One last installment and I'll be back from my vacation. I'll check the comments and respond as I can. Meanwhile, let's see how Amaris handles being protected by a heavenly angel, shall we?
Enjoy!!!
The Watcher's Guild: Sweet Nephilim
~~~~~***~~~~~
“Eran?”
Shaking his
head, he leaned back and smiled at her.
“You must not fear. I have been a
Watcher for millennia, and I have not lost a Nephilim yet. I will protect you. And once you understand all you can be, you
can protect yourself, and Hell will have no hold on you.”
Her eyes—he
now saw they were a beautiful sapphire blue—searched his face. “Are you sure?”
Cupping her
cheek in his hand, he nodded. “This I
swear to you. I will not allow Asmodeous
or anything else to hurt you. I am your
Watcher...your protector and teacher.”
He gritted his teeth as his body suddenly reacted to her nearness. It was his own fault, he knew he shouldn’t
have gotten this close, but her tears had done him in. How would he teach her when all he wanted to
do was make love to her?
“Eran? What’s wrong?
You’ve gotten so stiff.”
He almost
laughed. She was certainly right about
that. A specific part of his anatomy was
as stiff as a pike and getting harder.
“It is nothing, little angel. I
was...just thinking about all the wonders I have to show you.” Eran pushed out of his mind the thought he’d
like to start by teaching her to touch him intimately. Shaking himself, he sent a prayer winging to
heaven for forgiveness and mercy. And
strength. “I just realized I don’t even
know your name.”
She smiled
and relaxed. “It’s Amaris. Amaris Dover.”
“Then Amaris
Dover, I welcome you to the ranks of the Nephilim and the Heavenly Host. Jehovah will be very pleased.”
Her eyes
filled her face. “I’m gonna meet God?”
Eran did
laugh this time. “Eventually, little
angel. But I must teach you to fly
before you can do that.”
Amaris’
eyes went even wider. “Fly?” she
squeaked in a pretty good imitation of the mouse on his shoulder. “I can fly?”
His fingers
traced between her shoulder blades. “Remember
the burning you felt here? Those were
your wings making themselves known. When
you are ready, I will show you how to bring them out. Then you will learn to fly.”
She
shivered at his touch, but her hands moved over his strong back. “Can...can I see yours again?”
It only
took a thought. His silver-white wings
unfurled to stretch out behind him. Amaris
gasped aloud. “Oh!”
He
chuckled. “It is easy, once you get the
hang of it.”
Reaching
out, she smoothed a finger over the soft feathers. Now it was he who shuddered under her
touch. “You are so beautiful. Are all angels as gorgeous as you?”
To her
surprise, his cheeks went red.
“Uhhh...I...”
She
grinned. “You’re embarrassed. Wow!
Don’t you know how handsome you are?”
“Vanity is
a sin.”
Amaris gave
a snort. “So is false modesty.” When his eyes narrowed, she wrinkled her nose
at him. “Don’t get your wings in a
flurry. You’re cute. Deal with it.”
“Then,
thank you...I think.”
Giggling,
she touched her index finger to his sensuous lips. “If you were a real man and had come in to
eat at the diner where I work, I wouldn’t have been able to help myself. I’d have flirted with you in a hearbeat.”
Eran’s eyes
flared almost gold. He grabbed her
finger and jerked her against him. “I
may not be a true man, but I’m finding with you, I have all the emotions and
desires of one. Be careful, little
angel.”
Warmth shot
through Amaris. She realized, suddenly,
her teasing was masking a much stronger emotion, one she’d felt from the
beginning, even in the middle of the battle for her soul. Angel or man, it didn’t matter. She was seriously attracted to him. And that made her more daring than
normal. Cocking her head, she batted her
eyelashes outrageously.
“So, then I
guess a thank you kiss is out, then?’
He
didn’t answer. Instead his gaze went
even hotter, and without another word, his mouth came crushing down on hers.

Aha!!! That's what I'm talking about. Instant attraction is alive and well. But can it turn into more? Stay tuned to find out!
See ya next Sunday!

Awesome! I was wondering if the attraction was mutual and when it would be acted upon. Can't wait for your responses CJ!
