Erika

I should be celebrating.

There is a party in Leo's garden. The entire pack is invited since all the dangerous demons have been defeated. Everything is finally over, and everyone is happy since Nora is pregnant with the new future alpha.

Things are looking great, but I can't stop the ocean. Tears are running down my face, and I'm hiding upstairs inside the toilet. My heart is breaking into pieces.

I came here with a beautiful red velvet dress hugging my curves. I'm even wearing high heels. It's a waste locking myself up like this, but I can't stop thinking about Lucifer. Every night, I find myself in that magical place where we last had s*x inside my dreams. I wander those fields, but no matter what, I can't conjure him into existence. There is a knock on the bathroom door. "Erika, are you okay? You've spent an hour in there already..."

Levi.

My chest constricts after hearing his beautiful voice. I love him to bits, and he worries about me, but I feel ashamed to seek shelter in his muscular arms.

I cheated on him. In a dream, yes. But I still deserve to die, especially since I'm broken after Lucifer's death.

"Go away, Levi..." I sob and dry my eyes on my arm. They sting from too many salty tears.

"Erika..." I can hear the pain in his voice, and I know that he can feel my inner pain through the mate-bond. "Talk to me, please? You're my mate, and you're in pain..."

I suck my lips inside my mouth, back and forth between my teeth, while I shed more tears. "I've done something terrible, Levi..."

Levi sighs, and I hear him sink down to the floor. I know he is leaning his cheek and ear against the door without seeing him. I can feel it, and that makes my heart shatter further.

I don't deserve a mate like Levi. He is patient and kind; meanwhile, I'm a terrible person.

"You slept with Lucifer in your dreams, didn't you?" Levi asks, shocking me by knowing it and yet being so calm. I lack words, and the door makes a sound when Levi shifts his position. "Erika?"

I shut my eyes, whispering. "I'm still here... I just don't know what to say because... Because I'm guilty..."

Levi is quiet for a while, but eventually, he gives in and talks to me in a calm, kind voice.

"Look, Erika... Lucifer was your second mate, and it must have been impossible to resist him in your dreams. Lucifer was in control of them, and even... And even if you liked it, I don't blame you. Am I hurt you didn't immediately tell me? Yes. But am I angry with you? No, because Lucifer died, and I realize that you need me. You can't carry the sadness on your own. Let me in, please?"

I suck in a breath as emotion swells within my chest.

More than anything, I want to embrace Levi and be with him, inhale him. I long to run my fingers through his soft, smooth black hair. Laugh with him and watch silly shows on the TV.

The mate-bond is zapping between us, making breathing harder without him. But I still count what I did as cheating. I don't deserve to touch him. Conflict tears at me, and I don't know what to do.

"Levi..." I sigh heavily and sit down on the grey terrycloth carpet inside the bathroom. I pull at the straws. It's one of those from IKEA. "I think... I think I need a little break... Space..." "From me?"

His words hit like arrows. "It's not because I don't love you, Levi. I just... I just don't deserve to be with you."

"Erika..." I can hear the inner torment in his voice. Mates aren't made to be away from each other. I know this, but he is too good for me. "You know I'm not mad at you for what happened." "And that makes it worse. With you being this understanding and kind, I feel even more of a turd."

Levi sighs for what must be the billionth time, and I hear him stand up from the floor. "Okay, I've had enough of this..."

His words detonate more pain into my chest. I expect him to leave, but instead, a portal opens up underneath me. "Levi?!" I shriek. "What are you doing?!"

I fall into the darkness, and then I plunge into his arms. He holds me like a bride to his chest, irritated eyes settling on mine.

"I need to take care of my woman."

Before I can digest what that means, Levi walks away with me. His long strides eat up distance fast until we stand outside the room that used to be mine. I gulp. What is he planning on doing?

Music blasts from the party outside, and Levi shoves open the door with his shoulder before bringing us inside. It's dark, but Levi makes the room flood with spirit flames through a mutter.

The magic is beautiful. I've never seen him summon floating flames and stare at them in awe. I wonder what else he can do? Levi's magic has always been so mysterious.

"You and I are going to take a bath," Levi kisses the top of my head, inhaling me while taking me inside the bathroom. "I've heard water, bubbles, and chocolate are what humans need when you're sad. I will be giving you everything tonight. Anything you want. Including me."

I melt in his arms, taken by his words.

