I cut him off with a kiss, knowing that if this conversation continues, we might get into a fight that leads us right back to passion, and the devils need us. I know what Lucian’s doing. He thinks he can manipulate me, but I’m mostly immune to his dickish behavior.
Lucian reacts by moaning under his breath and picking me back up. I ease away and lock his attention to me with my eyes, watching as the fire diminishes, leaving me drowning in the dark depths of his gaze.
“You are really going to make me take you back?” Lucian asks, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth again. “You know it could be another week until we get the chance.”
“I can fuck you whenever I want.” Reaching down, I brush my fingers to his cock, pressing against the material of his pants. “I don’t need to follow any schedule. You know the rules.”
“Fucking fine, Ray. I’ll give you what you want now, but next time we are doing things my way. I will make sure those assholes know that they need to figure out how to deal with their own shit when I’m not around.” Lucian summons hellfire and throws it across the floor, opening a portal to the Mortal Realm.
“As long as it works the other way around, Satan. I want things to be fair.” I grin at his glowering reaction.
But he doesn’t argue. Instead, he exhales a smoking breath and jumps with me into the portal. The world blurs, and I screech at the sensation of falling. I will never get used to traveling between Hell and the Mortal Realm. It’s disorienting.
The ground rumbles, and vivid light blinds me. My heart sinks into my stomach as we land in the middle of a ring of fire in the center of a bar.
“Lucian, watch out!” Dante yells, his voice echoing around me. “Incoming. Bastard guardian.”
Neither of us gets a chance to react as the angel flies toward us.
We fall back into Hell.
Chapter 4
DANTE
Battle Plan
“IF YOU WOULD have come when we summoned you, Raven wouldn’t be knocked the fuck out, you asshole.” I wring my hands together, staring at my pretty soul as she lies on her stomach in the middle of my king bed.
“She was going to let me fuck her. You damn well know you would’ve ignored me too.” Lucian clenches his fingers into fists.
I fucking hate that he’s right. I do ignore him all the time. But it’s different for me. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. I don’t give a damn.
“You need to get over yourself, you asshole,” I say, meeting Lucian’s eyes with a glare. “We have more important things than you getting your dick wet. We need to find out what the fuck is going on. The angels should be leaving us alone.”
“Have you considered that they are just trying to get all of us to return to Hell and to leave the Mortal Realm for good?” Lucian asks, his smug-ass tone digging under my skin.
Of fucking course I thought of that. I thought of a lot of things. But something inside me screams that it’s more than the little bird bitches wanting us to go back to our kingdoms. No, they definitely have something plucking their feathers.
“Don’t you think he thought of that? You are stupid as hell if you think he didn’t.” Kase stands in the doorway of my room and whips his tail at Lucian. “We aren’t dumbasses, you fuckhead.”
I grin at Kase and flick my tongue out at him, showing him my appreciation for standing up for me.
“Well, I thought you two were smart enough to handle shit while I went and got Raven. How was I supposed to know that you two were missing a couple of brain cells from fucking each other senseless?” Lucian tries to step forward and closer to Raven, but Kase wraps his tail around Lucian’s ankle and pulls his feet out from under him.
If Raven didn’t release the most pathetic, cute whimper I have ever heard, I’d kick Lucian in the nuts. We all freeze and turn our attention to our pretty soul. She groans and arches her back, stretching her arms over her head. And damn, does she look sexy as her smooth stomach peeks out from her shirt.
I saunter across the room and plop down on the bed beside her, pulling her into my arms and hugging her. She blinks a couple of times as she tries to process what the fuck is going on. The quick relocation from Hell to the Mortal Realm and back to Hell fucked with her soul.
“Hey, pretty soul. How are you feeling? What can I do for you? Do you need water? Something to eat? I could just cuddle you for a bit until your body realigns, if you like.” I stroke my fingers over her cheek and smile, waiting for her to realize that she’s in my arms.
She doesn’t respond right away, but she doesn’t break her stare from mine either. Kase joins us on the bed and kneels behind her, rubbing his hot hand up and down the length of her back.
“What the hell happened?” she asks, inhaling a soft breath. “Are you okay? Are any of you hurt? Where is Lucian?”
Fucking hell. The cocky son-of-a-bastard loves the fact that Raven asks about him. Jealousy sneaks up on me, and I flare my nostrils, trying to keep it in check. I thought I was over Raven showing others affection and attention. But damn. I’m not used to this. I knew that I’d be sharing Raven, and I knew Lucian would get a part of her too, but I feel as if he still needs to do a lot more to earn her concern.
“I’m right here, Ray.” Lucian steps closer, a smile widening on his face. “I’m okay.”
