Page 100 of Demon's Mate
“I want everything for you too, Ash. I’m your mate, but you’re mine too. I’m going to take care of you and love you for the rest of time. We’re in this together.”
Ash cleared his throat, blinking away the moisture in his eyes. “I convinced myself I didn’t need anyone, but it was always a lie. I needed you. I needed someone to turn to and share my most private thoughts with. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”
“You won’t be,” Harper promised. “You’re mine, Ash. I’m here for you.”
“Are you ready for this?” Ash had to check one last time, hispulse suddenly racing. “There’s no going back. You’ll need to feed on my blood, and I’ll need to drink yours.”
Harper’s brow furrowed. “There better be no going back. I’m all in. And it’s fine. I had your blood yesterday.”
“But you were unconscious. This will be different. I understand if exchanging blood is hard or makes you uncomfortable.”
A shadow fell across Harper’s face. “I hate the idea of anyone taking my blood, but you aren’t taking it.” He gripped Ash tight. “I’m giving it to you. We’re coming at this as equals, and I trust you. You won’t hurt me.”
Ash’s heart swelled. “No, I won’t. I’ll do you one better and make sure my bite feels as good as my mouth on your hole.”
Harper’s eyes widened. “You can do that?”
“Mm, you’ll see.” Ash picked Harper up and tossed him on the bed. “My lips will only ever feel good against your skin, my fangs too.” He let his fangs drop, climbing onto the bed and spreading Harper’s legs so he could settle between them.
“Show me,” Harper panted, his skin rosy all over and his soft cock starting to fill.
Ash hummed. He hitched one of Harper’s knees, took hold of his aching cock, and rubbed his precum-slick tip against Harper’s tight hole. Harper clenched against him, and Ash groaned.
He rubbed his tip harder against his mate, purring deep in his chest. “I’m going to fuck you, Harper. Fill you with my cum, my magic. Then I’m going to feed you my life force, and when I taste yours, you’re going to see stars.”

HARPER
“Yes, Ash, please,”Harper begged like Ash was denying him and it was the only way to get what he wanted, even though that was far from the truth.
Harper’s cock stiffened as Ash rubbed his cockhead against his sensitive hole. Fuck, Ash should just shove inside, pry him open with that velvety tip, and take him. He wanted it now.
Luckily, Ash had more patience. What Harper’s lust-drunk brain wanted would hurt, and he wasn’t ready for that kind of roughness. Ash leaned over Harper and grabbed the lube from the side table, coating his fingers.
“This hole is mine,” Ash rumbled as he slathered Harper’s rim, slicking him obscenely. “Mine to touch and fuck.”
Harper grabbed his hardening cock and stroked. “Yes. It’s all yours.”
Ash spread his wings, eyes glowing, and pressed a finger inside Harper. His muscles were relaxed from being rimmed in the shower, and Ash slid right in, all the way to his last knuckle.
“So hot for me, mate.” Ash swirled inside Harper, and he squirmed. “My cock belongs in here. Fate made you to take me.”
Pleasure raced down Harper’s spine. He threw his headback on a groan and released his cock before he came. “Fuck. Yes, your cock belongs inside me. I want to be yours. I need you to own me.”
“You’re already mine, Harper.” Ash pumped his finger before adding a second. “I know you can feel it. Look inside.”
Harper gasped as Ash stretched him, but as he adjusted to the sensation, he looked inward.
Feelings of home and safety burned stronger than ever, but beyond that was something else. He felt a loving presence, a warmth so deep he didn’t think he’d ever be cold again. He felt Ash, and the more he opened himself to Ash’s presence, the stronger the link became.
“I feel you,” Harper whispered. Ash’s presence seemed to intensify, bursting with love and pure joy.
“I feel you too, sweet.” Ash gazed down at Harper like he hung the moon.
Harper clenched around Ash’s fingers. He wanted more. More of the connection between them and more of Ash’s body. He wanted to be consumed by it.
Ash worked him open more urgently, like he knew Harper needed it. Given their connection, he probably did. Just as Harper knew Ash’s desire to claim him was soul-consuming.
