His sharp teeth glint in the light as his lips tilt in a smirk.

“In that case, do you want me to do it right here?”

He unzips his pants and pulls them down, slipping outhis length as he pumps himself.

“Want me to come all over those pretty tits and that face that says it’s just as pissed off with me as it is turned on?”

“Only if you swear not to hold back.”

I don’t dare look down at his cock in his hand, already knowing it’s impressive and not wanting to lose my bravado. If he sees me falter, he’ll back down, and I don’t want that.

I want him to claim me.

I want the demon that looks at me like a meal to be devoured and a treasure to hold close. A burning builds within me that I can’t explain. The need to go to him is so fierce, it’s as if a tether is pulling me to his flesh.

“And what if you cannot handle me?” His finger trails across my collarbone before his long nails snip the strap of my dress.

It falls to the floor, exposing my breasts. He brings the sharpened ends of his talons there, nicking the tip and causing a moan of pleasure to escape me.

“I can handle anything you’re willing to give,” I say breathlessly. “And I think it’s about time you stopped looking at me like a broken toy and more like the woman I know I am.”

He chuckles, the sound making my nipples pebble even more. “Oh, my love, I know you’re not broken. But you will be when I’m through with you.”

Pushing up on my tiptoes, he bends to meet me. I allow our lips to brush as I whisper, “Prove it.”

His eyes widen before he lifts me in the air by my throat. It’s not forceful, just enough that he’s showing me his strength, and I revel in it.

“We’re going to play a little game, Ev. On the count ofthree, I want you to run. I will be the monster you’ve asked for, so long as you swear you will tell me to stop if he becomes too much.”

“I swear,” I say as adrenaline and excitement fill me.

My demon can smell that too, his nostrils flaring as his body trembles. He presses his lips to mine and then pulls back, setting me back down on my feet before squeezing his hand just a little.

“One.”

“Two,” I taunt.

He lets go of me to back up with one foot, hunkering down as if he were an animal about to give chase. I think I quite like being the prey when he looks at me like this.

I glance down and get a brief glimpse of his rock hard cock. It has what looks like rings around the base and round swollen marks along the top. My legs clench together briefly as arousal like I’ve never felt before rolls through my body.

“Three.”

Adrenaline courses through me as I dash out of our tent, heading for the wooded path Eryx and I walked earlier.

The lack of shoes helps me to control the sound of my steps, making me silent as I creep along the path, using the trees around me as a covering.

But the mark on my arm begins to ache the further away I get, and I worry that something could have gone wrong.

A tall tree twists up from the base, creating a small hiding space where it meets the ground. I push myself into it as excitement lights up my veins. Even if I have doubts about his monster of a cock fitting inside of me, I can already feel how wet I am.

I hear him getting closer, and the ache in my arm begins to subside. There must be something more to this deal we made that doesn’t want me getting far from him.

Maybe it has to do with him vowing to protect me, and I guess it would be hard to do that if I weren’t close to him. Setting that thought aside to ask him about later, I refocus on our little game.

A growl pierces the silence, so close that I hold my breath in anticipation.

“I can smell your lust, Love. Why don’t you come out here and let me help you with that?”
