The Reapers wanted her to see. She was a witness.
And they blocked Rylee to protect her.
“Tilton was Doyle’s best friend.” Rachel shook her head. “I didn’t know what he did. I never knew he was hurting children or that Doyle would try to give him our daughter.”
“There’s no way you could have known,” Hannibal told her as he approached us. “Even we didn’t see it all until the Reapershowed us. Crypt’s Reaper is a memory keeper. He reverses them on our prey.”
My chest puffed with pride.
“This makes so much sense now. All the club secrets and the rumors. It’s all clicking into place.” Rachel seemed a bit overwhelmed, but I sensed she could handle it. “I’m in awe.”
“Of the Reapers?” I asked.
“Well, yes, but all of it. I’m terrified but also fascinated. It was the most amazing and horrifying thing I’ve ever seen.”
I had to agree. My gaze shifted to Hannibal. “My Reaper no longer feels agitated. He’s calm.”
“That’s how you know there’s no longer any threats nearby,” he explained. “When you feel it next time, you’ll know what it means.”
Good to know.
“Congratulations, Crypt. You reaped your first soul. Lucifer will be proud.”
The devil got a nasty one, that was for sure.
“I’m going inside. Rylee gets up early, and I need sleep.”
Hannibal entered the cabin and shut the doors, leaving us alone.
Rachel was staring at me. “He winked at me.”
Huh?
“The Reaper. That part of you. He winked at me.”
He did?
“I think he wanted me to know that he’s a part of you and nothing to fear.”
My chest rumbled as the Reaper agreed with her assessment.
“It’s a bit odd, but I think I like it.”
My mind became flooded with sexual images, all of Rachel. Her legs spread wide. Pussy wet and welcoming. Her ass in the air as she climbed on the bed, staying on her hands and knees. And fuck, her mouth open and waiting for my cock.
“Oh wow, you’re turned on.”
She could tell? “Yeah.”
“Then you need me.”
“I really do. Right now.”
“Then take me to the lake and let me ride you in the moonlight.”
I didn’t have to be told twice. Scooping her up, I tossed her over my shoulder, slapped her ass, and fulfilled her every wish.
