Shadow Slave (Shadow Master #2)

By Lillian Hanes

Felane, a warlock's apprentice, straddles the delicate line between tamer and tamed. When a slip of the tongue wounds her daemon lover's pride -- and solidifies Laen's growing fear of her power -- he punishes her, forcing her to service a troupe of underworld creatures to settle the debt. Felane welcomes this chance to mend the rift between them. No human -- nor any other daemon -- will ever satisfy her now she's had Laen.

But when his revenge goes to far, nearly killing her, restoring their trust in each other won't be easy. They must test their limits and probe the cracks in each other's boundaries -- or else their next time together may very well be their last.

Laen had a cruel sense of humor. What else could Felane expect from a demon? He drove her crazy with lust every time he entered her room, and he knew it; he used it to his advantage, to toy with her and tease her, and she couldn’t get enough. The first time he’d taken her in her apartments, he had fucked her servant right next to her, making her watch and listen until she was insane with jealousy and desire. Since then, it had just been the two of them, but that didn’t mean his tactics had changed.

He recently discovered a new favorite game. One morning, right before Felane left for her day of learning with the Master warlocks, he appeared in her rooms. He schooled his expression into one of lust, his eyes dark with desire, his shadowy aura pulsing with heat and energy. She had just finished straightening her robes and was about to go out the door when he touched her arm.

Oh! she gasped, surprised until she turned around and saw him. Oh. Laen. What are you – ?

I need you, Felane, he whispered huskily, leaning towards her. I want you so badly, but I couldn’t come to you last night. Now I can’t think of anything but fucking you.

A flush immediately came to her cheeks, and she licked her lips. She was weak for him, and he knew it; he counted on it. But I have to go now. I’ve never been late, and I –

If you’ve never been late, I’m sure nobody would mind just this once. Which master do you want to please more: the warlocks? He brushed his lips against hers. Or me?

She whimpered and hesitated only for a second. She pressed herself against his body with only the slightest moue. I guess just this once would be all right…

Oh, Felane, he breathed, hands running down her sides. He held her close, then pushed her up against the wall and eyed her hungrily. She let herself be pushed, her breath coming fast and shallow as his eyes roamed her body. While his hands explored, he leaned down and licked her neck. His breath was hot, but she shivered anyway and arched into his touch. His fingers found a nipple, and he rubbed and teased it through the robe until she gasped.

A warlock’s robe was long, hanging down to the wearer’s feet. Felane barely noticed how far Laen had hitched hers up until she felt fingers trailing up her thigh. She was already wet, already wishing his fingers were inside her, already wanting to wrap her legs around him while he took her hard against the wall. Her daily obligations seemed so irrelevant compared to this, compared to him, right now. Laen was right; he knew her well. She was still only an acolyte, fairly low on the pecking order, but he was the one she really wanted to please. If the other warlocks knew of this
