BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2
Chapter 4 – Taste Her & Move On
LUCIUS.
“I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath.” I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the
number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be ufortable already.
I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having andslide tonight.
“And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know
you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk.”
“I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk.”
“Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too rxed for a king?”
“Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that
you put to work on your behalf.”
“So you have hundreds of trusted men?”
“Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead
because he trusted me.”
“And tell me why I should trust you after you said that?”
“First and foremost, because you are human, a witch. Not a demon. I don’t trust a demon, but I trust a
shifter, a half-demon, and maybe I can add a witch to the mix. So I demand to be trusted back.” She
rolled her eyes at me as she sat on the single sofa across the room but directly in front of me. It didn’t
escape my notice how her mouth twitched before she let out a full smile. “Demanding…”
“And I’d been making you smile the whole night, it means you’re slowly trusting the demon in front of
you.”
“You wish…”
“Come on, Patrea. Let me stay, and we can move on from this topic and focus on what to do next.”
“You’re impatient, aren’t you?”
I was about to answer her when an annoying voice reached my head. ‘Are you here? I can feel your
aura.
“Stone connected with me. Give me a moment.” I told Patrea, and she nodded her head before she
went to her bathroom.
‘In Patrea’s room.’ I answered him, leaning my back against the soft cushion and extending my legs in
a rxed position.
‘Aren’t you going too fast?’
‘Are you mocking me? This was too slow already.’ ‘I know. Just reminding you not to force her.’
‘Yeah, take it from someone who bought a female to fuck.’
‘Fuckyou.’ He cursed, but he was chuckling.
‘No, thanks. I’ll let Lucija fuck you. I prefer Patrea.’
This past few months, I had let him know that I was craving the witch without letting him know I was
stalking her, but I guess he was smart enough to realize I was doing it.
Hisughter filled my head before he threw another sarcastic remark. ‘At least one of us is gettingid
tonight. And I’m sure it’s not you.’
‘Get lost…’ ‘Good luck, brother. In case you need a bathroom to jerk off, the room beside hers is
vacant. Use it. Unlike in the underworld, I prefer privacy in my packhouse.’ He replied before shutting
off the mindlink.
If he hadn’t shut off his mind, I would have retorted back.
Privacy?
What did he mean by privacy when I’d seen him and Lucija fucked in nearly every corner of this
packhouse? I wasn’t stalking them, but every time I wanted to check on Luther, I would end up seeing
the ces they were fucking each other. I was sure the hallway, or the main stairs, for example, were
not private ces.
“I will just check on Althea and tell her not toe here to check on me tonight.” Patrea’s words
snapped me from my thoughts, and I saw her already on her way to the door.
“Scared she will see us having sex?” I teased.
Sheughed heartily, and it was like music to my ears. I was enjoying that she was taking this teasing
lightly instead of snapping at me as she used to.
She turned around slowly, and the warm smile on her face just took my breath away.
I had always been fascinated with females and the beauty they possessed, but I couldn’t remember
getting stuck in a female for this long. Maybe because I hadn’t had my fill of her.
Yes. Taste her and move on.
“Concern that she might see you and start attacking you.” She said.
“If that ever happens, it’s not my fault if one of us ends up dead.”
She hissed as the smile was wiped off her face before her eyes squinted. “Touch Althea, and I’ll be
your worst enemy.”
“Why the fuck do those words arouse me? Not the touch Althea, but having you for an enemy.”
“You’re fucked up, Lucius.”
“I know that. Now go, ande back here as fast as you can or I might scare Althea if I popped up in
her room.”
“I forbid you to pop up anywhere near Althea, especially if she’s alone!” Her voice was slightly higher,
and I could feel her annoyance.

“Is that jealousy I detect? Scared I might let my wandering eyes fall on your granddaughter?” I was not
even done with my words when a spark of green lights headed my way, and the next thing I knew, the
couch I was sitting on had a little burn on it while my body floated above it, still in a sitting position.
“Damn, Patrea! I was just kidding. If I fancy Althea, I would have gone directly to her. Besides, another
Alpha is drooling on her, I’m done with dealing with Alphas. Stone is fucking too much to handle
already.”
