Why can’t I move?
Valory knelt before me, and all I wanted was to lift my arms.Instead, she reached out to me, her fingers grazing over my cheek, down my jaw, and the faint spark from where her fingertips touched me spread through my veins like wildfire, until the world was bathed in light.
Gold, white, suffocating and beautifullight.
Soft fingertips shocked my skin, a touch that felt less like fire, and more like electricity.
My cock twitched in my pants, clearly awakened by whatever burst of lightning had transcended unto us, and my body feltheavy.
Silky hair tickled my chin, fingers gripping at my shirt as warmth burrowed against me.
I was jolted awake as I remembered where I was, and who I was with...yet when I looked down, expecting to see Mercy in my arms, curled against me, I did not.
In fact, Mercy was gone, and in her place was the pain in the ass angel, curled against me, digging her fingers into my shirt as she snuggled me like a damn teddy bear.This close to her, the smell of cake batter and spice was overpowering, making my stomach twist with hunger, and my cock twitch.
But I did not have time to cuddle with the enemy, even if she did feel comfortable in my arms.
Where was Mercy?
I shifted my weight, shaking Valory.
“Val, wake up,” I whispered, even though I knew we were the only ones in the room.My blood chilled as I surveyed the room for any sign of struggle, human or supernatural, but there was nothing.
No traces of sulfur, grace, or monster-like trails.We were well and truly alone, and that was a problem.
I swear, if she has decided to go off without us...
Valory’s eyelashes fluttered as her sapphire pools took in the sight of me, and because I had the worst luck in the world—not to mention the most persistent cock with a mind of its own—that was the moment it decided to make its attractions, its ill-fated desire known bythrobbingagainst the comfortable pocket of warmth between us, just centered against her groin.Her white, beaded dress had ridden up to her hip, exposing a clear expanse of golden skin and thigh that was most tempting.
I gently pushed her away, backing myself and my unruly cock as far away from her as I could get.
Bad idea Endor.
Bad fucking idea...
I didn’t miss the blush on her cheeks, or the way she pulled her dress down, the unmistakable scent of arousal perfuming the air like some thickening toxin.
Like poison.
I grunted as I adjusted my cock, speaking through my teeth once more.
“Where is she?”I growled, my hackles and my wings moments away from rising.
“I don’t...”Valory sat up, brushing her hair behind her ear as she looked around the room frantically.Her neckline dipped, exposing her ample cleavage and I silently cursed the sinful beauty of the angel in front of me.
Combined with her innocence and her obvious arousal, it was like denying the best dinner of your life, served to you on a silver platter.
But we had bigger fish to fry than that of a forbidden enemies to lovers tryst that would undoubtedly end in disaster.
Although perhaps if I was close enough, I could persuade her to concede.Persuade her that Mercy’s fate is better off with Hell, with me.
After all, manipulating the strings of fate would be easier if we...
I shook my head, forcing that idea out of my head.As badly as I wanted to slay the pretty little unicorn angel with a new bonus of smiting power—even if it was purely because of curiosity and nothing more—the fact of the matter was Mercy was my first priority.
Well, Mercy, and my future.
Which were intertwined nicely enough.
