Demonic Temptation

Chapter 18

We laid in bed, my head on his chest. I went to get up to go to the bathing chamber but he growled and pulled me back. I rolled my eyes, "I need to pee." He grumbled and let me up. After I was done I had barely stepped out of the bathing chamber when he had me pinned to the wall, his lips on mine.

I was drenched instantly. He lifted me up, sliding into me. He pounded into me, my moans loudly echoing throughout the room. Pictures fell off the wall, but neither of us cared. When we both came he kissed me softly, "Good morning beautiful." I smiled, "Good morning handsome." He kissed me again as he carried me to the bed.

Suddenly someone made the foolish mistake of knocking on the door. He released a loud growl. "Sorry to interrupt, but King Dimo is here and I doubt you want to meet him naked." Cinteri yelled from the other side of the door. Azia released another growl as he stood up. We quickly dressed but before we stepped out of the room he grabbed my Scayra, and turned it to a beautiful, vibrant purple. He tied it around my hips, "We will pick up where we left off." A silver tiara appeared in his hands and he placed it on my head, my face heating instantly, "My beautiful queen."

We then left our room, hand in hand. King Dimo was sitting in Azia's throne. "Congratulations on the mating!" King Dimo said, a glass of wine in his hand. All of his siblings were tied up, Cinteri knocked out and bleeding. "I didn't want him letting you know I was here, but he did so I had to punish him." King Dimo explained. I then noticed three figures with bags over their heads. "Oh so you've noticed my newest slaves." He said smiling. He snapped his fingers and the bags were gone. There was my parents and my sister.

"Raven?" My sister asked in shock. My hand went to the hilt of my sword. If I moved, he'd kill them. "How did you get past the border?" Azia growled. "There was a little thing in the agreement that allowed me to enter." The agreement appeared in his hand, "If one of the sacrifices is a mate to a demon, then the King can go to the village and retrieve another. I grabbed three, hopes thats okay." Azia growled, "That doesn't explain how you were able to get through." King Dimo grinned, "You see, it just says King. It doesn't specify which King."

"But why my family?" I growled out. He smiled, "Azia was reunited with his, why not reunite you with yours? Let them see what a beautiful demon you became." My grip on my hilt tightened. "I'll make you deal, I'll let them go if you take their place." His look was to Azia.

"How about we just kill you and everyone goes free?" I asked. Azia and I were both flashes of quick speed as we ran to King Dimo. My sword was out, ready to slam it to the hilt in his throat. He shot a blast of magic at me, but a flap from my wings had me in the air and away from him. Azia managed to slice King Dimo's cheek, but that's all he managed.

Suddenly the room was filled with thick black smoke, blinding us. Everyone began to cough and choke. Something slammed into me from behind me. From their scent I knew they were an enemy. I pulled on the crescent moon, releasing the dagger in the hilt. I plunged it into them before sliding it back into the hilt. I was blasted by a burst of magic, causing me to slam into a wall. I fell from the wall to the floor. Something pricked my neck and the next thing I know, I'm paralyzed. I'm unable to call out to Azia as I'm dragged away, unnoticed in the middle of the chaos.

I heard King Dimo chuckling, "What a beautiful catch. He gets your family and I get you seems like a fair trade to me." I wanted to yell, to scream as he flew us away from the palace, away from my home, away from my mate. "Such a beautiful sword you made too. It'll be even prettier when I kill your mate with it."

His evil laughter echoed in my head. He took me to a camp hidden in clouds of black mist. "Your mate underestimates my power." He said as he landed. And you underestimate mine, I thought. "I love having a captive audience." He said gleefully. I couldn't even roll my eyes at him like I badly wished I could.

"Put her on the posts, I want her wings pinned too." He said, passing me to someone. Fight damn it! It was useless though. I couldn't do any. I was then tied, between two posts, arms and legs spread. They forced hooks into my wings with chains attached to the posts as well. Although I was paralyzed I could still pain. Had I been able to, I would've had to hold in my scream. It was the only good thing about being paralyzed. I refused to give him the satisfaction of hearing my screams.

"Remove her clothes, I want to be able to see her bleed once we start our fun." King Dimo ordered. They fondled me as they did and I wanted to tear off their hands. "So beautiful. I see why you so easily attracted the King. I might have to taste you myself."

Taking me signed King Dimo's death warrant, this assured that his death will be slow and painful. Maybe Azia won't kill him, but eternal torture was a for sure thing. A great way to deal with your anger, I thought. The pig deserved it. He gave me a sinister smile, "I'll wait to have my fun though. I want to hear you scream and see you cry. The thought of you begging me to stop as me excited. I'll see you in a few hours my beautiful Raven." He then left me alone. I prayed Azia soon found me.
