He knew just how to touch her, and his finger pressed hard against her clit, shooting her deeper into the orgasm and making her scream. She called his name; she said every curse word in the book. She forgot how to speak bloody English. She hopped on a unicorn’s back and rode over a rainbow with a leprechaun.
When she came back to her body, she was a limp doll in Meph’s arms, still sitting in his lap, impaled on his cock. He was licking at the bite mark on her shoulder with his freaky tongue, one big hand cupped possessively over her pussy, the other over her breast.
She dimly realized that sometime during the sex, her glowing skin had faded.Guess it goes away when the job is done.First thing she’d do when she got home was start learning how to call on it at will. If she and Lily could master it, they’d never have to worry about any demonic fuck hurting them ever again.
But for now, she was simply enjoying the moment. She dropped her head back against Meph’s shoulder and closed her eyes, a smile stretched across her face.
And then she fell asleep.

TONGUE-TIED
MEPH BLINKED GROGGILY, THE FOG IN HIS HEAD MAKINGit hard to think. He was naked, sitting back on his heels with Iris in his lap.
Oh, and he was balls deep inside her.Nice.
But the pleasure endorphins pounding in his brain told him he’d already finished enjoying her, only he didn’t have an immediate memory of it.Not so nice.If he was going to fuck Iris, he damn well wanted to remember it.
She was limp, he realized, her head dropped back against him, her body sagging in his arms.
“Iris?”
He looked down. And saw blood all over her shoulder. And then the tangy electrifying taste of it registered on his tongue, and he realized what had happened.
“Iris! Oh, fuck—Iris!”
He pulled her off his lap and laid her gently down, fighting the urge to shake her violently. “Fucking wake up, Iris! Shit, damn it, fuck—”
She blinked groggily. He was so relieved he nearly threw up. And then she smiled sweetly at him like he hadn’t just nearly killed her. “Hey.”
Hey?She was half dead and covered in blood, and she was sayinghey?
Her eyes widened suddenly. “Meph!” She sat up so fast, their foreheads nearly collided. “You’re back!”
“What?”
“You shifted back!” She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
That was when he realized where they were.
The cold stone under them, the long shadows, the stagnant air. He swung his head around and saw the cave entrance behind them. Red sky showed through the opening. Sharp mountaintops sculpted the horizon.
“What the... ?”
He looked back at Iris, whose eyes had widened. “Do you not remember anything?”
He squeezed his eyes shut, fighting through the confusion. “No, I do. I—Shit—” He shook his head roughly. “I’m still stuck on the fact that I thought I killed you. Hang on.”
She snorted. “I’m fine.”
“You didn’t look fine when you were passed out in my arms and covered in blood!”
“I didn’t pass out. I was sleeping.” She reached out and rubbed his lower lip with her thumb. “And you got some blood right here. Bit of a messy eater, I see.” She smiled at him.
“I bit you. I drank your fucking blood until you passed out. And you were hurt—Your head!” A wave of memory returned, and he suddenly felt nauseous. “Oh fuck, you were hurt. You were hurt, and I just dragged you into a cave and bit and fucked you. You were going to die! Oh fuck, I would have killed you!”
“Meph, Jesus, calm down! I’m fine.” She grabbed his hands, which were gripping his hair, and pulled them away, forcing him to look into her eyes. “Look at me. I’m fine.”
