“Did you know that dragonflies moult several times throughout their lives, leaving their old selves behind and starting a fresh chapter each time?” he asks me back, my eyes flitting up to his which stare right back at me. “I like to think that every day, every moment is a new beginning. A chance to start anew. This reminds me of that if I forget.”

His words still the movement of my fingers, and unbidden tears spring to my eyes, making it feel even more like a magical underwater world that we've stepped into, as it waves and wobbles.

“I like that,” I whisper, voice rough round the lump in my throat. “And this one?” I question, brushing my fingers over his chest piece yet again.

He chuckles darkly.

“Ah, The Creation of Adam. That one was to remind myself that, although I may like to think I'm God, I'm not. I'm always reaching, trying, but never quite managing it.”

It's hard to describe the look on his beautiful face, it's almost one of self-loathing.That surely can't be right, can it? He can’t hate himself, can he? He’s Loki.

Needing to see his usual arrogance back, I drop my fingers to his hip, stroking the lipstick mark, making his already hard cock jerk between us.

“And this one?” I ask in a sultry tone, a flirty smile on my lips and one brow raised.

His own eyes flash with want, and his cocksure grin is back in full force.

“That's my second favorite place to be kissed,” he teases, his smile sinful and full of deeds done late at night between lovers.

“And your favourite place to be kissed?” I watch as his sinner’s grin deepens.

He takes my hand, wrapping it round his dick, pumping our joined hands a couple of times. He releases his grip, moving hishand back to my hip, leaving me to continue moving my own hand up and down his hard shaft. I add in a corkscrew motion, knowing that’s what he likes, and his head tips back, his eyes closing, and a long, low groan leaves his lush lips. I love giving him pleasure. It makes me feel powerful that I can bring this fallen angel, this god, literally to his knees.

His hands move down, grasping the globes of my arse, his fingers digging in and adding that little bit of pain I've become so addicted to. He’s pulled me closer so that the tip of him rubs my clit, sending spirals of pleasure shooting through me.

His eyes open and lock with mine, and although blown black with lust, there's an intensity in them that leaves me reeling. I lean my head down so that our foreheads are resting together, my eyes closing with the rush of emotion that is taking over me completely.

“How can it be like this?” I whisper. “How can we feel so...right together?”

I can hear the bubbling water of the hot tub nearby, andWicked Gameby Daisy Gray is playing in the background, her haunting voice caressing us and saying what seems to be between us.

“I don't know,” he says after a moment, voice husky. “But I'm too fucking selfish to let you go, Lilly.” A thrill runs down my spine at the sound of my name on his lips. “I love you so fucking much, Pretty Girl.”

Before I can say it back, he grabs a fistful of my hair, pulling enough to make me whimper, then slams his lips against mine.

His tongue forces past my lips whilst he holds me hostage, seeking to dominate my mouth and tear me apart. His kiss destroys me, breaking me down, then building me anew.

We break apart, breathless and panting. I feel like we're in the eye of a storm, winds swirling round us with all of the feelings that are desperate to take flight and overpower us.

Suddenly, the door to the pool bangs open, and in strides Lucifer himself.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

LILLY

“Loki!” Ash calls as he walks in. “That cunt Clarissa said you were down here with Lilly.”

Ash's disdainful voice sounds over the music, breaking us out of our intense moment. My head snaps up to see Ash stride in, with a scowl on his face and looking sinfully handsome in his black shirt, tie, and slacks.

I'm facing the door, so I see the moment he spots us. He stops, his steel grey eyes widening a fraction as they meet mine. His nostrils flare, and I can't tell whether he's pissed as all hell, or turned the fuck on at the sight of us.

“Here you are,” he says, voice as cold as ice and I can’t suppress the shudder that runs through me.

Just then, Jax and Kai step through the door, laughing about something, but coming to an abrupt halt and falling silent as they take us in. Me in Loki's lap. Clearly naked. Clearly playing with his dick.

My cheeks flush with heat at having all of them here, seeing us like this. I'm still full of the maelstrom of emotions that Lokicreated with that kiss, those words. It's almost too much with them watching as well, and my heart starts racing.

“Would you like them to join us, Pretty Girl?” Loki whispers, lips brushing my ear, and I swallow hard, taking in a sharp breath. I feel my inner walls tighten down, wanting to be filled. “I take that as a yes.”
