He kissed me back, but then turned away and sighed. “It’s all too good to be true. I mean, look at me. What if my real nature is trying to come out? What if this change in me is just temporary?”
I trailed my fingers across his cheekbones. “You mean your eyes?” They’d once been silver, but now the red glow reminiscent of the power of Hell and suffering looked back at me. “Does it hurt? I mean, did coming here do anything permanent to you?”
He threaded his fingers through mine, matching my gaze as if he’d just noticed that I wanted to comfort him and touch him and give him everything I had to give. “Just the restoration of some of my memories, I think,” he said as he kissed my knuckles. “And I feel warmer than usual, but it’s not unpleasant.”
I chuckled as I ran my fingers through his hair. The blue flames tickled over my skin, but didn’t burn me. “It’s a cool look. I hope it stays.”
His features softened. “You really aren’t phased by this, are you?”
“No,” I decided. “We’re in Hell, Kaito. Not much can top that, not even you turning out to be a long lost Japanese demon.”
He smiled, and this time it was a real smile that reached his eyes. “Come here,” he whispered and I gladly obeyed, leaning in to taste him and indulge a kiss that made my whole body tingle with energy.
The air warmed all around us as his hands roamed my body, exploring me as if it was the first time. He kissed my face, my neck, and then pulled me over him so that he could bite the cleavage of one of my breasts.
I watched him as he explored me, fascinated by the growing lust in his gaze. My succubus side remained dormant as if sated with all she had indulged, but another part of me responded, one I didn’t expect to come out and play.
My Demonspawn side.
My fingertips turned black and dark lines threaded over my body, betraying the demonic blood that ran through my veins. Embarrassed, I tried to turn away, but Kaito gripped my chin and forced me to look at him. My world hazed over in red and a whimper escaped my throat.
I knew what was happening. Ifeltit on some deep, spiritual level. Being in Hell only brought out the worst in me, just like it was doing to Kaito. I feared I’d lose myself to it if we stayed here for too long.
“Why are you ashamed of this part of you?” Kaito asked, taking one hand to my lower back to pull me closer to him. With my legs spread and only the thin barrier of my underwear between us, I gasped when the erection under his pants offered me delicious pressure.
“I don’t want to be a monster,” I admitted.
He growled, showing teeth that transformed to sharp points and his eyes blazed with blue flames. It should have terrified me.
Instead, it gave me a powerful thrill that made me want to see what would happen next.
“We can be monsters together,” he said on a low rumble as he took my hand and yanked me hard, bringing my face close to his. His free hand worked at his pants zipper and freed his dick. He pushed aside the fabric between us and entered me, making me hiss as wetness coated his cock.
“Kaito,” I said on a gasp.
He guided my hips, rocking me over him as pleasure threatened to block out any formation of thought. The alcohol burning through my body gave the world a pleasant haze as Kaito gave me the illusion of control while he instructed my movements, taking his role as my mentor to a whole new level.
“No more talking,” he demanded, giving his hips a light thrust that made me suck in a breath. “Show me what kind of monster you really are.”
I realized that nothing bad could happen here if I let go. We were already in Hell, so what damage could I possibly do?
“You’re right,” I whispered as I lost myself to the steady beat of the music all around us. The vibrations ran through me and melded with our building pleasure, growing in tempo as I growled and took control over my Virtue.
Claws extended from my fingertips and I showed my teeth as I let go of my guilt, my constant worry, and everything that held me back. All the color leeched from my vision as my world turned black and red, all except for Kaito’s blue flame that ran over him like a silhouette. He threw his head back as I rolled my hips, using him for my pleasure in a way I knew he liked.
He let go of me and braced himself between the wall and the table, giving me all the power.
“Fuck,” he breathed as I worked myself to new heights. While our bodies merged our deeper, darker souls danced, sending black sparks out in all directions that sizzled against the walls. If anyone dared to walk in on us now, I suspected they might burn, but I didn’t care. We were in Hell. Burning was to be expected.
The tattoo along Kaito’s cheek blazed hot and I poured my strength into it. That was the only weakness that could break the seal of this mortal form over his dark, demonic spirit. Kaito had called it a prison, but this was his sanctuary. For once, he could set aside all the things demons craved and live life as a mortal—as one of my Virtues who could redeem their past.
I decided right then and there that I would help Kaito redeem his sins, no matter how bad they might be. If he could be forgiven, then perhaps there would be hope for the Princess of Hell too.
Stinging, fiery red ropes wound around us as I bound us together. I wouldn’t lose him, not to Hell or anything else.
I knew Kaito wanted this, but the darkness in him fought it and he flipped me, slamming me against the table over blue flames that danced across my skin. Our shot glasses shattered and the sickly sweet alcohol evaporated against the heat of our passion and rage.
“Keep going,” he commanded even as he draped one of my legs over his shoulder and rammed into me deep, making me cry out. “Bind me to you,Koneko-chan. Bind me to this life and to your mate-circle forever.”
