Gloom Chapter 150
“You hold back so much for the rest,” he whispered, with his mouth very close to my ear, so close that his warm breath made me suppress another shudder. So as not to hurt them, so that they don't feel bad, to protect them... Do you ever do something that you really like? -I said nothing. I knew what he was doing: he wanted to distract me. I wanted him to forget about it. How little he still knew me. But then, throwing me off balance and accomplishing his goal, I felt his fingers play on my hips. My hand stopped his, as I looked at him suspiciously. My expression made him smile smugly. Have you ever touched yourself, Amy?I swallowed sharply and looked at him with wide eyes. I knew he wanted to divert my attention from the previous matter, but I didn't expect him to blurt out something like that. He played dirty.—And what do you care? —I mumbled, feeling the blood rise to my face.-That is a no.—You're changing the subject.He smiled more.—Aren't you curious to know what it feels li

And just at that moment, he ended the contact.At this point, the pounding in my chest was so violent that I thought my heart would burst out of my ribcage. I didn't know what happened, if I did something wrong or what, but the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was his deeply frowned brow, coupled with an austere and severe look that had taken over his features. Astonishment overcame me, as I noticed the speed with which his chest swelled and returned to normal. Same as mine. I swallowed air as the hand that was on my cheek moved away. Still looking angry, he gently slid the tips of his long fingers along the contour of my jaw, then over my lips, and it was only then that I noticed their burning and swelling. A suspicious half smile appeared on his face the moment I unconsciously moved my face slightly following the caress of his hand.Azazziel let out a light hoarse laugh that, in the midst of that silence, sounded perverse.—Oh, did you want to continue? —She inquired with a c

I wasn't sure what I was expecting, or even if I was really expecting anything, but a strange feeling of emptiness overwhelmed me when, very early in the morning, my cell phone alarm woke me up and I found myself alone in the room.I didn't really know why I felt that way. I couldn't decipher my own thoughts, nor understand why I appreciated a certain nostalgia in me, if deep down it was a true relief to have woken up without him. I tried not to think too much about it. I tried, as much as I could, not to focus on that dark, unknown new feeling, because, to be honest, it terrified me.I spent a lot of my time at work absorbed in what my mother used to say, “up in the clouds,” and that wasn't a good thing. I couldn't think clearly, I forgot the orders and to whom I had to deliver them, and the day ended up seeming longer and more tedious than it really was.At the end of the day, I was shuffling along the sidewalk toward the bus stop, but I stopped my steps the moment Akhliss's cold, f

He shook the puppy a little. He raised his head toward her and lowered her pointed ears. I made an unfriendly face."It's thirty centimeters long," I snapped. I couldn't even scare my cat.—They have to give themselves away when they are puppies, otherwise they would never accept another owner. —He grimaced and let out a short sigh, with a certain tedium, as if he were already beginning to get tired of insisting—. "Come on, Amy, give it a chance," she asked in a more serious tone. If you can't get used to it, then I'll take it.I sighed in return and rolled my eyes at the sky, giving up.I glared at her as I reluctantly reached out to grab the animal. He was somewhat heavy for his size, his black fur-covered skin burned as if he had a fever, and I wondered if that was normal. I examined him carefully, as if I was afraid he was going to bite me at any moment, but he just lowered his head, looking a little sad. He knew very little about dog breeds, but because of the tiny pointed ears a

"And you won't," I said, putting it in my bag.—Do you like erotic literature? —Khaius asked, looking at me with some amazement, while a new smile full of humor spread across his face.-No! —I bellowed, more than embarrassed—. D-Diana lent it to me a few months ago and I forgot to give it back to her. She said it was great and I had to read it, but I didn't like it at all—I spoke in a rush, as if I really had to explain why she had it on my shelf.—Do you have problems with returning books to people? —Akhliss questioned, raising her eyebrows, staring at me and shaking her head in what was supposed to be an accusatory expression, but she was clearly amused by the situation.I grimaced and took a deep breath to relax. It wasn't that big of a deal, I was just embarrassed that they thought I liked it.Khaius's smile did not last long, since after a few seconds he became serious and decided to return to the question from before.—Why does your friend have these kinds of books? —He asked me

"Even if it's already marked," Akhliss assured.I clenched my fists. I would have felt the blood drain from me if it hadn't been for the puppy on my legs providing me with plenty of warmth.I took the book from Akhliss.—I have read this several times... —I searched through the pages until I found the part where a list of demons and their description appeared, but then I hesitated when I saw the seriousness with which both of them were looking at me—. I think... What if I have something like a curse? —I proposed.The good thing was that they didn't laugh, as I had thought. The two maintained a very stern countenance."But..." Khaius murmured, his brow sinking even further, "why?" I mean, who would have anything against you?"I-I don't know," I admitted. But… if someone is responsible for this, even if we don't know who, he could help, right? —I turned the book towards them and pointed with a finger to a line on the page that I left open, right where the name of a demon appeared whose

-Good. —She smiled.Hesitantly, I put my hand closer to the puppy's snout. At that moment he woke up and sniffed her, then licked her slowly, almost lazily. His small, soft, wet tongue was so hot that it seemed more painful than the wound itself. I looked at him in confusion as he went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.—Was this your idea? I asked the demon next to me."It's a very protective animal of its owner," he replied naturally, shrugging his shoulders. He will protect you even if he has to die trying. I narrowed my eyes at him, almost exaggeratedly, and then he laughed lightly. Yeah, it was partly my idea too.I glared at him for several seconds... but, in the end, I still ended up smiling.It was a dilemma getting the dog home. My father was quite upset, because the main reason we never had a dog was because he didn't like animals; He tolerated Nico only because he knew my mom adored him. She, on the other hand, was excited that "my friends" gave it to me. Finally, Al

I swallowed hard as I studied his stern face, his narrowed brown eyes, and his purple lips pursed in anger. How could such a small person look threatening?—W-good! I hesitated, trying to sound annoyed, although I didn't even come close. But next time we go out, I want you to dress all in pink, like a damn strawberry! Done?-Made! —She replied with determination.It was Anthony who gave me the direction of the party. He confirmed what Diana said, as that same morning she had approached me suggesting I go. Although he didn't say it out loud, I knew right away that he expected me to bring the boyfriend he was convinced he had.Instead, she was going to disappoint him by going with Nat.From the street in front we could hear the loud music and see the crowd of strangers, the vast majority of them college students and other friends of Anthony, I assumed. We advanced until we crossed the large garden, where there were some groups of boys smoking and chatting relaxedly. The house itself see
