Page 29 of My Demon Mate

I laugh, leaning back against the head rest as I take his bloody hand in mine. What am I going to do about my demon?

CHAPTER 11

RAVEN

Lucifer help me, Everest watching me work tonight was the highlight of my existence. His eyes glued to my back were like a physical thing, making warmth bloom all over my body. I thought when he saw my demon form, he would be afraid, even though he was curious of what I looked like. But he drank me in with wide, curious eyes, never giving the slightest indication that he would run.

The smile that is gracing his face now … I cannot get enough. He still has the weight of his mistreatment bogging him down, but I took out the latest piece of shit that thought Everest an easy target. My hearts thump in my chest thinking of how I avenged my mate. Knowing that one of the men that made his life hell is dispatched pleases me. Even though he had murderous thoughts and asked me to kill for him, I did not think Everest would want to go through with it. He is so sweet, not wanting to hurt anyone like he has been hurt. The shock that flowed through me when he said he wanted Mitch dead directly contributed to a raging hard on.

“What will happen to him?” Everest asks with the same serene smile on his face. I close my eyes for a moment, focusing in on his emotions. I want to know if he is putting on a brave front for me about the killing but secretly regrets it.

I find not a shred of regret in Everest’s emotions. What I feel most strongly is relief. Everest’s entire being is radiating with it. Judging from his feelings now, I do not know how much longer he would have survived being at these monsters’ mercy. I will always be thankful that he summoned me.

Opening my eyes—my assessment of his emotions took mere seconds, and I would have prevented a crash, even though Everest would not have been hurt if we were to get into an accident—I glance at him and wink. “He will be found tomorrow if you want him to. If not, I can go back and clean things up.”

“No. Let the cops find him. I want that chapter in my life closed.”

“Whatever you want, baby.”

He sends me a hearts-stopping smile and I want in him, now. I press my foot harder on the accelerator, wanting us to be home and in bed. The best way to end a night like tonight is for my cock to be lodged deeply inside Everest’s tight asshole.

“Can I tell you something funny?” Everest asks, eyes closed as he leans back against the headrest.

“Sure.”

“I thought you’d have hooves. Since, you know, humans think demons have hooves.” He chuckles, and I can’t help but join in.

“None of that is true. My anatomy is almost the same as yours. Except I have two hearts. My hands are about the same, but I have three knuckles instead of two. And this happens.” I change my hand back to my demon form and extend my claws. Everest’s gasp fills the tight confines of the car. “But other than that, we are the same.”

Everest grabs my hand, gently touching my claws. “And you have an extra appendage that comes out of your cock.”

I bark a laugh. “Not an appendage. Just a knot. I can show you before I come sometime, if you want to see.”

He grins, still running his fingers over mine. “I want to see everything if it has to do with you.” Then he looks up at me sharply. “You have two hearts? Why?”

I shrug, pulling into the driveway. “I am not sure. Why do humans only have one?”

His laugh of merriment is like a balm over my soul, and I grin at him as I put the car in park. “Yeah, that was a stupid question. I just thought you’d know. Are they side by side or…?”

After removing our seatbelts, I take his hand and lay it upon my chest so he can feel the thump of my heart on the left side. Then I move it over to the right side. His eyes grow wide when he feels the same heavy thump there too. “I didn’t think you’d have two hearts in this body too. That’s so strange, but I love it.”

I am not sure why either. As far as I knew, my body would conform to that of a human. Well, that did not hold true for my knot, so maybe laws of anatomy do not apply.

I shrug, then kiss him quickly. That quick kiss turns deeper, more desperate. I thread my fingers in his hair and pull him across the seat until he is straddling my lap. It is a tight fit, since this car is not especially big and my bulk makes it seem even smaller.

Everest does not seem to mind. He contorts himself to fit across my body, melding his mouth and chest to mine. He moans softly, his hands roaming over me in an unhurried rhythm.

I wish I could take him now. Even if I summoned lube, it would be almost impossible to get that tight hole ready for me and even harder to slide inside him. Besides, I want Everest laid out on the bed where I can enjoy all of him. When I am finally sated and have had enough of Everest, we can have a quick fuck.

In another three or so hundred years.

Gently pulling him away, I give him a long look, noticing the blood still staining his face. “You are unbelievably hot with blood on you.”

Everest blushes as he ducks his eyes. “I can’t believe it actually happened. Mitch is dead. He’ll never make another day in my life a living hell again.”

“Hey,” I chide jokingly. “I will have you know hell is nice.”

He chuckles, kissing me quickly and maneuvering off my lap to sit back in the passenger seat. “I can’t wait to see. We can stay for a while, right?”
