The thought rocked through my mind with a vicious confidence that I’d never felt before. The moment I realized my carefully crafted walls had slipped, my eyes flew open in panic. I glanced down to remind myself that I was still more or less fully clothed, and I let out a sigh of relief in Gabe’s mouth.
Even if he was watching, he couldn’tseeme. Not in any way that mattered.
I shuddered and pulled away from Gabe, steadying Hecate with firm hands on her hips.
Gabe frowned at me when I broke our kiss as if he could sense that something was wrong, but I shook him off.
His eyes searched mine, concern ceasing his brows, and I gave him a smirk, hoping to get him to drop it.
Relax. I’m fine.
His gaze narrowed, and I knew, as usual, he could tell I was full of shit. But whatever. I didn’t owe him an explanation.
Hecate was now vibrating in my lap, and her eyes had turned a strange milky white. I glanced at her now slack face as an ancient beat of energy began to fill the room.
Suddenly, any thoughts I had of Raziel spying on me flew from my mind.
I grinned.
“There she is,” I purred, chuckling.
The sounds of her guardians finding their own releases in each other’s mouths filled the room as the mother of witches awoke on my lap, and a wicked sense of excitement welled in my chest.
“She’s waking up.” I grinned at Gabe, and he took a step back, sensing the shift in energy as easily as I had.
Gabe chuckled.
“Funny that having her brother eat her out didn’t piss her off enough to wake her but fuckingyoudid.”
I laughed and shrugged.
“What can I say? I guess I really do have a magic cock.”
As soon as the words left my mouth, Hecate’s head snapped forward, and her all-white glowing eyes slammed into mine. Fury was painted on every line of her face, and her silver hair floated around her in a wave of power.
“You. Fucking. ASSHOLE!” she screeched, and suddenly, I was blasted across the room so hard I slammed into the concrete wall of the basement.
The queening chair shattered, and I laughed as I called my hellcats to me.
Hecate fought me for command of the shadows in the room. Her shadows turned to snakes, a natural enemy of my hellcats, and they hissed and writhed across the floor on the immediate offense.
Gabe was in front of me in an instant, his expression suddenly dark and angry.
My heart twinged slightly when I realized he was angry because Hec had attacked me, and I chuckled.
“Relax, little bird.” I grinned, getting to my feet and quickly zipping myself up. “Let her get it out of her system.”
Gabe’s fists clenched at his side, and his lips pursed, but he nodded and obeyed, stepping aside so I could face the thoroughly pissed-off witch I had just fucked into the land of the living.
Hecate’s magic rippled around her, and her discarded clothing whipped through the air around her in a whirlwind of fabric before stitching itself back onto her. In seconds, she was standing before me in her full fucking glory, shadows and snakes twisting up and down her toned legs.
Each of her chakras ripped open, and her palms filled with warring balls of water and fire as she stalked toward me.
“What the FUCK is wrong with you!?” she screeched, launching a mini fireball at me so quickly I had to leap out of the way to avoid getting burned.
The fire fizzled out harmlessly on the concrete, and I barked out a laugh as I immediately needed to dodge the jet of steaming water she sent at me next.
“What? You seemed to have a good time! You cametwice.You should be thanking me,” I purred, calling more hellcats forward, preventing her from coming any closer.
