ChapterTwenty-Seven
SUNDAY
Noah’s fingers tightened in mine as we approached the doors ofIniquity, the bass thumping through the walls. It was nearing the witching hour, the prime time for creatures of the night to come out and play. “Iniquity? Really? I thought we were going to need something more... private.”
“This is as private as it gets. Trust me.” His smooth voice with that posh accent brushed over me like velvet, and I leaned against him in response. “You’ve only seen the surface level of this place. It’s a whole new world downstairs.”
“If you’ve brought me to some sort of sex dungeon for our first time together, I might like it too much, and then what are you going to do? What if this is the only thing that does it for me?”
“I’ll give you whatever it is you need, dove. Wherever you need it.”
Heat unfurled within me, the words and his dark voice weaving the same seductive spell as his lips or hands on my body. I wanted everything he promised and more. Right the hell now.
“Do you trust me?”
“I’ve been told to never trust a vampire.”
“I’m not asking you to trust any vampire. I’m asking if you trustme.”
Taking a deep breath, I stared into molten amber eyes and knew he was telling the truth. I did trust him. “Lead the way.”
He took me by the hand, lifting it to his mouth and pressing a kiss between my knuckles. Before pulling away, his tongue flicked the tender flesh where my index and middle fingers met. The action, while perfectly innocuous, left absolutely zero doubt about his intentions. The caress shot straight between my legs, and I gasped as my clit pulsed with need. I was on fire for this man, and he’d barely touched me. What would happen when he was inside me?
We walked through the doors, the air in the club heavy with the energy of the many powerful occupants. Witches, shifters, even some fae. All of them stretched their magic freely here. It was a safe space—except for that one time a hunter tried to kill me.
“Are we going to dance?” I asked.
“Not on the dance floor. I planned on a different kind of dance tonight.”
I shivered with longing, already so aroused my thighs were slick, and I was regretting changing into a dress before we left the school.
We’d only navigated halfway around the dance floor when we were intercepted by a Bettie Page look-alike. Complete with a sexy leather corset dress, fishnets, and a whip.
“Why, Mr. Blackthorne, what a surprise.” She turned her blue eyes my way, her nostrils flaring slightly before a wide smile stretched across scarlet lips. “Ah, Ms. Fallon. I’ve heard so much about you.”
“You have?” I asked, blinking away an unexpected wave of lust as her eyes swept down my body.
“Sunday, this is Lilith, the owner ofIniquity.”
The crazy heightened lust fog hadn’t cleared; every word from Noah made my thighs clench. He must’ve sensed the change in my body because his eyes darkened, and he let out a low growl.
Lilith laughed. “Seems like you two are in need of a room. Any special requests?”
“Room? Like... a sex room?”
She had to be a demon. The scent of brimstone tickled my nose as she looked at me, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Oh, sweetheart. You have no idea, do you? I createdIniquityso that supernaturals could be free to explore their deepest desires in a safe and completely non-judgmental space. Here, sin isn’t only allowed, it’s encouraged.” She winked, sending a bolt of lust spearing through me. “If you’ll allow me...”
She reached out with black-tipped fingers and ran her hands down my shoulders and over my arms, sending tingles sparking across my skin until she finally wove our fingers together.
“Let me give you what you need. After all, your first time should be special.”
My heart raced as the demon leaned close and pressed her lips to mine, inhaling deeply. It was just the barest touch, and yet sensation rolled through me, starting in my mouth and washing through my veins in a warm, soothing rush. When she backed away, I swayed on my feet, a state of euphoria enveloping me. It reminded me of the deep relaxation I felt after a massage.
“Ah, the gray room, I think. It will meet every desire the two of you share, and some you may not yet realize exist.”
“I’m sure it will be perfect,” Noah said, a secret smile playing about his mouth. “Thank you, Lilith.”
Lilith didn’t even glance his way, her eyes remaining trained on mine. “The pleasure will be entirely yours, Sunday.”
