Power.

Pure, unadulterated power filled my every cell, indescribable strength and energy elevating me from one state of being to something… else.

I floated in a void I’d been in once before. The same place I’d fallen into when I first crossed the portal into Hell surrounded me now as more of my old life faded away.

Lucifer growled, his cock still rock hard inside me.

Whatever was now coursing through my body had me more than ready for the next round, but when Lucifer looked at me, there was a strange gleam in his eyes. His normally steady hands trembled as he reached out for me.

No, for my hair.

He lifted the strands from where they fell onto my breast, and when I looked down to see what had caught his attention, my breath caught in my throat.

Glowing.

The red streaks in my hair no longer looked like colorful clip-in extensions. Much like the lava style threads in the marble, my hair appeared to be made of living fire.

I grabbed some strands from the other side, lifting them to examine the strange development. It was cool to the touch, just like the marble.

“Your power,” he said in true awe. “It’s returned to you.”

I understood now. Why my hair hadn’t glowed before now, or even in any of my memories.

And the weakness I’d felt my whole life… it was gone. Beneath the hurts of my trials at the palace, I felt a core of steel and fire within me.

“Because of you. You gave it back to me.” I was trying so hard not to cry, but the intensity of everything happening was going to win in a moment.

“Well, my Fire Lily. Let’s see if I can make you even stronger.”

Chapter44

Lucifer

Lilith bit her lower lip, the tiny movement drawing my eyes like a lodestone. She arched against me, skin heating up against mine as a flush spread over her.

“Yes,” she whispered, running her fingertips down my chest, tracing every scar.

Both wolf and demon had entwined into one, and were all too happy to obey.

Mate, the wolf whispered to me.She’s our mate.

This time, I needed control. The primal nature of my beast clamored to be appeased, and I wasn’t in the mood to argue. I slid a hand around her, then flipped her over.

Lilith’s long hair swung over her shoulders, glimmering like liquid embers, and in the firelight the limned muscles along her spine glowed.

I ran my hands and teeth over every inch of her, tracing the contours of her body. My cock was painfully hard, aching to slide into her.

But I made myself wait, kissing my way down her spine and back up again.

On all fours, she leaned back into me, wiggling her ass against my cock.

I sucked in a breath, unable to hold back. It was like all the decades of deprivation from her were catching up with me at once, driving me to pound into her.

I climbed over her, bracing my hand on the earth, and felt my cock slip against her wet pussy. She moaned, arching into me again.

There was a pause as I waited for her to adjust again. She’d been so tight the first time, like she’d never fucked before… but my blood was pounding in my veins, driving me forward.

I thrust into her, feeling her whole body shake with the movement. Her head fell back, her mouth open and eyes closed. She groaned, a deep sound of bliss.
