Chapter 12
CHAPTER 12
A s she stood before Leviathan, her heart raced with exhilaration but also a fear that he would figure her out. His eyes, dark blue pools of intensity, bore into hers.
The simple words that escaped his lips carried a heavy weight of desire that left her breathless. She couldn’t believe he wanted her, a mere human among his kind. A surge of excitement dashed through her before a little voice reminded her she wasn’t the demon he thought she was, and her time was short.
Leviathan’s fingers trailed up her bare arm, leaving behind a trail of goosebumps in their wake that were almost invisible amongst her scales. He stopped his touches just short of her face, his presence overwhelming and intoxicating. A heady mix of smoke and desire enveloped her senses, clouding her mind and making her knees weak. His wings, a testament to his demonic heritage, fanned out behind him, casting them in a sensual darkness despite the flickering candles all around the ballroom.
Despite her better judgment, Ashe couldn’t tear her eyes from his. This was about her escape, but she couldn’t deny the way Leviathan’s body against hers sent her mind reeling with desire. His eyes were like the depths of the ocean, both beautiful and terrifying. In them, she saw the raging inferno of his need, and for a fleeting moment, she felt a thrill of power. She held his gaze, her heart hammering in her chest, and leaned in just a little closer.
“You belong to me.”
He smiled as her body responded like a woman in need, and her lips parted in slight shock at his declaration.
“You are completely and utterly mine. I will possess you until there is nothing left but memories in your mind.”
His lips trailed softly across her cheek, down her jawline to where her pulse hammered wildly at the base of her neck. He nipped at the delicate skin before placing a gentle kiss there, and Ashe could scarcely remember her goal had everything to do with his kiss for her escape, and not just her pleasure.
Ashe didn’t know how to reply, her tongue was thick and heavy in her mouth. Instead, she held his gaze, a dangerous spark in her own eyes.
Leviathan’s lips curved into a smirk. “Oh, this will be interesting,” he purred, one eyebrow arching in amusement. He leaned in, his mouth mere centimeters from hers. “But I thrive on a challenge.”
Ashe’s pulse raced, her heart threatening to leap out of her chest. Her breath caught in her throat as she waited for his next move. His lips brushed hers, featherlight, teasing, then his tongue flicked out to trace the line of her chin, and desire pooled in her core.
At that moment, the ball around them vanished. The lustful whispers and envious glances of the other demons melted away, leaving only the two of them lost in their own world. Leviathan’s grip on her waist tightened, pulling her impossibly close before grinding his hips against hers.
Ashe’s resolve crumbled like sand under a tidal wave. She melted into his arms, her hands tangling in his dark hair as if she could pull them closer together. The contact sent electricity shooting through her veins.
The music and flickering torches seemed to fade away until there was nothing left but the two of them, caught in a storm of passion and forbidden desire. Ashe’s worries and resentments melted away, consumed by the flames of lust and need that burned between them, and for a single, fleeting moment, she was herself in this demon disguise, living a life she’d never known she wanted.
Without a word, Leviathan’s hand intertwined with hers and he pulled her out of the room, leading her through the throngs of envious onlookers and out onto a balcony overlooking the demon city. The night air was cool and heavy with the scent of brimstone and desire.
Ashe’s heart pounded in her chest as she stared up at him, her breath coming in ragged gasps. “Leviathan. . . ” she began, unsure of what to say.
“So, you do know my name,” his lips played along her collarbone. “That is very good because you will scream it shortly”.
His growl was primal, and Ashe rubbed her legs together to hold off the pulsing promise he gave her.
Leviathan’s grip changed, moving from just one wrist to her waist. Without a word, he spun her around, slamming her against the cold marble wall of the balcony. His hands roamed her body, leaving a trail of fire in their wake, and Ashe arched into his touch.
Ashe’s body quivered with anticipation as she felt Leviathan’s hands slide up her thighs and grip her hips, pulling her close against him. She could feel his arousal pressed against her, and a surge of desire shot through her at the thought of being taken by this powerful demon.
Without warning, Leviathan’s fingers gripped the bottom of her gown, ripping it in his haste to remove it. Ashe gasped as the silky fabric fell away, leaving her exposed.
His arousal was a torment, pressed against the small of her back — a promise of the desire coursing through him. She didn’t know when he’d found the time to remove his pants, but he was staking a claim she would not resist if only he’d grant her his kiss.
While one finger worked over her swollen bud, the other roamed over her body, leaving trails of fire in their wake as they explored every curve and dip.
He seemed to sense exactly what she needed, driving her closer and closer to the edge before suddenly stopping. She whimpered, her hips thrusting to find the finger that was no longer there.
Her eyes opened to find Leviathan smirking down at her. “You’re not going anywhere,” he growled before spinning her back to face him.
She could see nothing but the actual glow of his eyes, bright with hunger for her.
A noise somehow penetrated her haze, drawing her gaze around him.
The realm below them burned with envy for what they could see. It was a never-ending kaleidoscope of sin and depravity, but in that moment, Ashe wanted their envy. She lost herself in the sensations, the allure of his power, and his world becoming inextricably entwined with the growing fire between her legs.
“It’s powerful, is it not?” Leviathan took the head of his cock in his hands, drawing her gaze to it.
Her gasp was muted by a low moan as she stroked his length. It surpassed her expectations, larger than her hand could close around. And it was far more than any human could compare to. The skin was almost woven, like silk ropes running up and down his dick, highlighting every ridge and vein, promising more sensations than she’d ever experienced. She couldn’t help but think of the strength and power it symbolized, pulsing with life and ready to take her on a journey unlike any other.
“I meant my realm, their eyes on us. But the way you’re looking at my cock,” he shuddered, his wings moving as well. “I’m going to make sure no other will ever make you feel the way I can— the way you make me feel.”
