Revealing the Monster (Playing with Monsters #4) by Amelia Hutchins

“Do you see how easy it is for me to keep you? How easily I control you? I didn’t kill your family, Magdalena; I just didn’t stop it from happening. I have never been the good guy. You keep trying to make me into your hero, and I’m not. I don’t care about your world or the humans you are hell-bent on saving.” He leaned down, slowly licking through the arousal building at my core. His deep, sultry growl almost had me begging him to fuck me. He had full command of my body, and the furies held the power of their need and mine.

“You’re not to remove that toy, and you’re not to come while I’m away. You can shower and listen to music while I’m working. If you push me, I will leave you like this until I have finished hunting down Lucifer, taking his daughter from him. I promised you Makenna would be safe. I intend to keep that promise. I vowed to keep you safe, and that nothing would happen to you. I never said the same for your family or coven. Never them, Magdalena,” he said coldly. “I don’t care about the humans because every living thing dies, eventually. You are immortal, and sooner or later, this outcome was inevitable for your bloodline.”

He moved closer between my legs, inspecting my aching pussy as it pulsed with the vibrations of the toy he’d pushed deep into my core. Lucian leaned over, sucking my swollen clit between his lips, roving over it with his tongue sluggishly.

I moaned loudly, unable to ignore the pleasure his kiss between my thighs gave me. Fingers slipped into my slit, and he made a strangled noise, as if my cunt were the most exquisite thing he’d ever tasted.

“Come for me, Lena. Come for me once before I watch the sinners in my club get fucked, knowing you’re inside my room, on my bed, being erotically tortured. Come on, sweet girl. Let me taste your arousal so that every time I imagine you tonight, I taste what is waiting for me when I return,” he murmured thickly, moving his fingers as he lifted his head, watching me trembling.

I arched for his kiss, needing his mouth back on my pussy. He didn’t help me. Instead, he allowed me to gyrate with the slow, unhurried movement to the pulsing ball that was humming inside my core. Whimpering, I closed my eyes, knowing he hated when I did so.

My lips parted on a gasp as pleasure washed through me. The short orgasm didn’t ease the need for him to fuck me. In fact, it only made me want it more. He laughed wickedly, knowing how it would affect me.

“Throughout tonight, I’ll increase the speed,” he said, holding up the remote, “So that you know I haven’t forgotten about you.” His hand rubbed over my stomach, grabbing the globe of my breast to squeeze it while he smirked. Leaning over, he clamped his teeth on my nipple, teasing the heated peak as he swirled his tongue around it, meeting my stare.

“Lucian,” I groaned, hating him and wanting him in the same breath.

“If you allow Lucifer to take you into his realm, I will punish you when I return tonight. You’re finished going to him. You wished to be part of my world, Lena. So fucking be in it and stop placing your human rules and laws on us. I’m not human, and neither are you anymore. I told you from the beginning that I wasn’t the good guy. I am the villain, and you knew that and still wanted me. You claimed me, not the furies. You took me to be yours or murder anyone else that I fuck. That was something you did on your own. You may not have understood what you were doing, but it doesn’t change that you did it.”

His lips brushed mine, and he smiled against my mouth. “Be good and take only one bath. I want to taste how wet you are for me when I come back here tonight and devour this cunt that belongs to me. You might consider adding some bath salt to your water. It will help ease the pain of me taking you again because I won’t be holding back when I return. I intend to fucking destroy you until the image of you coming all over Spyder’s cock is removed from my mind, and I know you’re still mine.

“If I smell brimstone upon my return, I won’t remove the toy before I wreck your firm ass. I now know that you can accommodate me and it together and that you enjoy being stretched as the pain makes you scream and come. Would you like that, Lena? Would you like me to stretch you, destroying these tight holes that were fucked last night and you looking so fucking hot while it happened?”

“You’re an asshole,” I whimpered, and he smirked, shaking his dark head.

“Now you’re getting it.” Lucian kissed me softly, then pulled back, standing at the edge of the bed. “Spread your legs apart, lift your back, and wait for me to return. If you’re not in the bath, then I better find you like this waiting for me to decide when I’m ready to fuck you. This is how I will keep you if you try to run from me. Do you understand why I’m doing this?” he asked, never taking his eyes from mine.

“No,” I swallowed, answering honestly.

“Because our fates are tied together, now that we’re mated. If something happens to one of us, it will weaken the other, and if I were to weaken, it wouldn’t be just your world that suffered the consequences. It will be all the worlds connected to it. You chose this for us without ever considering the outcome. I’m responsible for more than just this world. If I grow weak, there wouldn’t be one world safe from the monsters that descended on it, destroying anything and everyone they touch.”

Lucian smoothed his hand down the side of my face, tipping my chin up, forcing me to meet his eyes. “I’ll see you in a few hours. Maybe after you’ve realized that you could have this,” he said, waving his hand over my prone body, “or the life I’ve offered you with the freedom to leave this room, you’ll behave for me. Don’t make me reveal who I truly am because that monster doesn’t care if you’re a mindless being as long as he can sate his endless hunger on you. To me, though, you’re the woman I would gladly destroy anyone and everything to protect. You should choose which version of me you want before I return tonight.”
