Kaia opened her eyes, realising she had dozed off in the heat of the afternoon sun she rolled onto her front and watched as Dita left the house. How long had she been asleep? Watching the demoness as she strolled seductively down the drive, Kaia contemplated the peculiar relationship Cassiel had with her. From the waist up Dita could pass for a human if she covered her horns and didn't draw attention to the black voids of her eyes. But her muscular thighs and curved back knees added to the two large golden hooves were anything but human. From beneath a dress that was so tight Kaia was amazed her legs could even move protruded a long thin tail with a razor-sharp gold tip.

There was no denying the demoness had a dangerous feeling, exotic beauty. But the vampire hybrid was not fated to her and was not in love with her, so it perplexed Kaia why they seemed to liaise so regularly. Dita's head suddenly turned and she made eye contact with the doe, changing direction the demoness made straight for her at the same leisurely pace.

"Is there something I can do for?" Unsure what the demoness could want Kaia stood up and watched the deadly demons approach.

"No."

"He'll never be yours you know?" Dita came to a halt a few feet away from the confused hind.

"Who?"
"Cassiel. He's mine."

"I don't want Cassiel." Frowning Kaia tilted her head to one side.

"Of course you do. Why wouldn't you fall for his charms like every other woman?"

"I like Cassiel, but I do not want him. I do not love him as you do." Dita narrowed her black eyes and turned her lip up revealing a row of sharp pointed teeth.

"I do not love him."

"You do." Said Kaia simply. As quick as lightning Dita's hand reached out and caught Kaia's arm around her wrist. Startled, the doe leapt back.

"Oh. You really aren't after my Cas. You want a bow." 

"How do you know that?" Asked Kaia Rubbing her wrist as she yanked it back.

"I'm a demon. It's our business to know what people want. How else can we arrange trades?" Kaia's ears twitched as it was her turn to narrow her eyes.

"Trade?"

"Yes. Trade. You want your bow, I could help you get it." Dita gave her a friendly smile that made a cold tingle journey down Kaia's body. It was the most terrifying smile she had ever seen.

"And what would I have to give you in exchange for my bow?"

"Oh not much. Nothing really."

"What?" She may have been trapped in a hole for years but even she knew you didn't do deals with demons lightly.

"Just a trifle. And your payment wouldn't even be due until it expires anyway." Dita stepped closer making Kaia back away.

"She's not making a deal with you Dita!" The demoness hissed and spinning on the spot turned to face Gabriel.

"That's not your decision, vampire." Snarled the now angry demon. Her tail whipped behind her cracking in the air as she bared her fangs at an unphased Gabriel.

"Kaia. Do you want to give her your soul on your death to pass on to her father? In exchange for a bow, I will help you retrieve it if it's at all possible."

"How does she know you would? I really would. I could get it for her tonight." Gabriel dropped to one knee and placing his right hand in a fist against his left shoulder locked eyes with Kaia.

"I swear an oath before Zeus and all the Gods that I will do all in my power to reclaim your bow for you Kaia, last of the golden hinds." Dita snarled and stamped a hoof making a divot in the grass.

"Why swear yourself to her vampire? You know I can see into the hearts of man and beast and see their true desire. You're not hers, that bow is. Why not let me retrieve it for her and you go back to your important papers." Rising from his knee Gabriel moved to stand beside Kaia and placed a protective arm around her shoulders.

"Because I am sworn to protect all creatures from evil Dita. And you are pure, selfish, evil. In Kaia's case, I am not just sworn to, I am fated to. I may not be her truest desire but she is mine. So leave. Now, Dita." The demon hissed again and in a furious rage stormed across the lawn towards a line of three trees beside the main gate. The pair watched in silence as the demoness walked between the right and middle tree and vanished.

"Where did she go?" Asked the doe as Gabriel released her shoulders and stepped back to look at her.

"Those three trees make up two portals, one goes to Zeus Square beneath London and the other to the alley beside Annies."

"I did not know you had portals here. Where are these places?"

"Zeus Square is beneath the city of London, it's a human city and hidden from them. It's full of shops and taverns as well as housing and anything you might expect in a town, there's even a park. Annies, well you only go to Annie's Bar for information. You definitely don't go for the food or drink."

"Information. I need information about my bow. I must go to this Annies." She went to make her way across the lawn to the trees but Gabriel caught her arm and pulled her towards him. Their bodies were so close she could feel his heat through his shirt.

Her cinnamon scent was so overpowering he nearly grabbed her and took her on the picnic blanket beside them.

