The scent of joy and happiness radiates from her when the crowd cheers as she stretches to a new position, her legs opening wide and her body bending as if it were a piece of art itself. But there is another emotion mixed in there as well, one I cannot quite put my finger on.

People make deals by the dozens, and I lure them back to the door to exit the tent once it’s sealed. Just as the last person is sealing the deal, signing an invisible document in their mind with the help of my powers, Evolet whimpers.

My perfect seductress.

I lose focus the minute he signs and practically push him out of the room so that I can go to her. And that’s when the scent registers.Arousal.

“Are you enjoying the performance, Love?” I question, running a finger over her collarbone. She smiles up at me, her cheeks pink.

“I think you know I am.”

With my control focused back on her, I tighten the rope between her legs, adding pressure to her clit. She’s standing with one leg tied up, a suspension bar above her keeping her balanced while she leans forward. I reach up and push on the rope, causing a rocking motion that puts tension between her legs.

Evolet’s eyes close, and her breathing turns into quick and shallow pants. Her scent fills the room, making me grow hard as I watch her try to use the leverage she has with her single foot so that she can rock into the rope with her hips.

“Eryx,” she whimpers.

“Tell me what you need, Love. Do you need to come?”

Her eyes fly open. “I’ve never– I…I’m a virgin.”

My cock twitches in my pants, and the thin control I had over not claiming my mate threatens to shatter. With the might of fucking Hercules, I push that instinct down until I can take a steadying breath.

“Let your body take what it desires, Ev.”

Pushing on the rope, I help it tighten a little more before loosening it, then repeating the action. Her hips thrust forwards, searching, begging.

“The people–”

“Have all left.”

She looks around, realizing the act is over. It’s just us here now. None of the spies lurking, no more deals to be made, no more souls to take.

Training my focus on the fire, it bursts to life around us, encasing us in an impenetrable wall no human could survive and very few demons could fight through.

If she cannot bear to change in front of me, I want her to know that she can have privacy. Just so long as I’m involved, of course.

“It’s just us, Love.” I create more tension with the rope, allowing her to rock into it with a little more force. “Take what you need.”

She obeys beautifully, listening to her body. Twisting and bending to take exactly what she wants, I witness the most arousing thing to ever happen in my presence. I see the moment that everything starts to come together for her. Tilting her chin, I transform into my demon form to steal a kiss as she falls apart.

Swallowing her cries, I undulate her body so that she can take every last ounce of the pleasure shedeserves from it. Flames dance across her skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake as she shivers.

Forcing the fire to burn through the rope, all of it falls away in an instant, and she sags into my arms. I retract my claws as I lift her close and cradle her to my chest to head back to our room.

“How did you like the performance?” I ask, grinning while the ether remakes her clothing into the t-shirt I had on earlier and some shorts.

Her arms wrap around my neck as she buries her face in my shoulder and inhales my scent.

“I think I liked it a little too much.”

“Nonsense,” I say as I open our tent door and step inside our space. “You deserve all of the pleasure in the world.”

Chapter 7

When Eryx suggested a walk, I thought back to walks with my keeper. How she would hound me when I wasn’t fast enough and scream my name when I was too quick.

The idea had me nervous at first, but Eryx has never treated me like that. So, I put on my big girl panties and decided it was time for an adventure with my demon.
