Broken Together

**Aileen POV**

Devon's room was very plain, even more so than the hospital room. He didn't have a window and there were no decorations at all. His bed was old looking and torn up. He owned a single thin throw blanket and one destroyed pillow. There was a small desk off to the corner piled high with papers. The room was hot and stuffy. It had a strange sharp smell too. Devon didn't seem to notice it. I pinched my nose against the stink.
I was reminded again that Devon was not Shiuku's second in command; at least not in how he was treated here. My true love was tormented and abused like a slave. The demons here even referred to him as Shiuku's lapdog.
A rough hand pulled my fingers away from my nose. I was about to complain when a soothing gust of crisp mountain air invaded my senses. Melting back into his embrace, I let his scent calm me.
"Using your wind to intensify your smell? Isn't that cheating?" I ruffled his buzzed locks. He grinned at how appeasing I found his natural aroma. Especially compared to the musky rotting odor of his room. He could really have used a window.
Flopping me on the bed, he climbed on top of me. "Figure it out huh? A bit too late, you already left yourself wide open baby."
Regaining my composure I repeated my question about the baby and how he really felt. I needed to know before he tried any silly business.
Well his answer was bitter sweet. He explained to me that he wasn't happy about the child belonging to Shiuku and complained that it should be his. He admitted to being torn up about it when Shiuku first informed him of the 'wonderful news'. A dark idea even climbed into his brain about if the baby didn't make it. Each sentence left another hole in my heart, pending his last words.
"The more hours that flew by, the more I got comfortable with the idea of your baby. On my way to retrieve your Father, I had time to really dig deep inside. I figured out I want to protect the baby from the dark path and goals Shiuku has planned."
"You really want to be with me, carrying our enemy's seed?" I hesitated, not really wanting to hear the response.
Devon's nose glided behind my ear, sending me soft kisses in its wake. "I'll be an amazing step dad if you let me."
"You are too much. How did I get so lucky?"
He assaulted me with nibbles to the soft skin of my neck. Wetness pooled between my thighs again. Devon's sinful mouth teased the hollow of my throat causing me to gasp. On my sensitive skin, I felt his lips curl up into an evil smirk.
"So what did you want to talk about again?" His tongue trailed a path from my neck back up to my ear. He grazed the lobe of my ear with his teeth. "Go on, ask away my light."
Easy for him to say! How was I supposed to remember the questions with his warm body pinning me down? His knees spread my legs apart and I felt his bulge against my most intimate spot. I moaned into Devon's hair.
A nervous hand made its way under my dress, up to cup my breast. His fingers found my straining peak and pressed down. I stretched my arm out to rub his manhood, but he stopped me. One hand clasped both my wrists, securing them above my head.
He wore a pained expression, lost in some horrible memory. Maybe he was taken back to when he was a reward. I had no insight into what Sekai had done to him. Neither one of them had spoken about it. I didn't want to know. It would ruin my friendship with her.
Anyway, I was fine with him taking charge. With his past, he needed to feel in control; with mine, I wanted to be protected and safe. Being this close to his aura, I felt the tingles and zaps through every cell. It allowed me to discern just how wrong I was with Shiuku. The demon lord only ever had a fraction of this effect on me.
"I love you Dev."
"You are my heart and soul. My light." He murmured against my throat. "And finally, I'll have you."
I loved his husky voice, it sent fresh waves of arousal dripping out of my pussy.
With excruciatingly slow movements, he yanked down the top of my dress, revealing my large chest to those lustful piecing blue orbs. Devon's tongue darted out, moistening his lips. His hands left my wrists, moving lower, to hike up the rest of my dress. Thrusting his hips at me, I felt his hardness grinding against my drenched panties. "Oh! Devon!"
"So damn cute." His thumb rolled around my taunt nipple as he captured the other between his teeth. He sucked and flicked the hardened bud until I was squirming under his weight. My love teased me well to the point of begging. My chest was always sensitive and he was torturing me there.
Leaving my breasts, his hands started for the button of his pants, I heard an inner voice call out again. *Just like a dog in heat.* *She really should work in a brothel.*
What the hell?! I was with Devon, they should be silent. My body was aching with desire for him, that should take over everything!
