Chapter 20 #2
An array of vibrators, dildos, and stimulators were displayed on the racks in their many colors and styles.
She stared at them all with mouth slightly agape.
Catsper, who basically lived attached to Kendyll now, floated up to bat a paw at a brightly colored vibrator, and his ghostly energy immediately made the device turn on in its box, vibrating and shaking the container.
Kendyll’s face went beet red, and she quickly swatted at my chest. “Turn that off!”
Laughing, I waved a hand to comply with her command. She let out a sigh of relief when the aisle we stood in went silent once more, and she gave a warning look at the one-eyed cat. He moved on to a section across the store where clothing hung, and he became distracted by a feathered boa.
“We can get whatever you want and however many you want,” I told Kendyll. “Feel free to look at everything and see what piques your interest. If you have questions, just ask me.”
She narrowed her eyes on me. “When you said we were going shopping today, I didn’t expect you to mean this.”
“Gotta make sure my girl is taken care of,” I smiled shamelessly with a suggestive tilt of my head. “We’ll be going to other places, too. I’m taking you on an all day shopping spree to get whatever you want, something you didn’t take my offer on for your eighteenth birthday.”
“I don’t need—”
“I don’t give a shit if you think you don’t need it,” I cut her off.
“If you want it, tell me. You’ve never been able to ask for things you want.
Hell, I’m not even sure if you’ve ever thought to want something because you felt it was impossible to ask for anything.
So we’re changing that today. I don’t give a damn what it is.
If you see something you want to buy or something you want to do, tell me. I’ll make it happen.”
Her eyes softened while her lips tightened. She seemed to be wrestling with something she was feeling, but before I could search her gaze enough to figure it out, she looked down at her feet. Taking a deep breath, she straightened and studied the toys in front of us.
“I want something that feels good,” she announced.
Grinning, I observed the items with her. “All of these are meant to do that. It just depends on what you’re comfortable with at this stage. Does the idea of putting something inside make you nervous?”
There was no missing the glance she shot me before abruptly looking away. I sucked in a sharp breath and held it while she swallowed hard and shuffled away from me under the guise of looking for something.
That one look.
It was brief, so quick that if I was less perceptive, I would’ve missed it. Yet in that second, I caught sight of the lust. I caught sight of her immediate answer to my question. I caught how she’d looked at me.
Goddamn, I actually went weak in the knees. The idea that Kendyll wanted me inside …
“Fuck,” I hissed under my breath, stretching out the word the way I wanted to stretch her out.
I squeezed my eyes tightly shut and walked in the opposite direction as her.
I needed to calm down. I needed to get my now raging dick back under control.
I needed to get a grip, because if I didn’t, I wasn’t sure I could hold back from bulldozing right past slow and exploratory to full-on fucking her until she couldn’t remember how to say a name other than mine.
I stepped into a corner of the store that was out of view of the cameras or people’s eyes and whispered in my head, “Perseus. Need you. Now.”
Calling out to him through shadow-speak was an old method of talking for us demons. It was a sort of telepathic communication that allowed demons to speak to one another, regardless of where they were. I could’ve called him on the phone, but that would’ve taken too long.
Perseus appeared in front of me then, though he stayed hidden within the shadows so that anyone else around couldn’t see him.
The demon took in where he now stood. We were tucked away in a corner where massive silicone dildos hung around his head.
He frowned and raised a brow before fixing his black-and-red eyes on me.
“Are you trying to suggest something, Ruan Yitang?” Perseus queried calmly, though the use of my real name told me he was barely holding back his real emotions.
“Shh,” I hissed while staring hard at his face. “Don’t speak for a minute. Let me just look at you.”
I pressed my lips together and clenched my fists tightly while soaking in the sight of his face.
The Incubus eyes. The brows that were darker than his shoulder-length blond waves.
A sculpted jawline and perfect ridge of a nose.
The plump lips that were thinning with the passing seconds.
He opened that mouth so that I could see his two fanged canines.
He gave an alarmed look at the sex toys hanging around us, and that bronze face paled as his gaze caught the intense look in my own.
“Okay,” I finally sighed with a relieved nod. My shoulders relaxed, and the tension left my body. “Okay.”
“What the fuck is happening right now?” Perseus practically snarled.
“Sorry, sorry,” I waved a hand dismissively. “I just needed to stare at your ugly face to kill my insane hard-on.”
Perseus drew back like I’d greatly offended the sex demon. With a disgruntled huff, he shook his head. “You give me a headache.”
The Incubus left in a plume of shadows as quickly as he came.
My demanding desire for Kendyll had calmed down enough that I was able to return to the aisle she was in.
She squatted on the ground by Catsper, reading the back of a box, which held a simple purple vibrator.
I had to bite back a groan at the sight.
I was suddenly regretting choosing to come here.
I’m not gonna make it. I need reinforcements.
