The Devil Tainted Us (A Gothic, Age Gap and Forbidden Romance)

The crashing of the waves and howling wind fill the atmosphere, with the earthy fragrance of the wet sand and sea wafting around my nostrils.

My gaze falls upon the horizon where unknown lands lie miles away, with the view mingling with the crystal blue sky where the bird flies free. My white dress moves along with the strength of the wind but my legs keep it caged in its place.

This is what peace feels like.

Freedom. Calmness. Heavenly.

For years I have hoped for this peace but the darkness that shadowed my life made me hopeless about this moment. At one point, I told myself this moment doesn’t exist in reality.

But now…being with Eryx, I know what peace truly feels like.

He kept his promise and didn’t leave me. Every single day he showed how much I mean to him and that I am his whole world.

I even got to meet his brother, who treats me like his own sister. Eros soon recovered and started to work in a small pharmacy in Vailburg. Eryx on the other hand, wanted to do something simple and started to work in a library. While I followed my dream and opened my own art gallery and school. We soon realized that a life of luxury wasn’t meant for us, so I sold my parents house and shifted to a one-story house, near the shore side.

I look down at the ink on my ring finger, a reminder that I’m a part of Eryx. He also has a ring tattooed on his finger like mine as we both wanted to mark each other forever. It has been two years and each day feels like a new day with him that leads to the path of love and happiness.

“I knew you would be here,” Eryx murmurs from behind, breaking me free from the trance of thoughts.

I smile over my shoulder as he stalks towards me with a smirk. No matter how many times I look at him, I always feel alive being with him.

He sits beside me. His arms and chest stretching against his black shirt that I can;t help but stare. He puts one hand over my shoulder and I lean my head against his chest.

“How are you feeling today?” he asks, his other hand caressing my swelled-up belly where our baby is growing day after day.

“Slightly tired.”

He lets out a breathy chuckle as I feel the vibration of his chest against my back. He leans forward and kisses my temple.

“Just a few more weeks and she will be here.”

I frown. “How do you know it’s a she? The baby could be a boy too.”

“I just have this strong feeling it will be a girl and if it is a boy even then I have no problem. Because no matter what, I will love our child with all my heart, just like their mother.”

“Now don’t get too sentimental with your lines when you know my hormones can fuck me up anytime and make me cry.”

He lets out a hearty laugh that always makes me swoon.

“Well, other than fucking you up, I know your hormones do something else too that I have no objection about.”

I try to hide my smile, feeling my cheeks flushed. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

He grabs my hair, leaning my head back with a dark smirk that holds a dark promise as always. “You know well what I’m talking about, little girl. I’m talking about the times you would ride my cock like you can’t get enough. And trust me when I say, just the thought of your belly swelling because me makes me want to fuck you harder.”

I bite my lip, feeling my heart race against my chest as my hormones kick in and clench my thighs. As if he knows his words are already affecting me, his eyes gloom with the dark desire that sets every inch of my skin of fire.

“Does my little girl want to be fucked now?”

I nod with a whimper.

He tightens his hold on my hair making me ache for him more as I let out a moan.

“Use your words, little girl. Say what you want,” his lightly nibbles my cheek as I yelp, “and I will give it to you happily. Do you want my cock in your aching, wet cunt?”

“Yes, please! Yes.”

“Please what?” he teases me.

“I want you, Eryx. I want you inside me and fuck me like there is no tomorrow,” I beg. “Please. I’m burning for you.”

“That’s my good little girl,” he whispers, gifting me with a sinister smile before he scoops me in his arms and carries me inside our house.

Taking me back to our world where it is just the two of us.

No sins.

No darkness.

No emptiness.

We bid farewell to that darkness forever and let happiness and love rule over our world…letting us be far away from the Magdalene and its darkness. As Eryx carries me inside our house, my eyes spot the vase where the rose which was on the verge of dying back in the Magdalene, is now fully blooming along with the other roses surrounding it.

Just like us, it got a second chance in life where no longer…the devil tainted us.
