Toxic by K.B. Torres (portable ebook reader .TXT) 📕

Lucifer whispered in my mind.
"I-I can't." I said, defeated.
Romeo grinned.
"Yes!" He sighed.
"Ah, hell!" I exclaimed.
"What? What do you have to do?" Emmanuel asked.
"Nothing. I-I'll tell you later." I said, barely whispering.
"Milady, I have the limo ready for you and your guests." A boy said, holding out a set of keys.
Felix.
I tensed, along with Emmanuel.
"Yes, thank you." I said nonchalantly, grabbing the keys.
"May I drive you?" Felix asked.
"Yes. You can do that right?" I asked, sounding like a snob.
"Of course milady." Felix said, hurrying over to open the back door.
"You're that rich?" Penelope asked.
"Yep." I answered, stepping in the car. my shoulder brushing Felix's.
He shivered.
"Whoa!" Brooklyn exclaimed.
"Hot and rich. You did good Emmanuel." Romeo said, being the last one to step in.
Felix slammed the door on Romeo's hand.
Romeo cried out in pain.
I rushed to him, opening the door`and caressing his hand against my chest.
His fingers were bruised and bleeding.
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that. Are you okay?" I apologized.
"Watch out Anastasia, he'll go for second base if you hold his hand there." Juliet warned.
I heard laughter behind me.
"Don't listen to them. They hate me." Romeo said, before he kissed me on the lips.
My gasp was muffled by his lips as he pulled me against him.
"What the fuck Romeo?!" Emmanuel growled, pulling me away from Romeo.
Anger boiled inside me. Am I just some sort of sex toy to boys?!
I struggled away from Emmanuel's grip and slapped Romeo across the face. His face looked as if a tiger had attacked him. There were claw marks where I had slapped him, blood dripping from his face.
"Bitch." He gasped, rubbing his clawed cheek.
Everyone beside me froze, their silence looming around me.
The door to the limo flew open, and a hand grabbed me.
Felix pulled me out. He pulled me against him, his arms around my waist
"Are you okay?" Felix asked against my hair.
"Let go of me so I can beat the crap outta Romeo." I said, struggling against his grip.
"But are you okay?" Felix asked.
"Yes, know let me the hell go. Are you asstarded? Or are you going to fucking gawk at me like i'm somedamnthing in a fucking petri dish?" I snapped.
Felix flinched.
"Anastasia! I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that." Romeo said, jumping out of the car.
His face had already healed, but there was a look of pain in his chocolate brown eyes. It was amazing how much he looked like Azrael.
Instinctively, I growled.
Felix let go of me.
"Anastasia, get back in here." Gideon called from the limo.
"Romeo, have fun walking to the restaurant." I said, geting in the limo and locking Romeo out. He banged ont the door.
"Hey, let me in!" He called.
"Let him in," Victoria said.
She opened the door, and Romeo tumbled onto me. His hands were on my chest.
"Sorry." Romeo said, getting up.
"Just stay away from me." I growled, getting up and sitting on Emmanuel's lap. His hands wrapped around my torso. I sighed, leaning back into him.
"Romeo, I'm going to kill you while you sleep. Don't ever do that to my girlfriend again." Emmanuel growled.
"She can talk on her own." Felix said, hopping in the back of the limo.
"Who cares what you think? Why don't you just scamper up to the driver seat and get us where we want to go!" Brooklyn snapped.
"I can't put up with this anymore." Felix muttered, coming up and grabbing my wrist. I felt the vibration of Emmanuel growling.
"Come on, Can't I have one day were someone isn't trying to steal me?!" I snapped, prying my way out of Emmanuel's arms and ducking out of Felix's grasp. "Can't you go molest some other girl?"
I hopped out of the limo, realizing that we were already at Chili's.
"Look who returns." A voice snickered.
Damien walked up, four other boys with him. They were all blonde, but one had green eyes, one blue, one gray, and one brown. the green eyed one raised his eyebrows at me.
"Fuck off Damien." I growled.
"My brother find you? You'd think he'd move on, but I guess not." Damien smirked. "I guess I might as well put you to use. I'll meet you in my bedroom, in about... 3 minutes."
I flipped him off.
"You're still attractive when you do that." Damien teased.
"Can't you stop molesting me for one minute? I've had a hard...How long has it been...Life. I'm hungry and I've got four other boys that were molesting me in that limo. I don't need to add you and your little gang to the list." I snapped.
They all raised their eyebrows.
"Emmanuel and Jules invited a few...friends to hang out. add your brother, Luke, and Emmanuel, and you have four, see?" I said, talking to Damien as if he was stupid.
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"Fine, I won't tease you. Come with me, I can get you away from here. I promise, no funny buisiness." Damien said, holding out a hand.
"You promise?" I asked, inching closer.
"I promise." He said, grabbing my wrist and whispering something to the blondes. They nodded as Damien pulled me into an alley and pressed me against a wall.
"Ssh." Damien whispered, pressing himself closer to me.
