Bound Angel Bound Demon

  He bathed, washed his hair, and had a shave. He felt much better. He could smell breakfast cooking downstairs, he dried himself quickly, put on some cotton trousers and a T-shirt, and went down to Alex in the kitchen.

  She was putting everything out on the table. Alex looked up and smiled when she saw Gary. “You look a lot better, here eat, I don’t suppose you’ve eaten properly for a while either, and you need to watch your heart and health,” said Alex as she poured a coffee for Gary.

  “My health! Don’t you think that’s a bit much coming from you, I mean you’re not of the living,” said Gary, tucking in.

  Alex laughed, “Good to know your sense of humour hasn’t gone, but seriously Gary you need to look after yourself, you could die and not come back like me, and I would be left on my own.”

  Gary looked at her, he could see she was genuinely worried, “I’m sorry Alex, I didn’t mean it. I will look after myself in future.”

  “Thank you,” said Alex as she sat down at the table to join him.

  “Aren’t you eating?” asked Gary.

  “I don’t need food now, or sleep!” answered Alex.

  Gary looked at her, feeling guilty about eating in front of her. “So you just lay there last night watching me?” he asked.

  Alex nodded, “It’s funny, I don’t miss food, or sleep, it’s hard to say why.”

  “Alex, I’m so glad you’re still here, I want and I need you to stay.”

  “I told you, I will do whatever you want, you’re still my master,” she laughed.

  “I see all your tastes haven’t changed then.”

  “No, but I’m not sure if I can meet all my and your needs, that’s something I haven’t got round to talking about with Marie yet,” said Alex.

  “Oh right, but if we can’t, well, I’m just happy to have you here with me, it’s not the end of the world.”

  Just then there was a knock at the door, Gary looked at Alex.

  ”It’s ok, it’s Marie, but I can’t answer the door and risk someone seeing me, can I?” said Alex.

  “How did you know it was Marie?” asked Gary getting up to answer the door.

  “I don’t know, I have this sixth sense I suppose, go on, don’t keep her waiting.”

  Gary opened the door and Marie was standing there with a big smile on her face. “Morning Marie, come on in. Alex is in the kitchen,” said Gary.

  Marie skipped past Gary straight to the kitchen and sat down. Alex gave Marie a coffee and sat down beside her. Gary looked at them both as he came in, he was glad in a way for everything Marie had done, but he still needed to know more details.

  “Come on then, how did it go last night? Have you managed to talk things through? I can see by the look of you, Gary, that you’re starting to feel better, so that’s a good sign!” said Marie.

  “Well we talked a little, but mainly Gary slept, but that’s ok, he needed it,” said Alex.

  “Let me start by saying that I talked to Ray this morning and he said Tracey was well enough to leave the hospital. She has a fractured rib, so stills need rest. Ray has sent her to stay with her family until she’s well enough to return, if that’s what she wants to do, which according to Tracey she does,” said Marie.

  Gary looked at Alex, suddenly remembering that terrible night. Alex moved to Gary’s side and put her arm around him.

  “It’s ok Gary, it wasn’t your fault, it’s over and done with now, we can’t turn time back, we need to go forward,” said Alex.

  “He got me mixed up with Ray you know, I shouldn’t have left you alone, tied up like that, I’m so sorry,” Gary said with tears running down his face.

  “Stop, I’m here for you, ok not fully how I used to be, but I’m here,” said Alex.

  Marie put her cup on the table and looked at them both. “Gary, stop dwelling in the past, yes Alex is now a ghost spirit of her former self, but together you can carry on as normal, well to some extent anyway,” said Marie.

  “I don’t understand,” said Gary.

  ”Alex can only be seen by people who have a connection with her, that was why I wouldn’t let her come here while her parents were around, the stronger the connection, the stronger she is to that person, like with you,” explained Marie.

  “You can hold her, touch her, and I know you are both dying to know, excuse the pun, but yes if you want, you can have sex,” laughed Marie.

