She pressed her heels into the mattress and rocked against his face as she threw her hands above her head and clutched the pillows, twisting them in her fists. Moan after moan left her lips but he refused to give her what she needed.
“Lucifer,” she whispered breathlessly.
He groaned and dropped lower, and the feel of his cool horns pressing into her thighs sent a stronger bolt of electricity through her, thrilling her and pushing her closer to the edge. He teased her entrance with his tongue, his horns wedging her thighs apart, and then lapped at her pert nub again, circling it before suckling lightly, causing a thousand tiny shivers to cascade through her. He shifted one hand, feathering his fingers down her folds, and her breath caught, anticipation ratcheting up to an unbearable degree as he stroked and caressed, circled her slick entrance but refused to press inside. She screwed her face up, the agonising wait making her restless and hungry, filled with a fierce need to feel him inside her.
She wriggled her hips, tried to catch his finger, to make him enter her, but he evaded her each time she was close.
She couldn’t take it.
“Please,” she murmured and released the pillows and reached for him. She needed more from him than teasing, craved the feel of him inside her, filling her up, being one with her, both of them lost in their passion. “I need you, Lucifer.”
He lifted his head and she managed to open her eyes and look down the length of her body at him.
His golden eyes challenged her to say that again.
“I need you,” she said, holding his gaze, and opened her arms to him. “I love you.”
He growled, flashing fangs, and covered her with his body, driving into her in one hard deep thrust as his mouth claimed hers.
Nina cried into it as his rigid length filled her, stretching her and satisfying her ache to feel him inside her again.
She kissed him as he withdrew and plunged back into her, wrapped her arms around his neck and held on to him. When he tried to slow his frantic pace, she deepened the kiss and twined her legs around him, driving him on. She didn’t want slow. Not this time. She wanted to feel him, feel his passion and need, and know it matched her own. She wanted to show him that they could let go and love each other, with nothing held back.
He grunted and flexed his hips, tearing a moan from her as he thrust deeper inside her before withdrawing almost all the way out of her. Each long stroke of his cock drove her higher, sending her out of her mind with a need to reach the precipice with him and tumble into a hazy abyss of bliss together.
She ploughed the fingers of her right hand through his hair, clinging to him as he drove into her, relentless and wild. Her left hand skimmed across his shoulder, short nails pressing in briefly as he struck deep inside her, pulling a cry of pleasure from her lips. She fumbled, looking for something to grasp and anchor her to him as he made love with her.
Nina grabbed the base of his wing.
Lucifer slammed forwards, driving hard into her, and arched upwards, throwing his head back as he roared.
The heat in her belly exploded, rushing through her, filling her blood with sparks that detonated in waves as her body quivered in time with his, quaking as bliss overcame her. His hard length throbbed, sending rippling aftershocks through her, heightening her pleasure. He breathed hard above her, his face screwed up, reflecting the ecstasy that filled every inch of her. His arms trembled, his body juddering as his climax rolled through him.
When his breathing levelled, he slowly opened his eyes and looked to his right, at her hand where it still grasped his wing, and then down at her, mild surprise written in the handsome lines of his face.
“I didn’t realise they were so sensitive,” she said, breathless as she struggled for air, marvelling at how fiercely he had reacted.
She had thought his horns were a trigger point for him, a method of getting her own way. The way he reacted whenever she touched them was nothing compared with how he had reacted when she had touched his wing.
She couldn’t resist stroking her fingers along the soft arch of it to test her theory.
Lucifer shuddered, his face screwing up again, hips thrusting forwards to drive his softening length deeper into her. Yeah, he definitely had a thing for that. The moment she released him, he huffed and pinned her with a dark look she guessed was meant to be threatening.
“Do not think you have power over me, Little Mortal.”
Nina smiled wickedly. “I don’t think I have power over you, Lucifer.”
She curled her hands around the nape of his neck and drew him down to her, capturing his lips in a soft kiss.
She whispered against his mouth, “I know I do.”
He surprised her by chuckling and rolling with her, drawing her on top of him. “You will have to be patient with me, Nina. It has been a very long time since I had a master. I fear I will not submit to your rule easily or without a fight.”
She pressed a kiss to his lips and stroked her fingers across his chest. “I don’t want to rule you. I don’t want to be your superior. I just want to stand by your side… and perhaps boss you around in the bedroom.”
“That, I can live with. You will make me a fine queen.”
Her eyes widened. She had never thought of herself as his queen, but she supposed if he ruled Hell as its king, she would become known as his lady and the occupants of the realm might view her as their queen. She wasn’t sure she would ever get used to such a thing, and she didn’t even want to think about it right now. She just wanted to be with Lucifer.
His hands slid down to the small of her back and he sighed against her lips.
Nina drew back and caught the flicker of concern surfacing in his eyes, and knew he was thinking about the future again, but in a different way to how she had been doing it.
She was thinking about growing used to living in Hell with him, and he was thinking about losing her.
“You’ll never let anything happen to me, and I know that.” She caressed his face and smiled down at him. “I’m not afraid, Lucifer. I know that we have a future together, and that it’s going to be everything we ever wanted. I believe that in my heart. We’ll get through this and we’ll be a family.”
“Family,” he whispered, earnest desire in his voice that touched her. He wanted that, just as she did.
“Family… me, you and Lili.”
Lucifer frowned. “Lili?”
She nodded and twined her fingers in his black hair. “Short for Lilith. I figured the daughter of the Devil needed a name suited to her parentage.”
He smiled at last, rolled her onto her back and broke away from her. She was about to protest when he dipped his head and pressed his lips to her bare stomach.
“Lili,” he whispered against it and stroked his fingers over it, making her wriggle as he tickled her. “You will be as beautiful as your mother, and as powerful as your father, and more loved than any other child in this world… my precious Lili.”
He lifted his head and looked up at her.
“My precious Nina.” He shifted up so he was eye-level with her again and rested his hand on her stomach as he looked down at her, his golden gaze filled with tenderness. “I will never let anything happen to you. I love you too much to lose you.”
Tears lined her lashes, her heart filled to bursting in her chest. She had never felt so loved and needed, so cherished. “I know. I love you too, my precious Lucifer.”
She lifted her head and kissed him as he wrapped his arms around her, clutching her to him in a way that said that now he had her he was never going to let her go. She held on to him, showing him that she wasn’t going anywhere. She was staying right here with him.
Because he was her home.
And she knew that she was his.
Fate had made their paths cross and they walked a new one now, towards a future they both wanted with all of their hearts.
Together.
