Chapter 5

ANDRE

Dark Desires

“ANDRE, STOP! PLEASE!” Cool arms hug around my tail as Raven tries to stop me from impaling Zade. “Calm down. He’s been helping me. Lucian dropped me into a portal, and he answered my prayer. He only wanted to see you. He misses you.”

I roar, my deadly need to get my former brethren out of my kingdom and away from Raven’s soul all-consuming. Slamming the sharp point of my stinger into the ground, I rip up the road beneath Zade’s boots and send him sprawling backward. Raven dangles before me, swinging a few feet in the air.

I heave a few deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of her hands around my most powerful weapon. If she continues to mess with me, I might accidentally shoot venom from my retractable stinger. If that happens...I shiver in anticipation. All it would take is one prick to have a soul writhing on the ground in desperate lust, aching but never fully satisfied. Like me. At least, until now. I’ve been waiting what feels like forever for Raven to enter my kingdom in her physical form, because the lust I’ve been arousing in her during her sleep isn’t enough.

But she’s all I want. I will not accept anything less than her in all her delicious beauty. She is mine, and I’d rather starve and feel as if I live in torturous anticipation than find another relief. I just hope I’m not too much for her, because I know I’ll never get enough. I already want her so badly that I’m willing to release Zade, so he leaves and she stops worrying about the blasted bastard.

I can barely look at him. At his judgmental face. Surely he thinks of me as an abomination and a traitor, but I don’t regret my choice to save Raven.

“Andre,” Raven whispers. She releases my tail and drops down, stumbling back and falling on her butt. She doesn’t stay down long. Getting up, she raises her palms to me. “Andre, please. Just let him go. He was only helping me get to you, so you could open a portal to send me home.”

My body shudders as I gather my power and suppress my devilish nature. Striding forward, I gather Raven in my arms, pulling her up until she hooks her legs around me. The thought of her leaving so soon makes me ache everywhere but especially in my cock. My balls throb like I’ve been punched in them, and it takes her touching my cheeks to get me to focus on her instead of what she does to my body.

“You want to leave me already?” I murmur, groaning under my breath. “You just got here.”

“Of course I don’t want to leave you. I just—I need to get back to the Mortal Realm because Lucian gave Elias to Vincent. He is supposed to hide him until he dies. Kase and Dante—”

“If you let me go, I will find them and inform them for you,” Zade says, interrupting Raven’s pleas. “I want you to know that I’m not a threat, Andre.”

Raven’s heartbeat picks up speed, her mouth turning incredibly sexy with her pout. I imagine her lips parting for me to taste my body like she had done before. My muscles tense and flex, my desire eating away at my good senses. A sudden sweet fragrance permeates the air, wafting from Raven to me, and I lower her a few inches, letting her feel what she does to me. I realize the fragrance intoxicating me belongs to her, her body reacting to mine, and it gets more potent. I want to gulp in breath after breath. Just her lust helps settle the burning in my soul.

“Okay,” Raven says, her voice breathy. “You promise you’ll get them right away?”

Zade nods his head. “I do.”

Raven shudders a breath, her eyelids closing partially. She can sense my lust too. She craves me. Needs me. I can feel it in my carnal instincts. “Andre, please. If you let him go. I’ll stay until someone comes for me.”

“If you stay, I can’t promise not do with you as I please, Raven. You don’t understand what’s happening to me,” I mutter, locking my fingers through her hair and tilting her head to the side.

“But I do. You need me,” she whispers. “Your power comes from the sin you embody. Zade said so.”

I swallow and lick my lips, forcing myself to glance at Zade, but he’s already gone. Raven is now mine and mine alone in my kingdom. I’ve thought about this moment over and over since the second I claimed my throne and the energy that comes with it, zinging through every molecule on my body.

“I’ve been starving without you, little hellion,” I say, spinning on my feet. I’ve never been so excited to return to my empty palace, kept clear of anything that could test my restraint in ways I refuse to think about.

“You haven’t found...sustenance elsewhere?” Her voice remains soft like she’s afraid to ask or know the answer. “I understand if you did what you had to.”

I cock my head and look at her. Her beautiful eyes look toward the browning sky, the winds of lust separating the damned souls again, ensuring they’ll never get their fill for their wrong-doings—those who’ve done vile things in life fueled by their passion and desire. All here for eternal punishment. And I make it hurt.

“Are you suggesting that I could possibly find a cure for my unrelenting ache for you through one of these miserable souls? Or a bottom feeder demon? You’re it for me, little hellion. I would never betray you.” I search her eyes, wishing I could listen to her thoughts. “I’d rather go weak and suffer.”

Her frown softens as she thinks about what I say, and then she graces me with the most stunning smile that lights up her soul so brightly that it helps keep my urge to take her as my mate in the most intimate way in control.

“Thank-fucking-fuck,” she says, giggling in my arms.

She plants her palms to my cheeks and pulls me to her face, crashing her lips to mine in a kiss that quickens my pace. I will not give any of the damned the satisfaction of me getting my fill.

I chuckle against her soft lips. “I should punish you for even thinking for one second that me being with another could possibly be okay. Your soul is mine. My brethren didn’t even have to warn me about the rules of our eternity together if I chose a place by your side, which I have, Raven.”

She crinkles her nose, narrowing her eyes. “Fuck no, I didn’t think it was okay. I hated the thought. I wanted to cut a dick or bitch or whatever damn thing that could get you off. You think I’m yours, but you’re mine. That intimidating, rock-hard, enormous cock is mine. I licked it, so you know I’m serious.” She laughs with her words, her playfulness so endearing that I could let her take control of me however she wants. “I earned it. Corrupting you as an angel, and now I’m getting my reward by corrupting a devil too. Your virginity is mine.”

“You naughty little hellion, so boldly pointing out how ironic it is for me to take a seat on the throne of lust when I’ve never truly got to reap the benefits.” I ease her away from me until I surprise her by plopping her seductive ass on the black stone throne that I claimed as my own. “Since that’s the case, I must declare you as queen of my kingdom.” As much as I want to grab her knees and burn off her clothes to have my way with her, I don’t rush or push her. Micah warned me that I must proceed with caution and not overwhelm her. He had made the mistake of showing her more than she could handle, and it left a scar on her soul.
