Thaddeus grunted. “There's always a bloody ton of souls trying to pass through the gate.”
A shiver rocked through me. I knew how Hell worked, but certain things that never bothered me before were eating me up inside. The souls of the damned weren't friendly souls. I knew that, but for some fucking reason, I had empathy swirling around my chest at the thought.
I created the demons. I fucking helped and taught them how to torture the damned, but it didn't sit well with me anymore.
Maybe because I had grown up as a human for twenty years and got to know some souls that would be damned, but how were twenty human years more impactful than the ten millennia I’d spent before?
"You okay, love?" Thaddeus asked, coming closer.
I shook my head, snapping myself out of it. "Yeah, of course. I'm fine."
The portal swirled, and Bran and Orenn came walking through it.
My eyes rolled. The twins were fucking trouble makers, but that was why I hung out with them so much in my younger years.
Bran had medium-length brown hair with brown eyes, and he smirked when he noticed me sitting on the bed next to Blaise. “Lilith, it’s been fuckingyears. You look as delicious as ever.”
“Your horns are gone?” Orenn pouted, running a hand through his black and white split hair. His bright blue eyes darkened as they dipped down to my chest. “They were sensitive too.”
Aziel slid into bed next to me and snaked his arm around my waist to pull me close. “They were pretty sensitive,” he purred, twirling a piece of my hair around his finger.
“Still fucking your guard?” Bran asked. “We heard these vampires were part of your harem too.”
“Gotta say, good choice.” Orenn bit his lips as he scanned over the guys. “Have room for two more?”
“No,” Thaddeus growled.
“I wasn’t asking you, grumpy ass.” Orenn scoffed before his gaze met mine. “Come on, you know we can fuck good. Everyone will be satisfied.”
Heat rushed down my body as explicit memories rushed through my mind.
“Blimey, Poppy!” Blaise popped up out of bed. “I didn’t need to see that.”
“See it?”
“Power boost,” he grunted, shooting a glare my way.
Cool power boost.
A lump formed in my throat, and I swallowed it hard. “Fuck. I’m sorry.”
“Did you see us take her at the same time?” Bran bit his bottom lip. “She loved that.”
Kai let out a frustrated huff of breath before Blaise had used his vampire speed to pin Bran up against the wall. “Don’t fucking talk about it.”
“Did you see what she liked us to do with her horns?” Orenn thrust a hand through his hair with a look filled with desire. “Fucking hot.”
Thaddeus had pinned Orenn in the next second. “Shut your mouth, or I’ll rip out your bloody tongue.”
“Guys, stop.” I rubbed my forehead. “Bran and Orenn are just being dicks. They like riling people up.”
Aziel snorted, arms tightening around me. “You vampires are easily riled.”
Kai’s fist clenched together at his sides. “We aren’t inclined to share her with anyone else.”
“You don’t have to,” I said. “Bran, Orenn, get the fuck out of here.”
Blaise let go of Bran, pushing toward the portal. “Who’s watching the bloody gate?”
