“You’ll be boning him by next week. He won’t be able to resist you much longer.” Kase closes the space and slides right between me and Elias, acting like a wall to keep the two of us apart. “And neither can I.” He fingers a couple strands of my hair. “But the fucking mortal jizz has to go.”

I can’t stop laughing in exasperation. “Don’t even start. If you bring it up ever again—”

“No more threats. I’ve had enough of them tonight.” Kase scoops me into his arms and motions to Elias. “Let me take care of you instead. The jizz-master can join.”

“We’ll make it a party.” Dante lands in front of us, folding his wings. “A celebration of our badass soul.”

“Don’t you think we should all sit down and talk?” Micah comes from the other side of the house. “I don’t know how much longer I can manage until we do. All of this unnecessary drama could’ve been prevented.”

Kase and Dante glare, and Kase says, “Fucking fine. We’ll talk. But let’s get one thing straight. If you ever put Raven in danger like that again, I will hang you up by your tail and gut you.”

“Kase,” I say, trying to get him to focus.

“I mean it. This goes for all of you.” Kase points toward the sky. “Do you hear me?” he shouts as if he speaks to the universe. “Don’t fuck with our soul. She’s ours.”

Dante slides his arm over Kase’s shoulder. “And it will always stay that way.”

If only the universe didn’t feel as if it will send me to Hell.

Or that Lucian will eventually win.

“Do you all agree to our house rules?” Dante says, leaning on his elbows with a contract in front of him.

I stare at Kase and Micah as they each nod their heads and sign their names where Dante points. It’s the strangest thing to see, but as soon as I sat down to eat with Elias, the three devils joined us and insisted that the only way this was all going to work was to ensure a new agreement involving me was put into place.

“What about you, jizz-master?” Dante asks, using Kase’s new nickname for Elias as if they’ve been calling him that for all of eternity. “Do you agree to the terms? One dedicated day to Raven, protecting her above all else even if she doesn’t want it, and accepting all punishment on her behalf from now on?”

Elias drops his fork and opens and closes his mouth in surprise. “This bullshit is for me too?”

“Yeah, dickhole. You’re on the verge of getting murdered by that sexy soul, and upon your descent and resurrection, we need shit in place—especially with your greedy ass. I can already tell you’ll be worse than Micah, shouting that she’s all yours because you’re soulmates.” Kase tosses the pen to Elias. “Sign it, or I’ll guarantee you don’t die with a bang. I thought she could fuck you while choking your ass to death.”

Dante chuckles. “Damn. That’s one helluva way to go.”

It’s my turn to drop my fork. “Seriously?”

“What about sitting on his face until he suffocates?” Kase smirks as his tail finds its way to my lap. “I can join you and fuck you with my tail. It’s been a while.”

Linking my fingers to his weird-ass appendage that I’ve grown to like, I stroke the smooth skin until he tugs it away from me. “And it still will be. We are not going to sit here and plan Elias’s death. He might have a particular way he wants to go.” This is fucking morbid. It goes against every last mortal fiber of my being to think about killing him, even if it serves a purpose—shit, even if he agrees. The fear of not knowing for certain what happens to him after makes me want to prolong his life as long as I can. There are three other angels who must fall anyway. Elias can live as long as his body allows.

“Which isn’t much longer,” Micah’s voice murmurs in my mind.

Elias bumps me with his shoulder, drawing my attention back to him. “Come on, darlin’. Don’t let it get to you. His ideas are exactly how I’d love to go.”

I sigh and laugh, shaking my head. “You’re a bunch of pervs. What else is in your damn contract anyway?”

I snatch the thin stack of papers away from Elias the second he scribbles his name. Kase lunges at me, trying to grab me. He locks his hand around my wrist, but I yank away and tumble backward out of the chair. Instead of falling on top of me, he stabilizes himself with his tail. The papers scatter across the floor and I rush to gather as many as I can. Dante and Micah stand from their seats, wicked smiles lighting their faces. They stalk me like the cocky-bastards they are, knowing that I can’t get far.

“Dante, get some restraints. Our naughty soul needs to be tied up for trying to get involved in something that doesn’t involve her,” Kase says, sliding off the table.

“Doesn’t involve me? I live here too. The house rules are my concern,” I say, turning my back to flit my gaze over one of the middle pages. “Especially rule number twelve. I mean, what the actual fuck? You can’t decide on shit like joining in to fuck me when it’s my first time with Micah or Elias or anyone else for that matter.”

Dante’s eyes flash green. “You’re not reading it correctly. It’s only stating that they can’t expect to have your sole attention when and if you choose to bang them.”

I groan. “And what about this? My ass is exclusive to you and Kase?”

“You knew that,” Kase says, wagging his eyebrows.
