I can barely stand to be in my own skin some days. And that day I hurt you…” Shadows gathered under his eyes as he breathed in a long inhale. “It’s like someone carved my heart right out of my chest. I will live with that agony my whole life that I almost killed the one thing who awakened me. I was so furious that someone else might hurt you and as a result my demon overcame me. I haven’t felt that way in a long time.”
I shuffled over to sit next to him, our legs touching, and I wrapped an arm around his back, my head pressed to his chest. “I had no idea.”
“I don’t want secrets between us, and I want you to know the real me.”
Nodding my head, I answered, “I know. It will take time for me to get my head around this, but I don’t hate you.”
“What I feel for you brings out a different side to my demon. It’s claimed you as his, and he’s a possessive fucking bastard. All he wants is to destroy anyone who touches you.”
I pulled back and looked up at him. “That’s going to be a problem then. You know how I feel about Alaric and Seth, right? You can’t let him hurt them.”
“Never in a million years. And I’m making him understand he may need to share you to keep you.”
It was strange to hear him talking about sharing me, but in truth, I’d already been giving a part of myself to these men. I didn’t even want to bring up the topic of Laz. Not yet anyway, not until I understood what was going on there. God, I was dating a killer, and the scary part was that I was sort of okay with it. In a strange way, I liked that he removed scum from this world. I mean, didn’t we all want to have a little bit of Dexter in us?
Keon placed an arm around me, drawing me closer, and he held me, his breathing slowing.
“I learned that in demon lore, when they fall in love with someone, it’s for eternity and call them their fated mate. That’s why you have the stars on your ankle from me.”
My heart beat faster. Had he just admitted to loving me? Warmth flooded me, and my throat thickened.
I reached over and cupped his face, turning him to look at me. “I grew up in a home void of feelings and emotions, with a vampire who drained the life out of us. But while I had a roof over my head, I never had a mother who told me she loved me.” My voice crackled, and something squeezed my heart.
Our brows touched, and a calming sensation came over me. “I’ll be your everything, Selena, and I’ll never forget to tell you how much you mean to me every day.”
“I forgive you,” I said and kissed him. But inside, I didn’t know if I actually meant it.
Our mouths crashed together, and we kissed chaotically, hungrily. We both came from broken pasts, both searching for something we ended up finding in each other. Something that took me a long while to realize.
His hands roamed over every inch of my body as he desperately pressed me against him. The thickness of his growing cock nestled against my stomach, and I reached down, needing all of him desperately.
He hissed as I stroked his erection over the fabric of his pants. Then suddenly, he broke away and stood, offering me his hand. “Come, let’s go to my room,” he said.
But I was shaking my head while unbuckling his belt. “No, I want you here, now.”
Keon
I watched my kitten crawl over to me and kneel before me like a goddess coming before her god. Her eyes were locked on mine while she placed a hand against my thigh, and her touch against me was an inferno.
My cock was stiff, painful, and needed release. I reached down and unbuttoned my pants, then unzipped myself. My cock sprang out, the cool breeze a welcoming reprieve from the heat swallowing me.
She wrapped her hand around my cock, her fingers barely able to close in around my girth, then she leaned in closer and her delicious rosy mouth slipped over the tip of my erection. Then she licked the tip, flicking it. I groaned, and a rush of thunderous arousal slammed into me.
“That’s it. Lick all my pre-cum.”
Still gripping me, she traced her lips with the tip of her
