips parted in anticipation for his kiss. For a moment he didn't move, his breath lingering with her own as those very skilled invisible hands cupped her face and tilted her head to the side. She waited, her breath catching in her throat as he grazed his lips oh so softly against her own. The touch was feather like yet it evoked a carnal reaction deep within her. Reaching her hands to pull him back to her Harper found her hands meeting nothing but air.

Puzzled she lifted her gaze and found herself sitting alone on the bed when she spotted movement by her bedroom door.

Pulling his slacks on from yesterday Kiev offered her a devilish grin as he zipped his pants. "I'll be in the kitchen waiting."

With those parting words he walked away leaving her sitting on crumpled sheets wondering and hoping he meant a bit more fun times. She had never had sëx in a kitchen before. The thought brought a bubbly feeling to her chest as a smile spread across her face. More excited than she would admit Harper rolled out of bed and as causally as she could started toward the bathroom.

After a quick shower and her regular morning hygiene routine Harper emerged from the bedroom dressed in a black tee dress with a sheer neck line that reached just below mid thigh. The dress was both flattering as it hugged her curvaceous figure in the right places and easily removal for any activities Kiev had in mind. She had debated forsaking any undergarments but decided it would make her appear desperate and rather easy, so she put on a lace bra and matched it with sheer panties.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses as she entered the kitchen but the image before her had her bracing herself against the door frame. Kiev stood over the toaster, his brows furrowed as he stared rather deeply into the twin slots. Pressing her lips together in the attempt to hold in the laughter bubbling within her Harper watched as he lifted his hands above the twin slots just as the miniature waffles popped out and caught them. With a triumphant smile Kiev placed them on the plate beside the toaster and turned to face her.

"Wow." She nodded her approval as she sauntered into the room all the while grinning.

Mistakening her amusement as teasing Kiev shrugged. "It's the best I could do considering you have no food that isn't prepackaged."

Standing directly in front of him she leaned forward and pecked his pouty lips. "It's perfect." She reassured him and took the plate and started towards the coffee maker.

Pouring herself a cup Harper proceeded to dump her four spoons of sugar into the dark liquid.

"How are you still alive?" He asked as he approached her with the maple syrup in hand.

Shrugging she squeezed a generous amount of syrup on top of the tiny waffles, only putting the bottle down when they were completely soaked. "Have you seen the whipped cream?" She asked, not recalling where the can had landed yesterday.

Twisting on her heels Harper paused when Kiev thrusted the can into her hands a playful gleam in his gaze. Pushing the sudden warmth spreading across her body Harper thanked him and sprayed a hill sized amount on the drowned waffles. With a satisfied nod she picked up the fork Kiev had placed beside her ready to dig in.

"So what did you want to show me?" She asked as she began cutting into the waffles.

As she placed the soaked morsel in her mouth Kiev placed a lavender colored spray bottle on the counter. Her brows furrowed as she lifted her gaze to an impassive Kiev.

"Is this your way of saying I smell funny?" She asked only half kidding.

The corners of his eyes crinkled even as he fought to keep the smile from his lips. "This is a special mixture that can conceal any supernatural scent. I figured you'll be needing it after our deal."

In the midst of chewing Harper grabbed the bottle, carefully examining the label free exterior before sniffing the exposed tip. It had a faint sweet floral scent that she would usually avoid but not unbearable. Besides it would help her remain safe from the Hunter's prying eyes.

"After every encounter we share just spray it on like perfume. It works to mask any scent but don't go swimming anytime soon."

"Spray on and don't get wet, gotcha." She repeated with a nod. Lowering her fork she leaned her hip against the counter and raised a single brow. "That's why you spent the night? To give me perfume?" She teased.

Her breath caught in her throat as his lips curved into a devilish grin, the sudden tightening in her chest caused the same hallow ache in her chest to tingle. Placing both hands on either side of the counter Kiev took a step forward, barricading her between the counter and his lean frame. Harper couldn't keep the smile that broke out on her face as those same invisible hands skimmed along the inside of her knees, stopping by the hem of her dress.

"And to get another taste of you." Kiev murmured as he lowered his face towards her. His luscious pink lips brushed hers ever so softly. As if afraid of her reaction to his touch he pulled back and took in her hooded, clouded gaze.

"Didn't you just feed yesterday?" Harper asked all the while her arms looped around his neck.

Stepping between her legs Kiev shook his head, his gaze never wavering from her lips as his hands gripped her behind. Startled by the tight grip of his fingers against her cheeks Harper gasped.

"This isn't for energy." He growled and before Harper could properly assess what he was doing she found her butt making contact with a solid surface as the sound of something shattering echoed in the apartment.

Sparing a quick glance Harper realized the shattering sound was from the plate and mug Kiev shoved off of the counter as he placed her in their place. Puzzled and a bit aroused Harper returned her gaze to Kiev.

