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

Chapter 9 – Do You Trust Me?

PATREA.

“Do you think that if I promise to be gentle, you will let me kiss you?”

My eyes widened before my forehead creased. “Aren ’t we going too fast?”

“If six months is too fast, then yeah, I’m going too fast.” He spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion before he pressed his fingers to his closed eyes. “You’re upset.”

“I am. I’m a demon, Patrea. I don’t have the patience of a saint or even of a human.”

And yet he was trying to be patient with me. He was trying not to hiss or snap at me right now.

“I don’t even know how to kiss anymore. But don’t offer to do all the kissing for me, as that’s what I’ve been doing for decades — staying still while someone abuses my lips.” I chuckled even though the memory hurt. I was trying to lighten the mood because I didn’t want to upset him more. “The closest thing to a real kiss I have is the one I gave you on your cheek at the cave. That’s it.”

He snapped his eyes open and tilted his head down to look at me, his eyebrows hiking up. “How about we start with that?”

“A kiss on the cheeks? Are you serious?”

“Come here, sit!” He tapped the space beside him, and although I didn’t like being told what to do, I just found myself pushing my body up and sitting beside him.

I pulled my knees to my chest, with the blanket still covering my legs.

“Do you want me to kiss you on the cheek again?” I asked, a confused smile playing on my lips.

“Yeah, I will have to settle for a prude’s kiss.” He chuckled, his body jolting when he did like he was enjoying what he said. “But I have to kiss you back on the cheeks too. And I can take my time.”

“Like you can choose to stay kissing my cheek for hours? Lucius, you’re getting weirder by the minute.”

He laughed, like the evil laugh I heard from him before, but this time I wasn’t offended. “I meant to say I can kiss your cheek as much as I want to. But you’re free to tell me to stop if it gets too much.”

His eyes squinted before his tongue swiped over the edges of his upper teeth. “Just let me, or I will explode from sexual frustration.”

I chuckled softly, and I felt my face burning. “I’m not even sure why you’re doing all these. It’s too much of a hassle for you.”

“Like I told you, I want to fuck you.” He smiled and winked at me, and I felt my panties drop.

Was he using his allure this time? “
