“That’s right, Kitten. You are mine. Now show me what belongs to me.”
My cheeks warmed as I hooked a finger into the crotch of the lacy panties and pulled it to the side, the air-conditioned air in the limo mixed with the heated breath of my love tickling my seam. His amber eyes filled with desire as they swept over my nakedness, which was no doubt still red from this morning.
“The scent of your arousal is so goddamn delicious, Jessica. It’s a fucking drug. You almost smell as good as you had that day on the River Styx when you went into heat.”
“The monster inside me was sick of waiting for her mate to wake up and smell the pussy. She figured you needed a little nudge.”
“You’re beautiful,” he rasped. But his eyes weren’t on my face. They were affixed to my spread opening.
“Lucifer,” I murmured softly. “What do you think sex would be like if you were shifted? Since you are getting your wings back at some point...”
“I can’t tell you how many times I dreamed of taking you in my true form. But Kitten, I don’t know if your human form can take my beast form. The last thing I want to do is hurt you.”
“Gabe and Mel do it.”
“If Gabriel has been as reckless as to bed his mate while he’s shifted, then he’s either a closest sadist or his dick isn’t as big as mine. Not to sound conceited. It’s just a guess.”
I frowned and then thought back to the memory Lucifer showed me where he’d shown Eve his true form. Since the memory was from Lucifer’s eyes, I hadn’t seen his celestial endowment, but by the horrified look on her face, it wasn’t anything to sneeze at.
“If anyone can take the monster inside you, Lucifer, it’s me.”
“I’d never forgive myself if I hurt you, Kitten. Ever.”
“As long as I’m with you, I’m unbreakable.”
“You’ve always been that way. With or without me, Lilith. And gods below, do I love you for it.”
Hearing my old name stirred something deep and ancient inside me. My beast let out a low purr that rumbled up from the depths where she resided within me. Then, she came forward. It was as if she was throwing me over into the passenger seat, and suddenly, I lost all control. It was a feeling I remembered from forever ago. Her taking control should be impossible, not without my wings. But somehow, even if she couldn’t shift, she took over me.
“Lucifer, King of Hell.”
My voice, or Reckless Jess’s voice rather, took me by surprise. It was still my voice, but it had a gravelly cadence, all low and sexy. Like something you’d hear on perfume commercials or a phone sex line.
Lucifer immediately stilled, his muscles tensing. The tendons in his neck tensed, and his pupils dilated. “Jessica?”
His voice was small, almost like he was scared that it wouldn’t be me who answered him.
“My host calls me Reckless. But you may call me Lilith if you wish to distinguish us.”
Part of me knew that if I fought for control, I could get the reigns of my body back from my beast, but I was enthralled by the fact that she managed to squeeze into the driver’s seat even without the ability to shift into her form. The way Lucifer was looking at me, at us, kept me from trying to end this too soon. I wanted to see how this would play out.
“It seems both our beasts possess the ability to come out and control us when their mate is present. That’s fascinating...”
Reckless purred and leaned back in the seat, placing her calves over Lucifer’s shoulder. “Why don’t you let your creature out to play so that he may fuck and fill his mate like The Fates intended.”

Lucifer’s beast let out a low, rattling purr that caused my entire body to grow hot and wet all at once. By the way he held his sinewy body, I knew that his own spirit had pushed to the surface, and now we watched as our inner beasts reached to touch one another for the first time in an age.
“My mate, my queen,” Lucifer crooned in a deep, mournful growl. The shift in his cadence confirmed this was his beast speaking. “I’ve craved you for an eon. I’ve torn apart this realm in search of your new host. Not a night has passed where I have not grieved the absence of your warmth beside me.”
“Your search is at an end, my love. You can have my warmth, sink yourself into my heat, and we shall end our aching for one another in a dance of flesh and blood.”
“Um, bitch, since when is this how you talk?”I chided my beast.
“Since I’m trying to seduce the spirit of our mate, who’s as old as time. Now, shut up, and let me get us some ancient celestial cock.”
Shutting up, I sat back and watched as my body moved with slow, sultry movements that I’d feel silly making if it were me doing it. Her hands were in Lucifer’s hair, clawing through his inky trusses, the heels of her Louboutins tearing into his back, and her hips swayed in a slow, erotic pattern that had our mate completely mesmerized.
