Hope in Love (16 page)

“Come for me, Yael.” Ram grunted as his balls tightened and
he strained to release his seed inside her. She let go at the same time. He
felt her squeeze and push harder against him as her juices flowed around his
cock.

“Oh yes,” he groaned as he filled her with his cum. “So
good.”

Ram pulled out of her and turned her to lie in the bed. He
fell in and stretched out beside her. His arm draped over her shoulder and
pulled her tight against him.

“I’ll keep you here always.” Hope brimmed in his heart.

Michael sat at his desk and watched Ram and Yael walk
through the red lilies. They had popped up everywhere. A smile pulled at his
mouth.

“What are you thinking?” Decima asked from the comfortable
chair across the room.

“I’m so glad to see him happy.” Sometimes Michael still
wondered why he felt so much more for Ramiel than the other angels. But he
never dwelled on it long.

“The world is a different place. It is necessary for us to
change to keep pace with man and the other creatures we are responsible for
bringing into being.” Michael’s chest grew heavy. The task ahead would be an
arduous one. His control of the Father’s chosen ones had always been tenuous at
best.

A red ball bounced from under the desk and landed by his
feet.

“Jayel, come from under there.” The toddler crawled out and
climbed up on his lap. Her copper curls fell around her face in disarray.

“She looks like her mother,” Decima said, a smile evident in
her voice.

“You’ll be a handful,” Michael ruffled his goddaughter’s
head and the toddler squealed in delight. “She has her father’s blue eyes. She
is mankind’s only hope.”
