Tears pool in her eyes as she looks at the guys sitting around the room. “Boys! My babies! I’m so glad you’re safe.” She rushes to Levi and pulls him up from his chair, wrenching him into a fierce hug. She runs her fingers through his hair, messing it up, then brings both her hands around to his cheeks, pinching them together and making him do duck lips.
Ryker snickers, and Lilith quickly kisses Levi’s cheeks before she tackles Ryker, doing much the same but rocking him back and forth a few times. Letting him go, she proceeds to a very shocked Knox, who just freezes as Lilith approaches.
“Oh stop it, you big lug. I used to wipe your ass. Now, give your mother a hug. I’ve missed you so much!” She scolds Knox and pulls him into her, and instead of pushing his cheeks together like she did with Ryker and Levi, she just gazes up at him longingly before running her fingers over the tops of his ears. “Are you ticklish like you were when you were a baby?” she asks, and Knox shudders, drawing a laugh out of her.
“Yep, like father like son, I see,” she teases before looking over at Zeke. Zeke looks like he’s about to bolt but doesn’t know where to go.
“Don’t you dare, Ezekiel. The doors are locked, and I’m getting my hug. I’m not chasing you around the room like your toddler years anymore either, so come and get it over with. I’ve missed you.” She leaps and lands right in front of him. He turns bright red as she points out his thoughts and pulls him in for a hug.
She pulls back, looking at all of us with her hands on her hips. She claps her hands, “It’s so good to have you all here. We have so much to go over. Oh! Let me make dinner tonight!” She turns to walk around the sofa when Astaroth speaks up.
“Lil, they were found in the vault. I don’t care who they are to you; they need to be questioned,” he says, his tail whipping out with another little boom.
Does he do that when he’s frustrated?
Lilith whips around, and her face darkens in a second. “Those are my children and their friends. If you lay one claw, tail, or point a dagger in their direction, I’ll force you to be my male model and go shopping with me for the next century,” she says, giving him a cruel smile.
“I’d rather have you cut off my balls and hang them from the chandelier for a century than do that,” he growls out, backing away from us with a pout.
“I know,” Lilith sings as she flips her hair. She turns back around and walks toward the back of the room, stopping short to look at Bez. “Oh, Bez, can you show them to their rooms so they can clean up? I’m so excited to have guests… and for them to be my boys! Ah! This is turning out to be a marvelous night!” She claps excitedly and exits the room.
I look between the stunned group and see I’m not the only one confused by that exchange. Levi, Zeke, Ryker, and Knox are all wearing perplexed looks, and JP looks like he’s about to burst out laughing.
I’m sure he’s reading all of their thoughts, so it’s not surprising he’s so entertained right now.
“Is this what our dads were talking about when they said she needed to heal?” Ryker asks.
“It seems she needs more than just healing,” Zeke mumbles as he stares at the spot he last saw her at.
“Um, is that normal?” Lynx asks, looking around the group.
“Is it normal for you not to have your memory?” Knox grunts.
“Wouldn’t know,” Lynx replies.
“Ditto,” Zeke confirms.
“Come,” Bez commands as he turns to leave. A sort of combined shuffle and stomp precede Trometh before he comes into the room, stopping next to Bez. He grabs his chest and gasps for air.
The room pressurizes and my ears pop before Bez can say anything.
Suddenly, in a puff of silver smoke, a creature appears before Bez wearing a black tailored suit. I can make out his white-feathered wings laying against his dark outfit and his messy dark blond head as he straightens out his jacket.
“What was in the vault?” a smooth, silky voice asks, and I shift from the reaction he causes. He sounds like pure sex, and I notice Ryker and Knox glancing in my direction, picking up on my lust.
This dynamic of them knowing when I’m turned on is gonna suck.
I can’t help it if I get excited. I know this is something I’ll have to bring up with them later. I’ll probably have to mend their egos later, assuring them that this delicious man meat before me doesn’t compare to them, but now is not the time.
Bez juts his chin in our direction, and I’m met with piercing blue-green eyes from a model. He’s too gorgeous to be a Demon. His tanned skin seems to glow against his black pin-striped suit, and his five o’clock shadow only defines his angular jaw. His white feather wings remind me of a Sprite, but it’s not until I spot the two delicate horns protruding from his hair that I realize that this is indeed another Demon. Fuck me!
“Hey Rez, you seem to be drooling right there,” Lynx calls out, bringing my attention to him. He points to the side of his lip. “You might want to get that before you slip on it and break your neck.” Lynx chuckles.
‘Are you fucking kidding me? You’re supposed to use this link for embarrassing shit, Lynx,’ I send back to Lynx, but he doesn’t respond, which only makes me somewhat sad and desperate to get him alone to make him understand what we had.
“Good to know you haven’t lost your ability to embarrass me. Thanks,” I deadpan.
“So, kids wound up in my vault?” the Demon asks with wide eyes.
