Hellbound With You

Chapter 932: Alicia & Zeke Side Story 8

After another round of intense lovemaking, Zeke finally managed to pull away from her. They were nowhere near sated yet, but he was starting to feel the urgent need to address the more important issues. They should not be putting it off any longer than necessary. Their couple of rounds earlier should be enough to last them until the more pertinent matters were settled.          

So, he brought Alicia into his room and soaked her in the tub along with him. He had also used his demonic magic to lessen the effects of this world on her desires.      

She was new here and furthermore, she was not a demon. She was defenseless against the dangerous effects of this world to her. If he did not put up a shield against it for her, she would slowly but surely be affected by it.     

When she finally calmed down, Zeke did not waste a moment to start questioning Alicia. He wished he could just hold her and revel in her presence. But he knew that her presence here in this world was something he needed to deal with as soon as possible. As it stood, it was already something that should not have happened. She had no demonic powers nor was she part demon. Thus, it was not possible for her to enter the Underworld.     

After Alicia told him everything - about how Sebastian and Zeres being the ones who used the spell to force the gates of hell to open and how she had been accidentally dragged in - Zeke was both relieved and at the same in disbelief.

He was just glad that no one had dragged her into this world like he had initially thought was the case and that she had fallen into this world by accident. He was also relieved that Alicia had stopped Sebastian from getting pulled into this world.      

When Zeke found out about many of the dark secrets of this world, he had felt glad that he had never allowed Sebastian to get dragged into this world. It was because he knew how his brother was. He understood Sebastian's behaviour and character. And based on all that he had learned of the Underworld, Zeke realized that if Sebastian was the one who had ended up falling into this place, he would… he would let himself loose and turn into a complete monster. Once that limit has been breached, he would be nothing short of being unredeemable. And that was not what Zeke had hoped for that brother of his.     

"Have you been… keeping well here, Ezekiel?" Alicia asked as she straddled his lap, her delicate hands caressing his handsome face. Her gentle motions sent ticklish tingles spreading outwards from his face, down his neck and shot straight to his groin.     

Enjoying the intimacy that they were having together as a couple, Zeke held her hands and pressed it into his cheeks.      

"Fighting everyday is… easy. Honestly, there are times I find myself enjoying it a little too much. I just sometimes fear that I might end up being someone unrecognizable once I return to you and our… child." He replied honestly. He knew that was the truth. Even just earlier on, just before Alicia appeared before him, he had been feeling how everything was just becoming a blur. That it was all a series of non-feeling, never ending series of fights and battles and a drawn out war. It was a miracle that Alicia had appeared when she did, knocking him out of that stasis where he was quite sure that he would have lost the ability to feel much as time passed by down here.      

They both shared a moment of silence, each staring into the other's eyes. Both having their own thoughts swirling in their own minds, before Alicia smiled gently at her husband.     

"He's a boy." Alicia told him softly as her eyes became emotional. "I named him… Azriel. His nickname is Azy. He is an exceptional and loving six year old, Ezekiel." Her tone was filled with love and pride for the child that was borne from their love.     

Zeke's hand shook a little as he tried to contain his own fluctuating emotions. "You chose a cool name. Nothing less than what I had expected of you, my wife."      

A sweet, emotional smile tugged at Alicia's lips. "He's a sweet boy. He's like a mini you, really. Everytime I look at him, I see you in him. And he's been what's keeping me sane and alive since you left. I am… I am so beyond happy and thankful that I have Azy, Ezekiel. I couldn't imagine my life without him while you're gone."     

He pulled her into his embrace and buried his face in her hair. "I'm… happy to know that… Alicia." His heartbeats sped up as he tried to imagine the image of his son that had features of them both. Whatever he looked like, Zeke was sure that he would definitely be an extraordinary child. How could a child from him and Alicia be anything less than perfect?     

"Azy and I are doing really fine with everyone being supportive of us. Alexander and Abi's twins are now like his older siblings… he's an intelligent and lovely child. He told me that he will be waiting patiently for his daddy to return to us, Ezekiel."      

"Mmm…" he could only utter as his hold on her tightened. He was barely keeping his emotions from bursting out of control, wishing more than anything at that moment to be able to see and hold his son in his arms.     

Alicia could feel his strong emotions and it was making her heart bleed. But to her, her husband was the strongest man ever.      

After just hugging him for a long time, Alicia asked him about his situation in this world.      

Zeke did not hesitate and told her what she had wanted to know. Everything that she heard made her heartbeat race even though the way he told her the story sounded so easy, as if he was not the one being involved in the happenings. However, she knew that it could not have been that easy for him.
