Demon Tempted (Karmic Lust) (10 page)

Vestis cackled once more. “Come, come now, you may have need of me. I am corruption, remember?”

“Yes, I recall that it’s what you do best. I may have good use of you with this one. I want this to break them.”

“Oh, break them? Sign me up for that shit. Thinking about that gives me a fucking hard on.” Vestis cupped his cock and held it. Asmoday shook his head.

“Vestis, just saying your own name gives you a fucking hard on.”

“You got me there,” Vestis agreed. “Nevertheless, I want to be there if you have need of me.”

“I’ll think about it. Now get the fuck out of here. You’re messing with my fucking erection.” Asmoday scrutinized the couple in the bed.

Vestis chuckled and was about to turn down into the annals of the labyrinth but stopped short to state in a wicked voice, “You do know that I can help you with that, Asmo.”

“Trying to tempt the tempter?” Asmoday said sardonically.

“Fuck, yes. I’ve wanted you a long time.” Vestis gave a vicious shake of his head, practically drooling.

“You’d better understand one thing, Vee. I am the top. I don’t ever fucking bottom.” Vestis moved forward to stand next to Asmoday, and then knelt before him, his hands roaming up Asmoday’s naked thighs. Vestis licked his lips as he stared at Asmoday’s cock.

“Agreed, Asmo. Now fucking shut up and put your cock in my mouth.”

Asmoday tangled his fingers in Vestis’s hair, pulling at it hard. As Vestis opened his mouth, Asmoday gripped his cock and shoved it between his lips. He hissed in pleasure as the demon’s mouth wrapped about his cock and he sucked hard, drawing him in fully till his balls slapped against his chin.

“Oh fuck, Vee! Suck me hard, drain me.” Asmoday moved his hips faster and faster, making sure that each thrust pushed his cock down Vestis’s throat. Vestis eagerly licked, sucked and lapped at the cock being shoved unceremoniously down his throat, while squeezing Asmoday’s thighs. He didn’t care that he was shoving his cock down Vestis’s throat, and as it turned out neither did Vestis. He seemed eager for it. So Asmoday gave it to him and then some.

While he was getting sucked off, Asmoday continued to stare at the couple in the bed, his lust and anger growing with each thrust into the other demon.

“Ahh, what a perfect bottom bitch you make, Vee.” He tugged at Vee, continuing to wrap his hair tight in his hands.

Vee growled around the thick cock in his mouth. He dug into Asmoday’s flesh, his clawed fingers only making him grumble in pleasure. Unable to help it, he progressed to pounding into Vestis’s mouth then without warning, he flooded the other demon’s mouth with his cum. Through that glorious orgasm, he still continued to fuck Vestis’s mouth.

Asmoday watched as Vestis drank every bit of his cream, even going so far as to suck until he was completely drained and nothing was left. He groaned with pleasure as Vestis milked him dry.

Satisfied, he pulled his cock from the other demon’s mouth and then leaned down as if he were going to kiss him and said, “What a glorious cock sucker you are. Now be a good bitch and take your leave. I’m done with you, at least for now.”

Vestis whined, and Asmoday looked him dead in the face, baring his fangs. “Go before I lose patience.” Vestis scurried away with one last mien and then he was gone. Even the demons would learn he was in charge.

Eva was tired, extremely so. It seemed to be the running pattern as of late. The dreams seemed to be intensifying. She had hoped what had happened was just a fluke. But that hadn’t been the case. Every night she was having dreams. Lately they’d been of the erotic nature, making her wake up anxious, needy and worn out.

So far when Clay asked, she’d been able to blame it on being human again. Which if one thought about it really wasn’t that far from the truth anyways, being human made her fallible now. She was weaker now than she’d ever been as a demon. Part of her identified with the fact that she should be telling Clay what was going on, but the other part of her wanted to be able to take care of the issue on her own. She knew she was being plagued by a demon. She just didn’t know why.

