Elias turns his gaze to me, pursing his lips. “Raven said she offered you a deal.”
Tipping his head back, Dante laughs. “Not a deal. She bribed us, and the only reason we agreed, since she will let us fuck her any which way we please regardless, was because I want to know where the fuck you learned your hunting skills from. Not many mortals know how to create a demon trap.”
I whack his shoulder. “You think I’m going to let you fuck me again now? That kind of comment is not the way into my pants.”
Dante play-hisses and flicks his tongue at me. “Don’t worry, pretty soul. I have other ways to ensure it.”
Micah slams his hands on the roof of the car. “That’s enough. We’re wasting time better used on other things with this arguing.” Glaring at Elias, he adds, “You better figure out a way to get us in. I know you have it in you.”
Elias scrubs the back of his neck with his hand. “How about a compromise? Raven can go with me since I won’t have to break the shields and—”
“No!” all three devils say in unison.
I hold my palms up at my devils and turn to Elias. “That’s not going to happen. I’m still learning to protect myself, and you’re in no shape to promise to keep me safe. The last thing we need is for one of the demon hunters to get killed because they invaded this imaginary devil claim bubble surrounding me.”
“There is one other way to get them inside without too much trouble,” Elias admits, shifting on his feet, probably feeling Kase’s hellfire more intensely than I do as it crackles and dances a bit uncontrollably around our feet.
Kase releases another bout of hellfire, his devil form begging to break free, causing him to flick embers toward the ground. “We don’t care about fucking trouble. Get us in or we’re changing plans. I sense a horny fucking angel nearby.”
I automatically peer around the street but don’t catch sight of Andre. “Don’t make me remind you of what you won’t get if you break the deal. Come on, Kase. It’s his dying wish.”
Dante narrows his eyes. “You wouldn’t.”
I drop my arms to my sides and place my hands on my hips. “Oh, I will. I’ll even tailor what I had planned to do for Elias.”
Micah steps closer, looming over me. “He can’t handle anything in his current condition.”
Braving the devils, Elias tightens his jaw and offers me his hand. “You know what? I might just take it instead. Even if my body can’t handle her like when I was healthy, it would be one helluva way to go.”
I tip my head back and laugh, purposefully pulling Elias to me and spinning him away protectively. “Don’t poke the beasts. They will not only spank me, but I’m pretty sure Dante would spank you too.”
“And it wouldn’t be with my hand.” Dante expands his wings, towering behind me. “Though if you’re Raven’s soulmate, then you might enjoy it.”
Fuck. Me. Now I can’t get the visual from my mind. The only man I’ve ever seen Dante with is Kase, and he gives him dominance. But thinking about Dante using his control on Elias? I don’t know how I feel about that. I’m willing to see though...but maybe not like this. I’d be a bit worried about Elias’s fragility. And I’m suddenly feeling rather protective. It’s strange.
“I’ll pass.” Elias snuffs out my curiosity. “With my luck, you’ll kill me with my ass out, and that’s not the way I want to go.”
“I wouldn’t let him spank you to death,” I tease, laughter lightening my voice.
“Just to the brink. Raven has to be the one to take your pathetic life.” Micah crosses his arms, his words wiping the smile from my face.
Whipping my attention to him, I glower. He really has something out for Elias if he’s willing to risk my anger to say something we hadn’t even told Elias about yet. Something I’m not sure I can follow through with, especially the more I get to know him. He’s not as douchy as I thought he was.
Kase swings his fist and punches Micah in the gut hard enough to send him reeling. Striding between them, Dante creates a wall with his wings, stopping the impending fight. I step forward, but Elias laces his fingers through mine and tugs me back.
“Come on. We have to go,” he mutters, tightening his grip on my fingers. “They’ll never let us go without them, and I’m not sure I want to introduce the rulers of Hell to my family.”
I flick my gaze to the three devils, still focusing on each other. “I told you, Elias. I can’t go without them. It’s not worth the risk.”
“Please, you have to trust me. They won’t hurt you.” Tugging my hand, he hauls me with him, forcing me to walk or eat shit on the ground. “We’ll be in and out in just a couple minutes. I don’t want to stay long. I only want to say goodbye to my best friend.”
I purse my lips and slowly nod my head. “Five minutes.”
“You can stay by the door,” Elias says, nodding his head.
I stop resisting and let him guide me along. Like Kase senses my sudden recklessness, he growls and lassos me with his tail, yanking me away from Elias. I screech in surprise, landing in Micah’s arms. Fire lights his gaze and he shakes his head in annoyance.
So I kiss him.
