Savior

Chapter Nine: Not Quite Love

It was around midnight when the Fen Raft spider alerted Claude that an intruder had entered the house. Given the hour, the demon was quick to assume that the blond reaper the demon had spoken to just hours earlier had delivered Claude's message to Grell. The soft cry of his name confirmed that the red head was indeed present.

Irritated at his own eagerness to seek out the reaper, the demon slipped out of bed and carefully maneuvered around the spiders in his room, reassuring them that all was well as he passed. Entering the hallway, the raven haired man watched as Grell turned the corner from the hallway, glancing around warily for a moment before he noticed Claude.

"Claude…" Grell whispered, looking a bit unsure of himself.

Claude smirked at the reaper's choice of sleepwear, silky red pajamas that were a bit too large, his tangled hair put up into a hasty ponytail. With a blush, the reaper approached him reluctantly, a finger twisting in his long hair.

"I was expecting you to arrive at a more appropriate hour, such as in the morning." Claude said, a teasing tone lacing his voice as the red head stopped a few feet away from him.

"And I wasn't expecting Ronald to burst through my door in the middle of the night to relay me a message from you." The reaper replied with a scowl. "Besides, demons don't need to sleep! You're just being lazy!"

'The hallway is not an appropriate place to have a discussion.' The demon thought to himself as he looked around the dimly hallway, only illuminated by the moonlight shinning through the windows. The sitting room was nearby though, and would be a comfortable place for the two to have their discussion.

"Follow me," Claude said, ignoring Grell's insult. "We shall go to the sitting room to speak." The demon said as he turned away from the reaper and began walking down the hall.

An irritated grunt was followed by the sound of the ridiculous heels that the red head insisted on wearing, tapping along the floor as he hurried to catch up. The demon raised an eyebrow as a slender arm locked with his own, finding humor in the reaper who would not return his gaze, but found it necessary to touch him in such a way.

Turning his attention away from the red head for the moment, Claude led Grell down the hallway and through the maze of a mansion. A few spiders hovered above their heads, tiny eyes watching as the pair walked onward in the darkness. Finally, Claude paused at a doorway, gesturing for the reaper to enter inside before following afterwards.

The room was tastefully furnished, a large white couch with plush pillows up against a one wall, a few matching chairs across from it, and a small table in between. The red head immediately made his way over to the couch, and the demon followed behind wordlessly, lighting a few candles before taking a seat next to the reaper.

The two sat in awkward silence, unsure what to say. Finally, Grell broke the silence.

"Why did you have Ronald tell me you were here?" The reaper questioned, his acidic green eyes swirling with questions and emotions.

The demon remained silent, contemplating his answer. He wasn't quite sure why he had told the blond man to relay the message, other than the silent admission to himself that he did, indeed, miss having the red headed man around.

"I wanted you to return to me." The demon replied uncertainly.

"I wasn't the one that left!" Grell snapped as a frown crossed his features.

"I was not given a choice in the matter, if you'll kindly recall." Claude said coldly, his golden eyes shimmering in the dark room. "You shoved me through the portal and threw my personal items after me."

"I actually kicked them…" The reaper admitted with a giggle, a grin forcing its way onto his face as he gave the raven haired man a humored look.

Some of the bitterness in the demon dissolved at the sudden smile, the reaper looking much more at ease now. The dark haired demon decided to take the initiative and lead the conversation, hopefully avoiding a fight in the process.

"Our last encounter did not end well, as we had many differences of opinion. However, after taking a few days to analyze the… emotions…" Claude hesitated at the word, feeling uncomfortable admitting to even having emotions, much less ones towards a reaper. "…I've been feeling for the past few weeks, I've decided that perhaps I was mistaken."

Grell stared at him in surprise, and Claude resisted the urge to look away from the probing stare. For a demon to speak of emotions, it was similar to exposing your neck to a blade. Emotions were dangerous, not to be trusted. And here he sat, exposing himself in such an undignified manner to a gender-confused enemy.

"Aw~! Claude, I knew it!" The reaper squealed as he threw himself into the raven haired man.

Claude flailed in surprise as Grell threw his body upon the demon's own. The weight of the reaper hitting his upper body caused the dark haired man to fall backwards onto the couch as his face was littered with soft kisses.

The demon took hold of the red head's shoulders, pushing him away slightly to stop the loving assault on his face. The red headed man gave a peeved look, swooping in to place another kiss on Claude's cheek only to have a hand slap over his mouth, successfully blocking the affectionate peck.

