“What?” he asked and then smiled as he searched my aura. “Me too.”
Good. He understood I was happy we could handle something so easily being on the same team. That was what I’d always wanted when I’d dreamed of ever being able to have a relationship one day.
We ate and got ready, Mason making sure to pick out my outfit if he was going to “share” me with so many others. It wasn’t jealous or over the top but… Cute.
It was cute the way he said it. At least to me.
But we looked good. Our glamours and outfits complimented each other.
“As much as I love dancing and I knew we had eyes at the club when we met, I’ve never been in a performance like this,” he said with a nervous chuckle.
“Get ready for a high, or if you hate it then we only dance at home,” I told him, willing to accept either way and whatever he needed.
The kiss he gave me made it clear he was touched I would make it so easy for him.
Of course. He did the same for me all of the time.
We arrived a half an hour before we were going on. I frowned because it was way more than the VPs there. There were a lot of powerful people there. I turned to Kyria and raised an eyebrow.
“It wasn’t intentional, but it just worked out that it’s also—Elijah and Ally had already invited a lot of ancients to see the truth like you wanted. They’re showing how we set up safe ways for demons to feed.” She sighed when I frowned. “Some of them are as misguided or misinformed as humans are on other species.”
I swallowed a sigh. We sucked out souls and shortened lifespans by our feedings. All that bullshit. “How can people so old not know anything about a species as old as them?”
“Because a lot of us aren’t as perfect as you,” the female ancient who was helpful said as she joined us. “And some of us unfortunately witnessed when one of your kind became a demon.” She nodded when I winced. “Yes, I heard you had your own tragedy, but you understand that stories like that were all some of us knew—what I’dseen.”
“So you thought younger demons were a bit…” I didn’t know how to finish that without risking offending her.
“How fledgling vampires used to be and behaved badly too often because feeding was difficult,” she finished for me. “Youngdemons couldn’t control themselves, and—I heard what those abused lust demons did to the coven in LA. I’ve seen that before and just for punishment.”
I nodded, rubbing the back of my neck. “Nothing is ever easy.”
“No, but now you know more of the background of why your meeting didn’t go as you wanted and it wasn’t your failure,” she told me before turning and leaving without another word.
“She turns me on and terrifies me at the same time,” Kyria muttered under her breath.
Yeah, she wasn’t the only one.
When it was time, Mason took my hand and led me out where we needed to go. He made a point to spin me and kiss my hand to get me into place.
This man was beyond sexy.
I licked my lips as I stared into his gray eyes, making it clear that he was in charge and I would follow him however he wanted. His nostrils flared, obviously seeing it in my aura.
Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” featuring Daddy Yankee loaded and we were off. I knew it was a super popular song that some complained played constantly and they were over it but right then, it was the perfect song for us to connect on.
And we were going to certainly set the place on fire. When I wrapped my leg around him and he held me under the ass, spinning us around and around before twirling me out… I was honestly worried my power to use fire could get away from me I was so hot.
Fine, not in that way, but emotions were said to bubble over for a reason.
He pulled me back to him and ground our bodies together before flipping me up around his shoulders like I weighed nothing. Then I slid down his back and reached behind meto hold his hips as we moved. I writhed against him until he grabbed my wrist and twirled me back to face him.
I swallowed a groan when he slid me between his legs and I saw he was just as affected as I was. The pants hid it well, but I was his lover.
And a lust demon. I knew he was seconds from fucking me for all of them to see.
Yes.
Please.
