To Summon a Demon (11 page)

“And you’ve never seen this Fae weapon before?”

“No.” Gaap stroked a rough finger over the arch of her brow. “We’re working on trying to unlock him from the prison.”

The Demons had already been imprisoned for thousands of years. The unnatural restraint must be a horrible kind of torture. And she had brought this down upon Gaap’s friend.

Upon Gaap.

A wicked bruise, the size of a cantaloupe, marred his neck. Her gaze tracked over his body and took in the brutal results of the Fae’s attack. Large blue and purple marks splattered over his skin like an obscene modern painting.

With a trembling hand, she traced light circles around the wounds and bore witness to the evidence of her betrayal. “I’m sorry.”

He brushed his lips over the curve of her cheek. “I know.”

She lay not quite in the circle of his arms, savoring the soft linens and his subtle touches as he kissed the other cheek so very gently.

“Are you going to kill me now?” She had to know. Had to know what would happen next.

He chuckled and the sound rumbled through his entire body and transmitted to hers. “I’m sure there will be days when I am ready to strangle you.”

Anticipation thudded in her heart. She peered through her lashes at him, wondered exactly what he meant, and stopped cold at the lust in his gaze.

But he didn’t make a move.

To hell with waiting.

“What exactly are you saying?”

“You cannot live in your cottage anymore,” he proclaimed.

Right. Like he would decide that for her.

“The Fae know where you live. They will come after you.”

That was what he meant. Screw that. “I’ve taken care of myself for ten long years. I’ll be fine.”

Lili pushed the soft satin sheets from her naked body. Naked?

Her breasts swung in the cool sea air, her nipples tightened painfully.

Gaap’s gaze was glued to her body.

“You’ll be fine right here.” He ordered, his expression fierce.

“Why?” She leaned closer until her face was right in his.

His breathing heightened. A flush spread across his cheekbones as her breast swung against his rock-hard pectorals. He groaned heartily and curled his fingers around her breast.

The heat of his hand against her chilled flesh was like a brand searing into her skin, claiming her.

As she wanted to be claimed.

Not protected.

“I think I should leave.” She wanted to moan as his fingers played with her nipple and a rush of desire flooded her sex.

“You’re staying.” He dipped his head to close his lips around her nipple. The heat from his mouth was even more shocking than his hand. He sucked her nipple, flattened that agile tongue of his and pressed hard against the roof of his mouth.

Arousal heated her core.

Lili fisted her fingers in his hair. “This won’t solve anything,” she panted.

Her nipple escaped from his lips with a pop. “It’ll solve this.” He nudged his thick rod of an erection against her bare wet curls. The thick knob of his head rubbed her clitoris until she almost came from that slight contact.

But he was holding back, treating her differently.

“Ah,” she sighed. “But you don’t really want me.”

Even as her body wept for his cock and her nerves tingled at every point they touched.

“Wrong.” He growled. “I need you.”

"It's the summoning." Her hopes were deflated. The book had warned of this. His feelings weren't real. Her feelings weren't real.

"Excuse me?" Gaap lifted off her body and stood. His cock was proudly erect in the sea breeze.

"You think your magick spell did this?"

"Yes." She lay sprawled on the blanket, her body open to the sun and the sea. The breeze swirled, licked at her legs, and curled around her stomach

Gaap threw back his head and laughed. "Zepar, show yourself."

The Demon of Seduction appeared between the mounded rocks. His broad form and golden hair gleaming from the valley of the stone breasts.

She should cover herself.

Zepar approached slowly. His gaze firmly fixed on Lili's exposed body and the wetness between her legs.

"She thinks the Demon Summoning has caused this." Gaap fisted his cock and pumped.

Zepar shifted his attention to Gaap's fingers. A smile played around his mouth even as shadowed darkened his eyes. He knelt down on the blanket, seduction in every line of his body. His movements languid and sensual. "You are the cause, sweet."

Lili wanted to scoot away from the Demon but there was nowhere to go. "But the summoning--"

"You're too close, old friend," Gaap warned.

