DAEMON

Calli’s excited shriek fills the silence around us as she races into the water.

She should be scared. Most grown-arse men are terrified, looking into my eyes when I go to that dark, destructive place inside me. But not my angel.

Somehow, she sees more than anyone else does.

It’s fucking terrifying. It’s exhilarating. It’s… fuck.

The water laps at my calves as I race into the sea after her, but I barely feel the cold. My sight’s set firmly on my girl as she attempts to escape me.

“Holy shit,” I gasp when my balls hit the water, the temperature situation suddenly more than obvious.

It’s soon forgotten though when I finally wrap my arms around Calli’s waist and haul her back against me.

“Didn’t run fast enough, Angel,” I growl in her ear, continuing to walk us farther out, the water hitting my waist.

“Maybe I never really wanted to escape.” She reaches behind, her fingers twisting in my hair and holding me close. “Maybe I like being your prisoner, devil boy.”

A deep growl rumbles up my throat a second before I surge forward, submerging both of us in the freezing-cold water.

Spinning her in my arms, I position her so that when we surface once more, her legs are wrapped around my waist and her pussy is right where I want it.

“Oh my God,” she splutters, wiping the water from her face. “It’s fucking fre—” My lips capture hers, cutting off her words as my fingers dig deeper into her arse, pulling her closer.

I push my tongue past her lips, seeking out her own and letting myself drown in her.

My anger ebbs away with each brush of her lips against mine, her light banishing some of my darkness.

Thoughts of her with someone else, with Alex… they drag out a possessive, psychotic part of me that even I’m slightly terrified of.

It was bearable before I’d had a taste of her.

But now she’s mine, even if it is only for a short time, I’m not sure I’m going to survive watching her walk away which she will inevitably have to.

I’m not good enough for her.

Evan and Nico will never let this happen.

They have a plan for her, and I know for a fact that I’m not a part of it.

I just need to take what I can. Give myself enough memories in the hope that it will be enough when the time comes.

Pain slices through my chest, but then she rolls her hips against me and I’m dragged back to the here and now, reminded that at this very minute, I’ve got exactly what I’ve always wanted in my arms.

“Fuck, Angel. You’re everything,” I groan into our kiss as the water continues to lap at our shoulders.

Releasing one hand from her arse, I slip it between us, pressing the head of my cock against her entrance.

“Nikolas,” she moans as I slip inside her easily.

“Dirty little angel,” I groan, her heat surrounding me and bringing my entire body to life.

Her grip on my hair tightens, and she lets out the most incredible lust-filled moan as I drag her down so she’s fully seated on my cock.

“Tell me you’ve not been studying naked with my brother,” I demand against her lips.

“Of course I haven’t. The only person I’ve been naked with is you,” she says between gasps as I slowly pull out of her.
