Thank you for reading, lovelies! More coming tomorrow ❤
PATREA. "Let me stay with you and be a part of your daily routine for three weeks - which means I will live in your house and stay in your bedroom." My eyes widened before a soft chuckle escaped my lips. "Is this some kind of joke?" "I don’t joke, Patrea." The seriousness on his face immediately wiped the smile off my face. "You’re serious." "I don’t make deals as some kind of joke." He looked annoyed. "I’m not sure why you think this will work. I just got off from the underworld. For the last six months, I’ve been trying my best not to think of that part of my life, but I wasn’t succeeding. Everywhere I turn, it reminds me of that place. Even plants remind me of that place. I always compare." I couldn’t stop blabbing. "There are no plants as green as these in the underworld. And it’s colder here, the sounds are from cars, and not fireballs being thrown at each other... and the creatures here appear to be less frightening. I can’t stop seeing the difference.'' "Enough…" Lucius
LUCIUS. "I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath." I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be uncomfortable already. I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having a landslide tonight. "And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk." "I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk." "Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too relaxed for a king?" "Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that you put to work on your behalf." "So you have hundreds of trusted men?" "Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead because he trusted me." "And tell me why I should trust you after you said t
PATREA. "I don’t think I’ve seen you in your demon form. What do you look like?" "For someone who wants to forget the underworld, it’s weird you want to know more about my demon side." He stated this without opening his eyes, his face still void of any emotions. Lucien was handsome, and so was Guillermo, but I think Lucius, despite the constant presence of a scowl on his face, was far better looking than them. "This human face you have, did you choose that, or do you automatically have that like shifters? They have human form and wolf form, but they can’t choose how they look." "Aren’t you a curious little witch?" His eyes snapped open, and he tilted his head in my direction, making our gazes meet. And his eyes just hypnotized me. It might be some charm that he had that made me relax around him. I dropped my gaze, and it landed on his chest, which was very prominent on the tight shirt he had on him. I could see his erect nipple. Spirits! I felt like a cougar at the moment. Bu
PATREA. Lucius was already gone when I came out of the bathroom, which I was thankful for as I didn’t bring any clothes inside. I was hoping he would not pop back while I was still naked. But regardless of whether I knew he could come back anytime soon, I took my time walking around in just my underwear. I had no idea what I was aiming for. After a long time, I had fixed myself and was already ready to head down for breakfast, yet he was still nowhere, and I didn’t know if I was relieved or disappointed. I was already gearing up to agree with his request, but maybe I should wait until he asks for it again. Maybe something came up in the underworld that needed his attention. When I finally made it out of my bedroom, I saw Althea stepping out of her room at the same time, and happiness was evident on her face. "Wow! You looked so fresh, Patrea!" She exclaimed. "How was your night?" "I didn’t have any nightmares. Not even any dreams at all. I slept the whole six hours without any
LUCIUS. "Are you not going to answer me?" Lucy asked, her brows furrowing as she stood beside her mate’s seat while I lounged on the couch inside their office. Two days after I left their home, I was back again. "I went here to visit Luther, not to be interrogated." I hissed, annoyed to be looking at them instead of my nephew. "We want to know what your plans are." It was Stone. "So you offered three weeks to spend with humans? Are you sure you can manage?" Lucy asked again. "What the fuck is so hard about spending time here? And correction, three weeks with Patrea not with all humans on this fucking planet." Stone chuckled until Lucy rolled her eyes at him. "Why do you worry? What’s so hard about that?" "A lot! Unlike shifters, demons have power that just comes out when they’re furious. First, you can’t have your eyes blazing red all the time. And then the hissing has to stop." "But Stone is allowed to growl every five minutes?" "He does when he’s with shifters, not with hu
PATREA. I had no idea why I felt so nervous in his presence. I’d been with him alone numerous times in the past, so this nervousness was unwarranted. But then, three weeks with him would be a long time. I was just probably nervous that if he snapped and unleashed hell, I would be the first casualty. I didn’t flee the demon world only to be killed by a demon in my own realm. "I know you don’t eat, but I do. So I will be cooking food, and I expect you to eat with me as I’ve been eating alone for many decades…" "Okay," he answered as he picked up a fork and forked some meat from the steamed dish into his. "I can do that. What else." "I have work three times a week. So that’s Monday to Wednesday, from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon. During those times, you can do what you want." "Like visiting you at the library?" "Or visit the underworld. You can’t be at the library all the time with me. I need to work." "I have a fascination for reading." "No, you don’t." I chuck
PATREA."Do you think that if I promise to be gentle, you will let me kiss you?"My eyes widened before my forehead creased. "Aren’t we going too fast?""If six months is too fast, then yeah, I’m going too fast." He spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion before he pressed his fingers to his closed eyes."You’re upset.""I am. I’m a demon, Patrea. I don’t have the patience of a saint or even of a human."And yet he was trying to be patient with me. He was trying not to hiss or snap at me right now. "I don’t even know how to kiss anymore. But don’t offer to do all the kissing for me, as that’s what I’ve been doing for decades — staying still while someone abuses my lips." I chuckled even though the memory hurt. I was trying to lighten the mood because I didn’t want to upset him more. "The closest thing to a real kiss I have is the one I gave you on your cheek at the cave. That’s it."He snapped his eyes open and tilted his head down to look at me, his eyebrows hiking up. "How about we
PATREA. Lucius’ hand slid lower until his fingers touched my folds and it made me clamp my legs together. He didn’t withdraw, and he didn’t ask me to open them. He just stayed there, cupping my pussy while his lips kept brushing against my cheek and my jawline. I had no idea how long I had my legs closed, but I finally decided to part them. Slowly, until I had my legs wide open. "I’m going to finger your pussy, but you can tell me to stop anytime…" "Aren’t we going too fast?" "Do you want me to stop?" "No. Yes. No. Oh, Lucius! I don’t know!" "Relax, lean your head on my shoulder." And I did just as he told me to do. Soon after, his hand began to massage my whole pussy until a few fingers were pressing and rubbing against my folds. "Mmmmmh…" I tried to stifle my whimper, but my throat kept betraying me. It didn’t slip my gaze the way his mouth twitched into a smile at the sound of my moans. His fingers slipped in between my folds, and he began sliding them from one side to