  Alex looked at Marie and grinned.

  “I love having you here Alex, I don’t think I’d have been able to carry on without you,” said Gary.

  “But . . .?” said Alex, she was scared he was going to send her away.

  “I’m frightened, what if you can’t stay like this for long, what if you’re taken away again?” he started to cry again.

  “Gary, Alex is here for as long as you need her, she is here because of your need, your love, she will only go when there comes a point when you no longer need her,” said Marie.

  Gary felt Alex hold him tighter, he held her face and pulled her near to him, “Alex I will never, ever, not need you, I will love you forever,” he said and kissed her.

  “Right then, that’s my cue to leave, look if either of you need me for anything just call or pop over, whichever’s easier. But Gary, please don’t cut yourself off from your friends, call Ray, he’s worried,” said Marie as she got up to go.

  “But won’t Ray see Alex?” asked Gary.

  “No, I told you the person has to have a very strong connection, he may see a shadow, but he will shake it off as soon as he sees it, thinking that it’s nothing but his mind playing tricks, don’t worry, now look after yourself and I want you both to come over to mine the weekend. I’m missing the company.”

  Marie hugged Alex and then kissed Gary on the cheek, and left.

  Gary held on to Alex for ages, not wanting to let the moment go.

  “You won’t lose me now,” said Alex softly.

  “This is it, this is our life from now on, you’re still here and we’ll have each other forever, I still can’t believe it, but I’m not going to question it anymore,” said Gary.

  “Well before we do anything else, I think we need to some catching up, I may be able to go without food and sleep, but there’s one thing I certainly need,” said Alex with a cheeky look. She leant forward and kissed Gary again, but this time with more passion.

  Gary responded, tugging at her clothes and then running his hand through her hair. Alex wrapped her legs around Gary and he lifted her up and carried her across the living room to the foot of the stairs.

  “Let’s take this one upstairs, we don’t want to risk being seen, people will think I’m totally mad,” Gary started to laugh.

  “Now that would be something: to watch you making love with thin air,” answered Alex.

  They were in the bedroom, clothes being pulled off, eager to get hold of each other, Gary wanted to feel her flesh, and then he would know this was real.

  Alex lay on the bed looking up at Gary and he began to kiss her inner thighs. Alex felt a tingling all over, he moved to her stomach and breasts, she was warm to the touch and he was enjoying tasting her. Then he was looking into her eyes, she was alive with her need for him, and he loved it. He entered her and began to slowly build up the ecstasy. She was wonderful, wrapped around his cock, it was like little vibrations were running through her into him, making him want her more and more, she was like his goddess.

  He opened his eyes and saw Alex, she had her eyes closed, feeling his every movement. Her skin was shining, almost shimmering, this was exciting and magical all in one, a fantasy come true. Alex was more beautiful than he could ever remember, her breasts fuller, her lips more luscious, he kissed her and tasted her tongue, he felt like he could have sex forever, it was like Alex had him under a spell, controlling him and giving him everything he needed. She was making love to his mind as well as his body.

  He closed his eyes, feeling every sense come alive, God thank you for this woman, he thought to himself
.

  Gary came inside her, he opened his eyes and he noticed Alex was now on top of him riding him hard, he was not sure how this had happened, but he just accepted the pleasure not wanting it to stop and not sure where he was getting the energy from.

  Alex had never felt so hungry for sex and love in her life, and now in death she was in total control, her every desire taking control, if she wanted it, she got it. One minute he was next to her, the next she was on him, then it was doggy style, she knew she was in charge now, everything she wanted was happening, and she wasn’t ready to stop yet.

  Gary couldn’t believe how many times he had come, he was normally very much in control to make it last, but he couldn’t. Alex just seemed to release him and then make him hard again and again, time no longer existed.

  Alex was his, but she was in complete control, and he loved it.

