Summoning Darkness (6 page)

“You’ll be a good girl, won’t you?” he asked, the taunting lilt in his voice only increasing her arousal. “You’ll bring Luke to orgasm, and you’ll let him do the same.”

“And what about you?” she found herself asking before she could think better of it. “Who’ll get you off?”

His laugh was darker than the amused chuckles she’d heard before. Resting the heel of his palm against the thatch of hair between her legs, he slid his middle finger through her folds. She almost cried out at the unexpected sensation.

“You let me worry about that.” From where he stood, she could feel his erection pressing into the small of her back. Thick and long, it prodded her spine, leaving a slick bead of moisture to slide over her skin. Gritting her teeth, Heidi tried to bring up an image of Luke’s face. Damn, she wished she could see him. That would make it so much easier to concentrate on something other than the way Varin made her feel. In the eighteen months she’d been tracking down demons and getting up close and personal with them, she’d never responded this way to one. Sure, there were times her arousal was genuine, when her body responded to stimulation of its own accord, but she’d always managed to keep a firm handle on her libido. It never interfered with a well-formulated attack plan, and it never got in the way of the ultimate goal of sending a demon back to the Underworld.

And it wouldn’t this time, she told herself firmly. If she enjoyed Varin’s hands on her body, that would only help with the gathering storm of magical energy. But she wouldn’t lose control, and no matter what happened, she wouldn’t lose Luke.

“You. Stand in front of her. Now.”

Heidi thought she’d have to once again reassure Luke that it was okay, but to her surprise, he obeyed instantly. He placed both hands on her shoulders, his touch gentle and reassuring.

I’ve thought of nothing but you
.

That’s what he’d whispered when he’d leaned down over her mouth a few minutes earlier. Tears had flooded her eyes and she’d pressed her lips to his before he could say any more. There would be plenty of time for heartfelt confessions once they sent Varin back where he belonged. Until then, Heidi needed to keep her wits about her and focus on the task at hand.

Varin slipped his fingers from her velvety folds. Though she knew she should have been relieved, her body trembled as he moved away. There was something about him she couldn’t put her finger on. He was a demon, yes, but one unlike any other she’d ever come across. One moment he seemed genuinely amused, confident, almost tender, and the next he could be gruff and unyielding like a piece of lava rock she could slam against for eternity without effect.

“Suck him, Heidi. Take him in your mouth. Show the man what he’s been missing.”

She lifted her head slightly. Luke touched the tip of his cock to her lips and she opened for him almost instinctively. She’d never tasted him before and after his time in Hell, she had no idea what to expect. She started out slowly, savoring the flavor of his skin, slightly salty but not unpleasant.

Her fingers itched for the taut muscles of his buttocks. Unable to reach out, she clenched her palms into fists behind her back. Luke released a low growl of pleasure. Encouraged, Heidi ran her tongue appreciatively along the ridge of his cock. She wished she could see him and truly delight in the shape and size of his shaft. Sliding her lips up and down the solid length, she licked it thoroughly before taking it into her mouth in its entirety. Luke continued to groan, each sound making pleasure tighten low in her stomach and pulse into her groin. Sexual hunger vibrated all around her and the magical energy in the air began to hum. She’d been trained to listen for it, but now that she knew its sound she could easily identify the essence of the gathering magic. It was working. Even now, she could use the power that had amassed to tear off her blindfold and her restraints, but she didn’t dare. She’d need all the magical energy she could get her hands on to open the portal. Luke’s cock thickened to impossible hardness. Heidi let it slip from between her lips, then she lowered her head and licked down the length of his shaft to taste the soft texture of his sac.

Luke sucked in a sharp breath when she opened her mouth and took one of his testicles inside. She slid her tongue around it even as she cradled it in her mouth, then released it and moved to the next, repeating the act.

“You’re pretty good at this sort of thing.”

If she didn’t know better, she’d have thought that was agony she heard in Varin’s voice. Unrestrained, raw agony. She could easily have chalked it up to him being sexually frustrated while simply watching her perform, but she had a feeling there was more to it.

If she could find out what demons haunted a demon, she might be able to use that to her advantage.

“In fact,” Varin continued, “I’d say you’ve done this a time or two.”

