here for me. I don’t doubt any of them. I just want to make it clear that I’m taking you at your word.”
“You should. I have no ill intentions. I know that actions speak louder than words and all that. I will prove to you that I am only interested in you. What the males do isn’t my concern. If they want to fuck your ass, while I lick your cunt, then good for them. I’m here for you, well, and me, obviously.”
Her words reassure me. I wasn’t overly bothered. I trust my males. But she is an unknown and one that I need to get my ducks in a row with. The lines have to be clear because there can be no blurring of them. I just won’t allow it. “Glad that is sorted because it would really piss me off, on an already shit day, to have to throw you out of here.”
She snickers. “Phew,” she says, pretending to wipe off her brow.
I giggle. “You got anything to add?”
“Nope, we are on the same page, Belle. Can I call you Belle?
“Only Shax calls me Belle,” I tell her, feeling that particular pain hit me in the chest.
“So that’s a no?”
“No, it’s a yes.”
She nods. “Belle, then. I can honestly say that the idea of being with a male is as off putting to me as being with a Swamp Demon. You have nothing to worry about from me.”
“Or me,” Killian’s voice says from behind me. “We’ve already talked about this, Princess. However, I feel under the circumstances, a reiteration is required.”
“I definitely wouldn’t do him,” Xavi says with a loud guffaw.
“Hey!” I exclaim. “I do him.”
“And how I pity you,” she says with a sassy smile, which makes me laugh.
I turn to Killian. “Tell me again.”
“Only your pussy, Princess, and I don’t do anal with females. So, now that we’ve cleared that up, there is something else more pertinent that we need to discuss.”
I feel the dread well up in me. It’s a horrible feeling and one that I’m not used to, but this day just seems to be going from bad to worse.
“What is it?” I ask with a sigh.
He walks in between me and Xavi and then to the side a bit so that we are standing at the point of a triangle.
“I don’t know how much you know about the Horsemen,” he starts.
“Enough,” I say warily.
“So, you know that once you walk the Earth, the four of us will be called to you, the Anti-Christ, to start the Apocalypse?”
I nod.
“I begin with War, then comes Pestilence, Famine follows and finally Death.”
“Okay,” I say. “I know all of this. Get to the part where it’s all doom and gloom.”
He gives me a filthy look which makes me smile.
He walks over to Xavi, his hand held up. She looks at me and then holds her hand up. When their hands touch, the ground beneath our feet starts to shake.
“What the fuck?” I ask, grabbing onto the nearest chair to keep myself steady.
They pull their hands apart.
“We are not meant to be near each other until the time comes,” Killian says. “There has been a fuck-up in Admin. Xavi wasn’t meant to be recalled so early, while I was still here.”
“Why?” I ask with a fierce frown that gives me a headache.
Killian’s white eyes find mine. “Roberta is denying all knowledge of it. I don’t know if she is behind this or not, but someone is. Someone wanted two of us here together.”
“What for?” I ask perplexed. “It’s not like we can start the Apocalypse from here.”
The look he gives me tells me that I am dead wrong with that thought process.
“What?” I ask. “We can?”
“The four of us are here for you,” he says. “We converge at your behest. If we are on Earth, this will be automatic, but here in Hell…we could destroy it if all four of us are called back here at the same time. We will start the Apocalypse, but it will be here.”
I close my eyes as I take that in.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I hiss.
“I wish that I was, Anna, but sadly, Xavi and I being here together is dangerous for us all.”
“So, are you asking me to make a choice? To send one of you back?” I thunder at him. “Not happening, War. You are mine, both of you. Fuck the Apocalypse. Neither of you are going anywhere.”
“That is, of course, your call,” he states. “I am merely giving
