Chapter 15 Zane
Zane
My little witch looked positively edible in her cute cotton shorts and tee. I saw the way she avoided looking at me as she crawled into bed with the bear. He threw me a smug grin because he thought he’d won our little game, but I was only biding my time.
I didn’t need sex magic to woo my mate. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her, and despite the bear’s bullshit request that I give her time to get used to more than one mate, I had no intention of sleeping on the sofa.
Thanks to a horny human and his girlfriend, I’d taken the edge off the magic void in my chest earlier. A bit of lust sent their way had resulted in a feverish fuck in the bar’s bathroom. Not much of a magic boost because the asshole lasted less than a minute, but better than nothing.
The one shifter I spotted seemed morose rather than horny, so I gave him a wide berth. No sense in provoking a bar fight if it put my pet at risk. I was reckless, not dumb.
The fire died down as I lay on my back, my hands resting on my stomach. The bear was still awake. I heard him sigh a few times as Raven snuggled closer. The poor fuck was probably horny.
I smirked as I surreptitiously sent a small zap of lust magic his way. Not because he needed any assistance, no male would around our sexy little mate, but to make it harder for him to say no to what I had planned.
All males had a tipping point. Push them to the edge, and lust invariably took over.
As an incubus, I was an expert at inciting lust while removing inhibitions. Most beings could resist only so long before they caved.
The bear groaned as he shifted under the covers. I snorted to myself. The poor bastard was probably in pain.
“Stop fucking with me,” he growled, careful to keep his voice low so he didn’t disturb our mate, who’d finally fallen asleep.
“I’m not doing anything,” I said. “Not my fault if you’re horny.”
From his annoyed huff, he didn’t believe me, but such was the life of an incubus. Everyone assumed I was the reason they did dumb shit, like fucking the one person they were not supposed to fuck.
But while I might have put the idea in their head, they were the ones who acted on it.
Raven moaned softly in her sleep. Waves of lust washed over me. I closed my eyes while reaching into my pants to fist my cock.
She was dreaming about me.
My power let me enter her dreams, but I hadn’t attempted to do that with her yet. Dream walking was invasive, and I had a feeling she wouldn’t want me in her head while she slept.
The one time I’d almost caved was when I arrived in her room to find her locked in a dream that was more than a dream. She’d admitted then to visiting the vampire in her sleep.
Maverick swore under his breath as my pet rubbed against him, seeking relief from the need flooding her body.
“Is she wet?” Of course she was. Unlike a shifter, I couldn’t scent her arousal from this far away, but I could sense how badly she wanted us to touch her.
“Fuck off. I’m not touching her with you in the room. Besides, she’s fast asleep.”
“But she wants you to touch her,” I said, injecting a small amount of coercion into my voice. Not much. Just enough to lower his inhibitions. Goddess knew the bear needed to loosen the fuck up. “Can’t you smell how turned on she is?”
From his heartfelt groan, he could. I smirked while squeezing my shaft.
“She needs to come,” I continued. “My poor pet won’t sleep well if she’s this needy.”
“She’s asleep,” he gritted out, still resisting my magic. Fucking stubborn-ass bear.
“She’s dreaming about you.” Me too, but I didn’t mention that. Let the bear continue to pretend he was her only mate. He’d realize soon enough he needed to learn to share his toys.
“I’m sure she dreams about me every night,” he replied in a smug voice.
OK, I was done playing nice incubus.
I pushed out some more lust magic. Enough to tip the balance in my favor. Only it backfired. Instead of acting on his instincts, the stupid fucking bear slid out of bed and into the bathroom. Probably to jack off in the hope it took the edge off his arousal.
I lay still for a moment, soaking up the lust coming from him as he fucked his hand, then I moved off the sofa and onto the bed.
My pet lay on her side with her lips parted and her small fist locked between her thighs as she tried to sate her own lust. Needing to know what had her so turned on, I slid into her dream.
Only to realize I’d underestimated my sweet little witch.
