That done, I set the container of salt on the coffee table, then heft up the book.
“Here goes nothing,” I murmur, turning my attention to the first part of the spell.
And ‘nothing’ is exactly what happens as I stumble through the first few unfamiliar lines, but I’ve come too far to stop now. And then, when I’m just about done with themanifestsection, the strangest freaking thing happens.
My door is shut. So are my windows. There is no reason why my living room should have a gale-force window whipping around it, or a mass of dark shadows welling in one corner before it begins to grow and grow.
Pausing, I glance over at my sister. “Should I stop?”
“No, keep going,” Johanna says, raising her voice up over the wind. Excitement lights up her features. “I want to see what happens.”
I don’t think I do—but I start to read the next part… thepromise…anyway.
Just as I’m reciting the last line of the second paragraph, the shadows condense on themselves. Impossibly black except for a pierce of glowing purple light standing out from the darkness about a foot about my head, they’re there for a moment before they shift to a different creature entirely.
Behind me, Johanna starts screaming.
Honestly? If I had never seen him before, I probably would, too.
The creature that steps out of the shadows is huge. Like,massive. A good seven feet tall if I’m any judge, with the horns sticking out of the top of his head adding at least eight inches to his height. His muscles are huge, his chest is huge, and if he wasn’t wearing the wafting, thick black shadows starting at his waist like a tailored pair of pants, I’m betting the cock he’s packing is really freaking huge.
And considering where our last interlude left off last night, there’s a pretty good chance that he wants to use it on me… because I have seen him before.
I freaking kissed him, then let him go down on me.
He said he was a phantom.
He thinks I’m hiswife.
And I just summoned him into my living room after reading something that was called a ‘true love’ spell.
CHAPTER10
FINALLY
SAMMAEL
At last, I am whole again.
After meeting her on the dream-plane the night before, my Hope finally understood that—when we are on Earth together—I am a phantom. Now that I made her aware that theGrimoire du Sombrawas meant for her, I used as much of my energy as I could spare to retrieve it from under her bedding, then leave it open to theverus amorspell.
I had done so before. Each time, Hope immediately shut the cover, unaware that the only way to manifest me—to return both my formsandmy magic—was with that incantation.
But, almost as though she was rewarding me for giving her such pleasure during the time of shadows, once she left the dream-plane this morning, she actually looked at the spell.
Then, hours later when she returned to her quarters with her kin coming to visit, the two females decided that my Hope should read it. Not only did she manifest me, but by forging on and reciting the mate’s promise in her own voice, all we must do is complete the essence exchange and finalize our bond by physically mating—my cock in her cunt, my seed filling her up—and we will be forever mates.
I had every intention of explaining that to my Hope as soon as I finished manifesting in the human realm.
I made one big miscalculation, though. In my haste to shift from my shadow form to my demon shape, I momentarily forgot that it wasn’t solely Hope who was waiting for me in her world.
Her kin—who looks enough like my Hope that it’s obvious they’re relation, though my Hope is infinitely more lovely—begins to scream the moment I step out of the shadows and beneath the artificial light of Hope’s quarters.
My mate does not. She watches me with a mixture of confusion and surprise as I throw up my demon hands, freezing her kin in place.
Ah. It’s so good to have my magic back… or so I believe until, in the next moment, Hopedoesbegin to shout.
It’s not the unintelligible yell of fright like her kin. Instead, she rushes forward, calling the other female’s name—”Johanna! Jo”—before she whirls on me. “What did you do to my sister?”
