The pounding in my head was the first thing I noticed when I finally came to. My body was wrapped in something warm and soft, reminding me of soft fur or plush of some kind. Opening my eyes slowly, I winced when a sharp pain that rocketed through my forehead."Ugh…"Untangling my arm from my cocoon, I pressed the heel of my palm into my brow bone. The added pressure of it relieved some of the tension stored there, but it wasn't enough to completely take away my pounding head. That aphrodisiac was no joke. I'd never had that stuff before, but I could see why coming down from it was a popular subject among habitual users. When I went to open my eyes again, I focused on the darkness surrounding me. It wasn't pitch-black wherever I was, with some kind of dim light source bathing the ceiling in a faint blue tone. I watched it for a while, letting my body slowly wake up along with the rest of me. All of my limbs felt heavy and out of place, weighed down by an invisible anvil
He let me go.The action rang loudly in my head.He let me go… Why?We'd barely shared any parting words when he'd taken me down the nineteen flights to ground level, where a car was indeed waiting for me. I'd been completely flabbergasted to realize he lived in the penthouse at one of the most expensive highrises in the D.C. area. Even the doorman had greeted him by name. It'd left me baffled as I'd gotten into the car and soon headed off, leaving the demon I'd been searching for a figure who slowly grew smaller out the rearview window. It couldn't be that easy… right? Finding him, where he lived, and him not sucking my soul from my body… it wouldn't be handed to me without any kind of karma attached to it, right?It seemed close to impossible not to look this gift horse in the mouth. The desperation to figure out why he hadn't harmed me, coupled with wanting to complete this damn mission and go home, were both equally pressing matters.
I followed them a good twenty feet behind. How good Zaine's senses were when he had his prey entwined in his web, I wasn't sure. Testing it wasn't on my list of to-do's, however. He nodded to the bouncer manning the roped-off section before skating by easily.Honestly, it kind of impressed me with how easy it was for him to scoop someone up and then take them off to meet their death. I'm surprised more people hadn't put two-and-two together yet about him and the dead women he'd left behind. I waited until they disappeared into one of the curtained rooms before heading over to the bouncer and flashing my ID. "Got a suspect I'm looking into."He raised his brow at me, snatching my ID out of my hands. "Suspect? Who?"I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him. Humans were so fucking nosey."Classified.""You with the government?"Technically, I was. Just not his."I'm a P.I.""Oh shit," he quickly handed my ID back to me, pulling back th
I ran hard and fast back to my motel room. What did I do? What the fuck did any of this mean? Why hadn't he killed her?The questions screamed inside of my head for the entire block. That woman had been blissed out of her mind but she'd been far from dead and it hadn't looked like Zaine was interested in killing her. If he wanted to, he wouldn't mid-orgasm, right?Fuck. I should've dragged her out of there when I had the chance. I couldn't be certain that he wouldn't kill her after he was done getting off and sucking her dry. How stupid I was to assume he'd been done when he'd propositioned me for my services. He could've wanted us both drained—a two for one special.I took the key to my motel room out of my pocket and jammed it into the door with shaky hands. I needed to call Jeffery for some kind of backup and get another agent over here to make sure I didn't become a sex demon's next meal. What the hell took incubi down anyway? Nothing traditional from wha
I stared up at the ceiling for what felt like hours, completely empty-headed.In that time, I had no idea what happened to Zaine or where he went. He'd covered me at some point, tucking me into bed with the sheets drawn up to my chest. I'd been grateful for the care, even if I couldn't express it properly. I didn't sleep, but I did rest. A dull high pulsed through me, much different than the aphrodisia. This was much more satisfying.Noises from inside my room had me sitting up eventually, pulling the sheets down from around my shoulders to pool in my lap. The light from outside had risen again, signaling I'd wasted another night doing jack shit but running around chasing an incubus. Ugh, this mission was starting to blow.A figure sat on my floor, back facing me and hunched over while they played with something. It was hard to see what from this angle, along with the only light source in the room coming from the tops of my curtains where they weren't flush a
My head still felt like it was underwater by the time the car Zaine had ordered pulled up to my motel door. Meet the other sex demons in this area… what a wild fucking concept. How was it that every time I thought I knew something about incubuses, Zaine turned around and surprised me with a fact that completely negated that very thing?I was starting to believe everything I'd learned so far had been completely made up.Despite my body's incessant want to stay in my motel room and remain a pillow princess for the next few hours after that wild fucking ride messing around with Zaine, I ignored it and climbed into the car as it pulled up. Zaine graciously held the door open for me. I wanted to make fun of him for suddenly acting like a gentleman after he just got done tongue-fucking me to death and letting me dry-hump him, but the words were hard to form even as I snipped out a quick 'thank you' to him. He got in after me and, after telling the driver where we
He brought me to one of the locked rooms, knocking twice while keeping me hugged to his side. A moment later the door was opened, a naked man standing there looking high as hell. "Kaius," he greeted.My captor—Kaius—pulled me inside. All around me was the heavy scent of sex hanging in the air. Blinking a few times to adjust to the difference in light, I could see bodies moving around together in tandem. The sounds of moaning pleasure rocketed to my core, turning me on instantly, the sound of slapping skin against skin feeding that deep need to be filled with a hard cock.I groaned despite myself, rubbing my body into Kaius' side. His hormones—so much different feeling than Zaine's—prickled against my skin like pins and needles. He laughed, patting my hip. "There, there. We'll get you all warmed up in no time."Leading me deeper into the room, I could see most of the people in here were couples spread out on various couches, beds, and even the floor while they
I stuck like glue to Zaine's side as he led me down to the ground floor and back to where the atrium was on the other side of the mansion. The property was beautiful, I had to say. It was all very tastefully decorated with fine art and carefully picked furniture that matched the theme of deco-art impeccably. It was easy to tell where Zaine got his inspiration from. "Did you grow up here?" I asked, ducking under his arm when he held the door to the atrium open for me."Yes. Why?"Stepping into it, I was immediately hit with hot and humid air. All around us were large plants that reached close to the glass ceiling. The entire place was curved into a sphere, lit up by the beautiful sunset that casted a reddish glow over the bright green plants. I ran my hands over some of the leafs, taking in their waxy surfaces with interest. "Rianne."Turning to him, I saw him hovering close to me. He had a pensive expression on his face that seemed as out of place
