“I’m always up to something bad. You haven’t answered my question. What are you wearing? No, let me guess. You’re naked, and all those soft curves are exposed for my pleasure.”
“Your pleasure?”
“Of course.”
“Hmm. Okay, what else since you know so much about what I’m doing, Mr. Karey?”
He seemed to be pondering it. “You’re about to stroke yourself until you come, with thoughts of me in your mind. Am I warm?”
You’re boiling hot! She fanned herself. This time the water distinctly felt hotter. Deciding to play his game, she laid back and tickled her navel with the carved head of her dildo. “So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?”
“I’m going to open my pants, take my cock in hand and let you tell me what you’re doing. I’m going to listen when you climax to see if you really will call out my name.”
“Hey, that was if you made me come. I’m about to get myself off. You’re just a bystander or a listening pervert.”
“I’m perverted in the worst way.” His voice grew authoritative. “Put the dildo between your legs, Kai, and push it up that tight pussy of yours. Describe it.”
She liked to be in charge at all times, directing her man, demanding what she wanted and how she liked it, but right at that moment, she needed to obey him. She reached down between her thighs and spread her labia. Her womb clenched in anticipation. Threading her toy up her slick channel, she gasped then moaned.
“Describe it,” he commanded almost desperately.
“I opened my pussy and pushed my dildo in. Ah! It feels so good. I’m about to come already.”
“No, not yet. Play with your clit for me. Tug on it, baby.”
“Mm!” She arched her back, getting into it. Running her dildo deep and pulling it out was so good, especially with him listening, hearing his heavy breathing and his occasional grunts.
She imagined him working his cock, his strong fingers gliding over the leathery surface as he pumped it. Was he big? How hard was he? She longed to know, to replace this jelly toy with Donovan’s cock.
Chapter Four
He had instructed her not to come too soon, but he was fighting hard not release his seed. Her feminine murmurs as she pumped her dildo in her pussy was driving him to the edge. Closing his eyes, he brought up a picture of her in his mind, of the way she looked naked. Those high tipped breasts glistening with water droplets, her back arched and her soft pink lips parted in ecstasy.
He grunted and slowed the pace at which he stroked his cock. He’d heard the gentle slapping of the water in the background and guessed she was in the tub. Wondering how big it was, he put himself mentally in there with her, hovering over her, not entering her yet, but watching.
His goals were set, and his plan had been in place for months. Yet the moment he had set eyes on Kai Mendel, the lot of it was put on the back burner. First place had to be him fucking her brains out and pleasing himself in the process. This way might be better anyway. He could get her alone. Making her wild for him would ensure that happened real soon. The sexy, strong-willed Kai. Her rep had spread far and wide. She got whatever she wanted; damn all consequences.
“Now, baby, I’m pulling my dick out of you. Put your fingers up your passage. Are you good and wet?”
She gasped. “Yes.”
“Taste it.”
“What?”
“Taste your come, Kai.”
“I . . . It will be flavored with bubble bath.”
He bit back a laugh. Glancing down at his shaft, he noted the precome and pictured her lips wrapped around him. His cock twitched in his hand. Deep inside him, his muscles clenched, readying for release. He stilled his hand, resisting. Not yet.
“Then lift your hips above the water level and get a sample of that cream. I want a description of how it tastes!” He knew he was dominating her over the phone, and Kai was not used to it, but it turned him on handling a strong woman like her. The first time he took her, he would bend her over some piece of furniture and grind inside her until she screamed his name. “Well?”
He heard the water shifting, splashing he assumed onto the floor as she moved. “It’s . . .”
He held his breath, listened hard and began to pump his cock again. “Yes?”
“It’s thick and salty. I’m not sure I like it. It’s not like a man’s come.”
“You want to suck my cock, Kai?”
“Yes!”
“And do you want me to eat your pussy?”
“Oh, yes!”
“Stroke the dildo in and out of yourself while you bend over in the tub. Work it deep and fast. I want you to imagine me behind you, pounding you until you think you can’t take the raw pleasure any more.” He upped his own speed. His balls tightened. Bracing one bare foot on the frame of his bed, he positioned himself more comfortably. He was close. “Are you almost there, Kai?”
“Yes, oh, fuck. Donovan!” Her cries set him off. His come shot out strong and so good the strength left his body. He bucked with it, giving in and letting her sweet voice drive him until he was empty.
Someone spoke in a muffled voice in the background. “Are you okay, Kai? I heard you scream, dear.”
Kai shrieked, and the phone line went dead. Donovan laughed and clicked his phone closed as well. Unless he missed his guess, Kai’s mother had heard her and thought something was wrong. He wondered what excuse she would give.
At least he was half way there. Kai struck him as the kind of woman who would not be satisfied coming only once during a make out session. She would want the experience over and over until she couldn’t find the energy to continue. So would he for that matter. After some time, he would work his shaft up again, or have his partner do it, and be ready for several more rounds.