Heidi’s cheeks flushed hotly. She hesitated, wondering how much to reveal, then deliberately chose not to respond. Divulging all she knew about demons and sexual magic could potentially give him the upper hand. Better to have him wondering as to the true extent of her powers than simply to offer that kind of information for the asking. Besides, it didn’t matter what he thought of her. The only thing that mattered was how Luke felt, and even if he believed Varin’s taunts, she could explain later. Ignoring Varin, she trailed her mouth over Luke’s cock and sucked deeply on the head of his rod.

When Varin’s fingers dipped in the crevice between her ass cheeks, Luke’s cock almost slipped out of her mouth.

What was he doing? He had to know giving in to the needs of his body would make him just as vulnerable as it would make her. And yet he continued, slipping his fingertips lower to touch her pussy and glide some of her cream over his skin.

Seconds later, he returned his attention to her ass and circled the rosette of her anus. “You’re not protesting. You’ve done this before a time or two as well, I’m guessing.”

Heidi wanted to deny it, but he pressed against her puckered hole and suddenly, she lost her train of thought in favor of the sensations coursing through her. She moaned around a mouthful of cock and sucked Luke’s rod deeper into her mouth while pressing back onto Varin’s finger. Varin chuckled, his warm breath tickling the skin at the nape of her neck.

“More? Far be it for me to deny your needs.”

Bastard
. He knew what she really needed was to stay as far away from the temptation of an orgasm as she could, yet he teased her mercilessly, dipping in and out of her ass with slick, regular strokes. He moved his other hand around her and plunged within her folds. Her body writhed in instant reaction. Varin laughed, deep and low, obviously pleased with her response.

Heidi didn’t care. Let him think whatever he wanted of her and her body’s responses. In the meantime, the magical energy accumulating over the altar continued to deepen. It still wasn’t nearly enough to open a portal, but it didn’t matter. She felt Luke’s cock pulse and seep another drop of pre-cum onto her tongue. It was only a matter of time until he exploded, his orgasm filling the well of magical energy even more. Heat built within her as Varin thrust two fingers inside her tight pussy. Her every hole filled, Heidi’s muscles tensed, then quaked with barely controlled arousal. She needed to stay alert, to fight the sensations coursing through her. And she did; she struggled to distance herself from every thrust of Varin’s fingers inside her body and concentrate on Luke and his pleasure.

Then, just when she’d thought it couldn’t get any harder to fight the pull of climax, Varin tapped her clit gently with his thumb. She screamed, but gagged on Luke’s shaft as he chose that moment to shove his rod farther down her throat and release his seed. The force of the sudden sensations assailing her from all sides was just too much to bear. And just like that, her fight was over.

Heidi came, hard and fast, the orgasm rippling inside her sex and blossoming outward to travel through every nerve in her body. She sucked Luke’s cock harder while she climaxed, swallowing every drop of his seed. Her orgasm seemed to last forever, and it no longer mattered what Varin did with her magical energy, though somewhere in the back of her mind, she heard him chant.

Panting, she leaned her forehead against Luke’s stomach. His flat abs rippled with the force of his breathing and his softening cock pressed against her chest. The black thatch of curls at the apex of his thighs was matted with her saliva.

It took Heidi a full moment to comprehend she could see. Shock careened through her, and she reached out to steady herself by gripping Luke’s hips.

Her wrists and ankles were free. That realization was just as startling, and she cast a sharp glance behind her, half expecting Varin to have dematerialized.

Instead, she found him standing behind her, his arms crossed over his chest. The head of his shaft had turned an agonized deep red color and a drop of pre-cum leaked from its tip.

“I thought you’d want to touch him.” Varin cleared his throat. “Luke, I mean. Before I take him from you. I thought you’d want to make love to him as though…” His words drifted off and he grimaced like the admission pained him. “As though it meant something.”

Heidi’s deep blue eyes mirrored the candlelight. Since she’d drawn him through the portal, Varin had marveled repeatedly at the way they changed color, darkening or lightening with her mood. She watched him, brows drawn downward, her mouth set in a firm line, and he’d have had no clue what she was thinking if not for those eyes. At the moment, they were the most magnificent turquoise. The unique pigment made him think of the ocean; at least, what he thought the ocean would look like. He’d never seen it for himself, but he’d heard stories of its stunning hue. Somehow, he had a feeling Heidi’s eyes would surpass the beauty of any natural wonder found above or below ground.

