Old Demon and the Sea Witch (Welcome to Hell #9) - Eve Langlais Page 0,39

the dip of my belly. His face pressed against the soft skin. The hint of stubble rubbing at my flesh.

It was my turn to gasp as he kissed his way lower, hot, sliding kisses to my thighs, bringing a subtle tremble to them. Then a short cry as he touched my core. He parted my nether lips with a tongue and found me ready for him.

He hummed his appreciation against me as he lapped. Each firm lick of his tongue heightened my pleasure, increased my need.

Until I moaned his name. “Shax.” I held out my arms for him, and he came for me.

His lips found mine, the taste of me on them. He kissed me as the head of his shaft found the softness between my legs.

He pushed in as I grabbed his shoulders and dug in my nails. My head fell back, and my lips parted as he sheathed himself in me. Long and thick. Just the way I wanted him.

As he began to move inside me, I clung to him, loving the weight of him, the sheer maleness. “I love you,” I whispered against the pulse in his neck.

He found my mouth for a torrid kiss as he thrust into me, finding that sweet spot inside. He hit it. Over and over. Could he feel how tight I’d gotten around him?

Because I could sure feel how he pulsed inside me. And when he came?

The hard spasm caused me to ripple, as well. My orgasm hit. Intense and bright. A perfect moment of joining.

And someone just had to ruin it.

Shax: No book can compare to real life.

“Ha, I found you a love match. I knew he was perfect for you. Booyah!” Lucifer fist-pumped at the foot of the bed, earning a glare from me.

Dottie flung an arm over her eyes and groaned. “I will never hear the end of this.”

“End of what? The fact that I’m always right? And I know how to matchmake? Who’s better than that little fucker Cupid? Me. That’s right.” Lucifer did a little dance, and I hid my eyes.

The audience got bigger as Gaia appeared. “Really, Luc? Must you gloat?”

“Fucking right, I need to gloat,” gloated the devil. “The bet was if I won, you’d make me a sandwich.”

That made me remove my arm from my face. “Why do you want her to make you a sandwich? You have a cook.”

“She knows why.” Lucifer winked at Gaia.

Mother Nature tittered so hard, a shower of ladybugs shook out of her gown. The odd lump on the front of her moved. A baby’s face peeked out of the fabric draped over her torso.

“Ma?”

Gaia’s face softened as she glanced at the baby. “We might have to wait until later. The nannies are all still recovering.”

“Nef is available!” Lucifer offered with a wide grin.

Mother Nature narrowed her gaze on Dottie and me. “Why bother that old sorceress when we have two perfectly suitable babysitters right here. They don’t mind, I’m sure.” Gaia’s smile was pure evil.

The devil had never looked hornier.

And I’d never wanted to cry more than when a baby landed on the bed between my witch and me.

“See you in a few hours. Maybe.” Lucifer curled his arm around his wife, and they were gone.

Dottie eyed me over the child’s head and mouthed, “I love you.”

I kind of wanted to jump off the ship to cool my ardor, but I winked. “I love you, too. Wanna help me teach the baby to hogtie his daddy?”

One never knew when that might come in handy. After all, the kid was the Son of Perdition.

The following day as we packed and prepared to depart, Dottie rummaged in her purse, armpit deep, mumbling, “I know it’s in here somewhere.”

She pulled out a wallet. A tiny thing barely large enough for a credit card. “I found it.”

“Found what?”

“My passport. Didn’t you say something about traveling?” She retrieved a battered booklet that had obviously been around and waved it.

“You name a place, and we’ll go.”

“I will right after you take care of this.” She rummaged in the purse some more before pulling out a chunk of stone, jagged on one side but smooth on the other three.

“What is that?”

“As if you can’t guess,” she teased, handing it over.

I stared at the broken tablet, the writing etched into it. “Is that the prophecy? But you said you didn’t have it.”

She smiled at me. “I never said I didn’t find it. Everyone assumed I hadn’t since I didn’t give it to Lucifer.”

“Why didn’t you?”

“For
