Inescapably Hellbound (Spells That Bind Book 5) Read online

Lucifer looked at me and waited, as if expecting me to tell him I was joking.

  “It really was her,” Hades confirmed.

  Lucifer’s laughter echoed across the room. “I suddenly wish I’d gone to the meeting.” He smirked when he saw Hades place his hand on my lower back. I was certain he was teasing us with his next words. “I’ll walk Persephone to her room. You look tired, Hades.”

  “Screw that,” Hades grumbled before scooping me up in his arms and stalking out of Lucifer’s home.

  Chapter 50

  Hades

  I’d played nice with Lucifer when the elevator doors opened, but my patience was at an end. Blood was pounding through my veins as I stalked toward the portal leading to my home. Persephone’s hands were moving along my chest, further fueling my desire.

  We didn’t speak in those few minutes it took us to get to my home. I wasn’t sure I possessed the ability to speak with her so close to me. The nerves I’d felt were gone. Persephone was the one. Breaking my curse still mattered, but not nearly as much as making her mine.

  I hurried through the great hall, not wanting to dwell in the area that represented my past. Once I had her in my main living area, I set her on her feet and cradled her face in my hands. Her smile reassured me I was doing the right thing.

  “I’ve waited an eternity for you,” I uttered.

  “Kiss me,” she pleaded. “I need you.”

  I was in no position to deny her need. Part of me wanted to tease her, make her desperate as I drew out her pleasure, but I’d been dreaming of her for too long. I needed to touch her, taste her, lose myself in her body. I claimed her mouth in a kiss that could leave no doubt of my intentions. My tongue moved against hers as she moaned and struggled to bring our bodies closer.

  When her hands slipped around my back to touch my wings, a hiss escaped my lips. Nothing had ever compared to this. Each caress of her fingers sent jolts of pleasure straight to my dick. My power hummed along my skin, moving through my feathers. As my magic poured from my wings, vibrations pulsed through me, sending blood pounding through my veins. Persephone’s fingers continued stroking my wings, coaxing my power to glide along her skin.

  She gasped against my mouth, and I deepened the kiss. My tongue explored her mouth, savoring her taste. I threaded my fingers through the hair at the back of her head, holding her in place. With my other hand, I gripped her ass, pulling her closer to my throbbing dick. All the while, my power moved against her, caressing and exploring. The sensation was so intense, I was ready to explode.

  When I felt my magic reaching out to hers, coaxing it to respond, I broke the kiss and caught her wrists, pinning them behind her back.

  “I want to touch you more,” she insisted as she struggled to free herself.

  I shook my head. “Not yet. Take the robe off,” I commanded as I released her wrists.

  Persephone took two steps back and smiled as she stripped out of her purple robe. She didn’t wait for my next command, immediately pulling her green sweater over her head. Her smile took on a decidedly naughty quality as she stood before me in a black lace bra and a long black skirt.

  “You’re so beautiful, especially when you smile at me,” I uttered. “I am dying to make you come again and again.”

  “Yes,” she whispered.

  Stepping forward, she grabbed my hair to pull me closer for another kiss. I savored her taste as my hand reached behind her to undo her bra. She quickly pushed it off. When I felt her hardened nipples against my bare chest, I groaned against her mouth. I hadn’t felt so close to completion in a very long time.

  I backed her against the wall, catching her hands when she reached for my wings again. I pinned them above her head and kissed my way down to her neck. Her perfect breasts were pushed out, demanded my attention. Releasing her hands, I took one of her nipples into my mouth and teased it with my tongue.

  “Oh, goddess,” she panted out, arching to get closer to my mouth.

  I took my time savoring her perfect breasts, only stopping when she was gripping my hair and whimpering with need. Only then did I drop to my knees in front of her and bring my mouth close to her hot pussy. When I reached for the bottom of her skirt to lift it up, she tugged hard on my hair to get my attention.

  “No more teasing,” she told me.

  “I’m dying to have you come on my tongue,” I admitted.

