He turned the other way. There! A gap. Dex pushed forward, aiming for a space between two couples, but as he reached it, the gap closed. The four men pressed in, leaving him no way through.
All around, the bodies closed in. The immediate space around Dex opened as the men nearest melded into the perimeter, leaving Dex in an empty circle, people writhing all around him.
Luc was doing this. He was controlling the crowd. A chill trickled down Dex’s spine as he spun in a circle.
There was no way out.
Over the heads of the crowd, Dex caught a glimpse of red wings. His throat ran dry, and his hands trembled.
The wings drew closer.
He backed away as far as he could, hitting the wall of dancing men and getting no reaction. Luc had so much power. He could doanythingto Dex.
Dex was realizing how much he’d underestimated the depth of the Devil’s powers. It was terrifying to be this helpless. A thrill like no other, even though, deep down, he was sure Luc wouldn’t take more than what he offered.
It was perfect.
The crowd on the opposite side of the circle parted, and Lucifer stepped into the clearing, his glowing eyes fixed on Dex, his mouth open in a snarl.
Dex’s neck throbbed, his pulse dizzyingly fast.
Luc lunged forward, and the crowd seemed to surge with him, closing in around Dex. Luc’s tail wrapped around Dex’s hips, his arms around Dex’s body. He pushed against Luc’s chest and his skin burned hot beneath hisfingers.
“No,” Dex whimpered.
“Yes, you’re mine.” Luc tangled a hand in Dex’s hair and yanked his head back.
Color splashed across Luc’s face as the lights strobed. The red glow of his eyes turned into flame, and he pulled Dex tight against him, his tail constricting. Dex squirmed, his hard cock rubbing tantalizingly against Luc’s thigh.
A moan tore from his parched throat, and his whole body vibrated.
Luc bent to Dex’s neck and ran his fangs along his skin.
“Luc,” Dex whimpered, the sound lost to his own ears.
The Devil pressed his lips to Dex’s cheek. “Remember, you can’t come. Not until I say.”
With lightning speed, Luc’s fangs pierced Dex’s throat.
Dex screamed as pain and pleasure exploded beneath his skin. He clawed at Luc’s chest, pushing him away, bringing him closer, he didn’t know.
His cock throbbed. Dex rubbed against Luc and almost exploded with the first roll of his hips. It was torture to stop, but he did. He wouldn’t come. Not before Luc gave him permission. Luc owned him, and he would be good for the Devil.
Luc’s fangs sent pleasure through his veins, and an agonized cry filled Dex’s ears. He realized it had come from him. It was too much. Too good. He shook and whimpered, his heart thundering so fast he might faint.
“Please,” Dex whispered.
Luc withdrew his fangs, licking his lips. He swiped a thumb over the wound on Dex’s neck and brought it to his mouth, sucking the blood off. “Mm. Such a good boy holding back for me.”
Dex bit his lip. If he moved, he’d come in his pants.Fuck. A strangled sound left his lips.
“So, so good for me.” Luc stroked Dex’s cheek.
Heat pooled inside Dex, growing hotter with Luc’s words, and his fingers flexed on Luc’s chest. “Please.”
The fire danced in Luc’s eyes. “Would you like another chance to escape?”
Words wouldn’t form.No. Dex needed tocome.
