“You want me? You aren’t refusing our bond? You aren’t disgusted that you’re mated to a demon?”
Her face broke into a wide, stunning smile as her eyes swept over every inch of me with admiration, from my curved horns to my feathered wings.
“Disgusted?” She shook her head. “Have you seen yourself? You’re fucking delicious! You like this, so deadly, strong and masculine, shrouded in darkness, I’m trying my best not to foam at the mouth. And knowing Zoran is within you and you are both mine…I feel like I’ve finally won the hottest man alive lottery.”
I glanced down at the burn marks and scarring that covered half of my torso and face. My black vines were singed and my skin was bumpy and deformed. “But I’m…hideous.”
She ran her fingers over the puckered flesh with so much tenderness, I squeezed my eyes shut and gritted my jaw. I’d forgotten what it felt like to be touched.
“You’re beautiful, Ambroz. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
My eyes slammed open as the frown lines deepened beneath my vines. “Are you insane?”
She threw her head away from mine and laughed. The sound felt like healing as a few pieces of my forgotten heart formed back together. “Most probably. But that’s still how I feel.” She traced the vines on my face with her fingertips as I stared at her. “I think the bigger question here is…do you want me?”
I held her unsure, innocent gaze. My heart pounded erratically as the realisation that everything I’d ever wanted could still be mine. All I had to do was take it.
“I wanted you even when I hated you. I wanted you even when I thought you’d been a slayer, cursed me as a raven and ran from me for centuries. What does that tell you, Darcie?”
She sucked in a breath when I said her name for the first time and I felt her thighs tense over mine as her arousal heightened. I gripped her hips tighter, yanking her into me so she could feel how much I wanted her.
“That you are as insane as me?” she breathed, her chest rising and falling with excitement. I grabbed the back of her head and slammed my lips against hers because I couldn’t hold myselfback from taking what was made for me a second longer. Her body. Her soul. Her heart. They were always meant to be mine.
Her little human tongue slid so sweetly against mine as we became frenzied with need. I ripped the material of her top to shreds and she gasped into my mouth as she rocked her hips against my swollen cock.
“Wait,” she mumbled against my lips when I started on her flimsy leggings next, shredding them with my talons. “We should talk. About everything.”
“Fuck that,” I growled into her mouth. “Talk to Zoran. I need to have you. Now.”
“Aren’t you in pain? You need to heal.”
“I’m fine. This is what I need.” She moaned as I moved my possessive mouth back to her throat, swiping my forked tongue across every inch of her skin and down her chest. “Everyone will know who you belong to after I’m done with you, little witch.”
“Oh, fuck yes,” she gasped, holding the back of my neck as she ground her hips against me while I smothered every inch of her skin with my scent, taking her nipple into my mouth and sucking. “Take me, demon. However you want me. I’m all yours.”
The sound of those words sent me feral. I ripped open my jeans and pulled out my monster cock, hoisting her up on her knees so she could sit on me. She glanced down between us and froze, her eyes bulging as her hands gripped my shoulders.
“What the fuck is that?” she shrieked in alarm as she stared at my cock. I probably should have warned her. The side of my lips curved.
“Your new favourite wand.”
Her eyes snapped up and she let out a choked laugh. I wasn’t sure if she was so amused by the fact that I had a sense of humour or that she was about to get fucked by something that would put that vibrating wand upstairs to shame.
“It’s…ribbed?”
“Only for your pleasure,” I growled. “Now be a good girl and sit the fuck down.”
She started shaking her head with anxiety in her eyes. “It won’t fit. Zoran was big enough, that is…”
“It’ll fit,” I groaned, wrapping my arms around her back and pulling her closer. “Because you were made for me. Every fucking inch of you was made perfectly for me, including that pretty cunt. So be a good fucking girl and take every inch of your mate’s cock.”
She swallowed, the concern in her honey eyes dissolving into desire. She licked her lips, positioned herself above me and slid down on the bulbous tip. I groaned, throwing my head back against the sofa at how deliciously tight she was.
“Oh fuck,” she breathed, her nails digging into my shoulders hard enough to break skin. She could scratch me and make me bleed all she liked as long as she took all of me. I didn’t care if it took all goddamn night.
“Ambroz.”
I groaned at the sound of my name from her lips. I held her trembling hips steady as she lowered herself a little more, stopping to accommodate every inch. “That’s it, gorgeous girl. You’re doing so fucking well.”
