Ruhl flowed away and reformed several yards down the hall, his stance clearly ready for a fight this time. His black fur was like a darker swath of shadow in the middle of the unlit corridor. His green eyes never blinked as he watched me cautiously.
I didn’t move. The impact had jolted me, but it didn’t stop the demon’s fantasies still pounding through my brain. They were all blurry, of course. I’d never actually shared such intimacy with anyone, because the gods knew I couldn’t risk the demon taking control and killing my bed partner.
But that didn’t mean I wasn’t more than capable of dreaming up how it would feel to have my hands on Gwyneira’s skin… my mouth on hers… her silky softness wrapped around every inch of my cock as I?—
“Roan?” Niko whispered behind me.
I froze. Carefully, Ruhl eased out of the aggressive posture he’d adopted, his eerie green eyes going between me and where Niko stood.
I didn’t turn around. There was a chance Niko hadn’t seen me fighting with the wolf. It was dark in the hallway, after all, and my friend had been asleep only a little while ago.
“H-how were you doing that?”
Fuck.
Trembling coursed through me, born of adrenaline and a shit-ton of dread. But I made myself clamber back to my feet and adjust my cock to keep it from tenting my damn pants. Made my expression become as neutral as I could too, and when I turned, I twitched my shoulder in a shrug and held my voice steady. “Doing what?”
“Holding onto Ruhl in his shadow form.”
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I forced my expression to reflect disinterest. “I don’t know. It was something the wolf was doing.”
Ruhl growled.
I spun before I could stop myself, rage surging through me.
The wolf’s teeth bared.
I’d kill him.
“Why is he reacting to you like that?”
I blinked, jarred by the sound of the younger one’s voice. No, my friend’s voice. Niko.
“I-I don’t know,” I lied, turning back to him.
Niko didn’t look convinced.
I shuddered. Fuck, I needed to get out of this hallway. Much more of this and Gwyneira might hear. She might come out here, all sex-mussed and awash with arousal and?—
I strode back into the bedroom. “Close the damn door.”
Niko didn’t react to my rudeness, which only went to show he wasn’t a bastard, even if I was. The door shut. He was still standing in front of it when I turned around, and Ruhl hadn’t followed—though I had no idea how I knew that.
But… good.
“What’s going on?” Niko asked softly, his dark eyes wary. He had his arms crossed, and he stood like he was willing to fight to keep me in here until I answered him.
I could kill him before he drew his next breath.
Shuddering hard, I turned away sharply. Fuck, fuck, fuck me. Fuck this. I had to get out of this fucking?—
“Are you okay?”
The genuine concern in his voice brought me up short, and just about broke me besides. Gods damn me, Niko cared. He always cared, and he didn’t have a fucking clue about the danger he was in. None of them did. They had no idea I was the sick bastard who’d risked every last one of them all these years.
The sick bastard who still didn’t want to leave, even though he damn well should.
