“We’re not done,” he breathed against me, and I opened my eyes, gaping at him.
He was still thick and hard inside me, and I was limp, worn out with pleasure.
He flipped me over, thrusting back inside me in a way that made me clench around him. I lifted one hand from where I’d buried it in the pillow and waved it lazily in the air.
“I guess I’ll just lie here and take it.”
Teeth scraped my neck, and I shivered, a laugh bubbling from my chest. He slowly pulled out, then plunged back in, lifting my hips to hit the spot that made me gasp.
He slid his hand beneath my hips, sliding down to the wet heat of me, and I climaxed, a shocked groan ripped from my throat.
His arms tightened around me as he thrust a few more times, then gasped my name against the side of my neck as he pulled me even closer.
I collapsed onto my stomach. He followed, lying next to me, one hand lazily trailing up and down my spine.
“Don’t even think about it,” I warned him. “You wore me out.”
“I’m sure, over the next several centuries, we can work on your stamina.”
I lifted my head, just enough to give him a filthy look, and he pulled me into his arms. “You were delicious.”
“I meant what I said. No feeding from anyone else.” The thought made me want to get violent.
“Deal.”
I nuzzled into him, exhausted again. Tomorrow, we’d get back to work. We’d plan our revenge, put together our strategy to finally kill Lucifer. But for tonight, all I wanted was to fall asleep here, in his arms.
Samael kissed my forehead. “Go back to sleep, little witch.”
I yawned and closed my eyes, something that felt a lot like contentment radiating back at me from the other end of our bond.

SAMAEL
We slept on and off all day, until I reluctantly pulled myself from my bed the next morning, moving slowly and quietly enough that I hoped Danica would continue sleeping.
There was work to do, and then I planned to wake Danica myself, indulge in a late dinner, and fly with her over our city. For now, I wanted her to rest.
She wouldn’t be pleased if she learned I was concerned for her health. But a few days of sleep and food and she’d be back to her usual self.
I showered in one of the guest bathrooms, well aware that, if Danica woke, I’d be unable to resist dragging her under the warm water with me.
My mind was still in bed with Danica while I shook out a small portion of food for the cat. Vas had fed her when he dropped her off, but if I ensured she had a full belly, she wouldn’t wake Danica up with her yowling. Lia wound her way around my legs in a way that made it clear thatIwas her favorite, regardless of what Bael and Vas liked to think.
By the time I got downstairs to the main conference room, Ag had gathered everyone I needed, including my inner circle and the demons who remained bonded to me.
Everyone went silent as I walked in.
And then, as one, they dropped to one knee, bowing their heads.
“Rise,” I said. “We have much to talk about.”
Awareness tickled at my mind, and I turned. Danica stood in the doorway. She was dressed in jeans and a sweater, a sleep crease on one cheek and a scowl on her face. She carried a canvas bag, and she’d armed herself with her blades.
She’d never looked more beautiful.
“Is there a reason you decided to hold this meeting without me?”Her voice was cold, but I caught the tiniest spark of hurt down the bond.
