“I did not sign up for that.” Or any of this, honestly.
OK. It’s your choice. I asked if you wanted me to show you, and this is what it entails. Do you wish to rescind your permission?
Yes. Maybe. Oh, shit. I don’t know! Do I want someone in my head so deeply he knows every thought I have?
It’s intimate. I realize. It’s why we don’t usually share the ins and outs of it with the witches who summon us. But if this is something you want, you must concede to this.
I find myself reaching for my arm for the first time in a while. Shocked at both how long it’s been since I’ve felt the need to do so and that this situation is so stressful to me, I immediately jam my hands in my pocket.
Why is this so difficult?
I’m not a prude.
My dildo collection is proof of that.
This seems different.
It is different. Entirely so, Lily. We aren’t simply sharing bodies and swapping fluid like rutting beasts, although there is something to be said for that. This is connection far greater than most humans ever experience and it is natural that you don’t wish to take it lightly.
I nod at myself in the mirror, catching bare glimpses of Mal’s horns along my forehead.
“Will I hear your thoughts too?”
Unfortunately, that’s not possible. Unless you were to possess me, that is.
I think on his words for a few moments and ask myself once more why I am so scared to let him in my head fully.
Would you like to know why I think that is?
I nod.
Even as you debate it, you haven’t asked me to lessen my connection. You do want me here, but I believe a small part of you is afraid I’ll know you better than you do.
We met at a strange time in your life, I think. A time when you’re still figuring out who you are. I understand that better than you think. But I hope you take solace knowing that you’re the only one I’ve allowed to see my true face. So, if this is what you want, Lily, then you must submit to it. Willingly.
Chapter23
Lily
My whole body hums with desire, even before I’ve utter the word “yes.”
I don’t need to say it. Mal reads it in my thoughts.
I grip the sides of the counter as a wave of pleasure washes over me.
And I don’t mean, nice, easy, buildup-to-something-more pleasure. I mean, I come, right there, standing in front of the mirror without a single bit of physical stimulation.
Yeah. I could get used to this.
I’m not sure how it happens, but I’m suddenly on the bed, sheets balled up in my fists as an invisible hand slides down my body.
How do you like to be touched, Lily?Mal whispers in my head.
I—I don’t know. I’ve never had sex that was all that great.
A devious laugh fills me and I fear I made a mistake admitting that.
No mistakes, Lily. I would have discovered that tidbit, eventually. And it means I get to try everything until we find exactly what makes you scream.