It wouldn’t do to have two males upset. She’d had to tell Oz a few days ago that she couldn’t make it to their lunch, and that hadn’t gone too well. Disappointment had rung loud in clear in his voice. In the vein to keep him happy, she’d told him she’d set up another time to meet him. He of course said that he’d just call her in a few days.

“God, that man was serious when he said he doesn’t take no for an answer.” She’d thought she was alone in the storage area when Liliana spoke up.

“What man?” Lili peeked her head around the corner.

“Shit, sis, I didn’t know anyone else was in here. I was working on finding something for an order we have.”

“Yeah, I just happened to come in here a few minutes ago. You startled me as well. So who are you saying doesn’t take no for an answer? I thought you and Clay were doing okay?”

Since when did she confide anything in her sister since their fallout? Never, but it could be a good way to work on their relationship. Perhaps a way of letting Lili see that she could trust her to be honest and that she truly was changing. Sitting down in a chair she waited a moment to try to find the right words.

“No, it’s not Clay really. He and I are…” She hesitated. “Well, I don’t know what he and I are. The male in question is a guy I met at Diego’s while I was waiting for Clay. I find myself intrigued by him, but at the same time I want to run in the other direction.”

“Well, that’s most likely your subconscious telling you to do just that. Run in the other direction, Eva, and don’t mess with this guy. Besides, if you do mess with this other guy, it could mess up you and Clay.”

“But it’s just a friendly lunch. It can’t hurt anything. As for me and Clay? Not sure if there is a me and Clay, as I said, and a lunch with a friend shouldn’t be a problem even with him.”

Lili grabbed a box off the shelf and shrugged as she headed for the open doorway. “You could be right. Good luck.”

Eva stared after her and shook her head. That was a great conversation compared to what they’d had of late. She’d take it. For the first time in weeks, she felt like things could possibly turn around for her and Lili.

After exiting the storage room, she was about to head back out on to the floor when the office phone rang. She answered.

“Two Sisters, can I help you?”

“Ah, just the woman I wanted to talk to,” Oz said. Eva rolled her eyes at the ceiling. It seemed the man was all knowing and could tell when he was being talked about.

“Damn, man, are you psychic?”

He chuckled. “Why do you say that?”

“I was just thinking about you.” She shouldn’t have said that.

“Wonderful, then you won’t mind coming out with me in about an hour for lunch?”

He hadn’t ordered her so that alone gave him a brownie point.

“Sure. I promised you we’d go. Why don’t you meet me at Dennison’s Grill in an hour?”

“Sounds great, I’ll be there. Goodbye, beautiful.” She shouldn’t see him. This was a train wreck waiting to happen. But she couldn’t help herself.

Before she could reply Oz had hung up. She didn’t want to think about what Clay would say. She already guessed he’d be upset. He’d all but forbidden her to see Oz. It was a social lunch. What could it hurt? Plus, as she’d said to Lili, they weren’t a couple.

An hour later she sat across from Oz at the quaint bar and grill chatting over a spinach and chicken salad about anything and everything. Oz wasn’t so bad when you sat down and just talked to him. She didn’t understand why she’d been ready to write him off.

“See, I’m not such awful company,” he said.

“No, you’re not. Why does it always seem like you’re reading my mind?”

His mouth quirked in a grin, and he countered with another question. “Why do you say that?”

“Well, I was just thinking that you’re not such a horrible guy after all. And then what do you ask me? Basically the same thing I was thinking.”

“That was just a coincidence. What fun that could be to know another’s mind.”

She took a sip from her tea, setting the glass down and then picking her fork back up.

“I’d hope so. It would be a bit disconcerting if you could read my mind, let alone anyone else’s.” He took a big bite of his hamburger and chewed slowly. Eva couldn’t help but see the alpha within that male. She’d have to tread lightly with him. There was nothing wrong with having a good time. She’d been working hard at the store, so a little downtime was warranted, and she sure as hell was going to take it.

