The Fallen Angels Academy Trilogy: Paranormal reverse harem romance Read online

  I sucked in a deep breath, not letting myself cave.

  “Lamora.” Shit. Even my voice sounded so slutty. My breath was caught in my throat.

  “Lamora.” His eyes fell on me as he repeated my name. Damn. I never noticed how sexy and hot my name had sounded until it was in his voice. My breathing got heavier by the second. Fuck, how could he be so fucking hot? It was almost illegal.

  “You must be new around here,” said the brooding stranger. “It’s not a good enough excuse to break the curfew.” He tightened his grip on me. “I shall take you to the court for judgment.”

  My eyes widened. I tried to wriggle him off but he was too strong. His clutch on me was so firm. I felt so tiny and weak. He could easily crush me with his weight. The thought of being under him sent sparks flying in my tummy. Holy shit, Lamora, stop thinking about being dominated by this hot stranger when I was about to get into hot soup.

  “Get your hand off me, asshole. If it’s over the curfew then why the fuck are you loitering around here?”

  The stranger glared at me and tightened his grip. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Lamora.” Damn. I almost melted at Lamora. His voice was so fucking sensual I would give myself to him. Well, I’d been saving myself for someone special. Alas, there wasn’t a man masculine and gorgeous enough to take my v-card.

  If only he wasn’t such a prick. I glared back at him in a challenge. No way was I submitting to him, even though my slutty side was screaming in need. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction tonight.

  “What are you going to do now?” he smirked. I was debating between kissing him and kicking him. In a quick movement, I kicked on the wall and did a somersault, freeing myself of his grip before landing on one knee. Pride swelled in my chest when I saw a mixed look of awe and shocked on his face.

  “What the fuck?” he mouthed. My powers might have been stripped but they didn’t take my memories. All the knowledge and fighting skills I had picked up were there. “Don’t you fuck with me, whoever fuck you are.”

  “You've got a big mouth for someone who’s been caught breaking the rules,” said the brooding stranger. “Wait until you’re on your knees…oh fuck, you’re going to look so damn hot when you’re kneeling in front of me.”

  With a groan, I kicked him in the shins. The bigger man let out an anguished cry and grabbed me by the hair. I had no idea what came over me but it felt so fucking hot. A needy groan escaped my chest. Maybe deep down inside, I had this secret desired to be grabbed in the hair and thrown around like a ragdoll by some hunky hot stranger.

  “You’re not going anywhere,” he growled.

  I grabbed onto his arm, taking the chance to feel the rigid muscles against my fingertips. Damn. It was so hard…so taut…it made me wonder if his sex was equally stiff at the same time. The dirty fantasies whirling in my head made the space between my thighs tingle and wetter.

  I squeezed my legs together and tried to get out of his clasp. With a growl, the brooding man grabbed me harder, shooting an electric bolt straight to my core. At this point, I kinda wished that he would throw me on the floor and claim me right away. The urgent need growing within me was getting unbearable. I just wanted him to satisfy the sexual urges that consumed my body.

  Shame crept on my face when he tugged me up so that I was looking straight into his eyes. His muscular chest bobbed steadily, inches away from my breasts. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” He grabbed me by the jaw, making me yelp out in fright and thrill.

  My hot gasps were rushing out through my gritted teeth. I couldn’t bring myself to look him in the eyes. Even to glare at him. I knew I would yield.

  “What are you gonna do?” My sassy mouth. Damnit! I couldn’t help myself. Part of me wanted to stay away from trouble. But my naughty side just wanted to push his buttons. All of them. Maybe it was just my natural instinct. After all, I was the Angel of Mischief, right? I was born to fuck things up. To get myself so deep in trouble until I couldn’t get up. Oh god, speaking of deep…

  A blazing heat shot through my skin. Another growl rose from his throat. The color on his cheeks heightened as he glared at me. He tightened his grip on my hair. The thick veins on his lean muscles bulged and throbbed like they were alive.

  “You’ve no idea what you’re getting yourself into, Lamora. If I were you, I would–” A loud thump rang in my ears. The brooding stranger’s face remained serious but his eyes flashed with anger and resentment when he turned around.

  Tessa was standing behind him with a pan. A fucking pan? Where did she even get that thing? Tessa and I were about the same height and size and the brooding stranger’s build blocked her entirely when she stood behind him. That was how large he was.

  “What are you doing here, Tessa?” His voice crackled with anger.

  “Looking for a friend. There she is!” Before I knew what happened, Tessa flicked her hand at his face and white powder burst from her palms.

  “Argh! What the fuck, Tessa!” The brooding stranger let go of me as the hallway was veiled with the dust Tessa cast. I stood there frozen, not knowing what to do when Tessa grabbed me by the wrist.

  “What are you waiting for? The sky to fall?” Adrenaline catapulted me into action. My feet lifted off the ground and I started running side to side with Tessa. I glanced back at the large silhouette of the hot stranger I almost gave myself to, hating the fact that I was still a virgin.

