Iris

Y ien’s white pupils were larger than I’d ever seen them. Black veins stuck out against her skin.

She opened her mouth, letting me get a peek at her sharp fangs. Bloodlust. But she had it under control. It wasn’t something to be scared of. I learned that quickly.

Instead, I saw it as a sign of her desire for me.

Her tongue traced patterns in my leg at the same time her shadows teased my entrance.

She likes being my master. I could see it in her eyes. In the way her shadows attacked me when I asked her to show me what it meant to be hers .

I opened my mouth to tell her to hurry it up, but she pushed two of her shadows into me, effectively stopping me. Fuck. I had never felt so full. Nor had anyone ever made me feel like I would explode with just a single touch.

But there she was, doing everything I never thought possible.

She wasn’t hesitant, like she had been outside. This time, she filled me to the brim, fucking me with her shadows all while her eyes watched my every single reaction.

Her tongue was driving me insane. Teasing me in a way that made it unable to ignore but still nowhere near where I wanted it.

I attempted to buck my hips against her, but her shadows held me in place, controlling my movements so she could use my body like the toy she wanted.

Being restricted by her while she gave me this mind-blowing pleasure was something so freeing it caused my head to swirl. I need more. I needed her until I got sick of moaning her name. Though with the way her tongue traced my cunt, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get enough.

“Just be a good little pet and lie back while I play with what’s mine.”

Fuck. There was even a hint of a smirk on her lips when she said it.

It had never been like this for me. My body was on fire. The only thing bringing me any relief was the steady rhythm of her two shadows fucking me.

But I still needed more.

“Please,” I gasped. “Please use your mouth.”

“On here?” she asked as she descended further between my legs. I gasped when her hot tongue finally flicked against my clit.

My hands flew up to her horns, gripping them and forcing her mouth closer. More. More. More. That’s all that was going through my mind.

The action caused a harsh growl to fall from her lips. I threw my head back against the fluffy pillows as she pulled my clit into her mouth.

“Yes,” I groaned and gripped her horns like my life depended on it.

I could do nothing but lie there as she fucked me. Her hands stayed on my ass while her tongue and shadows did the work of bringing me to my orgasm.

“I’m gonna come, Yien,” I whispered. “Please. Please. Please, keep going.”

She did as I asked, continuing to fuck me until I fell apart beneath her.

“Stay still,” she ordered, pulling away from me. When I looked up at her, a dose of fear shot through me.

Her face looked just like the others as they were bargaining for me. And the thought crossed my mind.

She is going to eat me.

“Are you going to hurt me?” I asked. Her eyes shot to mine.

“No,” she growled. “You’re mine . Mine to keep . Mine to play with. Not to eat.”

But how can I trust her words when she looks to be at odds with herself?

“I’ve never wanted to play with a human like this,” she said. “Not until I met you. And it's all I can think about, but I fear my bloodlust?—”

“It's okay,” I said, part of my fear starting to subside. “I’m your companion for as long as you want me. We can take it slow.”

The fear that remained wasn’t because I thought she would kill me.

It was fear that she would send me back.

She stood back with a sigh, slowly letting her shadows unravel from me.

“I came here to tell you that I need to help out Aris,” she explained. “She was the demon who brought your friend. The spirit seer.”

“My friend?” I asked, sitting up. Sex disappeared from my mind when she said those words. She’s alive?

“I think her name was Mia?”

“She’s alive,” I whispered, relief washing through me.

“Aris doesn't eat humans,” she said, her expression giving away nothing of what she thought about my assumption .

“Like you,” I noted. She gave me a nod. “Is she a companion like me?”

The veins were slowly starting to fade away, and she was coming back to herself more and more as our conversation went on.

“She told me she needed the spirit seer’s help,” she said. “But from the looks of it, she's concerned about her.”

“Is she okay?” I asked, but when I tried to get closer, Yien stepped away.

“She's alright,” she replied, her voice clipped. “But I will make sure when I go see her, if you would like.”

Something burst through my chest.

“Yes, I would like that very much.”

Yien only gave me a stiff nod at that.

“I'll be leaving soon. It’s urgent, and I don't know when I'll be back. But don't go outside. Let the staff know if you need anything.”

I nodded and had to watch as she melded into the shadows, feeling even more confused than when I first arrived here.

And feeling alone for the first time.
