And release.
Minutes ago, I was angry with him. Now, I’m desperate to fuck him.
Enzo has me dancing to whatever music he’s playing and my body craves his attention. It’s ignoring its aches and pains, seeking the pleasure he’ll provide—and the security of being close to him.
“Lie back for me,” he says.
His hands cup my ass as I lean back and the lines in his face deepen. I’ve pulled away, but my hands still cling to his shoulders, refusing to let go. Enzo waits and does that annoying as fuck eyebrow move that warns me I’m testing his patience.
Trust him.
Or obey him anyway.
“Enzo…”
“Daddy.” His voice is harsh again.
My lips straighten into a thin line. “I think I wanted to ask for something. From you.” I glance up at the night sky and the stars cascading through it. “Please, Daddy.”
Enzo’s hands grip my ass and the sharp sting of pain spreads over it.
“It isn’t much,” I say, mumbling, “and I thought it might help.”
My finger drags down his center and his eyes follow it, burning hotter than the fires I witnessed in Hell. It moves onto his stomach and toward his groin, stopping at his belt buckle, and Enzo’s lips let a small moan escape them.
“Who’s being a needy girl?” he says. “What is it you want?”
“You,” I mumble, digging my fingertip into his stomach. “Amaymon.”
He sucks air through his teeth as his breath catches, and his eyes snap up to mine. The red flecks bleed into starlight, lighting with his arousal. They’re flooded with hope so bright it eclipses all the darkness and fire contained in his irises.
“I want us to have this, Enzo. I want this to be ours.”
Enzo nods and grabs my hair, pulling me into him and kissing me roughly. I groan as he takes everything he wants, asserting his dominance and leaving me struggling to keep up.
“Are you sure, baby?” he breathes against my lips.
I moan my response as his tongue thrusts into my mouth, stealing my words and breath as his kiss deepens. My hand grips his belt as my legs tighten around him and his hands play with my ass and lower back, building my arousal until it matches his.
“Lie back, baby girl.”
I lean back against his hands and rest my back on the water. I float in its warmth as Enzo adjusts my legs and hips, keeping them in place around him but at a more comfortable angle. A more exposing one too.
Especially when his magic washes over me and renders me naked in seconds.
“Eyes on me.”
My gaze wanders up him as darkness floods through his eyes and the flecks of red turn crimson. They dazzle like blood red rubies and the starlight dances around them, shimmering with as much excitement as the desire pulsing through me.
Enzo’s skin darkens, changing to the color of steel blue and his muscles grow, increasing his size. His clothes fade away as he changes and the markings on his skin appear, deep black lines and curves, symbolizing things I don’t understand.
His fingers turn to claws and his size increases until he’s almost all I see. I stare at his face, seeing the vicious teeth and hideous horns. They send a tremor through my soul and I brace against it, remembering that this is Enzo and I am safe.
Mostly.
Probably.
The angles of his face are sharp and his smile more wicked. It’s truly devilish. It ought to strike terror into me, but it doesn’t. As should the wings that protrude from his back, clearly designed to intimidate, cripple and annihilate. They’re lined with talons and, if I had any doubt about Enzo being a monster, they extinguish it.
