Together—that felt right.

TALON

Together we helpedAida out of the wedding dress, returning to Magnus’s manor to pack what we needed before leaving. Magnus wasn’t sure how long we had before the vampire council would come. At least he’d told them already that Aida wouldn’t be there and that he was trying to make her come around.

It bought us time to get away.

Opening another gate to Hell, Aida held Magnus’ hand as we walked through.

“How does this work?” Magnus asked, his eyes flicking around the place we once called home. Despite being a creature of the undead, there was a look of uneasiness as he took in everything.

“Each upper demon has a fragmented piece of our father’s soul in each of us. We must return the piece to the throne for the next ruler to claim.”

Magnus’s eyebrow lifted slightly. “Will that hurt? Taking out a piece of a soul?”

“I imagine quite a bit, but I’m used to torture.” As we entered the palace, her mood sobered as she approached the throne. I suspected this was a bittersweet moment for her. On the one hand, during their imprisonment, she’d been left to rule here alone amongst the demons under her charge for several hundred years. But then, on the other, this was the only home she’d truly known, and she was willingly giving it up for Magnus and me.

“Does it make you weaker?”

Aida smiled and then shrugged. “Does it matter?”

Magnus looked at me before turning back to her. “Not at all. Just curious.”

“Perhaps. The piece of the soul itself is what gives me the claim to the throne and the powers that come with it. I am, however, still a descendent of our father, so I’ll likely still be more powerful than most lesser demons who are turned from human to demon.”

“So, you were never once human?”

Aida stopped as she considered her answer for a moment. “No, but I have lived many lives as a human on earth, disguising myself amongst them.”

“This will be your first life without duty then.”

“Yes, I suppose it will be.” She smiled at him before holding out her hand for his. They folded their fingers together, wrapping them up tightly.

“What do you plan to do with it?”

Aida laughed, “nothing at all. I think I just want tofeelfor the first time in my existence.”

Magnus grinned and brought her hand to his mouth, kissing it. “Well, I look forward to helping you feel everything you want.”

“Oh, I have several ideas of the things I want you two to help me feel.” She gave him a devilish grin before she looked at me, the grin growing into a smirk. “Perhaps we should enjoy this moment we have. It is, after all, the last time we all will be together at the height of our power.”

“I have yet to kiss my future wife proper.” Magnus stepped closer, cupping her cheek as he guided her mouth to his. I stood back, observing how her hands lifted to his chest, and she opened to him, her tongue darting against his lips.

Her soft moan echoed around the chamber we stood in, sending a zip of thrill to my cock. Then the rips echoed around us as Magnus tore her clothes apart. His hand cupped her breast, pinching the nipple between two long nails as she moaned louder this time.

“Are you joining us or just watching?” He said, turning his head enough to glance at me.

“I’m enjoying the view for now. Why? Do you need some guidance on how to pleasure her?”

Magnus growled, rolling his eyes. “Hardly. I intend to make her forget every other man she has known when I’m finished.”

I snorted. “Good luck.” There was no jealousy in my tone. I wasn’t worried about what she might think once Magnus was inside her. I could feel it in my bones how much she cared for me now that she understood what her emotions meant. He wasn’t a threat to me as much as I wasn’t a threat to him.

We both wanted the same thing: us and our combined pleasure.

Magnus dipped his head, guiding her nipple to his mouth as he sucked on it, the scent of her blood filling the air as his fangs tore into the soft, human breast. She moaned again, her head falling back as her hand rubbed at Magnus’ head, urging him for more.

“Talon, I need you too …” She whispered, forcing her eyes open long enough to look at me.
