Free Addictions of a Sex Demon by Jaye Shields

into her cheeks. The
man was half unconscious and all he could do was think of saving her. Gods, she
hoped they lived through this. She might even take him up that “eternal” thing.
Her heart ached at the thought of dying. Not so much the death part, but
leaving behind Zahra and Lennox…and Axel.
    “I dislike your silence, Sephina. I would rather you insult
my manhood again.”
    A burst of laughter escaped her, but so too did tears. Yep,
she was in big trouble. She was in love, whether she liked it or not. She was
pretty sure she fell in love the very first night he refused to supply her with
the fae wing.
    “What kind of a dealer doesn’t deal, huh?” She shoved his
shoulder playfully and was glad he wouldn’t see her tears through the darkness.
    “I only deal to keep the bad shit out of my town. Recreation
is one thing, but stuff like fae wing only does bad things to good people.”
    “It takes away bad memories.”
    “I’ll take away your bad memories.”
    Another tear slipped down her cheek. Damn him. One thing was
for sure, when the carriage came to a stop, she was going to fight for her man. My man. The declaration startled her, but at the same time, her heart
swelled to full capacity. Just when she was about to slip into full-on sappy
mode, a strong scent drifted into the air and filled her nostrils. The burning
sulfur aroma was undeniable. “Is their plan to burn us alive?”
    “No. Dragon hunters are after the quetzalem to harvest our
blood. They need me alive to have a constant supply.” Silence followed his
words, and Seph wondered if the pain from his injuries was too great for him to
speak. In the dark inside of the rumbling carriage, his hand found hers.
“Seph.” Her name, although slurred by the effects of the fire suppressant,
warmed her heart.
    “What is it?”
    “I know this is bad timing, but that scent is my heat. It
has begun.”
    His words dripped with defeat, but Sephina perked up at the
news. “Well, a dark traveling torture carriage is a little less romantic than a
lagoon and purple waterfall, but it’ll do.”
    Only a syllable escaped Axel’s lips before she found him in
a kiss. This time, her lips parted against his and invited his tongue to
explore her mouth with the knowledge that she wanted him for more than a hot
ride. She wanted him for life.

Chapter 9
     
    Sephina traced the lines of his hard muscles in the dark,
and when she found blood, she brought her lips to his skin. She kissed his
wounds and wished she could heal them. But there was something she could heal.
Tonight would be more than healing, it would be life changing. Already nude,
she straddled Axel’s lap, kneeling over his hard center so she wouldn’t crush
the injuries left from the arrows that’d been lodged in his chest earlier.
    “Your eyes light this darkness like fire.” Axel’s voice
showed no signs of pain. Instead, Sephina embraced the adoration in his strong
tone. To be his woman made her feel like a goddess. A warrior goddess. She’d
heal her man, and then she’d fight for him. Her hand found his manhood and he
was already hardening for her. She placed him at her entrance.
    “Wait.”
    “What do you mean, wait?” So much for her romantic
death-defying seduction.
    “Come to my lips first.”
    “There’s no time, we don’t know when the hunters will stop,
Axel.”
    “There’s always time.”
    He pulled her forward and she tried to avoid his injuries as
he brought her to straddle his mouth. His lips found her and only a second
later, the world had fallen away and there was only the ecstasy being drilled
into her by Axel’s warm tongue. His hands gripped her ass and aimed her perfectly
above his mouth. He suckled her clit until she gasped with pleasure, and then
dove into her core with his tongue once more. Her thighs quivered as ecstasy
barreled toward her. It was already too much to handle. Seph arched away from
his lips just as climax nearly claimed her. Axel’s hands forced her
