He growled and nipped my skin before pulling back.His eyes danced with different colors again and I pressed my legs together.“A new bed will be delivered tomorrow.I’m not having the toddler sized bed you have now in my home.”
I blinked a few times, trying to understand what he was saying.Did he—Did he just move in with me?
A smile bloomed on my face and he grinned in response, a peek of his fang showing through.
Before I could force him into a compromising position, he quickly pulled out something from his pocket and shoved it into my cleavage.
“What’s this?”I asked curiously, turning the little box in my hands.
“Open it.”
I squealed in delight as I pulled away the little blood red ribbon and revealed what was inside.
My jaw dropped at the pieces before me.An intricate necklace made from various materials shone under my light.Was that a jaw bone from something?I brought it up closer and examined the chain.It was made from a white material I didn’t recognize, tightly braided together in a sturdy fashion.It was the matching earrings that stole the show.Intricately carved on an ivory colored material, I was almost afraid to wear it anywhere.
My eyes blurred and I sniffed.
“What the hell is wrong now?I thought human females liked gifts,” he growled, rubbing the back of his neck.“I didn’t know when your birthday was, so I figured I’d start the new year with this,” he grumbled dejectedly.
I carefully closed the box, and then threw my arms around him, knocking him on his back.Peppering his face with kisses, I squealed again whispering how much his gift meant to me.
Somewhere between my kisses and my gratitude, my tongue slipped.“I love you, D.”
His hands gripped my hips harder, making me squirm.“I would kill for you again and again even if you didn’t love me, little carrion.Because you’re mine.Don’t even think about leaving me.”
I threw my head back and laughed as he lifted me up bridal style and carried me to bed while the sun began to set.
The night brought on a different kind of dream this time.Lost in a haze of lust and sweat, I writhed in the sheets, trying to find reprieve.There was a soft hum against my skin and my hands crawled down to the back of someone’s hand.It swatted me away and I blinked a few times, lost in limbo.Was I still dreaming?Was I waking up?
I took a sharp inhale when something hard and large impaled my pussy from behind.
“Be a good girl and go back to sleep,” came a gruff, familiar masculine voice.
Was I ever going to stop having these naughty dreams about my demon?Maybe that was one of his abilities.Maybe he was an incubus in disguise.I giggled and sighed as my dream demon slowly rocked his hips against me, making sure to bury himself deeply with each thrust.
My hands flitted to my stomach, feeling the distension every time he pushed my insides around.
I whispered that I loved him in my dreams, smiling as he whispered something in a tongue I couldn't recognize.But one thing was for sure, I felt every word with every thrust as I drifted back into the darkness of my mind.

KIMMY
“Getyour disgusting little cretin hands off my counter!”he roared at a poor little boy who was picking his nose.“You, female!Get your blasted spawn away from me.”
I slapped him with the back of my hand and he snarled in my face.“D, stop it.You’re scaring the customers.”
D was the same grumbly man I met the first day, in front of everyone.I enjoyed the fact that I was able to see the other side of him behind closed doors and that he reserved special treatment just for me.
After reassuring him that his true form didn’t scare me but instead turn me on, he complained about the fact that he had to sneak away to the underworld more often to fix his ‘flesh suit’ without the master catching him.I still didn’t know who this master was but I do hope he forgave D.He was such a good demon.
At least, good to me.I still didn’t know where he went some nights, but he would come home full of adrenaline and desire.Who was I to question him if I reaped the benefits deliciously?
Today was a normal Thursday and soon after our shift began, two familiar faces showed up that I was not looking forward to seeing.My body tensed up as I watched my parents make their way toward The Good Char.I was nervous to say the least—scared too.D instantly noticed my change in composure and walked over, placing his warm hand on my shoulder to ask me if I was okay right as my parents made it to the counter.
I covered my face with both hands, almost wishing I could disappear.The grill was only a few feet away.Maybe D could…
There was an awkward short period of silence when my parents finally spoke.
