“I want more than for you to jerk me off. I want to fuck your face until your throat is sore. And then I want to hear you rasp my name and beg for mercy as I spank you until your ass is the same shade as Kase’s Hell power.” Lucian grasps my chin, holding me in place as he kisses me with hot passion, his mouth searing me in a way that leaves me gasping and my lips swollen.
“You say that like it’s some sort of punishment.” I shift and get on top of him wiggling my way back until his hard cock taps against my ass, but I don’t let it stop me. I stretch up and over it so it rests between my legs and I can unbuckle his pants and pull it free.
He grins at me, adjusting his arms to rest his hands behind his head. Cassius plops on the bed beside us, unfazed by the fact that I pull Lucian’s pants down even though we were just fucking not that long ago. He’s already accepted that I’m not his alone, and I think if anything, it has brought Lucian and Cassius together.
“Do you plan to watch or are you going to participate?” I ask, peeking at Cassius.
“Fuck no, he’s not joining. It’s my turn. We have some catching up to do. He can watch and help position you how I want. Nothing else.” Lucian dares Cassius to say anything, his eyes flickering with firelight. And the cocky bastard looks hot as hell. I love hearing him boss Cassius around. There’s just something about his aggression and charm that gets me good.
“Damn it. I told them it should’ve been me to get her. What the fuck do you think you’re doing, you bastard? This isn’t bringing Raven home. This is you taking advantage of the situation.” Elias’s sharp words stab through me, stealing the warmth and desire away.
My lip quivers, and I can’t focus on Lucian anymore. I thought I was past this. I haven’t thought about angels since coming here, but now with my soulmate blinding me with his angelic light and looking at Lucian and Cassius as if he plans to smite them, summons sadness from within me. I feel as if I siphon it from my grieving soul even though it’s not on this plane.
Lucian summons his fire whip, sliding me off him. Popping up, Cassius gathers blue fire in his palms, beating Lucian, and he chucks it in Elias’s direction, getting him to fly back and out of the way.
“You’re the reason she abandoned us. Now go the fuck back to the others and wait. I’m not going to drag Raven there kicking and screaming despite how hot she looks putting up a fight.” Lucian grabs me and cradles me in his arms. He touches my cheek, smearing a stray tear. “You hear me, Ray? You don’t have to go back until you’re ready. If you want to suck my cock for a week, I’ll gladly allow you. You have to let me bury my face in your damn pussy at the same time though.”
I groan and rest my head to his chest, imagining what such an adventure would be like.
And as much as I want to experience it, I can’t help looking at Elias again, seeing my sadness reflected at me and his eyes. His ethereal, iridescent wings sag behind him, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought that I already died and was taken to Heaven. His heartache resonates through me as if we share one body in this moment.
“Do what you feel you must, darlin’. Just know that I’ve made my decision. I’m not going to abandon you even though it kills me every second thinking that I could lose you. But you’re right. I should never doubt us. We’re soulmates, and I will never leave you again.” Elias combs his fingers through his hair, shifting on his feet, waiting for me to respond.
My heart thuds in quick beats, and I blink my eyes, forcing my tears away. Knowing how much it hurts him tortures me with a new kind of agony I never knew existed. Because I know that only half of my devils agree with my decision. They love me too much. They can’t stand the thought of losing me as much as I can’t handle the thought of losing even one of them or losing the chance to raise our children.
Which means failing isn’t an option.
It can’t be.
And it looks as if Elias knows that now. He wanted to take the easy way and sacrifice himself like the angel he is, but in doing so, it will only hurt more than it would help.
I wiggle my way free of Lucian, and Elias steps closer, obeying my silent command to pick me up. I stretch my arms out and let him pull me to him for a kiss. I had no idea how much I needed to feel his closeness.
Swiveling in his arms, I glance at Lucian and Cassius remaining in their spots on the bed. “I think it’s time to go home.”
“I’m sure Micah will appreciate not having to hear you guys fucking around the clock. He’s been waiting in his kingdom for days.” Lucian rubs his hand over his bald head as he gets to his feet.
I frown. I should’ve known that Micah returned to Hell and wouldn’t have remained in the summoning circle for who knows how long. I was so selfish in my grief over the situation. Yet another part of me knew I needed this. This short reprieve helped refill my energy and my desire to fuck over Heaven.
“Don’t be jealous,” I tease, wiggling my fingers at him.
“Impossible. I’ve never been more envious of this bastard than I am right now.” Lucian whacks Cassius between the shoulder blades, getting him to follow us. Grabbing my hand while I remain in Elias’s arms, Cassius does the honor of opening a portal to the Mortal Realm.
I expect the rest of the devils to be waiting for our arrival, but Elias strolls into the empty basement. I frown, trying not to show that I’m hurt. I don’t know what I expected. I thought that maybe the other devils were just waiting in anticipation instead of going about their business as if I didn’t run away with Cassius to his kingdom. Childish? Maybe. Immature? Absolutely. I just needed time to think instead of having to deal with the constant fighting.
“Can I have a moment alone with Raven?” Elias adjusts me in his arms, refusing to set me on my feet. “The others are waiting upstairs. They don’t want to overwhelm you, Raven.” Elias kisses my temple, answering my silent question.
“Don’t take fucking forever. We need to work on our battle plan now that your ass isn’t getting tossed back to the light.” Lucian grabs Cassius by his T-shirt and drags him toward the stairs leading up.
Elias doesn’t set me on my feet until we hear the door close, and he drops to his knees, clutching my hands in his while resting his head to my belly. I comb my fingers through his hair, playing with the soft strands. I don’t say anything as he hugs me and kisses my stomach, his love and affection exactly what I need from him in this moment. I’m still upset, but it helps. I know he had good intentions despite how I felt. I’m willing to do the same thing for any of my devils and my soulmate.
“Darlin’, I love you. I love you more than my very existence, and I hope you understand why I considered such an offer. It kills me even to think for another second that Heaven could claim you and take you away from the devils. From our children. I thought that my sacrifice would be worth it if it brought you peace and happiness for the rest of your life and eternity.” Elias sighs and rests his head against my belly, not meeting my gaze. “I also assumed that’s what everyone else would want.”
“You can’t just make assumptions. I love you, Elias. I’ve loved you from one life to the next and the universe brings us together every time. When you died, it still managed to bring you back to me. If it were intended to be any other way, don’t you think that things would be different? You wouldn’t be given to me just to be taken away over and over again. I don’t think the Higher Power is cruel enough to do such a thing.” I continue to play with his hair, just wanting to absorb his affection into my very being as if I can take part of his soul again.
“You’re right. Our paths align perfectly. Even when they deviate from each other, we still reunite. It’s just hard. I’m so afraid, especially with the babies coming anytime. And the hostility from the angelic army doesn’t help. They’re not going to give up.” Elias finally tips his head back and meets my gaze, his eyes watering with his swelling emotions.
“Which is why we have to make them. That’s why we must keep trying to break the veil. We need to work together to get the devils to cross back into Heaven despite everything. We need to learn how to stabilize our existence in Hell. When the angelic army grows desperate enough, they will do some fucked up shit, and you know it. So instead of just giving in to them, we need to show them exactly who they’re dealing with. They’re not the Higher Power. They are not the gatekeepers of souls. They were supposed to have one job, and they’ve deviated from it. We need to get them back in line.” I straighten my shoulders and tilt my head up toward the ceiling as if I can see into Heaven despite it being on another plane.
