Page 24 of Craving Demons

“Yes?” I said, not meaning to sound like I was uncertain about my own name.

“I’m Zagreus, you can call me Grey, everyone does.” He motioned to one of the chairs in front of his desk. “Please sit.”

And sit I did. I felt like I was a dog and he was my master. I had to comply. I wanted to. I wanted to please him even as a part of me grated and resisted, furious at being dominated like this. It was only then that I recalled what Harmonia had said earlier. Everyone here was a demon. And, faced with Grey’s unyielding power, I could believe it.

Well fuck!

What had I gotten myself into this time?

ANAIS

Grey satin the comfy-looking chair behind his desk and looked at me with those dark eyes for a drawn-out moment, tugging on my soul. Then he looked over my shoulder to Harmonia.

“You’ve suppressed her?”

“Yes.”

Suppressed? I didn’t particularly like the sound of that.

Then he looked over my other shoulder to Ramsey. “This is the woman?”

“Oh yeah, that’s her.” His voice wasn’t as deep as Grey’s but rougher, harder and it sent a thrill through me.

No! No thrills! You’re off men! And Ramsey was a jerk for calling you a demon even if it was true.Despite my best efforts to clamp down on my lust, my body still reacted to him in a visceral way. What was it about these men?

Oh right… demons.

I didn’t know why, but just being in the room with these two men was making me believe in demons — sorrydaemons— more than all of Harmonia’s assertions. Although after a moment of thinking, I did know why. It was because of the raw power rolling off both of them.

Grey’s gaze returned to Harmonia. “Let her go, I want to feel how wild she is.”

He wants to feel how wild I am?A part of me wanted to show him just howwildI could be. I’d go over there, straddle that fancy chair of his and let loose. I’d—

Stop it! You’re off men, remember?I reminded myself.

But maybe just this one?I tried to bargain with myself. Grey was fucking hot and so very powerful. Could a girl be blamed for breaking a vow or two with him? And then there was Ramsey.Or maybe just one time with both of them?

My mind seemed to think that would be acceptable. I didn’t wanta manin my life, but two men for just an hour or two? That couldn’t hurt, right? And the thought of Grey pressing close to me in front and Ramsey moving against me from behind got my lower lips so lubed up I was suddenly trying to remember if I had a spare thong in my purse because I was going to need it.

Then Harmonia came up behind me and waved her hands around my head again and—

Heat — stifling sexual energy — erupted into the room.

Grey let out a long low grunt. “Hades!” he breathed. “That’s—”

“Didn’t I tell you?” This from Ramsey behind me, and his voice sounded a little strained as well. “Makes you want to tear off her dress and do her up against one of those windows.”

Nowthatwas an image. I’d have my legs wrapped around Grey as he easily lifted me, pressing me to the cold glass as he thrusted up into me with grunting need. Then Grey was replaced by Ramsey, but since I didn’t want to look at him — remembering he was a jerk — he had me turned around, my face and breasts pressed to the glass with a stunning view of the park as he pounded me from behind.

I was so very glad my dress didn’t have much of a front or back. It allowed any possible air in the room to cool me a little, because for a moment, I thought I could feel Grey’s and Ramsey’s arousal, and it was potent.

I’d gone from having two hot men around me to having two hot-and-horny men around me. And more than just a little part of me wanted to behad, naked and screaming, up against one of those windows.

“Okay, turn it off, tone it down!” Grey said through clenched teeth.

He rose, leaning on his desk, looming, and I got the impression he was about to tear off his clothes, leap over that desk, and have his way with me.

Harmonia worked her magic again and the stifling sex heat left the room.