"Are you going to fück me in the kitchen?" She asked in a husky tone she didn't recognize as her own.

His vibrant green eyes shimmered as he shook his head in response. Untangling her arms from his neck he placed an open mouth kiss on the inside of her wrist, his tongue swiping against the delicate skin. Speechless, Harper watched as Kiev lowered her hands back to her sides and met her glazed stare with one filled with pure lust. He offered her a lopsided grin that revealed the pearly sharp canines behind his full lips and slowly dipped down to his knees. Gripping the edge of the counter Harper could barely breathe as she felt his fingers roll her panties down the length of her legs.

"I'm going to suck you dry. Not for energy or to teach you a lesson." He said as he nudged her knees apart. Releasing a ragged breath Harper watched as his dark head inched closer to her most womanly area. She could barely contain herself as his soft hair grazed the inside of her smooth thighs, his hot breath dancing across her wet folds.

Placing a hand across the back of his head, she buried her fingers between the silky ebony strands and guided him closer to her core.

His tongue slipped out and traced her outer lips causing her to buckle against his mouth. "I'm going to eat you out because I love the taste of you on my tongue." He whispered against her wet folds.

Her throat felt dry and her tongue heavy in her mouth as he kissed her wet folds. Her core hummed in anticipation for more when he lifted his head, his gaze searching for approval from her. Running her tongue across her bottom lip she gave a nod and in a sultry tone she said. "Dig in."

Nothing could prepare her for the growl that tore from his lips, the sound vibrating inside her head as she tried to no prevail to decipher if the sound was human or not. Her hips jerked off the counter as he latched his mouth over her enterance, sucking on the slickness on her inner walls. His tongue thrusting forward to catch any stray drops.

The sudden intensity of his mouth on her womanhood took her completely by surprise, the way he skipped the gentle caress of a lover and dove into the real intimacy. Literally. Harper threw her head back, her eyes bugling as she desperately gripped handfuls of his silky hair. Every urgent stroke of his tongue sent her nerves in a frenzy, every merciless suck had her insides burning. It was agonizing, it was pleasurable. It was a fücking roller coaster, every second greater than the last. The closest thing to heaven with a sliver of hell.

Incoherent sounds tumbled from her lips as she clawed at the back of his head. If she was hurting him he didn't show it, instead Kiev continued to feast on her arousal. The juice dripping from between her thighs increasing as he spread her legs further apart, one hand pressing against her torso in a feeble attempt to keep her still. How could she remain still with him between her thighs?

  He wasn't gentle or timid with his mouth, suckling on her honey like a starved man. His tongue mercilessly thrusting inside her clenched inner walls, caressing every inch of her insides. Her lower belly tightened as a hot liquid pooled down to her core, the scorching sensation sparking across her entire body as she jerked against his open mouth. Throwing her head back in the midst of a semi moan, semi scream Harper felt the pressure between her hips intensifying. She didn't know how much more she could handle, her body withered and jerked forward seeking more of the pleasure pain.

   Kiev growled, his fingers digging into her cheeks as he slid her body closer to his seeking mouth. His lips lining up with her entrance as he latched on, determined to drag her into the dark abyss of a soul shattering climax. He scraped his upper teeth across her swollen nub before sucking it into his hot, slick mouth.

"Oh fück....." she cried, unsure how long she would be able to last as Kiev feasted on her like an all you can eat buffet.

   Biting her lip in an attempt to keep the screams of pleasure from slipping out Harper lifted her head to glance down at the dark head bobbling between her creamy thighs and found a whimper slip past her lips.

"I'm taking you off the fücking deep end." Kiev growled in response to her wordless plea for something she didn't quite know what.

  Dropping her head back Harper squeezed her eyes shut, her uneven breathing seeming to grow louder in her ears when she felt Kiev's hands grip her outer thighs and pulled them apart. Shocked by the sudden vulnerability she felt at being laid out like a meal she meant to close her legs when he placed a forearm on the inside of both thighs and licked her slick entrance. Harper didn't know if it was the way she was being spread out like a thanksgiving feast or the tongue that started to thrust in and out of her throbbing püssy or maybe a combination of both that had the avalanche that was her climax tumbling forward. Like a woman possessed she felt her hips lift off the counter forcing Kiev's lethal tongue to slip further into her tightening womanhood. Her vision blurred as a searing white heat flooded her entire body, engulfing her in a sweet fire that intensified every sensation tenfold.

  There were no words to describe the euphoria that drowned her body and mind. Flames licked at her body, the searing ,unbearably pleasurable as they pulled her under. It was fire, it was ice. It was a sweet agony like none she experienced before. Drowning in a lake of molten as her senses burn alive she could still feel Kiev encouraging her body forward with his mouth. Every thrust, every suckle only feeding the pressure in her lower region. Pushing her deeper into the belly of the beast and she was a willing victim.

