Page 9 of My Soul Is His

One of her demons, a creature of pure shadow and malice, destroys her body, mind, and spirit, but an unusual event has occurred.

As her hazel, red-rimmed eyes peer at me, my heart clenches. “They took you from me,” she says.

“That’ll never fucking happen. I’ll claw my way back to you in every world we have to end up in.” I clench my jaw and lean my head to the side, hearing the tension pop before staring at her.

“But what if—”

“Never, my dove. My chest still bears your initials, as does yours of mine. We’re bound for eternity, body and souls forever.”

She doesn’t look convinced, and while her bleeding has slowed, I lower my lips to her arm and lick up the crimson staining her skin.

“You are mine,” I whisper before kissing her intensely.

A shiver runs down my spine as Marla’s hand slides beneath my shirt, her sharp nails grazing my skin. I’m already hard and ready for her.

With her chin in my grasp, I pull away from her and undress her.

I unzip myself and feel her hands on my shoulders as I guide her to straddle me. When I tease her clit with my thumb and insert a finger, she responds by grinding against me and fluttering her eyes before planting a kiss on my lips.

“Just like that, Sebastian, don’t stop,” she mumbles.

“Never. Get ready for my hard cock.”

After she clenches around my fingers and wetness drips into my palm, I stroke myself and stare into her lust-filled eyes.

Breathless, she leans down and grips the base of my dick as she slides down at her own rhythm.

Marla’s nails grip into my shoulder and I realize we need to make time for more intimacy. My dove depends on me more than ever and I should cater to her needs as she’s being attacked more.

“So fucking tight, always perfect for me.”

I grip her dark hair and expose her skin, whimpers fill our space as I raise my knees to stop her from full penetration. I tease her slowly with the bars on my cock and latch onto her neck, sucking and biting her sensitive flesh as she bucks against me.

“Sebastian, please,” she begs.

“What, my dove?”

“Let me go.”

Pulling back to gaze at her beauty, I’m entranced by this moment. My demon flocks in my peripheral vision and the surrounding air is heavy, but nothing matters except her.

Letting her hair go, I wrap my hand around her neck and squeeze as she clenches on my length. I use her like my personal fuck toy and slam her on my cock.

With our eyes locked it’s a different type of bliss. As I fill her she clamps down on me and screams out her ecstasy.

“I love you, Sebastian,” she whispers and leans against me.

“I’ve never loved anyone in my entire life more than you, Marla. There is nothing you could ever do to deter me from us.”

With care, I let her go as I zip up my pants, grabbing her clothes to aid her, smoothing the hair away from her face before leaning in for one more kiss.

“It’s like everything is so fucking broken. I’m only going to hurt us more. I’ve masked for so long I hate having to do it here, and the bloody blue monster will never leave me alone. Sebastian, I’m afraid that you won’t recognize me after time, that I’ll become a husk of the person you love and then what’s even the point?” Tears fall over her cheeks, and my heart shatters.

“This quiet we have right now means you can let go. I’ve got you, Marla, it’s us and I’ll do everything I can to protect you.”

“But what if—” she starts.

“Relax, baby, and hold on to me until the tears pass. You deserve so much better than this and I’m sorry I can’t get youinto that realm for real. I’d sacrifice anything to move you into the sunshine, surrounded by your loved ones.”
