Page 20 of I Summoned A Demon For A Date?!
I stared at him, my eyes widening in surprise. Aldaine, the powerful demon I had summoned, was an elder of his own family? I couldn't help the curiosity that bubbled up inside me. What exactly did that entail?
He held my gaze steadily, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips, but I could see the seriousness lurking in the depths of his gorgeous brown eyes. "You're the head of your family?" I repeated slowly, trying to wrap my mind around this new information. "What does that even mean?"
Aldaine chuckled softly again, the sound sending a pleasant shiver down my spine. "It's a bit complicated, little minx. We're a tight-knit group, my people, and I'm responsible for making sure we stay on the right side of things. Even if that means bending a few human rules now and then." His expression turned wry. "Can't have illegal demons getting into too much trouble, after all. I try to keep us ethical in our dealings with humans and others."
I couldn't help but be intrigued. The idea of Aldaine overseeing some sort of demonic family, making sure they behaved themselves, was both fascinating and a little unnerving. What kind of things did they get up to that required his intervention?
"Ethical demon," I snorted. "That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one."
"Hey now," he splashed water at me with his foot. "I'll have you know I'm very ethical. All my contracts are clearly worded, no hidden clauses, and I always fulfill my end of the bargain. My people are required to have the same."
I laughed, but then sobered as I remembered our contract. "Speaking of contracts."
"Don't." His finger pressed against my lips, silencing me. "Let's not talk about that right now. Just enjoy the night with me."
The way he was looking at me made my heart skip a beat, and I found myself nodding. He replaced his finger with his lips, kissing me softly under the starlit sky, and for a moment, I almost forgot that this was all temporary, that my soul wasn't part of some supernatural business transaction.
Aldaine'slips were on mine, and I could feel the heat building between us, threatening to consume me whole. His hands roamed over my body, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. I moaned as his tongue slipped into my mouth, tangling with mine. He tasted like smoke and sin, and I couldn't get enough.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer as if trying to meld our bodies into one. His touch was electric, sending jolts of pleasure throughout my body. I could feel myself growing wetter with every passing second, my body aching for him.
I moaned again as his fingers found their way under my dress, teasing the sensitive flesh of my thighs. I could feel myself growing closer and closer to the edge, my body trembling with anticipation.
Just as I was about to reach the peak, Aldaine pulled away, leaving me gasping for breath. He gazed down at me with a wicked grin, his eyes dark with desire.
"Not yet, little minx," he murmured huskily. "I want to savor this moment."
And with that, he leaned in for another kiss, his lips claiming mine once again as he continued his slow, torturous exploration of my body.
But suddenly, he pulled away, a mischievous glint in hiseyes. "I need to cool off," he stood up.
I watched in amusement as he slipped into the water, fully clothed. The water darkened around him as his clothes soaked up the liquid, and he let out a satisfied sigh.
"Come join me, little minx," he called out, beckoning me with a crook of a finger.
I hesitated for a moment.
Aldaine must have sensed my hesitation because suddenly, he reached out and grabbed my ankle, yanking me into the water with him. I sputtered and splashed, trying to regain my footing as he laughed.
"You ass!" I shouted, smacking his shoulder playfully.
He grinned at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "You love it," he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me.
The water swirled around us as we moved, our soaked clothes creating interesting patterns in the pool. My sundress billowed out like some exotic sea creature, then clung to my curves as I twisted through the cool liquid. The fabric felt oddly sensual against my skin and watching Aldaine's white shirt turn nearly transparent wasn't helping my concentration.
I couldn't remember the last time I'd done something this spontaneous, this playful. Maybe it was back when Denis would take me to the community pool. Those summer afternoons seemed like another lifetime ago.
Now here I was, fully clothed in a luxury pool with a demon, of all things. The absurdity of it made me giggle, the sound echoing off the water's surface. Each movement felt simultaneously awkward and liberating. Like breaking some unspoken rule and loving every second of it. The weight of my waterlogged clothes tried to drag me down, but Aldaine's presence kept me buoyant, both physically and emotionally.
Aldaine and I stole kisses as we swam, our laughter echoing through the night air. His lips were soft and demanding, sending jolts of pleasure down my spine. I could feel hishands roaming over my body. It was a perfect moment. The cool water lapped at my skin, providing a delicious contrast to the heat that was building between us.
If Jan or Stephany saw us, they'd be scandalized. But I didn't care. For once, I was doing something for myself, something that made me happy.
I gazed up at Aldaine, his dark eyes making me feel like drowning. He looked ethereal in the moonlight, his wet hair slicked back and his white shirt clinging to his muscular chest. At that moment, I felt like I could see the real him, the demon beneath the human facade. And I was okay with that.
"You know," I murmured, leaning in for another kiss. "I never pictured myself doing the naughty tango with a demon."
Aldaine chuckled, his breath warm against my cheek. "And I never pictured myself enjoying the company so much with a human," he replied. "But here we are."
