CHAPTER EIGHT

Kage collapsed against the mound of pillows in the corner of the sofa with Taelyn sprawled on top of him. She could stay there forever and he’d be a happy man.

From the second their lips had touched tonight, he’d savored the taste of her, the feel of her, the very essence of her. This was the woman he’d loved for centuries. The one he could never get enough of. The one he cherished, worshipped, protected.

The one who continually left him.

But not tonight.

She was in his arms, her breasts pressed to his chest, her warm breath blowing against his neck, her legs entwined with his.

She sighed contentedly and it made his heart soar.

“I don’t think two people could be more in-tuned with each other on such a provocative level,” she mused. “Like we’ve been this intimate together a hundred times before—and it’s still so new and exciting.”

“We have been this intimate a hundred times before. More, I’m sure. And yes…every single time is this exciting.”

Her head lifted from his shoulder. She gazed down at him and asked, “How do we know each other, Kage?”

His fingers combed through her long, silky hair. “We met in Scotland. Battled demons together. Then you vowed to the council to be their soldier forevermore, fighting for them to maintain the balance of good and evil. They enchanted you to do so. Made it possible for you to be resurrected whenever that balance is threatened.”

“And you…protect me?”

“You’re entombed when you die.” His chest pulled tight at the subject matter, but she deserved to know the truth. “I watch over you, protecting your mortal soul. So that demons can’t counteract the enchantment. So that they can’t keep you from a reincarnation.”

“But how?” she asked, confusion swirling in her cerulean eyes. “Did the council enchant you as well?”

“They didn’t have to. You did it,” he admitted. “With your smile. With your strength. With your beauty.”

She smirked. “Kage.”

“It’s true. From our first battle together, I was hopelessly devoted to you.”

Her lips brushed over his. “So sweet. So romantic.”

“Hmm. It’s not always roses and sunshine, baby.”

“I can imagine. But…” Her brows knitted. “I don’t understand how you exist…to watch over me.”

Now, it was his gut that tightened. Here came the challenging part.

He told her, “I’m a demon, Taelyn. An immortal by lineage.”

She stared at him, her jaw falling slack.

With a slight nod, he said, “Honestly.”

“Wait… How can that be?” Her forehead crinkled as she tried to process the reality of the situation. “I’m a—”

“Demon slayer. Yes.”

“And yet we—”

“Fell in love. Irony of ironies.”

She opened her mouth to speak again. No words came out.

Kage grinned. “Look at me, stumping the slayer.”

“Ha, ha.”

He kissed the tip of her nose and told her, “This is usually much easier for you to digest. You’re reunited with me and the sword and your memories return. Slaying is the occupation you embrace—I’m the man you embrace.”

“Yes, I imagine it’s near-impossible to resist your considerable charms,” she mocked in a dry tone.

“I am quite charming,” he assured her with a crooked brow.
