Chapter 308: The Fourth Deadly Sin

The feeling of gentle fingers stroking my arm woke me up, and I couldn’t help but groan.

"Careful, Starshine," purred a voice behind me, and I couldn’t help but stiffen.

"Shouldn’t you be with the good doctor, having multiple babies?" I sneered. I contemplated rolling over for a split second but then wondered why I would be punishing myself. I was enjoying Salvatore’s hands on my skin, treating me like I was something precious.

"You’re sounding jealous, Little Queen," chuckled Salvatore softly, his hot breath causing goosebumps to appear on my skin. "I think I like it."

"I am jealous," I agreed, rolling over so that I could look at the man behind me. It really wasn’t fair just how gorgeous he was. I mean, how was I supposed to stay angry at him when he looked at me like I was the only one in this world?

What made it even worse was that I couldn’t blame the doctor for being a simpering idiot over him. But that just made me all that much more pissed.

Just because I could understand it didn’t mean that I had to like it.

"Maybe I should carve up your face," I muttered under my breath as I looked at his perfect complexion. His skin was so smooth that my fingers were naturally drawn to it. "Make you have just as many scars as me. Maybe that way, you won’t have so many women panting after you."

"Okay," agreed Salvatore with a nod. "Did you want to do the carving or me?"

I blinked at him, my brain trying to process his statement. "Shouldn’t you be arguing with me?" I asked, confused. "If I really loved you, I shouldn’t want to hurt you like I am picturing in my head."

Salvatore shrugged his shoulders as he placed a kiss on my bare shoulder. "Why would I argue with you? If that is what you want, then that is what will happen. Besides, I would wear any marks you gave me with pride, knowing that all my brothers were envious of me."

Once again, I blinked rapidly before shaking my head. "No," I sighed. "While I might like the idea, my heart hurts even thinking about doing it."

Salvatore nodded his head before kissing my shoulder again, this time just a bit closer to my neck. "My body is yours," he said softly, punctuating the sentence with a kiss. Tilting my head to the side, I gave him more room to keep going. "If you want to carve me up, then all I can do is submit."

"What happens if I don’t like the idea of you submitting to me?" I hissed. Okay then, clearly I hated that idea even more than I hated having Salvatore hurt.

He moved so fast that I couldn’t process what he was doing. One moment, we were lying side by side, so close that our noses were almost touching, and the next, I was lying on my back with his hand around my neck.

"I think you are a bit confused," the Envy demon murmured slowly as he pressed down on me from above. Every time I tried to move under him, his hand tightened just a bit more.

Père had had me in this same position, but what I was feeling right now was nothing like how I was feeling back then.

"Ah, ah," tsked Salvatore, his fingers tightening just enough to knock me out of my head and back into the moment. "You don’t need to be in your head, Starshine. All you have to do is concentrate on me."

Humming, I nodded my head. For some reason, his hand didn’t invoke fear but comfort and security. I really didn’t want him to ever move it again. Letting out a long breath, I sunk even further into the mattress.

"That’s my perfect Starshine," purred Salvatore, gently kissing my lips for a second before pulling away. "But back to our conversation."

"We were having a conversation?" I murmured, my brain drawing a blank. The last thing I wanted right now was to have a conversation.

"We were," he agreed as he nipped at the column of my neck gently. "Submission."

Once again, I hummed as I closed my eyes, soaking in the man on top of me.

"Whatever you want to do to me, I will always submit to you," explained the demon as he kissed the very center of my throat. "You are the best part of me, the only part of me that I care about, and if you need me to be something or do anything, then I will. I am yours. Period. But part of being yours is knowing what you need and how to best take care of you."

His words were wrapping me up in a cocoon of earth as I feel deeper and deeper into his spell. Showing off his strength even more, Salvatore ever so slowly lowered himself down even further until our chests were touching.

"I, Envy, the Fourth Deadly Sin, submit everything to my maker." It wasn’t until there was a bright light between our bodies that I realized that he had merged our souls together.

Unlike Pride and Lust, he didn’t give me the ability to reject his soul. "And you are mine," he continued a satisfied smirk on his face. "I will submit to you in every way possible, and you will submit to me... in only one way."

The moment he breathed out his last word, his lips took mine in a plundering kiss, one that screamed his devotion to me so much more than his words ever could.

Shifting a bit, he spread his knees so that they were on either side of my hips. I was still pinned down, his hand never leaving my throat, but now he was able to bring his other hand out to play.

"If you need me to stop," he started, his voice turning harsh with desire. "Just say the word."

"Don’t stop," I breathed out, my eyes searching Salvatore’s. "I need you to not stop."

"Your wish is my command," Envy purred, his eyes flashing as he took me in. "And I do so love obeying your every word. Tell me, Starshine. What do you want me to do to you?"
