I wanted to throw her over my shoulder, take her upstairs and mutually fuck the brains out of her. Instead, I curbed my baser needs and said, as calmly as I could, “I would be agreeable to those terms. How do you propose we... commence?”

“I thought that, maybe, we could... I dunno... Maybe we could get ourselves off in the same room as each other? That way, we both get release. You can feed, and we don’t have to touch.”

“I... agree.” I’d take what I could get from my mate. Even if I wouldn’t be the one getting her off, the proximity would be close enough that it would be the first proper meal I had since being summoned.

Chapter 11. Lochran

We walked up the stairs in awkward silence, broken only by the crackle of sexual tension. I could feel the desire radiating off her in waves but tinged with the slight edge of embarrassment. On second thought, it wasn’t quite embarrassment, but awkwardness, as if she wasn’t sure what had brought her to the decision to finger fuck herself in the same room as a sex demon she’d accidentally summoned, but she kind of wished she was doing more. At the same time, she was conflicted and wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page, which I respected. There were quite a few times that I’d set my boundaries very clearly with mortal women—all I was offering was to get them off. I didn’t want to be touched in that way by them. There was a surprising number who just didn’t care, grasping for me, trying to undo my trousers, then cussing me out when I wouldn’t oblige.

So I was fully on board with clarity and boundaries.

I opened the door to my room and felt my lips twinge. Thehouse had littered every surface with candles, casting a delectable glow over the room. The bed, which had been a double just this morning, seemed to have widened into a king-sized bed. Enough room for us to spread out for our masturbatory activities.

“How should we do this?” I asked.

“I dunno. Top to toe?”

I nodded in agreement. I’d secretly hoped we’d watch each other get off, but I’d take anything at this point.

“Okay. You lie with your head at the foot of the bed, and I’ll take the top,” she said with slightly more authority in her tone.

Doing as the little witch asked, I lay flat on my back, gazing up at the ceiling. I felt the bed dip from the other side. Just the thought of Lex in the bed beside me was enough for my dick to stiffen, and I prayed to all that was good and holy that I could get my head back into the game and at least last until Lex had climaxed. I would literally sacrifice my left arm to Hades if it meant I wouldn’t embarrass myself and come too quickly. I needed our first mutual experience to show my mate that her satisfaction would always come first. Maybe it was for the best that Lex didn’t ask me to sit up and watch her fingers glide in and out of her tight pussy. That would definitely be too much for the heightened state I was in. So, staring at the sun-bleached ceiling it was.

My body froze as I heard her shuffle and, a moment later, the soft thud of clothes hit the ground. The scent of her wet pussy filled the air, and I took a deep, glorious breath of it. It was the sweetest scent. Not like the sickly candy scent from the hardware shop. But homey, andspiced, with a hint of floral. I would bet that even the goddess Chloris couldn’t find a flower that smelled more delectable than the scent of my mate—

“Lochran?”

“Sorry,” I said, heat flushing to my cheeks as I shuffled out of my clothes.What is wrong with me?My mate was turning me into a fucking eighteenth-century dandy from a historical romance. Next thing you knew, I would be dressed in frilly laces and quoting Romeo and Juliet at her.

I mean, I absolutely would, if that was what it would take to woo her. But that wasn’t quite me. Before the sex ban, I was usually the did-you-want-a-whip-with-your-shackles kind of sex demon, not the should-I-compare-thee-to-a-summer’s-day kind.

Head in the game, Lochran. Not too fast, don’t scare her off, and absolutely no sonnets.

“I... um... I guess we should start,” Lex said as my jeans hit the floor.

“I guess so,” I replied.

This totally wasn’t awkward at all.

But, regardless of the fact this was not how I’d pictured my first mutual interaction with my mate to be, my mate needed satiated, and this was how she chose to do it. The need to please her overtook the primal need to feed.

I could just about see the strips of black fabric on the bedposts from this position. Someday, I was going to tie my mate to the bed, gagged and blindfolded, and show her just how filthy a full-blooded incubus could be.

But only when she was ready.

For now, if all she was comfortable for me to do was to jerkoff in the same room as her, then that was enough.

I could hear the moment her fingers parted her folds. My mate was drenched already. I wondered if she’d been drenched all day as she waited in anticipation for me to return so she could tell me of her plan. Had she played with herself to try to take the edge off? Or had she saved all that desire up for this very moment?

I did my best not to groan as I grasped the head of my stiff length and rolled my thumb through the slick precum. My balls tightened. The sound of my mate’s slickness alone had me close to an orgasm. I cursed myself for the sex ban. What a stupid idea it had been to have only found my pleasure with myself for the last few years. I should have spent that time preparing myself for the potency of my mate, so that I could show her my virility. The demon I once was could have easily gone for hours, ensuring that she came time and time again before I let myself give in to pleasure.

Slowly, Lochran,I reminded myself.Take it slow, and you can hold on until Lex climaxes.

Her Samhain-spiced desire filled my nostrils, making my balls tighten in anticipation of release. I allowed myself one deep lungful of her scent before holding my breath. Denying her scent might take the edge off.

My thumb rolled over the head of my dick once more before gently pumping my shaft. A slight wisp of calming air escaped my lips. I could do this. I would show my mate that her pleasure came first—

A low moan escaped Lex’s lips, and my cock exploded, my held breath pouring from mylips with as much force as the cum spurting from me in thick, powerful ropes, coating my fingers and chest.