"I don't love you." Claude said firmly, watching the feminine man for a response.

A wet lick to his hand followed by a sharp bite made the demon wrinkle his nose in distaste as he removed his hand from the reaper's mouth. Inspecting his hand, the demon noted that the red head's sharp teeth had sliced into his flesh quite easily, leaving behind a few red drops of blood.

"Of course you don't." Grell said with a devilish smile. "It's only been a few weeks darling, much too soon for love~! But you do feel something, and that's enough for me for now." The red head replied before placing a soft kiss to Claude's lips.

The demon ran his tongue along the reaper's bottom lip, enticing the other man to deepen the kiss. A wet tongue met his own, and the two fought for dominance, the firm muscles sliding against each other heatedly. After a moment, Grell broke away.

"And you should know that I don't love you either. Not yet at least. But whatever it is I feel for you, is different. It's nice. Nothing like what I've felt for William in the past. I like this." The reaper said softly, smiling a toothy smile.

"What will happen now? I cannot go back to your realm." The demon questioned as he stared at the reaper's kiss-swollen lips.

The red head sat up, straddling the demon's legs as he smiled down at him. Placing a finger thoughtfully to his chin, the reaper spoke.

"Well, if you can't go there, I guess I'll just have to come here now won't I? This mansion hasn't been entered since Alois passed away, so any family of his probably has no interest in the estate." Grell reasoned, "I'll just contact them under a fake name with an offer to die~ for!"

Claude raised an eyebrow at the statement.

"You mean to tell me you have that kind of money?" The demon questioned skeptically.

"Oh course! I've been a working reaper for almost a century now darling, and most things in the reaper realm are paid for by the association. Most of the money I've made has been saved. Though, I do love to go shopping for clothing on occasion~! It would be so shameful for a woman of my stature to be seen in anything less than the latest fashion!" The reaper declared happily, bouncing slightly on Claude's lap and making him bite back a groan.

Sliding his hands up the reaper's thighs, the demon stopped before he could reach the man's groin. Golden eyes flickered upward to meet bright green, and Claude noted the crimson blush staining the red head's cheeks. Slowly rubbing the smaller man's thighs with his thumbs, the demon continued.

"My, it seems you've thought of everything, haven't you Ms. Sutcliff? But will your darling William be so eager to allow such a thing you after you lied to him? I've heard he's quite displeased with you." The demon said with amusement as he watched a sour look cross the reaper's face.

"Don't you worry about William~!" Grell said as he grinded roughly into the demon below. "I'll take care of the details. Now enough talking, I'm in the mood for something a bit more sinful right now ~!"

Bare hands slid under Claude's night shirt, tracing over the muscles that sculpted his body. The touch seemed to make his skin sizzle with pleasure, and the demon was pleased to know that this time they would remain uninterrupted.

Sitting up, the demon ignored the smaller man's startled gasp, scooping the lusting reaper into his arms and standing. The raven haired man considered taking the red head to his bedroom, but the prospect of curious spiders exploring them while they had relations didn't sound ideal. However, the nearby guest bedroom would serve well.

With a destination in mind, Claude made his way across the room quickly, ignoring the slender arms that encircled his neck and the giggles from the red headed man. As he began down the hallway, the demon was startled to find a cool breeze wafting across his chest. Looking down, he was surprised to find that the eager reaper had begun to unbutton his shirt, pressing soft kisses and sucks along the newly exposed skin.

Feeling his cheeks darken at the lewd action, the demon smirked and sped up, using his inhuman speed to reach their destination within seconds. The door was kicked open, and the raven haired man tossed the red head onto the bed a few feet away, meeting him there almost immediately as he crawled between the reaper's legs.

The body beneath him was build for lustful acts, and Claude watched as the reaper gasped and arched into the demon's body, cheeks painted red and mouth open slightly. It was reassuring, the way that the man below him seemed to enjoy the dark haired man's rough treatment.

He was a demon by nature, being a tender and caring partner was not something that he could accomplish if he intended to enjoy himself.

A hand took hold of his unbuttoned shirt and yanked hard, pulling the demon down into a searing kiss. An eager tongue rubbed against Claude's own, enticing him to engage in a battle to dominate the sensual kiss. The body below him sat up slightly as hands shoved the shirt down Claude's body, and the demon allowed the cloth to slip from his torso, exposing his toned body to his new partner.

