With a final grunt, a roar breaks out of him. He bursts into my mouth, his seed going down my throat, and I keep sucking him and swallowing until I’ve gotten every last drop.

Once he is done, I pull back and stand up, smoothing out my dress.

His eyes fall to my mouth, and I feel a drop slide down my chin. I wipe it with my finger, then suck it clean. “Mmmm, delicious,” I say .

“You wicked goddess. Gods, you are perfect. Just look at you… You are everything to me,” he says in a raspy voice.

I can barely contain my smile. My heart sings in a chorus.

I place my hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

“You are everything to me too. This,” I tap two fingers over his heart, “is not broken. Make peace with yourself, Adonis. I know this heart. This heart doesn’t need a stupid curse to be broken to feel. ”

“How did I get so lucky with you?” He asks me. “Not only are you perfect, but you are the most beautiful being I have ever laid my eyes on…” I go to unlock the door, look back at him with a wink, and shake my shoulders. “I know, right? Now, let’s go. I deserve a drink, and you’re buying.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Adonis secures his pants and then salutes me.

I have no idea where demons get their money from, but I’m assuming if he can summon all the fancy shit that’s in their house, he can summon whatever money he needs.

Adonis and I return to the lively festival, the air buzzing with music and laughter.

As we step outside the bar, we spot Killian and Dax waiting for us, their expressions brightening at the sight of me.

Dax, caught off guard, accidentally lets his beer slip from his grip, the bottle shattering on the ground with a decisive crash.

Meanwhile, Killian clutches his chest in mock agony, his face contorted in exaggerated disbelief as if his heart might have actually stopped at that very moment.

I can’t help but smile, feeling a surge of confidence. I am so glad I chose this outfit.

“Seven realms of hell, Dani… I could fucking crawl to you right now,” Dax says as he stands motionless as if time itself has paused around him.

His tawny skin radiates under the warm glow of the lanterns, the soft light dancing across his body and creating an enchanting luminescence.

The flickering shadows play over his features, accentuating the co ntours of his face and giving him an almost ethereal quality.

“Dani… you are breathtaking,” Killian murmurs, his voice rich and velvety.

“Truly, you are the most exquisite woman I have ever seen in all my existence. I would traverse the highest mountains and navigate the deepest oceans, all just for a fleeting moment to have one little taste of you.” My heart races wildly in my chest as I glide over to Killian, surrendering to the gravity of the moment with a passionate kiss.

“Way to steal the spotlight with your poetry, Kil,” Dax chimes in with a playful roll of his eyes.

Not willing to let the moment linger, I move next to Dax and kiss him softly at first. But as I go to pull away, he pulls me back and wraps his arms around me with fierce intensity.

His tongue dances into my mouth, an electric spark ignites between us, and I eagerly welcome the burning heat of our shared passion.

“You taste like Adonis. Yummy.” He says, and then he kisses me one more time.

“Alright, let’s go.” Adonis throws his arm over my shoulder. “I promised our girl I’d buy her a drink.”

We eventually meet up with Jules and Amelia. The six of us are having a great time exchanging playful banter, sipping our drinks, and poking fun at the absurdity of our surroundings.

I glance down at my phone, nestled in my purse. The glowing screen illuminates my face in the dark as I check the time.

Amelia catches my drift, raises an eyebrow, and grins.

“Hey, Jules, why don’t we go back to your place?

” The idea hangs in the air for just a second.

“That sounds like a lovely idea. I’ll see you guys later.

It was great getting to know you all better,” she throws her arm around Amelia and turns to leave.

Saying over her shoulder, “Oh, and Adonis, I look forward to kicking your ass in strip poker! ”

Adonis laughs, sending a ripple of chills down my body, “Not a chance in hell, Jules!”

Jules. My heart melts as Adonis calls her that.

I quickly make my way to Jules and give her a big hug. “Hey, I love you. You know that, right? You’re my best fucking friend.” I pull away and look her in the eyes. She smiles at me, “Of course I know that! You’re my best fucking friend too.”

Amelia walks over to the guys, leaving Jules and me alone for a moment.

“I just want to say, Amelia is great. If you are happy, then I am happy. I think if you are ever lucky enough to meet a rare kind of loving soul, don’t let them go.

You may never meet someone like that again…

Amelia may just be that rare soul for you, Jules. ”

Jules flicks my nose. “Ew. Stop being weird,” she scrunches her nose at me and smiles. “Look at you, getting all mushy because you love three hot dudes. Go on, get it, girl. Make me proud.” Jules holds her hand out for Amelia to take, and as I go to walk away, she swats my ass.

“Bye, bitch!” I yell as she and Amelia turn to walk away. She flips me off without turning around and yells back, “Bye, slut!”

My smile darkens when I see all three men staring at me with hungry eyes.

I push past them dramatically and confidently and walk towards a dark alleyway, knowing they will follow like lost puppies.

My heels click on the pavement with every step, and my heart beats out of my chest.

I stop and make sure no one is around to see us.

All clear.

I reach my hand out for whoever to grab and say, “Let’s go play.” Three sets of eyes darken, and my world turns black as I’m swept away.
