He isn’t saying something. I can smell it coming off of him.
“Where, exactly?” I ask.
“Ashfer.”
I’m having to think of which state that is. I think Alameris. Suddenly, my butterfly says in a patronizing tone, “That is four states north! That will take us days… How can you be certain?”
“It’s where they said they were going to be taking her.”
I’m pretty sure my heart stops. “What?!”
“Coastline. Ashfer, Pier 3.”
“Who said that?” I want to hold onto this hope that is exactly where I’m going to find my little demon. However, it just feels far too easy.
“Based on her appearance.” I want to understand his demeanor. It’s nonchalant, as if none of this surprises him. “Xeraphine.”
I swallow roughly. “What?”
Chapter 11
Xeraphine
Seven days later
The light coming in from under the door makes me groan.
It wouldn’t be so bad if my head weren’t at the foot of the bed, right where the sun’s rays are blistering through the window. Then again, I can blame Kai for fucking me so hard and making it impossible to even turn my body to lie properly.
Asshole.
Rubbing my eyes, I shift slightly, the blankets wrapping around me like clouds. Why they’re so thick, I’ll never understand. It’s not like he gets cold. It’s the same damn concept as having a big, expensive kitchen: pointless.
I’m about to give up on searching for him under the blankets when fingers lace between mine and yank me roughly.
His bare skin against mine immediately sparks my Amoro, flooding me with serotonin.
No, I can’t go another round. I actually need a break or so help me, I won’t get out of bed, and I can’t spend another day lying here. I need to go to the gym or something, to get out of this apartment, or I’m going to go insane. More so than I already am.
“Good morning, little demon.” Kai hoists my arm over his head and hooks it around his neck, his free hand lacing through my hair that needs a good combing. “You were making some delicious noises. It was like you were summoning the monster to ravage you?—”
“Kai, fuck Belial himself, I need a break from you.” I’m unsure of where to shift. Can’t go down because I can feel his cock twitching against my thigh, andif I move up, he’ll just latch right onto my nipple.
“Remember when you said you didn’t need a safe word with me?” he purrs, and drags me down to him, my feigned attempt at pushing away goes completely disregarded as his lips meet my neck. “Your cunt is dripping on my cock…”
A groan escapes my throat, heavy with indecision. Fuck, he is so hot, and yes, I want him.
His tongue flattens against my skin, running across the tender part where he has been nibbling and sucking over the past couple weeks since returning from the incident with Daigo. It’s the place I know he wants to claim me, and although I heal, all of the attention there has made it sensitive.
Nibbling up my neck, he draws closer to my lips. Bumps line my skin, the zing of lust pouring from him straight into my pores, making me crave everything he is offering, even if I know I need a break. My Amoro is crying out for him, and I’d be an idiot to say I wasn’t doing the same.
“You’re panting now…” he comments with a smirk.
“Fuck you, stop calling me out.” I bring my free hand to his neck and grip it. “Kai, we can’t stay in bed all day.”
Wait, yes we can. What am I saying? All I want is to be right here. Why am I in such a hurry to get away from him?
I…
