“Funny, I didn’t think your powers included telepathy,” I say, my throat tight. “Or was that a lie?”
“This isn’t a joke.”
“Good thing I’m not joking.” I try to keep my expression neutral, but I can feel my pulse picking up. The room suddenly feels hotter, and I’m probably blushing.
His mouth dips into a frown. “Joseline, I?—”
“Are you denying me?”
“No, I?—”
“Then, what?” My voice comes out a little strained. “You don’t have feelings for me, is that it? You don’t want me.” I swallow hard, fighting to keep my voice level. “I want you, asshole. Even if we can’t go out in public. Even if we always have to worry about hellbeasts. Hell, even if we’re on the run for the rest of our lives.” I sigh, hating how pathetic I sound, but relieved to get it off my chest. “Why is it so hard to believe that I could want to be with you, despite everything?”
He cups my face in his hands and drags me against him, our lips a hairsbreadth apart. “Because I've never loved someone the way I love you. Because I want you to have everything you could ever dream of, everything you deserve. The thought of you leaving pains me so badly it's hard to breathe when I think about it, but I'd suffer every day if it meant you were happy without me.”
My chest seizes, and I have to force air into my lungs.
Tobias just said he loves me.
Holy shit. I'm pretty sure I broke this demon.
His lips are so close now, but I wait, despite the ache to feel them against mine. When my voice finally comes out, it's barely more than a whisper. “Then stop torturing yourself and claim me, Kaseilon. I'm yours.”
He hesitates, his eyes searching mine for any hint of reluctance, but he won't find it. I've made up my mind. I've chosen my future.
And it's him.
Something in him snaps, and his lips crash against mine. His tongue chases mine desperately, and he rolls on top of me without breaking our kiss, settling between my thighs.
“Say it again,” he demands, his voice gruff.
I lock my arms behind his neck, dragging him closer. “I’m yours.”
He lines his cock up and thrusts it into me with a single punch of his hips. I sigh at the fullness and moan against his mouth as he fucks with with slow, deep strokes.
“Again,” he groans, reaching up to tangle one of his hands in my hair.
A smile tugs at my lips. “I’m yours.”
“Again.”
I obey over and over, moaning the words like a prayer until I’m coming on his cock. My pussy clenches around him, and I bite his shoulder to muffle my scream, squeezing my eyes closed as wave after wave of pleasure slams into me.
“Fuck, you’re so perfect,” Tobias says, picking up his pace. “Fucking perfect and fuckingmine.”
I swallow his groan with a kiss as he thrusts into me a final time, his cock twitching as he pumps me full of cum yet again. How he still has any to spare after fucking me all night is beyond me, but I’m not complaining.
Thank absolute fuck for birth control.The last thing anyone needs is another half-demon baby running around.
When I settle against his chest again, he pulls meclose, like he’s afraid to let go. It might just be the most endearing thing he’s ever done, until he outdoes himself right after.
“I love you,” he says softly into my hair. I don’t even know if he meant for me to hear it, but I can’t deny the way my heart stutters at the words.
Yep. I’m pretty sure I broke him.
“I love you too.” My words are equally as soft, and I close my eyes as he runs his fingers through my hair.
Of all the unexpected things to happen over the last few months, falling in love with a demon is definitely in my top five.
