“Where is my lady?” Wallis asked.
“Right here.” Prudence, walking down her spiral steps, wore a silk black top and shorts that revealed fucking too much in front of those damned gremlins. I nearly swallowed my tongue as she approached. My pulse thrummed wildly as desire coiled in my stomach. It had been two days since our movie date. I wanted my hands on her. Fuck her curse. I would keep her sin so fed it never came out again.
Wallis covered his eyes. “You’re too beautiful, my lady.”
“You better not be thinking what I believe you are.” Prudence wiggled her finger at him. “Which reminds me,” she bent down to reprieve something, revealing her ass.
I grunted, mouth tightening as I glared at the gremlins while her back was turned.Don’t-disrespect-her-or-dishonor-me-by-looking,my eyes conveyed.They avoided looking at her until she spoke again.
“Here, Wallis.” Smirking, she walked over and gave him a girl plush doll that was bigger than him. “For you. She’s the only thing you’re allowed to have a go at here. I better not see it, though. She stays in your room.”
Wallis gasped, on the verge of tears. “My lady got me a lady and a room?”
Prudence sighed. “I will never get used tomy lady.”
Dirk’s yellow teeth were on full display until Prudence looked over at him. His smile waned, and then he huffed. “You shouldn’t spoil Wallis,” Dirk said.
“You have a room too,” she said. “And so does Marty.”
He bounced up and down. “Can I see my room?”
“You have to pick one first,” she answered.
“We only need one room,” Dirk said in his usual grumpy way.
“Why?” Wallis whined.
Dirk replied, “There will come a day when Sire might want kids. We must think of the rooms as already occupied.”
Kids.
I never gave them a thought because of my situation. I’d always been careful and terrified of getting someone pregnant and creating another soul reaper. But Prudence, with a rounded stomach, carrying our child, sounded far too tempting. Blood rushed to my cock. Already, I’d thrown caution out the door with Prudence. How many times had we shoved my semen inside her? Could she be pregnant already? The thought was so exhilarating my head spun. Suddenly, I had visions of spreading Prudence’s legs wide and thrusting inside her.
“Oh.” Marty nodded. “That’s true.”
Prudence, her face and neck flushing, met my gaze. She was so adorable when embarrassed. I closed the distance between us. When I massaged the nape of her neck, her mouth parted.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” she whispered.
“Let’s talk in private.” Taking her by the hand, she let me lead the way to her bedroom. Once inside, I shut the door and locked it. The click of the knob had her arousal seeping out, cloaking the room in her perfection. Turning, I leaned down and pressed my nose into her neck. Goose bumps broke out over her flesh as I inhaled her candy rum scent. “There it is. I’ve been wanting to have my way with you.”
“Speak first.” She moaned as I flicked my tongue over her collarbone. “You said you wanted to talk.”
“Is there a chance we can have kids together?”
“Why couldn’t we?” she asked and pushed at my chest, but I didn’t budge.
“Because I’m a soul reaper, and you’re an immortal?” I suggested.
“So? You’re a man, and I’m a woman. But if you’re worried, my power blocks ovulation.”
“Blocks?” I frowned.
“I can control it with my power,” she explained.
“I’m not worried.”
Actually…
