She gave a soft smile, reaching around and stroking his head as his cock remained buried to the hilt. “Don’t start a bat-tie now,” she whispered back. “I’ll beat you every time.”
He hugged her tighter, covering the side of her face with kisses. “More like slaughter.”
“You better hurry, they’re waiting.”
He eased himself out of her with a groan. “And they willsurelywait.”

“Everybody’s here?” Bishop asked. “Anybody missing?”
“Everybody’s here,” 8-Bit said.
“All female ears?”
“Off,” his Tech Hatch leader assured.
“Good. 8-Bit, start by giving us the data you’ve learned.”
Bishop listened as he recounted the intel he’d told him.
“Anybody have more to add?”
“I’ve seen her,” Ruckus said.
“Seen who?” Bishop regarded him on the phone, seeing small fingers laced in his large ones. Gracie was with him. Good.
“The white wall. The woman protecting. I’ve been seeing it in dreams. I see there’s something hiding behind it but can never tell what. It’s her,” he said, sure of it.
“You think she’d know where we can find Raphael?” Seer asked on another screen.
“I think she’s with him. Protecting him.”
“Can we find her?” Bishop asked.
“We may be able to if with Maggie’s help,” Ruckus said. “And Beth.”
“What kind of help?” Spook demanded while wondering what he wanted to do with his wife.
“Not sure,” Ruckus said.
“We need a Prayer Circle,” Seer said. “With Ma Cherie. She’s a direct link to Raphael and Lazarus. Where I’m blind, she’ll see, but I need Maggie to see too and show me.”
Bishop nodded. “See to that right away, Oui?”
“Oui,” they all agreed.
“Your wife’s gifts will eventually be needed,” Ruckus said, or warned.
“And when it’s absolutely necessary,” Bishop said, “we’ll use them. Until then, she’s off limits. Speaking of. Now that it’s likely the same people who kidnapped Maggie also kidnapped Beth, do you think it has anything to do with their gifts?”
“Without a doubt,” Ruckus said. “Which brings me to inform you. This Ball you’re having to entice them to the swamp is the wrong bait. They aren’t interested in virgins, they’re interested in particular people, and they all happen to be here. My son, myself, and now Maggie and Beth. If we get Raphael and this woman, we’d tip the power scales and shift this war into the direction we want it.”
“How?” Bishop wondered.
“We would be more powerful than those three covens. Which would require them to join forces. And if they do that, then we get what we want, them coming at us in a united front.”
A united hell. “How is that good?”