He was so close, that if I tried to take in a gulp of air, it would hurt.
"DAMMIT FELIX! NOW SHE'S RUN OFF BECAUSE SHE'S PISSED!" I heard Emmanuel yell.
"Sorry if I'm hurting you." Damien whispered, before lowering his voice. "It should be right next to her head..." he trailed off, pressing his hands beside my head, caging me in. I felt the wall slip back before Damien fell on top of me, pushing me backwards into a secret room. It was dim and it smelled a lot like Damien; cologne and lemons. I breathed in the smell, relaxing.
"What? Sorry." Damien asked, as the wall closed us in. He got up and held out his hand.
I grasped it and he helped me up.
He had his cocky grin on when he said, "I've never had a girl in here before. This is my room. My real room."
I looked around me, I could only make out an unmade bed, a dresser, nightstand, desk, closet, lamp, and then I realized that there were clothes on the ground.
"Really, can't you at least clean up after yourself?" I broke off as Damien sighed.
He swooped down and picked up all of the clothes on the ground and tossed it into a hamper.
"Can you turn on the light? I'd like it if I didn't feel as if you were going to try to make out with me at any second." I complained.
The light flicked on to reveal Damien in front of me.
"Are you always so bossy? Where is the fun in that?" He asked, smirking.
"Are you suggesting I'm not fun? I can find people who beg to differ." I said, grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer to me.
His lips found mine and I gasped, backing up against a wall.
"Maybe I was wrong." Damien muttered.
His hand went under my dress, but I pushed him away before he could maul my legs.
"Sorry." Damien apologized.
"DAMIEN! ARE YOU IN THERE?" Felix's voice came from the door.
"Go away, Felix." Damien growled, kissing me again.
"I'LL COME IN IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, DAMIEN." I heard Emmanuel growl.
"I SAID GO THE HELL AWAY!" Damien yelled, detaching from me.
"God, can't they just leave me alone?" I whispered.
"It could be worse," Damien said, a little too loud.
"Who's in there with you, Damien?" Felix asked, before there was a click and Felix said, "Aha! I found the handle and lock!"
"Shit," I muttered.
"Go hide in the closet, it's empty." Damien whispered.
I ran to the closet and hid inside it, closing the door.
It was dark, and as promised, I was the only thing in the closet.
"Told you I was going to find the door one day," I heard Felix say.
"Did you really have to show that leech how to get into my room. He could kill me while I sleep now. Dammit," Damien said.
"I sware, I saw her go with him in here," Said a voice I had never heard before.
"Really, Jax? I thought I could trust you to keep your mouth shut." Damien growled.
Jax laughed, "I bet he hid her in here when you pounded on the door. It smells like perfume in here now."
I silently felt around, hoping for a secret door, or something that would hide me better.
I felt a little secret room, that went far enough back to hide me from view. I scootched in, finding a box to hide the passage way.
"Damn, maybe he pissed her off and she left, unless he shoved her in the closet." Jax said.
I heard a door open, and light strained to get past the box. In panic, I willed myself to look like an owl. This time it worked.
"What about behind that box?" Emmanuel said, and the box moved back.
"Fine, do you want to know where she is? I hid her in that room. We were making out before you rudely interrupted. Go ahead, take her." Damien growled.
"Anastasia? Kissing you? I doubt it. She hates you, remember?" Felix laughed.
"That room goes pretty far back, let me look." Emmanuel said, and I saw him come in.
I panicked and I lost my owl form.
Emmanuel came face to face with me.
"Staz, what are you doing here?" Emmanuel whispered.
"Looks like I can trust Damien." I muttered.
"Come on." Emmanuel whispered, grabbing my hand.
"No." I whispered.
"Come. On." Emmanuel gritted his teeth.
"No, I know why you want me to come. If you're so focused on showing off that you were successful in life to your family, then why bother with my safety?" I growled.
"Staz." Emmanuel sighed.
"I'm going home." I said, and I found myself in heaven.
Or, to be exact, I found myself in front of Azrael. God, why did he have to be so hot?
"Anastasia? What are you doing here?" Azrael asked.
"I need a break." I said, sitting on the bed in the room.
"No, I mean what are you doing in my room?" Azrael asked.
"What do you want to do?" I asked, trying to sound seductive.
I really needed a distraction.
"What about your asshole of a boyfriend, Emmanuel? Won't he kill you if he found out?" Azrael asked, sitting next to me.
"I got into a fight with him. Don't worry, I'll only feel better if I piss him off." I said, turning and pulling Azrael on top of me.
His lips found mine and we were kissing. I felt peace with Azrael.
"Never thought you'd favor me enough to give me...the only thing I wanted, God." Azrael muttered.
"distract me even more, Azrael. Whatever you want, take it." I said, deepening the kiss.
The next thing I knew, Azrael and I were naked, tangled in a mess of sheets.
"You sure?" Azrael asked, kissing me.
"Will I get pregnant?" The words came out without me wanting them to.
"No, it's not possible on heaven." Azrael said.
