I turn my gaze away from him, afraid that the new softness in his eyes will persuade me without giving me a chance to weigh the worth of such a deal. On one hand, I find a little soul touching not as intimate as fucking. But then again, shouldn’t I force him to suffer at least a little bit of pain for his actions?
“I...I gue—” A bright light at the front window steals my attention away from Lucian, and my heart skips a beat. It’s Zade. I know it. The sudden urge to go to him consumes me more so than getting answers from Lucian. Maybe this is a sign. Obviously it’s divine intervention, and I can’t ignore it. Not after seeing Zade’s expression while watching me beat the shit out of Lucian with his own chain. “I’ll think about it. I’m sorry. Maybe had you just asked me instead of withholding something I want to know, I would’ve. But right now? I want you to think about everything. Like I said, you’re the one making things difficult.”
I hop to my feet, not waiting for him to respond. Dashing away, I run through an entertainment room and head toward the back door. I don’t want Lucian to chase me out front. This will get me a bit of time to put some space between us to clear my head.
I hesitate near the back door for a moment, listening for Kase, Dante, or Micah, but I think they’ve gone upstairs or have moved to the huge office where the three of them like to discuss demonic affairs. I know Micah will be listening to ensure I’m safe and will only come if I’m not. Lucian will have to get to his feet to get them, and I’m not so sure he can.
I shudder at the reminder, forcing the darkness clinging to me away.
Right now, I need a bit of angelic light.
So I race out the door and call Zade’s name.
But he doesn’t come. It’s not him. It’s not Cassius either.
A tall angel with golden wings scowls at me, raising his flaming sword.
