Chapter 32: What’s Done in the Dark

Cionna’s POV

Lex nods and squeezes my hand on her way out. Julien, however, stays in his spot beside me. Whatever she has to say, I could tell Julien isn’t excited about it.

“Now that the room is clear, let’s be candid. Cionna, were you aware that Julien is an incubus demon?”

“Not that it is any of your business, but yes. He told me.”

“So, you willingly became his thrall?”

“Excuse me?”

“She is not my thrall,” Julien protests.

“You will not manipulate me, demon. I know what it is your kind needs to survive. You should tell her that the real reason she’s in that bed is because of you.”

My head starts to throb from my aunt’s interference. I don’t have the energy to deal with her.

“Aunty Gwen, I am well aware that incubus demons feed off of sexual energy. I have already taken precautions to protect myself from him accidentally overindulging. I doubt he’s feeding on purpose.”
