LUCY. I was worried about where my brother was. After I spoke with Patrea, I told Adan I would visit Lucius in Kalmerus, and Adan being Adan, he didn’t let me go alone. It was easier to travel back and forth to the underworld now that Adan had requested a portal just behind the packhouse that would lead us directly to the outside of the tower. Lucius didn’t even hesitate to provide the portal. His only condition was to make sure Luther, my son, would be introduced to Kalmerus as early as possible. Unfortunately, Lucius was not in Kalmerus, and his righthand demon had no idea where he went, but he said Lucius had been popping in and out of Kalmerus in the last two cycles. "He’s here," Adan told me while nuzzling his nose into my neck. I was sitting on his lap at his office while I waited for him to finish signing the papers that he wanted to send to Blade’s pack by tomorrow. Adan never wanted to build alliances with any packs, as our pack thrived even without them. But Blade was s

LUCIUS. I held Patrea in my arms for a long time. No one of us was talking, and we just held each other. I was hoping it was enough because I had no idea how to comfort her. How could I when my father was the cause of every suffering and negative memory she had? "I need to get moving or I will be late for work." She spoke in a soft voice before she squirmed and tried to get out of my hold. I held her tighter, chuckling as I replied. "You are allowed to miss a day’s work. Just stay here with me." She pried my fingers off her body one by one until I let her go as she shook her head. "I have important things to finish at the library. And just two more days, and I’m all yours again." She had her hands on my chest with her upper body hovering over me, giving me a beautiful view of her breasts hanging almost in my face, and I couldn’t help but smile widely as I repeated her words. "Two days… and you’re mine." "Yes, two days. All yours." She leaned forward and pecked my lips, which I

LUCIUS. I was lost for words and just watched as she walked away from me. She didn’t even take the flowers with her. I peered through the shelves and saw her return to the middle counter, where she began shuffling books and papers without saying anything. The blonde girl began to ask questions, but she simply nodded her head without responding. Was she mad? I didn’t do anything. I didn’t fuck Nyneve? I didn’t even spend time alone with her. So what the fuck was happening? I cleared my throat and walked straight ahead to where she was, taking the flowers with me. The blonde girl smiled before she moved away from the counter and helped a teenager. "Patrea…" I placed the roses in front of her, which she took without looking at me. "Hmmm…" "Say something?" "Like what?" "Anything. Are you mad?" "No." "Why are you quiet?" "I just need time to gather my thoughts." "Do you want me to leave?" My lips pursed into a thin line. If she asked me to leave, I would lose my cool. She

PATREA.I was a complete mess. His fingers and tongue were doing magic and spells inside my pussy so that I was quivering with every stroke.He withdrew his tongue and let his fingers fuck me hard and deep while his mouth focused on my clit, sucking and lapping on it. "I just found my favorite flavor. Fuck, Patrea, you taste so fucking good. I can eat you the whole day…""Please… do that!" I moaned, my mouth parted as I kept my legs from shaking."Of course, whatever my queen wants, the king shall obey. The whole day it is." He licked his lips before he pulled my body around and made me kneel on the couch, my hands leaning on the back cushion while my ass was hiked up. He created a mirror out of the wall, and it gave me a view of what was happening behind me. I could see him as he prepared to eat my pussy from behind. He was making sure I saw that it was him who was touching and sucking me.His fingers entered my pussy as he slid in and out slowly before I saw him spit on my ass hol

PATREA. I was already awake, but I kept myself from opening my eyes. I was lying on my side, facing in his direction. I knew he was probably staring at me, like he’d been doing these past two mornings, and also because his breath was fanning against my skin. Last night with Lucius was the best night I’ve ever had. He fucked my pussy twice, and I knew he wanted more, but everything was still so new to me that I couldn’t keep up with him. And I was glad he never pushed or asked for more. Instead, he held me close to him the whole night. If I didn’t know he was a demon, I would never think he was one. I didn’t have much experience with men, but I could say he was far better than all the men I encountered in my life, including Adora’s father, who was married but led me to believe he was not. Lucius was just the perfect man, and even if I didn’t want to, he was slowly taking up space in my life, and it hadn’t even been a week since he came to stay with me. And I knew that once this
