“Jesus. This house is huge on the inside. I don’t know what kind of demon, voodoo magic you all use, but it’s impressive. I especially like the kitchen and the living room.” Her gaze is curious.
“Thank Adonis and Amelia for that,” Dax quips.
She’s wearing a red long-sleeve shirt and black jeans that hug her perfect figure. Her long auburn hair hangs in loose waves just under those perky tits of hers.Gods almighty, she is perfect.
With a graceful motion, she tucks her hair behind her ears. “Can I talk to you guys?” she inquires softly. Her full red lips captivate me, I almost didn’t hear what she said.
“Of course you can, sunshine,” Killian replies as he strides over to her, pressing a tender kiss on her forehead.
With a light-heartedness that draws us in, she glides toward me and Dax, Killian trailing closely by her side.
“The floor is yours, little dove,” Dax encourages, his grin playful as he gently takes her arm and spins her into hisembrace. Their laughter mingles in the air like an enchanting melody.
The sound of her laughter makes my cock harden.
Her eyes meet mine. Her smile fades, and she clears her throat. “Ok, um…” Her eyes look me up and down, and I confidently stand in front of her.
Sweat drips down my bare chest, and my shorts hang low. Her eyes widen when she sees how erect I am for her.
I laugh and flash my teeth, “Something you like here, Dani?”
Dax and Killian stand next to me now. We all stare at her, shirtless, sweating, and with hunger in our gazes.
The need to take. The need to possess is strong. I have no doubt in my mind she is my mate. But admitting that out loud is difficult because I know I can’t love her like Dax and Killian can. I want to, but it’s not possible.
“I, uh… fuck, you are all so distracting. I have to go to work!” she blurts out. “I got called in. I know I can leave now… because of my marks… but um, I…” she stumbles on her words.
I take a step closer to her and lean down so my face is parallel with hers. “Spit it out,Dani.”
She looks me dead in the eyes and says, “I like to swallow.” I nearly start choking.
Dax chuckles.
“That you do,” Killian says wickedly and Dani blushes.
The smell of her arousal fills the air. I know I’m not the only one who can tell.
Dani gives a victory smile and continues, “Well, I’m leaving. After work, I’m meeting with Jules and Carter. And there isn’t anything any of you can do to stop me. Also, I would like to sleep in my own bed tonight.” She straightens up her posture like she just won.
“Alright.” I simply say.
“Al-alright?” She questions me.
“That’s what I said. Alright. Go. Remember what I said. You can’t tell Julia or this… Carter… that we are demons or anything that has happened to you while you were here. If you do, there will be—”
She cuts me off, “Consequences. Yes, I know. I won’t say anything about you guys being demons. Sheesh, do you ever chill out?”
I don’t answer her. I just raise my eyebrows at her and smirk. Knowing how she feels when I do that.
Dani goes to turn around and leave, but I grab her arm and pull her into my chest. Her heartbeat pounds against mine as I push my hard cock against her stomach.
I pull the necklace from my pocket and dangle it in front of her face. “Put this on. It will protect you,” I say, my voice steady but filled with urgency. “My rune is burned on the back of it. Since you don’t bare it on your skin, this will have to do.”
Dani slowly reaches up, tentatively taking the necklace from my hand and places it over her neck. “I guess this will do for now.” My heart clenches around her words. She doesn’t realize my symbol won’t ever appear on her skin.
As the necklace falls across her chest, I can’t help but hope that this small token carries the promise of protection and desire I so desperately want her to feel.
“Thank you.” Her green eyes search mine. I step back and sit on the bench, letting her go.
