“Other way,” I clarified.
She turned it upside down and placed it on its hook, right where it should be.After admiring it for a few more moments, she gazed back at me and smiled.“Now, how can I help?”
I knelt by my dearest Envy friend again.“He’s hurting really bad right now.I think you could put him out of his misery, don’t you?”
Dani eyed me for a moment, and then her eyes fixed on the Envy.
He nodded his head.“Please.It hurts.”
“You’re hungry, Dani, aren’t you?”I asked, stepping forward.
She gazed down at the man, her eyes turning black.
He barely was able to shake his head, understanding how Dani really was going to fix him.It wasn’t a secret how strong this half demon, half angel really was.After she had killed Biast’s brother, rumors had spread like wildfire in Wrath.
“No … no … please …” He winced.
“He’s threatening the system.He’s threatened to destroy my people and used yours to help and distract my guards.”I grimaced.“And doesn’t he look like he’s in so … much pain?”I stepped closer to her, placed my hands on her shoulders, and trailed my fingers down her arms.“It would benefit us all if he was gone.”I pressed my lips to her ear.“He will satisfy your hunger for a bit so you won’t drainourEros.”
She took a deep breath, her eyes fully black now.Then she knelt next to the man and pushed him onto his back.
He shook his head up at her.“Please.”
“You used my Lusts for your benefit?”she asked, licking her lips.“I don’t know if you heard me before, but Lusts aren’t there for the benefit of others, especially not people who are trying to hurt the kingdoms of Hell.”
She cracked a smile that looked so sinister it turned me on.“And your lips look so damn tasty right now.”She dipped her head and placed her lips against his dry ones, kissing him hard and passionately while he squirmed under her.
Then, as if he was never struggling, his body stopped moving altogether.
She sat up, throwing her head back.Her black eyes were full of lust.“God, do I love that.”

She stalked toward me,taking slow steps.Like I knew she wanted me to, I backed up until I hit the Altar of Sacrifice.I sat at the edge of it and grabbed her hand.She was still hungry, and I was still horny from this morning.
“Our Eros?”she asked, arching a brow.
“Our Eros.”
“You want to share him?”
“You don’t?”
A smile stretched across her face.She sat down next to me and allowed me to draw her hand into my lap.She made small circles on my leg with her finger and rested her forehead against my shoulder.
“I can tell I’m draining him, and it hurts me so much,” she said quietly.“I hate seeing him like this, like he knows I need someone else to please me, that he’s not doing it for me anymore.”
“And you’re choosing me—your lover’s best friend—to be that person for you?”
She arched a brow and smacked my chest.“That’s the only thing you got out of that?”She sighed and shook her head.“Maybe I should reconsider.”
“No,” I said.
She giggled.“I choose you because you’re strong.”
“No other reason?”
“Nope,” she said, a smile on her face.“And you’re kind of cute—once I get past all the bad parts about you, like your pride.”She shook her head.“But?—”