The shifting of his room’s atmosphere, the very air seeming to become electric, alerted him to his visitor. Seconds later, the being appeared before him, taking in his state of undress with a flick his gaze over Donovan’s body. “Well, were you successful? Did you rope her in?”
Donovan frowned, located his boxers and slipped into them with languid movements. “Ever consider knocking? Yes, for your information, I did rope her in. She’s had a small taste of what it can be like with me. I wasn’t there, but I suspect the beautiful Kai had a little more than an orgasm just now.”
If he had expected to embarrass his visitor with his open discussion of Kai’s climax, he was mistaken. The slow grin he was rewarded with shouldn’t have surprised him. “Good. Kai is in for a sharp awakening soon, one that has been a long time coming. The sooner you fuck her for real, the better. When will you see her?”
“Fuck you!” Donovan growled. “I will handle this at my pace and in my way.” He was only reasserting his position. He could not get to Kai fast enough. “I don’t need your interference, nor will I have you popping in whenever you want. I’ll let you know how it’s going when I’m ready.”
The man’s eyes narrowed. The hatred rolling off him was almost palpable. “You forget how powerful I am.”
“You forget I don’t care.”
They stared at each other a long time, Donovan refusing to give in. No one would intimidate him under any circumstances. Realizing Donovan would stare all night if need be, his partner retreated for the time being. “Fine. I will wait to hear from you. Don’t let me down.”
With his visitor’s exit the darkness faded from the room, and Donovan breathed a sigh of relief. Now for planning his next move.
Chapter Five
“So what do you plan to do about Donovan?” Mitzi asked Kai.
Kai shrugged. “I’m letting him stew a little.” She grinned. “He called me last night after I got home. Don’t look at me like that. I know, and I didn’t give him my phone number. That worries me. My number isn’t listed.”
Mitzi held up a blouse with feathery fluff around the collar. Kai didn’t know why the girl dragged her to the mall. Mitzi had no sense of style, and when Kai tried to
help, Mitzi ended up not buying a thing. She wore the same old bland black clothes, which managed to wash out her pale features. What Mitzi lacked in style, she made up for in spunk. “What does it matter? You can’t even get a call into your house if it’s from evil meaning you harm.”
Kai laughed and shook her head. “No, sweetie, that blouse would make your head look small. I know, but I can’t be too careful. Ove’s witch friend may have cast a protection spell around my mother’s house, but that doesn’t mean something out there isn’t more powerful.”
“Your father knows better than that, I’m sure.”
“Yeah well . . .”
“So what did you two talk about?” Mitzi’s yellow eyes were almost round. “Did you have phone sex?”
Kai grinned. “I’m not telling. Okay, yeah we did. It’s not really my thing, but I wanted to work him up, get him all hard and ready. Turns out he had me flying. And then my mother bangs on the bathroom door to find out why I was screaming.”
Mitzi’s face pinked. “That’s so wrong.”
“Yeah it was.” Kai burst out laughing. “Okay, you know me. I have zero respect for men. How can I help it with a father like Ove? But Donovan might be—and I do mean might be so don’t get excited—he might be a little more than expected. I’ll wait and see, and I’m not holding my breath on it.”
“So you’ll blame Ove for the rest of your life, never find true love. You’ll die an old maid with no children, no one to carry on your legacy.”
“Spare me. Die? And further more, I don’t want kids. I don’t want love. I want sex—wild hot sex.”
Something from the corner of Kai’s eye caught her attention. She turned to find Bevin fighting with some type of being. Its black skin was so dark, it almost glistened. A dark elf if she didn’t miss her guess. Glancing around the store they were in, she noted that the humans were all still occupied with their shopping. Two of them were chitchatting right next to the fight, oblivious of what was happening on another dimension, one Kai had always been able to see into being half demon. There her abilities were limited. She couldn’t be sure of anything when the person was fully in the physical realm, which made her depend on Mitzi and Bevin to spot immortals.
Mitzi spun around too and caught the fight. She rolled her eyes. “Guess we better go. Another idiot who wants to get to your father through you.” She crooked an arm through Kai’s. “How about ice cream?”
Kai didn’t take her eyes off her bodyguard. He had transformed to his natural body, crimson skin, glowing red eyes and a long pointed tail with matching horns. The elf cast a freeze spell on Bevin who shook the ice off like it was nothing. He blew fire at his opponent’s head, and the elf yelped in pain.
“We can’t leave poor Bevin.” She chuckled. “Besides, he—”
Mitzi jerked her sideways, and she fell on the floor. Kai was aware of someone asking if she was okay, but she was more interested in the other elf Mitzi faced. To attack Kai’s physical body, the attacker had to appear in the physical realm. Some of them didn’t care if they were seen, despite the fact that they were breaking immortal laws for doing so.
