My financial advisor has my money in places that I don’t even know about, making me more money as Selene and I continue to live our lives the way that we see fit. With that money, I was able to buy Selene the fortress that we live in—the only place that was dark and fitting for the god that I worshiped.
The morning sky is cloudy and hazy, with the threat of rain looming in the air. I pull the car up to the massive house. We had it painted black, and Selene picked out the gargoyles that sit upon the roof. It’s a Victorian-style mansion that looks more like a small castle. From the outside, it looks as if it’s haunted, but the only two things haunting that house are Selene and me.
I hit the garage door opener, pausing the car outside as the door slides up. Pulling the car inside, I press the button again as I park next to Selene’s. She hops out without another word as I kill the engine. I climb out, following her into our house. As she opens the door, our two Dobermans bound through it, gathering around her.
Most animals don’t like either of us, given that in every situation, we’re ultimately the apex predators. These two dogs worship the ground Selene walks on, tracking her every movement. It’s a strange phenomenon, watching two vicious animals that would rip an intruder's throat out cower around her.
She’s never laid a single finger on them and given that we both satiate our needs in an evolved way now, neither of us is considered a threat to the two beasts. We got them mainly for protection and to guard the property, but over time, I’ve watched Selene grow fond of them. I told her that they didn’t need names, but she insisted.
She doesn’t develop attachments with anyone or anything; but it's purely ego-driven. She wouldn’t bat an eye or shed a tearif either of them died at any given moment. The only purpose they serve is to build her throne higher, putting her in the sky where she belongs.
Selene pats both of them on the head with as much affection as she can muster before heading to the laundry room. I follow behind her, narrowing my eyes at the two dogs as their gaze meets mine. They both take the same stance, lowering their massive heads as their shoulders rise slightly, the hairs on their backs standing on end. Each begins to snarl, flashing their sharp canines at me as low growls rumble from their chests.
This is the effect that I have on them. Not only do they see me as a threat to them, but I'm a threat to Selene. If only their brains were complex enough to understand that Selene’s just as fucking insane.
“Enough,” Selene growls back at them, her tone low in warning. “Both of you, go lie down.”
Diesel and Khan both cower at her tone, each giving me the side-eye as they trot through the house and lie down by the front door in the foyer. I look back at Selene, finding her with a smirk on her face as she strips out of her clothes and tosses them into the washer.
“They really don’t like you.”
I shrug. “They’re fucking animals. I don’t need them to like me. They’re lucky I don’t kill them.”
“You wouldn’t dare,” she retorts playfully as she stands naked in front of me. My cock instantly grows in my pants. I peel my shirt off my torso and toss it into the washer with her clothes. Selene’s hazel eyes scan my body as I strip off my pants, freeing my erection for her to see.
“Wanna bet?”
She shakes her head. “No, because I know you. You actually would, even though you know that I like them.”
“You like the purpose that they serve in your life, Selene. Don’t go soft on me and act like they’re your fucking children or some shit.”
“Whatever.” She drops the lid to the washer and turns away from me, her perfectly taut ass now in full view for me to see.
“I’m going to go shower. Join me if you want.”
She’s about to take a step away from me when I stride behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist as I hoist her up. “If I want? Don’t play like that, baby. You know that you want me to join you.”
Selene wiggles in my grip, turning her body around to face me as she straddles my waist. Her pussy is hot and slick against my abdomen. She brings her face down to my ear, nipping at my lobe. “Whether I wanted you to or not, we both know that you can’t resist following me wherever I go.”
“And I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth, until we drop down into the deepest pits of hell.”
Selene wraps her arms around the back of my neck, her sharp nails digging into my skin. “We’re already there, baby.”
CHAPTER ELEVEN
SELENE
Rolling over onto my side, I stare at the empty spot where Onyx was when I fell asleep. He’s never been much of a sleeper—he can operate on just a few hours like it's nothing. I, on the other hand, can sleep like the dead. Once my mind finally shuts off, it's game over. While I can go without much sleep like him, I go through spurts when I need at least ten hours to feel like I’m rested.
The black curtains are still drawn closed in our room, and not a single ray of sun shines through. I have no idea what time it is, since we don’t have any clocks in the room. It’s not like it matters anyway. We didn’t get home until after the sun had already risen and didn’t fall asleep until late in the afternoon.
Grabbing the sheet from the bed, I pull it along with me as I climb off the mattress and wrap it around my naked body. The room is pitch black, much like the shadows in the asylum, but I don’t need light to guide me. I know every inch of this house and can navigate it through the darkness.
I step into the hallway, and it’s almost as dark as our bedroom, except there’s a soft glow from the nightlights installed along the baseboards at the bottom of the walls. My footsteps are light, and the floor is cold under my bare feet. Thehouse is silent as I walk down the winding staircase, looking for Onyx.
Stepping into the foyer, both dogs lift their heads, their eyes instantly on me. They’re right where I left them earlier and where I've trained them to stay during the night. If anyone were to get through the gate and try to enter, the dogs would stop them as they came into the house. Or, with how light of a sleeper Onyx is, he might get to them before Khan and Diesel even had the chance to.
“Good dogs,” I murmur as I pat both of them on the head. I can feel their eyes on me as I head down the hallway, deeper into the house in search of him. I already know where he is, but sometimes he surprises me and is just lurking around like he belongs in the shadows instead of in bed with me.
