“No. You should definitely have left home.” His eyes flash with fire again and I feel that silky heat start to fire up in my belly and rush through my body like a wildfire again. My fingers and toes tingle. My clit pulses and I shiver, startled.
He moves closer and his dark eyes flash, the muscles of his body tightening and expanding. His skin looks like it’s pulsing. “Seriously?” I whisper. “What are you?”
“I am your mate. Radric. Prince of Demons.”
“You’re what that thing was?” My mouth drops open, appalled. I don’t want anything to do with demons. “Demons are from Hell aren’t they? Why would Hell want me? I haven’t done anything wrong!”
He chuckles and his dark eyes fire up again, flames burning in their inky depths. “Hell wants everyone,” he purrs. “But it’s me that wants you. I’m your mate, angel.”
“Mate? What’s a mate? What does that mean?” Terror begins to barrel around in my belly like I’m on a rollercoaster ride that’s out of control. It feels like I’m falling so fast that I can’t even breathe. My breath pants in and out quickly and spots dance in front of my eyes.
“Whoa!” He sounds like his voice is coming from a tunnel and then everything goes black again.
The last thing I see is his dark eyes coming closer to me, laser-focused on me.
CHAPTER3
Radric
Icatch my little mate again, my lips quirking. I should be annoyed because this little thing can’t seem to stay upright. But it gives me the chance to hold all of those lush curves in my hands so I can’t say I’m that upset.
It’s a lot for a little human to hear. Lust stirs and my cock stiffens. I need to mate my little human but I also need to find the demon she’s hiding from.
“What demon escaped and has taken over a shifter?” It’s obvious that that’s what this is but I haven’t heard of any recent escapees so this must be one that escaped earlier and has managed to hide from me and my brothers.
Nothing can hide from us so how did this one manage it?
There’s a shift in the air and I push out a forked tongue, hissing and sniffing the air.
“Put that thing away, Radric, and drop the human female. She has done nothing to earn her place in Hell.”
I chuckle mirthlessly. “She has won me. That’s how she has earned her place in Hell. She will be mine, Gabriel. Fate has decreed it. Even you know that you can’t fight fate.”
His sage head nods sadly. “But to take such a one seems sacrilegious. Innocence does not belong in your world.”
“She will not be innocent long.” His lips twist and he groans.
“Lust. You are an avaricious beast.”
I lift my head and smile grimly into his sad blue eyes. “Thank you. That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.” I shift her in my arms and carry her away. “You no longer need to concern yourself with her. I will take care of her from now on. She will never want for anything.”
“Except for freedom and her eternal life.”
That brings my eyes up and there’s a sinking feeling in my stomach because I know he’s right.
But she is mine and even if it’s wrong, I don’t give a damn.
“She will be happy,” I growl.
“Tell yourself that, Radric. Keep telling yourself that.”
He fades away and I walk into the night, my soulless eyes searching for a shelter to hide her away in. If I need to fight something, I cannot leave her exposed while I do it.
Miles later and there is nothing. Magic, Wyoming is such a tiny place and I can’t take her into the town. I need something hidden.
Finally, I come across an abandoned cabin in the woods and sniff the air again. Nothing. No shifters. At least not for a long time.
I kick the door open and slip inside with my dainty burden, staring around. Dust coats every available surface and I cringe. I don’t want to even touch the things here so I close my eyes and whoosh out a warm breath that immediately blows the cobwebs and dust away. My mate deserves the best. Sure, Hell’s a little ashy but it’s still better than this place.
