Story: Kiss of Death

I don’t expect to come again, but when Nex rams into one last time, I can feel his cum hitting my walls, and it sends me spiraling.

“Fucking hell,” Donovan groans. “How do you have more cum in you, and why does it feel so fucking good?”

Audrey moans, and I pop my eyes open to find Donovan’s thumb rubbing her clit.

When she comes again, it’s too much, and I have to slip out of her.

We all collapse onto the bed, breathing hard—most of us spilling cum onto the bed.

Audrey sighs. “Thank you for not giving up and for finding a way to distract me. I will say, I think this might be my preferred distraction.”

We laugh together before making our way into the shower. Thank fuck Wraith designed a big enough shower for all of us to fit.

Donovan sets Audrey in the shower, but when he goes to move away, she stops him and pulls him down for a kiss.

“I love you, Donovan.”

His grin lights up his face. “I love you, too, pretty girl.”

As each of her mates goes to step into the shower, Audrey stops them and gives them a kiss before telling them she loves them.

I’m the last one to reach the shower, and I pull her to me. “I love you more than life itself, firecracker.”

“I love you so much, Brenden. So fucking much.”

When I lower my head to kiss her, I try to push all of my love into it. I want her to knowjust how much I love her. How desperate I am for her. How I’d do anything for her.

She sighs when we break apart. Wraith pulls her to him so he can begin washing her, and I pull the door shut behind me.

I never knew if I’d be lucky enough to have a mate or not, but I never expected to have two. I also didn’t know one of those mates would have four other mates.

Pouring soap in my hand, I soap up my body. I’m so ready for a nap.

I can’t believe this will be our lives forever.

I don’t know what I did to deserve this life, but one thing is for sure—I’m never giving it up.

Chapter Twenty-eight

Audrey

Istare at the gates in front of me, doing everything I can to keep my emotions under wraps.

I’m not ready to say goodbye to my mom, Wren, and Diana, but I don’t really have a choice in the matter.

We’re standing at the massive gates to hell, which apparently open into a cave deep in the mountains earth-side, but they’re not why we’re here. No, it’s the second set of gates that sit beside theothers.

They’re much smaller than the first set of gates, only big enough for maybe two people to fit through at a time.

When Lucifer opened them, a bright white light nearly blinded me. My eyes have grown more accustomed now, so I no longer feel like it’s searing my brain through my eyes, but it’s still a lot more light than I’m used to.

These gates lead to Olympus, where numerous people I care about are about to go. I’ve read a few things about Olympus, but I still don’t know what they’ll find on the other side.

I think that’s part of the reason I’m so hesitant to let them leave me. They’re headed somewhere where there are millions of angels—all of whom might hate them. What if they come after my family and friends, and I’m not there to stop them?

“Breathe, Audrey. Breathe.”

I glance up at the sound of Mom’s voice and suck in a deep breath. I don’t even know when I stopped breathing.
