“Esne bene?” Fen asks in Latin.Are you okay?

I snort. “Lassus.”Tired.

Then, I feel Hazen’s fingers run through my hair next to my ear. I don’t have time to feel uncomfortable or stiff. His fingers feel amazing running through my strands.

I glance over, seeing Hazen’s hand buried in Asura’s silver curls, but his eyes are on the movie.

She saved me from falling to my death at the academy. She then called to her demon, speaking to it like I would speak to someone else. Either way. She saved me and got hurt in the process… But not as bad as other people would be.

All I can think about is her hand on my body, warming me. I’m like a teenager going through puberty, because she’s only the second female to ever touch me.

She was brave enough to, but I think she knew I wouldn’t burn her badly. She took a beating that day, and she could have let me go, but she didn’t.

She is stronger than anyone gives her credit for.

Inarian bumps me, making me look up. I am staring at her. I sit up straight, moving back to the movie.

Fucker let us in her house… Why would she do that?

Her soft breathing tells me she’s asleep. “Is she okay?” I ask Ledger softly.

He cocks a brow, looking at me. “Yeah, why? You care about her?”

I scoff. “Let’s not get over our heads here.”

“Why is she so damn out of it?” Inarian asks.

“Just overworked from the attack. I’m sure she’ll be okay,” Hazen mutters, glancing down. He’s fallen hard for her, even though she has the carefree attitude that she belongs to and loves no one.

Inarian doesn’t think she’s capable of love or being the heir. He thinks she’s just some spoiled heir that gets her rocks off on being edgy and different. He might be right about that. She could have taken us in as charity, but it’s a place to stay, even if it's the King of Hell’s house.

He seems nice. The Devil. Shocking, really. He loves his daughter. She’s hit it big, huh? Great Dad, Princess of Hell, money. She is set for life. She will never be like us and know what it’s like to lose people or be truly alone. I was alone before Hazen. Hazen was the talkative idiot I didn’t want to be friends with. Yet he protected me more times than I can count. He’s someone I can rely on.

He truly cares about me. I care about him.

And Asura is going to break his heart.

She’s already fucking Ledger, now Hazen. She’s one of those girls who can play with people’s hearts, right?

I sigh, leaning back. This is going to be a long month. I need to find a Soul Reaper before anything else. And I can’t with her in my way…

She shifts, drawing my attention. Her tan skin is a bit flushed, and her full pink lips are in a soft line. Her round, heart-shaped face makes me want to grab her and kiss her. Her shorts ride up just a tad on her thighs.

My feelings about her are so fucked up. I’m so back and forth with them. I’ll play with myself tonight, once, and then move on.

“Diaboli.” My father’s voice causes me to stir.

“Mhm?” I mutter. I had fallen back asleep again.

“Tempus est surgere, diaboli.” He shakes me.Time to wake.

Okay, fucking alarm clock.

I groan. “No.”

“It’s dinner time.”

Already?“What did you make?”
