“Your queen.”
I blew a breath out through my nose.“My Queen.”
“I see you looking at Commander Dani.”She placed a hand on her hip.“Did you think you were going to get with her tonight?”
I clenched my jaw.
“You have me, or did you forget?”
“I’m here strictly for business.”I sipped my drink.“Don’t you think it would have been rude of me not to attend a party for a recent addition?”
“No, I?—”
“Of course you didn’t.A true queen will have to do what she has to do to keep us safe.”I tilted my head.“Speaking of … have you found any other information for me?”
She huffed.“The Two-Faced Prophet ordered them to try to steal the Crucifix again.It will happen in two days’ time.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
“That’s not enough.A queen should have more information than that.”I pushed her in the direction of her kingdom.“Go find it for me.”
“And what have you done?”
Eros leaned over the bar next to me, looking incredibly alluring.His dark hair lay messily in his face, and his eyes were full of lust.“Everi.”He nodded.“Lucifer.I need to chat with you.Hateto steal you away.”
I could smell the Passion Delights on him already.He was five or six down.
Everi grabbed my arm, trying to claim me.“I was talking to him.”
Eros’s eyes darkened.“Just for a moment, Everi—that’s all.”
I shooed her away.“Go find me what I need.”
With a Passion Delight in one hand, Eros led me to the other side of the room.He held the door for me to exit into the hallway.In a moment, he had me pushed up against the wall.His cock was pressed against my backside.
“I’ve been thinking about you all day,” he said against my neck.
I chuckled under my breath.Eros was back.Finally.After months of this shit, he was back to his usual self.
He grabbed my hand and placed it on his crotch.“I’ve been hard since you left this morning.”His breath reeked of alcohol.“I couldn’t think straight.”
My cock hardened against my pants.“Of course you couldn’t.”My hand traveled up and down his length.“You haven’t been thinking straight for months.”I turned in his embrace, pushing my hardness against his.“You can’t live without this.”
His eyes drifted to my lips and darkened.Completely black with not even a hint of lightness or goodness in them.He wanted to devour me, and I would let him.
“Says the man who turned to my woman to get me back.”He brushed his thumb against my lip.
I moved closer to him, my nose grazing against his.“I used your woman to get to you?Is that what you think?”
He shoved me against the wall and grabbed my collar, lips hovering over mine, and finally,willingly, he pressed his lips to mine.
Someone walked through the door and stopped.
“I guess I’m just in time,” Dani said.
