“Youcome for me,Monstrum Meum.”

Her walls tighten around me, pulling me in even deeper and making me growl with a pleasure so intense that I fall over on top of her. I come hard, burying my seed deep within her as she dissolves into ecstasy beneath me.

Sweat beads on my brow as I lift my face, taking her lips one final time before rolling us on our sides to face each other. One of her hands strokes through my hair then cups my face.

“I never knew I could love a monster, but you’re not just any monster, are you?”

I take her hand in mine, pressing a kiss to her flesh that only the tenderest of beings could deliver.

“No, my love. I am yours. Your monster. Forever.”

“Forever,” she agrees, and the magic hovering over us like the stars in the sky twinkles away, seeming to absorb into everything around us before disappearing altogether.

The marks on our arms glows before settling into the deepest of blacks, and Evolet smiles at me.

“Is it normal for me to like the taste of blood?”

I chuckle, loving how full of questions she always seems to be.

“It is normal for mates to recharge each other’s magic by offering for the other to drink from them.”

“I think I can feel it.”

Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, I run a finger over her soft, warm cheek. “What’s that?”

“The magic.Mymagic.”

I roll her on top of me and she melts into my embrace.

“The magic has always been within you, Love. We will find a way to teach you to harness it, and you will be unstoppable.”

She nods, although worry does cross her face.

“What is it? Don’t hold back now. I’m already bonded to you for eternity.”

She bats at my chest before resting her head over my rapidly beating heart. “Do we have to go to Hell now?”

My hand strokes through her hair, and I keep my claws in, not wanting to hurt her.

“To seal a bond with a demon, we must touch Hell’s soil from my realm and vow our lives to one another aloud.”

She sighs. “Let’s get it over with then.”

Gathering some strength, even though all I wish to do is lie here with my mate and bathe in the feeling of this thrumming bond between us, I get to my feet and pull her along with me.

She pouts and drags her feet but meets me in the center of the room.

“I can teleport us there and back quickly.”

Evolet takes my hands, threading our fingers together. “I trust you.”

Chapter 15

Teleporting in Eryx’s arms is nothing like I could have imagined. I’ve read about fairy tales and magic, and never once did anyone accurately describe this feeling. It’s like weightlessness consumes you before there’s darkness.

Something about it burrows under your skin, a chill cascading over your entire body before spitting you out on the other side. Eryx once said it was like a black hole, a place where everything and nothing exists at once. I have no desire to feel it again the moment we’re on the other side.

A scene I didn’t expect expands before me. A dark forest with red flowers blooming all around in fields as vast and as wide as the eye could see. Rows of roses tinged with black on the edges have me bewitched.
