She shattered in my arms, her eyes rolling back before she shoved her face to my neck and she bit down. With every pulse of her tight cunt around my dick, I gritted my teeth. I loved that her inhibitions were so wild and free. I wasn’t ready for it to end. Yet, it wasn’t long before I couldn’t help it.

One arm wrapped around her back to hold her close to my chest. She clung to me just as tightly. As deep as I could, I shoved my thick shaft inside her and exploded.

It. Was. Incredible.

Best feeling I’d ever experienced. I hoped it wasn’t this good only because I’d inadvertently superimposed my need upon her. That line of thought immediately gave me pause.

It was completely out of character for me.

I did what I wanted, when I wanted. Without regret, I took what I wanted.

Withdrawing, I tried to ignore her whimper of protest. Then I set her on her feet. Her knees buckled, and I steadied her by grabbing her arms.

“You should probably rest. I’ll have Titus show you to your room and bring you something to eat. Then he’ll draw you a bath.” I stepped back, my tunic falling in place over my softening dick.

“But—” she began, casting a confused glance over at the bed.

“This is my room, you will be in the adjoining suite,” I explained, putting more distance between us. Inside my chest, a small string was tugged and my resolve to keep her away from any emotions I had, began to unravel.

“You will sleep in my bed.” Shock hit me when the words left my lips.

Twin patches of pink bloomed on her cheeks.

“I’ll be back,” I muttered, then quickly exited my room.

“I want you to locate her family. Find out what kind of people willingly trade their daughter to be a courtesan at the emperor’s whims.”

“Why?” He appeared shocked and rightfully so. Normally, I wouldn’t give a shit about anyone’s reasons for the stupid things they did.

“Because I told you to.”

Haidyn’s jaw clenched, but he bowed in deference. Why I didn’t tell him that I made a promise to keep them safe, was beyond me. Perhaps because I didn’t negotiate or make deals with anyone that didn’t benefit me or Hades. Though her agreement to stay with me willingly absolutely benefited me.

Either way, I had my reasons and didn’t have to explain myself.

I would keep her until it no longer suited my purposes.

Then I would either cut her loose—or dispose of her.

CHAPTER FIVE

Someone was hunting me.

Me.

The motherfucking king of demons.

The hunter had become the hunted, and it pissed me off.

During my most recent visit to the palace, I’d stopped in the markets looking for a certain someone who was coming due on their agreement. I liked to ensure my debts were where they were supposed to be ahead of time. It prevented unnecessary time wasted on the night of collection.

As I passed a side street, I paused. A sniff verified what I thought I’d smelled. The werewolf was nearby. Now that I knew one was on the loose, I knew to be observant of their scent.

Scanning the crowd, I saw only mortal humans and the occasional demon. As I pushed through the crowd, I tried to find the source. It eluded me, but I couldn’t shake the feeling or the scent.

It had to be in human form. Yet for me not to be able to detect it from its mortal camouflage was disturbing. The only way it would be able to do that was with the help of a very powerful witch—or another demon.

“Come to the market. Immediately,” I called out to Haidyn.
