Demon Mine (Karmic Lust) Page 7

  “Ohhh.” Her breath caught as he nipped her where her shoulder and neck met just as her fingers dipped into her channel. Her hips bucked with her need, and she pulled her fingers out quickly so she would not orgasm. She held her fingers up for him to show him how wet she was.

  “That’s beautiful, Lili. Your fingers are soaked. Lick them clean.” Smiling, she took her fingers and placed them in her mouth, licking them clean of her juices. She felt him moving behind and then he was thrusting inside of her. She let out a long gasp, arching back against him. He thrust in until he was in as deep as he could go and then held himself still. She felt his lips at her ear, his teeth tugging at the lobe.

  "I love taking you from behind like this. I can touch every part of you." His breath tickled her ear as he whispered softly into it. She shuddered as he nipped the lobe again. He was right. This was one of the best positions to be in with him. His thrusts seemed deeper and his hands touched her body so reverently that even if she wanted to she couldn't speak. Her head fell back against his shoulder, and she moaned.

  "Move with me, baby." His goatee tickled the side of her neck, and she shivered with pleasure.

  No more urging needed from him. She moved into his rhythm, her hand moving to cup the back of his head, tangling into his long tresses. Whoever said you had to be in the missionary position for it to be making love didn't know what they were talking about, she thought. Samael was inventive, and she adored that about him.

  His cock seemed thicker, harder and even longer in this position, and it hit just the right place, her g-spot. Slowly, he loved her, their panting filling the room as they neared completion. Both of their bodies bore a light sheen of perspiration, which made his hands slide over her as he moved from her breasts to cup her lower belly. Liliana cupped her breasts once they were bereft of his touch, tugging and pulling at her hard and sensitive nipples.

  She moved her leg from his, laying it on top of her other one, placing pressure around her opening on his cock. He groaned and nipped her shoulder. She felt the beginning vibrations running through her body as her inner muscles contracted around his cock.

  "Ohhhh, Samaellll!" She wailed and pushed back hard against him. His hands moved to tighten at her hips, holding her to him, and then he climaxed with a shout, pulling her deeper into her own orgasm. Her eyes closed and behind her eyelids swirls of different colored lights filtered through until she lay against him spent. He stroked within her a few more times as her body's contractions pulled at his pulsing cock and emptied it of his cream. They lay in a heap together, panting, neither one daring to speak.

  All through the night, they reached for one another and made love. The connection between them filled with an urgency to join not only sexually but also mentally. There truly were no words to describe how she felt about him or he about her. All they could do was whisper words of love as they made contact with one another frequently throughout the long night.

  Chapter Nine

  Liliana sat up in bed with a start, tears streaming down her face. Her chest heaved, and her heart beat erratically. It felt just like she had run a marathon. She placed her hand on her heart as if that would stop it from beating so fitfully, her glance moving to the clock on her dresser. Its neon green color informed her it was five in the morning. She didn't have to look to know Samael was gone. It was the price of the curse, right?

  Her dreams had finally revealed to her the truth. This last dream showed her a camp by the Tigris River that she'd called home with Samael. From that very vision, she'd learned who she'd been. She also had to acknowledge that her flesh and blood sister, Eva, through the ages, had lied to her continually. She should feel relieved that she knew the truth, but all she could feel was sick to her stomach with worry, hurt and anger.

  She was Lilith, and had been Adam's first wife, the Adam she now recognized as Clay Quinones. He'd also been the young Adam who'd come to her when she was a child, her friend and her protector. No wonder she'd latched on to him again as an adult. Her dreams had revealed to her that even Eva didn't know everything. It was ironic that the one person Eva had wanted had always been within her grasp, but she'd not been able to see it because of her envy. Envy was such an ugly thing.

  Eva didn't want her with Samael because Eva had wanted her to be as unhappy as she was. This was because Eva had been a jealous bitch thinking that Adam wanted her and not Eva. She'd be a victim no more. Confronting Eva would be facing the truth and ending a curse that should never have existed. Karma was going to be a bitch named Liliana Jackson.

  The next thought was, now that she knew what'd happened, would she still love Samael the way she did before knowing the full extent of his curse? Was she in love with him because her subconscious thought that was what she was supposed to do? So many factors made this an all too scary proposition. What if in finding out what she had caused, the cycle not only broke, but their love for one another also dried up? Too many what ifs out there needed answers. Samael knew about the curse and all that it entailed. Was she angry with him because of that? No. Part of his curse was to know and not be able to inform her about it. She would not direct the anger she felt at Samael; no, it all would belong to Eva.

  Her mind made up, she turned over, reaching for her cell phone and dialing Eva's number. She didn't care it was five in the morning: she wanted answers, and she deserved them. She listened to the ringing on the other end. Come on, Eva, pick up the damn phone.

  "Lili? Is something wrong? Why are you calling me so early?"

  "Oh yes, there is loads wrong, Eve.” She placed emphasis on the name Eve. “How about you come over and straighten this out?"

  "Eve?" She sounded ready to protest.

