She gawked. Thank it? Jesus, this fucker could be such a pain in her ass. “Thank you,” she said, a bite to her voice that earned her a gruff chuckle.
A soft kiss was pressed to the back of her shoulder—a gentle move that told her Maddox was back in control.
His hand delved into her hair and fisted tight. “Now I get to make you come.”
Sounded good to Raini. She expected him to start powering away, but his thrusts were soft and shallow and far too freaking slow. “Maddox … ”
“What is it, baby?”
“You damn well know what. I did everything your demon asked, and I expect—no, demand—to be rewarded for it.”
Maddox felt a smile tug at his mouth. “You demand it, do you?” He loved that. Loved how she boldly sassed him. Loved how greedy she could be.
“Yes, I do. No more teasing. I’m done with the teasing. Fuck me.”
He smoothly buried his cock balls-deep and swiveled his hips. “I say we make a new deal first.”
“A new one?”
“Hmm. There are several conditions.” He slowly reared back and then just as sluggishly drove his full length back into her pussy. “You must never leave me, you must never take off that ring, and you must never stop loving me. In return, I’ll make you those same promises. Do we have a deal?”
Without hesitation, she replied, “Yeah, deal.”
“That’s my girl.” Her hair still wrapped around his fist, Maddox pounded into her pussy. His thrusts were wild and violent and utterly unrestrained. Exactly what they both wanted and needed. “I’m going to keep fucking you so hard so often you’ll never remember a time when you weren’t taking my cock.” She wouldn’t remember how it felt to have another male inside her, only him.
He kept on slamming deep and rough, knowing it wouldn’t take long before he came—not after he’d eaten her out, watched her little show, and felt her explode around him not so long ago. Considering she’d already had an orgasm, he hadn’t expected another to build so fast, but it wasn’t long before her pussy began to tighten and flutter around him.
“That’s it, baby, come.” He snatched her head back, bit into her throat, and brought his hand down hard on her ass. Her inner muscles clamped around his dick as she came with a scream. Her blood in his mouth, he slammed into her again and again and again. Then he exploded.
When his brain switched back on, he blew out a breath. “Fuck, needed that.” He released her hair and soothingly stroked her scalp. “You good?”
She slumped to the bed, resting one cheek against the mattress. “Your demon is seriously arrogant and annoying at times.”
Maddox felt his mouth quirk. “I know. It gets off on messing with your pretty little head.” It liked to see her nervous, unsure, and out of her comfort zone, but never in a way where it would want her to be upset or afraid.
“I’ve noticed. You’re both dominant, control freaks.”
“Agreed.” He leaned down and pressed a kiss between her shoulder blades. “But you can handle us.”
“Hmm.”
He placed his palm to hers and pushed just enough power in her to heal the weeping bite on her throat. “You love me?”
“Of course. Always will.”
He let out a low hum of satisfaction. “That’s what I like to hear.”
“I like to hear it, too. Why am I not?”
Feeling his lips curve, Maddox nuzzled her nape. “Demanding, snarky little minx at times, aren’t you? It’s a good thing I love you.”
“How could you not when I’m this damn fabulous?”
“Hmm, fair point.” He pulled his softening cock out of her and then cleaned them both up. Settling on the bed beside her, he drew her close. “Did you enjoy the party?”
“I did. It was nice having everyone in the one space like that, even if half of them were robbing the place blind. I was kind of surprised that so many turned up.”
“By that, you mean you thought there would be several from your old lair who wouldn’t attend purely because of your ability to wield psychic hellfire,” he guessed.
“Yes. But aside from a few like Risa and Dwain’s parents, they all came, and they were all perfectly pleasant toward me.” She doodled circles on his chest with her fingertip. “Maybe they’re not so much bothered by what I can do now that I’m part of your lair.”
“Or maybe now that the shock has worn off and they’ve had time to think, they’ve realized they acted like assholes.”
“Hmm, maybe.”
“I noticed Demi didn’t attend.”
“Neither did Levi,” Raini said quickly, clearly not wanting to remain on the subject of her sister. “Harper said he’s found his anchor.”
“Yes, I heard her mention it to you. The sister of his ex, right?”
“Yup. Depending on how well he gets along with his ex, that may or may not prove to be a complicated situation. Whatever the case, I can’t see Levi walking away from his anchor. Not even to appease his ex.”
