“I wish,” I grumble. “I had to return and beg to be let back in, told them I wanted to be part of it, the other nephilim were not happy.”
She must read between the lines because her eyes flare black. “They hurt you?”
“Nothing I can’t handle,” I snap.
“They. Hurt. You?” she says slowly, and I can see her changing before my eyes. My cock hardens instantly, my madness rising to meet her.
“They tried,” I admit, and she snarls, leaping to her feet and storming towards the door. Chuckling, I jump up and wrap her in my arms, stopping her progress as she fights and kicks to get free, ranting about all the horrible things she’s going to do to them for hurting me.
It makes me grin uncontrollably, knowing she cares that much about what happens to me, but I try to hide it as I bury my face in her hair. She’s so angry it’s like holding a wild animal in my grip. “Dawn,” I growl, and she stills. “It’s okay, we will make them pay, but not yet. Now, what was your plan?” I question, trying to bring her back before she goes out there and kills everyone. I know she would.
She huffs.
“If you tell me, I can find Nos outside and tell him, who can then tell Aska,” I offer, and their names make her slump.
“Fine, but I’m killing them,” she warns, and I nod, dropping a kiss on her shoulder.
“Of course, my little demon,” I agree. “Your plan?”
She turns in my embrace, a grin flirting at her lips, and I know whatever it is, it’s going to be crazy, my favourite type.
Draya returns with the fallen. He looks smug and she is grinning in satisfaction. They smell like sex and blood, and I debate charging him, but I remember what happened last time, so I stop myself. Instead, I lean back against the wall and cross my arms, my jaw locked as she leans up and kisses his cheek.
“Better get back to work, cutie. I’ll be here waiting.” He nods, throwing me a venomous look before cupping her cheeks and kissing each eyelid softly. His face changes when he does, going from angry to...almost soft. It lessens my fury towards him, he clearly loves my mate.
“Be bad,” he orders.
“Wouldn’t that be good?” She laughs and he grins at her.
“No, good is boring, you, Vasculo, are bad.” He kisses her again, and with one last glare at me, he turns and leaves, slamming the door behind him.
Dawn spins my way and saunters closer, unbothered by my crossed arms and angry face. I’m jealous, a feeling I’m not used to. She drapes herself on me and I have no choice but to hold her before she falls. “Draya,” I rumble as she grins up at me.
“Missed me, big guy?” she teases, watching me closely. “‘Cause I think you did. Is that why you look like you want to murder everyone or fuck me but can’t decide?”
I narrow my eyes on her and she pouts a little. “Not going to talk to me?”
“I can smell him on you,” I growl, my body vibrating with the need to grab her harder, throw her down, and claim her again.
“Yeah? Then why don’t you replace his scent with yours?” she purrs, stroking down my chest to my hard cock.
I grind my teeth and look away, trying to breathe through the urge to change and take her. The way I am feeling, I can’t control it, and I don’t want to hurt her. Suddenly, a burst of pain flashes through me and I look down to see her teeth buried around my nipple as she stares up at me.
Giggling, she pulls back, licking her lips as I watch the blood from her teeth trickle down my chest. “Play with me.”
My chest is heaving, vibrating with my imminent change as I watch her step backwards, her eyes black as she runs her hands down her body, making me watch. “Draya,” I warn, my voice an animal bass as my bull comes forward, wanting to punish our mate.
“He fucked me real good,” she taunts, and it breaks me.
My animal bursts free with a roar. In a blur, she is pinned to the floor with us on top of her in a minute, he rips open her thighs as she laughs and slams home. She yells, arching up into us as he hammers into her again and again.
