BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon
Chapter 66 – The Next Best Thing
LUCY…
I spent a little more time with Patrea before I bade her goodbye. I wanted to check if my father had left Kalmerus, but I couldn’t reach Lucius’ mind. He was either having orgies or purposefully shutting down his mind from me. And I had no one to ask. I could approach Martin, my father’s second-in-command, who served as his butler and beta, but I was sure he would inform my father of my inquiries. So he was not a good option.
I just got off the shower and thought maybe I should sleep, but I wanted to see Adan, even just a glimpse of him. I was in my sheer black nightgown that hid nothing at all, and I’d been having the urge to touch myself while thinking of my mate. But a part of me was worried for him.
So I sat in the middle of my big bed and crossed my legs while I tried to focus and imagine the Koshior dungeon. If I get this right, I would be able to see what was happening there at the moment.
But I couldn’t. I still couldn’t master the ability to see something in another area. I’d been trying for the last ten minutes, but nothing was connecting with my mind. I was already getting pissed off.
I grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it across the room at the exact moment Lucius reached my mind.
‘Are you awake?’ he asked.
‘What do you want?’ I snapped at him before I remembered I needed something from him.
‘Whoah! What a temper! Relax! I got something for you…’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I sent a gift as a welcome back present for my favorite sister.’
‘What are you up to, Lucius?’
‘Nothing. I just want to make my favorite sister happy.’ He chuckled, and his demeanor was just adding to my irritation.
‘I’m your only sister, so cut the crap with the favorite.’
‘How about favorite sibling? Will that make the cut now? It has to be! We have hundreds of other siblings, so being my favorite is something! You should take pride in it.’
‘Again, Lucius, what do you want from me?’
‘You will find out in time. But for now, enjoy your gift.’ And then the connection was gone.
“sh*t!” I cursed and threw another pillow. He didn’t even give me time to ask about my father.
I was about to trash my bed in annoyance when a knock came at the door, and it infuriated me more. I didn’t want to be disturbed. I stood up and didn’t even bother to put a robe on because I knew nudity was common here.
I opened one of the doors harshly. I underestimated my own strength that I didn’t realize I pulled too hard, and it swung back when it hit the wall inside my room, but the n@ked man in front of me was fast enough to hold it so it wouldn’t hit me.
Our eyes locked, but I was able to catch myself in time, or I would have smiled at him. I saw his eyes rake my body up and down as his jaw twitched. I could feel a growl about to escape his throat, and I knew I needed to interrupt him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked Simon, who served as the butler of the mansion. It was too late when I realized I asked him not in a demon tongue.
Simon was checking my whole body, and I knew I might get scolded by Adan for going out wearing something like this, but he should know demons were s*e*xual beings. Even with clothes, they would still be l*sting over the she-demons in front of them.
“Eyes up!” I hissed at Simon when he didn’t answer my question.
His body jerked up, and he immediately responded. “My Lady, I brought you a prisoner to entertain you for tonight as per Lord Lucius’ order.”
I almost ch*oked, but instead, I scoffed and feigned laughter. “What will I do with him?”
“It’s at your discretion, my Lady. We could also a*s*sist you if you want.”
“a*s*sist me? Do you think I’m not capable of doing things on my own?” My eyes blazed red as I glared at him before I motioned with my hand, shooing him away. “Go! Go! I don’t need you!”
“Uhm, but the prisoner, my Lady. Don’t you want to take him?”?
“I’ll take him!” I grabbed the chain connecting his shackles and tugged on it, making Adan follow my lead and step inside my chamber. “Now, go!” I growled at Simon, who was still standing in front of me.
“My Lady, I will leave the two keepers here to make sure the prisoner doesn’t harm you,” Simon added.
“Are you insulting me, Simon? Do you think I can’t handle myself? I can K*ll him in an instant if I want to.”
His face turned dark red, and he looked so horrible I wanted to laugh. “My Lady, please don’t K*ll the prisoner, or Lord Lucius will cut my head off. And I’m sure King Lucien would cut me more.”
“Oh, that would be fun! Now, vanish from my sight!” I hissed before giving them a blazing glare. Simon and the keepers scampered away, and I immediately shut the door and locked it.
“What the f*uc*k was that?” Adan growled lowly, but instead of answering, I cupped his face and crushed my lips against his. Sparks erupted between us, and they traveled everywhere in my body, giving me the utmost ple@sure with just his kisses and touches.
Adan’s body relaxed, and I could feel his anger simmering down. His hands went up to my face. He was tightly gripping my jaw and kissing me bruisingly hard, but I didn’t mind. I was kissing him with the same intensity, pouring all my emotions into our kiss while I slowly moved my hand down. My fingers trailed along his perfectly sculpted abs down to his ripped stomach until they found what they were looking for.
