Page 91 of His Little Devil
“Yes, they are fine,” he grunts before storming out of the room and leaving me to my memories. Days attending his lectures. Nights at the cottage. The ball with Donovan. Closing my eyes, I slip under the hot water and hide the tears escaping my eyes.
I made a choice. I married Luke. I need to move on.
“Merida,that’s not how you frost sugar cookies,” I groan at the troll using her magic to make them perfect. “We do it the old fashioned way or not at all,” I snap, then immediately feel bad.
My emotions and hormones are going crazy the last few days. I think it’s because Shayna is here. I know Luke wanted us to become friends, but she’s too damn friendly, and I overheard her telling Bridget, my new maid, that she’s had a huge crush on Luke since he was her teacher.
She seems smart, but trying to incorporate herself into my alone time with my husband and Kane is pissing me off. Like now. I can hear her annoying giggles from the dining room.
Storming out of the kitchen, I leave Merida to do whatever she wants and stomp into the room where Shayna is shamelessly flirting. I swear she only has two emotions; sobbing about the death of her friends, and flirting with untouchable men… er demons.
“Ah, Little Devil, I was just wondering where you were,” Luke says, standing once he spots me.
Shayna gives me a soft smile, but she can’t hide the lust in her eyes. My hands shake, and I’m about to hurl a fireball in her direction, but Kane catches on and rushes over to me, pulling me into a quick kiss.
We still haven’t had alone time together, and I think I need to rectify that. When he releases me, I lick the taste of him from my lips and glare at the harlot in the room.
“Do you have a problem with your eyes and ears?” I snap, and she pauses.
“Um, I’m not sure how to reply to that,” she says, and I roll my eyes.
“Luke is mine. My husband, my mate, my Devil,” I growl, and she jumps away from me.
“Stay away from my man!”
Kane grabs my arm, chuckling and pulls me to his chest. Shayna looks between us, and I know she’s about to open her mouth, and make me hit her.
“He is mine too! Touch and you’ll lose limbs,” I grumble, pointing to Kane, and watch as she visibly shivers.
I give her a big, toothy smile, and Kane drags me out of the room.
“Okay, love, I think it’s time we went for a walk, hmm?” he says, leading me outside and to the garden. I try to take in a breath of fresh air and cool off, but all I get is a lungful of smog.
“Ugh, I hate it here. I want to go back to Salem,” I grumble and Kane laughs, shaking his head, then pulling me tight into his arms, pressing a kiss onto my forehead.
God, this Incubus is good.
Melting into his arms, I sigh. “I know what you’re going to say and I don’t care. I do not like her, Kane. There is just something… It rubs me the wrong way,” I grumble, and he chuckles.
His chest vibrates with the sound, and I groan, rubbing my thighs together. This man bleeds lust and I’ve noticed he struggles to contain his powers with me.
“Silver, you don’t need to like her. You are her queen, but I can promise you that you don’t have anything to worry about. Luke is devoted to you as am I.” I nod my head, then back away from him and take his offered hand.
“Come, let me sneak you away for a few hours.”
My eyes light up as a portal appears. I get to leave here!
“Where are we going?”
“Jamaica. We have a small island there that’s deserted. You can get some sun and fresh air as I fuck you in the ocean,” he mumbles against my ear, holding me close.
A blast of air hits my back and I’m torn from him.
Luke comes storming out of the castle, his hands in the air, and his eyes glowing with his power.
“Luke,” Kane begins, but is silenced with a wave of my husband's hand.
“No, Silver is not leaving. Did you not just hear about the Hunters’ latest attack?” he growls, moving closer to Kane, hitting him in the chest with another blast of air.
