Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 200

Book 2 047 - Little Demons

LUCIUS.

I thought Patrea just wanted me to experience how it felt to fall asleep. I didn’t know she had other plans in mind. But I wasn’t complaining. In fact, I was thankful for the experience she gave me. She knew all the right ways to make me feel important. Patrea let me fall asleep, only to wake me up with my hard cock in her mouth.

I already knew from the very beginning that she was different and that I would be lucky to have her. And after everything that happened today, including my cock in her mouth, it only proved that I was right — I had a very special female in my arms that no other demons were lucky enough to have.

"Are you not going to stop nibbling my neck?" Patrea was giggling as my nose and lips continued to nuzzle and suck her skin.

"I can stay here for along time, just doing this."

"You can’t slack off, you have two kingdoms to rule and protect now."

"Do I?" I pulled away from her neck as a devil’s smirk tugged at my mouth. "If I have to choose, this is the only one I want to rule and protect."

I teased her as my hand cupped her still-wet pussy, letting my fingers rub on her folds and her clit.

She grabbed my wrist and pulled it away from her core while our laughter echoed around our room. I had no idea how to explain this, but my heart felt good. I had laughed many times before, no.vel.e.book but laughing with Patrea really exceeded everything else in my life.

"Okay," she said as she let out a deep breath. "We need to talk."

"Aren’t we talking?" I asked, pulling my hand away from her pussy.

"I mean real talk. I have to confess something." She said, smiling sheepishly at me.

I lay on my side, elbows propped on the mattress, while my cheek rested on my coiled fist as I looked at her.

"Hmmm... Do you want me to read your mind instead, or do you want me to listen?" I asked her as my lips dipped on her palm and I began kissing it.

She cupped my face with the same hand, and it made me tilt my head to look at her. All of a sudden, her aura changed and turned serious.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I pushed myself up and positioned myself to lean my back against the headboard.

She waited until our eyes met before she crawled onto me, straddling my lap. "I know you said you want a baby with me. But I don't think that’s possible."

"Tm not in a rush. It could be a decade or a century from now. I only said it out of impulse."

"you don’t understand." She swallowed, and my forehead creased, waiting for her to continue. "I can’t give you a child, Lucius."

"If you don’t want to have another kid, that’s fine. No pressure." NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Are you listening?" Her voice rose. "I want to give you a child — not just one, but many! As many as you want, but I can’t. I’m not capable of giving you a child whether now or decades from now. Even centuries from now."

Her jaw twitched before her lips quivered and her eyes watered, but she stopped them even before they fell down her cheeks. While the smile on my face was wiped out in an instant.

"I made a horrible mistake because I was so scared. After Adora was born, not even an hour after I gave birth, I was already summoning spirits and chanting spells that I’d been reading and researching while I was pregnant. I did something with my body, so I won't get pregnant again. Ever. I was scared Lucien would rape me and I would end up getting pregnant. The spell is irreversible."

Tears raced down her cheeks, but she kept talking. ''You can say I should have taken those medications I created for the humans he would abuse, but with Lucien, I would never know if I had time to take them if he decided to come for me. I was alone and scared, and I didn’t know what to do... I didn’t want a baby with him. But I want one with you. And I’m so sorry."

Her hands flew to her face, covering it from my sight as her shoulders began to shake. "Ask me anything else, Lucius. I will give it to you. But not an heir. I’m useless in that department now."

I cupped her face and peppered the hands covering her face with kisses. "Take off your hands. I want to see you." I told her in between my kisses.

She slowly lowered her hands, and even with tears in her eyes, she met my gaze. Something I always loved about her was that, no matter how she felt, she would bravely look me in the eyes.

"I didn’t know. But never think for a second that I wanted you because I wanted a son. I had many. One day, I’m sure you will meet them." I pressed a kiss on her forehead before I continued. "I want you, not what you can give me. It never crossed my mind until we conquered Athwart. I just thought to myself, to whom shall I leave that kingdom? But I have many spare heirs. I will never burden you with that."

"I’m sorry." She said in a low voice before her arms wrapped around my neck and she slammed her body against mine. "I wish I could turn back time and have done something else."

"No. You did it to protect yourself. I will never take it against you. Everything you did in the past to survive led you here to me — onto my lap, into my arms. Giving yourself to me was more than enough, Patrea. Just stay with me for eternity, that’s all I will ask of you and nothing more."

"How can you be so perfect?" she asked in a croaked voice.

"I’m a demon, remember? I can allure everyone I want. Maybe that’s why you think I’m perfect."

"Yes, you are. And yes, your allure is working perfectly on me." She chuckled softly, and I knew she was teasing me.

"Do you think you can love me without the allure?" I teased back.

"Allure never turns into love, Lucius." Her answer was serious, and her warmth spread all over me. "I really do love you.”

"I was just kidding. Did I say I used allure on you in the forest the first time we were alone? And in your hotel room days before we meet up with Stone? But it didn’t work. no.vel.e.book After that, I just stopped trying because it was crushing my ego. Because how could a witch deflect my allure like I wasn’t that powerful?"

"I just got out of the place I used to hate the most. What made you think I would immediately fall on my knees and worship you?"

"It used to work with all the other females."

"I’m not like the other females."

"I already know that. And I’m glad it didn’t work because I would rather you fell in love with me because of me, not my allure."

"I’m glad it didn’t work, too. I definitely want you because of you, Lucius. I think I knew well enough if I’m being enchanted."

My hand gripped her jaw before pulling her closer and smashing our mouths together.

I was sure I didn’t use any allure on this female. In fact, I couldn’t even remember the last time I used my allure on a female. All I knew was that, ever since my eyes laid on Patrea, all the other females of whatever species could not be compared to her. I hope she knows that. I pulled away from kissing her, making her hiss in the process, but I wanted to make sure I got my message across. I caught her eyes and brushed my thumb against the soft skin of her cheek. no.vel.e.book "I just want to make sure you understand that I love you, and that comes with no condition as to what else you can give me. It’s you I want and love, Patrea. Just you. So throw any doubts that you have that you will make me unhappy because we can’t have little demons. I’m happy with you and no one, and nothing can change that."