A sultry M0@n escaped from my throat as my fingers coiled around his hard c*oc*k and I began stroking him in a slow manner. He was getting harder with every stroke.
“Lucy…” he grunted against my lips before sliding his cuffed hands down to my bre@sts and ma*s*saging them over my sheer nightgown. He was kneading them hard and painfully, but the way he was sending me into l*st overdrive doing it was.
He raised his cuffed hands over my head and positioned me inside his arms before grabbing my @ssand lifting me off the floor. My legs wrapped around his hips, pressing my c0re against his hard c*oc*k while his mouth attacked my neck.
“I will forget for a while that you showed them something that was supposed to be solely mine…” he grumbled. “f*uc*k, Lucy you smell so f*uc*king sweet!”
I giggled softly before I caught his lips and peppered him with kisses. “Punish me, Alpha. I want to be punished really hard for being a bad girl.”
He chuckled before he tilted his head to look at me, and our gazes met. His lips were curled into a wide smile, and his eyes were beaming at me.
But then flashes of him being chained came back to haunt me. My arms coiled around his neck as I slammed my body against his and hugged him tightly while tears pooled in my eyes. “Adan!”
“Lucy…”
“Did they hurt you?” I asked, my hand brushing against his hair, caressing it softly.
“No. They’re just ignoring me there.”
“Good… Oh, Goddess, I missed you.” I pulled away from hugging him and stroked his cheek with my thumb.
“You did? You were ignoring me too.”
“I had to. Or those dungeon keepers there will realize you’re important to me. I already made the mistake of K*lling one for whipping you. I have to lie low, or I can’t take you here in my chamber to punish you…
“Oh! So I will be punished tonight?” I nodded my head as I giggled softly.
“But I want to punish you first… Can I?”
“Yes, Alpha…”
Adan closed his eyes and rested his forehead against mine, and I did the same. We stayed in the same position, just listening to each other’s breathing.
“Can you believe this? We’re fated mates…” He began talking and it made me open my eyes.
“I still don’t understand how it was even possible that I got mated to an Alpha…
“Wasn’t it you who told me once that you’re a princess in another realm and that it should count as an equal to me?” He chuckled, and he sounded really happy.
“Whatever the reason, I won’t be complaining. It’s the next best thing that happened to me.”
“Next best thing?”
“The best thing was when you bought me at the auction. Otherwise, we would never meet and you would not fall in love with me… without the mate bond pull.”
“Hmmm…” He was still smiling from ear to ear before he pressed a kiss on my nose. “I really love you. Do you love me, Lucy?”
I bit my bottom lip as I met his eyes before nodding my head. “I love you, Adan. I really do. But now, look at us, trapped in the underworld.”
“But we have each other.” He added. This man, I was not sure if I deserved his goodness.
“I’m sorry… I will get you out of here. I promise.”
“Us, Lucy. You’re going to get us out of here, and I will help you. I’m not going away here without you.” I swallowed hard to stop myself from saying more. So instead, I just nodded my head.
“Can you remove the shackle? I want to touch you without restrictions.”
“Wait, give me a minute.’
Adan nodded his head and dipped his mouth into my neck again. He began kissing and nibbling on my skin as his hands on my bottom kept squeezing my a*s*s. I connected my mind with Simon, asking for the key to his shackle. In seconds, the keys dropped to the floor just beside where we stood.
Adan let me stand on my feet and removed his arms from around my body before he picked me up and handed me the key. I unlocked it, and as soon as he was freed, he rushed to the bathroom to wash while I tried to connect with Lucius.
‘How long can he stay here in my chambers? Do you know when he’ll be back?’
‘Not really sure, but Father connected with me and asked about you. Told him you were resting.’
‘Do you have any word on whether he found the witch?’
‘No, he hasn’t, but he terrorized Stone’s household.’
I closed my eyes and tried not to let him know his words affected me. He was helping me with Stone, but I had no idea about his real agenda. But did he say, Father terrorized his household? Was Father able to break through the shield? But if he hadn’t found
Althea, did that mean she had left the territory? Oh, Goddess! Please help Althea! I wanted to regret putting her in her but I knew if she didn’t do it, Adan might be dead already.
‘Okay. Will you let me know if he found the witch he was looking for?’
‘If he tells me, otherwise, we will just find out once he returns.’
“Tell me right away once he’s back.’
‘Yes, I will. And by the way, do you know how to transport and take someone with you?’
‘No. I can’t transport someone with me. I haven’t mastered that yet.”
‘Fine. I’ll pop up in there once Father is home, and I’ll take Stone back to his cell.’
‘What the f*uc*k? No way.’ I almost growled. What if we were in the middle of having s*e*x?
‘Well, princess, there’s no other way to return him to his cell in a matter of seconds. Stop whining and go f*uc*k him before you run out of time.’ He stated this in a bored tone before cutting our connection.
