Inner demons cause heartache and chaos.

Daniel hurried to obey and Samael carried Raphael into their bedroom. Daniel shut the door on the rest of the apartment while Samael lay Raphael on the bed. As he straightened up to undress, Raphael clung to him. "No, please, I need you Sam.”

Daniel joined them and held Raphael close. "I've got him, Sam. You undress first then hold him while I undress.”

Samael frowned but nodded and watched with concern as Raphael transferred his death grip from him to Daniel. "What's wrong, Raph?”

Daniel answered him. "He's in shock, Samael. Whatever happened with Uriel was not good.”

Samael stripped off his clothes and climbed onto the bed to hold Raphael. The Air Archangel clung to him. "I need you both, Sam. You and Daniel, I need to feel your love.”

Samael would be the first to admit that comforting others was not one of his greatest skills, but he loved Raphael from the bottom of his heart and he was pretty sure Daniel felt the same way about the Air Archangel. "We're both here and we both love you, Raph.”

Daniel climbed into the bed behind Raphael and held him close. "Yes, very much indeed,” he agreed.

Raphael squirmed against them both, trying to get out of his clothes without letting go of either of them. "I need you to show me. You have to prove it to me.”

Samael became more and more concerned but he knew they would get no more out of their lover until he'd been reassured. He did the only thing he could under the circumstances and helped Raphael divest himself of clothing. Skin pressed against skin and Samael responded to his lover's need.

"Take me, Samael, make me feel real again,” Raphael murmured.

Samael exchanged a look with Daniel and reached for the lube on the night stand. He liberally coated a finger and pressed it against Raphael's pucker. The Air Archangel literally impaled himself on it. "I don't need all this, Sam, just take me.”

Samael sighed irritably. "You're far too tense for that, Raph. I'd only hurt you and I'm not prepared to do that.”

Raphael heaved an aggrieved sigh of his own before pushing and pulling at Daniel until the newest Archangel's cock was near his lips. He took it into his mouth in one long swallow as if trying to prove Samael wrong.
