Darkness Eternal(25)

Kata was . . .

 

Heat and passion and the promise of endless pleasure.

 

He bit back another groan as she wiggled her lush, sexy body beneath him.

 

Dammit.

 

This was supposed to be a simple snag and bag.

 

Kata should have been playing Sleeping Beauty so he could toss her over his shoulder and get the hell out of the cramped prison. From there it was a straight shot back to Victor’s lair and wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am he was washing his hands of the unpleasant duty.

 

Instead she was very much awake and wiggling beneath him in a way that had him painfully aroused and a breath from ripping off her too-thin nightgown and easing the sharp hunger that had slammed into him without warning.

 

What was wrong with him?

 

Debating that pertinent question, Uriel belatedly caught the odd scent of brimstone. Jerking his head to the side he watched as a tiny female demon in a white robe crossed the cell to regard him with a mysterious smile.

 

“I just knew the two of you would hit it off,” she murmured, her voice a low sing-song. “But you might want to brace yourselves. We’re about to be sucked into hell.”

 

His brows snapped together. “What the . . .”

 

“Hell?” The woman smiled to reveal an impressive set of razor sharp teeth. “Yes, I just said that.”

 

“Who are you?” he growled, instinctively shifting so his body was shielding Kata. And how crazy was that? “Actually, let’s start off with what are you?”

 

“I’m Yannah. And as for what I am . . . hmmm.” She tapped a finger to her chin. “Do you believe in fairy godmothers?”

 

“No,” he snapped.
