“I need you to tell me you’re okay with this. You can say no, Shemhazai. If you’re not ready, we don’t have to. It won’t make me think less of you, and I’m not going anywhere. This is not a condition of my love for you.”
My lips parted in surprise, and my heart swelled painfully in my chest.
This was my decision, and he was making it clear that he would respect that decision, no matter what it was.
It was more than I had ever given him.
It was more than I had ever givenanyone.
I didn’t deserve it, but I accepted it anyway because I was a demon, and we were selfish creatures at heart.
“I want this,” I whispered, the words squeezing painfully past the rough lump in my throat.
He smiled, and it was my favorite thing in the fucking world.
“Okay.”
Then he kissed me, and my mind exploded in a rush of fireworks.
His tongue pressed into my mouth and found its mate. My toes curled, and my back arched, every piece of me wanting to be closer to him.
He pressed his body against mine, and for the first time, I felt all of him.
Skin to skin.
He was warm andsafe.
It felt like I was finally coming home.
I hadn’t even realized that I’d been wandering for so long without anywhere to call my own until this moment, and it brought literal tears to my eyes.
“You feel incredible,” he murmured into my mouth, gently rubbing his bare cock against mine. His fingers curled in my hair, and he controlled my head as he kissed me. I felt my body submit to him in a way I never thought I would do for anyone.
Letting him take control of me was a relief. Like I could finally rest.
Like I could finally stop fighting.
I was so tired of fighting.
I moaned as he kissed down my cheek to nip at my jawbone. His hot tongue traced down the side of my neck, then my chest. Without warning, he pulled one of my nipples into his mouth, causing me to gasp.
Fuck.
He sucked, and the intensity of the sensation sent my mind into a tailspin. I could feel my pulse in that one concentrated piece of flesh that Gabe was thoroughly massaging with his tongue.
“Gabriel,”I whined, and he let out the sexiest low rumble I’d ever heard.
“You like that, baby?”
“Yes,fuck, Gabriel… that feels good,” I encouraged him, running my fingers through his hair as he began to kiss lower.
His lips traced over my abs as they contracted. His tongue darted out to trace around my navel, and he kissed down my treasure trail until he found the tip of my cock.
With a flat tongue, he licked my crown, and I jerked at the intensity of the sensation.
“Fuck—”I gasped as he drew my fat tip into his mouth, sucking and pulsing it gently. The hot wetness was almost too much, and my cock surged relentlessly as he teased me.
My breath hitched, and as if he could tell I was already losing control from just having his mouth on me, he popped off, causing me to whine slightly.
