I did, and his hot cum hit my tongue, most of it spilling on my nose, cheeks and chin. I swallowed what I could, but I was so close myself that I could barely focus, could barely breathe. I cried out when an orgasm like no other took over my body, almost making me disconnect from the here and now. Paz came deep inside me, and it struck me that I finally belonged to them, now, to all of them. Body and soul, with not a piece of me that they hadn’t yet claimed and fucked.

I fell on my face, exhausted. My four lovers cuddled with me – a pile of arms, legs, and too much hair getting into everyone’s mouth. Someone pulled a duvet over all of us, but it didn’t work out great since it was made for two people, and we were five.

“You knew, and you were never angry with me for lying to you?” I asked.

“Hmm… you just omitted a few things, didn’t straight up lied to us,” GC said.

“You did what you had to do,” Sariel added. “It’s okay. We know it wasn’t easy.”

I sighed. I fixed my gaze on the ceiling. A few dark spots were proof that insects had died there by the hand of some former occupant. Deluxe suite my ass. The truth was that Paris wasn’t great when it came to hotels. Now that I was more than well-traveled, I knew there were places in the world that actually understood what luxury meant and did it right. But Paris had its charm.

“I ruined someone’s life,” I mused. “I know I did. But somehow, I’m not sorry. Because it was the only way out for me. For us.”

“It’s not your fault the only weapon that could kill Morningstar was not a blade, or a gun, or poison.”

“A little girl…”

“Hey, don’t beat yourself up.” Sariel ran his fingers through my hair, soothingly. I moaned, aroused by his touch. He grinned. “Again?”

“Again.”

EPILOGUE

She came to me as I exited a rundown building in the South Bronx. Drug overdose. Usually, Neutral Reapers dealt with these cases, but I was called instead, so I did my job. I jumped down the last few steps casually, waiting for blade of my scythe to glow red for the next reaping, hoping it would be somewhere nice and sunny this time.

“Mila.”

I looked up. She stood before me, tall, slender, and beautiful. Her hair looked darker in the faint light of the dirty streetlamps, but it was her.

“Mom?”

“My baby!”

She opened her arms, and I hesitated for just a second before running to her. I abandoned myself into her warm embrace and didn’t fight the tears gathering at the corners of my eyes. It felt like I was hugging her for the first time in my life. Since I couldn’t remember her holding me as a baby, this was the first time.

“You’re here.”

She buried her nose in my blue hair. “You know I’m not really here.”

“You’re trapped in the other dimension, I know. And I can’t do anything about it.”

She held me at arm’s length. “It’s okay. I can visit you whenever I want.”

“Why didn’t you come see me? Yolanda told me you’ve mapped all the inter-connected dimensions, and you can go anywhere you want. Why did you leave me?”

She smoothed down my hair. “Baby, I couldn’t. You thought I was dead, and you had a new family that could offer you a normal life. To barge into it would’ve been selfish of me.”

“No.”

“I want what’s best for you. Always have. And look at you now.” She beamed. “You’re a Grim Reaper!”

“I am.”

“I’m proud of you. And as much as I would’ve loved for you to live as a human…” She paused, then continued with newfound determination. “To be a human… I must admit that the idea of you living forever does give me some peace of mind.”

“You know…”

“That you’re a revenant? Yes.” She kissed my forehead. “Yolanda told me. It’s okay. It’s not your fault. You did what you had to do to survive.”
