91 Chapter 92: The Next Shaman

When Emy was out of the operating room, Devin used his ability to heal her. Reed did nothing but watch Devin while he did that. He was looking at Emy, who was on her side because of the wound on her back was on her back. Emy went to the operating room several times because of him and Devin, who always saved her. He had pain in his chest at that moment.

Devin said, “She’s fine.”

Reed looked at Emy’s wound, and it was fine. They were sure that the hospital wouldn’t let Emy out, so Devin spread the smoke in the air to make people forget where they came from. Then they got into the car. Devin was driving, and Jasmin was next to him. Reed and Emy were in the back seat. Reed didn’t send Jasmin back to her apartment; he sent her to his house.

Reed carefully laid Emy on the bed. Reed sat at the edge of the bed and stared at Emy. His finger touched Emy’s cheek, which woke her up.

“Reed?”

“How’re you feeling?”

Emy suddenly remembered what had happened. She sat on the bed to look at the wound on her back. Reed had a smile. He got up, took the small desk mirror, and took off some of Emy’s clothes. She then looked at her wound through the phone she was holding.

“No scars?” Emy asked with surprise.

“That was Devin’s doing. You know I can’t heal even the smallest cut.” Reed said, then put the desk mirror on top of the table.”

.....

“You’re jealous...” Emy said this and then pinched Reed’s nose.

It surprised Reed at what Emy did. It was the first time Emy had done that to him, so it surprised him. Emy saw Reed’s frown, and she laughed a little.

“Uh, what’s with that look, huh?”

“Did you just pinch my nose?”

Emy nodded. “Y-yes.”

“Why?”

“What’s up?”

“Why did you do that?”

Emy scowled. “Is it forbidden?”

“Didn’t you know what it meant?”

Emy shook her head no. “So it has meaning?”

“Okay, in my world, a gentle tap on the head means ‘I forgive you.’ If you pinch my ear, it means I did something wrong. It means I want to kiss you if I caress your chin with my finger. If I tap your shoulder, it means everything will be fine.”

“Okay. What does “pinching your nose” mean?”

“You crave intimacy....”

“Oh,” she was surprised by what Reed said. “Well, I don’t know if it has a meaning. I just want to pinch your nose because you are cute. That’s it.”

Reed took a deep breath. “I am sorry for what happened. I can’t keep you safe...”

Emy thought Reed’s sincere apology wasn’t necessary. She couldn’t believe Reed had apologized to her. A proud, powerful demon apologized to a low-level human.

“Why do you say you’re sorry? Nobody is to blame for what happened.” Emy said. “Whoa, what happened?”

Reed didn’t answer. Instead, he touched Emy’s cheek, and suddenly, Emy saw in her mind something like a TV. When she saw that the accident had released and buried the old shaman’s Katana deep in her chest, her eyes grew wide.

“I’ll take it if you scold me or even curse me. But I have no intention of hurting the old shaman. You care about Avery, so I care about her, too.”

“I saw it,” Emy said. “It was an accident, and you are not to blame.”

“Do you think Avery thinks the same way?”

Emy could not answer. Avery was hurt and lost a loved one, so she knows how Avery will react to what happened. Emy touched Reed’s cheeks on both sides.

“It isn’t your fault, all right?” Emy said. “I believe you.”

Reed gave a small smile. It shocked Reed when Emy hugged him.

Emy got up early the next day. Reed was still asleep when she opened her eyes. She looked through the curtain on the glass door and saw that the outside was still dark. Reed had one hand around her waist, and his other arm was under her. Reed was facing her from his side. She looked at Reed’s scarred face for a long time. She touched each scar on Reed’s face with her finger.

Emy was a little surprised when Reed opened his eyes. “Good morning, you handsome...” Emy smiled at him.

He asked, “Are you staring at me while I sleep?”

“Yes, I didn’t know you fell asleep. I thought you had been awake all night.” Emy said.

“Do you fantasize about me while I am sleeping?”

Emy didn’t hesitate when she said, “Yeah.”

Reed had a smile. “I’ve been lusting after you since last night...”

“Kiss me, Reed,” she whispered. Emy spoke quietly.

Emy moved her face closer to Reed when Reed didn’t move. She kissed him on the lips. Reed teased Emy. He did nothing when Emy kissed him. He just let Emy do what she wants to. When Emy bit his lip, he had a small gap between his lips. He wasn’t expecting that. Emy claimed his lips with the essence of sensuality. The kiss did last more than a minute. They couldn’t get enough of the exquisite kiss they shared. The kiss that Emy gave me was demanding and intense.