Red painted nails drew down his chest, scratching the demon's sensitive skin and making him shudder. The kiss was broken, and green lustful eyes examined the dark haired man's newly exposed body before flickering up to the demon's golden gaze. Silky red pajamas blocked the reaper's soft flesh from Claude's view, and irritation filtered through the demon's body. Taking hold of the shirt, he quickly tore it in two, exposing the white flesh beneath. Ignoring the sensual whine from the red head, he took a firm hold of the pants next, tearing them away from the reaper's aroused body.

"Oh Claude~! Such passionate responses from such a stoic man, eager to ravish his new partner in the most animalistic of ways! Your touch sets my body on fire, my dear!" Grell cried out as he wriggled against the demon. "But you're still partially dressed, that won't do~!" The man giggled as he tugged on Claude's pants.

Claude sat up, pulling away from the reaper as he began to unbutton his pants, shoving them down around his hips. Careful to preserve his own clothing, the demon easily shoved the fabric down his legs, kicking the pants and boxers off without a second thought. A small hand immediately reached down to cup his groin, making the demon moan in response.

"Oh, you're so big~! You'll surely fill me up just perfectly, won't you?" Grell said teasingly, giving Claude's member a few jerks.

Another hand came to his chest, pushing against the demon until he gave in and rolled onto his back. As the feminine reaper settled between his legs, Claude eyed him warily.

"I'll not accept a submissive position." He warned, trying to keep his voice steady as the red head placed soft nips against his abdomen.

The red head giggled in response as he trailed soft kisses, licks, and nibbled down to the demon's groin, and Claude allowed his head to fall back as heat pooled in his abdomen. Lush lips gave the tip of his erection a wet kiss, and silky red hair tickling his thighs.

"Oh darling, I have no intention of having my wicked way with you! I'm a woman at heart, you know, and such a thing doesn't interest me!" Grell said with a small smile on his lips as he gazed up at Claude, hot breath trailing over the demon's throbbing erection. "But that doesn't mean I can't help you find pleasure in other ways, darling~!"

Claude watched as the red head brought a slender finger to his lips, taking the digit into his mouth and bobbing his head around it, alluding to his intentions. A moment later, the slick digit was pulled from the reaper's mouth and the demon's member was enclosed in liquid heat.

The dark haired man's eyes drifted closed as he concentrated on the pleasure he was feeling. Grell's tongue wriggled and stroked his length, the slick muscle pressing against him deliciously as the red head bobbed his head along Claude's hard erection.

As his body shuddered, the demon dug his fingers into the bedding beneath him, thrusting up into the reaper's eager mouth. A soft hand fondled his sack, causing him to hiss in pleasure, his cheeks hot as pleasure coursed through his body. Suddenly, a probing finger slid between his cheeks and pressed against his entrance.

"And what is it you think you're doing?" Claude snapped, eyes glowing with demonic energy as he sat up to face the smaller man.

"My! What a reaction~! Are you afraid of something new darling? I already said I wasn't going to take advantage of your body in such a way~!" The reaper giggled, his voice teasing as he gave a coy smile to his new partner.

The demon stared at the reaper, his yellow eyes narrow and swirling with irritation, giving the smaller man a silent warning. Slowly, he lay back down and tried to relax again. His now-flaccid member was taken back into the red head's mouth, the slender reaper suckling the flesh until it was back at full arousal.

The probing finger pressed firmly against Claude's entrance again, breaching the tight muscle and sliding in slowly. The demon frowned at the uncomfortable feeling, but a harsh suck drew his attention back to the red head's oral ministrations.

The reaper pressed the demon's length towards the back of his throat and swallowed as the finger inside of him began to thrust and probe his inside, and Claude buried a hand into the other man's long, red hair. A sudden jolt of pleasure sparked from inside him, and the dark haired man's eyes opened wide as his body was wracked with ecstasy.

"Oh… Fuck!" The demon swore as the reaper thrust his finger in and out of his entrance, nailing his prostate with every thrust.

Claude could feel his climax building rapidly as his body was assaulted with pleasure from all angles. Persistent touches to his prostate sent waves of pleasure through the demon's body, and the twirl of the reaper's skilled tongue made his hips jerk and quiver. Knowing he wouldn't last much longer, the demon pulled Grell off his member harshly, drawing him upward and into a kiss.

