The next moment, I was in Axel’s arms. “I won’t let you die,” he said. “Let me take the burn for you. If we die, we die together.”
The merciless fire leapt from me to him, eager to find a new host, even though it still roasted me.
Agony twisted the handsome face of the Demigod of War, but he suppressed a scream and only held me tighter.
Shock slammed into me, despite the awful fire still inside me.
I’d never expected anyone, least of all a demigod, to do this for me, even though he’d brought me to this stage in the first place.
A demigod would never sacrifice himself for a mortal. They were notorious for being the most selfish, self-serving bastards on the planet.
But Axel was ready to die for me—or with me.
“No.” I struggled in his arms. “Just kill me.”
“Perhaps with our combined powers, the fire will distribute among us instead of burning her alone,” Zak said, and he embraced me, too.
Then I felt the Demigod of Sea join us.
“What are you doing?” Theodore shouted. “You’re the immortal demigods, but you can still be killed. You can’t waste your lives for a girl you barely know.”
The demigods let the fire burn them as well as they kept pouring their power into me to shield me.
A stream of cool air coursed through my veins.
Then, all of a sudden, the fire vanished and the burning ceased.
I slumped in Axel’s arms, still murmuring about haunting them as a vengeful ghost.
“Stop babbling, Cookie,” Axel whispered. “You’ll live. You survived.”
Who was Cookie? Were there cookies around?
“Cookies?” I choked. “I want one. And where am I?”
“In my arms,” he said, and then he kissed me.
I didn’t know what had gotten into me, but I wasn’t in my strongest state or my right mind. I didn’t resist him, even though I still hated him.
The Demigod of War tasted me as if I was the most delicious thing he’d ever tried.
I liked his pure male scent, like the wind and the burning stars—even though I’d just gotten burned.
I stretched against his hard torso, threaded my fingers into his rich brown hair, and grabbed hold to anchor myself.
Our kiss deepened, and instantly, liquid fire twirled between my thighs.
I vaguely remembered that I wasn’t wearing panties, but I didn’t remember why I hadn’t put them on in the first place.
A new kind of desire seared me, unlike anything I’d experienced.
I arched my back and pressed tighter against my enemy, knowing that I wanted him more than the world.
A rough groan rumbled from his chest.
Axel’s lust slammed into me like hard steel and nectar at once. He was the Demigod of War, so even his desire was warlike, yet it turned me on like no one ever had.
I’d become a Marigold I barely recognized.