  “Not this time,” she insisted as she continued to tug at my hair to get me to my feet. “Please, Hades. I’ve waited so long. Make me yours.”

  I nodded, reminding myself there would be plenty of time to savor her later. I led her to my bedroom and drew her close for another kiss. We quickly stripped out of our clothes. When we were both naked, I took a step back to look at her. Her body was perfect, all soft curves, just the way a woman should be.

  “You’re beautiful,” she whispered.

  Her praise made me smile. “That’s supposed to be my line. I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want you now.”

  The vixen turned her back to me and walked toward my bed. Her hips swayed with each step. She placed one knee on the bed and looked at me over her shoulder. Her smile held the promise of hot, sweaty sex with no boundaries. Persephone was sweet and somewhat innocent, yet something told me she’d hold nothing back in bed.

  “What are you doing all the way over there?” she asked with a sultry purr.

  “You constantly amaze me,” I rasped out as I approached her, stopping to get a condom on my way.

  Dropping the condom onto the bed, I leaned forward to push her hair to the side and kiss the back her neck. Persephone’s shudder was my reward. “I need in you.”

  “Yes.” That one word sounded like a plea as she climbed onto the bed, rolled onto her back, and held out a hand to me.

  Before taking her hand, I rolled the condom down my aching cock.

  When I joined her on the bed, she immediately wrapped her legs around my hips, trying to bring herself closer to my dick. She bit my shoulder in frustration, causing me to hiss as arousal flooded my body. Her hand reached between us to position the head of my cock at her entrance. “Stop holding back. I love you wild, like when I first saw you.”

  “You want wild?” I asked.

  “Oh goddess, yes.” Her voice was breathy.

  I gripped her ass and bit her lower lip as I began to press into her hot pussy.

  Chapter 51

  Persephone

  My eyes widened, and I gasped as Hades stretched me. He was big, just shy of painful, and I loved it.

  “Are you okay?” he asked, his face tight with the effort to remain in control.

  My nails scored his back. “You feel amazing. Stop holding back.”

  And he did. Hades began to move. His thrusts started out slow and deep. I won’t lie; it took me some time to adjust to his size, so I was thankful he started out slow, even as part of me wanted him to thrust into me hard and fast. I clawed at his shoulders and back like a wild woman as my arousal grew.

  He pulled out just long enough to go to his knees. He slid his hands under my backside to lift me off the bed, allowing him to deepen his thrusts. Each thrust felt impossibly deep. When I tried to wiggle, I couldn’t. Hades took complete control of my pleasure, and I loved it.

  “So good,” I said with a moan. “Need more.” That was as close as I could come to a complete sentence. My mind focused on how good it felt to finally have Hades in me. I’d wanted him for so long that I was already coiling tighter around his dick when his thrusts increased in speed and intensity.

  It was almost too much. His hands held me off the bed as he brought me closer to the edge. When my nails dug into his thighs, he growled low in his throat. His golden eyes locked with mine, and I felt his power slide along my skin. It was intense, and it vibrated to my core. My own power reached out to his, but his retreated before they could mingle.

  I opened my mouth to protest, but all that came out was a whimper of desire when Hades changed position so his dick was r
ubbing against the perfect spot. It was so good that I could no longer focus on anything but pleasure. His eyes moved to where our bodies were joined, and I felt his hot magic sliding along my clit.

  I was on sensation overload. Loud mewling noises came from the back of my throat as my arousal increased. I tightened until each sensation was almost too much. My eyes closed tightly, and I screamed with my orgasm.

  Hades slowed his pace, allowing me to ride out the waves of my orgasm. He released me and moved so he could brush his lips against mine. His gaze was locked with mine, and I could see his struggle. My fingers trailed around to his back to touch his wings, and Hades growled low in his throat. His mouth claimed mine in a kiss that was hot and wild as he began to move again. When he broke our kiss, his thrusts became harder. I released his wings to claw at his back.

