BRAVING THE DARKNESS: One Night With The Demon King
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2
Chapter 6 – Three Weeks
PATREA.
Lucius was already gone when I came out of the bathroom, which I was thankful for as I didn’t bring any clothes inside. I was hoping he would not pop back while I was still n*ake*d.
But regardless of whether I knew he could come back anytime soon, I took my time walking around in just my underwear. I had no idea what I was aiming for.
After a long time, I had fixed myself and was already ready to head down for breakfast, yet he was still nowhere, and I didn’t know if I was relieved or disappointed.
I was already gearing up to agree with his request, but maybe I should wait until he asks for it again. Maybe something came up in the underworld that needed his attention.
When I finally made it out of my bedroom, I saw Althea stepping out of her room at the same time, and happiness was evident on her face.
“Wow! You looked so fresh, Patrea!” She exclaimed. “How was your night?”
“I didn’t have any nightmares. Not even any dreams at all. I slept the whole six hours without any interruption.” I couldn’t stop beaming at her as we walked together down the stairs.
“And all this time Lucius was there? He didn’t leave?”
I just nodded my head, a warm smile curling on my lips.
“Maybe he’s the one giving you those nightmares?” “I don’t think so. Because when I told him maybe it was an incubus, I swear I saw him getting angry. If it was him, he would just laugh it off.” And something in me didn’t want to believe he would do that.
“He likes you.”
“He doesn’t.”
“If I remember it right, he almost died twice to save you. Am I right?”
“He’s lusting after me. There wasn’t anything else to it.”
“Same thing. So did you do it?”
“Did what?”
“Have s*e*x.”
“Althea!”
She threw her head back as she giggled, while her hand was holding onto the railings. “Why not? I mean, it’s probably the reason you had a good sleep. So was he good in bed?”
I chuckled softly before I shook my head. “We just slept.”
“I’m already eighteen, so no need to lie to me,” she groaned.
“We didn’t do anything. I swear to your mother’s grave.”
“He’s a demon!”
“I know that!”
“How could he not take advantage? It was actually the reason I thought why you stopped me from checking on you last night. Because I might see something I’m not supposed to see.”
“Oh, spirits! “Why would you think of that?”
“Think of what?” Lucy’s voice came from the other end of the hallway.
She was walking in our direction with Adan beside her. They probably came from the office.
“Guess who slept in Patrea’s room?” She turned to face Lucy, her brows wiggling.
“Althea…” I warned her.
“Lucius?” Lucy answered without batting an eyelash.
“You knew?” Althea asked, her eyes rounding as we followed Lucy and Adan, who motioned for us to go to one of the kitchens in this packhouse that only the rank wolves and their families were allowed to use.
We sat by the counter before Lucy spoke. “We moved the breakfast to eight-thirty as Kingston and Dad had to check on something first. So we can talk here while waiting for breakfast. Anyway, on your question. I felt his aura the whole night, and when I asked my mate he said the last time he checked, he was in Patrea’s room, so I a*s*sumed he stayed there as Aiden was with Mom and Dad, so he had nowhere else to be.”
“Do you think Lucius has an obsession with my grandmother?” Althea asked again, making my eyes roll as I crossed my arms against my chest and leaned back on the chair in which I was seated.
“If he watches her like a hawk, then probably…” “Lucy..” Adan growled lowly as if warning her.
And it was only then that Lucy’s words sunk in. ” What do you mean by watching me? Is your brother stalking me? With his hologram?”
Lucy bit her bottom lip before she smiled sheepishly. “It has something to do with being a demon and the contract you made. You know he’s going to go after it.”
“So he told you about the contract?” I asked, biting my bottom lip.
“I shouldn’t be talking here. I’m blowing everything out of proportion.” Lucy let out a deep sigh as our eyes met. “Look, Patrea, I can talk to Lucius about voiding the contract. I’m sure with a little persuasion he will agree to void it, so you don’ t need to be pressured about it.”
“He actually wasn’t pressuring me, and I’m thankful for that. So, no need to tell him anything. I don’t want him to think I’m crying foul when he’s been nothing but nice to me.”
“Nice? Lucius is nice?” Adan asked, his brows hiking up.
I nodded my head, and I felt my cheeks burning.
Why was I defending him? He was stalking me, and that was not nice.
“He stayed with me the whole night, and he stayed on his side of the bed…”
“Damn, your brother is turning into a saint. I don’t think I could stay in bed with you and not touch you at all, Lucy.” Adan was chuckling as he poured coffee into the empty cups in front of us before nudging them forward, one by one.
“You forgot you didn’t touch me on my first night here. You just let me sleep…” Lucy teased him.
Adan’s eyes softened but he didn’t answer. Instead, he smiled and leaned over to kiss Lucy’s forehead before continuing with what he was doing.
“Maybe Lucius likes you, Mama,” Althea stated. Recently, she would only call me Mama whenever she was sad or serious about what she was trying to point out.
“Demons…” I was about to say demons don’t have the capacity to like someone aside from their obsession to rule over them and play with them, but then Lucy was here. So I shut down the idea and talked about another thing. “Well, he has this proposal and asked if he can spend three weeks with me.”
