It was a burning, a low, constant burning in his nerves, branching through his whole body. It was supposed to feel good, but after a while the pleasure of it leached out and there was nothing left but aching, painful need. Lust was a drug, but it had to be used for it to be effective, not fruitlessly lacing its host's veins with no way out. Devon didn't know how it felt for normal people, but for him, there was only one way to calm down after he'd been using his allure, projecting the raw sexuality that was written into his bones, and that was through sex with another person.

That was the crux, one of the million catch-22's of being a cambion: they inherited the weaknesses of both of their parents. The human half craved the rush, it would be getting off all the time, by itself or with someone else if it could, but the demon half was constrained. Incubi and succubi hadn't been created to be the architects of their own fate. Whatever hellish urges drove them, the ones that included orgasm only came into play when they were fulfilling their purpose, and that was procreation. The rest of the time demons could spend their sexual energy in play, in pain—the raw sense of need didn't overwhelm them, all they felt was hunger once that energy was gone. So cambions were left helpless to their need, burning and unsatisfied until they found someone to spend themselves with.

"Rio," he muttered, so hard in his pants that he was aching. He didn't touch himself; that would just be adding fuel to the fire. "Please... "

"We're close, Dev, promise," Rio said, and he was so perfect and so fucking nearby, it was all Devon could do to keep from crawling along the seat and throwing himself onto Rio's lap. Maggie was in Rio's lap instead, and Devon was irrationally jealous of her. Going over there now would be... bad, though. Bad. Rio might crash the car; he wouldn't be able to see around Devon unless he finished things up really fast, and Devon didn't want to go fast. He wanted this to last a long time. Fast and then slow, fast and slow, fast and then slow all over again. So he had to wait. He could wait. He could do it.

Deep breaths. Devon tried to remember what his dads had taught him, the best ways to calm down when he got like this and there was no quick release available. It was so hard, though. When he'd been younger he'd had to learn to live like this for weeks at a time, but it had been different then too. Less intense, easier to handle. It had
