Chereads / The Shadows Within Me / Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: A Demon’s Heart

Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: A Demon’s Heart

What started as a kiss to survive turned into so much more. I never thought I would ever feel the emotions stirring within me. After being screwed over so many times, I thought it was a gift taken away from me, but while being with this demon, it blossomed.

Tugging away from his lips, I gazed at Finn's blue eyes, only to trail my fingertips on his cheeks. It felt surreal how a demon was more human than most others I had met. I wanted to wash his pain away, much like he gave me this nirvana I currently found myself in.

It wasn't perfect, but it was my home. As the night was setting, we were still indulging in one another.

"You look like you want something. Tell me what it is, Sparky." He simpered, fixing my hair away from my face.

Every time he touched me, it was so gentle that I couldn't help but curl my lips upward. However, that smile soon became a smirk when a question filled my mind.

"Can I do it this time?" I asked, gazing at him straight on.

"Do what?" he countered, grinning too.

Oh, you know exactly what I'm asking for.

"Don't play coy with me." I huffed, grabbing onto his pants and prompting him to lean into me.

"You want to fuck me?" he chuckled, tugging off the cloak that was covering me.

I nodded, leaning into him again. "Yes, I do so very much."

His cheeks flushed red, even though his sharp smile didn't wash away.

"Oh, silly girl, you don't have to ask me. I'm willing to do anything you want." He assured me, making me shake my head.

However, I wanted something out of this, and this was the perfect lead.

"Finn… if you feed off our union. How will it feel?" I questioned, undoing his pants.

However, before I could get them off, he grabbed my hands.

"Oh, no, sweets. Let's not do that. I don't want you to lose your sanity." He sighed, shaking his head.

"It will make me a sex slave?" I mumbled, tilting my head.

His blue eyes squinted as his lips curled downward.

"Mhm, it'll make you lose your mind. It's why Gael only goes to brothels for his fill. I thought I told you." He informed, tugging me down onto his chest.

A soft hum left me while I rested on him, hearing the soft beat of his heart.

"Why didn't it happen to you?" I asked.

"Demons can't feed on one another. Did that worry you?" Finn chuckled, prompting me to pout.

He might've found it charming, but it was a serious concern to me. I wanted him to be satisfied every time we were together.

"N-No!" I stumbled, triggering him to sit up with me.

I was straddling him again.

"Cute… I didn't lie when I said you've been the best girl I've ever had and will ever have." He confessed, tugging my shirt off.

I never wore a bra underneath the thick shirts. Though, I didn't feel embarrassed as he did the same with his. Every time, he used magic to make it go through his wings.

"I don't know how to feel about that," I mumbled, shivering thanks to his fingertips trailing on my back.

"Well, don't worry, Sparks. I'll show you with my actions. I know words can be empty. Come, make love to me." He leaned back, letting me have the stage.

"Is it…" I trailed off, glancing off to the side.

The bracelet soon caught my eye, making me wince.

If you see this… how will you act? That's… if you haven't seen it already.

"It will be." He simpered, triggering butterflies to flutter in my belly.

"Well, get naked then. I want us to be skin to skin." I huffed before getting off him and taking off my pants.

"As you wish, Sparky." He chuckled.

When I gazed back at him, he was bare on the bed, allowing me to bask in his features. I reached for him only to be met by his hand, which dragged my eyes back onto his face.

"Are you sure my appearance doesn't scare you? I mean, I look humanoid, but…" He trailed off, referring to all the patches of feathers on his skin.

A soft giggle left me, "Does my body hair bother you?" I countered with my question.

In an instant, those blue eyes of his opened more expansive than I expected them to go.

Gosh, you're adorable, aren't you?

"What? No, why would it?" he scoffed, shaking his head.

A sharper cackle left me when his cheeks turned rosy.

I think you got it.

"You're beautiful, Sylvia." He breathed, watching me mount him.

I just wanted to bask in his warmth before I did anything else.

"Same goes for me, stupid king. You're more naïve than I thought." I smirked as he wrapped his hands around my waist before sitting up slightly.

"Are you going to fuck me silly now?" he murmured, trailing one of his hands to my navel.

"Hm, what if I just want to be naked with you?" I hummed, leaning into him.

His body heat was slipping into my core, something I enjoyed.