  “Yes, Eve. I know who you are.” As Eva tried to protest, Liliana cut her off. “Don't bother trying to explain over the phone. Get your ass over here and explain it to me in person." Liliana hung up the phone. Standing, she went to her dresser and pulled out a comfortable pair of shorts and a t-shirt to throw on for when Eva got there; she also brushed her hair and teeth. Cleaning up and making herself presentable made her feel like she would be on an even keel with Eva. Those actions also made it possible for her to calm and center herself. No more tears. She needed to be strong, letting her anger fuel her.

  She found that the anger hadn’t lessened. She remembered when Eve had cursed them by the Tigris. Eve had had no sympathy and would not listen to reason. It hurt, and it angered her. In all these years, Eve could have surely put a stop to it. Leaving her bedroom, she made her way downstairs and stopped dead in her tracks when she went in the living room to wait and Eva was already there. She recovered quickly and watched as Eva stood.

  “So, sister dear, when were you going to tell me that you’re a demon as well?” Liliana’s arms crossed her chest as she prepared for battle.

  “When did you remember?”

  “Does that really matter? I’ve remembered everything.”

  “You’ve remembered everything? Well, then that means you know what I want.”

  “Just answer me one thing. In all the years we have known one another through time, but most especially this present time that you’ve been my sister, you never once thought this was all a mistake? I didn’t want Adam. The one I wanted I left the Garden for and that was Samael. You were too blind in your jealousy to see that!”

  “Yes, I'd thought about it at one point.”

  Liliana frowned at her answer. She knew her face had to show the disbelief she was feeling and cocked her head to the side. “Oh? And when the hell would that have been?”

  “When we had our talk about the date I had with Clay.”

  "I'm angry. Eva, I’m angrier than I’ve ever been with you. So many years have gone by." Tears filled her eyes and threatened to spill over; she blinked, trying hard to stop them from falling. She knew if she allowed them to fall, she'd have a hard time stopping. "So many years lost between Samael and me. Hell, so much time lost with you. There are so many times throughout our historie
s together that we were real sisters. If you’d had one ounce of sympathy or even the love you say you feel for me, you would've stopped this nonsense. This wasn’t about me. It never was. It's always been about you and your selfishness.”

  “You’re right. I’ve been selfish. I’m sorry, Lili, so very sorry.”

  “No, you’re not getting off that easy. I know what I have to do now. I have to free Samael and myself from this curse by speaking my true name.”

  "I have taken care of you, Lili!" Eva huffed in frustration and moved farther into the room.

  "You only took care of me when it suited your needs, Eva. Or should I call you Eve?"

  "Lili, please—"

  Lili raised her hand to stop her from talking. "Please what, Eva? Why should I allow you any thought when you didn't give a damn about how I felt? Because you've changed? Is that what you want me to believe?"

  "I have cha—”

  Lili cut her off. "Don't even try it. How is it possible that you have changed that quickly? Tell me how a demon can change."

  "Things have changed, Lili. I promise you."

  "You have a long way to go to prove that to me, Eva. There have been too many lies from you. The funny thing is, I can't hate you. I am one who believes that things happen for a reason. I don't think this was because I needed to learn a lesson." Eva's brow raised, and she crossed her arms.

  "Are you trying to say I need to learn a lesson?"

  Liliana laughed. "And you think you don't need to learn one? Think about it this way. As much as you have been trying to keep me from Samael, you've never once gotten what you've wanted or needed, have you? You haven't had a decent relationship through any of this. So with you thinking you don’t need to learn anything that just tells me you aren’t ready to admit you’re wrong."

  "Lili I…"

  "I am Lilith." Liliana shook her head, and looking directly at Eva, she spoke the three words that would forever change how things stood between them. It was like the breaking of chains that held her down as she said those words. She no longer felt heavy. Hearing a sound, she turned and looked behind her towards the door and in the early morning light, there stood Samael, her demon and lover. Tentatively, she took a step forward, smiling as he held his arms open. She ran into them with a sob. The dam that held the tears back broke, and she sobbed uncontrollably. He was actually there with her, and she was holding him in the daylight.

  "My Lilith." His lips touched her forehead lightly as he kissed her.

  "You're really here, Samael. You're standing here in front of me and not a hallucination but a wonderful reality."

  "You remembered as I hoped you would."

  Eva spoke up, and both of them turned to look at her.

  "Samael, what did you do? The rules were that you could not tell her anything! She had to remember on her own!"

  "You're right, Eva. The rules of the curse were that I couldn't tell her anything, and I didn't." He grinned. "There was nothing that said someone else couldn't remind her." Both Liliana and Eva gazed at him, waiting for him to finish.

  Samael turned to gaze at Liliana. His hand moved to cup her cheek and stroked gently over her lips, then moved to cup the back of her neck. "I knew I couldn't tell you anything. Then I got to thinking about the angel, Remiel."

  "Remiel? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Liliana had forgotten about Eva being in the room, until she heard her speak and answer the question for Samael.

  "Remiel is the Angel of Visions. Let me guess. You used him to enter Lili's dreams."

