Talia I can't believe this. Thail wants a kiss in exchange for opening a portal? Why? Well, I do know why. He must think the kiss will somehow change my mind about having his babies, but it won't. It's way too early to be thinking about that. I might not even want my future to be with a demon! Even though he is ridiculously attractive... But looks aren't everything! He is like... Super tall, and the tail? That is definitely the weirdest part about him. "Okay, Wonderboy. I accept, even though I doubt your portal will send me back to my world." And if it does, I might never see him again. I don't tell him this information, though. Thail might change his mind about opening a portal if it means his beloved mate will leave him. I step toward him, and Thail stands up to his full height. Much bigger than me, and he seems amused by it. It kind of makes me nervous. Thail seems more intimidating now that I know what he wants—me. He saunters over to me, head tilted. Still, his face is so f
Talia After Thail has pleasured me more than once, the demon is eating to gather energy while I'm leaning my back against the cave wall. "So, about that portal?" I ask Thail while he is busy digging his teeth into a raw fish. It's gross, but I understand he isn't human and prefers eating uncooked food. "What about it?" Thail looks over at me from his place on the floor. He is sitting cross-legged, and a faint smile plays over his lips. "Well..." I anxiously look him over. He doesn't strike me as a liar. "You didn't lie about being able to help me home, right?" "What?" Thail looks almost offended and frowns. "Why would I lie to my own mate?" I shrug. "I don't know." "I didn't lie. I can help you get back home, but... Sooner or later, you will need to return to this world." I arch an eyebrow. Is Thail trying to trick me? "Why?" His glowing eyes rake me up and down. "Your mate is a demon. Therefore, you don't belong in your world but in mine. Staying in your world for too long wi
Talia"No, you can't come to dinner even if my granny invited you!"Thail frowns down at me.I feel silly trying to prevent him from leaving my room. My palms push against his abs, but it's not like I'm moving him anywhere. He dramatically towers above me. We both know he could easily get past me, but he sits down on the bed again out of respect.But he doesn't look happy.Thail crosses his arms over his chest. "I want to learn what humans eat for dinner, and your granny invited me.""She would freak out if she saw you!" I whisper-yell at him and gesture at his whole being. "Your kind doesn't exist in this world, and you can't be seen by anyone. If bad people saw you, they would capture you and take you to experiment on.""I don't know what that means, but that was your granny. She can't be a bad person. She is part of your family!""You still can't meet her, or she will suffer from a heart attack!""Why would she get a heart attack?""Because you're huge and intimidating!"Thail winc
ThailI've gathered flowers in a wide range of colors today. I plucked them from the mountaintop, and now I'm dropping them onto the cave floor. It's time to enchant them.My lips move, and magic travel to my fingertips. Soon these flowers will never wither, and I will decorate the cave walls with them, so my dear mate will find it cozy here.I spread my wings, letting my magic seep out from my skin. I focus hard and close my eyes, chanting the same verse repeatedly. These flowers won't wither. They won't!My determination flows, and once I'm done, I open my eyes—only to hear someone clapping their hands behind me."Good work on that spell, son. Are they for your mother's grave? You have gathered a lot of them."I turn around and lift my head. My father is standing at the entrance of the cave. He is much taller than me and wearing a feathered cloak. There are also some feathers in his long, black hair."Father..." I bow my head because he is the chief of my tribe. It doesn't matter th
TaliaIt's been three days since I last saw Thail, and the mate bond is trying to kill me. When Thail said I wouldn't be able to stay in my world for long, I didn't know what he meant, but now I do. I'm not meant to be separated from Thail. I'm horny all the goddamn time. My body yearns for my mate, and Thail is on my mind twenty-four-seven. It annoys the crap out of me because I'm trying to live my life, but it's wearing me out. Going without touching, inhaling, and being with him is exhausting, yet I'm doing it. I'm trying to prove him wrong. I'm determined to keep on surviving without him, but it's exhausting. I woke up two hours ago, and my body already feels weak. I'm lucky Sally and Victoria haven't noticed. We are eating breakfast at The Coffee Bean, and they are happily chatting. "Victoria, did you take notes at the latest seminar?" Sally asks over her frappe straw. Liquid sugar is her drug."Oh, I did!" Victoria rustles in her bag. She is sitting beside me and happily fi
TaliaAfter studying with Sally and Victoria, I'm exhausted. I kick off my shoes in the hallway. There is a heap of shoes because of my two chaotic sisters, but I won't sort their boots today. Nope.Instead, I choose to ignore it and take off my clothes. Laughter is coming from inside the living room, which is surprising. My two sisters are with my mom at an author convention in another town. I'm a bit salty that I have college. My mom and sisters are staying over at some luxurious hotel and everything. As a struggling romance author, my mom rarely makes much money, but my mom's new friend is paying for everything. I wonder if that friend is a male? She hasn't dated since dad died..."Oh, do you want more cookies?" My granny asks someone inside the living room, which is odd. Since when does she invite people over for cookies?I lift an eyebrow and stalk inside the house. The air smells like freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. It's my granny's specialty. I could go for a cookie my
ThailPretending to be a gentleman is hard. I've summoned appropriate clothes by looking at a fashion magazine since nothing in the human realm would fit me. Humans are all dwarfs to me, but to stay with Talia longer, I'm wearing clothes to hide the fact that I'm a beast.Because even if I can act in a gentle and civilized way, there is no denying the fact that I'm a demon. Right now, I'm using most of my magic to fight my arousal around my mate.It's hard when my mate is so beautiful. Talia's brown hair is shiny and falls around her delicate shoulders like a mane. Her cheeks are round, her face heart-shaped, and her eyes are a rich, seductive hazel. She is a dream come true. My head is filled with scenarios of her taking my steely length. I want to mark her and make her mine forever. Deliver her pleasure to her wit's end, and have her writhing underneath me as I fuck her while sucking on her hardened human nipples.I really have a thing for Talia's breasts. Demons don't have those
Talia When I enter through the portal, I notice Thail's cave looks different from the last time I saw it. Flowers coat the walls—beautiful ones that glow in the dark—it makes my heart squeeze. "Did you decorate your cave for me?" Thail hands me a smile. "Yes, and don't worry. The flowers will stop glowing if you ask them to. I enchanted them. It was my mom's special magic to enchant things. I inherited that gift." "Oh," I admire the flowers, stepping close enough to touch one glowing in a beautiful blue. "But that isn't your only magic, right?" "No, I'm also a summoner like my dad. I can summon portals, items, anything in exchange for energy..." his eyes grow warmer when I face him, and he grins. "Being around you gives me more energy." The whole concept of magic is new to me. Thail being basically the demon version of Harry Potter is frightening, yet I keep a smile on my face. "I see..." "Mmm," Thail walks over to one of his knitted baskets, opens it, and takes out a fuzzy f
