Page 30 of Love Summoned

My shadows snap the waistband of her pants against her skin, making her mouth drop open. “In the name of research, we should test this. Don’t you think?”

“Test what, exactly?” Her legs squirm, squeezing my hips where I hover between her parted thighs.

“What happens if we give in.” I press a kiss to her collarbone. “As Edith said, don’t fear the unknown. Let things happen as they should.”

Sera hooks a leg around mine, holstering me to her with a sassy little smirk. “You saying you wanna kiss me, demon?” She arches up into me, testing the hold I have on her hands, her lips ghosting over mine. “I should be vanquishing you not welcoming you into my bed.”

“Are you scared, my witch? Worried you might like what I do to you?”

“Terrified.” Her voice drops to a whisper. “What are you going to do to me?”

“For starters, you’re going to lie here,” I say, my shadows moving over her hips until I reach her knees and pin them against the mattress, splaying her open. “And I’m going to show you what a good demon I can be.”

“I think this might be one occasion where I enjoy being proven wrong.”

“One?” I ask, taking her bottom lip between my teeth while my shadows creep up her thighs and under her pajamas to ghost over the thin fabric of her underwear. A beautiful whimper falls from her lips as I tease over her needy pussy. “Only amateurs stop at one.”

Our mouths crash together, the hunger we’ve denied for too long shattering, resulting in a kiss that demands to make up for lost time. Sera fights against my hold until I give in, releasing my fingers from hers so she can cup my face and deepen her mouth over mine.

She moans with greed as her hips roll, seeking more friction. I have never known want like this. Passion. Desperation.

I wrap my arms around her, and roll over, sitting up so I can have her straddling my lap.

My cock was already hard the second I placed her body beneath me, but with Sera writhing on top of me, our kisses turning feral, I’m fucking weeping for her.

She rolls her hips, grinding her hot, needy pussy against me. What I wouldn’t give to feel how wet and tight she is on my cock, but not yet. Not until we figure out what the curse means, and if everything in me that wants her is because of that or something else.

I pull away from her lips, kissing up her jaw until I reach the side of her neck, just below her ear, and suck. Sera shivers before grinding her body against mine, her thighs squeezing where she straddles me and her fingers gripping my hair.

I do it again, grinning when her body has the same response. My hold tightens, fingers digging into the soft skin of her hips. I don’t think anything in this moment could convince me to let her go. She feels too good here.

Demons are notoriously self-minded. We keep others close only for how it benefits us, alliances over friendship. There must be something wrong with me since the moment I met Jett and Lennox, they were my brothers. We’re not made to fit the mold, we’re made to break, challenge, and ruin it, but with Sera, she sees all the fragmented pieces and tries to put them back together again. The only thing I want to do is let her. I want to keep these feelings.

I take my time undoing the buttons of her shirt, starting at the top and running my fingers over the inches of smooth skin. She shivers when I ease the sleeves over her shoulders and down her arms. I think my heart skips a beat when pink, pebbled nipples come into view.

She’s beautiful. Strong and soft in all the right places.

The room is bursting with thick threads of golden light, the brightest they’ve ever been since this magic found us.

Being summoned by Catori earlier tonight pissed me off. I’ve always been a dutiful soldier, never questioning orders. He tells us there’s a threat; we take them out. He tells us to gather lost souls; we drag them straight to Hell for his judgment.

I’ve never disobeyed orders, even if I struggled to complete them. Sera disrupted that. She’s making it hard to see the lines I’ve lived within for the last hundred years. I came here mad. Enraged. Looking for something to blame for the vortex of indecision I’m drowning in. But fuck, when I touch her, all that disappears. I know exactly what I want. I can’t deny it when this connection hums to life whenever we’re near.

“Should we keep going?” I ask her, mesmerized by the way the light reflects in her eyes.

Sera nods. I lean forward, closing my lips over her breast and flick my tongue over her peaked nipple. Sera moans and lifts her hips then sits back down, grinding against my cock.

I flip us until her back hits the mattress again, my mouth still sucking and nipping at her breast. My shadows squeeze the other as my hands frantically search for the waistband of her pants and pull. Sera helps, dragging her legs out until she’s lying beneath me, naked and begging.

My gaze holds hers as I ease two fingers inside her wet, pulsing pussy. She flutters around me, gasping as she welcomes me in. I’m in no hurry as I thrust my fingers in and out, while my tongue flicks over her nipple.

She throws her head into her pillow, her neck bared to the ceiling as she pants and groans. I want more of those sounds. I tug her nipple gently between my teeth, then make a path with my lips, kissing her breast, her ribs, below her belly button, until my shoulders are nestled between her thighs.

Her pussy looks so good stretched around my fingers. I blow on her sensitive skin and she clenches.

“Nix.” Sera groans out my name like a plea, and it’s never sounded so sweet.

My mouth suctions over her clit as my fingers thrust in and out.
