The Embrace of The Devil

She woke up wet and sticky between her legs.

She immediately got out of bed — not caring about her being naked. When she stood up, she felt a sharp pain between her legs. Did she have a dirty dream last night?

But if it was just a dream she wouldn't feel pain between her thighs.

Did she touch herself during her dirty dream?

‘Oh God’ she screamed. She immediately covered her reddened cheeks — she was embarrassed.

But what if someone broke into her house and touched her while she was sleeping?

But that was so ridiculous.

She biting her lip with her arms folded across her chest, she glanced at the digital clock on her side desk — 6 am.

She sighed softly, it was still too early to get out of bed on the weekend, but she didn't want to go back to sleep either. So she just stared at her messy bed, thinking.

The sound of the bell ringing at the door made her startled, she was rooted to where she was standing — there was no way she get out like this, so she chose to ignore it and ran to the bathroom.

A few minutes passed and when she came out of the bathroom the bell still sounded — it bothered her.

Ugh, can't he have a quiet day on a day off?

After wearing casual clothes, she immediately walked out of the room to open the door.

She immediately opened the doorknob and saw Jason who was smiling broadly while holding a black box and a paperbag. Either it's just her feelings or Jason is going to her too much — he's been protective these days.

"You've been waiting long?" she asked — feeling bad for ignoring Jason since six.

"No, I just arrived ten minutes ago" he replied

So who rang the doorbell at six this morning?

"Then what brings you here? oh and is that for me?” Aurielle pointed at what Jason was holding

"This is indeed for you — Aunty Belle cheese bread and cheese pasta, won't you let me in?"

Aurielle rolled her eyes and rushed inside, letting Jason follow her behind to the living room.

"Close the door" she ordered "Tea or coffee?"

"I want warm milk, from the source" hearing that Aurielle hissed sarcastically and threw a chair cushion at him.

"I'm joking, I'm joking, oh my god you're so fierce" he said with a chuckle "anything is fine, beautiful"

After that, Aurielle rushed to the kitchen, made Earl Gray tea for the two of them and brought some plates for the bread and pasta that Jason had brought.

"I saw the Castiel's car when I came here, I saw it when I was about to get in here ⸻ looks like he’s about to get out of this residential area" Jason said as she sat down.

"Really? why are you seeing him so often lately?"

"Maybe it's because I see you often that I see Castiel a lot?"

"That's so ridiculous"

They are both silent.

"By the way, I found this black box on your doorstep. There's no sender's name, just your name pinned to the red ribbon"

"I thought it was from you"

"No, I wouldn't bother wrapping a present like this. You know me" she giggled as she chewed on her pasta. Cheese pasta was her favorite, but she lost her appetite after Jason brought up Castiel.

She was lost in her own thoughts. Castiel couldn't be the one who rang the bell this morning, that's impossible right?

“Aurie” He called her name many times, but she still didn't answer. So he shouted at her, making Aurielle gasped in surprise.

"Your phone is ringing" he said and she immediately went to her room.

'Devil' is the name on the screen of her cellphone, that man called her again and she immediately picked it up

"You let another man into your house and I didn't?"

"huh?"

"Should I punish you?" his voice was dark "you want me to ruin you?"

His voice on the other side sounded scary in her ears "I'm sorry, don't—"

"You need to be taught a lesson, darling" he chuckled darkly

His domineering aura frightened her — she shivered and subconsciously hung up the phone.

But something inside her was awakened by him, something dark —which she had never known existed.

Lust and desire.

To run to him, seeking pleasure that will be given to her without asking.

She's going crazy for wanting him to destroy her.

She wanted to be ruined, a little more than she wanted to be loved.

The thought of him going to ruin her terrified her, but also makes her turned on.

Her phone rings once again, she gasped as she lost in her own thoughts again. Her best friend name is on the screen.

"Val?"

"Guess who's back? me!"

"Oh my god, when are you coming back?"

"This morning" she replied excitedly "let's go to the club tonight!"

"Which club?"

"Apollyon" — an exclusive club that is very famous in her country, only certain circles can enter it.

"Val, we can't just go in there easily"

"Relax, you don't have to think about that. The important thing is that we're going to have fun tonight!" she shouted with joy "I'll pick you up at 9! See you, gorgeous" she hung up

Aurielle walked back into the living room, finding Jason talking to Adrian who had just arrived.

"Who called you?" ask Adrian

"My best friend, Valerie"

"Didn't I tell you not to get close to that girl?" Jason told her "she's wild, she could be a problem for you one day"

"I'm sorry, Aurie. He’s on period, so he's been more sensitive lately," said Adrian playfully.

"I am serious!" Jason shouted

"Oh come on, you have to trust me. I can take care of myself"

"Okay, but if something goes wrong I'll do something!" threaten Jason

"Yes, daddy" she said playfully, inviting Adrian to laugh — ignoring Jason's blushing cheeks.

The three of them spend their time watching movies, eating, playing games and sleeping. Aurielle didn't tell them both that she and Valerie were going to a nightclub. Because it was clear they would forbid him to go and would scold him.

Her saturday night with Valerie is going wild. She had always been curious about the nightclub — but she never tried to go there because access to it was very difficult. She has to be a special person to get in there easily.

Jason and Adrian left at seven. So she had two hours to prepare, before Valerie picked her up. She was wearing minimalist backless black gown with spaghetti straps and a high cut slit. She let her hair down in curls, she put on light make up and she's done.

