“So, you need my help?” Drago’s voice is a lover's caress across my body, and I hate how much I still react to him. He demanded a meeting with me over Ciaran, which is irritating me to no end. Ciaran has always handled our interactions.

I grind my teeth. “We just need you to hide her for a little while before we get her out of the city.” I take a long drag of the Eufori, and the red smoke whirls around me as it exits my nostrils. Drago’s powerful form leans against the wall as he watched me, his arms banded across his chest. Those powerful arms I know would feel so good bracketed around my body. I shake my head, trying to clear the thoughts and hating myself for still wanting him after he betrayed me.

Drago’s face shifts to sadness. “Shadow . . .” He steps forward.

“No,” I say firmly, stepping back toward the wall of windows behind me. The low rumble of thunder breaks the tense air in the apartment, the sound of rain splashing against the large windows masking my uneven breaths. Drago strains to hold himself back, to refrain from crowding into my space, but he doesn’t stop talking.

“No, you are going to listen, Shadow. I’m done with this.” He presses forward one step, his blue eyes flashing golden momentarily. “I’m sorry. I know that’s not enough. I do. But I am. You have no idea how hard those years were.”

I snap forward, my body shoving into his. “Oh, I have no idea?” I hiss.

He holds his hands up in surrender. “Wrong word choice. I won’t know what you went through, but I can tell you being out here wasn’t any easier. I had hard decisions to make, and one of those was not getting you out. I couldn’t get you out. He was watching me, and until I got rid of him, there wasn’t anything I could do. I didn’t have the things I have now. I had to build that up.” He fists his hands at his sides, body vibrating. “I hate that I couldn’t rescue you, save you. I had to listen to everything happening and know I couldn’t do anything.”

The heartbreak and regret is evident, but I can’t, no, won’t allow myself to cave. Anger is the only thing that keeps me standing, and if I forgive him, I have to let that go. So, I don’t give him the out and instead school my face, taking in my drug and blowing it out in his.

“We are bringing her soon. Be ready.” The portal opens behind me, and I step through backward, ignoring my heart breaking and pretending I don’t see the shimmer of tears in Drago’s eyes.

Astrea

Now

We make it three steps into our room before I turn and jump into Ciaran’s arms, slamming my mouth onto his. I sweep my tongue out and into his mouth, moaning at his taste. His strong hands grip my ass so hard, I know I’ll have marks tomorrow.