Zepar ignored Gaap. "The summoning merely brings the summoner to the Demon's attention.

There is no compulsion."

"The book said--" Zepar's finger against her mouth stopped her.

"You believe everything you read?" He traced the outline of her lips with his finger, then bent to feather the lightest of kisses against her mouth. "Do not hurt him," he murmured against her mouth.

"Never again." She promised.

"Away from my consort," Gaap commanded.

Zepar smiled grimly and rose to his feet. "The guard keeps watch. You might consider a frolick in the sea to heal your wounds.

Gaap extended his hand toward Lili. "Shall we?"

As he pulled her to her feet, she asked, "Are you going to give me what I want?”

“Gods, woman, you are stubborn.” He rested his forehead on hers. “Are you going to give me what I want?”

She wanted to be done with all this talking. “What do you want?”

“Stay.” He nuzzled the soft skin behind her ear, and then pushed away to stare directly into her eyes. She saw a vulnerability that surprised her. “Please.”

Lili didn't hesitate. "Yes."

"Then let's take Zepar's suggestion and frolick. They ran toward the surf. A large wave crashed onto the shifting sand and the cool salt water lapped at their toes. Gaap dropped to his knees.

"Push your breasts together," he demanded. His mouth sought the swollen peaks of her nipples and tugged them into his mouth. The hot contact and the cool breeze were contrasts in sensation.

Lili's head fell back. The hot sun bathed her battered face. Gaap's tongue curled around both nipples and squeezed while his questing fingers stroked the cleft in her ass and headed for her sex.

Lili felt the gazes of the soldiers guarding them. "They are watching?" she said breathlessly.

"The Fae have grown bolder. I will not put you in jeopardy."

The thought of Demons watching didn't repel her. She arched her back, cupped her breasts, and lifted her wet nipples to the sky.

She whimpered as his knowing fingers stroked the lips of her pussy and spread her wide. He slid his tongue down her stomach and trilled the tip along her clit.

Lili's hips jerked toward him.

"Gods, you're as wet as the ocean," Gaap said triumphantly.

She wanted him inside her. Now.

"Not yet."He nipped at her clitoris. In one lithe move, he stood and lifted her against his chest.

Reflexively her legs straddled his hips and her arms circled his shoulders.

Gaap rubbed his erection along the outside of her womb, hitting the soft spot between her hipbones. He strode boldly into the waves, going deep into the surf. The cool water hit her pussy and she squealed.

Then Gaap shifted angles and slid his cock along her nether lips and teased her with the head.

Blood rushed to her sex. She throbbed with every gentle contact, desperate for more. Desperate for the plunge of his cock into her body. The thick hot length of him to stroke her inside.

“Please,” she finally begged.

The water twirled around them and caressed her breasts like a lover's touch.

“Shhh.” He rubbed his erection against her swollen sex until the head of his cock barely breached her entrance. Each swell of the water pushed him just a little further inside.

She dug her heels into his buttocks and strained toward him.

But Gaap would not be rushed. "Lie back." He slid the heel of his hand from her belly button along the center of her slick wet body and eased her back until she floated on top of the water.

They were connected only at the entrance of her sex and the head of his erection.

Her hair drifted around her head and her breasts bobbed, exposed to the noon day sun and the watchful eyes of the Demon guard. The cold salt water lapped at her body.

"Do you feel my touch?" he whispered silkily. Like a greedy mouth, the water nipped and sucked at the aroused peaks of her nipples, the swollen bud of her clitoris, the hollow of her belly button, the rosette of her ass. Even the engorged slit of her sex felt his subtle bite. Each caress created an answering pull deep within her body.

Every nerve ending tingled.

"Not. Enough." She reached down between their bodies and grasped the stalk of his cock. The heat and the hardness of him seared her hand. “I can’t wait.”

He groaned. “Let go.”

Lili released his cock. In one strong and magnificent thrust, he impaled her, marking her inside, making her his. And she knew she’d never be the same. The walls of her vagina pulsed around his impossibly large cock.

