Except, no, not really.
Because Lucifer wanted Ajax to mate him.
How the hell were we going to counter that?
CHAPTER 8
AZ
Ihanded Cami a cup as soon as she reached the living area, the coffee fixed to her preferences already by the helpful gargoyle.
She took a sip and moaned, the sound going straight to my dick.
We’d only fucked once. I needed more.So much more.
Ajax did, too.
He’d enjoyed taking my ass, his desire to do it again humming between us.You can take Cami’s ass next,I told him.While I fuck her pussy.
He nearly choked on his coffee, his dark eyes finding mine.I’m never going to get used to you being in my head.
I shrugged.I’ve been there for weeks, Ajax.
Yes. While I thought you were imprisoned and your bird was in charge.
Why is now different?
Because I know the truth,he replied, still looking at me.Or at least what truths you’ve told me.
I’ve confided everything,I told him.If there’s something I’m missing, I’ll share it. You can ask me anything.
He swallowed, then set his cup down.It’s going to take time to trust you, Az.
I know,I admitted.
But I’m sorry for… using that spell.
I grabbed him and pulled him to me, not caring at all that Melek and Cami were in the middle of saying something about food.
“You didn’t know,” I told Ajax out loud. “But I did know what happened to you with Constantine, and I still held you captive. Forced you to watch. What I did was worse. Much worse. So don’t apologize to me. I’m the one who owes you the apology.”
Ajax gaped at me. “Okay.”
“Okay?” I repeated.
“Okay,” he echoed.
“I’m sorry.”
“Okay,” he said again.
“I know you don’t forgive me, and you don’t trust me, but I promise never to do anything like that to you ever again. I might be tied to Typhos, but you… you aremymate. You and Cami come first.” I meant it. I might owe Typhos an eternity of gratitude and loyalty for what he’d done, but Ajax was mine now. Cami, too. I’d always put them first.
It was why I’d closed off Typhos.
He wanted my mate.
MyAjax.
