Aurora:
Dad, please. What do you want?
I hated to call him Dad, but I knew how much it pleased him.
And I knew how much it pleased him when I begged.
Demon:
You, Delilah. As always.
Aurora:
How do I get them back?
Demon:
Come find me.
That wasn’t a trap at all.
“Who are you texting?” Stellan demanded.
“No one.”
Stellan reached to take the phone out of my hand. I fought back, but he pinned me with his muscular body, and we ended up wrestling across the bed. He finally kissed me, which was playing dirty, and I got distracted kissing him back. Stellan’s lips were soft and tender, and he looked at me like I was his whole world when he kissed me.
Then the asshole ripped the phone out of my hand and sat up against the headboard.
“Jerk,” I said.
“You’re texting the Demon?” He raised his eyebrows as he handed the phone back to me. “And then what?”
“There has to be more we can do to get them back,” I pleaded.
“Yeah, but there’s only one thing the Demon really wants. You. You can’t play his games. “

“He’s going to try to manipulate you into giving yourself up.”
“I know.”
Stellan raked his hand through his hair. Then he gestured at the phone. “As much as I want to protect you… I believe in you, Aurora. But nothing more than texts.”
I pounced on him and kissed him again. God, he was the sweetest. When he wasn’t kidnapping me. “You might be my favorite!”
He scoffed. “You say that to every one of us.”
“You take turns being my favorite.”
Give me a hint,I texted the Demon.
I expected us to enter another round of negotiations. Probably negotiations written in blood.
So I was surprised when a text dinged back.
Demon:
