“Lucifer will always look out for Lucifer. Nothing more. Nothing less.” Justice’s attention only lasted a moment longer before fading back into the visions of his mind. Most likely, he was sorting through his memory doors and referencing anything that could help us. It was best to leave him to his work.
“We also get to pick up Cole,” Jasper said.
“I hope he’s been good for Ryan,” I muttered.
Cole was going through dragon puberty, or so it seemed. He still listened when I commanded him, but he was otherwise stubborn. Jasper had asked Ryan if he would take over Cole’s training and care while we were gone. Apparently, Ryan had raised several dragons of his own.
“Cole can’t throw anything at Ryan that he, or his ice, can’t handle,” Jasper said reassuringly.
“Okay. So, after all that.” I gestured around the table, making sure to include us all. It took a moment, but even Justice looked with clear eyes. “Then what?”
Silence fell over the table.
“Like the meaning of existence, Fox?”
“Maybe?” I didn’t know if that was what I was asking for or not. It wasn’t far, either.
Jax’s hand landed on mine, covering my skin with the dark ink of his runes. His fingers moved, rubbing in a soothing motion. “We hunt ghosts and help them move on. Do the research and work together as a team. We take each day as it comes at us, living out a normal demon life with each other.”
“We can have a little excitement thrown in here and there. Maybe visit all the realms. Apply for a couple of babies. Hang out in the dungeon,” Justice suggested, raising his eyebrows.
“I didn’t think you would want kids, Justice,” I said, surprised that he included it on his list.
“I didn’t know I wanted a lot of things until you, pet. And I know you can say the same.” He smiled, pulling a knife from a sheath on the bands crisscrossing his torso. He brought the tip to his lips and pressed it against them until a bead of blood welled against the steel.
I licked my lip instead of lunging across the table to lick his. The knife had disappeared at some point as my gaze fixated on the deep red jewel that called to me.
“Do not get poison on the table, Justice,” Jax scolded.
Justice pulled his bottom lip into his own mouth, making me jealous. He caught me staring and winked. Maybe it was a good idea to get all the sex out of my system now.
I still had a few more days of my honeymoon.
“Hey,Princess.”Jaspersatnext to me on the wet sands of the beach. Darkness had fallen, and a starless black void stared back.
The sound of the waves churning and crashing from the depths of the abyss called to me, and I often spent time each night sitting on the sand, listening. There was a sense of peace that I could only find inside the darkness. Maybe it was my vampire side calling out that safety was found inside the shadows.
Light from the honeymoon cottage shone through the large window near the kitchen, allowing me to admire half of Jasper’s face. His dark eyes looked at me the same way I looked at the shadowed corners of the world. It was a look of content drowning. I reached up to cup his cheek.
“I’m so glad I answered your call,” he breathed, leaning into my touch.
I smiled. “Yeah, me too.”
He looked at my lips, leaning in and taking his time to build anticipation like a true master of all things lust. I watched him smile and pause a breath away from my lips. Smug arrogance rolled off him before he finally pressed his lips to mine. My eyes closed, and I breathed in his smoky scent while my body melted against him.
I felt the strong bands of his arms wrapping around my back, keeping me from crumbling into a pile of mush. The tip of his tongue danced with mine as a stark reminder of what the muscle could do. Jasper continued to make promises while I felt the slither of his tail creeping between my thighs.
I smiled into the kiss and let my legs fall apart.
He kissed his way down my neck. “Lusty. Gluttonous. Greedy,” growling praise. “Perfect.”
The blunt tip of his tail pushed my underwear to the side before pressing its way to my entrance. I groaned as it worked its way inside, feeling how it explored, determined to find every spot that made me wriggle and writhe.
It was a damn good thing he was holding me, or else I might have turned into a puddle.
His tail worked all the way inside me before reversing to make the trip once again. I squirmed, locked inside Jasper’s hold while he controlled his tail with expertise. It wasn’t an added appendage; it was part of him. And he knew exactly how to use it. He made the point perfectly clear as I struggled against his hold.
My clit was pulsing, desperate, and needing something to grind against. Even as Jasper’s tail started to thrust inside me harder, seeming to swell simultaneously, I needed more friction. But Jasper held me tightly in his arms. There wasn’t anywhere for me to go.
