He shifted his gaze back to Ezra, who only nodded.
Eli opened the book, satisfied with the deal he’d struck, and flipped through the pages. Toward the middle of the yellowed chapters, he pulled out a small piece of paper that had been rolled up and tied with black hair.
“This should do it.” Eli held it out for Ezra to take.
Ezra reached out, but his fingers hesitated. Before he could take another breath to fill him with courage, I reached up and took it myself. “We’ll give it to him.”
Eli’s dark-brown eyes bored into me. At first, my stomach dropped because I thought I had overstepped, but when he let out a loud laugh, I relaxed.
“Gaap, this human will be the death of you, but what a spectacular show that will be.” He continued to laugh, and the other men in the room joined him.
“I hope she is,” Ezra said down to me only, pulling my chin up and kissing me.
The laughter died away.
Sitri shook his head then looked at the blond man on the sofa. “Aren’t we all begging for a love so deep that only death herself can sever it?”
Sitri and the blond man both fixed their attention on the woman on the desk, who rolled her eyes at their inside joke, if that was what it was.
Eli scoffed. “Yes, yes. Mutual adoration is all well and good, but you’re all making me ill.”
I couldn’t help but smile at that.
“That spell should help Ipos find what he’s looking for, and I will be calling upon you soon on what’s owed to me,” Eli finished and then vanished into nothingness.
Ezra said his goodbyes to the others and pressed his hand to my lower back to direct me out into the empty nightclub. It was eerily large without drunk dancers grinding their crotches together to the beat of house music.
“I have to go up to San Francisco,” Ezra said as we crossed the dance floor toward the exit.
My chest deflated. “Oh.”
“The bike won’t be comfortable,” he continued. “I’ll have to drive.”
I took one step back from him and held out the scroll. He gripped my wrist and pulled me into his arms, taking my lips with his and giving me a burning kiss that left me breathless.
“So, this time when you tease me while I’m driving, I’ll have a back seat to fuck you in.”
My heart leaped, and I bit my lip to stop myself from squealing.
“I’m already packed.”