  My nails only made him wilder. His movements became near-violent as he brought me to the edge again. I could feel his dick swelling inside me as he neared his own release. Without warning, his power sprang forth, and I felt Hades’s intense arousal. It was amazing. I screamed as my second orgasm pulsed around his dick.

  It was then that Hades found his own release. His face expressed a mix of satisfaction, wonder, and shock as he called out my name. His dick twitched inside me as he came for the first time in more than two millennia.

  Chapter 52

  Hades

  I’d been awake for hours, simply staring at her. After the night we’d shared, I should have been exhausted, but I’d never needed much sleep, a benefit of being a fallen angel.

  “Good morning,” Persephone said with a sleepy smile.

  “I’m not sure it’s morning yet,” I replied. “I suppose it doesn’t matter what time it is. As long as you’re here with me, it’s good.”

  “See? You do say romantic things.” She snuggled closer into my side. “How does it feel to finally have your curse broken?”

  “Amazing,” I admitted. “Not to sound crude, but I’ve had blue balls for more than two millennia.”

  She giggled. “You’ve said that many times, and you suddenly realized it’s crude?”

  “Sorry,” I began. “I repeat myself a lot, don’t I?”

  “Not too much,” she assured me. “Just about the blue balls, but I can understand why that would be on your mind. I was more than a little frustrated, and I could at least take care of matters on my own.”

  “That is something I’d like to see.” In truth, I was getting hard thinking about watching her touch herself.

  “I’m sure you will,” she replied with a naughty grin. “Now that I have you where I want you, I’m not letting you go.”

  Her teasing made me laugh. “How did I ever live without you? I’ve been lonely most of my life. I didn’t realize that before you. I was desperate to break this curse, but I never considered what finding love would actually mean to my life.”

  “That makes sense,” she replied thoughtfully. “You were the god of the underworld, not exactly a life that would lead one to have romantic musings.”

  “Do you want romance?” I asked. Romance was something I knew nothing about, but I wanted to make Persephone happy. “I could promise to try to be romantic, but I don’t use flowery words or phrases. I shock you with my language more often than not.”

  She snorted. “I lived with Beatrice. I also haven’t lived in a bubble. It may seem that way at times, but I’ve heard people use profanity. My own parents can be crude. You’ve even heard me use profanity. I consider those power words. I use them when needed. Look how much more effective it was when I used one at the council meeting.”

  I chuckled at the memory. “That was impressive and hot as fuck. I’d love to hear you talk dirty to me.”

  She flashed me a smile filled with wicked promise. “Maybe I will.”

  “When I first met you, you seemed incredibly innocent,” I said as I caressed her cheek. “In many ways, you are, but not the way I thought.”

  “So, what you mean is that you thought I was a virgin,” she deduced.

  I smiled and shook my head. “I haven’t been that out of touch with the world. Still, my thoughts were foolish. You can fight, and my world doesn’t frighten you.”

  “Most would say I’m too curious for my own good,” she replied. “I often fail to recognize something could be dangerous because I’m too eager to learn more about it. Coming to the demon realm was exciting for me. Even knowing your history of kidnapping women with my name, I wasn’t afraid to meet you. After I met you, I was even less afraid, but that could have something to do with how attractive you are. I had many naughty dreams about touching you and tasting you.” Her admission was getting me even harder. “I guess I have a hunger for knowledge.”

  “I suddenly have a hunger myself,” I told her as I rolled her onto her back and began kissing my way down her body.

  Chapter 53

  Persephone

  I gasped when Hades’s lips moved along my neck and down to my collarbone. It had been a couple of days since he’d last shaved, so his stubble no longer felt harsh against my skin. I loved how quickly his beard was growing back and the way it tickled my skin.

  On his downward trek, he stopped to tease my nipples. As his tongue flicked my aching nipple, jolts of desire pulsed down to my core. His lips moved across my belly and to the hollow of my hip. He lifted one of my legs and ran his tongue along my inner thigh, stopping just short of where I wanted his mouth most.

