my tongue into her pussy at the same moment I slide my finger in deeper, and she gives a muffled scream around my cock as her whole body jerks and shakes.
That’s all I can fuckin’ take.
“I’m gonna come,” I grunt in between furious swipes of my tongue, tryin’ to warn her. I hope like fuck she hears me, but she doesn’t stop what she’s doin’.
Instead, she keeps working her lips desperately up and down my cock. Drool and precum coat my shaft, and her movements are sloppy and uncoordinated as the orgasm tears through her. But it’s still one of the best damn things I’ve ever felt.
I explode in her mouth, jet after jet of my cum hitting the back of her throat. She swallows some, and some of it dribbles back down my shaft as we both shudder and shake like we just got electrocuted.
It takes a bit for me to feel like I can move again, and I’m still breathing hard as I slowly drag my finger from her back hole and give her delicious pussy one last kiss. Then I lift her easily, scooting us both up on the bed a little before pulling her back into my arms with her head tucked against my chest.
She looks up at me, her gorgeous eyes glinting, a sheen of sweat making her skin look like it’s glowing in the dim light. “That was dirty, Wrath.”
I grin at the breathless glee in her voice. “Did you like it?”
She nods, biting her bottom lip.
I tilt her chin up a little and kiss her, letting her taste herself on my tongue just like I can taste myself on hers. When I pull back, I keep my grip on her chin. “Maybe someday I’ll fuck you in that hole. Would you like that?”
Her eyes fly wide, and if it wasn’t for my fingers on her jaw, I think her mouth would be hanging open. Then she swallows, seeming to think about it. Her eyes darken—not with fear, but with desire.
“Yes,” she whispers.
“Fuckin’ hell, angel.” My cock twitches, and I chuckle as I draw her tighter against my chest. “You’re gonna kill me.”
I can feel her smile against my skin as she presses a kiss to my pec. “Never.”
She’s so sweet and so damn dirty at the same time.
She’s fuckin’ perfect.
And she’s mine.
Ours.
I’ll protect her with everything I have in me, and I won’t let anything hurt her.
I can be a monster sometimes, I know that. I’m the living personification of wrath.
But sometimes it takes a monster to keep a precious thing safe.
Chapter Thirteen
Trinity
“You know the expression ‘needle in a haystack’?” Nix drawls. “That’s what this feels like.”
“Shut up,” Ryland says absently, although there’s no real bite to his words. They’ve had this exact exchange at least three times already, so I don’t think he can work up the energy to be annoyed by his brother anymore.
And, frankly, Nix has a point.
I was so excited about the clue Flynn gave us. With a physical drawing of the mark, we’ve got a shot at finding the demon who tried to have me killed. But that’s where the needle analogy comes in.
We don’t know where to look, so the entire fucking city is basically one big haystack.
We’ve been tromping around the desolate city for most of the day, doing our best to avoid large crowds. Even though Flynn removed my mark, we don’t know how much longer the potion Isaac gave me will last—and I really don’t want to become demon bait again.
“Man, who knew saving the world was so fucking tedious?” Nix jokes, bumping me with his shoulder. He winks at me when I glance at him. “And that’s coming from the laziest man in the world.”
I snicker, but we both freeze when Beckett holds up a hand. Remi is up ahead scouting out our path, and he returns quickly, sticking to the shadows of buildings as he comes.
“There’s some kind of market around the corner up there,” he reports, gesturing to the street behind him. “Lots of demons.”
“We should check it out quickly, then move on,” Ryland says. “Knight?”
Envy nods. He’s the one who usually sneaks into crowds when we encounter bigger groups of demons, since he’s the one who has the easiest time moving about undetected. I know he’s good at this, but I still hate it. My heart clenches with worry as I watch him move quietly forward and disappear around the corner.
He’s gone for several long moments, then he slips back