  Chapter Forty One

  It was night time and Alex had finally let Gary sleep. They had gone on for hours until she realized how exhausted he must be and stopped; Gary had fallen into a deep sleep straight away.

  Alex went downstairs and sat outside on the decking, watching the night sky, waiting for morning to arrive, she knew no one would be able to see her.

  She thought about what had just happened with her and Gary, she’d loved every minute, the thrills and the orgasms were like nothing she’d ever experienced, but she knew she needed to let Gary take some control, she couldn’t believe the strength and the power she’d had, she could have carried on forever.

  Alex had been worried that she might hurt Gary, but now he was safely asleep she felt the need to stretch her spirit self, her wings. She hadn’t shown these to Gary because she was frightened of scaring him off, but they were aching now.

  She closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment, she could feel them come to life and she stretched them out to their full width and then relaxed. She opened her eyes and touched her wings which felt soft. She had needed to stretch her wings more and more since that first time, it was as if they didn’t like being hidden away, they were part of her and she had to accept them, but also she was scared of them and what they really might mean.

  Alex heard a noise behind her and turned to see Gary standing there, staring at her, not saying a word, it was too late to conceal her wings.

  Alex turned and hid her face in her hands, and began to cry. Gary was frozen for a second, not sure if he was still dreaming, he hadn’t exactly been expecting this on top of everything else. He sat down at the table beside her. Alex folded her wings back in.

  “I’m sorry Gary. I didn’t know how to tell you. I was frightened it would scare you off me, and you’d send me away, I’ll leave if you can’t take it, I’ll understand.” Alex went to stand up; Gary put his hand on her leg to stop her.

  He looked lost, “Alex show me again, don’t hide,” said Gary, not taking his eyes off hers. Alex did as she was asked. Gary looked at her and smiled

  “Alex you are amazing, beautiful, heavenly even, you are my own guardian angel.”

  Alex looked down. “You aren’t saying that just because you think it’s what I want to hear,” she said.

  Gary touched her face to bring her back to look at him, “Alex, you are special and now I can see you’ve been kept on earth just for me, don’t you see? You’re my bound angel, stuck here for me, this makes you for real what I’ve always thought of you as: my angel.”

  Gary kissed her, Alex felt herself crying, but this time they were tears of joy.

  Her wings became extensions of her arms and wrapped around him, pulling him close, holding him tight and warm from the chill of the night air. “You still look tired Gary, let’s go back to bed, you need sleep, I’m sorry about earlier, I will try not to be so intense next time,” said Alex.

  “What? I loved it. That was mind-blowing, it was fantastic Alex.”

  Alex felt better as they walked inside. “Even so, you need your rest and we need to get you better and back to normal as much as we can, and that means going back to the club Gary. I know you’re avoiding it, but it’s part of you, and one of the reasons I love you,” she said.

  Gary didn’t reply so Alex didn’t push him for an answer, they both climbed back into bed and soon Gary fell back to sleep.

  Gary dreamt of holding her in his arms, but she was covered in blood. Alex could see his dreams and she held him closer to calm him and comfort him, to help him rest properly. She knew that it was going to take time and patience for him to fully recover.

  Chapter Forty Two

  Gary woke up late, he needed a real rest, every day was showing him new facets of Alex. Alex was, and always had been, his angel. He wondered what surprises the new day would bring.

  He looked over and smiled at Alex who was watching over him, her wings were not visible. “Why have you hidden them?” he asked.

  “They don’t always need to be out and proud, it’s just now and again that I need to stretch them. Anyway we’ve got other things to think about today,” said Alex.

  “What’s that?”

  “First get dressed while I fix you breakfast, then you can call Ray and tell him you’re coming into the club,” said Alex.

  “I’ll call Ray but I’m not up for going back to my room just yet,” said Gary.

