BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2
Chapter 17 – The Maybe’s
LUCIUS.
Title of the document
I left the human realm and sought comfort in my own kingdom after I argued with Patrea.
It took a while before I was able to calm myself, but not after I sucked the life out of two demons that
were on my way.
I tried to put my mind in the blanks, but thoughts of her kept running through my head.
In the end, I caved in and opened my hologram to have a glimpse of her, but she was nowhere inside
the house, only for me to find her outside, discussing things with people around her, including the man I
was dying to crush.
She was not even bothered that I had left. Of course, humans would always be a better option than
demons.
I shut the hologram and summoned a she-demon to ease my mind of the witch, even for a while. I
shouldn’t be bothered by Patrea ignoring me. I would not run out of females if I wanted to.
“Ugggh…” I grunted as her mouth took in my whole length, but the grunt was not out of pleasure but of
annoyance. The warmth that I was expecting didn’t come.
Having my c*ock in Patrea’s mouth ruined every other female for me.
I leaned forward from my chair-lounging position and wrapped my hand around the she-demon’s nape
before tilting her head upward, causing her to release my c*ock from her mouth.
I met her eyes, but the gaze from the amber eyes I was searching for was not there.
F*uck.
I took a deep breath and released her neck without taking my eyes off her. I wanted to soak in her
features to take the witch off my mind.
The she-demon was pretty with all the black veins printed on her skin. Her horns were not sharp yet,
but her tail was long and playing on my back, caressing my neck. It was supposed to awaken my
arousal, but it was far from what I was feeling at the moment.
I couldn’t feel as much excitement as I used to.
My chest was heavy.
She smiled wickedly at me before swiping her tongue over her fangs and tipping her head down,
opening her mouth wide. But even before she could take my c*ock back into her mouth, I whisked her
away and made her disappear from my chamber before I leaned back on the couch and contemplated
what to do next.
After a few seconds, I gathered myself up and decided to go to someone who I was sure would be
happy to see me.
PATREA.
It had already been more than 24 hours since Lucius left, and I had not heard from him again.
I wanted to call Lucy and ask if he’d been there, but I assumed Lucy would call me if he was. So maybe
he went back to Kalmerus.
Now I was left wondering if there was something that he didn’t like about our setup because I thought
we were moving forward.
Perhaps he lost interest and was looking for an excuse to leave, and Bernard gave him the best one.
Maybe I disappointed him with the blow job I gave him last night.
Of course, my mouth couldn’t compare to all the she -demons around him, and he probably wanted to
f*uck — the real thing.
I knew how s*exual they were, and the only ones that could match him were the she-demons. I would
never reach that intensity. I am just me.
And maybe he got tired of waiting. I should have given in. But I was not sure if I could. I thought he was
okay with taking it slow.
Maybe he thought I was just making excuses not to fulfill the contract I made with him. So many
maybes.
I adjusted the rearview mirror of my car and checked the traffic behind me as I drove my way home
from the library.
I had no idea how I was able to function and finish today’s work, but I was grateful that I did. I was
almost done with the inventory, and hopefully, by tomorrow I could wrap it up.
Bernard dropped by as he said he would, but I turned him over to my co-worker. I told him I was quite
busy. But the truth was that, aside from the many things I had to do, I didn’t want to deal with him. He
was a reminder that Lucius had left.
I hurried to finish what I could and left the library as soon as the clock ticked three o’clock. I was hoping
Lucius was home.
The house felt empty without him, especially last night.
I held on to my hope that he would show up, but he didn’t, and I almost didn’t sleep as I was afraid of
the nightmares. And I was right — the nightmare came again.
Something in him was making me feel secure. Maybe because, around him, I knew no one would force
me or take me somewhere, so my mind was always at ease with him.
I chuckled despite myself. I was just using Lucius. I wanted him around so I could stop the nightmares
from coming. I was the bad one here.
Or maybe we just both had agendas that, unfortunately, weren’t working.
I parked the car in my driveway, but I didn’t go out yet. I checked the windows of my house for any sign
that someone was inside. But everything was still, with no lights, just like when I left it this morning.
With heavy steps, I dragged myself inside the house, slowly turning the key in its hole before pushing
the door open.
Nothing. No breath of life.
I closed the door behind me and dropped my bag onto the couch before I sat beside it without even
opening the lights and shutting my eyes.
My hand reached for the pocket of my bag and slid my hand into it, taking out the coin he gave me.
Should I summon him? What if I did and he refused to see me?
That would hurt more.
Before I could contemplate what to do next, the home phone rang. I flicked my fingers, and the lights
went up around the house as I grabbed the receiver.
“Hello, this is Patrea,” I answered, hoping this was Lucy or Althea.
“Hey there, beautiful!”
“Lucy!” I exclaimed. “I was just thinking of you…”
She giggled softly. “Me too! Althea and I have been wanting to call you for days now, but I said, let’s
wait until day three is over to check.”
I swallowed, knowing where this was going. So, she didn’t know. It only meant one thing, Lucius didn’t
go to her or Adan.
“So… how was it?”
“I’m not sure I understand your question?”
“How was it with my brother? Was he nice? Or was he being evil?”
“He’s not here.” I couldn’t hear my voice. “He left yesterday around lunchtime.”
“What?” Her voice sounded surprised, and her tone changed. “Why? Did you kick him out?”
“No… we had a disagreement, and he left.” “And where is he? I didn’t see him here.” “Maybe he went
back to Kalmerus.”
“Maybe.” She let out a deep sigh. “I’m sorry. Was he being an asshole?”
“No. He’s not. He’s been great, to be honest, but maybe we’re just not seeing eye to eye with
everything.”
“Do you want me to talk to him?”
“I’m not sure what you can tell him.”
“Do you want to share what happened?”
I took a deep breath before telling Lucy everything. If there was anyone who could help me at this
point, it was her.
She told me she would look for Lucius, but she had no guarantee her brother would listen to her
because, more often than not, Lucius never shared what his thoughts were, and if he didn’t want to be
found, she would not be able to reach him at all.
We ended the call, and I tried to continue with my nightly routine. I made dinner and went for a shower
to calm myself.
Night time scared me, especially since Althea was not here. I’d heard of people dying during their
sleep, and sometimes they were caused by nightmares.
I kept telling myself this was the only reason I wanted Lucius back, but by bedtime, I knew I was
missing his presence.
I changed my bedsheets to get his smell off my nose. Only for me to dig into the laundry hamper and
take the pillow case I took from his pillow and place it back so I could dig my nose into it.
I wanted him back here.
This was madness, like wishing for something that I knew would never happen.
“Where are you? Are you checking on me? Can you come back now so we can talk?” I said in a slightly
higher voice while I lay flat in the middle of the bed, staring at the ceiling, silently wishing that he was
using his hologram on me at the moment.
