SASHA

I didn’t know what happened. It was like one minute he hated me, and the next he was calling me mate, kissing me, and vowing that I would be safe from my father. I shook my head, feeling like I had whiplash from the change in attitude.

I pushed away from Varos and turned around to open my satchel. I began pulling out the clothing I had brought for him. As I shook out the shirt and then the pants, holding them up to judge the size now that I had seen him, my mind whirled.

I spun on my heel and glared at him. “What is this?” I demanded.

He crossed his arms and glared back at me. “What is what, princess?”

I threw my arms out wide, the legs of the pants smacking me against my ass. I thrust the clothes at him, not giving him the option other than to grab them before they fell to the stone floor. “This, Varos! You hated me yesterday. Why the sudden change in attitude? Why do you care if I live or die? Nothing has changed. I’m still the daughter of the High General. Remember him? The guy who tortured you for thousands of years?”

I knew I was playing with fire, but I had to remind him of why he hated me before he allowed my hopes to rise any higher. He didn’t want me as a mate, and I accepted that. Kissing me without any intention of claiming me was just cruel. But maybe that was his game. Perhaps it was some kind of twisted payback for my very existence.

It hurt to see the snarl return to his face and the look of loathing fill his features. But when he spoke, it wasnt the words I had expected to hear.

“You aren’t his daughter,” he bit out through clenched teeth. “You are nothing to him. Nothing like him. If I hadn’t been blinded by hate and fury when you stepped through those bars, I would have seen it then. Since you rescued me and brought me here at the risk of your own life, you’ve shown that you are nothing but kind and compassionate. So, no. You aren’t his daughter. What you are,” he said softly but with no less menace, “is my mate.”

I stood there gaping at him as my heart thundered away in my chest. I closed my mouth as his words swirled through my head like a tornado. “Don’t fuck with me, Varos,” I snapped.

He stepped back with a smirk playing across his beautiful, harsh features. “I’m not fucking with you, princess. Not yet. But soon.” Then he held up the jeans I’d shoved at him with a frown. “What the hell kind of trousers are these, and more importantly, who the hell do they belong to?”

I couldn’t help it. The giggle burst out of me, and soon, I was doubled over laughing as tears leaked from my eyes. The change in subjects was so incongruous and unexpected that it broke every last bit of tension I’d been holding onto. By the time I’d pulled myself together and straightened up while wiping my eyes, I was no longer scared of Varos or what I meant to him. We were mates. It might take a little more time to come to terms with that. But eventually, hopefully, we would have the future I’d only dreamt of.

“Those are jeans. They are made of denim. I stole them from a friend. He’s another guard who works for Varek. I snuck into his rather disgusting room and swiped them from his drawer. I’d like you to know that I almost died of mortification at what I found in his room, by the way.”

He looked at the pants in disgust. “What did you find?”

I grinned, then shuddered at the memory of touching his pocket pussy. “Just a disgusting sexual toy that men use when they don’t have a woman to be with.”

“You touched something his cock had touched?” he snarled. “I’ll kill him!”

“Eww. Don’t say that. I don’t need the images in my mind. And you can’t kill him. He’s one of your brother’s trusted guards.” I pointed a finger at Varos, hoping I looked stern enough to make him reconsider.

“Fine, I’ll just cut his cock off so he doesn’t have to worry about sticking it anywhere my mate might touch.”

I threw my hands in the air. “Varos! It was in his room. Did you miss the part where I said I snuck in there? His pocket pussy was right where it was supposed to be. Well, if he had any manners, he would have had it tucked away in his nightstand like any normal male would.” I shuddered again and shook my hands much the same way I had before.

“I’ll think about not cutting his cock off as long as you promise not to enter any other male’s room again for any reason.”

I crossed my arms and lifted an eyebrow. “Ever?”

He nodded once. “Ever.”

“That could be a difficult promise to keep. What if he were in there dying and needed help?”

“Then I will help him while you watch from the doorway.”

“You’re impossible.”

He grinned, showing off his sharp fangs. “That’s not the first time I’ve been accused of such.” He held up the jeans again and shook his head. “I’m not certain I will like your Earth realm.”

“Just wait until you taste chocolate cake,” I laughed as I turned around to rifle through my bag for my change of clothing. I didn’t pack much, but I knew I had at least a spare change of underwear. When I turned back around, I nearly swallowed my tongue.

A wave of heat hit me so hard in the gut that I gasped and clutched at my belly. I was suddenly on fire as I took in a fully naked Varos standing mere feet away from me. A vicious hunger roared to life inside me, and within one second to the next, I lost all control of my demon.

My eyes fixated on his cock that grew erect as I watched with a voracious hunger gnawing at my insides. When a bead of pre-come welled at the tip and then rolled over the side of the head, I pounced.

One minute, we were standing feet apart; the next, I had him on his back as he let out a grunt from the impact. I was straddling his thighs, and my mouth was roaming every bare inch of his torso. I licked at his nipples and bit down on one when he moaned. His hiss and thrust of his hips only spurred my demon on.

I moved lower, licking and biting at the ridges of his abdominals, delighting in the taste and feel of him, but my real prize was his cock standing at attention and pulsing in need.

“Fuck, princess. Don’t stop,” he growled out with a hiss. I had no intention of stopping. My demon was in complete control in a way I had never allowed it to be before in my life. There was so much I wanted to do, to taste and to feel.

I only took the time to lick the moisture that leaked from his cock before engulfing it in my mouth. Some part of me was conscious about my fangs, small though they were, to not scraped them against the tender flesh of his cock. I’d never had a cock in my mouth before, but I was already ravenous for it. I needed to get as much of it into my mouth as I possibly could. It wasn’t until it hit the back of my throat that I choked and gagged, tearing another moan from him.

