“Like my next breath.”

“Then take it. Make me forget.”

CHAPTERELEVEN

CHARLES

Prior to today, I didn’t know I’d have a fetish for demon horns. But here I am, stroking the ones on Dave’s head and rejoicing as they keep growing.

And when I tell him to take me, the growl from deep in his chest sends a wave of lust so strong through my body, I fear I’ll come as soon as he touches me. Matthew never looked at me the way Dave is now and for the first time, I feel like I’m wanted for me and not just because I’m convenient.

After weeks of being an asshole and indulging in everything ever denied me, the admission that I was running from the pain of a broken heart is shocking even to me. I knew I was hurting, but that’s a truth I never wanted to admit. That Matthew had that kind of hold on me to send me into such a spiral was safer if I just ignored it.

I’m told the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. Or I read it. Either way, at this moment, it’s a solid plan.

Dave’s hands are warm, bordering on hot, and as he smooths them under my shirt to pull it off, I gasp when his palms linger on my sensitive nipples.

“Shit. It feels like you laid a hot pack on my entire body.”

“Oh, I should have warned you. Are you too hot? When I’m turned on, I uh, heat up.”

Ah, fuck, that bashful smile is everything.

“No, I’m fine. Fantastic actually.”

He pauses and in his blue eyes, a flicker dances before he lowers his lips to my exposed skin.

“Ohmymotherofgod.”

Dave’s lips are possessed. They have to be. Every kiss and every nip or lick against me sends little bursts of pleasure through my entire body. It’s like a million tiny lightning bolts.

His lips curve against my skin in a smile as he makes quick work of the zipper of my pants.

“Still no god here, Chuck. Just you and me.”

His throaty chuckle mixes with my laboured breathing as he palms my cock through my briefs.

“You’re always ready for it, aren’t you, Chuck?”

“It seems that way doesn’t it? Maybe it’s just you.”

Sliding the rest of my clothes off, my cock lays heavy against my stomach and he sits back to stare at my complete nakedness.

“If you hadn’t imagined me the other night, I probably would have found you on my own, you know. You’re beautiful and insatiable. A heady combination for a guy like me.”

Swallowing, I bite my lip as he stands and sheds the rest of his clothes. He looks even better than the first time I saw him naked. But this time those giant horns on his head are bigger and his cock… well, there’s no way that’s going in me. I struggled to get it in my mouth. My ass isn’t ready for that. At least, not right now.

“I told you not to worry, Chuck. I won’t hurt you and you’re right. Your ass isn’t ready for it.”

“This whole reading my mind thing is creepy and a little unfair.”

Dave laughs again and I smile as he lowers himself next to me.

“It’s not my fault. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. But let’s talk about that later. Right now, just know, I’m here for your pleasure. You want me to help you forget, then that’s what I’ll do.”

“It’s hard to forget everything when you have horns in my face.”

“Fair. But Chuck? Can you touch them like you did before? Don’t be afraid of them.”
