through the demon, holding him back. Every word pulled on his strings, ramping up his desire from mild curiosity to focused need. And Severn, attuned to the moment, felt it all.
He dropped his free hand, cupped Lux’s large cock through the trousers, and leaned so close his chest pressed against Luxen’s. “Back out now, if you like. There’d be no shame in it.” Lux’s heat warmed Severn through, rousing the demon within, making his own cock finally pay attention. Overthinking this would get him in trouble. Better to throw himself into the task and get it done.
Lux caught Severn’s chin in his firm grip, leaned for the kiss, and hesitated, mouth so close to Severn’s they shared breaths. And then his wings slowly unfurled, drawing Severn’s gaze. Lux’s mouth was on his, slowly at first, so achingly soft and full of demon potency. Ether began to shimmer off his shoulders and dance across his wings, and Severn groaned at the taste of it on his tongue. Lux’s hand swooped around and clutched his ass, grinding him closer, smothering him in the hot, hard feel of demon.
Lux’s sharp teeth drew blood. Severn swallowed it, sensing the lord coming undone in the moment. He knew how he tasted because Mikhail had tasted the same—like he was the air Lux needed to breathe, like he could bask inside him and drink him down and drown in everything angelic. Maybe it wasn’t the same for all demons kissing angels, but considering how fucking hard Lux was, filling Severn’s grip, he assumed he was angel enough to tempt this experienced incubus. Good. If he could distract him, Lux wouldn’t go looking for the real emotions swamping Severn—like how this was a betrayal of the worse kind.
Lux backed Severn into the wall. His hands tugged his shirt free of his pants and rode up his bare chest, nails scraping. But Lux’s overflowing ether was key, and Severn had a hold of it now, drinking it down, feeding, making his demon heart and soul sing. He freed the demon’s cock and grasped the warm, veined shaft.
Breathless, Lux pulled back and nuzzled Severn’s neck. “Hm… you do taste good for an angel.”
Severn could feel just how good as he slowly stroked the demon off. He hopefully radiated his own ether now, evidence he was as into this as Lux was.
The demon’s wings, now flung open, shuddered with every stroke of Severn’s hand along Lux’s eager cock. The member pulsed, and for all Lux’s words about his experience, it wouldn’t take much to push him over the edge. Severn could drop to his knees and suck him off to completion in seconds, but this wasn’t about quick gratification. He needed Lux to believe he was still demon in his heart and soul. If the High Lord trusted him, the others would fall in line.
Severn sensed the lord’s crackling energy, and also how there was a whole lot more of it to give. He wedged his free hand between the demon’s hip and trousers waist and levered the garment down over his ass until it fell to the floor. The undergarments went next, and Lux stood in all his glorious nakedness, crowding Severn against the wall. He seemed the sort to like control, but often the most obvious kink hid some other, deep-seated desire. Severn sank his nails into the demon’s thick ass and raked them down his leg. Lux’s rumbling growl and the waves of ether revealed how he enjoyed pain.
Severn tipped his head back, and Lux’s mouth immediately went to his throat, leaving Severn open to tilt his head and sink his teeth into Lux’s shoulder. Lux grunted, and Severn abruptly stopped his stroking, instead pinching the base of the male’s cock.
Lux threw his head back and his wings out and thrust blindly against Severn’s waist. Precum cooled on Severn’s belly. Gods, his mouth watered to take that piece of demon meat in and work him over, but not yet, not while he had Lux losing himself in his hands. It wouldn’t be the same as Mikhail. Mikhail had been more delicate, even in his mad thrusts and—
Lux opened his eyes and tilted his head.
Fuck.
Severn grabbed him by the neck and smashed their mouths together, fending off all thoughts of Mikhail. He could do this, and drinking Lux’s ether would make crafting a new illusion all the easier. He had to do this. Make them believe he was the Konstantin they knew and feared and loved. He had