"We can do that too. Heck, anything you want, Sparky. Though, you'll have to give a minute to cool down." He sighed, dropping his hand down to my hips again.

You really are… too kind to me. Why not take me by force? You're a demon, and I'm tempting you.

"Oh? Do I have you on the edge?" I giggled, pressing my lips against his chest.

His member was rock rigid under me as it rubbed my vulva slightly with any movement.

"What do you think?" he licked his lips, followed by a quick thrust of his hips, making me whimper.

It was only a slight rub, yet it left me wanting much more. The way the heat from his penile radiated into me was almost torturous.

Is this… how you're feeling?

I bit my lip, trying to stay steady. "I think I'm tempting you too much."

All of this was still so new to me, but his warmth was something I had become accustomed to before we even fucked.

A soft smile rose on his lips. "You're right. I feel like I might lose my mind at any minute, but I won't do anything you don't want me to do. Even if it drives me crazy."

Finn, I want you to get addicted to me. So, you can't live without me, much like I can't think of a life without you anymore. No… I can… I just don't want to.

"Aren't you the demon king? Shouldn't you be able to do everything you want?" I huffed, trailing my hands down his chest.

I wanted to know every one of his features—especially the scar on his belly.

It must've hurt so much. I'm sorry…

A soft hum came from his lips. "My queen's the one person who'll outrule me in everything."

I shook my head, grabbing onto his hair with both my hands. "Unless you're a raging dragon, I don't think anyone can outlast you there."

His eyes twitched. "Oi—" he started, only to stop when my lips found his.

Swaying my hips caused me to rub him on my vulva as his eyes opened wide before deepening the kiss. His tongue tangoed with my dominance as my hips didn't stop their movements. Saliva dropped down my chin as my grip on his hair tightened.

My head felt light with every moment our lips remained locked. Finn only drew away from my lips to let me breathe more freely. Even though my lungs couldn't fill fast enough, I didn't stop rocking my hips.

Trailing kisses down my neck, he stopped, releasing a heavy sigh. "My sanity's waving, Sparky. I want to be in you so fucking much."

Huffing for air, I smirked, leaning my lips against his ear. "Why don't you? Aren't you the demon king?"

Before I knew it, I was against the bed as Finn radiated a sharp blue color from his body. It was the first time I had seen that color come from him.

"Oh, sweetheart, you keep playing with fire, but then again, you don't fear me at all?" he chuckled, licking my neck.

"Should I?" I mumbled, enjoying the feeling of him being in control.

His wings were spread wide, covering the sides of the bed. I couldn't even see Solas anymore because of how puffed they were. However, his tail was wrapped around my waist.

"I want to say you don't, but that would be a lie." He warned, eyes glowing brightly.

If it isn't anger that was surging through you, then… Can I believe it's something else?

"Well, it's a good thing. I don't have a sense of danger," I smirked, reaching to touch his face.

"That isn't a good thing, Sparks." He growled, pushing himself into me.

However, before he went all the way, he drew me up back on him while he sat on the bed. It was like he remembered I wanted the lead—something he was struggling to give me, and I didn't mind.

I loved to see him wrestle with his desire to have me.

Surely, that can't be a trick.

Cupping his cheeks, I softly simpered before leaning into his lips. There, I was met by his tongue glazing over mine. I quickly allowed him in before letting myself drop on him, prompting a soft mewl to leave my lips as a groan left his.

However, he didn't stop kissing me even when he felt me coil around his member tightly. No, his tongue explored my mouth, making sure to leave everything radiating with his warmth. Drawing away from him, I watched him bite his lip before trailing his eyes down to our intimate union.

"Make love to me, Sylvia," Finn murmured.

Is it love?

His cheeks were flushed as his voice was full of anticipation. Clasping onto his shoulder, I softly rocked my hips to a steady pace, triggering a soft chuckle to leave him as he winced in pleasure. Even though it was my first time doing this, he appeared to enjoy it.

Leaning into me, he licked my neck before suddenly letting himself fall on the bed. The motion dragged me down, leaving my soft lumps to brush against his chest every time I moved. His hands were lightly against my hips, letting me buck my hips freely.

His wings spread wide on the bed again as the red feather tips turned purple. However, my gaze was quickly dragged back onto his face when a moan left him. He usually was more quiet when we were together, yet he was letting me know how much he was feeling it.