"I meant that oath, Kaia. I swore it before the Gods. That kind of oath can't be broken. I will get your bow back for you if it can be done." She stared into his eyes watching his pupil expand and dilate as his skin paled and warmed. She knew he was trying to control his inner demon but this time she wasn't scared of him.

"Oh." Was all the deer could find to say. He was so close and smelt so good. Memories of kissing him filled her brain as her gaze flicked from his eyes to those lips she'd been kissing earlier in the day.

"You kissed me." He said, his voice thick with emotion and need.

"Yes." He bent his head, resting his forehead against hers as he inhaled deeply.

"I want you, Kaia. I want you more than anything in my life." The emotion in his voice was almost enough to overwhelm her. His arms wrapped around her pulling her closer so their bodies touched. Looking back up at his eyes she saw his eyes were becoming as black as Ditas. Going on tiptoes she placed a small gentle kiss on his lips. He growled deep in his throat in response before his lips claimed hers in a hard passionate kiss as his arms lifted her and placed her gently down on the blanket.

Her arms snaked up around his neck and her hands into his long glossy hair. As his body nestled between her thighs she found her legs falling open of their own accord, that strangely pleasant burning between her thighs returning with a vengeance.

"Kaia, my beautiful Kaia. I need you." She looked up into his black eyes and whimpered as his hard cock rubbed at her through his trousers.

"I... I want you." She said not truly knowing in what way but knowing she did. Reaching between them he unbuttoned his fly. She gasped and moaned at the strange but amazing feeling as his fingers stroked her folds then slipped inside her.

"Oh, goddess." She gasped as he stroked and teased her sex with his fingers. Her eyes widened as he pulled his fingers out, raising them to his lips sucked her juices from them.

Slowly and as gently as he could he pressed his cock against her entrance and began to enter her. She whimpered and fidgeted under him trying to take his size inside her tight folds. Marie had told her it might hurt her the first time, but it didn't hurt really, it just felt strange. As he pulled back and began to thrust forward again she gasped in pleasure.

"Kaia." He breathed into her ear as his body completely covered hers and he began to slowly pump in and out of her. Digging her fingers into his back she groaned in pleasure as his pace quickened and they began to move together, their bodies fitting together like they were made for each other.

"Gabriel." She cried as a new strange feeling began to radiate from her groin, then exploded like fireworks as she screamed in ecstasy. Moments later Gabriel let out a shout as his own body began to tremble. After a moment he went still and buried his face in her shoulder breathing heavily. She wrapped her arms around him and just held him while his cock softened inside her.

After a time he lifted his head and looked at her with once more blue eyes.

"Sorry. I had to calm my demon." He studied her face as if waiting for her to react.

"Was that making love?" He chuckled at her innocent question.

"Yes, my beauty. That was making love. Though to my shame, it didn't last long. I just couldn't contain myself with you."

"Last long?" She frowned at the words and whimpered as he reached between them and tucked his cock away and pulled down her skirt before pulling her with him so she was nestled against him, her head on his chest while he laid out on his back staring up at the sky.

"It's not important. Did I hurt you?"

"No. It was strange at first but it felt so good. Like a fire burning inside." He chuckled again. It was such an unusual thing for him to do but with her, it felt easy and natural.

"You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be?" He kissed her forehead marvelling that the fates would give him someone so precious as his own. "I'm sorry for how I've behaved since we met." She shrugged.

"Too much of my life had been wasted. It is of no matter. You are here now and I like being like this with you." He gave her a little squeeze.

"Is there anything else you want other than your bow, my beauty? Name anything you want and I will get it for you." She looked up at him.

"I want you." Catching her lips he kissed her.

"You have me."

"I'd like clothes too."

"Clothes?" She nodded against his chest.

"Yes. Marie was very nice to lend me her dresses. But they are not mine and if I cannot be naked I want clothes. Cassiel says I need money and cannot just take them from the humans as I did in Ceryneia. " Again Gabriel chuckled.

"No, that is generally discouraged. I will buy you clothes."

"You have money?" This time he full-blown laughed.

"Yes, beautiful. I have plenty of money." He pointed to the huge Manor house they called home. "We couldn't live here if we didn't have money."

"Can you lend me some to buy clothes that fit?" Again he chuckled.

"I will take you shopping myself and they will all be gifts." The idea of taking his beautiful hind shopping and buying her everything she wanted filled him with an odd sense of joy. He wanted to spoil her and shower her with all the riches in the world.
