He wasn’t in the car, right?

I looked into the rearview mirror and let out a relieved breath.

Duncan was close to passing out, and a kernel of embarrassment settled in my stomach. I didn’t think I would have been able to stand Vassago seeing the man I’d been committed to slumped in his seat after pawing at me.

Why would it matter? Nothing could happen between me and a literal Hell monster. Whatever Vassago’s intentions were, they were not to fulfill every fantasy I had about him fucking me senseless in every corner of the library. Or in every room of my house.

My skin heated again at the scenario playing in my mind. Vassago’s hands forcing my legs apart as I drove, his fingers plunging inside of me, all the while telling me which way to turn. I could almost hear him say, “Only two more turns, then you can come all over my fingers.”

A loud blare of a horn snapped me back to reality, and I straightened the wheels back into my own lane.

Duncan shook awake. “What happened?” He looked around, more sober than moments before.

“There was an animal in the road,” I lied and pulled at the hem of my dress, noticing how damp my inner thighs were.

Duncan slumped over the center console and gripped my knee. “You’re burning up, baby.”

I turned the air conditioner on full blast. The fever of my own making wasn’t going to be the reason I crashed my car.

“One more turn,” I said mostly to myself.

I needed to get out of the car and into an ice-cold shower.

If just the idea of Vassago’s hands on my body had turned me into a molten puddle, what would happen if I actually let him have his way with me?

The nose of the vehicle lit the driveway of our townhouse, and as soon as I cut off the engine, I was popping out of the driver’s seat and heading to unlock the front door. I thought I would have to haul Duncan into the house, but to my surprise, he was right behind me, his acidic breath at my neck.

“I can’t wait to get you naked, baby. Give you the time of your life.”

“Doubtful,” I said, probably too loud.

Once inside, I made my way to the bathroom with Duncan on my heels. “You’re so eager for me.”

“I need to shower. Wait for me in our room.” I tried to shut the door, but he’d already wedged himself inside.

“Have to pee.”

I rolled my eyes and turned on the shower while he used the toilet. My skin was on fire, and if I didn’t cool down soon, I was going to explode.

The ailment was in my head, but so was Vassago. Wasn’t he?

I stripped off my dress and my shoes as fast as I could without giving Duncan the satisfaction of seeing me bare, then I stepped into the water and sucked in a haggard breath. The freezing spray hit my face and brought the sting of makeup and sweat to my eyes, but it dulled the ache between my legs.

Lathering my loofa and lost in thought, I washed the smell of the bar off my skin and the stain of hands from my body. Vassago and Duncan had touched me, and one of them was causing me to overheat.

“Someone’s at the door,” Duncan called from somewhere in the house.

My stomach sank.

I knew who it was. I could feel it in my bones. Had I thought about him too much? Did I somehow internally call out to him with all the depraved urges my body craved?

Chapter8

Vassago

Iwatched them enter the house.

Celeste had a new irritation and—selfishly—I knew it was because of me. It didn’t take much of my influence to fluster my darling gift. A sleight of my invisible hand from the backseat of her car and her body reacted like I knew it would.
