Page 52 of Knox
Knox chuckled. "You don’t need words," he assured him. "Your body said everything."
Adrian flushed, suddenly feeling shy under the intensity of Knox’s gaze. He wasn’t used to this, to being seen, to being appreciated. It was overwhelming in the best possible way.
Knox seemed to sense his sudden bashfulness. He leaned in, pressing a soft, chaste kiss to Adrian’s lips. It was so different from the first time the incubus had kissed him. Less intense, but more intimate at the same time.
Their first kiss had been all desperate hunger, but this was… something else.
Adrian tried to stop himself from reading too much into it, tried to stop his heart from beating so fast, but it was no use. He wasn’t in control of his emotions.
How could he be?
Knox had just fulfilled every fantasy he’d never dared to have.
Even in his wildest dreams he’d never imagined being accepted like this.
He’d always thought the incubus would push him to overcome his flaws. The thought that someone might be happy with him just as he was… It had never entered his mind.
Even now he could barely believe his luck.
"Adrian," Knox murmured his name against the skin of his neck. "You’re shaking."
Adrian laughed.
Fuck, he really was shaking. Not because he wasn’t feeling well, though. "I’m okay," he managed to say. "I’m more than okay."
Knox pulled back enough to meet his gaze, a soft smile playing on his lips. "I’m glad," he said, his thumb brushing over Adrian’s cheekbone. "You deserve to feel good."
Adrian’s heart stuttered in his chest. He wasn’t used to being told he deserved anything. It was a foreign concept, one that he was struggling to wrap his mind around.
But Knox was looking at him with such genuine affection that Adrian found himself wanting to believe it. Wanting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he was worthy of this.
He reached up, his fingers tracing the sharp line of Knox’s jaw. The incubus leaned into his touch, his eyes fluttering closed for a moment.
"What about you?" Adrian asked. "You can’t possibly have gotten all you need."
A mischievous smile curved Knox’s lips, his eyes glittering with a predatory light that sent a shiver down Adrian’s spine. "Oh, did you think we were done?"
Adrian’s heart stuttered, his mind reeling as he tried to process what Knox was implying. "I… I mean, I don’t?—"
Knox cut him off with a kiss, his lips silencing any further protests. Adrian melted into the kiss, his fears and doubts momentarily forgotten as Knox’s lips moved against his.
"Now that you’ve truly opened up to me, we can really start." Knox’s voice was a low purr, sending a thrill through Adrian.
"I… what do you mean?" Adrian asked, but before he could even begin to worry, Knox’s eyes glowed with a molten gold light and the room around them shimmered. A moment later, the walls disappeared to reveal a grassy hilltop under a starry night sky.
Adrian knew he’d been pulled into an illusion, but that didn’t temper the sense of wonder he felt.
Knox rose, fully naked, and Adrian’s breath caught in his throat as he took in the sight of the demon in his full glory. He was a vision of masculine beauty, his horns poking out of his hair, his strong frame accentuated by the soft light of the moon and his cock standing up proudly.
And what a cock it was…
Adrian swallowed, his own spent cock twitching.
Fuck it. Knox was hot.
With a smile, the demon wandered over to a tree and sat with his back against it. He held out a hand, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of desire and something softer, something that made Adrian’s heart skip a beat. "Come here."
Adrian stepped forward, his gaze never leaving Knox’s as he closed the distance between them. The grass tickled his bare feet as he moved.
