Their minds collided with such force she’d have staggered if she’d been standing, and she came hard even as their psyches fused together—two spheres intersecting rather than becoming one mind. And then, that easily, Maddox’s psychic presence pulsed inside her, alive with his dominance and power and strength, bolstering her in a way she couldn’t explain. It even had a “taste.” Bourbon and rich chocolate dessert. All of it enlivened and stabilized her demon.
Realizing his cock was still hard inside her, that he hadn’t yet come, she opened her eyes. His entity stared back at her, its black gaze glinting with intent, and she sensed another royal fuck coming on. Awesome.
“Feeling pretty smug now that you’ve got what you want?” she asked, because her own demon sure was.
“I already had what I wanted; you were already mine,” it replied, squeezing her breast. “Now it is merely official.”
She winced as it roughly twisted her nipple. “You like to hurt me, don’t you?”
The demon’s mouth curved. “Only in a good way.” And oh, then it started fucking her like it hated her. Which did hurt in a good way. Every thrust was a little too rough and went a little too deep, but she didn’t want it to stop.
She jumped as it snapped a hand around her upper throat and pressed its thumb at the hollow of her right ear. She ground her teeth as the flesh there began to burn, and she realized it was leaving the anchor mark on her.
Sheer satisfaction glittered in that black gaze. “Do it.”
Knowing what it wanted, she returned the favor and left her own mark on the hollow beneath its right ear—an infinity symbol that she knew would have a slight personal difference but, right then, she couldn’t properly see what it was. And while her orgasm was creeping closer and closer, it was kind of hard to care about anything else.
Still brutally jackhammering into her, the demon slipped a hand between them. “Tonight, I will be the one who comes inside you.” It parted her folds, exposing her clit to its thrusts, and oh God oh God oh God she was gonna—
It sank its teeth into her neck. The hot stab of fire shot straight to her core and sent her tumbling into the mother of all orgasms. The demon drank and drank as her release all but destroyed her. She felt its teeth unlock from her neck just as it powered harder and harder into her pussy before, finally, it jammed its cock deep. She felt its hot come splash her inner walls.
She sagged against its chest, gasping for air, limp as a damn noodle.
A hand stroked her hair with a gentleness that told her Maddox was back in control. “You okay?” he asked.
She hummed, too fucking out of it to talk. Hell, she didn’t even have the energy to lift her eyelids. She felt him press his palm to hers, and then his power rushed to her neck, healing the bite.
“You taste far too good.” He pulled out of her and then carried her to the bed, where he carefully set her down on the mattress. “You’ll sleep here.”
She only hummed again. It was mere seconds later that sleep dragged her under.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
His anchor sighed and stared up at the ceiling. “I guess I should have seen this coming.”
Lying on his side next to her, Maddox doodled circles around her navel piercing with his finger. “You would be safer here, Raini.”
“I’m perfectly safe at the penthouse. No halo-bearer could bypass Knox’s security measures.”
Probably not. It was the “probably” part that bothered Maddox and his demon. They needed to be as certain as possible that she was perfectly safe. His entity would prefer to therefore keep her at its side at all times, but that wasn’t feasible.
“The security measures only surround the penthouse floor,” he reminded her. “They could snatch you right out of the reception area before anyone had a moment to react, just as they took you from the studio. That was ballsy, but it was also effective. They may think to try it again.”
She must have sensed where he was going with this, because her eyes narrowed. “Don’t ask me to take time off work.”
“Your girls will ask the same of you. They’re as concerned as I am. They will need the same peace of mind that I need.”
“I don’t think the angels will try to take me again. Their plan didn’t work out so well last time, and they’ll expect me to be on my guard. Besides, you pretty much laid down a gauntlet. The archangel won’t send more minions, he’ll come for you himself.”
“Maybe. But it’s very rare that archangels leave their realm. It usually only happens if they choose to fall. If an ant challenged me, I’d laugh and go on about my day. That’s all we are to them. Insects. Creatures beneath their notice. The only reason he’s concerning himself with me and my kind is that he believes it’ll please the higher-ups, who absolutely despise that a breed of demon possesses holy blood.”
