A Deal in Darkness (Dark and Devilish #2)

36

DAMNED IF YOU DON'T

ADRIANA

I 'm surprised by the water’s warmth as it touches my legs and ass, and I sink into it, relaxing.

“I wouldn't relax too much, baby.”

Enzo pulls me back onto him and I giggle, letting myself fall deeper into my arousal. Despite everything, and maybe in spite of it, I'm feeling playful. Dangerously playful if I'm a good judge of Enzo's mood.

“This will be fun,” he whispers in my ear. “For both of us.”

His lips brush against my earlobe and a shiver rolls down my spine. I’m still sore after everything that happened in Hell. Despite the care Enzo’s provided in the days since.

“You trust me, right?”

I want to say yes, but I’m hesitant. Even now.

“Still unsure then,” Enzo sighs, disappointed. “Let’s work on that.” He bites my ear and I squeal. “You need to trust me enough to obey without question, baby.”

His hand grabs my collar and tugs at it, reminding me of its presence. I’ve grown accustomed to it now and the increased pressure sends a jolt of electricity to my core. My legs tighten around his waist and my clit throbs, begging me to grind against him and find relief.

And release.

Minutes ago, I was angry with him. Now, I’m desperate to fuck him.

Enzo has me dancing to whatever music he’s playing and my body craves his attention. It’s ignoring its aches and pains, seeking the pleasure he’ll provide—and the security of being close to him.

“Lie back for me,” he says.

His hands cup my ass as I lean back and the lines in his face deepen. I’ve pulled away, but my hands still cling to his shoulders, refusing to let go. Enzo waits and does that annoying as fuck eyebrow move that warns me I’m testing his patience.

Trust him.

Or obey him anyway.

“Enzo…”

“Daddy.” His voice is harsh again.

My lips straighten into a thin line. “I think I wanted to ask for something. From you.” I glance up at the night sky and the stars cascading through it. “Please, Daddy.”

Enzo’s hands grip my ass and the sharp sting of pain spreads over it.

“It isn’t much,” I say, mumbling, “and I thought it might help.”

My finger drags down his center and his eyes follow it, burning hotter than the fires I witnessed in Hell. It moves onto his stomach and toward his groin, stopping at his belt buckle, and Enzo’s lips let a small moan escape them.

“Who’s being a needy girl?” he says. “What is it you want?”

“You,” I mumble, digging my fingertip into his stomach. “Amaymon.”

He sucks air through his teeth as his breath catches, and his eyes snap up to mine. The red flecks bleed into starlight, lighting with his arousal. They’re flooded with hope so bright it eclipses all the darkness and fire contained in his irises.

“I want us to have this, Enzo. I want this to be ours.”

Enzo nods and grabs my hair, pulling me into him and kissing me roughly. I groan as he takes everything he wants, asserting his dominance and leaving me struggling to keep up.

“Are you sure, baby?” he breathes against my lips.

I moan my response as his tongue thrusts into my mouth, stealing my words and breath as his kiss deepens. My hand grips his belt as my legs tighten around him and his hands play with my ass and lower back, building my arousal until it matches his.

“Lie back, baby girl.”

I lean back against his hands and rest my back on the water. I float in its warmth as Enzo adjusts my legs and hips, keeping them in place around him but at a more comfortable angle. A more exposing one too.

Especially when his magic washes over me and renders me naked in seconds.

“Eyes on me.”

My gaze wanders up him as darkness floods through his eyes and the flecks of red turn crimson. They dazzle like blood red rubies and the starlight dances around them, shimmering with as much excitement as the desire pulsing through me.

Enzo’s skin darkens, changing to the color of steel blue and his muscles grow, increasing his size. His clothes fade away as he changes and the markings on his skin appear, deep black lines and curves, symbolizing things I don’t understand.

His fingers turn to claws and his size increases until he’s almost all I see. I stare at his face, seeing the vicious teeth and hideous horns. They send a tremor through my soul and I brace against it, remembering that this is Enzo and I am safe.

Mostly.

Probably.

The angles of his face are sharp and his smile more wicked. It’s truly devilish. It ought to strike terror into me, but it doesn’t. As should the wings that protrude from his back, clearly designed to intimidate, cripple and annihilate. They’re lined with talons and, if I had any doubt about Enzo being a monster, they extinguish it.