“So since I don’t read minds, you want to tell me what you’re thinking?” He leaned forward and batted his lashes at her. She laughed.

“I was just thinking I’m having such a great time.”

“Well then, you wouldn’t mind doing this again, would you?”

He gave a whooping sound, causing all the other patrons and staff to turn and look over at them.

“Shhh, Oz. There isn’t cause for all that.”

“But of course there is. A beautiful woman such as yourself has admitted to wanting to spend more time with me.”

“I’m sure you’ve tempted plenty of women.”

“I’ve had my fair share.” He shrugged his broad shoulders.

“Now I still believe that you’re being modest. But that’s okay. I don’t need to hear about all your conquests.”

“So they’re conquests now? You make me sound like a playboy of the worse order.”

“Naw, Oz, just a man who likes women and plenty of them.”

“I guess I can’t dispute that. Now enough of that. How about we finish having this wonderful lunch, and then I’ll get you back to the store?”

“Thank you. I really needed this. I was feeling so drained. But being here right now, I feel better than I have in a while.” She started eating again.

“Well that’s a good thing then.”

It was the truth. For some reason when she’d met up with him at the restaurant she’d instantly felt perky and not at all like dragging about. It was odd, but she wasn’t about to complain about that small blessing.

****

Clay stood outside of Dennison’s, barely controlling the anger that had built in him as soon as he called the store and been told that Eva had gone to lunch with Oz. Didn’t she realize that she was his and he’d made it perfectly clear that he didn’t want her to go out with Oz again?

He was about to storm into the restaurant but was tugged back by Samael who’d come with him. Samael had been with him when he’d talked to Lili to see about taking Eva to lunch.

“Let go, Samael.”

“No, bro. What are you going to do?”

“I’m just going to talk to them.”

“Not with that mood that I can feel you’re in. You don’t want to talk; you want to kick some ass, am I right?”

“Samael, she’s in there with that fucking ass. I need to get her away from him.”

“Clay, listen to how you sound. I’m telling you, man, if you go in the half-cocked, all it’s going to do is piss her off and push her away even more.”

Clay shrugged out of Samael’s grip, though he didn’t go into the restaurant like he wanted to. He rubbed his hand over his head and stood there watching through the window as Eva laughed with Oz.

“I want to fucking bash his face in.”

“He keeps this up you may get the chance. But until then, bro, you need to back off this. You’re to watch her and guide her, but you’re not her custodian, as far as this goes.”

“I see her making a mistake. I have to stop her.”

“You sure you’re not guided by lust?”

“Fuck yes, this is lust. On the other hand, there’s something in my gut that says this man isn’t who he seems to be.”

Samael moved closer to the glass and looked at the laughing couple at the table as well. He cocked his head to the side then turned to face Clay.

“Then we will watch him close. Dog his steps and see what we find out. We can always get Sal and Remie on his scent.”

Clay dipped his head in agreement. “Ah yes, Salathiel is a good choice. He helped me and Eva before when we needed to escape from the garden. Remie is always a great choice as he’s been hanging around a bit more. He’s already said he’s willing to help with anything we need.”

“That’s why I thought of him. We can contact him at the usual spot.” The usual spot was the hill overlooking the city. It was a haunt that had become a refuge at times when Clay needed to get away and think about how things were going. Talking it out with Samael had calmed him down.

“Thank you, bro. Let’s get out of here before they come out,” Clay said, with one last glance at Eva.

“Anytime, now let’s go to Diego’s. Drinks are on me.”

“That’s going to be a lot of drinks, my friend.” They headed toward the parking lot and the waiting C&C work truck they’d come in. Samael clasped him on the back.

“We’ll have the boys meet us there and find a solution to getting rid of Eva’s new suitor.”

“Sounds like a great idea, man. ‘Cause if we don’t get rid of his ass soon, I think I’m going to lose it.” Clay peered over the roof of the vehicle at Samael.
