“Barr! It’s nice to see you again.” Mori gave the strange demon a quick hug. Keren glanced at me as if expecting a prickle of jealousy, except it didn’t follow. The hug was clearly platonic and over in a millisecond. “Damon, meet Barr. He’s the one that portalled to tell us Cody was staying in this hotel.”
Ah, the hellhound. I thought he looked different from the other demons I’d seen. He didn’t have wings for a start, though with his portal power, he didn’tneed them. Mori had told me about some of the different demonkin that lived in the realm. He was as equally fascinated with hellhounds as I was.
“It’s lovely to meet you, Barr. Thanks for getting Mori to Cody so quickly,” I said honestly. “He would have flown all day and night to get to him.” My joke got a little laugh out of the hellhound.
“Oh, it was nothing. His… Mori got me something to eat and gave me a pretty gem. He was very nice to me.” Barr looked around. “Where’s Gregoris?”
Mori’s eyes lit up, genuine excitement to share his gossip clear. “You’ll never believe it, but he met his fated!”
Barr gasped with delight. “By the magic! Such joyful news!”
Okay, so he might have had a crush on my Mori, yet I adored this kid straight away. He was likely a lot older than me, he just acted younger. There was an innocence and sweetness about him the years hadn’t stolen. Unlike me, whose soul was tainted with all the lives I’d taken. What did Mori see in me?
“Isn’t it?” Mori gushed. He was so excitable, like a puppy. “This is Kerensanith, he’s Gregoris’ grandfather.”
They made their greetings while Mori booked us into the hotel. I had asked why they used their full names when introducing each other before. Mori hadsaid it was a sign of trust to give someone your full name. Not doing so when you are introduced is an insult. As such, most demons knew each other’s full names. Unfortunately, it led to accidents, such as how Mori had ended up contracted into Cody’s grandfather’s service.
Barr took the bags from Keren and led us to the elevator. Once again, I was grateful for all the modern conveniences the demon realm had. Magic was pretty cool when it was used like it was there with their use of technology powered by magic.
The hellhound chattered with Mori as we ascended to the top floor. We were staying in the penthouse suite with an adjoining room for Keren, complete with spells to hide some of our emotions, which were going to come in handy. Not that I didn’t want Keren to feed on lust, just not mine or Mori’s.
I scoped out the bathroom, then decided to take a shower to freshen up before we went for an early dinner. Our plan was to explore the city some before coming back to the room. Mori wanting to spend time with me outside of the bedroom was the sweetest thing. It made me feel like this was a relationship, not just two horny people testing their chemistry.
“Hmm, maybe we could order room service,” Mori drawled as he entered the bathroom, finding me naked and wet under the spray.
“Perhaps I want to draw out the anticipation.” I smirked at the gleam in his eyes. He loved this.
“No, I’ll need to feed you before I get you in bed. Wouldn’t want you passing out from hunger. Pleasure, yes, hunger, no.” Mori’s grin was wicked.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to sharing this shower with you.” My eyes roved his body. “Water conservation is important, after all.”
Mori stripped so fast he was a blur. He rounded the shower screen with heat in his eyes and a growing erection.
He touched his lips to mine before kissing down my neck and torso. “Better make this fast so we aren’t wasting water, then.” He got to his knees and licked my shaft from root to tip before sucking on the head.
“Fuck, Mori.” My hands clasped his horns, making Mori moan around my dick. “Ugh,” I groaned as he started to take me deep. His mouth was perfect. Hot, wet and just the right amount of suction. After weeks of almost nothing, I wasn’t going to last long.
Determined to make him feel as good as he was doing to me, I stroked one of his horns and an ear, remembering his reaction to them being touched before.
With a curse, Mori doubled down on his efforts, sucking me harder and faster, head bobbing in time to the movements of his hand on his cock. Damn, thatwas hot. The familiar tingle at the base of my spine signaled I was getting close.
His tail snaked out, running up my thigh, teasing my balls and taint, then around my pucker.
When he breached me, I tensed. No. Not there. My grip tightened on his horns.
“Damon?”
I hadn’t noticed Mori had stopped sucking me. He pulled away and got to his feet.
For a moment, he just searched my face, absently wiping the water from out of my eyes. I wondered what he saw in my expression.
“Sorry, I didn’t…”
“You didn’t know. I just… I can’t, okay? You can touch me anywhere except there. Is that okay?”
“Is that okay? Damon, that’s better than okay. We will only ever do what you want to do. If that’s a boundary for you, then I won’t cross it. I’m just sorry—“
“You didn’t know,” I repeated. “That’s why I top. I can’t—“
