His gaze lingered on my lips as if possessed by them.

“So, you’re not angry I don’t tell you everything?” I asked and he shook his head.

“And, you actually like that I’m defiant and don’t obey your every command?” I cocked my head to the left, unsure.

“You are the only one I would ever allow to truly defy my wishes.” He seized me, wrapping his arms around me like a straight jacket. “I don’t want to put out your fire. I’m not afraid of getting burned by you, Sunny. As a matter of fact, the power hidden in your flame thrills me. Knowing that you and you alone have power over me sets my heart ablaze for you.”

He was not like any other alpha I ever met. Most alphas wanted to control your every move and thought, but Malek was different. He respected me in ways I never had been before.

My heart raced uncontrollably as heat ravaged through me like a brush fire. How could this demon prompt such desire in me? My every nerve ending ached, no, begged for his touch.

As our eyes locked, one thing became abundantly clear. All my defenses bent in the face of his grace. His vulnerability intrigued me, drawing me to him on a cellular level. Every word he spoke made me feel more adored, drawing me to him like parched lips to water.

Every inch of my aching body believed it belonged to him and demanded more. My expression voiced my ravenous hunger.

Clearly, he felt the same as twin flames lit up beneath his pupils. His large muscles flexed as his inner beast surged to life within him.

“I need you.” He roared animalistically, and unable to hold himself back any longer, he pounced, drawing me into his lap.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

LIVY

His lips trapped mine like a warrior would his prey. Starting out as a gentle suck and scaling up to a savage flurry of nibbles and erotic sucking, Malek brought me to my knees and shook me to my core.

His kiss was so intoxicating, I drank in his scrumptious scent like fine wine. He smelled of warm spice and sugar.

His fingers delicately caressed my thighs as he caged me in his lap. My sleek pussy spasmed as Malek’s erection pressed into my leg, fueling my lust.

Malek’s claws scraped along my thigh, sending swirls of heat dancing over my skin.

“Mine,” he whispered, tickling his lips against mine. “I will never lose you again.”

My toes curled as the primal part of me reveled in how much he wanted me. The more possessive he became, the hotter my flaming need grew and I yearned to be touched by him.

“Do you know how many nights I’ve dreamed of this?” He licked at my lips, opening them. His tongue surged into my mouth like a hurricane. It clashed with my tongue, dominating it and bending it to submission. My tongue fought back in a hot and sexy game for power.

My body trembled above his as his majestic essence poured through me. His hand cupped my breast and to my delight, he squeezed the nipple, twisting it in ways that made me see colors. The heat he prompted in me was maddening, my face felt like an oven as his tongue continued conquering new territory in the back of my throat.

The more his tongue twisted with mine, the more I imagined our naked bodies doing the same. His cock hardened further, now grinding up under my thigh like a steel pipe. He twisted my nipple again, and I cried from pleasure.

“I love to hear your moaning. It’s the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard,” he said.

He kissed me again, tasting me even deeper and this time not stopping for over a minute.

I gasped for air, and he smiled at me wickedly, visibly pleased that he’d managed to suck all the air out of me so thoroughly.

“There’s no woman in this world, whether demoness, wolf, mage or human who is made for me but you.” He nestled his face in my neck, sniffing me before scraping his fangs over my tender flesh.

My heart did a backflip and I rubbed myself against him, just to heighten the sensation.

“Do you hear me, Sunny?” he snatched my face with both palms. “I do not care that I am not your fated mate. None of that matters. What does fate know compared to what my heart knows? Nothing.” His voice was low, raspy and so dangerously seductive my nipples begged to feel his harsh kiss and his bite.

Malek hadn’t brought up my matehood or the demi-gods since I’d arrived. Just hearing the word ‘mate’ stirred up strange feelings inside me. Chasten, Blake and Payton’s faces oscillated around my mind like a merry-go-round. They were my mates and while I was with them, so many emotions were awakened, emotions I had forced myself to forget.

They lied to me. They killed my parents and I barely escaped with my life. So why did a whisper of regret sound when he brought them up?

Malek searched for me for years. He’d always been the one protecting me, helping me. He never victimized me, all he’d ever shown me was love.
