She vanished before I could say anything in response, her body dissolving into a deep red mist. I turned toward Noah, mouth agape. “What the hell was that?”
He smirked and chuckled darkly. “That was Lilith. Legendary succubus and owner of this fine establishment.”
“A succubus? Those are incredibly rare creatures. She’s brilliant, hiding here in plain sight.”
“She isn’t in hiding. Lilith wonIniquityfrom Lucifer in a bet. But that’s her story to tell.”
“Don’t Succubi feed off sexual energy?”
“Feed, induce, create... though, they will settle for any extreme emotion when hungry. Sex is their preferred love language, so to speak.” He leaned in and nuzzled my neck. “It’s why there is no monetary cost to utilize the rooms here. One night spent atIniquitycan give her enough energy to survive an entire month. It’s a small price to pay.”
“Smart woman, setting her business up that way.”
“No arguments here. But enough about her. Let’s focus on you and me.”
He ran his tongue up my neck before nipping the tender flesh just below my jaw. My skin pebbled as fresh arousal that had nothing to do with Lilith hit me. “Yes.”
“Come, dove, we have a room waiting for us.”
Noah led me through a dark hallway, down a set of stairs, and to an entire sublevel I hadn’t known existed. While I’d expected a basement to be musty and dank, what I found was something completely different. Walls padded in leather-covered panels dampened the sound, making the space feel incredibly intimate. Red lights illuminated the area, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere, and velvet couches nestled in the corners were covered with lush pillows and soft-looking blankets. The couples who milled around seemed entirely focused on each other, none of them paying attention to us. But it was the soft, sensual music that filled the air that gave this place the ambiance that lived up toIniquity’sname.
This was a place where people did dark, dirty things without being judged. A place where you could give in to your fantasies and live out every scene you could dream of. A place where you could be wholly yourself. I was already more than a little infatuated.
Noah and I walked together, fingers twined, down a hall lined with doors, all identical and missing one key detail.
“Noah, there aren’t any knobs on these doors. How are we supposed to get in?”
“Don’t worry. We’ll know which room is meant for us. Just keep going.”
I nodded, my heart pounding as we kept moving forward. Until a door to my right swung open, revealing an empty room. “Bingo,” I whispered.
Noah ushered me inside, the door gliding closed behind us. Once it clicked shut, the interior flickered into being. It was like stepping out of a luxurious hotel and straight into a castle from the most beloved fairy tale. A large—three times larger than normal—bed took up the center of the room with a canopy of gauzy curtains. Candles littered every surface, flickering merrily while offering subtle illumination. A fireplace roared to life as we moved deeper into the room, the flames casting dancing shadows on the rest of the space.
Something soft fluttered from the ceiling and landed on my arm. I frowned, staring down at the... petal? I plucked the velvet-soft red rose petal off my arm and tipped my face up. A gentle shower of red petals fell from the sky, slowly carpeting the ground and scenting the air with the bite of rose.
The only thing that felt out of place in the romantic setting Lilith provided for us was the frosted window cut into one of the four walls.
“What do you think that’s for?”
Noah looked at me, his lips curling up in a sexy, secretive smile. “It would seem one of us has an exhibition kink.”
The thought of being watched, of someone witnessing these most private, intimate moments, sent a thrill hurtling through me. I guess it wasn’t much of a surprise which one of us he was referring to. “I think it’s me.”
“Or both of us.”
“Is someone watching us now?” My mouth ran dry at the possibility.
Noah glanced to our left. “Doesn’t look like anybody’s there at the moment. But that could change at any time.”
Swallowing past the lump in my throat, I pulled together all my courage and released his hand before I reached behind me and unzipped my dress, thankful for the low back and easy access. Noah sucked in a tight breath and brushed my hair over my shoulder so he could help me out of my clothes.
“Perfect and smooth,” he murmured from behind me as he slipped one strap of my dress off my shoulder.
I shuddered with pure need when his lips brushed the space between my shoulders.
“Made for me.” His voice was the barest whisper, but it seemed loud in the quiet of the room.
In that moment, with nothing but the warmth of the flames and the heat of his hands resting on me, I knew it to be absolutely, one hundred percent true. “Yes,” I agreed.