Levi is a sweetheart, and I gaze up into his lavender eyes. At the same time, his magic starts the multiple faucets in the giant tub. Steam billows into the room, and I'm gently placed on the floor.

"Are you ready to be healed?" Levi asks, and his fingers stroke over my cheek. I nod, and his lips curve into a small smile. "Good, because I need you to work with me, Erika."

I'm about to tell him I will try because I can't fight the yearning inside me in his presence. But words fail me when he tosses off his shirt, and unable to stop myself, I gasp. "Holy moon goddess..." I breathe, looking at his abs which look even more defined than before. "Those aren't digitally enhanced or something? Levi... What the heck happened?!" Levi chuckles and leans forward, brushing his lips against my ear. "This body is real... One hundred percent."

"But how?"

"I'm a demon, Erika... I feed off your desires, and when my brothers died, their power went to me... I have so much of it I don't know what to do. So what better way to use it than satisfy you?" "By changing your appearance?"

"Don't you like it?"

My answer is to reach out to touch him. I hesitate, so Levi grabs my fingers and brings them to his eight-pack. Holy moly, he is ripped, like an alpha on cracks.

"Erika, my beautiful mate," Levi tugs me closer to him, dwarfing me and surrounding me with the heat coming off his body. "This is all yours to touch and explode. No matter what, your hands are the only ones I want on me. Only yours."

I suck my bottom lip and stroke Levi's smooth, hot flesh. He is hard, all ridges and valleys that don't give beneath my hands. Not at all like my body which has gone soft from less time spent at the gym.

I'm tall and toned, but not like this. I fear Levi won't like me back for a second, but my breaths are wasted worrying. His nose lands in my hair, and his arms wrap around me.

"You're so soft and perfect," Levi murmurs, doing his own exploring along my torso. I'm still in clothes, and he tugs at my dress. "I want to get you out of this thing and quickly..."

I lift my chin, meeting his eyes. "Levi, you're too nice for me, but..." I let out a pained chuckle. "You're tricking me with skin-to-skin contact and the promise of s*x... How am I supposed to resist you?"

"Easy," Levi tilts his head, and his dimples show in his smile. "You won't resist me, Erika. You give in. Be happy with me instead of worrying about what you did wrong. You're already sorry for it, and if you want me to be happy, just let it go." Hot tears prickle behind my eyes, but Levi won't let me use this moment to cry. He growls and leans forward, claiming my lips with his nails turning into claws at the back of my neck. Delicious.

My hands skim lazily over the plates of his chest, feeling up his chiseled muscles, and I moan into his mouth. Levi's magic somehow removes my clothes, and the kiss turns carnal. His rock-hard erection is nestled between us, humming for attention, and I can feel my arousal growing. Levi must be able to smell the wetness spreading between my legs.

His lips and growls speak loud and clear, and I close my eyes when he shoves his tongue into my mouth. Then, without much effort, he picks me up and grips my a*s.

It's sexy how easy it is for him. I feel so small, and I'm getting increasingly horny from his hand squeezing my b**t. The tip of his thumb caresses my wet folds, and I swear I'm dripping. Everything inside of me is hot and wet and tight. Levi's thumb is touching me agonizingly slowly, and I need his d**k. It feels like it's been ages since we last made love. "Levi," I groan in protest, breaking from his lips. He meets my eyes, and I lean against him, bringing attention to my hardened n*****s. "More," I demand. "I need more of you." "What do you need?" Levi rumbles.

"You."

"You have me."

"I need you to f**k me, Levi," I insist. "Hard. Violently. Now."

His eyes seem to dilate with lust until the only color I can see is black, the sign of his demon taking over. It makes me even wetter. I love it when Levi goes wild and demonic.

"Tonight, Erika, I will remind you of who owns you," Levi speaks in a deeper voice. Growling, really. It's possessive and demanding. "I'm your mate, and you're mine. Only mine. If Lucifer were here right now, I would kill him. Do you understand?"

My heart is beating out of my chest. Now I can hear Levi is angry about what happened, and the only answer I manage is a nod. It makes him smirk in satisfaction.

"Good, and as your punishment, I won't be gentle. This might hurt a little, Erika, but I'm sure you can take it."

My core clenches by the end of his sentence, reacting to his darker side, the master of my pleasure. My body knows it. I know it.

I exhale shakily. "I can take it."

"Yes, you can," Levi carries me away from the bathroom, leaving it behind as gentleness is no longer on his agenda. "You're all mine, Erika. And I'm never letting you go."
