Hell's Consort

Chapter 58 - Husbands*

The Archdemon leaned in close, his heartbeat suddenly a roar in her ears. "I would gladly give it to you."

Dizziness abruptly flooded her mind, her thoughts breaking apart, unable to realign themselves.

Where was she again?

What was happening to her?

Her vampire's hands were, of course, too pale, too still.

Luna had religiously kept tabs on her appetite, and she also knew she had thrown up other human food and blood.

The real problem here is, can she keep Lux's blood down after ingesting it as she did with Ravin?

Squirming as sweat dripped on her back, she was having trouble catching her breath as her gaze locked on Lux's pulse, moisture flooding her mouth.

The Archdemon's skin appeared soft, his vein full.

Blood ... Luna needed blood.

"I would like to make this clear, Luxen." Luna pushed him off her, but she was too weak to hold Lux's weight, and she crashed back into the cold floor. "I didn't ask for sex, I was asking for blood so keep your desires to yourself."

This rake held too many liberties on her person, too caught up in his role as an Archdemon of Lust.

She needed to establish personal boundaries from this self-proclaimed brother-in-law of hers.

Lux stopped so suddenly, almost betraying surprise. He appeared astounded. "But I noticed that blood and sex go hand-in-hand according to the vampires I had seen in action."

Luna's hand trembled as she reached out to stroke his face, using her hypnotic vampire voice to coax him to do what she wanted. "Your blood brother, the Archdemon of Gluttony, was my mate and you have to respect that."

"Archdemons wouldn't care so much. We always share women in Hell back in the days when Gluttony and I were young and horny. Sticking to only one being is boring, don't you think?"

Lux sounded like he stood at the end of a tunnel, his voice thick as honey and distant, slowing. "We can if I wanted it to."

Was his voice trying to seduce her?

"But I don't want you." Luna blinked slowly, her eyelashes casting flickering shadows on her cheeks.

The High Priestess' hazel irises were glazed, dull, but when they latched on to the pulse at his neck, they lit, swirled, once more like living emeralds, glowing.

She uttered, "Vulnus manus vestras, avertam oculos et me bibendum, Luxen."

As if controlled like a puppet through invisible strings, Lux was forced to hold out his hand, cut his palm with one of his talons as he hovered over her, remaining an appropriate distance to his sister-in-law.

He clenched his fist as he poured every precious drop into Luna's mouth.

He opened his fingers, the pool of blood trickling too slowly for her peace of mind.

The Archdemon's wound healed quickly, its flesh weaving back together and finally sealing shut.

+++

Luna waited patiently as he slashed his palms again.

She contemplated biting Lux's neck, but that would be too intimate.

Luna didn't want to betray the Blood Beast in any shape or form, so getting physical with the Archdemon of Lust was out of the question.

It would take a long time before she got full.

The red liquid slid down her throat, warm and smooth but not what she needed.

At least her stomach remained calm.

But she wanted more than that.

With that rush of strength bursting out from her body, Luna aggressively outmaneuvered him so that she was on top and pinned Lux to the ground.

Her fangs were in his neck, cutting deep, his blood flowing into her mouth.

No longer was she trying to get away from him.

She could hear herself swallowing, purring as the Archdemon of Lust's flavor met her tongue.

Now she was leaning all of her weight into him, nails clawing past his shirt and at his skin.

The Archdemon of Lust was already hard as a rock, arching up, thrusting his hips, and grinding his erection into Luna's lower body.

+++

Lux gritted his teeth against the bliss as spots of color began to cloud his vision.

He was an Archdemon.

How can this High Priestess affect him like this?

He was powerful.

He had never experienced a single moment of his life where he struggled to bring his strength back.

The High Priestess took a lot of blood, but still, he didn't push her away.

She needed it, and it was on her command.

She gentled her bite and finally wrenched her mouth away.

+++

"Thank you." Some of Luna's colors returned as Lux eased back on the floor, gazing at her with seductive silver eyes.

Slowly, the Archdemon of Lust reached out to grab her by the back of her neck, brought her head down, and kissed her.

His fangs accidentally bit her lip, cutting the delicate tissue as drops of her blood seeped into his mouth.

She knew the thought of drinking blood would be abhorrent to The Archdemon of Lust when he wasn't even a vampire.

Why was he doing this?

But maybe Lux needed her blood.

Was it to satisfy an Archdemon's curiosity regarding vampires, or was it one of his kinky cravings?

Well, Luna could give anything besides sex because she was the High Priestess.

This will be her way of showing gratitude to Lux.

Hopefully, a little drop of blood would not turn him accidentally into a vampire when she already acquired the blood of the Vampire King and the Blood Beast in her system, including Hecate's.

She had never shared her blood with anyone for those very reasons.

Luna guessed she would find out what happened to people who had a taste of her blood except for her mate.

Luna pushed him down and pinned his arms to the ground when she realized Lux wasn't planning to stop anytime soon.

The Archdemon was panting and trembling.

Luna inhaled deeply, her nostrils catching a lovely, erotic scent that was dark with a hint of a biting spice.

She felt an answering rush of wetness between her legs, and it was a guilty pleasure of hers.

"What is that wonderful smell?"

"Me," The Archdemon of Lust murmured as his gaze traveled leisurely to her face and body. "It's what happens when an Archdemon male bonds. I can't help it. If you let me keep going and have sex with you, it will be all over your skin, your hair, inside you. Your entire being. I am marking you."

+++

She had no idea of the magnitude of what Lux had done.

Or did she?

The Archdemon of Lust's gaze intensified on her.

She sat up, smoothing her hair from her face with a wobbly hand.

"What are you looking at?"

She wore an expression of annoyance, but her words were slurred and thick, her gaze still checking out his neck even if the wound had already healed.

No, she didn't know.

The High Priestess' ignorance was the best highlight of this day.

Well, at least he didn't need to possess a body to stay in the Vampyr Realm now.

He doubted the stupid High Priestess would be brave enough to kill virgins for the sacrifice and perform dark rituals for him.

"Congratulations," Lux said as he smirked. "You now have two mates from Hell."
