“I needed to live, Damien,” Ketalina said with a non-remorseful pout. “The body I had during your time alive was sick. Kele’s body was dying. I couldn’t keep it, so I needed you to die so I could get a new body.”
Laura gasped. “What?”
Davi nodded. “She met Damien after she’d transferred into Kele’s body. She sacrificed Damien, by having him kill off a man she said abused her. Once Damien was killed, she was able to take the other man’s wife’s body and continued living. By getting Damien to get rid of the husband, there wouldn’t be a husband to notice the change in his wife. Besides, Damien would have scented she was in the new woman’s body.” Davi turned to Laura. “When she got to your time, you figured out she wanted to kill you.”
Laura gave a sharp nod. “She wanted my wealth.”
Davi smiled. “You’re so smart, Laura. That’s why you’re my right hand. Yes, she wanted your wealth. She also wanted a new body.”
Ketalina glared at Laura. “You! You almost cost me my life. It was because of you, I got a second chance at life.”
“You didn’t die from the fall off the cliff,” Laura said annoyed that she’d been the one who ended up dead.
“Almost.” Ketalina gave an evil smirk. “But I called upon Riyanna. She stopped me from death with the promise that I give her my soul.”
Laura snorted. “Your ass was coming down here whether you made a deal with her or not.”
Davi laughed. “Very good, Laura. You’re absolutely right. She was meant to come down here before she made a deal with mother.” Davi glanced at her. “But it seems that when she offered mother her soul, she promised to serve her in the First.”
Shit. That was the worst level. Eternal torture and damnation. Good for her. She’d made Laura miserable enough. It took her a second to realize that her cousin had also lived as Damien’s wife. The wife he was so attached to.
“Before I send her off to mother’s care…” Davi grinned. “Anything you want to say, Laura?”
Laura glanced at the woman she’d known as her cousin. Pure evil filled Ketalina’s gaze. Laura smiled at the woman who had caused her death. She had a lot of anger inside, most of it due to her inability to let things go. It was then she realized she could start with Katherine or Ketalina. “Tell your mother to double chain her, so her evil ass doesn’t escape.”
“What about you, Wrath? Anything you want to say?”
Laura held her breath, watching multiple emotions play over Damien’s features. The lingering one was fury. “Yeah. Let me have five minutes alone with her in a room.”
Her heart sank. Could he possibly still care about her after what she’d done?
Davi shook her head. “Sorry. She’s going straight to the Pit.” She glanced back and forth between Damien and Laura. “I’ll return shortly. I want to make sure she gets there myself.”
“Damien,” Ketalina said in a soft voice. “You love me, don’t you?”
Damien’s eyes turned bright with the power of his animal. “I don’t know you,” he bit out. “But I’ll tell you something, be glad you were taken before I found out what you did to Laura or I’d have torn you up. Piece by piece.”
Laura gasped. He was angry over what Ketalina had done to her instead of worrying about how she’d caused his death? How she’d lied to him?
Davi sighed. “You say the most romantic things, Wrath. I’ll be right back.”
Laura glanced at Ketalina, watching the other woman continued to stare Damien down. Davi motioned her hands and she, the guards and Ketalina disappeared.
“Laura,” Damien said, closing the distance between them.
Damn. Now what? She couldn’t stay angry at him after what he’d said a few minutes back. Not to mention he looked so good she considered pushing him on the chaise in front of the fire and having her way with him. That was so improper. Not to mention Davi probably had cameras in there. They could end up on the next episode of Naked News. Ah, what the hell. Okay, so maybe for once she’d forget all about what was wrong and go for what she wanted to do.
She backed away toward the chaise, not saying anything to him, but watching him follow her.
“Please don’t run from me,” he pleaded. “I didn’t know how to explain to you how much you suddenly consumed my thoughts.”
Once he was close enough to grab, she curled her hands on his black T-shirt, yanking him toward her. “Shut up and kiss me.”
He blinked once, but didn’t waste time. He cupped her face and lowered his head to meet her lips in a blazing kiss.
She pushed him onto the chaise. He landed on his back. For a second she thought he might break it, but it seemed Davi had some sturdy furniture in the place. Good to know. Laura hadn’t taken the lead in sex. Ever. She wasn’t really sure what to do, but she did know one thing. She wanted him naked.
“Take the shirt off,” she ordered, her heart hammering hard in her chest.
He sat up, his eyes blazing gold and did as she asked. Okay, that was a good start. Dammit. She should have paid more attention when Davi had tried to give her lessons on how to be seductive. Right now all she could think of was to get on her knees and try some of the stuff she’d seen on the porn videos she’d watched.
“Now what?” he asked, his voice a soft rumble.
She peeled off her clothes, yanked the pins out of her hair and stood naked before him, hair tumbling down her back. The hunger in his eyes encouraged her to keep going.
Leaning over him, she tucked her hands into the waistband of his pants and pulled them down, freeing him. She hadn’t seen him this close the last time they’d been together. Kneeling between his open legs on the chaise, she lowered her body over his hips.
“Laura,” he grunted. “You don’t have to, baby.”
She glanced up from his cock and watched a vein throb on the side of his jaw. “I want to.”
He let a breath out in a rush. “Good, because I really want my dick in your mouth.”
She splayed her hands flat on either side of him and held herself up with them.
He decided to help by grasping his length and holding it up to her lips. “Suck me.”
She felt her pussy heat. He jerked his cock in front of her face. He slid his fingers into her hair, gripping a handful of the strands away from her face. She lowered, licking a circle around the head of his shaft.
“That’s it, sweetheart. Now take it down your throat and let me feel your hot mouth sucking me off.”
She was so going to have to buy a dirty talking manual soon. Like real fucking soon so she could shock him with her porn star quality sex talk.
