The Demon Within

Chapter 11

I woke up to light hitting me face, I groaned and rolled over burying my face in a hard figure in my bed.

I got a huge whiff of Thayne’s cologne. I froze. Why was there a hard figure in my bed? I’m not even in my bed. Whose bed is this?

I sat up and looked over at Thayne was who was watching me. I looked around seeing my legs tangled in black sheets, this room a was pretty big. It had white carpet and black and red couches and pillows. I frowned. Where was i?

“where am I?” I asked Thayne yawning.

“My room” he replied.

“but I thought-“

“I have a room now” he said before I could even ask the question.

“Now what was it you wanted to talk about?” he asked me, I thought remembering our small conversation last night. Mating, right.

“why would you buy a bed for me?” I asked.

“Because I figured you would want to stay over sometimes without the fear of your dad checking up on you- which he does quite frequently” he told me flashing me an ultra white set of teeth.

“was there something else you wanted to discuss?” he asked me, I laid back down.

“let me sleep for a little while longer” I said and then went back to sleep. I woke up the second time and laid there for a while.

“Thayne do demons have the same er… urges humans and werewolves do?” I asked.

“Are you asking me about sex?” he asked me sounding amused.

“Yeah” I answered sheepishly.

“We’re still somewhat human McKenzie” he told me.

“so you do?” I asked.

“yes, is there a particular reason you’re curious?” he asked me.

“I was just thinking about… us someday” I answered feeling him stiffened under me.

“McKenzie…” he paused. “I don’t think that… that will be possible for us” he told me, I sat up looking down at him.

“Why?” I asked.

He sighed “McKenzie I have to be extremely careful around you, I have to watch everything I do because I could easily hurt you. It’s very hard for me to touch you as gently as I do, it takes a lot of strain and self control. If we did… and I lost control for even a half a second I could kill you. And I have trouble controlling myself around you already” he told me.

“at least I would die happily” I muttered looking at my hands.

“Can demons um… reproduce?” I asked feeling a small heat rise in my cheeks.

“yes” he answered.

“what are we going to do when I go into heat?” I asked quietly.

“What?” he asked looking down at me. Now that I was with him, I would go into heat from touching him and being in his presence.

“I’m going to go into heat” I repeated.

“What does that mean?” he asked me.

“it’s about a 4 day period where I go through excruciating pain unless um…” I felt my cheeks heat up slightly.

‘unless what?” he asked me.

“Unless you cool me down” I answered looking back at him.

“How would I do… oh” he said looking in deep thought.