A carrass to my face brought me back to reality. As always, he knew what was going on with me. The man could read me from the slightest shift in behavior; no matter how small. "Do you want me to make them go away? I can use my mind ability."
"No, I need to fight past this. I don't want them haunting me for the rest of my life. I just don't understand why they came back."
The answer hit me like one of those super long cars on the black tracks; trains! It hit me like a speeding train. Shiuku had used his aura to get me in bed. Somewhere in my subconscious that connection must have been made. Devon's aura couldn't calm me anymore! It was tainted with the echo of Shiuku's deeds.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No, continue. I'm still wet and you're still unbelievably hot."
Devon twisted my nipple, sending jolts of pleasure. I arched my hips at him, forgetting about those disgusting men. I wanted to move forward with Devon. I wasn't sure how much longer I had...
Impatient now, I unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down. I needed him inside me before another person's taunts filled my head.
Hastily, Devon jumped backwards, far from my reach.
"Dev, I wasn't thinking..."
On shaking legs, Devon marched himself back to the worn out bed. His whole figure was trembling. "This is just perfect huh? I can't stop thinking about being your God damn reward. It won't get out of my head. You're my true love and yet I can't make love to you."
"Like I'm any better. Honestly, I'm a little relieved that we aren't continuing. The only person I had sex with after those evil men, turned out to be maniupulating me... I don't think I'm ready yet either. "
A bitter sound derived from Devon's chest. "What a perfect couple huh."
"We'll have to work on this together. I know that I want you, the stickiness on my inner thighs is proof of that. And I can see your dick peeking out of your boxers; so the attraction is there." I sat up resting my head on his shoulder. "Do you have a copying mechanism for everything Shiuku has done to you?"
He nodded, "I used to. Being outside feeling the wind whirl around relaxed me. Then I would pull out this little music box and listen to it's song. It was a gift from my Grandmother back when I was five. Pretty stupid."
I asked him about what happened to the music box. The bed squeaked annoyingly as Devon finished what I started. When his pants were completely off, Devon cocooned my frame in his larger one. He held me close to his racing heart.
"Sekai broke it during one of our earlier sessions. Called me gay and some other names before using my face to clean up a mess on her floor."
Probably an order from Shiuku. I couldn't see Sekai openly wanting to do something so cruel. From the way he was talking, Devon wasn't that old when it happened.
Another bolt of realization crashed through me. Devon had been so happy and carefree outside in the leaves. He had taken me to his safe haven!
Had I not been trapped in Devon's embrace, I would have ran over to his desk, in search of a notebook. Writing to my Father had aided me for years, because I borrowed my strength from his love. Maybe the opposite could work for Devon. If he let out all his frustrations at his shit parents; he could soar over his trauma.
"Hey, after we're done cuddling, I've got a theory I want to test. How about we go outside, lie down in the grass, and write some letters? I could always just go talk to my Father now, but I think I have an idea for you." I asked, nestling into his chest further.
He chuckled into my ear, "I don't think you want to visit your Father right this second love. My intuition says your Father and Sekai are in the middle of some hot and heavy sex. The two of them could barely keep their paws off each other in front of us."
I rubbed my face on his abs, forcing the images of them out of my head. I wasn't sure which was worse, the fake knight, or picturing Father doing the dirty deed with my friend. Luckily, being with Devon like this did cut off Sir Alaric and unwanted visualizations of my Father in bed. I intertwined our bare legs, letting his refreshing scent start to lull me to sleep.
Dream land started to invade me. Both of us clung to the other as we drifted off to sleep. Being blanketed by Devon's body was enough for now. We didn't need to be intimate right away to show how much we loved and cared for each other.
Our nap was blissful, wrapped up in each other's warmth; until a dark sound reverberated around the room. Both Devon and I shot up immediately, wiping the Sandman's leavings from our eyes.
"Oh little one and my old pet; you two are in serious trouble." Shiuku's eyes were brimming with blood lust again. But the deep red eyes weren't what caught my attention.
No, in Shiuku's hands were the three letters sent to me by Lena, Trevor, and Father. He found them! He knew about our messages! Shit.
