“Raziel?” her voice echoes through my brain. I look at Conah and without saying a word, he and I disappear into the void.

Damn Demons
Nasiah
“Nisha, will you please stop making fuck-me eyes at my bodyguard,” I chuckle.
The moment my cousin showed up and laid eyes on Erazel, she was smitten. I was off today, and after being locked up in the house for three days, I needed some girl time with my cousin.
Don’t get me wrong, being around Raziel is fine, and I can’t seem to get enough of his dick, but I needed the fresh air.
I was thankful that Erazel was sent with me. He’s sitting behind us at the small table.
“You’re not the only one who can get some demon dick.”
I toss my head back and laugh. “I told you, Razzy isn’t a demon. He’s basically a fallen angel.”
“Even better. He can anoint this—”
“Don’t even finish that,” I warn before we both laugh.
I take a sip of my drink. Tanisha clears her throat, letting me know that whatever she’s about to talk about is going to be serious.
“So, what’s going on?” Before I could respond, she holds up her hand. “Before you lie and tell me nothing, just know, I’ve known you all your life and I know when something is wrong.”
I sink back into my seat. “I have a lot going on.”
She lifts a brow. “Like what?”
For a moment I thought about not telling her but quickly tossed away the concern. I quickly run down all the details about the attack and everything that Raziel explained to me about how death marks work. The more I talk the angrier Tanisha got.
“Who the hell would do that to you? I mean, I know Rochelle can be a bitch, but do you think she would stoop that low?”
I sigh, shaking my head. “I don’t know. She was angry with me about J, but this seems low even for her.”
“What is Demon Boo doing to protect you?”
I don’t even try to correct her about calling Raziel a demon.
“Well, for one, I can’t travel without a bodyguard. He’s also monitoring and limiting where I go. Apparently, he has the wall between the dimensions around me blocked off. He is doing everything in his power to keep me safe.”
He tried to explain how the void worked and how he locked it up around me so that not everyone could just pop out in front of me. Honestly, he has done everything in his power to keep me safe except lock me away.
“Seems like he’s handling it. What’s the problem?”
I glance over my shoulder at Erazel. His attention seems to be on everything around us. Leaning forward, I lower my voice.
“Do you think I’m moving too fast? The other night, we were…” I pause, not trying to put all my business out there in case someone is listening. “Talking.”
She smirks at the term I decide to use for sex.
“And there was a moment when he was looking at me and talking so damn good that I swear I wanted to tell him I loved him. And it felt so right. Tell me I’m crazy.”
She tilts her head to the side. “If I’m understanding this thing between you two correctly, you’re basically his mate. He tied you to him the day he saved your life, right?”
“Yes.” I wasn’t sure where she was going with this. I explained it all to her the day she showed up at my shop.