The kiss was searing and rough, and Claude kept his hand tightly tangled in Grell's hair, enjoying the way the red head grinded and shuddered against him. Feminine gasps and groans were muffled by the demon's lips.

The demon's free hand came up within the blink of an eye, wrapping around the reaper's throat and catching the smaller man by surprise, hands flying up to meet his own. Throwing the red head down onto the bed, Claude quickly turned the tables, falling between the reaper's slender legs as he pressed against the reaper's windpipe. With a lustful smile, Claude was pleased to find that the red head seemed to be enjoying the treatment.

"Ah~! Oh, yes…" Grell hissed out as he arched against the demon's strong body.

Letting the reaper go, Claude watched as the man gasped for air, holding his tender throat as his dazed eyes stared lustfully at the raven haired man.

"Roll into your stomach." The demon ordered, strong hands clasping the reaper's small hips to turn him.

The panting red head complied, exposing a pert bottom and a sensual back covered in blood colored hair. Reaching forward, the demon took hold of the reaper's arms, drawing them behind his back. Allowing his thread to release, Claude quickly bound the smaller man's arms.

"Ah~! You're so kinky, Claude!" The reaper laughed, sounding breathless and lustful as he squirmed on the bed.

"Get to your knees." The spider demon demanded, ignoring the giddy red head.

Helping the reaper to his knees, Claude couldn't help but pull back and appreciate the sight before him. Face flushed and turned to the side to watch him, the reaper looked stunning in the moonlit room. His back was arched sensually, and his opened legs exposed the red head fully from between fleshy mounds.

Pressing his throbbing erection against the reaper's entrance, Claude placed two fingers at the red head's mouth, grinding against the smaller man as he took the digits into his mouth. A soft tongue darted along his fingers as his erection slid over the man's tight entrance teasingly. Pulling his fingers from the red head's mouth, the demon pulled away and positioned his fingers at the man's exposed entrance.

Pressing a finger inside the reaper without remorse, Claude roughly plunged them in and out of the slender man, watching in amusement as the reaper cried out and thrust back onto his fingers. A second finger quickly joined the first, stretching the tight entrance as the fingers twisted and separated inside the red head.

Watching his fingers disappear inside the reaper over and over, Claude took hold of his own member and began to stroke, his aching length dripping precum. Finally, he could take no more, yanking his fingers from the smaller man and slamming his erection in to the hilt.

"AH! Oh~!" Grell cried out, his body shivering with a soft sob. "You brutish bastard!"

Leaning down, the demon placed soft kisses along the reaper's spine as the man's body adjusted. The red head's heated walls surrounding his length was the sweetest sin that he had ever encountered, and his body ached to ravish the body below him.

A moment later, Grell's body shifted against his own teasingly, testing the feel of Claude's length inside him. The red head let out a soft moan, and the demon knew that he was finally free to move. Pulling out of the smaller man, the demon's hips snapped forward again, entrapping him inside the reaper once again.

The two began a harsh pace, the demon's hands holding firm to the reaper's slender waist as he pulled the man back against him over and over. Adjusting his aim, Claude almost laughed when Grell let out a shrill scream.

"OH! Oh yes, please~! …Harder!" The smaller man cried out as he tossed his head side to side in pleasure.

"Yes, Ms. Sutcliff." Claude replied, speaking up and slamming into the reaper again and again.

Skin slapped together, the sound echoing throughout the room as breathy gasps and moans filtered through the air. Trembles and cried emerged from the red head before him, and Claude could feel the tingle and heat of his completion coming upon him quickly.

Reaching down, his hand enclosed around Grell's throbbing length, encircling the sensitive flesh and making the red head sob into the blanket below him in pleasure. Jerking on the member with one hand, Claude threw himself into the animalistic action of sex, his instincts taking over as his thrusts lost their rhythm.

The length in the demon's hand twitched, and the dark haired man watched through half opened eyes as the reaper's back arched, orgasm taking the smaller man into ecstasy. Thick liquid coated the demon's fingers, and the reaper's tight entrance grew hot and taunt. With a few more sporadic thrusts, Claude lost himself inside the red head, filling the smaller man to the brim.

Panting and covered in sweat, the demon pulled out of Grell's messy entrance before falling to the side, dragging the reaper along with him. Taking a moment to unbind the smaller man's hands, Claude pulled the other man flush against his chest possessively.

His own heart beat pounding inside his ears, Claude knew that this would be the start of a very interesting relationship.
