Page 43 of Accidentally Summoned an Incubus

“I donotroll in fox poo, or poo of any kind,” she said, her grin widening. “And I’ll have you know I happen toadorebunnies.” She threw a glare over her shoulder and growled under her breath, “Now black-haired, wraith-like witches on the other hand...”

“Perfect!” Lex squealed. “You can wait out the rest of the week with us and look after the house while we’re gone.”

“You’re staying here for longer?” Jake asked, a panting Priscilla in tow.

“I... um... I dunno. Maybe,” Billy answered, her cheeks growing scarlet. Just at that moment, her phone rang. Buzzing filled my ears as Billy talked, her stance immediately changing from flustered fangirl to alpha. Caitlyn looked concernedly at Billy, then confusedly back at our uncomprehending expressions. With a final roll of her eyes, Billy hung up the phone.

“Listen, I’m going to have to cut the visit short, Lex. Something has come up with the pack, and I need to return home.”

“You’re coming back, though?” Jake asked.

“I dunno. Maybe. If I can sort—” Buzzing filled my ears once more. Billy turned toward Lex and finished, “—then I’ll let you know if I can look after the house for you.”

“Do you have to go right away?” Lex asked, but Billy had already opened the Uber app, the screen pixelating as soon as she began typing.

“Yeah.” Her phone pinged, and she glanced down. “Taxi is only thirty minutes away, so I should head back and get my stuff.”

Jake’s brows knitted in confusion.

“Want me to walk you there?” Lex asked.

“No, honestly, you go be with your family.”

“I could walk you?” Jake asked, his look of confusion quickly replaced by eagerness. This resulted in a smack over the head by Priscilla. Billy growled and a weak flicker of magic skittered over Lex’s arms.

Priscilla was either an incredibly confident witch or entirely too self-involved to realize the danger Lex and Billy posed.

“Seriously, Jake? You’re just going to leave me to deal with your family on my own?”

“I’ll be fine onmyown,” Billy said through clenched teeth.

After a calming breath, Billy pulled Lex into a bone-crushing hug. Caitlyn was given a much gentler one-armed hug while I got a fist bump and a grin. Jake, who went in for a hug, was offered an awkward handshake, and Priscilla, who cast daggers at Billy, was given the middle finger.

A second later, Billy had turned on her heel toward our house, offering only thesubtlest of glances back. Caitlyn, too, took her leave with the promise that she’d pop by in the morning with all the details for the holiday cabin. And, as luck would have it, Priscilla and Jake had found yet another thing to squabble about and had marched on ahead of us.

The moment they were all out of earshot, Lex wrapped her arm around my waist and stood in front of me. Her mossy eyes bore into mine as desire pulsed through her in crashing waves. I hadn’t realized just how hungry I’d been with the stress of the day, but the moment her hand found its way to the nape of my neck and pushed gently, my stomach rumbled.

“My greedy witch,” I said, my voice a low grumble.

Her mouth met mine, soft and fleetingly gentle before her succubus took over. Her lips opened, her tongue caressing mine, long and sweeping, before landing a controlled, hard flick on my top lip that had me wishing she was tonguing the precum off my slit like she had done last night.

One arm found its way to her waist, the other under her perfect, rounded ass, as I lifted her into the air. Her legs looped around me, her hot core grinding against my length as my shadow wings pooled around her, cocooning my mate to my body. Slender fingers ran through the length of my hair, tracing the scar before pulling, exposing my neck. Lex landed gentle kisses on the crook of my neck that had a low, primal growl escaping my lips. The entirety of my bodybeggedme to take my mate home. My wings unwrapped, spreading, ready for flight—

“Fuck! My eyes!” Jake cried, instantly ruining the moment.

Reluctantly, I gently placed my mate on the ground before turning to face Jake, a murderous scowl on my face. Jake, however, couldn’t see on account of his hand clamped tightlyover his eyes.

“Youalwaysfind a way to ruin a moment,” Lex barked, deadly irritation lacing her tone.

“How was I to know you’d be doingthatthe moment my back was turned? Gross. I think I need to wash my eyes out with bleach.” Jake finally peeked through his fingers and, finding us no longer entangled with each other, dropped his hand and glared at us. “I will never be able to unsee that. You better hope Dad and Granda have dampened their senses.”

“Oh, grow up, Jake. You haven’t summoned your mate yet. You wouldn’t understand.”

Jake stiffened, his face paling. “Just keep it PG, Lex. We’re almost there.”

Poor Jake. I wondered if he’d yet realized that his mate was currently at ours, packing her clothes to leave. I could, of course, tell him what I knew, but Fate worked in a mysterious way. It had a plan in motion to bring the pair together, and it was best to let it work its magic.

Jake, throwing Lex a final, impetuous look, turned on his heel and stomped toward Priscilla.
