I glare at him. “You made me leave my mate. I should kill you. But don’t worry, I’ll let you live. I’m sure my father would love to meet the demon who tried to kill his daughter in law.”
He screams and writhes but I refuse to let him go until I stand in front of my father.
“Can you take him? I need to return and check on my mate.”
“Of course, my son. Take care of her.”
I nod my head and leap to my feet, quickly tunneling my way back up to the surface.
She’s lying on the floor and my heart skips a beat, it feels like I can’t breathe.
I sit next to her and pull her limp body into my lap, feeling my emotions rearing up and pushing out of me.
“Goddess, come on. Please wake up.”
She whimpers but her eyes stay closed. I lift my hand and hold it on the huge bruises on her throat. I close my eyes and feel my hands warm. Feel the pain and hurt in her as I slowly, surely push it away and bring her home to me.
Finally, her eyes flutter open and I smile. “There’s my goddess.”
“Radric? What happened?”
“It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I’ve got you and I’m never letting you go.” I lean down and my lips seal to hers lightly, lovingly.
Her cool lips warm under mine and she moans, her hands wrapping around my neck.
A throat clears and Lobo stands awkwardly watching us. “I’m gonna go. I think you two have some things to talk about.”
I stand and hold her in my arms as I hold my hand out to him. “You need me for anything…call me, Lobo. I can help you.”
He nods and leaves and I’m finally alone with her. I push the soft hair out of her eyes and smile. “You’re not getting away from me again, goddess. You’re all mine.”
She smiles and whispers hoarsely, “thank goodness. I hope that we can both find what we need with each other.”
“Nothing would make me happier, mate. I’m going to spend my whole life seeing to your needs.”
She smiles slightly. “I think that sounds about damn perfect.” Her smile dims. “I love you, Radric.”
“I love you more, my goddess.”
I found my reason for being. My mate, the love of my life and soon we shall have a new member of the family. But I’m not telling her yet.
Tonight is just for us. For our love, our rejoicing in the victory over the demon and the way forward to our wonderful, strange new life.
We have forever and I intend to take advantage of every second of it…with her. My fiery goddess.
Epilogue: Artemis
The world is a hellish glow of red and smoke. I cannot say that I’ve gotten used to the weird, exotic land that I’m now a part of. It’s literally Hell.
We pop in and out all the time because my baby is not about to be born in this land. Sure, our little prince will be straddling the line between two lands but that doesn’t mean I intend to have a baby without some kind of painkiller. Hell to the no! I want drugs!
Radric saunters over, his smile devilishly wicked and I feel my clit throbbing. He took me this morning hard and deep. But I want more. I always want more. This damn pregnancy has made me want him all the time. I have never been so demanding. And he’s fucking happy as hell.
“You look like you’re about to jump me again, little goddess.” The smug smirk on his face makes me want to slap the hell out of him.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” I mutter under my breath. I can see his father and mother in the next ring of punishment and I wince as I watch them eagerly cheer on the demons participating in the torture of the various shifters and humans. This circle is particularly bad and I can see the rogue demon in that circle.
I nod at him. “Do you think your father will ever forgive him for forsaking this place to go to Magic and do what he did? He exposed even more of Hell’s machinations.”
