“Eric?”

When he looked down at me, those sharp teeth gleamed in the light, and his eyes blazed with a golden amber glow.

“I’m stupid,” I whispered.

Eric stood up and backed away. His complexion blanched, the teeth and the eyes were gone. He looked… panicked.

I reached out and grabbed his hand back to my belly.

“Not that, Demon Distillery. I’m stupid, not you, not this. Me. You’re a Dupree. The whole fireman thing threw me off completely. I mean, why the hell would a Dupree— a distillery Dupree have a job?”

“I always wanted to be a fireman.”

“Shit.” I lifted his upper lip and stroked his teeth until they elongated.

“Demon Distillery. Huh, there really is a demon. And no one ever told you?”

His mouth hung open, and he stared at me for a while.

“Well, are you going to bite me again or not?”

His laughter filled the room, and it was a big room. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled in tight. His mouth claimed mine, and I forgot that I wanted him to bite me, I wanted him to do all kinds of other things to me as well.

“If you’re stupid, then I’m really fucking dumb. No one ever told me, because they probably didn’t think they needed to. Yes, I’m Dupree of the Demon Distillery. Apparently I’m the demon. My father must have been before me, and it seems that Sarina will follow.”

He lifted me and placed me on the bed before lowering over me. “You still want me, knowing I’m a demon?”

“Do you still want me? And the baby?” I asked. “After all, I hadn’t figured out who exactly you were.”

“Fuck, yes, I still want you. Can we talk about our feelings after? Because my cock is about to explode if I don’t get inside of you soon.”

“I still have leggings on,” I pointed out.

He pulled back to his knees and hooked his fingers into my waistband and pulled the leggings and the panties down my legs all at once. He shoved his jeans down and pulled my legs so that he was between my knees.

“I’m on call. I don’t have the luxury to really take my time with you,” he said.

“I know, and I don’t care. Just take me already.”

He held my gaze as he slid into me. His cock stretched me and stroked me from the inside. He was a big man. I wanted all of him. He was beautiful. I hadn’t gotten to see his face last night. When he closed his eyes and enjoyed my body, I laughed with the joy of it. He thrust into me, and I didn’t care about anything else in the world. Why had I come over here? Right, because Eric would touch me and that would fix everything. And at this moment it did.

He made my body feel amazing. His skin against mine was pure comfort. His cock deep inside was mind-numbing bliss. My eyes rolled back, and I felt the swell and pulse of the orgasm as it swirled around, and grew like a massive storm. The pressure started in my clit, and twisted and grew, and my inner muscles clenched and twitched.

Eric grunted and growled. His eyes took on the amber glow, and damn if that wasn’t the hottest thing I had ever seen. I screamed out his name, or maybe I just called him a demon. My demon.

He spilled into me again. This time he curled around my belly and muttered careful words.

I struggled to push up on my elbows. My entire body was limp and twitching from his touch. “Did you just do magic?”

“I would say that felt pretty magical. We fit together quite well.”

“I meant this.” I spread my hands over the baby belly and jiggled it.

“I told your baby that it was mine, that I was in love with its mother, and therefore I was now the father.”

The noise that came out of my throat was barely human. I sounded like one of the kids on the playground. There were no words, just loud, unfathomable joy. I managed to sit up and press Eric back as I peppered him with kisses.

“Really? You love me? I thought I was crazy, we barely know each other, but I’m in love with you too.”
