Her Incubus Master (The Children of Lilith) Read Online Free

Wednesday. Same time. And remember—absolutely no
touching yourself until then. If you do, I'll know. And I'll know you aren't
the right match for me."
    She nodded, and felt him press a card into her hand.
    In a daze, she watched him pay for their tapas and drinks,
then allowed him to escort her from the club and hail a taxi for her.  
    She climbed in, feeling ridiculously infatuated, and he
leaned in for one more quick kiss before closing the door. "Until
Wednesday, Katie. I'm looking forward to it."
    As the cab pulled away from the curb, her only coherent
thought was: Oh God. Wednesday is going to forever to arrive.
    * * *
    Andras' phone buzzed when he was halfway home. He had
decided to walk back to his downtown loft, the cold night air as intoxicating
as the Cava he'd been drinking.
    He pulled the phone out of his pocket and glanced at the
screen. Amanda, of course.
    "So?" she demanded, as soon as he answered.
    "Your pretty blonde friend?" He found himself
grinning as he strode along. "You were right. She has definite potential."
    "So you want her?"
    He chuckled. "Amanda. We're meeting again on Wednesday,
and that's all I'm going to tell you. How did your date go?"
    Amanda made a rude noise. "He loved to hear himself
talk. Next!"  
     

2. Katie Finds Release
    "Katie!"
    Andras opened the door to his loft apartment, located in
what had formerly been the city's factory district, but was now a trendy
neighborhood with lots of upscale restaurants and bars. The old factory
buildings now housed at least three successful startups, and at least eight
other companies on the verge of making it big, as well as several hundred
loft-style apartments and condominiums favored by the young and the hip.
"I'm so glad you came."
    He sounded sincere, and his pleased smile made Katie's chest
feel funny—in a good way.
    Since their first date on Saturday evening, she had been
simmering with anticipation.
    The first half of the work-week had crawled by every bit as
slowly as Katie had known it would, the memory of that incredible kiss
alternating with occasional moments of Oh God, what have I gotten myself
into?
    True to her promise, Katie had buried her vibrator at the
bottom of her linen closet, under a pile of her guest towels. She had been so
turned on when she arrived home that it had taken all of her self control not
to use it.
    But she found Andras' command exciting too, and badly wanted
to find out whether he could fulfill all the sexy promises he had made.
    Amanda's ecstatic reaction to the news that Katie had
enjoyed herself on the first date, and that there would be a second date,
hadn’t helped Katie's nerves. But mostly, she had been looking forward to
seeing Andras again.
    Feeling self-conscious, she'd even gone shopping at Coup de
Foudre, an extremely expensive lingerie store that claimed they had something
to make every body shape look sexy.
    Katie now dreaded the arrival of her credit card bill, and
hoped that her quarterly bonus would cover the expense. But it had been so worth it, and if things went well tonight, she'd go shopping there again, even
if she was forced to dip into her new-car fund...
    Her trusty little Toyota had already been used when she
bought it right after graduating from university, and it was still running
reliably, but years of fighting for a parking spot on the city's crowded streets
had not been kind, and it wore a collection of dings and scrapes like
battle-scars.
    Rushing home after work to take a quick shower and get
dressed for her date, Katie had looked at herself in the mirror, admiring the
deep teal shade of her new lingerie, which made her skin glow like ivory, and
set off her blue eyes and short blonde hair. And the new bra and panties were
really sexy, in a very tasteful way.
    Even if she wished that her tummy looked more toned.
    Andras ushered her inside his apartment, which smelled of ginger
and curry. She looked around in admiration.
    "Would you like quick tour before dinner?"