  “Please, put your mouth on me,” I whispered, needing his touch.

  He chuckled and circled my opening with his tongue before kissing his way along my other thigh. I whimpered in frustration and looked down at him. His wings appeared at his back, sending warm magic along my skin. My eyes drifted shut as I moaned.

  Gripping my backside, Hades lifted me off the bed and brought his mouth close. After our first night together, I was addicted to his mouth. Hades definitely had oral skills like no other, and I wanted him to touch me, but he didn’t. His mouth just stayed close to me. I felt his warm breath wash over my sensitive skin, and then I felt his fallen angel magic moving around me. The air heated as it swirled along my clit like a vortex of pleasure, stroking me with just the right pressure.

  “What are you doing?” I asked with a gasp when his magic thrust into me briefly before returning to my clit.

  “A little magic I’ve been dying to use on you,” he replied. His heated gaze was on my face as he watched my every reaction.

  “That feels so good.” I moaned and writhed in his grip. His hands on my backside were holding me in place as his power continued to caress me. The heat was just shy of painful, and his touch was making me whimper as my body coiled tighter. His magic continued to lap against my skin, moving me closer to my release. The teasing continued for several minutes. I was aching for my release, but it seemed just out of reach. “No,” I said with a moan.

  “What’s wrong?” Hades asked.

  “I can’t come,” I panted out.

  When I looked down, I found him regarding me with an evil grin. “I know.”

  “What?” I asked, my eyes widening. “Are you doing this?”

  He chuckled. “You get to come when I’m ready for you to come.”

  “Bastard,” I accused with no real heat. It was hard to be angry when I was experiencing such sweet torture.

  “That’s it,” he rasped out. When I looked down, I found his eyes were like molten gold. “I love it when you talk like that. Tell me I’m an asshole for making you wait. Tell me how much you want to come for me.”

  “Goddess, yes,” was my strained reply. “I’m so close. Please.”

  “Don’t be so impatient, little witch,” he crooned as the strokes of his power slowed, pulling me back from the edge.

  Hades’s magic increased, moving faster and harder. When I was about to scream in frustration at being unable to climax, Hades leaned in and bit down gently on my clit. The magic released its hold on me, and I screamed loudly as I came so h
ard, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to walk for an hour.

  With gentle laps of his tongue, Hades worked me through the last of my orgasm before releasing my backside and resting his head on my thigh. “I love you, Persephone.”

  I smiled, surprised he was willing to admit his feelings so soon. To be honest, I’d expected him to be hesitant, even knowing that him loving me was the only way the curse could be broken. “I love you, too,” I replied, reaching down to touch his hair. “You’ll never be lonely again.”

  Chapter 54

  The Strategist

  “Why should I help you?” the demon demanded, her thin black lips pulled back to reveal her serpent-like fangs. She was a homely demon with scaly red skin and small tufts of white hair on her head. According to my sources, she could get what I needed.

  “I can give you power,” was my bored reply. Turning my back to her, I pretended to look out across the ice mountains. I hated this part of Hell, but it was a good place to meet since most people avoided it. From a distance, the mountains looked like multi-colored gems. The closer you got, the less pleasant the area became. It was far too cold.

  “I have power,” the demon argued.

  “If you were satisfied with the power you have, then you wouldn’t be meeting with me,” I argued with a smug grin. The demon was trying to play it cool, but I knew the truth. She craved what I had to offer. I wasn’t in the mood to play games with her. “I already know what your next move is going to be. You’ll suggest you might only be here so you can report back to Lucifer.”

  The demon snorted. “I’m not that stupid. You’ll kill me if you think I’m going to betray you.”

  Her answer impressed me. I hated working with demons, but this one at least seemed to have a brain in her head. “Then we can stop with the games? Standing out here in the cold is pissing me off.”

  “I’m not crazy about it myself,” the demon grumbled.

  “Tell me what you can do for me,” I prompted.
