Chain of Lust (Spirit World 2)

“I guess I owe you that.” Jean-Luc sighed. He told her everything. About the political strain in the Pit. Power struggles between the demons. His charge, Siegfried, and his regret that Maddie had been used as a pawn.
When Jean-Luc finished his story, a wave of relief washed over Maddie. So, this wasn’t about a jealous ex-girlfriend wanting to get even after all. Maddie let out a weak laugh. “Damn. I thought I’d taken somebody else’s boyfriend.”
Jean-Luc’s lush brows arched. “Boyfriend?”
Maddie told her what Jezebel had blabbed earlier.
“Boyfriend?” Jean-Luc repeated in disbelief. “Why would I want a demon as my lover?”
“Well, I don’t know.” She snorted. “I thought you had a thing for the leathery scaly chick.”
Jean-Luc studied her face. A triumphant smile hovered at the corner of his lips. “You’re jealous.”
“I’m not,” she retorted hotly.
“Yes, you are.” His grinned from ear to ear. “You love me.”
Maddie rolled her eyes. “Oh, brother.”
Jean-Luc smiled. “You do love me,” he pressed.
She gave him a look.
“You love me, admit it.”
Humph.
“Admit it.”
“Fine. I love you.”
“Sorry, I can’t hear you.”
“I love you.”
“Mmm. One more time.”
“I love you. I love you. Happy now?”
“I’ve never been happier. I love you too, Madeline. More than you’ll ever know.” He lowered his head and kissed her until she was out of breath. He groped her ass and squeezed her. “Let’s go home, shall we? We should celebrate.”
Maddie grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck. She liked where this was going. “What are you thinking?”
“I don’t know. Maybe dinner, hot bath, then you could show me how much you love me?”
“Deal.”