“It still doesn’t guarantee me you’re not going after her.”
“I’m after the grandmother…”
“Demons never cared about families. I want your word, Lucius. Not Althea.”
“Even if I don’t give you my word, I know I would not go after her. So stop pushing that idea into my
head.”
“Your word, Lucius!”
“I want you, Patrea! Not Althea, and not any other females around you. But fine, you have my demon
word, I will never touch Althea or even think of filthy things about her.” I let out a deep breath. ”
Satisfied?”
She didn’t answer but instead opened the bedroom door and mmed it as she exited her room.
Fucking females. You give in to what they want, and they’re still upset? Fuck that. I didn’t have time for
this game.
I hissed, my eyes zing red before I disappeared from her room.
PATREA.
After I talked with Althea, I went back to my room only to find Lucius gone. He probably didn’t like the
way I was demanding of him. I knew it shouldn’t bother me, but it made me wonder if I went overboard
this time when he just wanted to help me.
But then it’s toote to regret that.
I stepped out of the bathroom in my pajamas after I showered. I had sexier lingerie with me, but a part
of me was hoping he woulde back and stay the night as he originally wanted to, and this nightwear
I had was more appropriate as I didn’t want him to think I was seducing him.
But then he was still not here.
I let out a sigh and walked toward the bed. I was about to reach for my nket when someone spoke
from behind me, making my body jolt in surprise. “Pajamas? For real? Nothing that would show a little
skin?” Lucius’ voice came around, and since I wasn’t expecting it, goosebumps rose from my skin as
shivers went down my spine.
I turned around and saw him standing by the corner, floating in the air with his arms crossed. I
wondered if he enjoyed looking at me from above. “I thought you left?” I asked before I felt air on my
skin.
My head tipped down, and a gasp escaped my throat when I saw myself d in short, red silk spaghetti
strap lingerie that showed the curve of my waist and hips.
“I just went to check on Luther. Missed me?”
“What have you done to my clothes? Put it back!” “I can’t touch you, at least give me something to look
at.”
“Lucius!” I red at him. And then I felt something heavy.
He changed the lingerie into a long, cotton nightdress that covered every inch of my body from my neck
down to my heels. If I were not the victim, I would surelyugh about it.
“Better?” He asked, a mocking smile stered on his face as hended on his feet and made his way
to my bed.
I saw his clothes change into a white shirt and grey sweatpants, and despite having only his arms
visible, he looked really sexy. Or perhaps I said this because it was the first time I had ever seen him
wearing sweatpants.
And now I felt so inappropriate in this ugly-looking nightdress he put on me.
“Are you done gloating over my body? Can I slip inside the nket now?” He winked at me before he
pulled over the nket.
“Who said you’reying down beside me?”
“Me.”
My eyes rounded. “Wow.”
“I’m not going to touch you. I will justy down, or would you rather that I sit there by the couch and
stare at you all night?” He chuckled as he slipped inside the sheets.
Well, he’s right. Better somewhere I couldn’t see him directly.
“Can you change my nightwear? This is really weird. It’s too warm.”
“You want your pajamas back?” He asked in a monotone voice, but I saw the way his mouth twitched
as if he wanted tough.
“No… The one after that. I’m morefortable with it.” I felt my cheeks burning and my heart thudding
loudly until I saw Lucius swallow, as if my choice overwhelmed him.
I yanked the nket onto my side, slipped in, and pulled it up to my throat. “Now you can change me
back into that silk nightdress.”
I didn’t want him to think I wanted the sexier lingerie because of him. But it was morefortable to
sleep with.
“There. Better?” He asked as he ced his hands on the back of his head and leaned back on the
headboard.
I checked my clothes under the nket before I nodded my head. “Are you going to stay like that the
whole night?”
“Hmmm…” He answered, but with his eyes closed. I turned to my sides, facing him, and anchored my
elbow to the bed. I lifted my upper body to rest my cheek on my palm so I could look at him better.
“I don’t think I’ve seen you in your demon form. What do you look like?”
