“I may be overworking my demon powers,” I bit out.

That truth left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was Lilith. Simple demon abilities shouldn’t wear me out like this.

Aziel set his jaw. “We should consult a seer.”

“No,” I said a little too fast.

“What do you mean, no?” Blaise edged forward, caging me in with a hand on the table in front of me and a hand on the back of my chair. “If something’s wrong, we need to figure out what.”

A sigh escaped my lips. “Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that this body isn’t fully demon. It takes more out of me.”

Kai shook his head. “It’s bloody weird that you talk of your body like an inconvenience.”

“It’s not that.” My throat tightened. “Appearance wise, the only actual difference is that I don’t have horns. I have the same life essence, but I’m part vampire now. My demon abilities are at full power, but this body has a hard time keeping up. It’s hard. The part of this body that used to be human isn’t an inconvenience. It’s the only thing that binds me to my family.”

Aziel’s eyes softened as he slipped into the chair next to me. “I understand. We’ll have to give your body time to adapt to the power it holds.”

“And if it doesn’t?” Blaise let his arms drop as he sat in the other seat next to me.

“Then we’ll have to discuss what to do then,” Thaddeus said.

I smirked at him from across the table. “You’re my new favorite.”

The rest of the guys huffed, and Thaddeus chuckled.

“I’ve missed this. We’ve been in Hell less than a week, and our breakfasts and dinners were something I looked forward to. Let’s do them again. I miss them.”

Blaise nodded his head. “I did too.”

“Me too,” Kai added, filling his plate.

“You know I did,” Thaddeus said as he filled his.

“I would much rather have Lilith all to myself for breakfast and dinner,” Aziel purred, his warm hand on my thigh.

My back straightened as heat rushed south. Lust seeped out of me before I could contain it.

“Stop touching her during dinner,” Blaise snapped, his silverware clinking against his plate.

Amusement danced in Aziel’s eyes as his hand slid up my thigh more, sending tingles of desire through me.

I bit my lip and tried to contain the lust.

“She may not be blasting lust, but she’s still turned on,” Kai muttered. “He’s still touching her.”

Aziel’s smirk grew as his fingers brushed my throbbing center through Thaddeus’s boxers.

I let out a moan, unable to think about anything but Aziel’s passionate touch while the rest of the guys stared at me.

Each fucking one of them were turned on too. Aziel pressed harder, and I let out another moan.

Blaise squeezed the end of the table so tight it cracked a little.

Kai bit into his fist.

Thaddeus’s gaze bore into mine.

Aziel kissed my temple as he rubbed between my legs.
