Page 51 of My Demon Manny

Lux grunted in what I took as agreement, and I pulled back to catch my breath, burying my face in the crook of his neck as I spilled between us, a rough groan slipping past my lips as I shuddered through the aftershocks while he continued to fuck me.

Lux went still for a moment before he filled me, his cum hot and thick inside me. He pumped it into me, his hips jerking through his climax as cum started seeping out of my hole. Fuck, that felt good. How had I never known it could feel this good?

Then again, I had a feeling it wouldn't feel like this with anyone else.

When Lux stopped moving, he wrapped his arms around me, and then his tail circled my waist as he surrounded me with his body. I let him hold me like that for a few minutes before the situation between us started getting sticky.

"Uh, Lux?"

Lux hummed in reply, and then a stir of magic removed all traces of cum from between us. I could still feel him inside me, though. His cockandhis cum.

He was being all kinds of possessive and demon-y, and I was surprised to realize I liked it. I really, really liked it.

Twenty-Two

"Do you really haveto go?"

Archer glanced up, his hand still on the satchel zipper, and smiled. "I do. I've been putting off this meeting for months because of Gunner, and if I don't go, we'll lose this client. I promise I'll be back before tomorrow night."

A whole day and night without Archer? I wasn't sure I'd survive. At least I'd still have Gunner with me.

It'd been two weeks since Maya visited, and she hadn't contacted us since. Archer had said the visit had probablyworked as closure for her, and he was quite sure we wouldn't hear from her again.

"I understand," I said, even though I really didn't. I could easily magic up all the money Archer could ever need, but I knew he wouldn't allow it. Archer was an honest man, and most of the time, it was a quality I admired.

"I'll be back before you know it," he said, stepping around the couch and wrapping his arms around my waist. Gunner cooed between us, then reached up to paw at Archer's chin, making me smile.

"See? Gunner doesn't want you to leave either."

"Oh?" Archer raised a brow at me, his lips quirking up in a smile. "I thought he was saying bye-bye. Weren't you, Gunner?"

Gunner gave a shriek, then said "Ba-ba," in utter betrayal, and I shook my head, trying my best not to smile. I was annoyed Archer was leaving, damn it.

"I promise I'll be back as soon as possible," Archer said, then leaned forward to press his lips to mine. I kissed him back, of course. How could I not?

"You better."

Smiling, Archer pressed a kiss on Gunner's forehead, grabbed his satchel, and then left. A few moments later, I heard the garage door open and close, and then he was gone. Tomorrow night couldn't come fast enough.

"Come on, Gun-Gun. It's just you and me now. We're going to have fun, aren't we? Later, we'll video call your dad and make him jealous with all the fun we're having, okay?"

Gunner gave me a wide smile, completely agreeing with my plan. Smiling, I carried him over to his play area, and sat him down before settling beside him cross-legged. Gunner had just hit the nine-months mark, and he'd gotten a lot more active recently. He still hadn't managed to walk without support—I was really hoping it wouldn't happen when Archer wasn't here—buthe could walk along the couch with his hand on it, and he'd also explored most of the living room by now. And his nursery.

With no Archer, I didn't much feel like doing my usual tasks manually. Instead, I was going to spend the whole day with Gunner. I used my magic to make sure all the boring human stuff was done—and to make sure all the baby-proofing I'd done around the house was still in perfect condition—before turning to Gunner.

Gunner was a part of Archer, so I felt closer to him when I was with Gunner. Not that Gunner wasn't a ton of fun all on his own. This little boy and his dad had changed my life in all the best ways, and I loved them both. I hadn't told Archer yet, because I wasn't sure how he felt, and I didn't want to pressure him.

I could tell Gunner though, couldn't I?

"Gunner," I said, and he glanced up, big blue eyes wide and curious. "I love you very much. And I love your dad too, but that's our little secret for now, okay?"

His cheeks dimpled with another smile, and then he held out a toy to me, along with the wise words, "La la la," which I took to mean 'I love you too.'

Smiling, I took the toy from him, and we played together for a while. Playing with a baby was oddly peaceful, but I still needed to shut my brain up or give it something to do instead of missing Archer.

In an attempt to distract myself, I pulled up the demons' chat on my phone. There hadn't been a lot of activity over the past few days, but I was sure someone would reply if I sent a message.
