BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 4 – Taste Her & Move On

LUCIUS.

“I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath.” I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be uncomfortable already.

I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having a landslide tonight.

“And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk.”

“I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk.”

“Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too relaxed for a king?”

“Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that you put to work on your behalf.”

“So you have hundreds of trusted men?”

“Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead because he trusted me.”

“And tell me why I should trust you after you said that?”

“First and foremost, because you are human, a witch. Not a demon. I don’t trust a demon, but I trust a shifter, a half-demon, and maybe I can add a witch to the mix. So I demand to be trusted back.” She rolled her eyes at me as she sat on the single sofa across the room but directly in front of me. It didn’t escape my notice how her mouth twitched before she let out a full smile. “Demanding…”

“And I’d been making you smile the whole night, it means you’re slowly trusting the demon in front of you.”

“You wish…”

“Come on, Patrea. Let me stay, and we can move on from this topic and focus on what to do next.”

“You’re impatient, aren’t you?”

I was about to answer her when an annoying voice reached my head. ‘Are you here? I can feel your aura.

“Stone connected with me. Give me a moment.” I told Patrea, and she nodded her head before she went to her bathroom.

‘In Patrea’s room.’ I answered him, leaning my back against the soft cushion and extending my legs in a relaxed position.

‘Aren’t you going too fast?’

‘Are you mocking me? This was too slow already.’ ‘I know. Just reminding you not to force her.’