   Her throat burned as she released a string of curses, her voice echoing in the room as she rocked her hips back and forth hoping to prolong the conflicting pleasure as Kiev happily slurped every drop of her juices. It felt like minutes, hours of panty melting ecstasy when the high ever so slowly began to lessen. The thrusting of her hips slowed as the mouth on her lower region pulled away slightly. Her fingers loosened their death grip on his hair as his lips brushed ever so tenderly over her tingling lips. With her body falling out of the numbing high she felt a warm tingle in her bones as she finally relaxed against the counter well fücked and completely spent.

"Oh, wow." She sighed, a smile playing on her lips as she ran her fingers through his soft hair. "That was... just wow."

Kiev kissed the inside of her thigh, his tongue swirling across the smooth skin. With a nodded of agreement he nibbled the soft skin. Sliding one hand to the nape of his neck she tilted his head upwards, pulling his attention away from her thighs.

Her breath hitched as his smoldering gaze crashed with hers, the sight of him causing her lips to part. Kiev's usual coal like eyes were burning an intense green, glossed over by undeniable lust. His full lips glistened with her arousal, stray drops streaming down his chin. His bronze complexion seemed to glow, a golden tint radiated off of his sun kissed skin. His upper lip curled exposing his perfectly shaped teeth as he slowly started to stand, his hands gliding across her exposed skin until they were face to face. He looked every much like a predator staring down his prey. She knew she should be afraid, in this state Kiev was even more unpredictable yet she wasn't afraid. Instead of fear she felt awestruck as she took in his appearance.

Taking a moment to compose her stunned expression Harper tightened the fingers that remained weaved in his hair. "This is how you look when you feed?" She asked, her eyes raking over his figure once more.

He nodded in response, those vibrant emerald orbs taking in her reaction to his carnal state. A look of concern twinkled in his gaze. Did he think she would be afraid of him while he was in this state? If anything she was turned on not afraid. Seeing Kiev stripped of his mind games and unknown intentions was a Kiev she enjoyed. With the Kiev standing between her legs she knew his agenda and that wasn't terrifying, it was exhilarating.

Amused by the turn of events since yesterday Harper smiled. "I'm going to enjoy fücking you."

Her words caused a smile to break out on his face, the unease in his eyes disappearing as she hesitantly inched forward and brushed her lips across his when a knock echoed in the apartment. Pulling away from Kiev Harper glanced at the clock on the wall while wondering if her first client was early when a voice sounded from behind the closed door.

"Hey Harp, it's me. I've got breakfast."

"Oh shít, oh shít..." She hissed under her breath.

With a disappointed sigh Kiev took a step back as she lowered herself back onto the ground. Her legs felt tingly and unsteady after the unearthly orgàsm but she had no time to recuperate.

Grabbing the lavender bottle Kiev had just given her she turned to Kiev with a panicked look. "You're sure this will work?"

"Your brother will never smell me." He retorted.

Ignoring the sarcastic tone Harper began spraying her body from the head to toe, paying close attention to her hair. Satisfied with the amount on her body she began spraying around the kitchen and the couch where they sat yesterday when she remembered her bedroom.

"Harper, it's Liam. Open up." Her twin shouted.

Muttering a string of curses she awkwardly wobbled back into the bedroom, the after effects of Kiev's mouth skills still in effect. Spritzing the mattress and the air around the bed Harper painfully made her way back into the kitchen relieved to see Kiev had remained in the same area as when she left.

"I know it's-"

"Save it." Kiev interrupted her excuse with a single hand. "We might be man and woman together but I still remember what we are in reality." He finished with a somber nod.

Although his words were true Harper didn't want to part like this, with Kiev looking so defeated. The emerald glimmering orbs were gone as those twin coals replaced them and in seconds the carefree Kiev was gone. Hidden safely beneath the cool exterior once more.

The thought didn't sit well with her. Dismissing the pounding on the front door Harper stood on her tippy toes and claimed his lips in a brief yet sizzling kiss. Pulling back she offered him a reassuring smile.

"Remember, no one else but me." She chided.

The faint grin that stretched across his face have her hope that whatever had formed between them wasn't all in her head. There was something between them.

"No one else but you." He repeated softly and with that disappeared into a puff of smoke.

Giving herself a moment to calm her out of control heart Harper blew out an uneven breath. I'm screwed, she thought. Spraying herself once more with the lavender scented mist she proceeded to spray the area where Kiev stood moments ago as her brother shouted for her to open the door.

With her heart hammering wildly in her chest and butterflies swarming her belly Harper ran towards the door and gripped the door knob. Pausing to give a silent prayer she pulled the door open and hoped Kiev was right about the spray. Her life literally depended on it.
