Page 27 of Demon’s Desire (Lovers of the Damned #3)

Nico traced the tattoo of Onyx’s tail, and heat flared along Onyx’s skin. Not the heat of a well spanked ass. Not a blush. Something within Onyx radiated a palpable warmth. His fire? Nico’s breath caught, and he did it again, mesmerized.

“Nico,” Onyx panted. “Nico. Wait. I’m going to… Wait.”

Nico couldn’t stop touching, but he didn’t need to unless Onyx really asked. “Color?”

“Green, but Nico…Nico.” Onyx’s body shuddered. “Fuck. I can’t. Dammit.”

He looked over his shoulder, tears streaming down his cheeks, his eyes burning and wild. Onyx’s fangs dropped as his mouth opened on a moan. His body seemed to vibrate, tensing like he was trying to hold himself together, then with a guttural cry, his face changed.

Onyx’s red cheeks turned lavender—not the lavender cast by the reflection of his burning blue eyes, but a true change in the skin—spreading all the way to his forehead.

Two horns sprouted from his hairline, sticking straight up and curving back at the tips.

They were such a pale blue, they were almost translucent.

Veins were visible at the base, flushing red, then fading to lavender.

Nico forgot to breathe. So much raw emotion, so much passion lit Onyx’s face. Nico couldn’t move.

Before him, Onyx trembled, his burning gaze locked on Nico’s. Something grazed Nico’s hand, and he glanced down.

Onyx’s tail unfurled from his hips. The sleek appendage was the same translucent blue as his horns, the base flushed deep lavender, fading to what Nico could only call a purple blush at the top of Onyx’s ass.

“Nico, I—I’m sorry. I can’t. Oh, fuck.” Onyx turned his face away.

“You’re gorgeous.” Nico tangled a hand in Onyx’s hair, turning his head until their eyes met.

Onyx blinked, and tears slid down his cheeks. “I didn’t mean to show you.”

“But you did, and that’s okay. I’m glad. I think deep down, you know you can let me in.”

Onyx’s breathing shallowed. “I was scared something had happened to you. That’s why I came. I have to protect you so you don’t get hurt.”

Nico’s chest seized.

Why would Onyx think something had happened to him?

He could find out the details later. All that mattered was Onyx opening up. Showing Nico everything. Even if he hadn’t meant to release his horns or tail, he must’ve felt safe if this was his body’s reaction. And there was no getting around the fact that Onyx chose to speak at last.

“I appreciate you wanting to protect me, Onyx. I like knowing that. You don’t have to hide caring about me.”

“Yes, I do.” Onyx’s teary gaze sharpened. “I always do.”

“You don’t have to with me. I’m here for you, Onyx. I’m not going anywhere.”

Onyx closed his eyes.

Nico braced himself for Onyx’s argument, his dismissal, but it didn’t come.

“Fuck me, Nico. Please. That’s what I need right now. If you’re here for me, please just do it. Make me feel good.”

He sounded so desperate, so scared. Did he not believe Nico? Did he think Nico would leave? Nico wanted to stay in the worst way. He wanted to be Onyx’s everything. Comfort him. Support him. Defend him against anyone who doubted him.

“I’m not just going to fuck you to make you feel good, Onyx. I’m going to do it because I want it as much as you do. Because you’re so good, trusting me. Because I’ve never been more turned on than I am seeing you—all of you—laid out for me. I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you.”

“Fuck, Nico, please.” Onyx bucked his hips.

Nico straightened and pulled his shirt over his head. “Let me get lube.”

“Don’t you dare leave me. Not for a second. You don’t need it.” Onyx scrambled to get up, and Nico gripped his hips, holding him down. He didn’t throw Nico off, even though he could have.

Onyx’s tail flicked back and forth, brushing Nico’s stomach.

He tightened his grip on Onyx’s hips. “You need lube. I don’t want to hurt you that way.”

“You won’t.” Onyx huffed and wiggled his ass. “Stick your fingers in me and see.”

What? There was no way Onyx had prepped before coming over, was there? Not if he was worried Nico had been hurt. Besides, Nico would have noticed when he’d spread him open earlier.

He released Onyx’s hips and slid his fingers along Onyx’s crack. He found Onyx’s hole, and his eyes popped wide.

He was slick.

Nico pressed a finger inside, and Onyx groaned, pushing onto it.

