Luc grabbed at the button on my pants and yanked, then pulled the zipper down in one swoop. I pushed at him and unbuttoned his shirt as quickly as I could, sliding my hands under his arms and around his back as he pressed his body against mine.
Luc buried his face in my neck, sucking my skin into his mouth. He growled and pushed my shoulders back.
I grabbed his wings at their base and squeezed. I knew the reaction I'd get.
And I did. He sucked in a sharp breath and bit down on my neck. Even though he didn't have fangs like me, he was telling me he owned me by biting me there. Exerting his dominance.
Not today, Satan. Today, I was in charge. I shoved him away, using my wings to launch away from the wall. He flew back, rising into the air in the living room until his head nearly hit the ceiling.
I kept going forward, wrapping my hands around his waistband and unbuttoning his pants as I lifted into the air and shimmied my pants, which he'd already pulled halfway down, all the way down my legs. I kicked them and my shoes off, letting them land on the floor.
Using my wings to keep me up, as Lucifer did the same.
He was beyond ready. His breath hissed through his teeth, and he bumped his head on the ceiling.
I chuckled and launched myself a little higher so I could wrap my legs around his waist.
As soon as he was inside me, he pushed forward with his wings until my back slammed into the wall again.
I had to lift my hands above my head and brace myself on the ceiling to keep Lucifer from slamming my head into it over and over.
Moaning, I threw my head back as far as I could and let the pleasure take me away from the worries and ache in my heart. For a few minutes, nothing mattered but the feel of Luc.
As my orgasm built, I remembered I was supposed to be in charge.
I pushed off of the wall with my wings again, driving us downward. We collapsed on the couch and Luc tucked his wings in just in time as I landed on top of him.
Opening my mouth, I allowed my fangs to elongate and sank them into Lucifer's neck.
His rich, strong blood poured into my mouth, enhancing my orgasm. As my venom spread through his body, he pulled me close.
Our orgasms waned together, completing as one. I pulled my teeth from Luc's neck, and it healed almost immediately. He didn't have access to his magic to actively use it, but his body was still ethereal. There was magic in that alone.
"I wonder if it's gone or if you're blocked," I whispered.
He had his head back on the back of the sofa. "What?" He cracked one eye to look at me. "What are you talking about?"
"I mean, you healed." I climbed off of him and used magic to clean up the mess, so I didn't have to worry about it. With a wave of my hand, we were both dressed again.
He blinked with heavy eyelids and yawned. "Of course I healed."
"We've never dealt with an angel losing their powers, not personally. Why would you still be able to heal? Why would you still be able to produce and hide your wings the way you can?"
He rolled his shoulders as if just now realizing that his wings had disappeared. I tucked mine away as he did. "I don't know. Maybe some magic can't be taken?"
I held out my hand. Our anger seemed to have dissipated. "Come on. Let's lay down until Mary has some news for us."
He nodded and followed me to the bedroom. It looked as pristine as it had when Connie lived there and cleaned up every day, making the bed and wiping the surfaces in the morning before she began her day.
I wasn't nearly as fastidious as she was. But I had the advantage of magic for boring chores like that. Turning back the bed, I slid in and smiled when Luc tucked himself close behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
We fell asleep that way, with his forehead pressed against my back, at the invisible base of my wings.
Chapter Six
Lilith
I hadn't slept nearly long enough when Gabe woke us up. A pitiful, and probably annoying, whine erupted from my chest when I realized he meant for me to get up. "Did Mary find her friend?" I asked. That was about the only thing that would get me out of bed after growing so exhausted before sleeping.
