I grin. “Then we had better be quick.”
As soon as the words leave my mouth, her hands are undoing the button and zipper on my pants. I shimmer her panties off, my hips pulling back as her hand finds my cock, and I hiss at the contact. She squeezes it hard before helping to guide me into her wet pussy. I move to rest my forehead on hers, both of us moaning at the connection.
I lift her other leg, grateful that her dress is short and easy to move in. Pressing her harder against the wall, my hips start moving quickly, fucking her tight cunt. She makes a whimpering sound, and I place my hand over her mouth, so she doesn’t get too loud. Maddie is a screamer, and as much as I love to hear that sound, her stepfather does not.
In these moments, I’m grateful more than ever to be a daemon, with my ability to move things with the flick of my fingers. I use my powers to lift Maddie’s arms and pin them against the wall, holding her in place, while giving my other hand free rein to explore her body. I pinch her left nipple first and groan when she moans behind my hand in response.
“Fuck baby, I fucking love you.” I grit out. Her eyes start to glow, so I know she’s close. I lean forward and sink my fangs into her neck and pull her blood into my mouth. Maddie whimpers and cries out again behind my hand as she comes, my cock sliding in and out with ease as her juices coat me. I press tighter against her, moving my hips faster, wanting to feel her come again.
I pull back from her neck, her blood dripping down my chin. “Again, Maddie.” My voice is deep with need. I roll my hips again, and both my hands move to cup her breasts, teasing them. My body moves harder against hers, and I make sure to stroke her clit with each thrust. She starts shaking, and I feel my balls drawing tightly to my body before we both orgasm hard.
I release her from my powers and catch her body as she falls from the wall. I turn and kiss the side of her head. “Do not clean yourself up, I want to know my cum is making your panties wet during dinner.” She whimpers in response. “I’ll clean you up later with my tongue.”
She pulls back from me, her face flushed and her amber eyes glowing more brightly. I kiss along her Orion’s belt marking on her cheek and then slowly pull from her body. My cock is wet with her cum, and I’m half tempted to get her to lick it off, but we really don’t have the time. I watch with hungry eyes as she steps into her panties and sets her dress right. She starts wiggling. “How does it feel?”
“Delicious,” she laughs and comes over to kiss me.
“Good.” I slap her ass and take her hand, walking us down the stairs, where her stepfather is waiting at the bottom for us.
“Son, what took you so long?”
“Sorry, Percy, I had to help Maddie with her dress,” I lie.
Percy slaps me on the back. “Women and their dresses, all the fuss we men do not need.” He chuckles, and I laugh with him, even if I do find him to be a sexist asshole. He’s Maddie’s stepfather, her biological father, and I get along well.
“Our ladies like to look their best for us.”
He grunts at me before pulling a cigar out and lighting it up. I see Maddie’s eyes flash, and I look down to hide my grin—she hates him, but her mother loves him, so we tolerate him.
“Gaelan, my boy, looking as handsome as ever,” Maddie’s Mother, Ivy, coos as she comes over and gives me her hand to kiss. I smile and take it, pulling her in to kiss her cheek. “You look beautiful as always, Ivy.”
She blushes and hits my arm lightly. “Save that charm of yours for my daughter.”
“Always.” I wink at her, and Maddie rolls her eyes at me. Her father and stepfather were easy to win over; her mother… not so much. Finding out her daughter was dating a Lord of the Underworld did not sit well with her to start with; I had to convince her that I wasn’t one of Tate’s men.
Percy blows a massive cloud of smoke up into the air. “This dinner won’t be long, will it? I have poker this evening.” He puffs on his cigar again, making a smoke chain that I know is annoying Maddie. I squeeze her hand again, but she pulls out of my grasp, lifting her hand and twisting her fingers, which makes the end of the cigar go out.
“It’s time to go,” is all she says, her eyes find mine, and the lingering power makes them glow.
I lower my head and whisper in her ear, “Careful, my Rose, we still need time to learn from the book before Macy comes.”
Maddie sighs, turns, and kisses me. “I know, but I hate the smell of the cigar smoke.”
“Nothing wrong with it, good for the lungs,” Percy calls out as he walks toward the door, pulling out another cigar and lighting it. Maddie growls, and her mother comes over and pats her hand.
“Pay him no mind, he will put it out in the car, now let us go before we are late for our table.” Ivy takes hold of Maddie’s arm and leads her out of the house. I check the wards are still in place before I shimmer the ring box into my coat pocket and follow them out the door.
My fingers are firmly wrappedaround Maddie’s, as my thumb makes soothing circles on the back of her hand, to stop her from ripping Percy in two. He keeps smoking despite us asking him not to and is taking great pleasure in making smoke circles. Luckily, the ride is a short one.
The restaurant is busy; it’s an old maple tavern that serves good food and has the best Black money can buy. The outside is bright yellow, and the roof is black—you can’t miss it because it stands out like a sore thumb. This was also where Maddie and I had our first date in this life.
When I first saw her—no one in the underworld knew if the Book Reader had been reborn yet—I just happened to be scouting this area and spotted her amber eyes. As soon as she looked at me, I knew it was her. I felt it in my soul, just as I do each time.
Maybe this time will be different.
Maybe this time I get to keep her.
She already had the book, and her mother was teaching her how to use it. My hope is that this time, she and I will both be powerful enough to kill a Princess of Hell. To get rid of Macy once and for all.
