How can I argue with that?
After a brief nod, I stand, positioning myself between his legs. With a flick of my wrist, my human glamour slips, falling away as quickly as the bodysuit I peel off.
My skin loses its peachy hue, becoming gray with streaks of blue. My face contorts, elongating my jaw and forehead while my legs lengthen and my feet curve into claws. A moan of pure relief rises out of me as my wings unfold and spread out behind me, while my tail releases from its tightly coiled position. My cock, heavy and thick, juts from between my legs. I’m truly shocked at the lust flowing through me before I realize it’s not my emotion.
It’s Valentino’s.
“Gods of fire,” he whispers. “Xazedose, you are breathtaking.”
Chapter Twenty
VALENTINO
“Do you mean it?”
Desperate to touch him, I reach out to pull him closer, gripping his hips. “Fuck yeah, I mean it. I’ve never seen anything so damn beautiful.”
Xaze’s face, his incredible all-demon face, softens from the compliment. The creases in his forehead disappear and the tight frown relaxes.
“I’ve never shown myself to anyone who wasn’t a demon. Not like this, anyway. I’ve shown myself to instill terror, but never just to beseen. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be.” His voice is deep and resonant, and his lips twitch with his confession as his eyes search mine.
“Your voice…” I smile, rubbing my hands up and down his slender hips, bringing our faces close together so our noses bump and I can smell the familiar scent of his skin. “It sounds so different.”
He nods. “When we’re in our true forms, the trapped souls of humans and other creatures who made deals with demonsseep through our voices. Almost like a speaker or a portal.” He grimaces a little, like he’s afraidthatinformation will be the last straw that sends me screaming into the night.
I frown and cock my head. “Could they come through?”
“Oh no. They wish.” He clears his throat and a visible ripple moves like a snake across his flesh. “There. Tamped that down.”
I know I’m staring, but I can’t get enough. He’s so vulnerable right now. So exposed. SoXazedose. My dragon purrs deep in my chest, urging me to wrap myself around our demon and rub against his warm skin like a cat. He wants to embed our scent into Xazedose’s skin and mark every inch of him as ours. My heart beats faster and I swallow thickly.
“Thank you,” I whisper, brushing a long strand of his hair off his shoulder and ghosting my fingertips over his scorching hot skin. He shivers, then laughs.
“For removing my glamour?”
“No.” I pull his body even closer, noticing how his height has shifted too. His thick, ridged demon cock rubs against mine, so hot I can feel the scorching pulse of it through my clothes.
A powerful wave of lusty pheromones hits me, and I sway. When I lift my eyes to his face, his lips part to reveal pointed teeth, sharp and deadly, with fangs where the canines were. His eyes glow, and he trembles as the scent of wildflowers wafts around us.
Xaze sways into me, his long fingers wrapping around my neck and up into my hair. Without words, our mouths find each other, colliding in a heated kiss that speaks of longing, hope, and intense need.
I fall back onto the bed and Xaze climbs on top of me, his wings flapping slowly above us, creating a soft breeze. Our tongues twist together, sizzling and sparking, and if we’re not careful, we’ll turn this hotel room into a blazing inferno.It would be worth it.
My clothes fall away as he drags a finger down my body, burning through the cloth and searing my skin beneath it. The way the heat of his touch spreads through me leaves me panting into his kiss.
“Mmff,” Xaze mumbles, writhing wildly against me. “Dragon,” he says in a breathy moan, calling my beast forward with the pleading edge in his voice.
My dragon clambers to the surface, my body swelling and rippling with a half shift as he pushes his way front and center, hungry for more. More of Xaze’s kiss, more of his skin, more of every part of him until we’re welded into one perfect being, unable to be parted from each other in any way. An emptiness spreads through me, needy and desperate for the one thing only Xaze can give me.
Breaking the kiss, I grip the front of his neck to get his attention. “I want you to fuck me.”
It takes my brain several seconds to catch up with what my lips are begging him for. I’ve never felt the urge to be filled by anyone before, to be fucked and owned and taken apart piece by piece. But the empty ache inside of me now is impossible to argue with. I want all of that with Xaze. No one else, just him.
My dragon thrashes and my cock throbs, spilling long, sticky strings of precum onto my belly. Xaze tilts his head back and groans deeply, the sound and the desire behind it rumbling between us, plucking at the tentative bond that’s growing sturdier by the minute. His body heats to near blistering levels as his eyes flicker different colors before settling on a bright gold.The same color as my dragon eyes. He opens his mouth and his tongue flicks out, long and thin and forked down the middle. His tail twitches behind him, curling and uncurling before caressing my calves with purposeful strokes.
What else can he do with his tail?
“Oh fuck, Xaze,” I groan, arching up towards him, pawing wildly at him, desperate to feel every inch of his skin at once, as impossible as that desire is.