I wasn't the best girl he ever had, but he enjoyed me, that much I could tell, and it was all I needed. Feeling more confident, I continued to sway my hips as best I could, feeling him fill me with each pass.

It wasn't long before my body began to feel the tightening of the knot within my core. The closer the tingling got, the more sluggish my movements became.

A soft smirk rose on his lips. "Are you going to cum, sweets?"

"I-I don't know!" I mumbled, feeling flustered by his question.

"I feel you tightening on me, and you're slowing down. Do you need help?" he didn't back down.

"No! S-stay still!" I huffed, trying to keep up, but I was sluggish.

A soft sigh left him. "Okay."

He probably didn't mean it the wrong way, but his slight frustration caused me to halt myself.

I probably am not…

"Sorry… I'm not good enough." I mumbled, gazing away from those blue orbs of his.

Lillia had said she rode him that night. I probably was nothing in comparison.

"What?" he breathed.

I refused to glance back at him, though. My negative thoughts quickly drowned me whenever they emerged. It was like I was standing in a thread where it could give at any moment.

"Sylvia… look at me." Finn's voice was softer than at any other time.

"No…" I closed my eyes.

I was probably being annoying and uncooperative, yet…

"Oh, sweets…" he sat up, bringing me up too.

However, my eyes remained against the sheets below us.

"You're more than I deserve." He murmured into my ear.

It sent shivers running down my spine, as resisting this demon was impossible for me. Hesitating a little, I slowly shifted my gaze to him. A soft smile on his lips was waiting for me.

"Nothing about you is a monster, is it?" I sighed, giving in to him.

"I don't know what you mean." He cocked his head.

However, the smile had turned into a soft smirk on his lips.

"I suck at it. So, fuck me instead." I huffed, wrapping my hands around his neck.

"How about we do it together?" he asked, burning my cheeks hotter.

"What?" I mumbled.

Instead of answering me, he bucked his hips into me, making me gasp at the unexpected action.

"Move with me, Sparks. Make love to me like I do to you." He simpered, not stopping his soft thrust.

It was nothing like the ones he usually dished out when in control. A hum left me before I started to sway my hips, too.

"Oh, baby girl, I love this." Finn breathed, leaning into my neck.

Before I knew it, his tongue lapped my nape, making me whine.

Ah… I don't want to stop.

Grabbing onto his hair, I pulled myself closer towards him. Again, the knot started to form, and it wasn't long until I pushed Finn to fall onto the bed. Of course, he let himself drop, only to feel me grind on him vigorously.

A soft, nervous chuckle left him, feeling him thrust from below me while I sought my release. However, his expression was something else to be seen.

"Damn it! Why are you so handsome?!" I mewled, unable to keep my eyes off him.

Though, my hips were unstoppable. My hands held me up as I ground myself into him vigorously.

"Hush, fuck me more. Take me deeper into your womb, where I…" He huffed, lifting himself to clash his lips with mine.

Grabbing onto my hips, he shoved himself into me. His tail wrapped around my right arm, tugging it behind me. The sudden fill made me reach my peak, triggering me to tremble on him. At the same time, I felt him twitch within me, prompting me to ride the high along with him.

Soft groans left the demon king panting against my chest as my world flickered. His sharp horn tips were less crimson, as a purple hue consumed all red.

Huh? Why… are they…

Slowly, I let go of his hair only to reach for one of his horns. However, before I could touch it, he drew away from my chest, gazing at me.

"Sparky, I'm going to get addicted to you." He chuckled, glancing at me gently.

"Is that good?" I struggled to catch my breath.

"Hm, if you want me to be with you for an eternity. Yes, it is. I didn't know sex could feel this good." He smirked, leaning towards my lips.

"Does that mean I'm winning your heart?" I asked, stopping him from kissing me.

Instead, he grabbed onto my hand, pulling it to his chest. His heart was racing just like mine—something I found surprising yet alluring.

"Oh, sweets, this demon's heart is yours to do with as you wish. I've never felt this way before. It's… different than anything else I've felt." He confessed.

My eyes widened as a soft light came from where the bracelet was. It was evolving, much like our emotions.

What it shows, I don't know.

All I could do was hide it from the demon who was too immersed in me to care how the jewel was starting to blossom.

Is all of this real? Can I really believe someone will love me?