The second dark elf trying to get at Kai was visible, holding a sword which he had intended to plunge into Kai. Humans began screaming, running from the store. Mitzi, seeing no humans nearby shape-shifted into a lion and bared sharp teeth and claws to the enemy. Kai glanced around for something to fight with. If she didn’t help Mitzi, she would be killed. She had no power, which meant if the elf cast a spell, she was finished.
Kai searched the floor and checkout counter for a weapon and found a long pole in the corner with a hook on the end of it. She recognized the tool for grabbing clothes from high places along the walls. Brandishing it, she whirled to go after the elf who was already muttering words to cast a spell against Mitzi. His arms were bleeding, and Mitzi moved in for the kill.
With determination, Kai leaped forward to run him through, but the elf disappeared in a puff of black smoke. She glanced this way and that for him, but didn’t spot him. Mitzi screamed. “Kai look out!”
Something hot and sharp like a knife pierced Kai’s back. The pain was excruciating. She dropped the pole and sank to her knees, working her lips, but unable to speak.
Mitzi let out a roar and ran to disarm the elf behind Kai. Kai grabbed onto her friend with trembling fingers, darkness closing in around the edges of her sight.
“My . . . body,” Kai managed to say.
Kai noted the rage in Bevin’s eyes when he saw what had happened to her. He attacked the elf he was fighting with a vengeance, and soon it fell to the floor dead. A few seconds later, a green flame shot up where its body lay, and it was gone.
The second elf cast a freeze spell on Mitzi. Bevin rushed to go after him, but he was gone in a flash. Frustrated, Bevin blew out a breath of fire at Mitzi, and the ice around her small body shattered. She shrieked, kneeling at Kai’s side.
Kai tried to speak, but Mitzi shushed her. “No, don’t say anything. I know the drill, unfortunately. Take care of your body until you come back.”
Closing her eyes, Kai gave into death, as she’d done too many times before. She hadn’t planned on visiting her father this way, but at least she could ask him about Donovan. Somewhere in the darkness that surrounded her, her heartbeat slowed and then stopped.
* * * *
“Hello, Ove.” Kai stood in his office doorway, watching the man who had sired her, the man she told herself often enough that she hated. After he left her mother and her, she had cut him out of her heart, refusing to give into a desire to see him, but somehow she missed him.
Her father glanced up. The continuous scowl on his face deepened at the sight of her. Had she been expecting anything warmer, like holding his arms out in welcome? She rolled her eyes.
“Kai, what are you doing here?”
She knew she got her looks from him. His long black hair was as long as hers, and their dark eyes matched. The crescent moon shaped birthmark behind one knee was the only claim her mother had on her.
Kai drifted across the room and resisted the impulse to hug the evil beast. She moved out of reach of temptation and sat down. Or hovered. Visiting this underworld was not her favorite pastime, so she had not learned to fashion and hold a sort of solid body here.
Her father noticed the blood on her blouse, mimicking her physical appearance back in the human world. If possible, his dark mood dropped another few notches. “What the hell happened? I will kill that demon for not protecting you! Where is he, Kai? You can’t interfere with me sending him into the abyss this time.”
“I’m not, Ove. I just—”
“I said he will die! And don’t call me Ove. I’m your father, damn it. Call me Father or Dad, even Pop.”
Kai suppressed a laugh, but warmed in spite of his gruff manner. “Father, I’m here to discuss someone with you.”
“After I deal with Bevin.” The demon lord, who had gone red with flames shooting up from his fingertips, held out his hand. “Bevin!” Her bodyguard appeared with his neck between Ove’s thick fingers.
Bevin tried to bow but couldn’t free himself from Ove’s hold. “My lord. I can explain.”
“You can’t!” Ove continued to bellow. “My flesh and blood, my only vulnerability sits here having been murdered for the third time on your watch, and you think you can explain that to me?” Kai flinched. Whatever she had felt before was snatched back with the way Ove described her. His vulnerability. Not his daughter, not the most important person in his life.
Kai sighed. When would she learn not to let him get to her? “Ove—Father—I regenerate. It’s not a big deal. Painful, but not a big deal.”
“Don’t defend him, Kai! I expect my orders to be obeyed to the letter. Nothing less will be tolerated.” Of course, it was about his orders.
She surged to her feet. “Excuse me, Father, but we had a deal!” Resting her hands on her hips and hoping they didn’t pass through taking the steam out of her argument, sh
e glared at her evil parent. “The deal was if I allowed you to assign a demon to guard me, I got to choose who it was. I chose Bevin, and I have not changed my mind. Do you want to break our deal?”
He sneered. “It’s in my nature to—”
“Bull. You break it, and I’ll not register with you if I am killed again.”
Some of the heat went out of her father’s expression. If she checked in with any other demon lord in the underworld, it was tantamount to a slap in her father’s face and sending a message to one and all that she considered another demon lord more powerful and more deserving of her respect. “You wouldn’t do that.”
