Page 9 of The Darkness in the Magi

But first I need to sate my beast of a warden.

“Stygian!” he yells, but the battle is lost.

His cock swells, then expels his seed, overfilling my mouth. I gag as I try to take as much of his essence as I can, reveling in its divine flavor.

Lucius curls forward, his abs resting on my head as he chokes on the very air he breathes.

I did this to him.

Me.

Sophie, the stygian magi. Conjurer of darkness.

His foul magi.

A stygian, bone and blood.

He pulls free of me, but a web of his essence still connects us.

“Did you like it?” I ask, licking the remnants of his passion from my lips.

His eyes narrow in bitter contempt. “You didn’t stop when I told you to.”

My gut twists with anxious thoughts. “You liked it?—”

His hand splays across my jaw and he pulls up, making me stand. “Don’t tell me what I like, stygian!”

“But—”

He grabs my hair again, yanking my head back hard and elongating my throat. “You will pay for what you’ve done.” He grabs the tie at my waist with his other hand and yanks. “Now bare yourself for me.”

With shaky hands, I open my robe, wondering what he intends to do with me.

“You will learn your place, magi,” he spits, his eyes seeking my newly uncovered flesh.

“I thought I was serving you!” I rush out.

He chuckles darkly, his eyes alight with fury. “You have a lot to learn, little magi.”

Chapter 6

SOPHIE

Ifeel Lucius everywhere.

In my mind. Under my skin.

In places I try never to think about.

I crave his light just as I crave the shadows.

And his desire for me is just as strong.

I allow my robes to fall to the floor, standing in front of the lux warden with only my bra and panties on.

“Remove your undergarments,” he deadpans.

I reach to my back and undo the clasp of my bra, pulling it down my arms.
