“I lied to Archangel Rafael when I know lying to be a sin.” She blinked up at me, pink tongue swiping out over her bottom lip so that it glistened. Her anger did nothing but spur me on, my hand pumped a slow rhythm up and down my shaft beneath her fiery glower.

I reached out with my free hand and gripped her chin between my fingers in a tight pinch that held even when she tried to jerk away. My thumb ran over her lip, pressing hard enough to split the delicate skin. My dick jutted forward when blood pooled beneath my touch. “Beg for your forgiveness, Theodora. Beg for me to forgive you.”

She swallowed, her eyes narrowed into slits as I worked myself. “I am sorry for my sinning ways. Please forgive me.”

I pressed harder, my breath catching at the hiss that left her lungs, more precum dribbled from my aching tip. “Beg.”

Her hands clenched over her thighs, fists tight as she snapped her teeth together in frustration. “God, because you are so good, forgive me.” My palm tightened at her words as my hand quickened on my shaft. “Forgive me for my sinning ways. Forgive me for not heeding my lessons.” My balls tightened; my breath shuttered. “Forgive me and I shall try not to sin again.” My dick jerked as I came, ejaculate spraying the inside of my robes as I panted down at Theodora, at the hatred bleeding from her pores as my hand dropped from her face.

My voice was loud in the room, a little breathy as I spoke, “May our Lord and God, Jesus Christ, through the grace and mercies of his love for all of us, forgive you of your transgressions. And I, a loyal Archangel, by His power given to me, forgive and absolve you from all your sins, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

“May I stand now?” she asked, her black gaze unwavering.

“You may.” I watched as she rose, my feathers ruffling around her. “Let our meeting be a reminder to never lie again, Theodora.”

Her jaw ticked as she clenched her teeth but she remained silent.

“And also remember that relationships between guards and students, sexual or personal, are prohibited.” I swallowed and watched her face as I spoke, “Including the new student.”

Her voice was hallowed. “Understood, Archangel Rafael.”

I watched her for a moment more before I withdrew my wings, tucking them behind my back. “Good. You’re dismissed.”

My boots scuffed loudly on the floors as I made my way back to my room. After finishing my duties for the night, I wanted nothing more than to retreat to my room and wash the stank of Rafael from my skin. By the skin of my teeth I had been able to keep my temper under control and got off fairly easy, but I had barely managed it. The split on my lip ached, but I did my best to ignore it. When I had finally pushed open the door to my room, I felt my shoulders sag with exhaustion as I kicked it closed with the heel of my boot.

I quickly stripped as I made my way to my ensuite bathroom, the water cold as I stepped in before it was ready. I took a deep, shuddered breath as I let the water wash away the day. Wash away my duties. Wash away Rafael. My thoughts had momentarily lingered on the angel, onEsther. But I shucked those down the drain as well.

No matter how alluring she had been, how intriguing, I couldn’t let myself get distracted. I only had one year left at this school and I wasn’t going to mess it up because I was curious. When the water finally shut off and I wrapped myself in a towel, I repeated the same mantra I’d been saying since the beginning of the school year.

One more year and I’m free.