“Perfect, baby.”

Enzo waits as my eyes take him in, exploring his harsh lines and sharp curves. There’s nothing soft about him in this form, and his brutal strength is evident in every inch of his body. His muscles are hard and their angles acute, drawing my eye down to his groin.

And his fucking massive cock.

He’s bigger. In this form. Fuck me. Technically, he has, but I’m not sure it’s possible when his dick is that fucking huge.

“That won’t fit…”

My voice is a whimper and Enzo smirks, bending down to kiss my forehead and taking the opportunity to rub his cock over me.

“We’ve already proven it does.”

His teeth grate over my skin as his hand wraps around my throat. I catch a breath as he holds me on the water’s surface and I float, suspended between two warm bodies. My body bobs on the gentle waves as Enzo plays with my breasts, kissing and licking them.

Surprisingly gently.

His teeth don’t scrape and his claws are featherlight when they catch me. Goosebumps break over my skin as his mouth roams over me and when he sucks a nipple into his mouth, my clit throbs as pleasure breaks over me. Enzo doesn’t stop as I moan underneath him.

I arch my back and I drift on the waves beneath me. Water laps over my stomach as my movements increase and Enzo rocks his hips, slowly sliding his cock up my body.

Enzo lifts his head and kisses me, and my heart races, aroused and wanting everything he’s about to give me. He drags his hands down my body and then lifts them above me. Palms up. Like he’s about to receive a gift from above.

Droplets of water fall upwards, pulled up from the lake beneath us. They move like raindrops in reverse, each one catching the light from the moon and stars and dispersing it as they move toward the night sky. The silvers and shimmers burst above me as thousand rainbows of starlight and moonlight form above me.

“Amaymon…” I catch myself and stare into the darkness of his eyes. “It’s…”

He nods. “For you.”

The droplets keep rising but they start twisting together, forming spirals of moonlight water that coil above. Each tendril rotates around another as they intertwine, growing larger and more enchanting and more beautiful. Finally, they descend and wrap around my limbs, binding me to the lake beneath me.

I try to rise, but they hold me down.

Adrenaline pulses into me, my excitement tinged with anxiety, uncertain what Enzo’s doing or how far this will go. It could be too far. This could be too much. But that’s the thrill of this—and that’s the lesson he wants me to learn.

“Trust me,” he says, dropping his head onto my breasts.

Now, his teeth grate. Now, they scrape. The sting of pain merges with pleasure and I arch my back, only giving him better access to my breasts. The water holds me down and Enzo increases the pressure as it tightens its hold and moves up my thighs.

A strand shoots between my legs, and I gasp as it briefly brushes over my clit.

“Behave,” Enzo growls.

I buck and his teeth dig into me. Heat tears through me and I cry, as the curls of water refuse to let me go and my thrashing becomes more forceful. More defiant.

Every act of rebellion leads to more pain and Enzo’s fighting fire with fire. I’m working hard, but it isn’t enough and Enzo refuses to back down as my anxiety turns to panic. A spiral of water coils in front of me before tightening around my throat, doing just enough to make it harder to breathe.

Enzo isn’t cutting off my air, but he could.

If I don’t behave. If he wants to—and he might.

His mouth roams over my body as his cock slides against me and the beat of his heart tells me he’s excited. He’s more than aroused and when he draws back, the fire in his eyes and the hardness of his cock make his desire clear.

Enzo fists his cock, staring down at me as I writhe against my bonds.

“Trust me to give you what you want, sweet girl.” He grins and his cock jerks as he thrusts into his hand and drops of precum spill onto my stomach.

The water spirals between my legs again, and this time it does more than brush my clit. It’s pressing on it and the sensation is divine, rocking my core with ripples of pleasure. The force of it is too damn much and I scream as Enzo forces an orgasm from me in seconds.

My climax bursts through me and I tremble, panting as I try to cool myself and calm my heart.

“Trust me to give you want you need, baby.”

The water teases my entrance, and it’s so damn close it’s excruciating.

“Who owns you, baby?”

I arch my back, and the water around my neck tightens.