“When did you…?” Nico couldn’t help pumping his finger. Onyx gripped him tight, sucking him into his wet heat.

“Demon trick.” Onyx shot a positively evil look over his shoulder. His cheeks and horns flushing an even darker lavender, hints of red coming through. “I can get myself wet whenever I want.”

“What?” Nico’s mind blanked.

Onyx pressed his ass back. “Magic. I know you’ve heard of it. We’ve covered this already. Now fuck me.”

Nico growled and plunged a second finger inside Onyx.

Onyx clenched and made a satisfied sound. He draped his tail out of the way, the base forming a sensual arch from the top of his crack as the rest of it settled along his spine.

Nico gripped the lavender base and watched it flush deeper, red blooming within as color spread down Onyx’s ass.

His hole flushed red, then faded to lavender around Nico’s fingers.

Nico almost came in his pants.

Onyx shouted, hips bucking. His tail muscle quivered in Nico’s grip, and Nico stroked on instinct. Onyx moaned like was getting the best fuck of his life. Damnation, Nico only had two fingers in him.

He pumped his fingers, watching Onyx’s lavender hole suck them in as he stroked Onyx’s silk-soft tail.

“Nico, fuck, Nico. Fuck!” Onyx stiffened, back arching. His hole convulsed, and the scent of sweet wine and orchids flooded the room.

“Shit, did you come? That’s so fucking hot.” Nico let go and withdrew his fingers, in awe, like this was the first time he’d ever had sex.

“Don’t stop.” Onyx writhed, bucking his hips and hitting nothing but air. “I’ll come for you again. Promise. Get your dick in me.”

“Ngh.” Nico had never dropped his pants so fast. He spread Onyx with one hand and lined up his cock with the other.

The contrast of dark skin against lavender made his head spin.

“Nico, I need you,” Onyx panted.

He pushed in, mesmerized by the sight of his cockhead breaching Onyx’s tight hole.

The scent of orchids intensified as heat enveloped Nico’s cock. Onyx was so wet and tight. Slick oozed out of him and slid down Nico’s shaft.

“That how bad you wanted this cock? You’re dripping for it?”

Onyx bit back a strangled cry. “Yes.”

Nico snapped his hips forward, settling fully inside. “You’re so hot. Shit, Onyx.”

“Demon fire. No other hole is ever going to be good enough for you again.”

“Fuck no. Not after you.” Nico gripped Onyx’s hips and thrust, unable to hold back.

He was possessed. Fevered. Onyx’s sweet orchid scent was like a drug, spurring him higher. Nico thrust like a wild animal. Their skin slapped, and Onyx’s slick ran down Nico’s balls.

“Fuck me, Nico.” Onyx bucked his hips, meeting Nico’s thrusts. “I’ll be good for you. Ugh, fill me with your cum and I promise I’ll be good.”

Nico’s brain short circuited and he pounded Onyx’s ass like the world was about to end.

He tore his gaze from the place they joined and found Onyx’s burning eyes fixed on him, fangs down, his mouth open, allowing his loud moans to fill the room unrestrained.

Every time Nico’s hips slapped Onyx’s reddened ass, his fiery eyes flared. Onyx’s pale horns shimmered, the blush almost reaching their pointed tips.

No one had ever looked at Nico with so much naked desire.

Nico hauled Onyx’s hips back as he thrust. He reached for Onyx’s dick and found him hard and dripping, even after coming once already.

It nearly sent Nico over the edge. He managed to hold off and took hold of Onyx’s tail, finding it girthier than the slender cock in his other hand, both equally smooth.

Onyx whimpered and squirmed, bracing against the couch as he thrust backward. Nico found his rhythm again, each jackhammered thrust sending Onyx’s tail and cock fucking into his fists.

Onyx shouted and cum spilled over Nico’s fingers, his hole strangling his cock. Onyx’s tail quivered, and Nico’s hips stuttered as he buried himself deeper, filling Onyx with his cum.

Nico had never had a breeding kink, but he found himself reveling in pumping Onyx full of his seed, never happier that fucking immortals meant no need for condoms.

He dropped forward and buried his face in Onyx’s sweaty neck, panting and sucking in deep lungfuls of Onyx’s sweet scent.

Nico pressed a kiss to the soft hair behind Onyx’s ear.

“Was I good?” Onyx whispered.

Nico’s heart skipped. “So good. My perfect little butterfly.”
