“Gluttonous? How the hell am I gluttonous?”
She tilts her head. “Gluttony is defined as incessant greed or excessive eating.” Violet eyes him up and down. “Clearly, you don’t eat excessively, but the greed? You have that in spades, and you won’t stop until you get what you want no matter who you have to hurt in the process.”
“I could give you a good life.”
“No, asshole, you couldn’t.”
Brad looks from her to me and back again. “He’s no better than me, you know? He’ll do anything to get what he wants. Look how far he’s willing to go to keep you.”
Tired of the back and forth, and maybe a little afraid that Violet will recognize that Brad isn’t wrong, I raise the ax above my head and bring it down to lodge in his skull. Blood spatters both me and my ol’ lady.
“Go forth, sinners' souls, from this world. May you suffer in darkness, may your home be in Hell, and may the Devil fuck you with his horns.”
After I finish, I turn to Violet and am surprised she hasn’t run from the room screaming. Instead, she closes the distance between us and rises to her tiptoes.
Her lips are silky soft, and she tastes like copper.
So fucking sweet.
When she steps back, I arch a brow.
“What was that for?” I ask, and she smiles.
“I don’t ever have to worry about the Devil again because I’ve got my very own Reaper.”
Warmth settles in my chest at her words. How could I ever have kept my true feelings from her? What the fuck was I thinking.
I pull her close and press my forehead to hers.
“I love you, Sprite.”
EPILOGUE
VIOLET
Four months later…
“I think you’re about done.”
Cece puts the final touches on my makeup while Heather curls my hair.
I can’t believe I’m getting married!
Technically, this is our second wedding. When Grim and I first got married, he said we could do it again the way I wanted, when the time was right. The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
My eyes wander over to Jez who’s watching everything with a smirk. “You think you’ll do this someday?” I ask.
“Hell, no.” She snorts. “I’m never tying myself down to one man. I don’t think there’s a cock in this world that can tame me.”
We all burst out laughing, and it takes a minute for us to collect ourselves. My heart is full knowing that everyone that matters will be here today. The last couple of months haunt my dreams, but Grim is always there to fight the demons away.
After Brad was purged, Grim got a text from Soul letting him know that Jez was in pretty bad shape. We all rushed to the hospital, only to be told that she had a punctured lung, concussion, and deep cuts on her head that required stitches. The first twenty-four hours were critical, but somehow, she pulled through. The brothers and ol’ ladies took turns spending time with her in the hospital while she recovered.
“How are things with Soul?” I ask as Cece slides my dress into place. The club president has been pretty bitter since her secrets were revealed. “You guys make up yet?”
Jez blows out a breath. “Not yet. He’s still pissed at me. I kept a lot from him.”
“He’ll come around,” Cece says from behind me. “He was scared to death, Jez. I don’t know what he woulda done if you’d have died.”
