PATREA.

I was already awake, but I kept myself from opening my eyes. I was lying on my side, facing in his direction. 1 knew he was probably staring at me, like he’d been doing these past two mornings, and also because his breath was fanning against my skin.

Last night with Lucius was the best night I’ve ever had. He fucked my pussy twice, and I knew he wanted more, but everything was still so new to me that I couldn’t keep up with him. And I was glad he never pushed or asked for more. Instead, he held me close to him the whole night.

If I didn’t know he was a demon, I would never think he was one. I didn’t have much experience with men, but I could say he was far better than all the men I encountered in my life, including Adora’s father, who was married but led me to believe he was not.

Lucius was just the perfect man, and even if I didn’t want to, he was slowly taking up space in my life, and it hadn’t even been a week since he came to stay with me.

And I knew that once this was over, I would miss him.

"Open your eyes. I know you are awake already." His deep voice came around me.

"I'm not,.." I murmured, biting my lower lip to prevent myself from smiling.

"Don’t you want to see a handsome face first thing in the morning.?

“Of course, I want to. But I don’t have anyone handsome around..."

I was not able to finish my words when my body was flipped over. I was now laying on my back, and Lucius was on top of me, hovering over my body. I couldn’t stop myself from opening my eyes as soft giggles escaped my throat.

"Should I be disappointed as you never appreciate how handsome I am? Does Bertil look handsome with his fake muscles?" Lucius asked as he flawlessly moved my arms above my head, pinning me against the bed while his nose nuzzled my neck. "Answer me..."

I shook my head and chuckled softly, but the heat was already rising from my stomach. "Stop... I’ll be late for work."

"Me too..." He hissed as he withdrew from my neck and pulled away from my body to sit beside me.

“What do you mean? Are you leaving for Kalmerus?" I asked as I sat up as well.