“Oh, Wifey..” Reed moaned as Emy’s tongue took over his mouth. Her flavor inundated his senses, and he found himself unable to resist it. His grip on Emy’s hips was tight, and he pulled her close to him so that Emy’s body could be pressed against him.

Reed tightened his grip on Emy’s waist, and in an instant, he was on top of her.

“Reed...” Emy groaned in his mouth. Emy felt a hard object hit her lower stomach. He was hot and huge.

Reed bit Emy’s neck. The sensation of his hot breath on her neck aroused yearning throughout her whole body.

Emy moaned, “Ahh,” when Reed’s hand went inside her sleeping clothes. She felt a familiar tingling sensation at the top of her breasts. Her breathing got deeper. Reed’s hand slowly made its way up to her underwear. She felt her nipples stiffen even more.

“I want to touch you with my fingers, Wifey..” Reed whispered into her ear, and she felt the rush of her luscious fluids between her thighs. Her mouth opened. When she opened her eyes, she saw Reed looking right at her in the eyes. It was plain to see the hunger in his eyes.

Emy heated. Reed used the black smoke to take off Emy’s shorts and pants, and then his fingers played.

“Oh, Reed...” Emy moaning and panting. Reed’s finger sped faster as he pumped it in and out of Emy. Reed watched as Emy genuinely loved what he was doing.

It’s almost as if Emy will lose her mind from the feeling that Reed’s deft finger is giving. After a few seconds, it appeared her strength had run out as she reached the apex of her ascent. Her body shook with a delicious moan. Because of the overwhelming joy that she was experiencing, she became lightheaded and weak.

It even surprised Emy when Reed swallowed the finger he used to touch her.

“Hmmm, delicious..” Reed said, smiling.

“It should be me making you happy...” Emy said.

“Dominating the king only happens once every red moon. I will make you happy, Wifey....” Reed said this, and then he kissed Emy’s forehead.

Emy kept staring at Reed. She was waiting for him to bury his hot, hard, and huge thickness inside her, but Reed didn’t do it. He was about to stand up when Emy touched Reed’s neck.

“What?” Reed asked.

“Aren’t you going to bury that thing in me?” Emy spoke up.

Reed was happy. “Do you want?”

Emy chewed on her lower lip. “Yes...”

Reed stood up after saying, “Later.”

“What? What do you mean, it’s late?” Emy asked, unclear.

“I’d like to try something different...” Reed said that Emy was then pulled.

“Take a shower, we are leaving...” Reed said that he slapped Emy’s behind as he nuzzled her toward the bathroom.

“Oh, my gosh!” Emy’s stunned reaction.

Reed smiled when Emy went into the bathroom. He looked up human sex on his phone because he couldn’t sleep. It surprised him to find that the human world has a sex website. In some videos, men and women do sexual things in front of the camera. The videos were called “porn.” Reed watched, and he just laughed at the people in the video as if he were watching a comedy show. Then he watched a video that caught his eye.

It surprised Emy to see Jasmine at their house. She wasn’t expecting to see her friend at their house. Jasmin was eating breakfast with her father and brothers.

“Hey, Jasmin! Here you are!” Emy said, and then she hugged Jasmin.

“Yes. Sir Reed did not send me home anymore. I’ll be staying here for sleepovers on the weekend. There is even free food.” Jasmin said, laughing.

“C’mon, let’s eat...” Eddie said.

All three of them sat down. Reed sat next to Emy, who was sitting next to Jasmin.

Meanwhile, Avery stands by the coffins of her mother and grandmother. And because nobody knew what happened, everyone thought Avery’s grandmother died of a heart attack. She told everyone that her grandmother could not handle the great sadness of losing her mother.

Avery thought carefully about what the woman had said. It was just an accident. She knew that and saw that, but her grandmother’s death was not what she expected. If they hadn’t gone to their house to show sympathy, everything wouldn’t have happened. But she knows she is important to Emy, Jasmin, and Reed. Reed, her boss, was not considered her an employee. Instead, he was waiting for her to come back.

Reed was a demon, and she saw it, but it differed from the demons her grandmother had fought. She remembered what the woman had said. Emy is the only one who can change Reed, and she is also the only one who can cause chaos in the world of people.

Avery took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, the color had changed. In the mirror, she can see a reflection of herself.
