“Looking forward to it.” Percy sat down with a heavy sigh and then lifted up his arm, inviting Kevin over. “Come on, peaches. It’s break time, right?”

“Don’t mind if I do.” Kevin joined Percy on the couch and snuggled in, leaning his head on Percy’s shoulder.

Percy hugged Kevin against his chest, kissing his forehead. He smiled, and the light caught his gold tooth, making it shine like a star. From here, they had a great view of Devil’s Tower through the little mesh window, but Kevin couldn’t look away from Percy’s smile.

“Wow,” Percy murmured, his eyes focused on the view outside. “Look at that.”

“Fucking gorgeous.” Kevin nodded in agreement, though his gaze remained fixed on Percy. He barely noticed the mountain.

Percy turned, catching Kevin’s stare, and his smile turned bashful. “Sweet talker.”

“No idea what you’re talking about.” Kevin batted his eyes coyly as he leaned in for a kiss. His heart thumped as Percy kissed him back passionately, and it would be so easy to get lost right here—

The timer dinged.

“Damn,” Percy mumbled. “I suppose you should get that. Unless we want extra crispy pizza.”

“Not a fan of that.” Kevin sighed, reluctantly dragging himself off the couch. He hustled over to the oven, well aware that his ass cheeks were definitely hanging out from the bottom of the shorts as he bent over to pull the pizza out. He laid it on the counter, asking, “Okay, what should we have to drink with the pizza?”

Percy didn’t answer.

Kevin looked over to see Percy was fast asleep, having fully transformed into a demon with his head tilted back so his horns were poking through the tent fabric. Kevin frowned, and his stomach lurched with worry.

This was definitely not normal.

“Hey.” Kevin came over to wake him, gently shaking his shoulder. “Percy. Hey. Dinner is ready.”

Nothing.

Percy was breathing, but he didn’t stir.

Shit.

Kevin grabbed a blanket from the bed so he could cover Percy, trying not to panic. Percy was definitely still sick, and he cursed himself for letting him use so much of his power for this ridiculous glamping setup. That plus the incredible sex must have worn Percy out, and Kevin had no idea what to do since they were still trapped here until the tow truck came in the morning.

If they came…

Shit, shit, shit.

Kevin’s worries rose until they crushed his chest, and he looked to the door of the tent.

The ward.

He had to break it somehow. They had to get the hell out of here so he could get Percy somewhere safe. What good was being an angel if he couldn’t take care of his demon boyfriend?

Kevin headed outside, zipping the flap up behind him. He walked up to his truck and cracked his knuckles, saying, “All right, lady. We gotta do this, okay?”

He’d like to think the truck would have said something encouraging, but it was thankfully silent. He probably couldn’t have handled any additional insanity like a talking truck right now, so it was definitely for the best.

Kevin closed his eyes, trying to focus on the power of the ward as Percy had described it before. It took a few minutes of concentration and several quiet swears before he was able to curl his fingers around the thrumming ring of power. It burned miserably, but he didn’t let go this time. He refused to let it push him away, gritting his teeth as he struggled.

He had to do this.

He just fucking had to.

What if Percy didn’t get better? What if he kept getting worse? Could demons die?

No, no, no.