  “What kind of sorcery was that? I thought your powers would have been taken away?”

  “It’s not sorcery. It’s flour.”

  “Oh.”

  “Yeah, you gotta do it the conventional way.”

  “Right.”

  We slowed down once we got back into the familiarity in the hallway of our shared room. Tessa turned to glance at me. “So you’re out there adventuring without me. How could you, hypocrite?”

  “I wasn’t adventuring. I…I got stuff to do.”

  “What? Flirting with the big guy, Archangel Aliuth?”

  “Who?” I frowned.

  “The big guy who caught you. He’s Archangel Aliuth.”

  “Whoa.” I didn’t think I would ever have the chance of seeing an archangel though it was on my bucket list. Who would have thought I had ever crossed swords with him without me realizing it? No wonder he had such a godly glow about him. No wonder he looked so unattainable. “He sounds important.”

  Tessa scoffed. “That’s what he thought too.” She opened our room door for me to get in and shut it after herself. She lit up another incense right after she set foot in the room. “To be fair, Aliuth holds quite a powerful position in the academy. I call him a gatekeeper, he keeps everybody else in check. So you might want to get under his radar.”

  Oh god, I would love to get under his anything. “So he’s the highest power here?”

  “In the hierarchy of angels, he’s the second-highest. That’s still quite high up.”

  “Who’s the highest?”

  “Another asshole.” Tessa rolled her eyes. “Demigod Ehreus.”

  “Demigod?”

  “That one’s a son of a god. You better stay away from these assholes if you’re doing something hanky. For safety, you better have me with you.” Tessa winked at me, made me roll my eyes. Maybe Tessa was a good girl. Chaotic good girl.

  Aliuth

  They say even the most courageous of men had fears. The quote couldn’t be truer tonight. When the Divine Principal had assigned me for this position, I knew it wouldn’t be a breeze in the park. Why would he picked his strongest warrior for a mission that another angel of lower rank could handle?

  When I first set foot in the Fallen Angels Academy three centuries ago, there were two hundred residents. It was a hub for the Hearts of Gold to earn their statuses as angels and for angels to relearn their ways. Now you could barely see any.

  When you put so many Hearts of Gold in the same place, it was going t
o spell trouble. The Agents of Darkness were attracted to the campus like moths to fire. When the Hearts of Gold were turned into the dark side, they became Agents of Darkness who would serve the King of the Underworld, Andrajvah, becoming his most faithful servants and sex slaves.

  Once I stepped into the Divine Chamber, the water in the gold vessel in the middle of the dimly lit room rippled and formed a mirror where the image of the Divine Principal materialized.

  “Aliuth, my most faithful archangel, I hope you have come with good news,” said the Divine Principal.

  I felt fear sizzle through my veins for the first time. My lips trembled when I said, “No, I haven’t, sir.” I couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes. I couldn’t bear to see the disappointed look on the Divine Principal knowing I’d failed him. “Three more Hearts of Gold have been ripped from our hands.”

  A long silence stretched between us. Uneasiness pricked my skin. I shifted my feet and racked my brain. There must be something we could do. “We cannot just stand here and do nothing. Please, sir, let me go to the Underworld and fight Andrajvah for once and for all, it’s the only way. We have to do this before he would get too strong and dangerous.”

  “No, Aliuth, it’s not the time.”

  “Then, when is the time?” I clenched my fists and snarled through my gritted teeth. When I noticed the slight frown on the Divine Principal’s face, I backed down, lowering my voice. “I’m sorry, sir. I can’t do this. I can’t bear to see another Heart of Gold fall into the hands of Andrajvah and become an Angel of Darkness.”

  “I understand your concerns but this is an obvious trap,” said the Divine Principal. “Andrajvah’s ultimate goal is not to collect all the Hearts of Gold. They’ve no use for him. He wants your heart, the heart of the archangel.”

  “But I can’t do this. I can’t sit here and watch one by one the Hearts of Gold being taken away. It’s too disheartening.”

  “I know, all you need to do now is be patient. When time would come, we’ll be able to act against Andrajvah. But now, we’ll have to wait…”

  I nodded. The reflection of the Divine Principal disappeared from the water that splashed back into the vessel. I stared at the empty space where the apparition had been, lost in my thoughts. The Divine Principal might be right, but how could I stand there and do nothing while the people under my guardian had been harmed? I clenched my fists, contemplating going against him. I knew I had to take this action sooner or later. Waiting longer means more innocent Hearts of Gold would be sacrificed.

  I was lost in my thoughts when I saw a shadow flitted in the dark outside the window from my peripheral vision. My muscles went taut as a wave of unadulterated wrath rushed through my system. Adrenaline catapulted me into emergency mode.

  “Not another goddamn Agent of Darkness.” I had no idea what came over me. Like an arrow, I bolted out through the door and down the hallway. My heart shriveled at the thought of this hallway once bustled with Hearts of Gold and fallen angels who were sent here for rehab. Now the shrill empty hallway bounced off my footsteps, echoing in my ears.

