At least after I let myself go, I won’t be bothered with silly things like thoughts.

Iris brain OFF.

Guide brain ON.

I palm Vhex’s shaft in one hand and take his throat in the other. The sleeve of Remy’s coat hangs past my wrist, brushing his skin in the vampire’s rich scent.

Vhex doesn’t notice.

He watches me like a leopard, licking his fang.

I tighten the weave of our souls, connecting deeply to heal him as deeply as I can in the limited time we have.

I’m mentally prepared for the guiding part, but there’s no way to prepare for his big, candy cock.

Vhex’s playful ridges tease my palm as I position his heavy length. Even the head is textured and hot.

Well, shit .

I just drenched the thighs that Remy licked clean.

His thirst echoes in my throat.

He’s willing to do the job again.

“Wait your turn,” I remind him through the flutter in my chest, never breaking eye contact with Vhex.

“I waited,” Vhex says smugly.

“What a good boy.” I stroke his horn as I angle my hips.

“Make me even better.” He reaches under Remy’s coat, claws skating up my skin until he hits my bra.

He unsnaps the clasp and yanks the bra away with the lit-up, manic happiness that he reserves for gutting enemies.

And for me.

His grin knocks my heart to my knees.

Vhex knows what I’m feeling.

He feels what I’m feeling, the same way I feel his feral need to pump me full of come and venom.

Brain OFF.

Brain OFF.

Godsdamnit brain—we all know how this ends.

Just shut the fuck up and let me enjoy the devil-sex!

Going slow isn’t helping.

I rock forward, taking him deep.

“Pretty,” Vhex whispers, watching himself slide inside me with soft, pink eyes.

Something about that look makes my body relax. Defenseless, I fall to the bottom of his cock. The plunge takes me hard and fast.

I gasp.

So full.

But so much for the gentle Vhex.

With a devilish smirk, he flexes his ass and— pop!

All those candy buttons aren’t for show.

They extend from the top of his shaft, locking his cock in place so he can fuck me sideways and never let me go.

“I— enh! ” My body rolls until I can’t feel my toes.

Vhex is just starting to show off.

His springy ridges work themselves up and down, massaging me from the inside out. That hot, itchy sensation clouds my veins with pink haze.

My vision shrinks to a pinprick as my inner thighs tremble.

Holy fucking stars.

Pinned by Vhex’s cock buttons, I can only push forward. I collapse on his chest and hold his face in shaking hands.

He’s not even moving his hips.

His cock fucks me by itself.

“Look at me.” I move in for a kiss with eyes wide open.

“Who else is there?” he replies without a blink.

I lick between his supple lips, fighting the temptation of his fang as I pour my light into his soul.

He sucks the breath from my lungs so sharply that the sound whistles between our teeth.

Vhex chokes with awe.

I slide inside him much fucking deeper than his cock can reach inside of me.

Beneath his lava crust, past the pain that never goes away, Vhex is so achingly molten .

His cock freezes, losing its speed as his soul blisses out.

I plunge into Vhex’s veins and squeeze my thighs to keep his ridiculous body still. His soul-silks don’t just open the door—they roll out the red carpet and take me on a tour, helping me heal his inner burns.

“Blue,” he gasps.

My light reflects in his wide-open pupils.

“Purple. See?” I stroke our joined silks against his cheek, showing him our mixed-together souls. They’re so close to fusing.

It’s delicious agony.

Hovering at the edge of the imprint bridge we can’t cross, Vhex is already so deeply mine that even his magic bleeds to me, waiting for my command.

My fingertips heat like candle wicks.

The power rushes to my head.

I could torch a city.

“Fuck,” he mutters, his thoughts a chaotic swirl. “It’s you. You’re the one.”

I’d ask which one, but brain OFF.

I snake my hips instead.

Vhex hisses, groans.

One hand rips through Remy’s sheets with glittering claws. The other lifts my tangled bra to his teeth.

“Bite. Fang. Need .” Back to single syllables, Vhex snaps at the fabric.

His fang pops through the bra cup as his cock goes full pendulum.

Knocking back and forth, back and forth, he stirs me in a desperate twitch.

“You can come,” I groan, hips stuttering from his pace.

Please come.

I can’t do this anymore.

I hover on the edge with him.

Trembling. Quaking.

All I can see is pink mist, the whole world as fuzzy as my head and the wasps in my veins.

“Bite. Bite .” He tilts his chin, angling for my throat.

Yes.

That.

Vhex has what I need.

He can fix this.

His bite can fix me .

My pussy pulses to agree.

All the itchy heat melts to my center, except for one flaming pinprick that lingers at my throat.

“Venom,” I gasp, already lowering my neck.

His cock trembles.

I flutter back, totally in sync.

Anything Vhex wants.

Anything Vhex needs.

With numb fingers, I push aside my scattered hair. “Bite me. Vhex. Plea?—”

Shadows gag my lips.

A hand with long, eldritch fingers and onyx-tipped claws curls around my throat. “Absolutely not.”
