My Queen Pestilence.

She rocked her hips and grabbed me by the face, forcing my gaze to hers. “Pay attention, Songbird. I don’t fuck dead fishies.”

Grinning, I took her by the waist and hissed through a few sound thrusts. The wet warmth that clung to me was maddening. It’d been phenomenal before, but between two supernatural beings, it was absolute ecstasy. A pleasure worth living for.

Worth dying for.

I fucked her while she was on top until she was screaming and shuddering. Then I took her against the wall, slamming my cock into her addictive heat from behind. She braced against the surface and breathed curses and gasped moans.

Her golden hair washed over her pale shoulders covered in scales with every shift and I couldn’t help but wrap that precioussilk around my hand, tugging back enough to get the sounds I wanted.

“You’re mine forever, pet.”

For hours I didn’t let her go, and I never planned to.

Epilogue

Emily

Supernatural sex was insane. I never got tired, and neither did he. I was worried Asha would know we’d christened several places in their Dracula castle when she got back. More than anything, I didn’t want to be the focus of her endless taunts.

It’d been over a week of banging Zelus’s brains out. A week where talking was the last thing on either of our minds. But I’d dragged myself out of the lustful fog and wandered around the castle again to clear my head.

Zelus was never far. The bastard followed me everywhere. Well-meant stalking as per usual. I couldn’t go anywhere but this castle, yet he didn’t trust me wandering around on my own. Andnormally it drove me crazy to be hovered over by a possessive asshole, but I didn’t mind it as much with Zelus.

His arm dropped around my shoulders as I searched for the weird bird humanoid to get some food. I wasn’t hungry, but Asha was right—one of the many pleasures of the afterlife was the food her bird minions made.

“Are you going to tell me why I have scales and fangs now?” I demanded when Zelus moseyed beside me and beamed a smile full of satisfaction.

He huffed a little laugh. “Curious, love?”

Smug asshole.

I’d given him a particularly awesome blowjob right before sneaking away. It was obnoxious he didn’t sleep, so finding time to explore always ended up with us fucking somewhere. I’d talked him out of fucking in the room I suspected was Asha and Thanatos’s, but barely. He’d taken me right outside the door instead.

I complained, but I was having just as much fun as he was. It was amazing how I didn’t have to fuss with being tired or hungry or needing to use the bathroom. Showering and bathing were other pleasures that I did out of habit. And it wasn’t as if I couldn’t sleep, but it seemed like a waste when I could be doing other things.

Mostly Zelus.

“Is it what happened to Asha? She got Death powers after she died.”

I’d been testing the waters when given a moment, and that wispy disappearing act he pulled all the time I hadn’t quite figured out yet. I still appeared in random places.

Another thing I learned about Zelus was that he had control over shadow snakes and spiders. Unlike some girls, I wasn’tcreeped out by them. They were badass beauties, and I enjoyed playing around with them. Sometimes so much so that it made Zelus jealous. Which was all the more reason to do it. I got a kick out of giving him hell.

“Am I the Spicy Pestilence version now?”

His amusement reached his eyes as we wandered through another corridor, barely paying attention to where we were going. “Spicy Pestilence. I like that, love. It suits you.”

But I was thinking about how to stop the apocalypse. “What if all the Counter Souls can become this way? You know, with their respective Horseman.” I snuck a glance at him. “Or Horsewoman.”

His eyes dashed over to mine. “Are you suggesting we kill the other ones, then?”

I smacked his shoulder and snarled. “No. Obviously. We’re not even sure that’s the reason it’s worked, but it’s something to think about. Have they gone after Asha since she became the bride of Death?”

Zelus slowed and then stared down at me in open curiosity. “No, not that Dead’s mentioned.” My clever asshole’s wheels were turning. “You think this might be the design?”

I shrugged, not totally sure what I thought. “I think it’s worth exploring if we’re really trying to stop the world from ending.”
