“And… what if I was in a relationship?” she whispered. Something about how she asked suggested she was, but also that she didn’t want to be.
My mind ticked back to that first magic class, where Saldrea had punished her… and the demon who’d come to Izzy’s aid.
I had to ask. “The demon, from magic class?”
She turned to me, one brow raised. The look was hard to read. She seemed caught off guard — which suggested I was right — but also a little put off.
“Rook?” She laughed. “We were togetheronce… not anymore.”
Ah.
“Good. You can’t trust demons.”
She cocked her head. “No? Why? Or should I not trust anyone, even you?” She was on guard now. I’d said the wrong thing.
Shit.
“Demons know only lust and war. He can’t love you…”like I could.
Her eyes narrowed. I got the feeling she sensed where that sentence had been going.
“And… what doyouknow of love?” she asked softly.
So little.
“Only what I’ve known since I met you.” The truth.
She blushed.
Then grimaced.
Was she upset?
She sidled closer and leaned in, hot breath on my ear as she breathed, “And what if I just wanted hot, steamy sex, nothing more?”
Heavens Above! That sultry tone had my cock instantly hard, uncomfortably so, trapped in my pants.
This wasdefinitelya trick question. I shouldn’t say thatsex with her would be glorious. I should reiterate my love… right? Yet, she’d seemed upset when I’d professed how I felt. Did that mean she wasn’t ready for an emotional relationship, butdidwant a physical one? Would I be shooting myself in the foot — or the dick in this case — if I didn’t say yes?
Fuck.
“I’ll give you whatever you want, whatever you ask for,” I breathed. Yes, that felt right. I’d give her anything if it meant she could cleanse the stain in my soul and change this world for the better.
Her brows raised in surprised as a smile spread over her full lips.
Yes! Right answer!
“Really?” she breathed. And before I knew it, she’d straddled my lap, so very close, soveryhot. She leaned forward, pressing her chest to mine to whisper in my ear once again.
“And would it matter if a demon’s dick had been inside me? What about another man’s? Would you still want me if I was sleeping with other men? Would you share me?”
Right now — with the way her hips pressed down on my lap, rocking softly — I’d do anything for her. My cock strained. My heart thundered. I had to have her!
But then her words sank in.
Share her?
Was she still sleeping with that demon?
