A carnal, orgasmic scream tore from my throat as my body spasmed and bucked beneath him and I came so hard that stars burst to life behind my eyelids. My inner walls clenched his cock, eliciting a hiss of pleasure from his sinful mouth.
Still buried deep inside me, Lucifer found his own release.
“Fuck!” he roared as his body jerked with his orgasm. He was magnificent to watch. His teeth gripped his bottom lip and his body quivered with the aftershocks of his release. His eyes found mine and there was such a bright glow in his dark orbs that my heart soared. We collapsed into the rumpled sheets, a mass of tangled limbs and deep heavy breaths. He kissed me tenderly, sucking my tongue and making me mewl in delight as our bodies recovered from the sensual bliss we had just experienced.
I didn’t know how long we lay there, wrapped in each other’s arms, exchanging leisurely kisses and enjoying the feel of each other, but all too soon Lucifer pulled away and I knew our time together was coming to an end.
I traced the lines of his soft pillowy lips as if committing them to memory. “I wish you could stay.”
“I know,” he replied, nibbling the tips of my fingers affectionately. “But that is the cost of my youthful mistakes.”
I smiled. “Oh? Are you much wiser in your old age?”
He smacked my ass playfully. “Watch your mouth. Don’t you know you’re supposed to respect your elders?”
I perched myself up on my elbow, gave him my best devilish scowl and dropped my voice comically low. “You cannot demand respect. Respect is earned, and you haven’t earned mine.”
“Why, you little—” He dived towards me, rolling me beneath him and pinning me under his weight. I squealed in delight and laughed at his playfulness. His own laughter was rich and deep, and my heart threatened to burst at the seams with the sheer joy that it brought. “Tut, tut little dove. What am I going to do with you?”
I wrapped my thighs around his waist, and he hissed out a pleasurable sigh. “I can think of a few things.”
Lucifer chuckled as he pressed a brief kiss against my lips. “You’re insatiable.”
“I can’t help it,” I crooned, smilingly up at him. “You’re just too tempting.”
He kissed me, long and deep. A kiss full of emotion, of promises and carnal pleasures to come. But I knew it was also a kiss of goodbye.
Lucifer pulled back and smiled down at me, but there was a sadness lingering there that wasn’t there before. He was leaving and I couldn’t do anything to keep him here. I knew that to get merely a few minutes with him on the mortal plane, I would have to consume a soul in order to provide our bond with enough energy that he could materialise. And I couldn’t just take a stroll down to Hell, either. Torsten could take me but Lucifer had forbidden it, saying that until he was sure of who was after me, I probably would be safer here. Which seemed like bullshit to me. I couldn’t seem to go anywhere without being attacked, so why couldn’t I go to Hell with Lucifer? I needed to find a way to get to Hell on my own. I was a Sin Reaper; I bet Iveri could help me. Would it be easy or –
“Are you inner-monologuing whilst I’m trying to say goodbye?” Lucifer scowled down at me, but it wasn’t in anger, more like disbelief.
“Um… no?”
A lick of his lips and a shake of his head. “Stop lying to me. You know I can’t resist the taste of them.”
Maybe I should lie to him more often. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
I felt his growing desire press against my thigh and a saucy grin spread across my face.
“What a wicked game you play,” he growled.
“I seem to have an excellent teacher when it comes to temptation.”
He leant down, hovering his mouth just above my ear. “Darling, you ain’t seen nothing yet.” He licked up the column of my neck and ground his hips into mine. My eyes rolled back into my head as goosebumps erupted along my skin. I bit back a moan. He took my earlobe between his teeth and gave it a playful bite. My heart rate picked up at the sharp sting he left behind. God, I wanted more.
His lips found the soft shell of my ear. “I’ll be seeing you soon, my sweet.”
Wait. What?
I opened my eyes and found he’d vanished. He’d fucking played my body like a master musician and left me wanting. I groaned in vexation and fell back onto the bed, furiously planning how to get my own back on the Devil.
Chapter 14
LORI
It was my last lesson with Fenris before my new all-powerful, super awesome tutor arrived tomorrow and I was determined to make the most of it. She was bound to be old and hideous and really mean and nothing like Fenris.
Maybe that was unfair. I was already disposed to disliking her; casting her as a nasty old crone in my mind was probably a step too far. Or maybe I was just feeling a bit down after Lucifer had left. I missed him. Having him within arm’s reach, even for just a day, and then losing him to the Under Realm again had really made my heart feel impossibly heavy in my chest. I felt lonely, and like I was constantly aware that something was missing from my life. I could feel that the bond between us was stronger now that we had slept together. Which I still couldn’t get my head around. I had fucked the Devil. Not only had I fucked the Devil, but I’d also enjoyed it and now I wanted more. Lots more. Well, it was probably a good thing we were tied together for all eternity. Or until one of us died.
