Desire, Fate, & Love

Chapter 7

"Rhys, kiss me." His eyes shot open as the words left my mouth and he searched my face to see if I meant it. He gulped suddenly and averted his gaze.

"You have to use my true name to command me." I smiled.

"It wasn't a command." Very slowly his gaze moved back to lock with mine. Almost as if he was afraid if he moved too fast it would break something. He reached out just as slowly and cupped my cheek in his hand. He reached up with his free hand and took my hand off his cheek.

"Lily. Tell me to stop right now or you might regret it." I saw the conflict in his eyes. He wanted to kiss me more than anything, but he also knew what my first kiss must mean to me if I saved it for this long. I smiled softly.

"Not possible." The words had barely left my mouth before he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. I shut my eyes as he lifted me into his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me in deeper. This had gone from a first kiss to something much more quickly. His teeth nipped at my bottom lip and he growled softly. I tried to break the kiss to ask what he wanted but he rolled us.

In a few seconds, I was on the bed with him above me. I expected to see his eyes black but they were those clear green emeralds. He leaned down and kissed along my jaw to my ear. He nipped my lobe lightly in his teeth and I felt a familiar warmth and he growled softly.

"I'm not doing that, Lily. Your body is offering me your desire. Follow my lead. I'll show you a whole new type of kissing." I nodded quickly to the words he whispered in my ear. I would gladly fall down the kissing rabbit hole with him. His lips on mine felt so nice. I never thought kissing could feel so nice. He kissed his way back up my jaw until his lips were against mine again. I felt as he softly parted his lips against mine and I followed his lead as he said.

As our lips moved against each other, his hands went to my hips, holding me in place. I wrapped my arms back around his neck, pulling him down against me more. My body was slowly being engulfed in fire all on its own. Suddenly, he reached up and grabbed my chin in his fingers. He urged my mouth open wider and I felt as his tongue brushed against mine. I gasped into his lips as he explored my mouth with his tongue. Suddenly, I couldn't keep still under him. My hips rocked back and forth on their own and I groaned into his kiss. That sound caused his whole body to stiffen. He growled in a new way and suddenly we were rolling. Now his back was against the bed and I was on top of him.

He reached up, placing a hand on the back of my head, holding me in the kiss, and I felt him rock his hips against mine. I felt a new heat now. One I had never felt before. It drew a new noise from me. One I had only heard a couple of times before. I was moaning. Rhys was making me moan. He really was a s*x demon.

"Lily." He gasped my name out briefly between our locked lips. It caused a shudder down my back and I moaned into his kiss again. He moved the hand from the back of my head to grasp my chin again. He pushed my head back away from him and all the motion of our bodies stopped. I was panting and even he was too but softly. He looked up at me with a sparkle in his emerald eyes. He licked his lips slowly and I flushed deep red.

"See? Terrible kisser." I said around another pant. I tried to laugh but his serious gaze stopped me. He pulled me back down for a very soft kiss. One you would expect of a married couple at the altar. Very sweet and far too brief.

"Do you realize how intoxicating you are?" He asked in wonder as he tucked some stray hair behind my ear. "You could seduce a monk with those moans alone." I felt my cheeks flush bright red and I tried to look away but he held my chin firm. "Uh uh. I don't want to lose my view of the sky."

"I didn't know I could make those sounds," I admitted as I stopped trying to turn my face away to hide the blush. He smirked and I felt him place his free hand on my hip.

"Your body sure knew exactly what it wanted."

"Don't tease me." I felt his hand slip onto my butt and squeeze lightly through my jeans.

"I'm not Lily. I would never. The only tease here is you. You are so perfect and I can't have you." His hand slipped from my chin and he ran his finger down my neck to the top of my shirt. Any lower and he would be in my cleavage. "You are teasing an incubus and have me wrapped around your little human finger." He looked back up to my eyes and then, in one swift motion, he rolled us over again. Now that my back was against the bed, he placed his hand directly next to my head. The other one he placed just under my shirt, drawing soft circles into the skin of my stomach. I felt the warmth in my belly again and he growled that new growl again.

"You ARE teasing me," I complained and he smirked wide. He leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on my temple.

"I can't help it. You are a buffet, Lily. Each small taste of your desire is my new favorite drug and I am quickly becoming an addict." He brought his lips to my neck and began kissing and nipping my skin lightly. I gasped softly as the heat in my body grew once more.

"Rhys," I whispered his name and he bit down a little harder on my neck. Getting an idea, I bit my lip briefly. "Ryzel." The sound of his true name from my lips made him growl what I was quickly learning was a s****l growl. It was deep and throaty and made my body vibrate when I heard it. His hand moved up and cupped my right breast through my bra. I gasped and moaned softly. He moved his lips to my ear.

"Again Lily. Say my name again." He swept his lips down to where my neck met my shoulder as he continued to lay kisses over every inch.

"Ryzel," I said his name just as a moan escaped me. Suddenly, I felt him bite down hard. I gasped out loudly but it wasn't that painful. Suddenly, he pulled back and then he was gone. I sat up slowly confused as he sat in his desk chair with his head in his hands.

"I'm sorry Lily. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-" He grit his teeth together hard. "f**k!" I reached up to the bite but there was barely an indent.

"What do you mean? It's fine. It didn't hurt." It did a little, but I didn't want to admit that when he was clearly upset about it. He lifted his head from his hands and I was met with his demon eyes. He grit his teeth together and grabbed my hand. He led me to the bathroom and I gasped. Where his teeth had dug into me was now a circle that looked like a tattoo. It had strange writing on it. Rhys sunk to the floor in shame.

"I'm so sorry. I lost my head." He looked up at me like a dog waiting to be scolded. "Hearing you say my name like that though, it was like nothing I had ever felt." I rubbed my finger over the mark lightly.

"What even is it?" He clenched his jaw and sighed harshly.

"It's a demon mark. I've marked you as my prey, my.... property." He buried his face in his hands again. "I'll figure out how to undo it. Just give me a couple of days."
