Free Asmodeus: Demon of Lust---Part One (Princes of Hell) by Sara Humphreys Page B

him better access, taking the kiss even deeper. One large hand ran down her back and rested on her ass, pressing her against the hard evidence of his desire.
    Kai slid her soapy hands up his chest and linked her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, though she knew it would never be close enough. There was something about his energy that filled her up and she knew it would become addictive— he would become addictive. This man with no light was able to stir Kai’s soul and ignite passion in her the way no one else ever had.
    He tasted like sin, sex, and seduction and...Kai wanted more.
    Aaron groaned into her mouth, and the sound of his desire and desperate need for her almost made her come apart. He slipped his hands beneath the edge of her tank top and she sighed as the rough skin of his hands rasped along her lower back. His hot flesh pressed against hers and as they stood there tangled up in each other, the cuckoo clock on the kitchen wall sounded loudly and broke through the haze of lust, bringing Kai back to reality.
    What on earth was she doing? Kai was making out like some horny harlot in the middle of the kitchen with a man she didn’t even know. Not really. All she knew was that he was a Dark One who kissed like he did it for a living.
    Since she still didn’t know what being a Dark One really meant, it would probably be a good idea to put on the brakes. Finding a tiny shred of self-control, Kai softened the kiss as her body shuddered against his with unsatisfied desire. She suckled playfully on his lip as she broke the kiss.
    “Well, Mr. Miles,” she said between heavy breaths.
    “You should probably call me Aaron,” he murmured as he placed a kiss on her forehead.
    “Right, Aaron.” Kai pulled back and looked him in the eyes. “That was not how I was expecting to finish your first day of work.”
    “I’m still getting paid, right?” he asked in a teasing tone.
    “Very funny,” Kai said on a laugh. He held her closer as she tossed her head back and let out a sound of frustration. “I don’t even know you,” she said as she stared at the tin tile ceiling.
    “This is us getting to know each other,” Aaron murmured as he trailed hot wet butterfly kisses down her throat.
    “Mm-hmm.” Kai’s eyelids fluttered closed and she sank into the seductive sensations as the sound of rain falling on the roof added to the richness of the moment.
    She unlinked her fingers from behind his head and splayed her hands over the back of his neck and as the ring grazed his skin...Kai’s entire world shifted on its axis.
    Aaron cried out in pain, grabbed the back of his neck and shoved her away from him abruptly.
    Kai stumbled backward, holding the edge of the counter to keep from falling over, and gaped at Aaron in horror.
    The glow he’d had when holding her was gone but that was the least of her problems. It was his eyes. They glowed bright red and shone at her beneath jet-black brows. When he saw the way she was looking at him, Aaron dropped his arms to his sides and squared his shoulders. For a moment, she thought he actually looked apologetic but standing in front of the open window, with the stormy sky behind him, he looked more dangerous than ever before.
    Kai’s hands covered her mouth and she watched in horrified fascination as a massive tattoo appeared out of nowhere, covering both of his arms. It was fuzzy at first, like static on a television but within seconds a bold, intricate tattoo, black as coal, was emblazoned up those muscular arms, disappearing beneath the t-shirt. Kai shuddered because only moments ago those arms had been wrapped around her.
    “What are you?” she said in a trembling voice. Kai backed up slowly, moving around the table, needing to put something more than distance between them. “My mother was right. Stay away from me.”
    “Kai, wait.” Aaron’s voice was even deeper than before and his eyes glowed brightly. “I do not want to hurt you. Please, you have to listen