Widening her lips, she took him into her mouth, using her saliva to allow him to glide down her throat. She did it slowly, having not done it too many times, she didn’t want to mess up with him.
He grunted, squeezing his grip on her hair and shoved her face into his cock. “That gagging noise sounds fucking sexy as hell,” he groaned.
She pulled back and then took him in further. Up and down she slid on his cock with her mouth. Her body felt tight with need. She glanced up, watching his abs tighten with each thrust into her mouth.
“Fuck! Oh, you got a hot little mouth,” he moaned. She flicked her tongue over his dick, going back and forth and hollowing her cheeks tighter. “Do that thing with your tongue again.”
She did, flicking her tongue as best as she could in the tight confines of her mouth. He tensed even more. “Get up here. I need in you.”
She released him, leaving a trail of saliva on his dick. “You didn’t let me finish.”
He helped her straddle him, holding his cock so she could slide down on him. Placing her hands flat on his chest, she pressed down, pushing him into her pussy.
It was a slow slide down, but once her ass met his pelvis, she groaned at the feeling of fullness.
He cupped her breasts, tweaking and tugging on her nipples, adding a new bit of pain to her pleasure. “Ride me.”
She lifted slightly and dropped back down. T
he sensation of hedonistic pleasure caught her by surprise. Had she known being on top felt this good, she’d have tried that a long time ago. Hell, she might have tried riding her own damn toys.
Another lift and drop and the pleasure expanded inside her. She wiggled to get better traction and moaned at the different sensation from the shift in movement. Holy shit she was never going to get off him again. Ever.
“That’s right. Now move faster,” he encouraged.
She rocked on him again, wiggling her hips in a wave, back and forth. She dug her nails into his chest, gasping. Her belly tightened. His tugging on her nipples made her pussy slicker.
“Oh...oh that feels good,” she gasped.
He let go of her breasts, grabbing handfuls of her large hips and helping her rock faster. And faster until she couldn’t do more than hang on and try to breathe.
She moaned, clawing at his chest from her coming loss of control. He gripped her hips harder, pulling her forward and pushing her back in a punishing rhythm.
“Damien...holy shit, that’s...wow,” she whimpered, hanging her head forward.
“Play with yourself, baby. Rub your finger over your clit and let me see you come.”
She was beyond worrying about doing something wrong. The need to break the tension winding inside her took over her thoughts. She spread her pussy lips open with a hand, rubbing two fingers over her hard clit. She moaned and continued to rub, loving the instant heat that gathered in her channel.
“Tap it with your finger. Hard,” he ordered.
She did. Her world stopped. The tension inside her snapped fast, unraveling at light speed. Stars exploded behind her lids and a loud moan rushed out of her lips. A wave of pleasure shook her to the core. It sunk through every pore. Through every vein until it consumed her.
He bit his fingers deep into her hips. She’d have bruises tomorrow, but who gave a fuck today? His hot, hard length continued to rub at her insides, scorching her ability to breathe. He grunted. Then he tensed under her, pressing her down hard so that her pussy ground on his pelvis. His cock thickened inside her, pulsing as he growled loud and came.
A shudder raced down his body. So hard and strong she felt it come through her too. She fell flat on his chest, gasping for air and trying to get her legs to stop shaking. He caressed a hand over her hair and another down her back.
They lay there for long, quiet minutes, waiting for their bodies to cool. A million and one thoughts ran through her mind. She hadn’t met a man she’d wanted while alive. None that had made her body burn the way Damien did. In her time in the Seventh, she hadn’t met any men who caught her attention, until him. Now all she wanted was more time with him.
“I’m sorry about what Katherine did to you,” she said, clearing her throat of the dryness she felt.
He cupped her face, lifting her up to meet his gaze. “She’s not important. You are. Only you.”
“That is going to make a great first episode of why people should use Hellmatch.com,” Davi said from the center of the room.
Laura glanced over her shoulder at her boss and sat up on Damien. “Some privacy, please?”
Davi folded her arms across her chest. “This is my office.”
Dammit. She was right. But Laura’s legs were shaking and she couldn’t figure out how to move without falling on her face.
“You two owe me lots of little minions or I will make your lives miserable,” Davi muttered. “And you,” she pointed at Damien with an evil grin, “better go dust off that gladiator outfit. I expect to see you in it tomorrow,” she said before doing her signature hand curl. They appeared on top of Laura’s bed, with Damien still deep inside her.
He lifted a hand and hooked it around her neck, pulling her down to mesh their lips together. There was a new softness in the kiss. A new tenderness to his touch. More than she could have thought possible. He pulled away from the kiss, meeting her gaze with his scorching aroused one.
“You’re mine, Laura. Not for the next few days or weeks, but for eternity.”
She grinned. “I like that idea. I’ve never really felt like this before. I can’t describe it. I just know I don’t want you away from me.”
A relaxed smile split his lips. “I know how you feel because I feel the same.”
Happiness expanded inside her, filling what she’d once felt was an empty heart with joy. “You’re sure you want to spend eternity with me? That’s a long time.”
He curled his lip in a sexy grin. “Hell is only tolerable because you’re here with me.”
“Davi’s right. You do say the most romantic things.”
EPILOGUE
Davi stared at her computer screen. How in the hell was she going to get another match soon? She had Laura handling the website, but she needed more candidates.
Souls were so picky. They asked for unrealistic things in a match. Like Davi really gave a shit that some liked jazz music and others preferred comedy.
It was her opinion that if she could get them to have sex on the first date, it might be easier to get them to agree to being matched together.
Screw what people wanted. She was in charge of the Seventh for a reason.
Oh, well. Some souls were about to get matched. Whether they liked it or not.
