That was my only chance to tell her the truth.
“You don’t need to steal something that already belongs to you.”
I kissed her as we swayed to the music, until it stopped.
She broke away, and then she grinned, holding up my wallet.
“You little devil, you,” I teased as I made to grab it from her hands.
She smiled slyly as she bit her lip, opening my wallet—the stolen wallet from her mark—and threw some money on the bar.
“You said we all have a choice, right?”she said as she slid the wallet in her back pocket.
I slid my hands in my pockets.“Yes?”
She gazed up at me, biting her lip.“Then I’m giving you a choice,” she said.She took one step back, then another before turning around and giving me her back.
I watched her exit, knowing exactly what she was asking when she looked over her shoulder, flashing the most seductive gaze at me I’d ever seen.
Demons be damned.
I did not chase her, nor did I run.
I walked, slowly in her wake, letting her lead me to our room.
When I opened the door, she grabbed me.
She pulled me to her, her lips finding mine like a missile.
There was a hunger in her kiss that I couldn’t deny, nor did I want to.
Her fingers grazed the edge of my jaw as she pressed herself against me, backing me against the door.
I traced her hips with my hands, sliding my palms down the sides of her thighs as she pressed her breasts against me, opening her mouth for me in the sweetest surrender.
I slid one hand over her hip, grasping her jean-clad ass with my fingers, and I groaned into her mouth.
I knew I should stop while I was ahead, if only because this would not change a thing.
Judgment still awaited us, and the repercussions of my severance would be dealt to me swiftly upon our ascension.I knew that.There was no escaping what I’d done, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
If there was one thing our celestial kind could agree on, it was that no one, angel or demon, could fight fate and cheat death.
But that was exactly what I had done.I had pushed back against our kind’s oldest law.
And that itself was damning.
I broke our kiss, if only to look in her eyes.I’d never known the ocean, or the bright blue sky in the way humans took for granted.But I thought I didn’t need to, because all the wonders of the universe existed in the way she looked at me.
Valory looked at me like Iwasthe seventh wonder.
Like I was not a demon, or a man, but simply love itself.
“We should rest,” I told her, my cock straining against my pants, my heart in my throat.
I wanted nothing more than to ravish her, to love her in every sense of the word.
I had never wanted anyone the way I wanted Valory.