  “We aren’t going to the room Gary, I know it’s still traumatic, but we are going into the office, we need to sort out the security in that place so nothing like this happens again. If Tracey does want to return we need to reassure her that she will be safe,” said Alex.

  “We! You can’t come, it’s too risky!” said Gary.

  “I’ve been thinking about that, I think I know a way, but that’s why I need you to get up and dressed and fed, you may need your strength.”

  Gary wondered what she had in mind, he washed and got dressed quickly. He picked up the phone from the bedside table and dialled Ray, who answered on the first ring.

  “Gary, are you ok?” said Ray.

  “It’s ok, Marie told me to call you and put your mind at rest and all that,” said Gary.

  “Well, you sound better, more like the Gary I know, but how are you really? You know I can come over, if you need company.”

  “That’s why I called, except I was thinking of coming to see you at the club,” said Gary.

  Ray went quiet for a moment. “Are you sure, I’m not trying to keep you away or anything, but I don’t want you rushing yourself either.”

  “It’s ok, I’m only going into the office, I want to look at the security. I don’t want this happening again. We need to make it safe. After all it’s home to a lot of the girls there,” said Gary.

  “Ok, I’m busy this morning but will be free this afternoon, the office will be empty till then,” said Ray.

  “Well, I may come in early and get a start on things, and then when you’re free we can talk through my ideas, if that’s ok.”

  “If you’re sure. I’ll see you later then” said Ray.

  Gary went down to the kitchen where Alex had got the breakfast ready.

  “I called Ray, and told him I’m going in this morning and will catch up with him later this afternoon. But are you sure about this?” asked Gary.

  “Look you don’t know much about computers and what’s needed for security. But I do, I was the best,” said Alex passing him his coffee.

  “That’s not what I meant, and you know it,” said Gary.

  “I know, look, just eat up and don’t worry.”

  Gary was worried that Ray or Melissa might come into the office and see her, that they might have a strong enough connection. He didn’t want them to know about Alex’s presence, so he ate his breakfast quickly, eager to know what her plan was.

  “Right, have you finished?” said Alex as she came back into the kitchen.

  “Yes.”

  “Ok let’s try something,” said Alex.

  Gary stood up and followed Alex into the living room.

  “Right, I’m going to try something
that I hope I can use to get into the office and to stop you feeling worried. I’m going to enter you for a few seconds to see how you feel,” said Alex.

  “Enter me, well that sounds kinky,” said Gary with a laugh.

  “Just stand still.” She walked up to him and then right into him; she completely disappeared. Gary couldn’t see her anywhere.

  “Alex where are you?”

  Gary began to feel out of control, it was like last night but stronger, he couldn’t move.

  “What’s happening?” Gary asked.

  “It’s ok, I’m here with you, trust me,” said Alex, her voice seemed to come from within him.

  He started to move forwards slowly at first then more quickly, it was very strange.

  “Alex, please, what’s happening, where are you?” said Gary.

  The feeling went and Alex appeared in front of him smiling.

  “You ok?” she said holding his hand to steady him.

  “What was that, what just happened?” he asked.

  “I took over your body, I entered you and controlled your movements, this way I can go into the office without being seen, and once inside I can come out of you, that’s if you’re ok with it?”

  Gary looked at her, taking in what she’d just said. “You controlled me from within?”

  Alex held his hand. “If it was too much I will just risk it and come with you,” she said.

  Gary thought about it: he didn’t want the others to see her. “Ok. Let’s try it again, I think it just threw me off a bit,” he said.

  Alex nodded, and again she disappeared, the peculiar feeling came back but this time he was prepared for it.

  “Ok, walk over to the front door and pick up the car keys,” said Gary.

  Alex took control and did as he told her.

  “Right let’s go to the car,” said Gary. Alex went to walk to the door. “Wait, can I talk to you with my mind. I don’t want people hearing me talking to myself.”

  “I’m not sure. I could try and take over completely until we get there if you want, and if you trust me,” said Alex.
