Sitting up, I got to my feet, holding on to her as I spun her around and slammed her against the mattress.
“Behave, precious one. We only get one first time. I want to make it count.”
She whimpered, but didn’t fight me as much as I anticipated. My arms braced on either side of her face, I moved in deep, purposeful thrusts. The way my hair fell forward offered us a sort of cocoon, adding to the intimacy between us in a way I’dnot expected. She was mine. Only I understood her the way she deserved. Now she realized it as well.
Pain bloomed across my back where my wings would be if I released them. I didn’t let them out often unless I was performing for the sake of showing my power to my enemies. And even then, they only saw what I wanted. The truth of my wings was a secret known only to me.
“More,” Merri urged, her eyes locked onto mine.
I held her gaze, giving her everything as I drove into her.
I’d thought my climax in the dream had been the best I’d ever had, but it paled in comparison to the one building now. While I was inside her. Fuck. Leaving a piece of me behind had always been appealing, a goal to meet, but Merri being bonded to me in every way possible did something primal to me.
A golden glow emanated from between us, threads of magic starting and ending at our chests. Warmth suffused my veins, and Merri let out a shocked gasp, her eyes turning back to their beautiful blue for just a second before going demonic once more.
I was so bloody close. But there was no way I would let this moment pass without Merri coming all over my cock. I had to feel that telltale clenching, see her body tense, maybe hear her cry my name in ecstasy if I was lucky.
Holding myself up with one arm, I reached between us with the other, easily finding her swollen little nub.
Her breath hitched, and she pressed into my fingers, urging me to work her harder. Faster.
The build was exquisite. But the next time I fell, I wanted her to fall with me.
“Be a good girl and come for me, Merri.”
She whimpered, then began trembling, and it was riiiiight there. Her orgasm washed over us both, taking me and throwing me off the cliff right alongside her. Just like before, in her dreamwalk, the waves of pleasure crashed into me without end.Even though she couldn’t possibly be hungry, she still fed off my desire. Each pull from her had my eyes fluttering as I drifted along. Weakened as I was, I couldn’t resist the pull, the additional drain on me forcing me to slip into unconsciousness.
I should have been worried after what happened in the dream.
But I knew something this time.
I’d found my mate, and she would be here when I woke up.
Chapter
Thirty-Nine
MERRI
Iwoke with so much energy rushing through my veins, I felt like a live wire. It didn’t make sense, not really. I’d expended so much power in my dreamwalk to subdue Lucifer, feeding from him in real life shouldn’t have supercharged me. But here I was, practically glowing.
The word triggered a memory of Lucifer and I entwined, golden light swirling around us.
Oh.
Oh no.
I bolted upright, Lucifer sprawled in a very undignified, unLucifer-like manner beside me.
Shit.
Fuck.
Damn. Motherfucking cock ass.
The reality of my situation required every curse word possible.
Lucifer Morningstar was mated to me. He’d gone on and on about how we were fated to be together, and I hadn’t listened. I’d seen it as an overconfident fuckboi telling his future conquest whatever he needed to get what he wanted. But I hadn’t realizedhe’d been warning me of the truth. My body knew, just like it had with the horsemen. And when I wouldn’t give in, instinct took over, and the demon inside me helped fate along.
