His fingers withdrew immediately, a dark chuckle filling the air. “Be careful what you wish for, little angel.”

Then he was pushing inside me.

Fuck.My fingers scrabbled against the wall as my body fought the intrusion. I hadn’t bottomed in a very long time; decades, in fact. The few times I had, their size had nothing on Nox.

I’d expected him to keep pushing. To force me to take him. But he didn’t. He froze, his hands going to my hips with surprising gentleness. “Relax, little angel. Let me in.”

I gritted my teeth and bore down. Nox didn’t move, just stood and waited for my body to make room for him. Slowly, I was able to push back on him. Inch by inch, until he bottomed out.

“That’s it, little angel.” He praised me, stroking circles on my hips. “Take all of me.”

His tone was too tender. His touch too gentle. I hated it. It was too much. My heart, already in pieces, couldn’t take it.

“This is fucking me like you hate me? Gotta say, I’m kind of disappointed.”

His hands stopped in their movements as I felt his gaze burn into the back of my neck. “And that’s what you want, little angel?”

I swallowed hard. His nickname had been insulting at first, but now…I wasn’t so sure. “Yes. Get on with it or we can call it a night. I’m sure one of those blokes you were dancing with is still around. No doubt one or both will bend over for you.”

Nox snarled, wrapping his hand around my throat. There was nothing gentle or careful about his hold now. If I were human, it might even have been fatal.

“Why would I need them when you’re already doing it for me?”

I didn’t get a chance to reply. Nox retreated almost to the hilt, before thrusting back in. The air was forced from my lungs on a loud moan. I barely had time to drag in another before Nox repeated the movement.

“This what you want, angel?” Nox snarled, fucking me hard and fast. “To be taken like the debauched fucker you secretly are?”

“Yesss,” I moaned, my cheek scraping against the wall. “Do it. Take me.”

He pushed against my back, trying to get me to lean further forward. Pain lanced through me from my wounds. I bit back a scream, more thankful than ever that my face was hidden.

I could be an exceptional actor when required, but even I couldn’t have hidden the agony that him touching my wounds had caused.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long. How could it, with all my nerve endings singing with pleasure? I put my hands on the wall and used them to shove back on Nox, meeting him thrust for thrust. This new position had him hitting my prostate dead on. My teeth were rattling in my head with how hard Nox was fucking me.

I’d never felt better. Freer.

The weight on my shoulders melted away until there was nothing apart from Nox and how he was making me feel.

I’d experienced all the pleasures Heaven could offer, but it had nothing on this moment.

That thought had my eyes snapping open. What was I doing? It was just supposed to be sex. Nox wasn’t for me. It didn’t matter what fate thought; he’dneverbe mine.

Suddenly keen to get this over with and return to my reality, I lifted a hand from the wall and curled it around my cock.

“Yes, little angel,” Nox moaned from behind me. “Touch yourself. Say my name while you come. Let everyone hear you.”

My hand was flying over my shaft now, my orgasm building with terrifying intensity. I gritted my teeth, planning on denying him his wish. I’d be silent as I came, reminding him he was nothing more to me than an easy way to get off.

That would’ve been super effective…if I’d managed to pull it off.

“Nox!” His name echoed into the night as my cum decorated the bricks in front of me.

He groaned, thrusting to the hilt. His seed filled me, making me more grateful than ever that supes didn’t need to use condoms. His fingers were biting into my hips so hard that they’d have left bruises if I were human.

For the first time ever, I wished I was. Not only because I’d have a physical memory of this night for a little longer, but because my life would have been easier if I were human. No unit to be responsible for. No fated mates. No higher-ups waiting for me to fuck up so they could hold my immortality over my head once again.

But I wasn’t human.