She was faint from the friction as he glided in and out of her body. Her pussy clenched around him and tried to suck him in and keep him there. The erotic ebb and flow of the ocean enhanced the rhythm of their loving. He slipped in and out of her body, with a reverence that took her breath.

And somehow he understood that this was more precious than the fucking that she’d thought she’d wanted.

Lili stared into his eyes, lost in wonder as he loved her tenderly.

Her orgasm built in slow waves. Each slick glide aroused her further. He stroked over her g-spot, the head of his cock massaging that ridge of pleasure. Sensation layered over sensation as her body and mind, swirled with pleasure. Gaap’s cock swelled even harder. The pressure and the pleasure built until in a tidal swell of lust they fell over the precipice together. Her body drowned in a pleasure so intense her heart nearly stopped.

Power sparkled, blindingly bright, as it glittered on the ocean's waves.

A surge of energy surrounded her and his face glowed with love.

When she’d begged the Fae for the opportunity to summon a Demon, she’d never even imagined that this was where she’d end up.

From the ashes of the revenge she’d sought, came the peace she’d really wanted.

Zepar lounged near the fire, staring contemplatively into the flames.

Demons had a new and powerful weapon against the Fae. The Fae might believe they were

winning, but now the Demons had a new secret defense. Love. Love transformed their energy and made them stronger.

Every Demon was tasked with winning the love of a human. Even he, the Demon of Seduction, must find a mate. Zepar smiled.

He was the Demon of Seduction. How hard could it be to make a human fall in love with him?

Chapter Excerpt from The Demon's Bargain: On Sale Now!

http://www.authorlisaalder.blogspot.com

Subtle light flickered against the black walls. Blood red velvet drapes hung at the windows and let in the fading rays of the sun. While flames licked at the soot-stained stone, Vetis, Demon of Corruption, lounged in the velvet upholstered chair, one leg flung over the ornately carved wooden arm, and stared disinterestedly at the destructive, seductive beauty of the flames.

Gods, he needed a distraction. A challenge.

Prince Gaap had ordered them all to gather as much human energy as possible to prepare for an imminent attack by the Fae. Intelligence suggested the Fae would advance soon. The Demons had to be ready. A battle was coming. He understood. And he would fight to the death before he spent another moment trapped beneath the Earth again. But Vetis was deadly bored with

siphoning the energy from dissolute humans bent on destroying their lives with greed.

“A visitor, my Lord.” His current butler, Figgins, bowed.

“Who is it?” Did he even want to know? He swallowed the compulsion to send away without an audience whoever chose to disturb him.

“Edward, the gambler, sir.”

Vetis sighed.

The sod was trying his patience. The man owed Vetis. That was what happened when you

bargained with a Demon...and lost.

“Get a cell ready.” He would draw the energy generated by the man’s fear and be done with him.

“Yes, my Lord.” Figgins clicked his heels together. “Shall I show them in?”

“Them?”

“Ah, yes. He has...a lady with him.”

Stupid sod. He thought to trade another for his debt. How many freaking times had these ignorant humans thought they could get away with cheating a demon? Would they never learn?

“Show them in.”

“Very good sir.”

Figgins opened the grand doors to his chamber with a flourish. A sudden rush of cool air swept through the room and the velvet curtains swayed as if heralding a sea change.

Towing a reluctant woman along in his wake, the fool gambler strode in as if he owned the castle. His hard-soled shoes clicked along the stone floor, the harder tap of her stilettos a counter beat to the gambler’s stride.

Still slouched on his throne chair, Vetis observed them.

Edward the gambler fairly vibrated with energy, radiating an excitement strangely at odds with his predicament. He saw no fear in the man. His thoughts were full of only anticipation.

Yawn
.

So Vetis turned his gaze to the woman. She’d been dressed up like a hooker on the walk. Black stiletto heels, a black micro-mini so short he was sure if she turned around, he’d be able to see the globes of her ass peeking out the bottom, her wares on display. The black halter top was cut down to her belly button, in a wide V, displaying a decent set of breasts. Large, round, real, her nipples poked the black material but there was no doubt it was not from arousal.
