The sight of Reign unable to suppress the way their encounter with the woman had affected him evoked in Noah an even deeper bitterness toward Teresa. Yet at the same time, it also gave rise to something else. Relief and… contentment that was almost euphoric, born from the fact that Reign hadn’t remained impartial to her actions.
Was it because he saw them as an infringement upon the soul he was in charge of? Like an intruder trespassing into the territory that belonged to him. He had mentioned that demons were a possessive bunch, after all.
Noah clenched his teeth as an alternative explanation made itself known, twisting his stomach into nervous knots, because what if Reign’s reaction went beyond just possessiveness? What if there was more to it?
No, he couldn’t go there.
Noah shut his eyes and concentrated on the feel of Reign’s fingers instead, burying that thought to the deepest trenches of his heart. Reign’s fury was caused by the contract that bound them. That was all it was. Noah’s wild imagination and futile hope for something more, something deeper and more meaningful had no place here. He needed to shut it down, to put a lid on his growing infatuation with Reign before it overflowed and turned into something else. Something dangerous that would only end up consuming him and ruining the arrangement they had.
Reign placed his palm on Noah’s chest and slowly slid it down, caressing Noah’s abdominals and navel. He dropped to his knees unceremoniously and firmly gripped Noah’s dick, his eyes not moving from Noah’s face. Noah grunted, a half-moan half-gasp ripping out of him.
“Reign,” he whispered, running his hands through Reign’s lush hair. “I want you. I need you.”
Reign let his demon form manifest, squeezing Noah’s left thigh with one clawed hand as he bent forward and licked the tip of Noah’s cock. Slowly, he traced a line down to the base of the shaft, loosening his hold to accommodate for the path of his mouth. Backtracking, he focused on the crown for a few exasperating moments, humming as he licked. Then he swallowed without warning, enveloping Noah in the wet heat of his mouth while moving his tail up Noah’s leg. It quickly found Noah’s hole, the tip somehow slicked already as it probed and demanded entry. Noah didn’t fight the intrusion; he relaxed against the tail and moaned as it pushed inside him, the sensation of being stretched familiar as it built up desire within him.
“Let me hear you, Noah,” Reign drawled as if he was high, lust swimming in his dark eyes.
He was jerking himself off as he worked on Noah’s cock and ass, the pleasure the act gave him clear in the tension in his features and the urgency in his movements. The sight spurred Noah on even more, unleashing sweet tingling down his spine. His balls drew up, and he begged Reign to come, but Reign didn’t let him, slowing down both his hand and tail to a torturous pace.
He edged them both for a while, but at one point when Noah’s moans and gasps became too unhinged, he pulled away and turned Noah around, taking him as water from the shower rained down on them.
Later, when they lay in Reign’s bed, Noah felt more like himself. Reign had fucked him in the bathroom, then fucked him again bent over the breakfast bar, erasing the last of Teresa from his mind and body. Reign’s lingering caress was all he could feel now, a pleasant reminder of how ravenous the demon was for him, how crazed from the need to reclaim him.
“Noah,” Reign said, lowering the book he was reading. He had his thick-rimmed glasses on as usual, the accessory complementing the shape of his face both in his human and demon form. “You ought to sleep. It is rather late.”
Sprawled on his stomach, Noah wondered if Reign even needed the glasses. “Do you really need them? Your glasses?” he asked, letting his eyes flutter closed as Reign’s fingers traced the outline of his cheek.
“Yes, just when it comes to reading. My eyesight is fine for most other things.”
“Turning into a demon… didn’t fix it?” Now that Noah thought about it, it kind of made sense, didn’t it? Since Reign wasn’t human, but part of the supernatural, then surely something as simple as poor sight would’ve been easy enough to cure…
“It made it a little better. There are healing rituals I can undergo, but they are cumbersome, so I never bothered.”
Noah stored away the new piece of information he’d learned, making a mental note to ask Reign about these rituals later since he had something better in mind to do now.
“I want to blow you,” Noah said, sticking his tongue out to lick his lips as Reign’s fingers stroked the column of his neck and sent another pleasant shiver through his body.
Reign chuckled. “That would require you to move, and you don’t look quite ready for that yet.”
The remark was genuine, bearing no ill intent, but Noah felt it as a challenge, one that got blood pumping toward his dick. Gracefully—or at least as gracefully as he could manage—he lifted himself off his stomach andstraddled Reign’s thighs. The response was immediate, Reign’s cock already half-hard when Noah’s hand found it.
A teasing smile lifted one side of Reign’s lips. He folded his glasses and discarded them together with the book, shuffling further down the bed.
“Not like this,” he said when he was in a satisfactory position. “Turn around and give me your ass.”
Oh fuck. Liquid fire spread through Noah as his brain caught up to what Reign wanted to do, making him scramble to comply. Reign’s cock jutted up against his navel, fully hard now and slightly curved to one side as it waited for Noah to take it in his mouth. Wrapping one hand around the base, he nuzzled the area around it with his nose first, inhaling Reign’s scent, then licked a stripe up the shaft’s prominent vein as Reign started kneading the globes of his ass, spreading them. It made him feel exposed but in the best way, his body coiling with anticipation for Reign’s touch.
“You are so beautiful, Noah,” Reign said and didn’t give Noah the chance to respond as he flattened his tongue against Noah’s hole.
Noah gasped and took Reign in his mouth, moaning around him as Reign started licking, probing with his tongue for entry. Noah didn’t fight the intrusion, welcoming the pressure as he began bobbing his head up and down Reign’s dick. The combination of Reign’s taste and his tongue fucking Noah’s ass was heady, an ecstatic sensation that made Noah feel even more wanted. It reduced him to a writhing, moaning mess as Reign ate him out, sending wave after wave of the blinding arousal through him.
“Fuck, Reign… so good,” Noah said when he needed air, licking Reign’s shaft as his heart and lungs worked to keep him from suffocating.
He let Reign’s dick go as deep as he could without choking on it, shaking his hips so he could get Reign’s tongue deeper. His demon-man groaned and squeezed his ass, encouraging that, then added a finger as well.
Noah moaned obscenely, the added stretch increasing the pleasure. But it was still not enough, so he pushed against Reign again, needing that finger deeper. Sparks exploded along his spine when it tagged his prostate, making him whimper.
“Fuck, yess… Reign… more.”
