Page 60 of Demon with Benefits
“Don’t give me that look.”
“I’m not giving you any look.”
“You totally are. It’s your disapproving look.”
“Whatever. I just can’t believe you’re having sex with him and you didn’t tell me!” Lily covered her mouth briefly and then dropped her hand, eyes lighting with interest. “Tell me everything. Is it good?”
Iris sniffed haughtily. “I don’t kiss and tell.”
“That’s a load of rubbish.”
She tried to stifle a laugh and failed. “Fine. It’s good, okay? Really good. He’s wicked hot, and I’m crazy attracted to him. And the guy is ripped, Lil.” She sighed appreciatively. “One of his abs has more muscle than my entire body. And the tattoos...”
“They’re everywhere?”
“Ev-ery-where.”
Lily’s eyes widened. “Even... there?”
“Even there.”
The two sisters giggled uncontrollably.
“And it’s pierced,” Iris blurted.
“Oh my god!”
“I know. I was kind of freaked out at first, but it’s hot.”
“Oh my god, Iris!” Lily looked way too excited.
Iris held up her hands. “But this isn’t a relationship. We’re just sleeping together, nothing more. So don’t get any ideas that we’re some big, happy demon family now or whatever. It’s a temporary arrangement of convenience.”
“Sure, okay.” Lily was still grinning, and Iris didn’t believe for a second that her twin accepted that. But as long as she didn’t try to get involved, Lily could think whatever she wanted.
Iris’s phone buzzed in her hoodie pocket at that moment, so she pulled it out and read the text. It was from Meph. Like the bastard knew she’d been talking about him and his magic, pierced dick.
I’ll be over in an hour. I want you naked on the bed. Face down, ass up.
Her face flamed. The idiot had been requesting that every time he came over, and he wouldn’t give it up. It was a battle of wills at this point, and she refused to give him the satisfaction of a victory. She texted back,In your dreams.
He sent her back a gif of SpongeBob twerking, and she couldn’t stop the laugh that burst out of her.
“He’s texting you now, isn’t he? Let me see!” Lily reached over the book piles, trying to snatch the phone, but Iris held it out of reach.
“No way. You are not reading this.”
“Ooh, are you sexting?” Lily made another grab for the phone.
“I’ll let you read it if you let me read your texts to Mist.”
Lily dropped her hand, and her cheeks turned red. “Okay, never mind.” She shifted back to sit cross-legged again.
“That’s what I thought.” The sisters exchanged secret smiles.
Then Iris shook herself. That was not what this was about. This was not some magical budding romance. She and Meph were fuck buddies, pure and simple. She’d been in enough dysfunctional relationships in the past, and she didn’t need another one. Especially not with a demon.
Her decision to stay single was all about breaking her habit of chasing toxic men, and it was the smartest choice she’d made in a long time. She wasn’t going to back out now because of a good dicking and some compelling conversation.