  "Ah, she catches on so well. Yes, that's exactly what I did. I couldn't trust that you'd do what was right, and time was running out. All I needed was for you to be distracted." Liliana saw the beginnings of a smile on Samael’s face.

  "Distracted? Who'd you use?" Before he could answer, Eva’s eyes widened, and her mouth hung open like a fish gasping for air. "Clay. You used Clay. Why’d he do it? Is that why he has been spending time with me? I knew it couldn't be because he wanted me. He had a fucking ulterior motive!" Eva looked furious.

  "No, he didn't, other than to put right what you destroyed all those years ago."

  Liliana looked at Samael. "She doesn't know, does she?" she said softly.

  "No, baby. Her trap, as clever as she was with it, also trapped the both of them, just as it did us."

  "What do you mean it trapped them? Who the hell are you talking about?"

  "I am talking about you and Clay, my dear Eva," Samael said to Eva.

  Liliana watched the moment of clarity wash over Eve's face, making it apparent she realized whom the 'he' was.

  "He's Adam, isn't he?" Just as Samael appeared when Liliana spoke her true name, Clay appeared standing just behind the other couple. He held his hand out to Eva, but she refused to take it.

  "No, I won't go. You lied to me. I’m a mere distraction, right?" she growled out furiously. She turned frantic eyes to Liliana. "Lili, please, I’m sorry."

  “No, I’ve had enough of your bullshit. Go please, and I’ll let you know if and when I want to deal with you again.”

  “What about our business?” Eva was sputtering, no longer as cool and collected as she always was, which proved to Liliana that she wasn’t a hard ass like she pretended to be, demon or not.

  “The business will be fine. I didn’t say I wouldn’t be working. I just have nothing to say to you, and right now, I am not sure I ever will.” She turned back to Samael and wrapped her arms around him, holding tightly to him, burying her face into the side of his neck with a whispery sigh.

  Clay moved around Samael and Liliana and stood towering over Eva. This time he took her hand without asking for it. The look he gave Eva seemed to silence her and keep her in place. "I think it's time we left, Eva. We are finished here and unless Liliana invites you back or initiates contact, you will not bother them. It is done." Eva gawked at Clay, yet no words passed through her lips. With a smile, Clay nodded to Liliana and Samael.

  "We'll take our leave now." Then they were gone.

  "I'm not sure I'll ever get used to that." She chuckled.

  "The disappearing act that we demons are fond of?” Taking her hand, he tugged at it, sitting on the large, black leather sofa and pulling her onto his lap.

  "Yeah, that's very unnerving. I was used to it with you when I thought I had only one demon in my life, and now I find myself surrounded."

  "I thought you were used to that from me?" She leaned up, kissing him, teasing her lips over his and gently tasting him. His tongue ran across the seam of her lips begging for entrance. Her eyes closed, and her head fell back into the crook of his arm as they indulged in each other. Tongues swirled together, hands moved over each other's bodies and before long, the room filled with heavy breathing. Parting her lips from his, she looked at him, still not quite believing he was before her.

  "Is it really over, Samael? I mean, you won't be taken from me again?"

  "It is, and it isn't." His fingers stroked over her frown to smooth her forehead.

  "Remembering who you are is only the beginning to our story, not an ending." He grinned at her as she playfully hit his shoulder.

  "You know you scared the shit out of me, right?"

  "I will be here for the rest of your days, and mine, taking care of you. It has been designed so that our lifelines always intersect. Never fear that we are over, for even when we are no longer as we are now, we will be together again."

  "Doesn't it stand to reason that the same can be said for Eva and Clay?"

  He nodded in agreement. "Yes, it stands to reason that'd be the path for Eva and Clay. Alternatively, Eva would have to be sensible about everything that's happened. She can still go against the natural progression of how things were meant to be. They have a long road ahead of them. She's got a lot of jealousy and anger issues to deal with that concern him."

  "I don't know why I care."

  "You care, my love, because it is who you have always been. Caring and sweet, and she's been a hug
e part of your life. She's your sister and has been throughout time. Give it a bit. Perhaps you'll forgive her."

  "Perhaps." She shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to think of that, at least not yet. "I must thank Clay and Remiel properly."

  "You will, but they'll understand if we don't leave this house for a few days." She giggled, shaking her finger at him.

  "I have other things to do besides lay about and be your sex slave." He leaned forward and nipped her finger, causing her to shriek. She laughed, and he leaned forward, kissing the tip of her finger.

  "So tell me about these other things you have in mind to do besides being my sex slave."

  "Um, you got me there. Do you have any ideas?" She grinned.

  "Well, if you can't be my sex slave, how about I be yours?"

  "Mmm, now that's very promising, my Samael. I love you so much. The one thing I could not bear was to be without you in the light so I gladly kept you in the dark. Just so I could have a piece of happiness with you."

  "As Clay said, it is done. I love you, too, Liliana. I'd give up my wings again if it came down to it. You're worth that and so much more. Now we have forever."

  "That we do, my demon, that we do. So how about we be each other's sex slaves?" Giggling and leaning forward, she kissed him soundly, cutting off his chuckle as they began to revel in their forever together.
