Except I can’t.

It’s my life and eternity. It’s my time.

I won’t just stand by and allow Lucian to steal everything from me.

He might be a force of Hell, but I’m a force of humanity. I have my stubborn will and determination. My faith.

It’s all I need.

Hell will rise as it should, putting Lucian back in his place, even if it takes me until my final breath. Purgatory will be mine.

Epilogue

Soul Crushed

RAVEN

WARM ARMS SLIDE around me, and I turn onto my side, meeting Andre’s gaze. Stars light up the night sky like thousands of diamonds. I can’t stop the smile crossing my face. I’ve missed seeing Andre outside of flames. But now? He’s here, visiting me in my sleep.

“Miss me, little hellion?” Andre asks, stroking his fingers along my cheek. “Because I’ve missed you. I’ve missed all the hours you’ve denied me of filling myself up on the pleasure our bodies together can bring. I suppose this dream will do for now.”

I bite my lip, tingles blossoming from the spot on my cheek his fingers caress and to the rest of me. “It will have to. Kase told me what can happen. You survive on my desire and lust not unlike the incubi demon you freed last week.”

“Someone must do my bidding,” he teases, a smile lighting his velvety brown eyes. “Until you’re ready.”

“I want to. I’m just...I don’t know. So much could happen.” I graze my lips to his, relishing the sensation of his exhilarating darkness tangling with my soul.

“Let me show you it’ll be worth it.” Andre rolls on top of me, planting his hands on each side of my head. Bending down, he crashes his mouth to mine, kissing me with enough passion to set my body off.

The sensation steals my breath, and I gasp in the fragrant air that turns me on without Andre even touching me yet. And what the hell? What is this magic? Is it the dream or Andre? Whatever it is, a strange desire courses through me, and all I can think about is fucking his brains out. My clit aches, my body in desperate need of relief. Andre hums and arches up, extending his nails a bit to shred my clothes right off of me. His features shift, his jaw turning sharper and more angular as hard plates sprout across his cheeks in a deep onyx color like armor.

“You want me, little hellion, don’t you?” he murmurs, his muscular body bulking up as he pushes away and slinks around me. Then I notice his extra-appendages jutting from his sides. Whoa. It’s strangely seductive and a bit frightening. Not because I’m afraid, but because if he’s anything like Kase and his tail...damn.

I stare in surprise, his devil façade massive and rock-hard, his ribbed tail arching up and over his head like a scorpion. Bulging veins snake over his body gathering between his thighs to set his cock aglow in a way that entrances me. It’s unlike anything I could imagine, the glowing flesh hardening to point at me.

My body zings at the sight, and Andre uses his two hands to stroke the length, but instead of growing, it returns back to what I know of him in his mortal form.

“Turn over. I want your ass in the air,” Andre says, his crude demand weakening my knees. “It’ll be easier this way.”

“To do what?” I ask, squirming, my whole body out of whack with all-consuming desire.

“Do it and find out.” Andre strokes the length of his cock again.

Doing as he says, I roll over and bow, sticking my ass into the air. He mounts me, his cock sliding between my legs without going in, and he tightens his hands around me, pinning me in place. Just his touch sends pleasure cascading over me, and I pant and imagine what it will be like to let him fuck me doggy-style and if it’ll hurt. Because damn. I’m about to take a pounding.

“Are you ready?” he murmurs, aligning his body to mine. “I’ll go slow.”

I hum my agreement, digging my fingers into the strange spongey ground of my dream world.

My muscles spasm with my sudden orgasm, the intensity knocking Andre away from me.

I jolt upright, my body humming, the blanket under me wet with the lingering ecstasy aroused in me by Andre. What the fuck? Damn. He gave me a wet dream that affected my reality, and I clench my thighs together, a moan escaping my lips.

I blink my eyes, trying to orient myself to Lucian’s room, the fog of lust consuming me. I expect to see him staring like a perv from his bed, but it’s now empty. I’m alone and on the floor where I fell asleep since I refused to climb into bed with the cocky bastard.

“Raven,” a soft voice whispers. “Raven, wake up.”

I rub the heels of my hands into my eyes, clearing away the sleep. I spot Zade flying outside the open balcony door, flapping his wings to stay in place.
