The Price of Exorcism by Dakota Brown (popular romance novels .TXT) 📕

"Suppose we should clean up then," I saidreluctantly.

"We still have a couple of hours," heobjected.

"Ahh. If you're up for more…" I teased him.

"Mmm, try me," he rumbled back.

"I just might."

"Good." He moved faster than I anticipated,rolling me onto my stomach and pinning me to the bed.

I yelped in surprise, then melted when he applied histeeth to my shoulder.

"Fuck," I moaned, quivering underneath him.

"Yeah, Mal is definitely getting some creditthere," he whispered.

I laughed, though it came out a little strangled as hebit me again. It occurred to me that I was likely now to have two bruises for afew days. Someone else was marking his territory, too.

"You are mine," he declared, voice a littleharsh. Ezra grabbed my hands and pulled them over my head. Before I knew it, theywere tied together with a leather strap and secured to the headboard. Damndemon tricks.

I pulled. They were tied tight, and a slight thrill offear ran through me.

"First lesson," he whispered in my ear. "Unbinding."

He jerked me back until my arms were pulled tight,then he pulled my hips up until my ass was in the air. He played his fingersover my hips and I shivered at the contrast of the cool air and his hot hands.

"You possess the ability to untie yourself fromnearly any binding, magical or physical. You're stuck with mine," hegrowled. "So don't even try it. But should anyone else try to bind you inany way, you can undo it."

He dragged his nails down my back and I arched, hissingat the mix of pleasure and pain that worked through me.

"Untie yourself, and I'll give you what you want."His fingers ghosted over my clit.

"What if I want to be tied up while you fuck me,"I protested, still a little worried about being restrained. Unlike with Mal, Iwasn't sure if Ezra knew the human rules of bondage, and right now I didn'tthink he was interested in following them.

"Is that what you want?"

"I…"

"Didn't think so. Untie yourself, and I'll makeyou come so hard you'll see literal stars. If I have to untie you, you'regetting a cold shower."

"Fucker," I muttered.

He chuckled. "I gave you the knowledge, look forit and use it." Then he started to tease me. Lightly touching then pullingaway, all the places I liked best, but only with the barest hints of pressure.

"You might have to do this while you're afraid.If you can handle it aroused, you can handle it afraid."

I muttered more curses, but he was right. I tugged atthe bonds again, and they just tightened. He really hadn't tied bondage knots,he'd tied me up like he really meant it.

Ezra smacked my ass. I yelped.

"Untie yourself. I want to feast on yourdelicious pussy again, then pound into you…"

"Ezra," I whined, cutting him off. "Can'tconcentrate."

He chuckled, but quieted though he didn't stop histeasing touches.

I reached inside myself and found a whole new well ofknowledge that hadn't been there before. It was strange, as if spells weresimply floating in a pool I needed to immerse myself in and then they wouldtruly become mine. Yet, I hesitated. This was demon magic. What would usingdemon magic do to me?

"You're in deep enough with demons already,Chris, that I don't think this is going to make a difference in the end,"Ezra answered my unasked question.

"That's not reassuring."

"It wasn't meant to be. If it makes you feel anybetter, you're still on the right side."

He gave my clit a much firmer stroke and I shivered athis touch.

"Untie yourself before you lose circulation. Iwant to fuck you, but I'm not going to let you get hurt trying to learn this."

"Don't want a cold shower?"

Ezra chuckled. "No, that's for you. I'll take anice warm one. Maybe I'll even make you watch as I pleasure myself."

I groaned.

"Payback is a bitch sometimes, isn't it," hesaid smugly.

"Fucker. I didn't make you watch."

"No, but it was impossible to ignore."

Grumbling, I sank back down into that well ofknowledge. I'd give Ezra one thing, he wasn't trying to sugarcoat what my demoninvolvement might mean for me in the future. Oh well, I hadn't expected to makeit to heaven, anyway. Taking a mental breath, I dove into the pool of demonmagic and wrapped it around myself, felt it burn through me, stretch those channelswhere I pulled magic, and sear them open.

It wasn't completely unpleasant, but it didn't exactlyfeel good, either. However, it had the desired effect. His gifted knowledgemelded into my mind and suddenly I understood how to untie those ropes. I knewthe words to speak, and understood the language, though it was one I'd neverspoken before.

I whispered the unbinding and the leather fell awayfrom my wrists.

"Good girl," Ezra whispered. Leaningforward, covering my body with his own, as he rubbed the circulation back intomy hands and arms. "Now, about that fucking. How do you want it?"

"You can read my mind, mate. Why don't you tellme?"

"Mmm, but I like to hear you say it."

"I…" caught off guard, words failed me for amoment. The combination of tender Ezra combined with demanding Ezra was really tweakingmy brain.

"Just like this, then. Eat me, then pound me intothe bed."

"As you desire." There his voice went alittle submissive again and I just couldn't wrap my brain around it. It wasgoing to take a lot of time to unravel the mystery that was Ezra in bed.

It didn't take long before he'd completely distractedme from my earlier thoughts. And seeing stars was a bit of an understatementwhen we finally crashed over into oblivion together.

It didn't escape my notice that Ezra held me tightlyas we both let sleep drag us under.

Chapter 10

Aaron

"Do you think she's okay?" I watched Mal workthrough a complicated sword form.

"Yes," Mal said shortly.

I knew he wasn't mad at me, but I still hoped I wasn'tbothering him by being here, or with my questions.

The vampire paused mid form and glanced at me. "I'mnot angry with you, Aaron and I'm very glad you're here. Teaching you gives mesomething to do to keep my mind off of things."

"Wait, are you reading minds now, too?"

Mal smiled and shook his head.
