Summary: After arguing with Dom, Sei has an encounter with Diavolos.
Author’s note: This was written for Diavolos Appreciation Day and is a follow-up to The Torch Still Burns. Although I don’t see these two together long-term, since they both like it rough, I thought they would be sexually compatible.
Sei quickly exited Stormholt Castle. She had to get away from Dom. Kenna was happily married to Raydan and was expecting a baby, and yet Dom was still in love with her. She felt the fire burning inside her. Was she just a substitute for Kenna? She stretched out her hand and formed a small fireball, then hurled it across the grounds. Before it could do any damage, she called the fire back to her. As angry as she was, she still didn’t want to burn Stormholt. She just needed to vent. She kept repeating the cycle, throwing flames and pulling them back. Just as she was about to hurl another fireball, she heard a voice behind her.
“What the hells are you doing?”
She turned around and came face to face with Diavolos. “What does it look like?”
“Like you’re throwing flames across Stormholt.” Diavolos scanned the surroundings. “I don’t see an enemy out here, so how about you simmer down?”
Sei glared at him. “What are you even doing out here, anyway?”
“I needed some air. Rowan keeps giving me the evil eye. She doesn’t trust me because I’m a Nevrakis. She doesn’t realize that I’m not like my uncle or my father.” He paused, then changed the subject. “And what’s got you all fired up?”
Sei wondered if she should say anything. She wasn’t used to sharing her feelings with others. But she was still furious, and as long as Diavolos was outside with her, she couldn’t throw fireballs. Well, she probably could, but he might try to stop her, and she didn’t need any more aggravation.
“Dom,” she finally admitted. “He’s still in love with Kenna. She’s got this hold over him.” Looking at Diavolos, she got a funny feeling. “Oh no, not you too! Were you two together?”
Diavolos shook his head. “Not really. We kissed once. I hoped something more might come of it, but then Raydan came back and they got married.”
“So she rejected you too. I guess you can see his point of view,” Sei snarled. Why did I even bother sharing my feelings with someone who feels like he does? she wondered.
She stepped closer to Diavolos, grabbed his arms, and stared at him, eyes blazing with anger. He looked down at her, meeting her gaze directly. As their eyes locked, she drew nearer. Being in such close proximity to him, she couldn’t deny that he was attractive. She pulled him to her and kissed him.
They broke apart and looked into each other’s eyes again. Diavolos reached behind her and grabbed her hair, pulling it back. He kissed her deeply, and Sei felt fire course through her. She hurriedly began tugging off his shirt. As soon as it was off, he pushed her to the ground. He yanked off her clothing, then hovered over her, lowered his head, and kissed her roughly.
Sei reached up, running her hands across his muscular chest, then downward until she reached his waist. She slid his pants off and tossed them aside. She let out a gasp as his impressive endowment was revealed.
Diavolos grinned. “Surprised?”
She had never speculated about his size, but now the thought loomed large. She wondered how he would feel inside her. When she reached out and touched him, she could feel that he was hard as a rock.
He lowered his head, and he nibbled on her neck. He worked his way down to her chest, sucking hard on her breast as one finger slipped inside her and another rubbed her clit.
“Take me,” she ordered, her eyes meeting his.
As he held her down and plunged into her, she gave a loud cry. Their bodies moved against each other at a speed that matched the pounding of her heart. She dug her fingernails into his back, clutching at him as he brought her closer to the edge, until her passion finally exploded. He moaned, and with one last thrust, he spilled himself into her.
For a moment they lay there, catching their breath, and then he rolled off her. They lay on the ground, looking at the stars in the night sky.
Finally they put their clothes back on, and Diavolos turned to Sei. “We should probably get back inside.”
Sei nodded, and they began walking towards the castle. She felt calmer, and better able to face what came next.
