Page 9 of Hollow Nights

I turned my head, staring at my pink toy as I listened. I didn’t hear Axelle, didn’t see him anywhere.Could he be asleep?I glanced around before pulling my covers back.

“Someone’s up early.”

His voice startled me as I gasped. Axelle was peeking over the foot of my bed, his tail wagging behind him, those burning orange eyes staring at me.

“Thought you’d be passed out still. I could hear you tossing and turning all night, Libra.” He crawled into the bed, sprawling across the foot of it as he propped his head up on his arm and crossed his legs. “Got some big plans today?” His unnaturally long smile annoyed me.

“As a matter of fact, I do.” I stood. “I have a date tonight and need to get ready.” Axelle followed me as I stepped towards the bedroom doorway, turning to stop him. “You may have shadowed me every second of every day before, but now that I can see you, I have rules.”

“More rules?” He cocked his head and crossed his arms, groaning.

“Yes, more rules. My rules. If I’m going to be stuck with you, then I’m putting some boundaries in place. Number one: No following me into the bathroom and peeking while I bathe. Number two: I know you’ve done it, but no more watching me change?—”

“Ugh, you’re really taking all the fun out of?—”

“Number three,” I cut him off. “No interfering with my life in any way unless it’s absolutely necessary. Got it?” Axelle made a face. “I said, got it?”

He rolled his eyes. “Fine. I’ll totryand follow your stupid fucking rules, but no promises.”

“Seriously? You can’t follow three simple rules?”

“Simple? There’s nothing simple about them. What am I supposed to do if I can’t fuck with you?” He was actually serious.

“I don’t know, find a new hobby? But right now, I’m going to go take a nice, long bath, and I’m going to enjoy myself and get ready for my date tonight, okay? So just stay here.”

“Oh?” He raised a brow. “Going toenjoyyourself now, are you?” Axelle leaned in, running his claw along the underside of my chin. “Aren’t you forgetting your little toy?”

“Knock it off!” I slapped his hand away. “I’m going to take a bath! And s-stop doing that!”

“Doing what?” he asked, examining his claws.

“Stop trying to seduce me o-o-r whatever it is you’re doing!”

“Can’t help it. Us sleep demons are overly sexual monsters. We’re addicted to sex almost as much as we are fear. Oh, but mixthe two, and it’s a fucking trip.” He eyed me. “A nasty part of being chained to humans is that we can be a bit, well, territorial.”

“Oh no, I amnotyour fucking territory. I don’t belong to anyone.”

“Oh, but you are.” He roughly yanked the chain that bound us. “You’remine, fleshbag. It’s only a matter of time before you accept it. Fucking is just an added bonus.” My cheeks burned as I tried to calm down at the rush I felt. Axelle flashed his sharp teeth before releasing his chain and lying across my bed. “Take your bath, human. I’ll wait here like a good little monster.” I swallowed, frustrated by everything, and stomped to the bathroom.

I locked the door, as if that would do anything, and exhaled hard. My body was throbbing, pulsating with an unbearable need to unleash itself. I needed to hurry if I wanted any privacy, before Axelle realized what I was planning to do.

Quickly, I turned the water on in the tub, the hot steam filling the room as I quietly searched my cabinets for my second vibrator. I hadn’t used it in so long, I couldn’t remember exactly where I left it.

“Shit,” I whispered. I couldn’t find it and had no idea where else it could be. I was so sexually frustrated, I decided to just handle this myself.

I wasted no time undressing and lowering myself into the partially filled tub. The water was hot, causing my nipples to harden against their piercings, adding a nice little sensation to my growing mood. I pulled the shower curtain back and settled deeper into the water, excited to finally be alone.

My fingers slowly trailed down my sternum and past my midriff, reaching my clit. I began to carefully massage it, adding just the right amount of pressure, quickly building my anticipation as I increased the speed and released a soft gasp.My touch was welcoming, but not nearly as enjoyable as my vibrator.

Just focus on what feels good.

I continued, pushing a finger inside myself as I started to rub my G-spot. The nerves throughout my body tingled and tightened, agreeing with what I was doing. Seconds turned to minutes, the tub now nearly full as I struggled to climax. I felt as though my body was wound up and ready to release, but for some reason, it just couldn’t.

What is wrong with me?Groaning, I removed my fingers and turned the water off. I sat in the hot bath, seething with such sexual frustration. I wanted to just bust into my room, grab my vibrator, and go to town…but with Axelle lurking about, it wasn’t possible.Stupid fucking demon. I had to listen to him have the most unnatural sounding, vigorous…animalistic…My blood pressure began to rise as my thoughts wandered. I began thinking about his body, how chiseled and attractive it surprisingly was. The way his tail felt gliding smoothly across my skin, in my mouth…

My fingers slowly ran along my body, across my skin and nipples as I felt myself drift off into dangerous, lustful thoughts. Maybe fucking a demon wasn’t such a bad idea. The looming tension within me grew, my clitoris swelling, begging to be touched. I began to massage it again, desperately trying to reach my peak, but I just couldn’t.

“Fuck,” I exhaled, slapping the water.
