He jolts up and pulls my legs around his waist. He shoves his forked tongue into my mouth as he fucks me harder. With one cockhead buried deep inside my pussy, the other one still teases the tip of my anus while his tail tightens around my throat. Every inch of me is possessed, constricted, and consumed by him.

He tastes like smoke and honey. Like hell and heaven wrapped into one. I explore his hot mouth hungrily, desperate to swallow every ounce of his essence. No one tastes like Nox. No one feels like him. I am fragile, wrapped inside his massive frame.My delicious monster.

“Hold on, dark one. I’m going deeper.” He thrusts his second cockhead past the threshold of my anus, inching it farther in.

I gasp and grab onto his horns. “Oh, fuck… Nox. Fuck.”

“Relax. Let me in.” He reaches around and spreads my ass cheeks open wide. He slides deeper in, filling me so full in both holes.

An explosion erupts in my core, blurring my vision. I buck and ride him harder, grinding my hips against his like a wild animal.

“That’s it. Cum hard for me. Drench me with every fucking drop.” He grunts as his cockheads swell and pulse against my folds.

Tears stream down my cheeks as all the blood rushes to my center. The tingles spread to every inch of me, shattering my sanity, destroying every ounce of my soul.

“Nox,” I cry out.

I feel his chest rumbling, vibrating against mine as he fills me with liquid. “You’re not a greedy slut, Mia. You’re the devil’s whore.My whorewho makes me cum so fucking hard.”

His words push me over the edge again, and a second orgasm rips through me. “Fuck,” I scream. I’m drowning in his thick cream. It oozes from my ass and my pussy, dripping down my thighs and soaking the mattress.

I stay sitting on him, not wanting to separate our bodies. My pussy trembles. I take shallow breaths as I ride out each spasm. “But what if I’m their whore too?” I say on a breath.

His tail constricts around my throat. “I hate it, but I will never deny you your desires.”

I press my forehead to his, my hands still around his boned horns. “Then my sins will be the fucking death of me.”

His cocks pulse inside me. “There is no life without sin. No human is free from it. Those who claim to be the most pious are the biggest sinners of all. The most dangerous. Steer clear of the self-proclaimed saints, dark one. They cause nothing but destruction in the name of their gods. And they will be the death of everything.”

Nox is a mystery, a paradox of ancient DNA, myth, and urban legend. When he’s not speaking in riddles, he makes more logical sense than any scholar I’ve ever read.

I kiss his cheek, relishing the way his soft skin feels against my lips. The ache in my chest is for him tonight. It overwhelms me. He’s the closest thing to love that I’ve ever had. And it scares the fuck out of me. “Be patient with me. I’m close.”

He brushes my hair back. “All I have is time and my love for you. Here or up there, it doesn’t matter. In every world and every lifetime,you are mine.”

I nod and lie down next to him. He pulls me to his chest and caresses my back until I fall asleep.

I slurp curry off my spoon while Lettie reads my grandmother’s letter from across the table. Maybe she can make more sense of it. I’m on edge, full of shame, and looking over my shoulder every five seconds. I haven’t slept in days, and the only thing that’s keeping me going is the hope that someone in this town can tell me who I really am.

She reads it a few times to herself, her lips moving as she skims the page.

Dearest Mia,

It pains me to write these words because if you are reading them, then I am gone from this world. I know you don’t remember me. You were just a baby when you went away.

You must have many questions. Questions I will no longer be able to answer. Especially not in this letter. For, I fear this may fall into the wrong hands. But what you seek is in this town. In Ever Graves. In these very walls of Harker Mansion.

Between the living and the dead, secrets abound. I pray you haveyour father’s cunning and your mother’s heart. I will leave you with this, my final gift to you:

Roses bring Thorns

Night is ever Black

When the shadow comes

The Crane will attack

Heads will roll
