Ruby Shadows (Born to Darkness #3)(122)

Fucking me—oh Goddess, he’s really f*cking me now, I thought deliriously. But though I knew it was wrong, I no longer cared. I didn’t care about anything but the delicious sensation of having his thickness so deep and hard within me, of feeling this pleasure I had been denied for so many years at last.

And then Laish reached between us and began stroking the side of my swollen clit with his thumb, sliding over my wet, open folds as he thrust deep inside me and sucked my tender nipple deep into his mouth.

The triple sensation was just too much. I felt the pleasure that had been building and building inside me beginning to come to a peak. But at the same time, something else was happening inside me.

I had a sudden vision of a golden cord, a rope that was wrapped around my heart, tugging and tightening with each deep thrust of Laish’s shaft inside me. And the other end of the cord went directly to him. It seemed to be trying to connect to him. But why? And how?

Just then two things happened at once that drove the strange vision out of my mind. I felt the tension inside me break and my orgasm began washing over me like a warm tide, pleasure tingling through every nerve in my body like electricity.

At the same time, I felt that familiar quivering in the air all around us. The barrier was breaking! We had done it!

“Laish,” I gasped, looking at him. “Did you feel it? Did you feel it break? We paid the tax!”

“Not quite,” he growled.

“Yes, we did!” I insisted breathlessly. “Quick, pull out of me! Pull out before you come!”

“No.” To my surprise, he gripped my hips even harder and thrust deep inside me, pressing the head of his cock hard to the end of my channel.

“Laish,” I begged, unable to understand why he was doing this. “Laish, please—you said—”


“I said I would keep you safe, whatever the price.” His eyes burned into mine. “Well this is the price, Gwendolyn and now you must pay it.”

And then I felt him coming inside me—long, hard spurts that filled my * with his seed and ended my virginity forever, even by the standards of Hell.

“Laish, no!” I gasped as I felt the hot cum bathing the mouth of my womb and overflowing to leak out of me. But it didn’t matter how much leaked out—he kept filling me, over and over, spurting deep inside me as though he was determined to claim me completely, as though he would never let me go.

His cum inside me seemed to have a strange effect on me. Despite my insistence that he pull out and my worry over what was happening, I felt another orgasm building inside me, this one even deeper than before.

I didn’t want to come again—what I wanted was to get him out of me. But I couldn’t help it—I felt my inner walls spasming around his thick shaft, milking him for the seed he continued to pump into my open, helpless *. It was almost as if my own body was betraying me—trying to get as much of his hot cum inside me as it could when I knew it was the exact opposite of what I should be doing.

“Laish,” I moaned. “Laish, please!” But I couldn’t stop coming and neither, it seemed, could he.

At that moment I had another quick flash of vision—the golden cord that connected us was now tied around his heart as well. I could see it so well I could almost count every fiber of its twisted golden strands.

Then the flash of vision was gone and the moment was over. It was so brief I wondered if it wasn’t some kind of a waking dream—a wish my heart had made that could never come true. As it ended, I came back to myself and realized that it was finally over.

Laish had finished and was pulling out of me, leaving me feeling empty and used and alone.



Chapter Thirty-one

Laish





“Why?” she asked me as I pushed her gently off my lap and laid her on the bed. “Why didn’t you stop?” Tears of hurt and rage were standing in her lovely green eyes, making my heart ache. “Why didn’t you stop when I asked you to? The barrier was broken. If you would have just pulled out—”

“Forgive me,” I said roughly, covering her with the pale yellow bedspread. “But I am, after all, a demon. Did you really think I could deny my nature to despoil indefinitely?”

I wanted desperately to explain my actions to her—to let her know the real reason behind my betrayal. But I knew my true motivations wouldn’t make her feel any better—if anything they would make her feel worse. Better to let her think that I didn’t care and had been acting as any demon would be expected to act.

Better to let her learn to hate me now.

“But…you said you cared about me. You said you loved me.” Her voice broke on that last words, making me feel as though my own blackened heart was breaking as well.

“I said many things. Some of them I even meant.” I could bear no more of this. I stood abruptly and started dressing. “Rest now, Gwendolyn. I have something to attend to,” I told her.

“So that’s it? You took my virginity and now you’re leaving me?”

“Only for a little while.” I kept my face set—calm and impassive. I had no intention of showing her my true feelings lest she suspect what I was going to do.

“But the barrier…the Abyss…I have to close the door…”

“You can worry about that later. For now, rest,” I told her.
