It wasn't uncomfortable after, nor was it the same as before. After I cleaned his cum from my stomach and slipped into some new clothes, we returned to the couch in silence. I turned on the television, thankful that the television guide was what pulled back up instead of the website we had been watching before. I don't think I was ready to handle that so soon after what we had just done.The blanket of sexual tension between us only seemed to grow thicker until I could no longer focus on the show playing in front of us.I was wildly sore from his large size while he sat next to me hard as Hell, ready to go another round. It was obvious that when we got to that 'next time' that he promised, it wouldn't just be one and done. I had a feeling he was more of an all-night kind of demon. I wasn't even sure if I wanted tonight to be over so soon myself.I felt like I had just gotten a taste of him, and I was ready for the entrée.My fingers ran over the couch cushion next to me, feeling holes
Seraphina's P.O.V. Demetri was otherworldly in every sense of the word. He owned and possessed my body in ways that I couldn't have imagined before I let him have his way with me… and he did have his way with me. I was weak to his every demand and want. He wasn't lying when he had said that it was more than just an attraction, more than the bond. It felt separate from that. It was like I was tethered to him from the casting that brought him here. I could feel the yarn-like pull between us anytime we got too far away from one another. But, that was it. There were no emotions or feelings. Yet with every day that passed, I felt him more and more. Separate from the thread keeping us together was a primal need to fuck him until he couldn't remember the feel of any other before me. It was like a drug pumping through my veins, blurring all other thoughts and making it so I was only able to focus and think about him when he was near. It didn't help that he made me laugh, and I was startin
Seraphina's P.O.V. The revelation that one of the major women in my life growing up had killed my parents, sent me into a spiral. It wasn't until I threw my coffee cup at the wall and all of the cabinets in my kitchen flew open that I realized I needed to calm down. I still had no control over this new power that I was suddenly gifted with, but I had at least connected the fact that I didn't have them until I had stepped foot into the attic. It helped me understand that room was the heart of the house. It was what had lifted the block on my magic, and somewhere in there, it held the answers that I was looking for. So, I did what I had been doing for the past week. I went upstairs and locked myself in the mysterious room. Demetri did not seem happy that I had closed the door this time, but I needed to be alone. He was a distraction enough, and I didn't need to add the confusion brought on by last night into the mix. I felt the pull to him tighten like the string on a violin as he wa
Demetri was tense for the rest of the evening. I couldn't tell if he was on alert because he was waiting for a real threat to make itself known or if he was angry at me. It would be understandable if he was. I had yelled at him and had more than likely made him feel unwelcome.It took me a short bit to calm down, but once I did, I saw his point of view. That didn't mean that I agreed with his actions. But, how can I be mad at him for trying to keep me safe? I didn't tell him it was time for my weekly meal delivery, and I sure as hell didn't tell him that I had all of my visitors go to the side door since I was still unable to get myself to enter the foyer to use the front door after what I had witnessed in there.Those memories haunted me day in and out.It was understandable for someone who thought there was a threat to take action to defend themselves. If I died, he died too. That was what he had said, and anyone in that situation would take it seriously.Demetri stood alert by the
The darkness was all-consuming. Blood-curdling screams rang through the vast openness before fading away into the empty space around me. Goosebumps rose to the surface of my skin, and the little hairs on my body raised tall as if I were surrounded by static. It didn't matter where I turned or how much I squinted my eyes. I was trapped in the darkness. I knew I wasn't alone by the sounds of torture surrounding me, but I would rather be alone than be party to what they were doing. "Seraphina," My mother's voice whispered out softly. Yet, it seemed to be louder than the mind-piercing screams around me. "My girl." My head snapped around in an attempt to locate the source, but I could see nothing. "Mom?" I called out, hoping with everything in me that she was safe. "Mom, I'm right here!" The ground beneath my feet felt rough and jagged as it dug into the bare flesh. I could smell her perfume surrounding me, I could hear the even breathing of someone near me, but I could see nothing. "Y
I left Demetri in bed that morning and snuck downstairs to the living room with a steaming cup of over-sweetened coffee. Being in his arms after such a horrendous nightmare went from comforting to terrifying. How could I seek comfort from someone who ran a circle of Hell? He was a demon.Granted, one who was pulling my walls down brick by brick, but a Demon no less. Was it wrong of me to judge him based on the horror stories I've heard or seen in paranormal movies?They didn't paint a particularly trusting and happy picture. It was always hauntings and death.My head turned to the side, and I glanced at the doorway that lead to the front of the house. Eventually, I would need to get over my fear of that room. It wasn't like their bodies were still there, and all of the blood had been cleaned up. It was just an empty room now.But, perhaps it was why I had that nightmare. My therapist had pushed and pushed for me to go back to where I had found the bodies. She wanted me to confront my
Demetri's P.O.V. The wetness that coated my fingers as I slid up and down her folds was begging me to throw her on the couch and fuck her with my tongue until she couldn't breathe, but I had other plans. As she braced herself against me, my left hand moved up and across her chest to capture one of her perky breasts, massaging it before grabbing it tightly. I pinched her nipple between my fingers beneath the cotton of her top. She let out a gasp. Her hand shooting up to dig her fingers into my forearm but pressing me closer to her rather than pulling me away. It sent a jolt of satisfaction through me that she was enjoying my touch, that I knew what my girl liked. "Tell me what you're feeling," I demanded even though I could still sense her. The pain was still prominent but less so than the pleasure. "Good," She panted out as I continued to rub her clit in small but hard circles. She bent her knees pressing herself down against my hand harder than before. "It feels so good, but I ne
Demetri's P.O.V. If the silent treatment I received after was anything to go by, she was as mad at me as I was at her. How dare she call out His name while she was with me! I realized after, that the way I went about it was not the healthiest. It didn't change the hurt and anger I felt from what she did. It only made her mad too. I ran my hand over my face in irritation as I stared out the back window. This had to be the most defining moment thus far for our relationship. Having a little human impact me so deeply just confirm everything for me. She was meant to be my mate. She was strong, powerful, and beautiful. Her laughter made me feel warm and the conversations we had kept me engaged. She had everything a man, a demon, and a king could need. If something like that had happened before I met her, I would have killed the person I was with and then killed the person they had called out. With her, my first reaction was to make her understand just how much it hurt me that she could d
