The following story contains some explicit sexual material. Though not blatantly pornographic, reader discretion is advised. Were this a movie, it would probably gain an R rating. This story was written as an exploration of character and while it might be considered erotic, the intent was to delve into the minds of the characters rather than to sexually arouse the reader. If you are looking for that you should look elsewhere. However, if you are offended by sexuality, you should look somewhere else as well. � This story is Copyright 2000, Krystoff Vagabond.

Words� issued by a god, but, unfortunately, not by her� own. Many� tales were told by man. Man, favored above all of� the Lord's� other creatures. Many tales, and she knew them� all. Years,� as� the men called it. Years� had she studied� their ways,� their cultures, and their stories. To be among� them. To� be� one of them. Favored by her Lord. Mastering her� own destiny.� To� hope. To dream. To feel. To live� a� life.� An actual� life.� Breathing in air and experiences,� treasuring each because it could be her last. Loving every moment. � � Moments.� The term had no meaning for her. Time� is� an invention� of� man, one she had yet to come� to� understand. Time� was� a� means to an end. A way of segregating� reality into� easily digestible chunks. Better her way she believed. Better to perceive each an every experience at once. She had not� studied� for� years. She had always� studied.� She� had always� enjoyed it, and when the would come, as� it� already had� and will again, she would study still the ways� of� men and take delight whilst she wroth in the pain from the bolts of his hand. � � � His� breath was warm and her skin tingled as it� rolled down� her� neck� and� over� her shoulders.� Tension� in� her stomach. Her very insides pulling her toward him as her mind tried� to� pull� her away. Something she had never� felt�� a cloudiness� in� her mind. Her mind could not� focus� and� if breathing� had� been� a� necessity for� her,� she� knew� she wouldn't� be� able to. "No" she told him. Refusing� him� not because� she� wanted to because she didn't. Not� because� it would� do� any good, because she knew it wouldn't. It� would end� as it had. It would end as it did. It would end� as� it would.� "No" she told him because that is what she did.� The word hung in the air as he reached around her waist and slid his hand across her stomach. "No" the word floated away from her� lips� and� with it her protests as her silky� feathered wings folded down to her sides. � � His� skin was hard. Rough. More like stone, but in some way� the most pleasing thing she would ever touch. His very touch� was warm as though thousands of torches burned within his� body.� As� the scaly red fingers of one� hand� traveled along her hip and up her side raising her arm high above her as he cupped her breast. Sharp black claws on the other hand combed� through the golden tresses of her hair� and� trailed down her cheek. She closed her eyes� as the inevitable came. She� reached� behind� her, tiny fingers trailing� along� the slender� horns,� snaking to their base and grasping� at� his skull. At long last the words escaped her lips. � � "Yes" � � And� he� was inside of her. Her mind racing.� Her� body flowing. Feeling, as do the humans. And yet flying, like the angel� she� was. Two bodies entwined throughout eternity.� A moment. Forever. A pulsing in her flesh. In her heart. In� a soul� eternal yet already damned. Her halo glowed� brightest it� ever had and pulsed raced as her heart tried its hardest to burst from the chamber of her chest. Her wings spread and her� soul sang from her lips. This instant. This moment. All that she had ever been was enraptured in this single act� as sin� itself coursed from between her legs and throughout her body.� And yet if this moment did exist then it was the� one she� had always felt and the one she had always yearned for. Pleasure. Ecstasy. Emotional. Physical. Spiritual. Timeless. It couldn't end and it didn't but it already has. � � � Cold. Another feeling, heretofore unknown. Ice shooting through her veins. Yet light blinding her. Fear, a word� the men� use and another she had not understood. Tied so closely to� time. Fear is the anticipation of something yet to come. Fear is the anxiety of what may be. There can be no fear� if there is no next, and yet fear is what she knew. � � "I'm� sorry."� She� would� plead� as� she� stood� her judgement. No answer would come. She knew as he did that she was� not.� Knowing that her moment came because it must� and knowing� that� it was and could not not be. All� times.� All emotions� conflicting. Wonderment. Pleasure.� Fear.� All� at once.� All at all. Studying the exploits of the children� of god.� A� god� who's law she had broken and� that� event� had resulted� in� greater pleasure in her life than� any� other. Fear� of� the pain that was soon to come. Fear of� the� pain that already had. Pain that was now. � � � She� felt� as though she would explode as the bolt� hit her� back.� Pain.� One� emotion,� all� others� replaced. Electricity.� A� lightning� bolt� casting� her� from� heaven falling towards the earth. A trail of smoke followed her and she� coughed as she realized her wings were on fire. Coughed because� she� couldn't breathe.� She plummeted like� a� star falling through the sky but it all stopped when she hit� the ground. � � Darkness engulfed the alley save for that cast out from a� single beam shining down on her from the heavens and from the� light cast by the flames engulfing what was left of her wings,� the only remnant of the celestial creature that� she had� once been. And with her wings her angelic grace� burned away.� Her� halo� faded a final time� and� there� she� laid. Mortal. Naked. Alone in an alley awaiting what might come to pass. � � -Krystoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ || https://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/kvagabond/www� � � ||� � kvagabond@mailcity.com || ||� "Booze, sex, prayer� --� whatever gets you through the night."� || ------------------------------------------------------------------------FallFromGrace
