His light in the dark [bxb]

Chapter - 09

MATED

Raya felt his neck go numb for a second as Lixian bit down, a whimper leaving his lips when it stung painfully, his skin burning up like it was on fire, so hot. After a few seconds, he could feel the wound slowly cool down again and leave a trail of tingles down his body. Raya hummed in delight, but winched slightly when Lixian finally let go. His demon teeth retracing.

A warm, wet tongue licked his wound clean and caused him to shudder with a small moan, making him flush red in embarrassment. The demon underneath him chuckled when seeing his human so shy and nuzzled his cheek with his nose, inhaling that addictive scent of his.

"I never knew you felt the same way." Raya softly mumbled, enjoying the gentle touches of his demon.

Lixian hummed at that, slowly making a trail of butterfly kissed down his human's throat. "I wasn't sure, but I couldn't hold myself back anymore."

"Was I that obvious?" Raya asked, a little embarrassed.

"No." Lixian smirked, leaning away so he could lock eyes. "But I hoped... And the last couple of days were a turning point for me, I guess."

"Turning point for what?"

Lixian blushed as he wrapped his arms around his mate's waist, pulling him closer. Their noses touching if they decided to move while they ogled each other. "That I wanted to have you for myself." He whispered.

Raya chuckled, his own cheeks and neck turning a shade darker as he flushed red. "Well, you have me." He joked.

A low rumble let the human know Lixian was very happy with that fact, making him softly giggle and hide his face into the creature his shoulder. "That sound it new, is it a demon thing?"

"Kind of, werewolves and lion shifters can make a sound like that too." Lixian explained, his wet tongue slowly lapping the wound again.

Raya hummed and closed his eyes contently, feeling himself slowly doze off. "For how long... did you fancy me?"

The demon frowned, not knowing the meaning of that word yet. "What does that mean?"

Raya breathed a chuckle, lips lazily placing a kiss on the demon's shoulder. "It means liking someone. I asked when you... knew you started liking me that way." The human explained.

"I-I um." The younger stuttered, his overheated cheek cooled down by the shoulder of his mate as he hid his face. "I think about two weeks ago, or something."

"Two weeks...—" Raya breathed, laughing quietly to himself.

Lixian hummed, smirking a little when his human cuddled closer to him, his arms wrapping themselves around his neck to feel his warmth. His wings fluttered at that, slightly closing in on them to protect their bodies even further. Feeling protective of his newfound mate.

"I love your wings." Raya mumbled against his neck, his eyelids slowly losing control of staying open as he felt the effect of the mark take over. "They're so pretty."

"You are pretty."

The human chuckled, closing his eyes when he couldn't keep them open anymore. "I'm... really tired." He yawned.

"It's ok." Lixian whispered, feeling his demon once again coming forward as his mate slowly fell limp against him. "I'll be here."
