“I knew it,” Lucien snapped, startling me. He placed his hands on the counter and dropped his chin to his chest as he panted. “I knew something happened in that car when I saw you jumping out of it.Fuck!”
I winced and covered my ears with my hands, shaking. “I felt so dirty,” I said, “but I’ve been struggling with myself because I raped two guys before you began feeding me. Guilt was eating away at me, and I secretly thought what happened was God’s way of punishing me for what I’d done.”
Daiman’s toothpick snapped in his mouth, and he spit it out. His teeth ground together, and his eyes narrowed as he watched me.
He hated me. That had to be why he was glaring at me. Daiman thought I was dirty and that I was awful for what I’d done to those two guys, one of them being my ex-boyfriend.
I swallowed hard, fighting back the tears. “I’m sorry.”
Daiman crossed the space and came to my side. He yanked me up by my arm and dragged me into his arms.
He was . . . he was hugging me.
Daiman tucked my head beneath his chin and rubbed my back, soothing me. I squeezed my eyes shut and wrapped my arms around him, holding him as tightly as possible. He grunted as I squeezed tighter, and I loosened my grip so I didn’t hurt him.
“Don’t ever apologize, Grace,” Daiman said. “What happened wasn’t your fault, and what you did wasn’t really you. Your demon was in control when it happened.”
I bit my quivering bottom lip. “But you weren’t there. You don’t know that.”
“I was. I watched the whole thing.”
“What?” I gasped and leaned my head back to look at Daiman.
He stared at me, his crimson eyes holding no judgment or anger directed at me. “I was there and watched your demon use them. It wasn’t your fault, angel.”
“But she still used my body!”
Daiman swept his hand down the back of my head in gentle strokes, like he was petting me. “What else happened?”
Okay, so he wasn’t going to argue about it.
I took a deep breath and glanced at Lucien, who raised his head and watched us with rage simmering in his eyes.
“The night dad beat me with the belt, he told me he wasn’t my real dad. My mom told me that she wasn’t having sex with him around the time she conceived me. She said something about how she dreamed about a man who formed a romantic relationship with her, and she got pregnant.”
Daiman sucked in a breath, and Lucien’s eyes widened.
“What?” I looked between them.
Lucien straightened his tie. “That explains why you’re a succubus. Your father is an incubus, and he impregnated a human woman. That’s how succubus demons are made.”
My jaw dropped, and I backed away from Daiman as I processed what Lucien said.
I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was stand there with my mouth open and eyes wide.
“Did anything else happen?” Lucien asked.
I shook my head, then remembered something. “My sister saw me change into my demon. She was egging me on and eating too loud, and I snapped. Since then, she said she would have an exorcism done on me. She even went to my parents, who didn’t believe her.”
“Anything else?” Lucien said softly.
I shook my head, meaning it this time.
Lucien closed his eyes and deeply inhaled through his nose. “Thank you, little sinner.”
“What are you guys going to do now?” I asked.
“We’re killing them all,” Daiman answered.