“What?” Lucy and Adan spoke at the same time, with only Lucy continuing. “Is he taking you back to the underworld?”
“No. He said he could stay at our house. And he said that after three weeks, if I can’t still get comfortable with the idea of having… to do it with him, he will void the contract.”
“Wow. Did Lucius suggest that? Stay here in the human realms for three weeks?” Lucy asked.
I just nodded my head in response.
“What have you done to the demon king?” Lucy looked amazed.
“And where will I stay in those three weeks?” Althea asked, her mouth twitching into a grin. And it gave me a reason not to answer Lucy because I had no idea what I should say.
“In the house,” I told her.
“No way I will stay there with you and Lucius. What will I do there? The fire extinguisher? Spotter? Or sc*orer?”
Adan laughed out so loud as Lucy giggled, and it just made my cheeks burn. I was thankful we were early, and the rest of the people who should join us for Lucy’s breakfast were nowhere here yet.
“You’re welcome to stay here. I’m sure we can figure a way to bring you to your university and back here.” Lucy said before winking at Althea, her fingers flicking which means she could just easily transport and pick her up whenever she wants since their territory was four hours away from her university.
“Or I know a pack who will welcome you wholeheartedly,” Adan stated this without looking at anyone and simply continued to mix his coffee using a small spoon. “Because I think the packhouse is too small for a witch and a demon.” “You’re bluffing, right?” Althea asked her
shoulders slumping. “Am I not welcome here, Lucy? II
“Adan is just teasing you. Stay with us and leave the house to Lucius and Patrea. Two witches and a demon is too much…”
“I haven’t decided yet…” I chuckled, but my heart was thudding loudly. I wondered if Lucius was looking right now.
“Well, I decided for you already. Tell him he can come anytime, and I will be out the door in an instant. I can stay with my friends too, so it’s not a problem.”
“No. You’re staying here.” Adan immediately interrupted.
“I thought this place is too small for all of us?”
“I can hand you over to the neighboring pack if it gets crowded here, but you can’t stay with your human friends.”
“And why is that?”
“Not safe for you.” He answered.
“I’m a witch… I can definitely take care of myself.” “How about we discuss this if Lucius and Patrea have already agreed on their plans? And then you can move here. Don’t mind, Adan, you’re not going anywhere but here, unless you want to.”
“Sounds good to me.” Althea nodded her head before tilting her face in my direction. “So, Patrea, when do you think your new roommate can move in?”
“What on earth happened to you that you’re rooting for him? I thought you hated demons?”
“I thought you hated demons too? But how come you’re all smiles while you talk about him?”
“Am I?” I asked, my brow furrowed, before shifting my gaze between the three of them, who were all nodding their heads as if they were conspiring against me.
I had no idea why I told them about this, but I guess if Lucius pushed for this, they would still know about it.
And from the looks of it, they had nothing against Lucius’ suggestion, so maybe it will work.
And maybe with him around, I could get answers on how to stop my nightmares.
LUCIUS.
I grunted loudly as I sat on the throne-like chair in my chamber while three she-demons worshipped my d*ic*k and my feet. This had been going on for a while, and although my c*oc*k was hard and ready to pound on someone, I lacked the willpower to act.
The moment I left Patrea’s bedroom, I knew I needed my release, so I summoned the she- demons to appear here, and they’d been on their knees the whole time, but all I could think about was Patrea and the little piece of skin she flashed at me this morning.
I wanted more.
I opened a hologram and watched as she strutted around her room in just her p*an*tie*s and bra. I hissed before I flicked my fingers, and the three demons at my feet vanished.
Black veins crept everywhere in my skin as my eyes blazed red. My lust was surging forward.
I wrapped my black fingers around my hard c*oc*k, and began moving it up and down in a slow, tortuous motion while my eyes were fixated on the female I was lusting after.
I had always thought that the veins in the she- demon’s skin were the most attractive feature of a female, but seeing her slightly tanned skin even with the appearance of some scars was leaving me in awe.
Patrea’s body was perfect. Her @sswas small but round, and her bre@sts were proportionate to it, but she carried herself well.
I grunted loudly, almost roared, when she suddenly bent over and propped her elbows on the vanity dresser while staring at herself in the mirror and talking to herself.
I moved the view so I was directly behind her as I moved out of my chair and stood in front of the hologram – as if I were standing behind her @ssand began jerking off faster and harder. Grunts and hisses filled my chambers as I imagined f*uc*king the witch that had been occupying my cycles for some time now.
“Patrea! f*uc*k!” I grunted loudly as my body shuddered and black mist covered my entire body as my cum spewed out of my c*oc*k in the direction of my hologram as if hitting her @ssand back.
It took a while before I was able to ride out my o*rgasms, but it was the same moment that she turned around and looked straight ahead as if she were seeing me.
A devilish grin crossed my face as I slowly retracted my fangs that had come out without my notice before swiping my tongue over my teeth.
I wanted the three weeks with her, but I wasn’t sure I could let her go after that if she decided not to have s*e*x with me.
I wanted a taste of her, and I would get it by whatever means, even if that meant doing things a demon would never usually do.
