“I…I love it!”
His cheeks turn red in an instant, and I can’t help but twitch again. He’s so handsome when he’s shy.
“I love it too,” he answers, and I know we’re not talking about the tea anymore. Maybe we never were.
I take him in my arms and lift him up so I can kiss him. My wings tease at my back, begging to come out, but we’re in public, and as much as I don’t give a shit about mortals finding out about the magical world, about demons, I really should hold back. Especially now, with my new position.
His lips stick to mine like honey and I taste both him and his bubble tea in them, on his tongue, in his breath. My oxygen.
That’s what he is. My oxygen. My reason to breathe. My reason to live.
I spent so long bound to humans, bound to people who only wanted to use me, but he is different. I want to be bound to him. To be with him for as long as I live.
Isn’t that quite something?
“I love you,” I tell him just so he has no doubt.
I never want him to doubt my love for him.
“I love you too, Lucian.”
He kisses me again, and his cock grows harder against mine.
Its touch starts a fire within me. A fire I want to nurture with all I’ve got.
“Oh my Goddess. Please. Get a room, you two.”
Yu-jin turns and jumps off me. I hate it.
“Oh. Hey, Jace.” Yu-jin fixes his hair and straightens his shirt, and the boy named Jace laughs.
He’s a handsome kid, young like Yu-jin, with dark skin, curly hair hidden under a fedora, and some of the most expressive black eyes I’ve ever seen.
Before I met Yu-jin, he’d be the type of human I’d take to bed. But now, my bed, my arms, and my cock, my entire body and soul, are reserved for Yu-jin and Yu-jin only.
“Lucian, that’s my friend, Jace.” He points from me to Jace, and I reach out a hand. “He’s the one who helped me get the summoning kit.”
“H…hi. Jace Starling. Pleasure to meet you,” he stutters.
His magic pulses under his skin and wraps around my senses like a charm. It’s powerful but cool. It leaves an emptiness inside.
“You’re a necromancer.”
Jace pulls back and rubs his hand as if I’ve hurt him. He bites his lip and nods.
“You…you’re a demon.”
I smirk.
“I am.”
“Whoa. Your magic is…whoa,” he says.
“Wait ’til you feel his.” I look at my darling boy, and he blushes yet again.
“Oh yeah. Your magic. What’s that all about. You ignited?”
“Sort of.” Yu-jin casts a glance at me.
