“What the hell are you doing here?” one asked as he grabbed my arm.
“I was . . . I was . . .” My words were gone. My brain was barely processing the fact that my soul and body now belonged to the King of the Demons.
“Take her inside,” the other one said. “I’ll find out what the hell King Hariel is doing.”
My feet moved of their own accord as I was escorted through black halls made of stone. By the time we entered the throne room, tears of remorse were rolling down my cheeks.
At the head of the vast room was a black leather throne trimmed in gold, ornate wood. Upon it sat a brawny man with coal black hair and matching sharp horns that curled slightly. Behind his tanned, shirtless body was a set of blackish-gray, batlike wings. The span of them was the largest I had ever seen. Thick leathery skin stretched across sharp bones and tiny vessels of blood ran through them like a roadmap. Pointy talons protruded out the edge of the wings where each bone stopped. Shock filled me when I noticed tattoos covered his entire body. To say he was sexy would have been an understatement.
King Avaress’ face was stone cold as his eyes locked on me. “What is the meaning of this?”
The guard let go of my arm as I stumbled to a halt. “We aren’t sure. She just showed up outside the castle.”
The king tilted his head as his eyes wandered my face. “Why are you here?”
“I . . . ” My voice must have been taken along with my wings.
“Spit it out!”
I squished my eyes together tightly, wishing this wasn’t real. “I was exiled.”
“Where are your papers?”
I opened my eyes and they met him. “My what?”
“Your papers. They can’t send you here without them. It’s not legally binding by our laws or theirs if you don’t have paperwork!”
In my mind, I immediately hoped that I would be magically saved by some dumb monarchy loophole.
“I have a message for you,” a woman said to the king as she entered. My hopes immediately dissipated when she handed him a small golden scroll with King Hariel’s signature wax seal on it.
King Avaress impatiently ripped the scroll open and quickly read it. “You were exiled for trying to escape?”
One of the demon guards laughed but abruptly stopped when the king’s eyes shot to him before they drifted back to me.
“I asked you a question, Astrid.” His voice was fierce, but I couldn’t help noticing that the deep timbre of it was sexy as hell.
“I was, sir.”
His cheeks tightened as a large smile fell upon his face. “Sir?”
“Shall I address you another way?”Asshole? Fuckface?
He rose from his throne and I was able to see just how massive he was as he made his way toward me. Stopping only inches from my face, he inhaled deeply.
“I can smell your soul. It isn’t pure.” I swallowed hard at the extremely true accusations. “You’re too nefarious for the angels. I’m surprised you lasted as long as you did.”
I bit my lip as his eyes trailed from my face, slowly down to my breasts. The way they devoured my body, inch by inch, sent tingles straight to my pussy. Since I was used to refraining from having sexual desires, I pressed my thighs together to keep the sensation away.
He let out a snicker as if he knew what I was feeling.
Once he was done eye fucking me, he raised a massive hand to my face. He curled his first finger forward and I sucked in a breath when a sharp claw emerged from it. He ran the talon down my cheek and whispered something in a language I had never heard before.
Confusion and anger settled in me and I pulled away from him. “What does that mean?”
A satisfied grin spread across his face. “It meansyou’re mine.”
Anger is what got me killed on earth. Since I was only twenty-eight years old when I died, my guardian angel took me to the kingdom of angels so I could learn to be less wrathful, and I had been biting my tongue ever since. At this point, I had enough with being polite and well mannered.
