When he finally sped up, I groaned loudly, fisting the sheets as he slammed into me again and again, the head of his cock brushing against my prostate with each thrust.
Like he'd predicted, it didn't take him long to spill inside me, and I was right there with him, coating the sheets with my cum.
I moaned long and loud into the sheets as I came, as I felt his warm cum fill me. Archer kept moving as he came, thrusting into me until he hissed, and slowly slid out of me.
Clenching tight to keep his cum from escaping—I loved feeling it inside me, loved knowing that I had a part of Archer inside me—I turned around on my back, then grabbed Archer around his torso, pulling him onto the bed as he exclaimed in surprise. He really needed to get used to my superior strength, because I loved manhandling him.
"Wow," Archer said as he lay beside me, and I turned on my side, wrapping my arms and legs around him until he was surrounded by me. The smile on his face said he didn't mind, and I grinned as his brown eyes flickered up to meet mine.
"Yeah, wow sounds about right. Do you think it will always feel like this?" I gave him a light squeeze.
"I think so. I can't imagine it evernot."
"Me too."
We were quiet for a while, and I breathed in deeply with my nose buried in Archer's hair. He smelled of sweat and sex, and that sweet, sweet Archer smell, and I couldn't get enough of it. My senses were much more heightened in this form, and I wanted to take my time sniffing each and every inch of him. I wondered if he'd find that weird.
"You know, you should stay in your true form when we're at home and it's just the three of us," Archer said, then blinked rapidly. "If that's something you'd like, I mean."
I pulled back so I could look at him better, wondering if he'd made the offer for my sake or his. My demon form was big, and it'd be in the way. This house wasn't built for someone my size.
"What if I destroy more of your things? Like the bed?"
Archer raised a brow at me, then glanced at the blemish-free frame. "You mean the bed you repaired a second later?"
Sighing, I ran my palm over my face, then gave him a sheepish grin. "I suppose that was a dumb excuse, huh?"
"If you don't want to stay in this form, you don't need an excuse to say no, Lux. I'd never ask you to do something you felt uncomfortable with." Archer's gaze burrowed into mine as he spoke, as if he wanted me to see how sincere he was. "I just got the feeling that you feel more like yourself in this form, which is why I suggested it."
"I do." My gaze flickered away from him before I forced myself to look back at him. "I prefer this form over my humanone, though it has its uses. I guess I'm just worried you might someday realize I'm a monster and it won't end well."
"Hey!" Archer protested, sitting up and then straddling me. He cupped my face between his hands, and leaned down until our eyes were inches apart, until all I could see was him. "You're not a monster. You're so opposite of a monster that the comparison is laughable. What you are is an amazing demon so full of love you're nice to everyone. Except anyone who tries to hurt me or Gunner, of course." He grinned, making me laugh despite the growing lump in my throat. "You're a wonderful man, Lux, and the best partner I could've ever asked for. You're also an amazing dad, and I'm very much looking forward to raising Gunner with you."
Leaning closer, Archer pressed his lips to my closed mouth before pulling back, a small smile on his lips. "I love you, Calux. I never thought I'd find someone to love, someone I'd want to be with for more than a night. Someone with whom I'd want to raise Gunner. But I found everything I was never even looking for in you. And I'm so grateful for that."
I was a big bad demon, and I wasnotgoing to cry.
Clearing my throat, I said the only words that were ringing in my mind on a constant loop as I gazed up at the amazing man Fate had paired me with.
"I love you too, Archer. More than anything in the world." Well, maybe except Gunner, but the love I had for him was very different to the love I felt for Archer, so I thought it was okay to say that.
Archer smiled, leaned down to kiss my mouth once more, then settled beside me. I wrapped my arms tightly around him, ready to hold him for as long as I could.
Closing my eyes, I dreamed of doing just this years from now, maybe with loud music blaring from a teenage Gunner's room, and Archer threatening to destroy his speakers if he didn't turnit off until I'd step in with a silencing ward that'd make everyone happy.
I couldn't wait.
Epilogue
A Few Weeks Later
Lux
"You know, Gunner. Whenyour dada gets home, we should watch a movie together. I heard there's a new animated one out that all the kids love. Would you like to see it?" I asked as I scooped up some baby food and held the spoon out to Gunner. He'd just hit the ten-month-old mark, and I'd recently started saying the word to get him familiar with it. He'd said a few'words' so far, like "La-la" and "Ba-ba," so I was hoping I could get him to say "Dada" soon.
He squinted at it, then opened his mouth wide, and I flew the spoon in, making dragon noises that always made him clap with glee. He snapped his mouth shut around the spoon, and I pulled it out, rolling my eyes as he dramatically snapped his mouth open and close. I had a feeling he was copying the dragon we'd seen in an animated movie the other day.
Gunner was an especially bright kid, and I was sure he was going to grow up and do wonderful, world-changing things.
