Remi chuckled.“Iamfucking you, honey.And that’s how I know you’re lying because I must be pretty damn special for you to break your rules and fuck a soulless person.”Her breath hitched, and she arched her back as her body started shaking.He fucked her through her orgasm.“But don’t go getting all attached, Skye.You’re just a convenient hole to me.”
She obviously couldn’t respond with words, not with the way she was trembling and sucking in air as she came, but she had enough coordination to pull her hand back and slap him across the cheek, hard enough that his head ricocheted back.The pain was like a lightning bolt through his body, sharp and electrifying and throbbing.His thrusts stuttered as he came inside her.
“Unhg.”The incomprehensible noise was involuntary and yanked from the center of his chest as the orgasm barreled through him.
His body burned in a similar way it had when he’d felt the magic of the bargain taking hold of him, though not as intensely, since he didn’t feel like he was in danger of passing out.
There was a brief, blinding moment where neither of them moved; only the sound of them catching their breaths filled the room.
Remi’s jaw was still dropped as he looked into the blood-red irises of the demon who’d ruined his life.The shock of what just happened was mirrored on her face.His cheek stung from her slap, a pulsating heat that he liked far too much.
She blinked once, and the demon-red of her eyes was gone.Her face fell into a scowl.He narrowed his eyes and returned the expression.
“Pain whore,” she mocked.
“Soulless-fucking slut,” he taunted.
She curled her lip and shoved him with both hands.He almost tripped over his shorts, which were around his ankles, but he caught his balance and bent over to pull them up.
She hopped off the vanity and got dressed as Remi located his shirt that he’d tossed halfway across the room.
Someone pounded on the door.“If you guys are done fucking now, we have to do sound check,” West said.
Skye sighed and rubbed her fingers in circles on her temples.
“Don’t worry, Skye,” Remi said.“We can go for round two after I’m done.Should take twenty minutes tops.”
“That isneverhappening again.”She put her hands on her hips.
Remi just smiled and pushed past her to open the door.
West was standing there, leaning against the wall.“You get that out of your system now?”
Remi snorted.He was just getting started.
Chapter Seventeen
Skyepressedherforeheadto the closed dressing room door after Remi left and tried to catch her breath.Something foreign and unpleasant worked through her, congealing into a sickness that had her sliding down to the floor.She wrapped her arms around her torso and sat on the ground, resting the side of her head on the wooden frame of the door.
What the hell was happening to her?
She bit her tongue until the iron taste of blood flooded her mouth.She’d never felt whatever this was inside her.It had the same contours as the way she experienced losing her mother, but it was sharper, barbed wire grinding through her organs.
Anger.It was just another facet of anger.And Remi hurt her pride.He knew she was going back on her word by fucking him.That’s all it was.
So she fucked a soulless.Oh well.Literally every demon did at some point.It didn’t mean anything.She had to do it to distract Remi to rebind the magic of the bargain to his soul.
A warmth began to grow at the base of her throat.The heat grew so quickly that her neck started burning.She yanked at the black lace choker until it untied and tossed the wretched thing across the room.
Her fingers smoothed over the blistered, marred skin where the black diamond had been lying.
Not black anymore.
Skye’s eyes widened as she crawled across the floor to stare at the marbled gem.Shining ice-blue swirls danced among the shadows.
It’s working!
Zara was right.The devil magic she stole to fortify Remi’s bargain needed his acceptance.Another bargain or two and she’d probably have his soul entirely.
