Page 18 of Lucian's Soul

Tessa wondered why anyone would want blind people dead. Then she remembered what Lucian said, they could see demons and Angels. “Can any humans figure out what you are? I didn’t know.”

“No, we blend in so we don’t scare people, and it’s easier to feed. No one can…” He trailed off and his face lit up. “My smart mate, of course, why didn’t I see it? The faulty humans are detectors. They are like a built-in warning system.”

Tessa didn’t like Lucian calling the blind and vision impairedfaulty, but she knew he didn’t mean it in a mean way. “I always knew they were special.”

Lucian kissed her head. “They are. It explains why the angels want them all dead. I’ll save them. I like Zane, he’s a good kid.”

“Thank you, Lucian.” Tessa loved him. The fact he took care of her friends while she’d been gone and saw the value in them, had her knowing for a fact that she loved Lucifer the devil.

On Monday, Lucian took Tessa to the OB-GYN. They looked at the babies and measured everything. The doctor was a shifter, so he knew about the accelerated gestation. Lucian tried to prove to Tessa that the babies were boys but they wouldn’t cooperate and show what they were.

“Can I at least do something like, oh I don’t know… organize your files, takes notes, anything?” Tessa glared at him with her arms crossed over her chest. The last four days had been beyond boring. “I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I can’t lay or sit on this couch in your office and read anymore. I’m bored out of my mind. Thank God it’s Friday. Please tell me you’re not working. I swear if I stay cooped up with you or those three babysitters you have for me I will kill you.”

After the incident with Balthazar, he’d made sure she was never alone and when he wasn’t around, she had at least three guards. Not that he let her leave the office or house.

“I won’t work the weekend.”

“Yay!” She stood up and strolled to the desk, placing herself over his lap. She gazed up at him and he should have known she was up to something. “Let’s go out for dinner tonight.” She trailed her fingers up and down his chest. This wasn’t the Tessa he remembered or knew. “I going kinda stir crazy. Please.” She batted her eyelashes and brushed her lips over his.

Lucian felt his whole body start to burn as her touch sent a fiery need within him. His mate was playing with fire. Deciding to test his newfound sex kitten, he stood and sat Tessa on his desk. “What will you give me if I take you out?” He almost laughed out loud when her eyes snapped up to his and he heard her teeth grind.

She must really have had enough. They had spent all week cooped up either at home or at his office—well, Tess had. He’d left to go fighting when she fell asleep for a couple of hours. He didn’t need the required eight hours sleep like humans did, after a couple of hours he could go days without it.

“Come on, Lucian. I know you’re worried about me, but you can’t keep me locked up forever. I promise I won’t run or even cry for help.” She gazed at him with pleading eyes. “You’ve grown on me.” She smirked and inched to the end of the desk, wrapping her legs around his waist.

Trailing his hands down her back, Lucian found the edge of her shirt and yanked it up and over her head, throwing it to the floor. A black frilly maternity bra covered her heaving breasts and her tiny baby belly was hard and round. His cock strained in his pants at the sight of her. Bringing his hands back up, he brought them around and one held her waist, inching her forward as the other trailed the pads of his fingers over her cleavage.

Lucian leaned down and whispered against her ear, “Is that all?”

Tessa’s chest rose and fell faster and her breathing quickened, her sugar smell intoxicating. Her thighs flexed around his waist. “You’ve turned me into a sex crazed woman,” she panted. “Any time you touch m…” Tessa’s voice trailed off as he nibbled on her earlobe. Her hands came up and around his neck, clinging to him.

Lucian preened at the way his mate responded to him. His demon gave him a satisfied nudge, wanting to play. Easing away from Tessa, he used all his strength to untangle and step away from her.

“Fine. Let’s go out to dinner. I’d love to finish this, but we need to get home and organized for a dinner date.” He sighed and tried not to grin at the thunderous expression on Tessa’s face.

“Don’t you dare, Lucifer.” He was shocked she used his original name. “Don’t you dare leave me in this state. I swear I—”

Lucian cut her off by plastering his mouth to hers. He and his demon went crazy at the use of his name on her lips. Tearing at the remainder of her clothes, then yanking and ripping his own off, he meshed their bodies together so her legs and arms surrounded him. He leaned her back and pulled her to the edge, rubbing his cock back and forth over her pussy.

Tessa clawed at him for more and he obliged. He let out his wings and they circled around her, leaving his hands free to explore. Cupping a breast with one and sliding the other down to tease and play with her nub, he nibbled on her lips. His canines came out and he disconnected from her mouth, nibbled his way down and back up her neck.

Tessa bucked in his embrace and begged for more. “Oh, Lucian, I’m so close. More. Please give me more.”

Knowing how close she was to coming this time, he slid his dick in between her folds and sank into her. She let out a deep, pleasure-filled moan. Moving his hands down and around to squeeze her arse, he pulled out and thrust home as her nails dug into his skin. She let out a scream as her release washed over her, her muscles tight around his throbbing cock.

Bringing his wings up, he held her closer to him as he drove into her over and over again. Tessa flung her head back, resting it on his leathery wing. Her fingers raked up and down his abs in time with each driving thrust. Her moans and groans became so loud they blocked out any other noises his super hearing could detect.

Resting his head in the crook of her shoulder, he licked her skin before sucking on it. Her pussy quivered around him at his action and he sucked deeper this time, letting his canines sink in. She screamed in ecstasy as she came again, holding his dick in a vicelike grip as she pulsed around it. Letting himself go, he detached from her neck and roared his release.

He stood panting and she rested in his wings a moment, basking in their bliss. Sex had never felt as good as it did with Tessa. She pulled him down on top of her. “That was amazing,” she murmured against him. “It’s always fantastic with you.” She stroked his back lovingly. “Okay, so you might have more than just grown on me. I missed you when I ran. I missed how you let me talk to you even though you didn’t say much back. I knew you were listening and you took everything in I said. I missed you holding me until I fell asleep. I missed you making sure I didn’t go without the simplest things like breakfast. I may have only known you for a couple of weeks but Lucian, Lucifer, you made a massive impression on me.”

He gazed down at the woman he loved and his heart swelled at her words. Gently caressing her cheeks, he winked at her. “Fine. We’ll go out to dinner and a movie tomorrow. Then Sunday we can find one of those beaches you haven’t seen.”

Her smile took his breath away and she plastered her lips over his. “Thank you.”

She didn’t have to thank him. Lucian knew then that she needed her freedom. He trusted her not to run again.Plus, he thought as he took her lips again,she’ll have at least three guards.
