“River! What the actual fuck!” Storm hollers, grabbing onto his brother, trying to yank him back.
But I don’t let him.
I flick fire at his feet, making him stumble. There’s nothing more that I want in this moment.
River is mine.

Irresistible
River
WhydidIeverfight this? Her. My Riella. Why did I think she’s evil? Someone as beautiful as her could never be evil. There isn’t an evil bone in her body. I need to spend the rest of my days making up for my past attitude with her. I need her like I need my next breath.
I crave her. All I can think about is how this beautiful fallen angel deserves the world, and I’m the one to bring it to her feet and shower her with everything she could ever want. She will know what it’s like to be worshipped by a mortal like me, her sudden affection striking me in the nuts as it weakens my knees.
Her lips caress mine, the softness surely equal to the clouds she fell from. And the taste of her kiss? I could drown in it forever. Strawberries and cream on a hot summer day, the sweet dessert flavor is what I imagine Heaven to be like.
A hand locks onto me, pinching my shoulder. Annoyance washes through me. Someone tries to pull me away from my Riella. How dare they think they can just interrupt us. She chose me. She wants me. I’m not letting anyone get in the way. I’ll cut them down for this.
“River, shit. Come on, man. Get it together.” Storm’s voice whispers in my ear. “I need you to focus. She won’t stop unless you do.”
I don’t give a fuck what he needs. Doesn’t he realize how much I’m the one who needs this? Her?
As if Riella can hear my thoughts, she flicks fire at my twin’s feet, making him stumble. Warmth builds through me with my satisfaction. He can’t have her. She’s mine.
Riella moans and slides her hand down my chest, working her way between us. My balls tighten with undeniable need, her fingers trailing to my hard cock, throbbing against my jeans. I’m so hard and horny. I’m sure I’m going to bust through the zipper at any moment. If she continues, I’ll do more than that. I can’t believe how just her closeness makes me feel as if I’ll bust a nut at any second.
I grab her tighter around her waist and crash my lips to hers again. A war wages between us for dominance, but my little fallen hellion will soon learn this is one battle she won’t win.
Reluctantly, I pull back from our kiss and stare into her beautiful violet eyes. “Let’s go somewhere we can be alone. I want to show you what it’s truly like to be with a man like me.”
She nods and gives me the most beautiful smile, her eyes lighting up with the fire building within her. I wouldn’t even care if it consumes me. I’d die a satisfied man. “Whatever you want.”
Before I can even grasp what’s happening, I’m torn away from my fallen hellion. I turn to take a swing at whoever pulls me away. I clip the side of Damien’s jaw, and he grins at me like a devious asshole.
“Is that the best you got? I’ve always figured hunters would pack more of a punch. That was weak as fuck. No wonder you were the demon bait, Princess Waterway.” He sneers at me as he tries to drag me away from Riella.
I swing my fist, missing him by inches. “You pompous spawn of Hell. You want a real fight? Then let me go and I’ll give you a real fight.” Except I don’t plan to fight. I plan to run back to Riella. She’s more important than proving this demon wrong.
I try to turn and get out of his hold, but he’s much stronger than he looks. Then I realize that’s because he’s feeding off the lust I have for Riella. No. That can’t be right. It’s not lust. I care about her, but how? When did that happen? I mean, I’m not blind. She’s gorgeous and ethereal, so perfect physically, but when did I decide I had to have her? When I last checked, I hated her, or at least I hated the idea of her. She’s hell-bound.
Damien. It has to be fucking Damien. I’ve heard of demons like him, and Dagan forced him to show his true form and power. He had to have done this to us as a way to gain more power and weaken us.
Dagan uses him against us, which means we can’t truly trust him. He’s too easy to manipulate. He could be bowing to Dagan before any of us—he might have done so already.
The realization finally sets in and breaks the hold of the lust spell. Or at least most of it, because I still can’t help thinking of the way Riella’s lips moved against mine...the way our tongues tangled together like a sensual dance for dominance.
No! I can’t afford to think like that. It’s just the incubus trying to take down two of Heaven’s blessed warriors for Dagan.
I use my anger to unleash my strength, breaking free of his hold on me. Swiveling around, I charge for him. I’ll knock him on his ass and shove my blade toward his black bleeding heart.
Looking confused as hell, Damien throws his hands up in surrender. “Wait! Stop! You need to get her out of here. Now! I can’t control myself in this form. It’s been too long. I can’t…” Damien’s voice cracks, his hellish form igniting a blip of fear inside me. It’s enough to send my adrenaline rushing.
“You son of a bitch! I knew this could never work. You’re too far lost to the pits of Hell and Dagan’s influence. You don’t deserve to walk this plane. I’m fucking sending your ass to the deepest depths of Hell!” I pull my angelic blessed sword out and crash into him.
Storm, holding Riella back as she’s fighting, glowers at me. “River! What the fuck man? What the hell are you doing? He’s on our side.”
