If I were some succubus, sexual energy could be converted into magic. From what I knew of the Succubi, it had to be someoneelse’ssexual energy, which made that particular breed of demons very popular at my school.
They could often be found giving head behind the bleachers, but they came with their own set of dangers. They were extremely lethal if untrained; even then, I wouldn’t have wanted to be on the receiving end of one.
Except, when I kissed Raze, I was the one whose heart jumped in my chest with excitement. His warmth made my lips tingle, and it felt soright.
Maybe Eli was right. I was some sort of succubus hybrid, allowing me to transform any sexual energy into magic—even if the sexual energy was my own.
Forcing myself to lean away, I held my breath to see if it worked.
The darkness hallowing Raze’s cheeks ebbed where my lips had touched him.
“Are you feeling that?” I asked him, but he didn’t move. Instead, his body seemed intent on remembering how to breathe.
A slight wheeze sounded every time he took a breath.
I needed to do something, and I needed to do it fast.
Biting my lip, I briefly took my hand away and hurried to the desk where the bi-colored male had left the supplies.
Raze groaned from behind me, urging me to hurry. I opened the box and grabbed the surprisingly human items.
Collecting a bottle of alcohol with a white label, scissors, needle and thread, and bandages, I rushed back to Raze, only to find him doubled over as he cried out in pain.
“Raze!” I shouted, dropping everything to the floor.
His ruby eyes shot open and blazed with heat. “Kiss me,” he demanded, making my eyes go wide.
Did he know what I was doing?
Perhaps. Otherwise, it was a pretty odd request to make while he was clearly dying. The dark poison had returned with a vengeance, seemingly taking advantage of my absence as it devoured his body.
The glorious light from his eyes flickered and dimmed, and I knew what I had to do.
I closed the gap between us and slammed my mouth against his.
Even though I was inexperienced, I opened for him and allowed his tongue to slip inside.
He tasted like cherries and caramel.
Mmm.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I felt the cold poison draw into my body.
It didn’t seem to impact me as much as it did him, so I deepened the kiss, breathing him in as if he was my oxygen.
He slowly went still as he fell asleep. Reluctantly, I pulled away, relieved to find him back to normal.
Yet now, I was the one in pain. I’d taken all of the poison out of him.
And put it into myself.
Heat transfer,I mused as I groaned and flopped over onto the other bed.
Raze would survive.
But would I?
ELI
