“I see.” Looking at the walls that have hanging bookshelves that house photos, I hum softly. “I had a moment to look at the pictures throughout the cabin. You have a beautiful family.”
He pulls off his shirt, kicks off his shoes, and closes the short distance between us. The creaking of the wooden floor beneath us blends seamlessly with the crackling of the fire.
“Thank you, little demon.” His hand is quickly behind my head, lacing through my hair and dragging me into a kiss.
My fingers brush against his chest, all the way up to his neck where I hold him tight to me. With his free hand, he lifts my shirt to grab at my waist. His thumb caresses just below my breast, and I murmur a groan into his mouth that opens as our heads turn.
“Kai,” I gasp as his fingers tighten in my hair.
“I am going to replace everything anyone has done to you, with me.” He pulls my head back and I look between his eyes in surprise. “I am going to consume your entire mind, body, and soul, Xera, and the only pain I want you in from this day forward is from my pleasure.”
Swallowing, I nod. “I want that.” I know Kai won’t take who I am away from me, but will instead make me a better version of the psychotic bitch I’ve painstakingly put together. If I had only seen that sooner, maybe neither of us would have suffered these past few months.
“You are getting it whether you wanted it or not,” he croons against my lips. “What else do you want, baby?”
My stomach tightens as I breathlessly reply, “Your hands, lips, and cock all over me.”
The moment he grabs my shirt, I cease his hand by taking his wrist into mine. “First… I have something… to show you.”
I can’t believe how much I enjoy his smile.
“I’ll show some patience for you, my love.”
Chapter 31
Kairhyse
I’m convinced I’ve always been drawn to psychopaths, but never like this. Xeraphine could tear me apart at any moment, and somehow, that only intensifies my attraction to her, far more than it should. It’s not death that excites me—it’s her strength. The way she talks about obliterating everyone who’s ever harmed her? That just does it for me.
“You can get naked,” she says while slipping from my grip and disappearing back into the walk-in closet.
“If you insist,” I croon. Even if she can’t see it, an unrestrained smile comes over me.
As I undo my belt and slide off my pants, I hear the soft rustle of her clothes falling to the floor and fabric brushing against her skin. I’m not entirely sure what she’s doing—it sounds like she’s either changing or simply getting undressed.
“Ready?” Her voice flows through the cracked door.
“Mhmm. Nice and hard for my little demon.”
A soft snort-laugh escapes her, and I can’t help but chuckle in response. ‘Cute’ doesn’t really describe my girl, but that? Gods, that was so damn adorable.
I move to stand near the fire, leaning against the stone structure, just enough to the side so she’ll have to step out of the closet to face me.
She’s mentioned more than once that she doesn’t think or operate in the usual ways. Words like “relationship” and “dating” don’t seem to register in her mind, and I get it. I’ll adapt to her comfort level, letting her set the pace. I’ll break down her walls over time, the same way I do to her beautiful cunt; after all, we have eternity together.
That being said, the moment she steps into my view, I swear I mightactuallydie. Our eternity together may end up being far shorter than Ithought.
The lingerie clinging to her absolutely perfect body leaves my mouth hanging open in stunned silence. She’s wearing a black lace bra with matching underwear, so sheer I can see her nipples and the landing strip leading straight to my undoing. A flared piece of fabric cuts across her waist, hooking elegantly to the garters wrapped around her thighs.
My eyes wander, and I’m glad she just stands there without saying a word. Her hands tuck behind her back, which lift her perfectly curved breasts. Those pink nipples are at attention, and when I lick my lips, small bumps rise on her pale skin.
“You know…” She takes a step in my direction, her bare feet tapping against the wooden floor. “Your pecs twitch when you stare long enough at me.”
“So does my cock.” The moment she’s within arm’s reach, I rise to my full height and grab her by the throat, pulling her firmly against me. “You look absolutelyfuckingdelectable.”
She bites roughly on her bottom lip. “You haven’t seen the best part.”
“Do show, little demon.” Reluctantly, I release her neck, but I’m quickly glad I did. She turns slowly, giving me a full view, and I notice the delicate cutout in the back of her lace underwear. “Never took you as someone to spoil me.” Her tail is pulled through the diamond shaped opening, and it’s no longer just my mouth that’s drooling.