“Fuck!” He bowed up from under me. Suddenly, his hand was griping my thick hair and pushing me back down. “Do that again. It felt fucking fantastic. Choke on my cock, mate. Do it!”

At his encouragement, I sank back down on him, taking every inch until I couldn’t take any more, and once again gagged. I pulled off and looked at him from my position above, knowing that I was acting feral but unable to stop myself. “Please,” I whined. “I need your cock. It hurts.”

“I know, mate. I know,” he soothed. “Use me however you need.”

He reached for my shirt and swiftly had it over my head, making me fall against his stomach as my hands lost my grip on him. The feel of my naked breasts rubbing against his heated flesh felt like heaven and exactly what I needed.

“Yes. Yes! No clothes.” I got up on my knees, and together we had my boots off and my jeans undone before yanking them roughly down my thighs, revealing the trimmed red hair covering my pussy.

He reached for me and ran his claws through the hair with a rumble coming from deep in his chest. When his claw grazed lightly over my clit, I detonated in the first orgasm I’d ever received from another living being. My scream echoed through the cave, and I vaguely recognized the trilling of my pet as he scrambled through the opening of the cave.

In the next instant, I was on my back, and Varos had my jeans in his hands, tugging roughly until they slipped off my feet, finally leaving me as bare as he was. With one large clawed hand gripping my thigh, he lifted my leg, opening me up to his gaze. As I watched him, I realized he was almost as feral as I was, just as hungry for me as I was for him.

I had a brief second of clarity as he lined himself up with my entrance and braced my hands against his chest. “Varos! If we do this?—”

Before I could finish the thought, he was thrusting inside of me, not stopping until he was seated deep within my depths. He stared down at me, shock clearly on his face as mine burned hotter. He swallowed, his eyes telling me more than words how sorry he was for misjudging me and the harsh words he’d said the night before. I placed a fingertip over his lips and smiled softly.

“We’re mates,” he rumbled in his raspy voice, finishing my warning. “Now you’re truly mine.”

Slowly, he withdrew his cock, ensuring that I would feel every inch, then slammed back in even harder than before. As I whimpered at the new sensations, he sped up, setting a pace that had my toes curling and my thighs shaking.

I threw my head back and screamed as the delicious friction his cock caused inside of me sent me over the edge again, headlong into another orgasm. It continued for what seemed like forever as his thrusting cock kept shooting more sparks of pleasure that never seemed to end. Once I caught my breath, a wicked smile curved my lips, and I wasn’t certain if it was my demon or me who spoke.

“My turn.”

It was a good thing he was paying attention because when I grabbed his hips with my sharp claws and hooked my leg over his thigh, I used my skill as a fighter to flip Varos onto his back. Even though I’d surprised him, his reflexes were quick enough to tuck his wings under him to prevent being crushed.

I gasped in pleasurable pain and relief as I sank down on his cock, his immense girth filling me in ways I had never known were possible. “Oh, gods, it’s too much!”

If I thought for a second that I could be in control, he freed me from that misconception immediately. With his claws digging into my thighs where his large palm firmly gripped me, Varos bucked his hips up, filling me with the remaining length I had yet to settle onto. “You can take it, little succubus. That’s what you want, isn’t it? My cock inside your hot cunt, stretching you, filling you, fucking you?”

“Yes,” I moaned, my head thrown back, my eyes squeezed tightly closed.

I felt my hair pulled as he wrapped a fist around the long length and used his hold to guide my head back down to face him. “Open your eyes, mate,” he gritted out through his clenched teeth. “See who it is that is giving you what you need.”

Through the haze of lust that was controlling me, I opened my eyes to see the most magnificent sight of my Varos glaring at me, not with malice, but with determination to ensure that I knew it was him. My mate.

With our gazes connected, we completed our joining. Both of our moans filled the cave as he pulled me down onto him for a final time. As my pussy clamped down, he ruthlessly ground his cock as deep as it could go and released inside of me.

The instant my release subsided, I collapsed, boneless on his broad chest, and panted. His large hands released their commanding hold on my body, and with a gentleness I hadn’t believed he would have been capable of, he stroked them up and down my back. I shivered as the heat of our joining began to subside, and the cool air of the cave took its place.

I nuzzled into the crook of his neck as Varos wrapped one strong hand around the back of my neck under the heavy fall of my hair and the other securely around my waist. That was about the moment total clarity began to take place.

I had done exactly what I was most afraid of. I had lost control and forced myself on someone. What made it worse was that it was the one male who was my mate but didn’t want to be. My actions bonded us forever without giving him a choice. No. Had taken his choice from him after he’d told me that he didn’t want me as his mate. Sure, he had said he knew I wasn’t like my father, but did he really have a complete change of heart so quickly?

He must have felt my body stiffen because he tightened his grip on me, not allowing a single inch of space to come between us as I pressed on his chest with my palms to rise up.

“Varos, I—” I started to choke out on a broken sob, but he interrupted me, sending a riot of goosebumps over my skin as his warm breath ghosted over my ear with his raspy voice.

“You’re going to calm down and listen to me, princess. Listen closely to my words. Everything is okay.”

I couldn’t help the cry of dismay that left me. Nothing was okay. I ruined everything by being the monster I swore I’d never be.

“Shhh,” he soothed. His grip didn’t lessen; if anything, it had grown tighter. Suddenly, we were moving. Before I knew what was happening, Varos was on his feet, and I was still held securely in his arms with my legs wrapped around his waist. He strode through the room and into the next, heading straight for the nearly black pool in the far corner. Every step was a stark reminder that he was still lodged inside of my channel and that he was still incredibly hard.
