ThailI've gathered flowers in a wide range of colors today. I plucked them from the mountaintop, and now I'm dropping them onto the cave floor. It's time to enchant them.My lips move, and magic travel to my fingertips. Soon these flowers will never wither, and I will decorate the cave walls with them, so my dear mate will find it cozy here.I spread my wings, letting my magic seep out from my skin. I focus hard and close my eyes, chanting the same verse repeatedly. These flowers won't wither. They won't!My determination flows, and once I'm done, I open my eyes—only to hear someone clapping their hands behind me."Good work on that spell, son. Are they for your mother's grave? You have gathered a lot of them."I turn around and lift my head. My father is standing at the entrance of the cave. He is much taller than me and wearing a feathered cloak. There are also some feathers in his long, black hair."Father..." I bow my head because he is the chief of my tribe. It doesn't matter th

TaliaAfter studying with Sally and Victoria, I'm exhausted. I kick off my shoes in the hallway. There is a heap of shoes because of my two chaotic sisters, but I won't sort their boots today. Nope.Instead, I choose to ignore it and take off my clothes. Laughter is coming from inside the living room, which is surprising. My two sisters are with my mom at an author convention in another town. I'm a bit salty that I have college. My mom and sisters are staying over at some luxurious hotel and everything. As a struggling romance author, my mom rarely makes much money, but my mom's new friend is paying for everything. I wonder if that friend is a male? She hasn't dated since dad died..."Oh, do you want more cookies?" My granny asks someone inside the living room, which is odd. Since when does she invite people over for cookies?I lift an eyebrow and stalk inside the house. The air smells like freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. It's my granny's specialty. I could go for a cookie my

Talia When I enter through the portal, I notice Thail's cave looks different from the last time I saw it. Flowers coat the walls—beautiful ones that glow in the dark—it makes my heart squeeze. "Did you decorate your cave for me?" Thail hands me a smile. "Yes, and don't worry. The flowers will stop glowing if you ask them to. I enchanted them. It was my mom's special magic to enchant things. I inherited that gift." "Oh," I admire the flowers, stepping close enough to touch one glowing in a beautiful blue. "But that isn't your only magic, right?" "No, I'm also a summoner like my dad. I can summon portals, items, anything in exchange for energy..." his eyes grow warmer when I face him, and he grins. "Being around you gives me more energy." The whole concept of magic is new to me. Thail being basically the demon version of Harry Potter is frightening, yet I keep a smile on my face. "I see..." "Mmm," Thail walks over to one of his knitted baskets, opens it, and takes out a fuzzy f

Talia I wake up in the arms of my demon lover—I might as well call him that since I can't keep my hands off him. Thail is gorgeous, and his chest makes for the perfect sleeping place. He is like a furnace in the cold that bites at night. I stretch a little and lift myself up on my forearms. My demon mate isn't awake yet. I smile down at his peaceful face. His eyelashes are spread over his cheeks, and there is a little drool on his chin. Looking at him warms my heart.Am I weird for finding this big idiot cute?Thail and I might not have done the actual deed yet, but it might come in the future? I'm unsure. I mean... Thail wishes for me to carry his babies, but woah—we are definitely not there yet! We haven't even said that we like each other yet!But...I want to have real sex with him.Damn.Can we have cock and vagina sex without a baby happening between us? I'm unsure if my birth control pills even work against demon sperm. I mean, they are magical creatures, right?I have to as

TaliaIt has already gotten dark.I was only supposed to stay a couple of hours with the girls, but I completely forgot the time. Victoria and I got a lot of studying done for our exams. And Sally has been busy making Thail uncomfortable.She is doing it now too. "You have such huge arms," Sally squeezes Thail's bicep as we head for the cars, and I stifle a laugh. Thail isn't the kind to bark anyone away. Instead of telling Sally to release him, his pleading eyes land on me. He is practically begging me to save his big demon ass. I sigh. What don't you do for your daddy demon?"Sally, no offense, but just because Thail is as tame as a kitten doesn't mean he likes you clinging to him."Sally pouts at me. "I'm just touching him! I've never felt muscles like these, and didn't you say he wasn't your boyfriend? Also, the man can speak for himself, Talia," she looks up at the giant demon. "Right, Thail?"Thail, who realizes I can't save him, swallows thickly. A hint of irritation flashe
