“But it’s the second-most important meal of the day.” Bael licked his salacious lips. “Eating pussy is the first, in case you were wondering.”
Thierry stood and followed her to the door. “You should eat something.”
This was…weird. Nix had never had others care about her habits before. In her previous life, Elle made sure she had her illusion potion. Other than that, Nix could have starved herself, and no one would have noticed.
An invisible wallflower no longer.
“I’m not hungry,” Nix said and reached for the doorknob.
Bael’s hand slapped at the door, preventing her from leaving.

CHAPTER
As Bael’s hand slapped over the door and stayed there, preventing her escape, Nix was reminded of how unfair his alpha speed was.
The sex demon, who had a knife hidden on his body at any moment, was not the kind of person Nix thought he was if he worked with her future captor. Whywouldthe sex demon have humanity?
She had thought of him as a—relatively—harmless threat to her. But now?
He could betrulydangerous.
What does he know?She wanted to pin him to the floor and demand answers. He mightlikeit if she did.
She failed to pull the door open with his weight against it. She pulled and pulled. Nothing.Heavy, muscular demon.
“You had a traumatic night,” Bael said, blocking her exit with his broad shoulders. “Youbled, and unlike us, you don’t heal fast. Eat something. I’ve got eggs, bacon, ham, and thick, hot sausage—more than one kind.” Bael winked.
Nix nibbled on her bottom lip. She was suspicious of the incubus, but he did not know what she knew or what she sawupstairs in Ryker’s room. He also did not know she had come from the future or her history with those shifter poison needles.
And she did love food—years of starvation did that to a person.
She also wanted to get answers.Washe involved somehow with her future captor? What other reason existed to explain it?
They had an exact replica of the shifter poison needles that she used to be on the receiving end of, each week.
“If you don’t eat something, I will have toeatyou,” Bael threatened in a cheery voice that made it obvious he wanted her to take him up on his offer. He flicked his tongue to make the oral sex implication even more obvious.
Her thighs clamped together, but she said, “I…I need to get going.”
“Baby, I could eat you out in minutes.”
Nix’s blush deepened to a darker crimson, and the familiar pulsing began between her legs. How was her body not satisfied after last night? Just because it was a dream?
He could be linked to my future murder!This was not the socially acceptable “bad boy” kind of sex demon she had originally thought.
Bael rubbed a thumb over one of her pink cheeks and whispered, “So pretty.”
Her heartbeat continued to quicken as he touched her. She held her breath, trying to calm herself.
But he noticed. Bael’s small smirk curled down as he listened to her fast heartbeat. Thierry also frowned and stepped closer to her.
“Why do you…smell like fear?” Bael asked darkly.
“Did you feel pressured into what happened last night?” Thierry asked in a voice just as gut-wrenchingly remorseful. “I would have never— Please know, I didn’t realize—”
“N-No,” Nix said, shaking her head. The dream had been euphoric. Just not the new artifacts Nix saw in Ryker’s room. Nix pressed her lips together, trying to hold back her questions for Bael.