“Making love to Luke means everything,” Heidi murmured. She clamped one hand around Luke’s and shifted on the altar so she faced Varin. With her other hand, she rubbed her wrist almost distractedly, but those gorgeous eyes remained glued to his. “You wasted your chance.”

Varin shrugged and looked away from her inquisitive gaze. “Not really. There wasn’t enough energy to open the portal. I need more.”

She nodded slowly, but he knew she didn’t believe him. Varin squeezed his fist over his cock. A jolt of pure pleasure mixed with unmistakable agony surged through him. He was losing control. His determination and perseverance had been wavering at an alarming rate, but if he chose to, he could still put an end to this.

“Do it,” he commanded, his voice hoarse. “Let him fuck you. Hell, pretend it’s your last day on Earth.” He didn’t bother to conceal the sarcasm that dripped from his tone.

Luke dragged his index finger beneath Heidi’s chin, lifting her face up so she stared at him instead of Varin. “He will take me back. And if not him, someone else will come for me. I made a deal with a demon, and I haven’t carried out the full extent of my sentence.”

Heidi shook her head. “That’s not true. I won’t let them.”

Luke pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Humor me. Let me pack a lifetime of memories in a few minutes.” He grinned sadly. “I did it before. Let me do it again.”

Heidi’s gaze darted back to Varin, her eyes darkening with passion and anger.

“It’s not fair, is it, Heidi? How destiny can offer you something with one hand and take it away with the other?” He fought to keep his features stony and uninterested as he spoke, but a twinge of sadness settled low in his belly.

Heidi didn’t reply. Instead, she lay on her back, her legs spread open in invitation, her arms snaking around Luke’s neck as she pulled him down on top of her. “This is what you want?”

“Yes,” Varin and Luke answered at once.

Too late Varin realized she hadn’t been speaking to him. It didn’t matter. The sheer depth of emotion he saw etched on Luke and Heidi’s features as they looked at each other was enough to make him lose what little common sense he had left.

Luke settled the lean length of his body between Heidi’s legs. She arched her back and drew her fingers down over her stomach to part her folds. The tip of Luke’s rapidly hardening cock nudged her core, but instead of delving within her soaked slit, he teased her with it, flicking the mushroom head over her clit before sliding it down through her folds. Varin gritted his teeth as he pictured Heidi spreading herself open for him instead. He’d touched her intimately, but he needed more. He had to know what she felt like when her breasts were pressed up against his chest, when her mouth was fused to his, when she screamed his name as she came.

He trembled and stroked his cock harder, gripping the shaft roughly in his closed palm, moving over his flesh faster and faster. For the first time in centuries, he experienced the rush of adrenaline that came from allowing himself to
feel
.

He’d spent so long closing himself off from everything and everyone while he’d been condemned to drift through eternity in that rotten, dank cell beneath the Earth that he’d almost forgotten what it meant to truly feel. Good things, bad things --it didn’t matter. Emotions tore through him with enormous fury and he pumped his cock harder, punishing himself for the myriad decisions that had gotten him here. Falling for Lillian. Clinging to Luke when Heidi pulled him through. Letting Heidi get to him and mess up his only chance at redemption in the eyes of his Prince.

He bared his teeth while he thrust his cock roughly against his palm, waiting for the onslaught of release. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that when it came, it would only provide temporary relief. Now that Heidi had reminded him of everything he’d been denied, he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to bottle up his emotions again.

“Wait.”

Heidi’s voice tore through his thoughts. He stopped on the brink of orgasm. A muscle jumped in his jaw. His heart pulsed with a frantic rhythm, and he could hear the
whoosh
of his blood in his ears. Luke still hovered on top of her. He hadn’t thrust inside her pussy, almost as though he’d waited for her consent before proceeding. His cock looked enormous nestled between Heidi’s folds, almost too big for her to take, but Varin knew she’d welcome him inside her while her body adjusted to the intrusion.