“Rielle! I’m here!”

Aurielle heard Valerie’s screaming and the sound of her car honking. She immediately took her bag and her cell phone—stepped out her house to meet her. Valerie use her black Mercedes, she has a big smile when she sees her coming out. "You look so gorgeous tonight"

"so are you" and they laughed together

“Ready for our wild night?" Val asked her "Of course, bestie!"

Apollyon nightclub is in the heart of the city, the club is inside the Lucifer tower. Lucifer tower stands proudly in the middle of the city, among the other towers — It is all black, looks mysterious. Even so, the tower looks very luxurious.

She was curious, how the famous Apollyon nightclub looked.

They entered the Apollo area, the front door was guarded by two burly men and grim faces. After giving two membership cards they were allowed in. She forgot to ask how her best friend got this Apollyon membership card. Maybe she borrowed from her lover's?

"How did you get that card, Val?" she asked curiously

"I borrowed from my boyfriend's and his friend's card, as long as someone guarantees we're here, we'll be allowed in, honey"

One of the rules to enter Apollyon is to have or hold someone else's membership card, because with that they will be guaranteed and under the protection of the cardholder. In other words ⸻ the owner of the card will be responsible for the person who brings the card into Apollyon.

Complicated, but maybe that's how rich people are. They don't want to lose.

Her jaw dropped as the two of them walked into a dark alley that was in all black and a touch of red.

Beautiful. This is beyond her expectation.

All the interiors inside the Lucifer tower are very luxurious, including Apollyon.

Her jaw dropped even more as she entered. Apollyon is fantastic, almost all the interior is black, black marble — looks mysterious and elegant. "Close your jaw, honey. Let's have some fun" Val said excitedly

The two of them sat down at the bartender's table, and were greeted with friendly smiles. "First time here?"

"Yes, what a pity" Aurie said with a big smile

"I’m Alex, a bartender here. Everyone who comes here for the first time is just like you — they are amazed by the our simple yet elegant interior club" he said kindly "but they will be more surprised by what is served here. So what do you two want, angel?"

"Whiskey" Aurielle said after she introduced herself and the bartender's mouth fell open "For someone who just came here, you are quite brave, sweetie" he said and she just replied with a faint smile

"Are you sure you want whiskey?" ask Val

"I won't get drunk so easily, I won't act like a bum here" she replied giggling — amused and Val ordered Tequila

She didn’t know how many glasses she drank, Valerie was gone again and dancing wildly on the dance floor — leaving her who’s a little drunk.

She had been dancing on the dance floor and sat back down when her throat felt dry. She daydreams as she stares at a group of people dancing wildly on the dance floor.

Until someone tapped her on the shoulder and she looked back, to find the bartender — Alex, placing a fruit puch in front of her. Aurielle's brows furrowed "I didn't order this, Alex" and he replied with a smile "My boss ordered me to give this to you, it's a shame if you come here and don't drink this" he said

Boss — the owner of this place?

"Who is your boss?" she asked curiously

"He said if you're curious you can just look for him yourself" he reply with a polite smile and immediately went to serve someone else.

Her eyes flashed wildly, looking for anyone who was watching her or looked at her.

Then she noticed a pair of blue eyes staring at her with a smirk on his face. Blue eyes, black hair and an annoying grin — that was Castiel. He was the last person she wanted to see in this place. Wait, if Castiel was the one who gave her fruit punch, that mean he's Alex's boss — that’s also mean he owns this place.

Damn!

How can she not think that this luxurious club belongs to the Berkshire.

‘Stupid Aurie’ she cursed herself

She could see Castiel along with his elite group sitting in the VIP seats. He dressed in all-black clothes — he looked hot, though. His blue eyes stared at her intently, piercing deep into her soul. She shivered, the feeling she felt at the sight of him was familiar. Her eyes widened, maybe the mysterious man who gave her gift, threatened and who wanted destroy her was Castiel.

It could be him!

Aurielle panicked and frightened, she took her eyes off him and tried to find Valerie on the dance floor. Fuck, she didn't find Val anywhere.

She had to go home, now. Her arm moved to grab her bag and walked, she doesn't care about her drink that she hasn't touched — she half running outside. She didn't care if she had to go home by taxi, she had to go home now — she can texted Val later. She cursed her stupidity, she didn't tell Adrian and Jason she was going to a nightclub and now she can't call them for help.

She had to go through a long, dark hallway before exiting Apollyon. This hallway was very quiet — no one was passing. She ran a little to reach the tall twin doors, but before she managed to get out, a pair arms suddenly hugged her from behind.

"Where are you going, kitten?" his raspy voice enter her ears "aren't you having fun? Then why you look in a hurry"

"Let go of me, Castiel" she hissed

"Oh darling, like I said, once you meet me you can never run away from me"

"What do you want?"

"You"

Aurielle struggled, begging to be released. But Castiel tightened his embrace. "be a good girl for me, will you”

“No” she says sharply

“I’m a selfish, cruel and demanding person. But for now I'll let this slide, but I won't give you any mercy next time — so careful, darling.” He whispered in her ears and turned her body to him

“You don’t own me, Castiel.”

“That’s where you were wrong” He said as he stroked her cheeks “I will always own you. Even if you run or hide, I will chase you and will always be able to find you. I will destroy everything you love to lure you out and once I found you, I will lock you up in my manor — you can't meet anyone, you will have no one, you wouldn’t need anyone but me to survive.” he kissed her roughly and she felt her core twitch.