  My heart thundered in my chest as my gaze darted in all directions. Where did he fucking go? I glanced out through the arched window, seeking for signs of an intruder when I heard a racket coming from the rooftop.

  Balling my fists, my muscles tensed up, ready for an action when my eyes were frozen on a beautiful creature bolting in my direction. I sucked in my breath, thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me but I knew my cock thought otherwise. All the blood rushed down to my sex when I saw the gorgeous angel running towards me.

  Her luscious black hair danced like ribbons behind her. The dim light of the hallway cast a lovely glow on her smooth baby skin. And she was wearing a sheer black lace bra. Her full perky breasts bounced excitedly on my chest. Her gorgeous green eyes darted in all directions but not meeting me. Did she see the intruder too?

  “Holy shit. Where did she come from?” My cock was growing in my pants, threatening to burst the seams when she crashed into me with a loud thump. A needy growl escaped my chest when her boobs pushed up deliciously against mine before she bounced off my chest. She was keeling backward when I grabbed her by the arm.

  She was so tiny, so weak. And my guardian angel instincts kicked in, wanting to protect her, keeping her under my wings…or my weight. I fought with every ounce of will left within me not to look at her breasts bobbing erratically inches away from my chest.

  “What are you doing here?” My voice sounded so raspy, betraying my growing erotic need. Sweat was forming a thin film on my forehead.

  The lovely little angel stared at me, frozen in shock. My sudden appearance might have frightened her. Or maybe it was my large build. Standing at six feet, I towered her like a giant and she was a dwarf. The feel of her feeble body against mine made my cock splinter with erotic thrill. My balls felt full and heavy. I couldn’t recall when the last time I had a release was. The stress of keeping the Agents of Darkness at bay from the campus had made me forget this vital part of being a male.

  And suddenly, this gorgeous brat appearing in front of me brought out the beast that had been snoozing deep within. No…this was wrong. Wrong. So sinful. I knew I had been straying further and further away from faith every day. I couldn’t do this. I hated myself more at this point. I couldn’t do the one thing I was assigned for and now I was getting all hard for this beautiful stranger.

  With a groan, I let her go and looked into the empty hallway, trying to gather my thoughts. I wanted to focus on the mission but the intrusive thoughts of how firm her boobs might feel against my palms…how wet and tight her pussy was…were whirling in my head, making my cock harder.

  I had to protect her at all costs. It wasn’t about her…it was my duty. Or was it?

  “Who are you?”

  I reached out and helped her get off the ground. Her skin was so smooth against me. “Who are you?” her voice came out in a sweet velvety purr, making me yearn to her hear groan and call out my name with those sinfully sensuous plump lips.

  “I asked first.”

  “Lamora.”

  “Lamora.” My blood sizzled through my veins. Lamora. God, her name was so damn sexy. My breath was caught in my chest. “You must be new around here. It’s not a good enough excuse to break the curfew. I shall take you to the court for judgment.”

  It would break my heart to see her punished before the court, but it was better than seeing her being taken away by an Agent of Darkness and become one of them. Lamora writhed, trying to get off my iron grip. Oh god, I would love to see her writhe under my weight while I claimed her. Her ass was packed under the tight denim shorts that I wanted to rip open and see how wet she was for me.

  “Get your hand off me, asshole. If it’s over the curfew then why the fuck are you loitering around here?”

  This was a feisty one. I would enjoy taking her in my own hands and punishing her myself for her sassiness. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Lamora. What are you going to do now?”

  My eyes widened when she somersaulted, breaking free from me. I looked at her in awe, she was amused.

  “Don’t you fuck with me, whoever fuck you are.”

  “You've got a big mouth for someone who’s been caught breaking the rules. Wait until you’re on your knees…oh fuck, you’re going to look so damn hot when you’re kneeling in front of me.”

  Her face blushed. Her breath caught in her throat. Damn, I could tell from her face how much she wanted to be dominated by me. “You’re not going anywhere.” A needy growl ripped from my throat as I grabbed onto her hair. She let out a sensual groan, sending a wave of lust through me. Her face was bright red as she tried to push me away…She looked like she was pushing me away but her hand was dancing on my chest, feeling how firm my muscles were.

  “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I grabbed her by the jaw and took the chance to look at how hot she was.

  “Wha
t are you gonna do?” My cock was erect in full length right now, poking against my fly, protesting for a release. At this point, I was debating to throw her against the wall or do her on the ground. Blazing heat rushed through my veins. “You’ve no idea what you’re getting yourself into, Lamora. If I were you, I would–”

  A dull pain burst on my back, sending a wave of anger shooting through me. Turning around, my eyes fell on Tessa. She was standing there with a pan she had hit me with. “What are you doing here, Tessa?”

  “Looking for a friend. There she is!” A burst of white powder exploded in my eyes, burning my lungs. I coughed and spluttered while waved my arms in the air, trying to clear the view. When I regained vision, my little angel had disappeared along with the naughty brat, Tessa.
