me as a blunt tool, not a precision instrument. I’m impressed… so long as it was all lies. If it wasn’t, then there’s an angel in my den, and we have a problem.”
If Lux discovered his true feelings and the depth of them for Mikhail, he’d kill Severn. But if Severn fought, he’d never be able to return to his home. He really would be the traitor they all thought him to be.
It was beginning to look as though the only way out of this was to fuck Lux and make it damned good while keeping him from wringing the truth out of Severn’s body.
He strode to the cabinet and refilled his glass. “Fine. But in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re hardly physically compatible.” Severn propped his ass on the cabinet’s edge and ran his incubus gaze over Lux in a more studious way. Compared to an angel, Lux was heavier, broader, stronger, with well-defined muscles. Seraphim hadn’t been screwing around when he’d made demons to counter angels. Almost all demons were physically bigger than angels, in all ways.
Lux shrugged the shirt off in the same way as the jacket went. His wings twitched open a little, and his fingers dropped to his belt. “I’m sure we can work with what we have.”
Severn dragged a half smile onto his lips, helped by the alcohol. “And what if you discover you like angel ass?”
Lux gave him a droll look. “Considering how fragile you are, it’s highly unlikely.”
“Samiel had no complaints.”
“So he told me.”
Severn winced at that. Samiel had been reporting everything back to Lux? He hadn’t expected that but should have. The High Lord was within his rights to know everything. It might even be the case that Samiel had been working for Lux all along. Gods, he was out of his depth among these demons in the same way he’d once been out of his depth among angels. But that had changed, and this would too. He was going to seduce Lux until the demon begged for angel. Just so long as Lux didn’t seduce him first. Fucking another incubus always had risks. Not least because it had little to do with pleasure and everything to do with prowess. It wasn’t unheard of for one partner to kill the other, and Severn was at a distinct physical disadvantage. This was not going to be easy.
His gaze dropped to the solid outline of the swelling cock filling out Lux’s trousers. He’d seen bigger, but not often. He tried to swallow but found his mouth had dried. More whiskey went down.
Lux let his belt hang open but didn’t touch his fly. He wasn’t about to get his cock out this early on. They had a long way to go before Severn earned that feast.
Laughter from the other demons in the building sailed in through the open door, but it sounded as though it were another world away. Lux folded his arms, waiting for Severn’s next move.
He set his drink aside and approached. The High Lord’s wings ticked slightly. For all his restraint, he was curious. Severn had once wondered what angel tasted like too. He was beginning to wonder if lusting after angels wasn’t as rare among demons as he’d been raised to believe.
He stopped close enough to reach out and touch Lux’s face but held back, looking him in his dark eyes. “My pupils dilate at mention of Mikhail because fucking an angel is like nothing you’ve ever experienced.”
“I’ve experienced much,” he replied, trying to sound nonplussed, but his tongue darted out to wet his lips in anticipation.
He probably had experienced a great deal. Older than Konstantin by several hundred years, Luxen knew all the tricks. But he’d never had angel. If Severn stood in front of him as Konstantin, they’d probably end up killing each other. But Lux wasn’t aggressive now. He didn’t think Severn a threat.
Severn stepped in and stroked his fingers down Lux’s cheek to the upward tick of his lips. “When I’m done with you, you’ll forever crave angel. Is that what you want?”
Lux caught Severn’s wrist, holding it still. “A bold and unlikely claim.”
Severn rose onto his toes and peered into Lux’s eyes. He saw the reflection of himself in their dark coloring. Blue eyes, golden hair, the epitome of everything demons despised. “When I’m done…” Severn whispered against his lips, “you’ll beg me to fuck you, again and again, because it’ll never be enough.”
Lux’s gaze dropped to his mouth, thinking about claiming it. Tensions strummed