Ashe should have been repulsed, should have fought him off, but his words only stoked the flames of her desire higher.
Leviathan’s hands roamed her body, leaving trails of fire in their wake, as if he was determined to claim every inch of her. His lips trailed down her neck, along her collarbone, and lower still, sending shivers down her spine. His fangs grazed her skin, the delicious scratch sending a shudder through her body.
Leviathan’s muscular arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her effortlessly as he pressed her against the balcony rail. She could feel his hot breath on her neck as he entered her in one swift, fluid motion. A low growl escaped from his lips as their bodies moved together in perfect sync.
Ashe’s world shattered into a kaleidoscope of stars as the pleasure consumed her. She clawed at the marble railing, trying to find something to hold on to as she arched her back and met his every thrust with equal intensity.
She moaned as Leviathan’s hips pistoned into her, driving her toward an edge she couldn’t control. Every thrust drew sounds of her desire to her ears. Ashe’s breasts pressed against his chest with every thrust, a small pain that she seemed to enjoy.
This was like nothing she had ever experienced before. The way he moved, his strong thighs meeting hers, they were in a rhythm that was pure magic.
His hands gripped her hips tightly, holding her in place as he took what he wanted from her. Their bodies merged into one fluid motion, and she couldn’t help but squeeze him tighter. Their breaths mingled together, panting and heavy with desire. She bit down on her lip hard to stifle her cries of pleasure as he continued to fuck her, the ropes of skin around his shaft sending wave after wave of ecstasy through Ashe as she pressed her back against the cold marble rail.
Ashe felt it then. The small hum of powerful magic every time he thrust into her.
Leviathan’s hips pumped faster, harder, driving deeper inside her with every thrust as his hands gripped her waist tightly. His sharp nails left crescents in her skin, yet it only added to the exquisite pain that was slowly overtaking her mind. Their bodies slapped together in a rhythm as spellbinding as the music earlier.
Leviathan’s thrusts became harder, faster, deeper, punctuated by muffled grunts that vibrated against her neck as he took her from behind. He bit down on her shoulder, leaving a mark that pulsed with his lust and possession, and she moaned in response. The railing dug painfully into her back, but it only heightened the sensation. His fingers dug into her hips, pulling her close to him and pushing her further onto the edge of the rail. His wings flapped restlessly behind them, casting ominous shadows on the wall as they swayed together in rhythm to their primal dance.
His tongue traced a line down her throat, tasting the sweet sweat that had gathered there as he claimed every inch of her flesh. Every stroke of his cock inside her was filled with an urgency that matched his own heartbeat drumming against her back. She could smell his desire, a heady mix of smoke and lust that made it impossible for her not to give in to the forbidden pleasure coursing through her veins.
Her body tensed and then snapped like a rubber band releasing all of its stored desire. It flooded through her, a powerful surge of heat and longing. His name escaped her lips with a raspy scream, the sound echoing through the empty room. Her breath came in short gasps, her heart pounding with an intensity she had never felt before. Every nerve in her body was alive with pleasure and need, his touch igniting a wildfire within her.
Stars spun behind her closed eyes as the most intense orgasm she’d ever experienced continued to rush through her.
Suddenly, Leviathan’s weight was gone, but his hand gripped her shoulder and turned her over the edge of the railing. She gasped as he entered her again, filling her with electric pulses of ecstasy.
Ashe’s nails felt as if they left long gouges in the marble railing as her body wrapped around it, safe with him holding her hips to his thrusting body. She could hear the night beyond them - distant laughter and whispers fading into nothingness as they lost themselves in each other’s world.
Each powerful stroke sent shockwaves through Ashe’s core, making it pulse around him greedily. Yet even amidst this intense intimacy, there remained an undercurrent of danger, she felt him pushing boundaries she didn’t even know existed until now.
The night sky served as an ethereal backdrop for their feral dance. The stars twinkled like diamonds against the darkness, casting shadows on their intertwined figures. Every time he pulled out slightly and then pushed back in again it sent chills down her spine before igniting a new wave of passion deep within her core. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she arched her back further into each piercing thrust—wanting more than she ever thought possible from this demon prince.
Leviathan’s thrusts sped up, their pace becoming almost frenzied as he chased his own release. Ashe’s eyes opened with the slam of his hand against the railing beside her face. Sweat glistened on his pale hands.
Her fingers tangled in his pale hair as he trailed kisses down her neck, his breath hot against her skin. She moaned as she felt him hit that perfect spot inside of her, sending sparks of pleasure through her whole being.
Their bodies moved together in perfect rhythm, each thrust driving them closer and closer to the edge. Ashe had never felt anything like this before—it was like they were made for each other. In this moment, she didn’t care about the consequences or the dangers that came with being with a creature like Leviathan. All she wanted was him.
Ashe arched her back and let out a cry as she found herself riding a second orgasm, waves of pleasure crashing over her again and again. She could feel Leviathan’s body tense up before he finally climaxed too, releasing himself inside of her with a loud groan.
They collapsed onto the balcony floor together, their bodies entwined as they caught their breaths. For a moment, there was only silence between them as they tried to process what had just happened.
Finally, Leviathan spoke in a low voice that sent shivers down Ashe’s spine. “You are even more intoxicating than I could have imagined,” he said, brushing a hand through her hair.
Ashe turned to look at him and saw something different in his eyes - something softer than the usual intensity and hunger she had seen before. At this moment, it seemed like he actually cared for her.
But before she could speak or even process it fully, Leviathan’s expression changed back to its usual stoicism, and he pulled away from her abruptly.
The stoic look jolted her, a reminder of the demon—not human—she’d just let fuck her. Ashe’s fingers traced over her lips, and it was only then that she realized he’d not once kissed her.
