Immortals After Dark 06 - Dark Desires After Dusk

her claws were curled, and she couldn’t seem to get enough air.
    Her scrambled brain was screaming Turn away! Turn away now! Just when she forced herself to close her eyes, the demon said, “Ah-ah, Holly.”
    She quickly faced him, and frowned. Cadeon hadn’t been watching the movie.
    His gaze was rapt on her.
    “You’re not even looking at it!”
    “I’m a male—I’m going to watch whatever turns me on the most….” As they stared at each other, moans, groans, and then finally yells sounded as the couple finished.
    Once the scene had ended at last, Holly was wondering how she would ever be the same, but she refused to let him know how this had affected her.
    “Well, that certainly was enlightening.” Feigning a yawn, she stood, heading for her room.
    “You sure you don’t want to stay? Buxom Babes: Volume Eight is on after this.”
    “I’m going to have to pass.” She closed and locked her door behind her, knowing that wouldn’t keep him out if he wanted in.
    And right now, if the demon wanted in, would she truly want to keep him out?
    She flattened herself against the wall, digging her curling claws into the wallpaper.

    H olly shot up in bed with a cry, clutching shredded sheets to her chest. She gazed around the room in confusion, surprised to discover what she’d just experienced was a dream.
    The most erotic one she’d ever had. And yet it hadn’t sent her over the edge.
    She’d dreamed that the sword fight had ended with Cadeon tossing her to the bed and stripping off her clothes, then his own. Like the man in the film, he’d guided his erection between her legs, then held himself above her on straightened arms with his muscles bulging.
    Once he’d entered her, he’d worked his hips, slow at first, but gradually building speed and power, until he was plunging inside her like a piston. She’d grown closer and closer under the onslaught of his teeth-clattering thrusts….
    Then she’d awakened.
    Need to go swimming. Must find a pool. But she was in the north, in winter!
    Here she was in this vulnerable state, and a pornophile demon lay in wait in the next room. She clambered to her feet, snatching up the ruined sheets to stuff them under the bed with the rest of the items she’d destroyed.
    After making up the coverlet, she hurried to the bathroom to take a freezing shower. Yet even after she was dressed, she was still shaking, her hand tremulous as she tried to brush her hair. She repeatedly attempted to effect her perfect chignon. And failed.
    She couldn’t control her hair, her body, or her thoughts.
    And the lightning firing outside seemed to mock her efforts.

    Cade had woken, thrusting against the sheets, hard as rock for her.
    The halfling’s going to be the death of me….
    With a groan, he rose, staggering to the bathroom for a steaming shower. Under the water, he recalled her reactions last night as she’d observed people having sex for the first time.
    As her eyes had gradually grown wider, her breaths had shallowed, making her breasts rise and fall until his hands itched to knead them.
    Leaning his head to rest on his forearm against the tile, he gripped himself and began to stroke.
    Her nipples had jutted so temptingly beneath her sweater, begging for him to suck—
    A clap of thunder boomed outside. He shot upright when the lights surged on and off. His skin pricked, as if from electrical energy. Holly…
    Dashing from the shower, he shook out his hair as he hauled on jeans. He stumbled toward the door between their rooms, barely able to fasten his fly over his shaft. After breaking the lock and entering, he found her dressed, sitting on the side of the made-up bed.
    She seemed dazed, staring at nothing. Had she had one of those dreams? Where she woke up coming?
    From her shaky breaths, it seemed his female hadn’t got all the way there….
    He stifled a groan. She was in discomfort, aching for what he would easily kill to give her.
    He moved in front of her and helped her to her feet. “You’re trembling.” He grazed the backs of his fingers over her cheekbone. Her breaths quickened from just that touch. “Ah, pet, you’re about to go off just standing here.”
    She shook her head hard, eyes wide and flickering from violet to silver. Her tongue rubbed over one of her tiny fangs.
    “Lie to me, but don’t lie to yourself.”
    “This is why I need my pills, Cadeon!”
    “That’s not what you need.” His instinctive drive was to use his body to pleasure
