“Fuck, I missed you too.” His fingers were going to leave bruises on Galilee’s hips. “She feels so good, Morningstar.”
Galilee slipped a hand between her legs, and Lucifer grinned as he saw it. “Your poor little clit,” he said, holding his dick tight at the base. “Are you going to come again, Galilee?”
The King of Hell was still fully dressed, not a hair out of place, while she and Leviathan were sweaty, desperate messes. Galilee couldn’t answer, not while her body climbed toward another climax, Leviathan’s brutal thrusts driving her into the bed. Lucifer glanced up at his prince.
“She’s going to come again, Levi.”
“Good girl,” Leviathan growled, not letting up the intensity.
Galilee let her head drop onto the sheets, and Lucifer snapped his fingers.“Look at me.”
Tears spilled from her ignited eyes and evaporated instantly. Her body began to shake. Leviathan pushed his thumb into her ass and fucked her even harder, electricity gathering at the base of his cock, sharp and wild. Galilee broke apart, and Leviathan locked eyes with Lucifer as he cursed and pulled out of her, stroking himself quickly until he was coming in warm spurts over her back, his breathing harsh and jagged. Waves thundered over him, and the Devil gasped in the chair and came looking right at his prince, pearled fluid splashing over his gold rings.
I love you,he mouthed at Leviathan, and Leviathan’s heart cracked all the way open with a feeling so sharp he couldn’t tell if it was pain or pleasure.
Galilee had collapsed on her side. “That’s enough,” she gasped, her eyes rolling to the ceiling. “Y’all tryna kill me.”
Leviathan just stared at the Devil he had adored since forever, as the ashes of their scorched love resurrected over Galilee’s skin.
26.
Galilee
The light coming through the windows was noonday harsh. Galilee was clean again, wearing one of her oversize T-shirts from her apartment as she sat in the bed, her legs folded under her. Leviathan had been in the shower for the last fifteen minutes, and Lucifer was sitting on the floor next to the bed, one knee pulled up and his elbow resting on it as his fingers played in his dark curls.
“Leviathan’s avoiding us,” he said.
Gali raised an eyebrow. “Y’all seem to have some history there,” she noted.
The Devil gave a ghost of a smile, tinged with sadness. “I betrayed him once,” he said. “I seem to be good at that.”
“You mean your plan for my soul?” Gali twisted her mouth. It had stung at the time, but it didn’t have the same bite now. “First of all, I damn near killed you for that, so I’d say we’re even. Second, you used it to keep Michael away from me. It all worked out, Luci.”
Lucifer huffed softly. “Fair enough.”
Gali stared at him for a bit, her eyes tracing over his hooked nose, his lovely mouth. “What happens now?” she asked.
Lucifer tipped his head back and looked at the ceiling. “I suppose we should return to Hell,” he answered.
Thatstung to hear. Sure, she’d been planning to return to her own life, but that was before everything they had just shared, and she had a good reason—her life had literally been ripped apart and inside out from this. Besides, Lucifer didn’t even know she was planning to leave, and clearly it didn’t matter. He wasn’t eventhinkingof staying for her. He’d plotted for hersoul, and now he was talking like this had just been a fling. Gali looked down at her hands and twisted her fingers, trying not to be hurt that he could walk away from her so easily.
“Sounds good,” she lied.
“Shit, I hope not.” Lucifer frowned at her. “Weshoulddo that, but I don’t particularly want to. I doubt Leviathan feels differently.”
Gali’s eyes shot up to his, and the Devil grinned at the look on her face.
“Oh, so youdocare if we stay or go.”
“Fuck off,” she said, but it didn’t have much heat to it. “Don’t you have things to take care of in Hell?”
“I always do. Doesn’t mean I can’t spend time topside.”
“Perks of being the king, I guess?” Gali was trying hard to sound casual, like the outcome of this conversation didn’t matter.
“Exactly.” Lucifer watched her, and the gold flecks in his eyes gleamed. “I want more time with you, Galilee Kincaid. I want more than just a handful of hours stolen in the middle of a crisis. I want to learn all the small things about you that your human friends already know.”
Gali watched him right back. “Even though I was just a weapon aimed directly at you?”
