Damien's POV

　　Pulling Red against my side, my fingers trailed up and down the naked planes of her back absentmindedly, inhaling her sweet scent of vanilla and coconut; I groaned needily, blanketed by an unexpected sense of peace. Sensing her shift to look up at me, I looked down at her pushing some of her wild red hair from her face.

　　"How did you know it was my birthday, Ace?" She asked, confusion written on that gorgeous face of hers.

　　"It's my job to know things!" I winked, closing the gap between our lips, knowing she was about to probe further. Ares scoffed in my head, making me anxious.

　　"What was I meant to say: I stayed up all night and stalked the hell out of you until I knew everything I could find out. Yeah, she will love that!"

　　"You never know! It worked for Joe." Ares snorted.

　　"Joe?" I asked, confused. We didn't know a Joe!

　　"From that Netflix series she was watching the other night! 'You!' The guy stalked that girl until he made his move on her! Remind you of anyone?"

　　"Fuck off!" I grumbled halfheartedly. "Didn't he kill her in the end?"

　　"YEP!" He laughed as he returned to his cave.

　　"You ok there, Red?" I smirked against her lips, feeling her body shiver against me. Running my fingers over the blush that had spread across her cheeks, I smiled down at her as she nodded. Words had apparently escaped her for once. She was flawless, and I still couldn't believe this angel was now mine.

　　"Seriously though, are you ok? I know the first time can be a little painful. You should have told me you were a virgin, Red - I would have been gentler with you." I reprimanded, lifting her chin so she had no choice but to stare at me, wanting to make sure she wasn't lying.

　　"Deflowered many women, Ace!" She teased, leaning against my thumb that held her head in place, taking it into her mouth, her teeth grazing it roughly- Making my dick come to life again. Pushing my hand out the way she pressed her lips against mine, nibbling on my lip in the provocative way she did.

　　"Red.." I groaned as her tongue invaded my mouth, seeking out its new playmate. Gripping her chin and pulling her back to look at me, my eyes narrowed on her darkly. "You can't distract me that easily." I grinned, "Are you ok?"

　　"Well, I was better 2 seconds ago, but I am fine. I promise." She whispered, although the look in the back of her eyes told me she was holding back on me. Making a mental note to prove a point to her later and teach her that I would not accept her lying to me in future, I simply nodded, leaning over to pull her back into my arms.

　　"So, you want your present, baby girl?" I asked, changing the subject- for now.

　　"Yess", She squealed, making me chuckle at her youthful innocence, pulling the pair of us up to sit against the headboard, unashamed of our nakedness! I had spent all afternoon indulging in each and every one of her curves; her sublime body was now imprinted in my mind forever. Winking at her, my lips teased at hers just as my fingers found her already hard nipples rolling them between my fingers and thumb, swallowing her pleasurable moan possessively.

　　"I hope you like it, angel!" I smiled, pulling away from her breathless lips, feeling genuinely nervous for the first time in years; I hadn't had a lot of time to get this sorted, and I was putting my faith in Ares that she would not sense the dark magic I had woven into her present. Placing one hand on her thigh, squeezing it hard, I sucked in a breath. It was now or never!

　　Holding my free hand out between us, I flashed her a charming smile as a small antique box appeared in my palm, beautiful pink marble stained glass encased in gold swirls. Her gasp made me smirk, nodding for her to take it; I smiled as her dainty fingers wrapped around it, bringing it to her lap; she looked at me adoringly, leaning up to press her lips tenderly to mine.

　　"Thank you, it's beautiful", She expressed, looking at the hours of craftsmanship that had unmistakably gone into its design. Unlocking it and lifting the lid inside on a bed of pink velvet sat her present; I watched her, desperate to see approval on her face.

　　"Damien!" She inhaled breathlessly. "Oh my god, it's..." Holding my breath, I closed my eyes, my cold heart suddenly hammering to life. "Exquisite! I don't think I have ever seen anything so beautiful." Relief spread through me like a tidal wave. My whole body seemed to relax back against the bed.

　　"Well, I happen to think it doesn't even compare to your beauty, baby girl... but you like it?" I quizzed, watching her lift the tiny ring that sat upon the velvet and lift it to look at it properly.

　　"It's black rutilated quartz," I explained, taking it from her hand and bringing it to my lips, placing a kiss against the precious stones. "It reminded me of you.. see how the stone is white, pure and innocent with black darkness twisting through it like a spider's web- not light, not dark, but a beautiful concoction of both. Like you!"

　　"I am speechless; it's perfect! But you shouldn't have Damien! it must have cost a fortune!" She whispered, looking at the ring band, her jaw dropping open as she looked at me in shock. "Are these diamonds!"

　　"Only the best for you, Red." Lifting her hand, I slipped her gift from her hold and placed it securely on her right ring finger, winking at her playfully.

　　"You need to learn to behave if you want one for the other hand!" I teased, seeing her roll her eyes and slap my solid chest.

　　"And maybe. You know... have known you for longer than a few days!" She added with a giggle looking at her ring, stunned! "You really think it's ok to be both.. good and evil?" she asked, lost in her own thoughts. My eyes filled with sincerity; I cupped her chin gently and turned her to look at me.

　　"Red, everyone has the power to be good and evil; no one is born one of the other- apart from my father, I am pretty sure he was born a giant douchebag!" I laughed with a mischievous wink.

　　"Now, how about you thank me for your present!" I grinned, flinging the sheet off my lap to show her my hard-on bulging against my lower abdomen.

　　"Perv", She giggled; her eyes travelled down my chest, across the sculpted V to where my dick lay waiting for her; licking her lips greedily, I groaned darkly, the room instantly filling with the sweet scent of her arousal.

　　"And you love it!" I winked knowingly, seeing her try to use those eyes of her to give an illusion of purity.

　　"You can pretend you are as innocent as you like, Red, but the fact your apartment is thick with the scent of your arousal, and I know it's my cum dripping from your pretty little cunt, tells me how far from virginal you are now!" I winked at her cupping her sex in my hand, finding her already soaked for me, dipping two fingers back in her honey pot, my thumb circling her clit ravenously. Her beautiful green hues locked on mine, begging me not to stop.

　　"So needy!" I grinned, teasing her walls as they tightened around my fingers, telling me she was close already. Winking provocatively at her, I pulled them from her, chuckling at her cute objections. Lifting my fingers to circle her bruised lips, spreading the proof of my statement across them with satisfaction in my eyes.

　　"So how about you wrap these pretty lips around my cock and show me just how grateful you are!" I grinned brazenly.