This is pleasure and pain. It’s the agony of choice. It’s the rock and the hard place, the deep blue sea and the devil controlling it. This is Enzo, and the choice I’m offered: trust him or accept the consequences if I don’t.

“You,” I rasp.

“Who owns you, baby?” he asks again.

I try to swallow but I can’t and my eyes widen as they meet Enzo’s. His hand runs up my stomach and his claws dig in, giving me a bite of pain that heightens the warmth spreading through me. I moan as my clit aches and my pussy clenches, needing more. Wanting more.

“Daddy.”

The water loosens, and I catch a breath. And then it floods into me and my pussy clamps down on it as my excitement surges.

“Fuck.”

“We will, perfect girl,” Enzo growls, still stroking his cock. “But first, I’m going to play with my perfect fuck toy.”

My stomach tightens as the water pulses and I close my eyes for a second, surrendering to its sensation. I snap them open and make another choice, giving in and letting go, allowing Enzo to control this. To control me.

I float on the water beneath me as the bonds around my limbs hold me and I’ve never been so calm. My body gives itself to Enzo and my arousal soars, taking me higher than I’ve ever known.

I’m bound, but I’m free.

I’m held down, but he’s letting me fly.

I have no control, and he’s in command.

“Such a good girl,” Enzo says. My insides flip, and I crave more praise. “Do you want to come for me?”

I nod frantically and whimper.

The water pulses harder, faster, and its relentless pace is driving me wild. I’m grinding into it, tilting my pelvis and arching my back, staring up at Enzo as he watches and plays with his cock.

I’m getting close and he isn’t even touching me.

My heart pounds against my chest, and I plead for release.

Our eyes meet again and there’s not a fucking chance he’s going to let me escape without giving him what he wants. The arousal sweeping through me has me on the verge of orgasm and its heat is unbearable—but Enzo won’t let me come without permission twice.

And I’m going to have to ask nicely.

“Please, Daddy. I need to come again.”

“Are you going to behave?”

I nod frantically. “I’ll be good. I’ll be a good little slut for Daddy.”

Enzo strokes his cock and drags it over my stomach.

“Where should I fuck you, baby?”

I groan and try to spread my legs. “Wherever you want, Daddy.”

Enzo doesn’t wait and in an instant, his rock-hard cock replaces the water that’s fucking me. I gasp as he sinks into me and the sheer damn size of him is hard to take.

“You’re going to take this, Adi.”

I nod and arch my back, straining against the bondage restraining me. Every thrust is fucking perfect and Enzo isn’t holding back. He’s slow, deliberate and so damn hard it hurts and the pain sets my body on fire. I scream and plead and cry and beg, losing all sense of reason as I’m overwhelmed.

By him.

Sensations sweep through me and I shatter underneath him as his cock thrusts into me and the smack of our bodies connecting sounds out. Enzo’s pace quickens and his breathing becomes erratic.

Our orgasms explode through us, and the stars above us explode, bursting like a supernova. Ecstasy turns to bliss and my body convulses as it burns hotter than any sun, and Enzo roars, coming hard as he crashes inside me.

Enzo drops his chest and wraps his arms around my back, lifting me out of the water. He pulls me against his chest, still impaled on his cock, and kisses me until he’s stolen all my breath and left me gasping.

He carries me out of the lake and I cling to him, dead weight.

“Aren’t you going to…”

Enzo lets my head roll back and he grins.

“No, it’s staying in all night long,” he says. “Go to sleep now, baby.”

“But…”

Enzo’s stride falters and I drop my head onto his shoulder.

“Please don’t hurt me,” I whisper.

I’m begging him for something he won’t understand. For something more than he can give. For reciprocation . Enzo can hurt me more than I’d like and he doesn’t come close to sharing my feelings for him. He’s incapable of them and he’s claimed my heart without even trying. And my treacherous heart’s decided it belongs to him and it’s beaten my head, sealing my fate.

I lost myself when I made this deal and I gave myself away a second time when I didn’t protect myself. Enzo’s claimed more than I should have ever given and now I’m damned if I don’t stay with him. If I don’t try to make this madness work.

My eyes close, and the familiar darkness of sleep draws around me. I sink into it as the warmth of my climax and Enzo’s arms lull me into its embrace, and my exhaustion takes hold.

“I won’t,” he whispers and I sleep, contented.
