I turned aroundand picked up my pants.“Make this quick.”
“If I’m going to give you information, then I need something from you.”
“You want a joss coin?”
She shook her head.“No.My request is actually much simpler.”After plopping herself onto the bed, she crossed one leg over the other.“You.”
Of course.I had given her an inch, and now she wanted the whole fucking world.
Eros clenched his jaw and walked to the door.“I’ll leave you to it.”
He walked out and nearly slammed the door behind him.I groaned and readjusted myself.
“I told you that I’m done with you, Emerald.”
“My name is Everi.”
“Does it matter?”I asked.“Now, what do you really want?”
“I already told you.”She pouted her lips, imitating Dani from earlier.“I want you.”
She gazed at my cock, still hard through my pants.I swore, next time Eros left me like this, he would pay for it.
I rubbed my temple.She’s just someone from Envy, Lucifer.It’s not like she’s ugly, like the demons from Wrath.
“Give me the information, and I’ll fuck you, if that’s what you want.”
She crossed her arms over her chest, but her lips curled into a smile.“I don’t want to fuck.I want to be your queen.”
I scoffed.“My queen?”
Her kind would never rule my kingdom.
She nodded her head like this was a simple request.“Your queen.”
“I doubt the information is that important.”
She hopped off of the bed and stalked over to me.“They’re plotting to take over your kingdom.”
I stared at her, brow raised.“Your point?You Envies are always trying to take what other people have.”
“Their little group has stolen more from the kingdoms than everyone else in Envy put together.”
I walked over to the half-finished bottle of Vemon on the dresser and put it to my lips.Times like this called for alcohol—and lots of it.
“They can go ahead and try.”I winked.“Wish them luck for me, why don’t you?”
She smacked her lips together.Those eyes were gleaming green.“They will use the Crucifix.”
I clenched my jaw, my muscles tensing.This woman didn’t even know the first thing about the Crucifix, and here she was, trying to intimidate me with it.
“Fine.”
“Fine?”She narrowed her eyes.“What’s the catch?”
I leaned against the dresser and flashed her half a smirk.“There is no catch.If you wish to have all of this, then I will give you everything that comes with this kingdom, even me.”
