permission when he is of legal age and in control of his mental
faculties? Not only that, but your agreement to Mr. and Mrs.
Whitaker’s proposal endangers Alexis. I hate to think what your
superiors would say once they find out.”
The medic paled visibly. Morgan didn’t really blame the guy for
yielding in front of the pressure from the two demons. He gathered
the Whitakers had the ability to influence the decisions of even the
strongest-willed people.
“Of course. You’re right, Mr. Pierce-Cunningham,” Thoreau
replied. “I’ll go over the situation with the patient and make
recommendations once he is better.”
Morgan nodded briefly, acknowledging Thoreau’s words. “I
appreciate that. And on this note, I’m going back to Alexis’s room.”
He directed his attention toward the two demons. “Mr. and Mrs.
Whitaker, it was a pleasure to see you both again,” he said
sarcastically. “Remember my words, and I trust our next meeting will
be more pleasant.”
Without further ado, Morgan turned his back on the group and
stalked out of the office. As he was heading back to Alexis’s room, he heard the sound of clicking high heels behind him and knew without
looking who it was. He stopped, leaned against the wall, and waited to see what else Mrs. Whitaker wanted of him.
Alexis’s mother stopped in front of him and offered him a small,
polite smile. Her eyes fixed on Morgan’s, and Morgan was
temporarily hypnotized by how much they looked like Alexis’s.
Her scent was different, though, more flowery, and the seductive
aura she exuded didn’t affect Morgan like Alexis did.
“Yes, Mrs. Whitaker?” he prodded, keeping his voice low and
polite.
“I’m afraid you misunderstood me and my husband’s intentions.”
She reached for his hand and squeezed it. “We merely want to take
care of Alexis.”

“We’re perfectly capable of doing that here,” Morgan answered.
The succubus sighed. “It’s just that…He hasn’t had the best
experience here. It’s best if we return to our own people.”
Unfortunately, Morgan was forced to agree with the first part of
her reply. Still, selfishly, he didn’t want to let go of Alexis. After the conversation he’d overheard, he wouldn’t believe a word that came
out the succubus’s mouth, and she was an idiot if she thought he
would.
“And like I said, I disagree.” He extracted his hand from hers.
“People might have been reluctant to trust Alexis at first, but that’s changed now. And I will make sure he is always protected.”
“We appreciate that,” she said eagerly. “But you don’t need to do
it.” Her palm landed on his chest, drawing a line over his muscles, as if mapping them.
Morgan opened his mouth to answer, but he was distracted when
Mr. Whitaker also appeared behind him. “We understand your
scruples, and your friendship is much valued,” he added.
“But we’re sure you’d much rather find someone more beautiful
and more interesting to spend time with,” the succubus purred.
Morgan could feel the power coming from her, the seduction she
was trying to shower him with. As if that weren’t enough, her
husband reached for his shoulder, his hand warm and skilled,
massaging slowly.
They were both shorter than him, and their bodies fit against his.
Morgan’s mind was invaded by sinful images involving the three of
them, bodies writhing together in a tangle of passion. He could almost feel the heat of her pussy squeezing his cock, taste her juices on his tongue. He could smell the scent of the incubus’s sweat, sense the
other man’s ass taking his prick.
And then, at the bottom of his mind, a different picture popped up,
that of Alexis beaming at him, his eyes full of trust and that unique blend of innocence and affection. Everything else disappeared in front
