I grabbed my legs and bent my body in half, but it forced Luc to let go of my breasts. He braced himself on the headboard beside my head.
The new angle took me over the edge. My orgasm broke and every muscle in my body clenched. My pussy clamped down on Lucifer's cock as he thrust as deep as he could go. Moaning my name, he lowered his head to mine.
When my body relaxed, the stress went with it. I could handle this. I could find my daughter. I knew in my soul that it would work out.
I would make it work out.
Luc laid on top of me, panting, for several seconds. "Did you get enough?" he asked softly in my ear. "I couldn't hold back to make sure."
My hands glided over his sweaty skin as I hugged him. "I did. It was exactly what I needed."
He propped himself up a little and looked down at me. "You sure? I can use my fingers to make you cum again."
Laughing, I pushed him up. "I'm sure! I would tell you if I needed another orgasm." He pulled out of me, and I wiggled back on the bed. I'd have to wash this cover, for sure. It was covered in our juices and the angel's blood that was starting to dry on my skin. "Shower. Come on."
We went into our large bathroom together. Connie and Lucian had insisted on a huge shower, so we were able to take one at the same time under the dual heads. We talked about our next steps as we washed.
With my newly unlocked power, I summoned Gabe and Michael. They waited patiently for their turn to shower. "Did you have to do that right then?" Michael asked. "I mean, that very second? Joel was still there."
Luc cracked an eye as he washed his hair. It occurred to me as I lathered mine up that I could've cleaned us with my magic, even changed our clothes.
I still had too much human in me. Plus, showers just felt nice sometimes.
"I had to do that right then," Lucifer said. "I can't have my real body, and the pleasure it brings, so don't begrudge me having her after watching that incredibly sexy display of power."
We all roared with laughter. Lucifer finished his shower before I did, so he got out and Michael got in. He pressed a kiss to my soapy lips.
"This high from getting my powers, killing Vincent, and fucking Lucifer isn't going to last forever," I said after washing the soap off. "We need to get moving." I worried I'd crash, and either be very tired or worried about Ariel. At the moment I felt like I could handle anything.
"Can you unlock my powers?" Luc asked.
"I can try." I finished rinsing and stepped out of the shower so Gabe could hop in. As soon as I was dressed, I turned to Luc in our bedroom. He'd stripped the bed while I grabbed clothes.
Focusing on his aura, I watched it flare to life. Oh, the many colors of his soul. The majority of the cloud around him was gold. Golden auras were exceedingly rare. White was the rarest, and I'd only ever seen one other angel with a white aura. My Michael. Silver was as rare as gold, and Gabe was blessed with one. So was Raphael, though now I had no idea what color his might be.
I regretted not seeing the color of Ariel's sweet little aura but pushed the feeling aside to focus on Luc. He, unlike Michael and Gabe, had many other colors weaved into his soul. He'd killed. He'd maimed. He was the Lord of Darkness. Like me, he was more than one color.
My aura was also gold, but just as flecked with the rainbow as Luc's.
I traced his aura to the center, where the core of his power lay. But something blocked me from reaching it. I probed, cut, hammered, and pushed at the core with everything I had. Finally, panting, I had to stop.
When I let go of the magic showing me Luc's aura, I realized my efforts had pained him. He'd collapsed on the bed with a tortured expression on his face.
Michael and Gabriel stood beside me, shouting, with their hands on my arms. Their towels had fallen off their waists.
"Luc." I ran forward. "Are you okay?"
He groaned and sat up. "Yeah, I am now." He shook his head as I yanked him into my arms.
"I'm so sorry," I whispered. "I didn't realize I was hurting you."
"It's okay." He disentangled himself from my frantic hug and put his hands on my face. "Thank you for trying." I looked on in shock as he pressed a kiss to my lips. Definitely Lucian behavior. Not Lucifer.
"If I'd been in my real body it probably wouldn't have hurt, but it is what it is. Now. We've got work to do." He clapped his hands together. "We have three names. Gabe, you and Lilith go look for one, and Michael and I will look for the other two," he said.
"Actually," Michael said. "It's not that simple. I'm pretty sure Uriel is in heaven. And his betrayal will be an enormous blow to the angelic forces." Uriel was another Archangel. "It will take both Gabriel and me to bring him to heel."
"I want all Raphael's followers in that barn. I'm giving them to my Queen." He looked back at me with dark admiration in his eyes.
