I let out a satisfied giggle.
“Seriously,” he urged me, reaching up and fixing his septum piercing. “That was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. The matebond bringing you to orgasm made me come right along with you. Is it...is it like that with everyone?”
I nodded, looping my arms around his neck and kissing him softly. “Pretty much.”
The moment shattered when Chaos and Demo manifested from both of us in a swirl of chaos magic and howled at the door.
It shook it in its frame just before Hunter walked through with a knowing grin on his lips.
Chaos and Demo de-manifested.
“Did you two have fun?” Hunter asked.
Happiness flooded our bond as we nodded, and my face burned as I realized I hadn’t put Nebula in the drawer.
“Yes,” Nebula hissed as if he couldn’t be more unimpressed. “They did.”

REED
My heart thudded loudly in my chest as I rested my sweaty palm on Pandora’s thigh in Demonic Ethics.
I’d felt her and Bram through our bond last night, and while they hadn’t had sex, I knew they shared a moment of intimacy that they both needed. Something about her sealing all of her matebonds had increased our desire for her and hers for us.
She was aphysicalneed. My soul craved her in a way my body couldn’t, and I needed to be closer to her—inside of her.
I could feel her return those feelings through our bond.
“Damn.” Jenni whistled. “Your sexual tension’s off the charts.”
“Jenni.” Pandora blushed, placing her hand on mine. “We can’t help it.”
“Oh, I know. Daryl and I are the same.” She winked, tucking her dark hair behind her ear. “It’s feeding my reserves, though, so I don’t mind it one bit.”
“Sorry I’m late,” Respa said as she glided into the room, running her hands through her short black hair. “Our topic of discussion today is whether incubi or succubi using pheromones to manipulate situations is inherently unethical or if it’s a survival mechanism.”
“Survival mechanism,” an incubus answered immediately. “It’s our natural right to do that.”
“Yes, sometimes,” Jenni agreed, “but it’s not always okay to use. It depends on the extent it’s used and the situation. Consent is important.”
The incubus rolled his eyes. “If someone’s trying to kill us, they’re not asking us for consent to end our life.”
“In a self-defense situation, of course, but there’s a difference between using our pheromones to distract someone to get the upper hand in a defensive situation versus a personal gain scenario,” Jenni explained.
The incubus nodded. “Yeah, that’s true. I agree with that.”
Another incubus snorted. “I don’t. So what if we use our pheromones for a bit of personal gain? The ones we’re using get an obvious benefit from it, too.”
“Consent is king, dumbass,” Jenni stated plainly, rolling her eyes.
“She’s right.” The other incubus gave the guy a disgusted look.
He huffed and crossed his arms as Respa launched into an in-depth explanation of different scenarios where it would and wouldn’t be okay.
I leaned over until my lips brushed against the shell of Pandora’s ear. “I bought us a new book to read together.”
She whipped her head to look at me, and our noses touched. “You did?” Her breath hitched.
