BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 4 – Taste Her & Move On

LUCIUS.

“I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath.” I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be uncomfortable already.

I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having a landslide tonight.

“And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk.”

“I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk.”

“Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too relaxed for a king?”

“Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that you put to work on your behalf.”

“So you have hundreds of trusted men?”

“Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead because he trusted me.”

“And tell me why I should trust you after you said that?”

“First and foremost, because you are human, a witch. Not a demon. I don’t trust a demon, but I trust a shifter, a half-demon, and maybe I can add a witch to the mix. So I demand to be trusted back.” She rolled her eyes at me as she sat on the single sofa across the room but directly in front of me. It didn’t escape my notice how her mouth twitched before she let out a full smile. “Demanding…”

“And I’d been making you smile the whole night, it means you’re slowly trusting the demon in front of you.”

“You wish…”

“Come on, Patrea. Let me stay, and we can move on from this topic and focus on what to do next.”

“You’re impatient, aren’t you?”

I was about to answer her when an annoying voice reached my head. ‘Are you here? I can feel your aura.

“Stone connected with me. Give me a moment.” I told Patrea, and she nodded her head before she went to her bathroom.

‘In Patrea’s room.’ I answered him, leaning my back against the soft cushion and extending my legs in a relaxed position.

‘Aren’t you going too fast?’

‘Are you mocking me? This was too slow already.’ ‘I know. Just reminding you not to force her.’

‘Yeah, take it from someone who bought a female to fuck.’

‘Fuckyou.’ He cursed, but he was chuckling.

‘No, thanks. I’ll let Lucija fuck you. I prefer Patrea.’

This past few months, I had let him know that I was craving the witch without letting him know I was stalking her, but I guess he was smart enough to realize I was doing it.

His laughter filled my head before he threw another sarcastic remark. ‘At least one of us is getting laid tonight. And I’m sure it’s not you.’

‘Get lost…’ ‘Good luck, brother. In case you need a bathroom to jerk off, the room beside hers is vacant. Use it. Unlike in the underworld, I prefer privacy in my packhouse.’ He replied before shutting off the mindlink.

If he hadn’t shut off his mind, I would have retorted back.

Privacy?

What did he mean by privacy when I’d seen him and Lucija fucked in nearly every corner of this

packhouse? I wasn’t stalking them, but every time I wanted to check on Luther, I would end up seeing the places they were fucking each other. I was sure the hallway, or the main stairs, for example, were not private places.

“I will just check on Althea and tell her not to come here to check on me tonight.” Patrea’s words snapped me from my thoughts, and I saw her already on her way to the door.

“Scared she will see us having sex?” I teased.

She laughed heartily, and it was like music to my ears. I was enjoying that she was taking this teasing lightly instead of snapping at me as she used to.

She turned around slowly, and the warm smile on her face just took my breath away.

I had always been fascinated with females and the beauty they possessed, but I couldn’t remember getting stuck in a female for this long. Maybe because I hadn’t had my fill of her.

Yes. Taste her and move on.

“Concern that she might see you and start attacking you.” She said.

“If that ever happens, it’s not my fault if one of us ends up dead.”

She hissed as the smile was wiped off her face before her eyes squinted. “Touch Althea, and I’ll be your worst enemy.”

“Why the fuck do those words arouse me? Not the touch Althea, but having you for an enemy.”

“You’re fucked up, Lucius.”

“What have you done to my clothes? Put it back!” “I can’t touch you, at least give me something to look at.”

“Lucius!” I glared at him. And then I felt something heavy.

He changed the lingerie into a long, cotton nightdress that covered every inch of my body from my neck down to my heels. If I were not the victim, I would surely laugh about it.

“Better?” He asked, a mocking smile plastered on his face as he landed on his feet and made his way to my bed.

I saw his clothes change into a white shirt and grey sweatpants, and despite having only his arms visible, he looked really sexy. Or perhaps I said this because it was the first time I had ever seen him wearing sweatpants.

And now I felt so inappropriate in this ugly-looking nightdress he put on me.

“Are you done gloating over my body? Can I slip inside the blanket now?” He winked at me before he pulled over the blanket.

“Who said you’re laying down beside me?”

“Me.”

My eyes rounded. “Wow.”

“I’m not going to touch you. I will just lay down, or would you rather that I sit there by the couch and stare at you all night?” He chuckled as he slipped inside the sheets.

Well, he’s right. Better somewhere I couldn’t see him directly.

“Can you change my nightwear? This is really weird. It’s too warm.”

“You want your pajamas back?” He asked in a monotone voice, but I saw the way his mouth twitched as if he wanted to laugh.

“No… The one after that. I’m more comfortable with it.” I felt my cheeks burning and my heart thudding loudly until I saw Lucius swallow, as if my choice overwhelmed him.

I yanked the blanket onto my side, slipped in, and pulled it up to my throat. “Now you can change me back into that silk nightdress.”

I didn’t want him to think I wanted the sexier lingerie because of him. But it was more comfortable to sleep with.

“There. Better?” He asked as he placed his hands on the back of his head and leaned back on the headboard.

I checked my clothes under the blanket before I nodded my head. “Are you going to stay like that the whole night?”

“Hmmm…” He answered, but with his eyes closed. I turned to my sides, facing him, and anchored my elbow to the bed. I lifted my upper body to rest my cheek on my palm so I could look at him better.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you in your demon form. What do you look like?”
