I was driving in Thanatos Jones’ car. Okay, I was a passenger in his car, same difference.

It smelled like him.

The leather, the doors, the windows – his presence was so damn powerful, it could mark innate matter.

And that, of course, wasn’t to mention the man himself as he drove beside me. There was no reason for him to drive. He was a demon, for God’s sake – he had enough magic to make a car drive itself with nothing more than a click of his fingers.

He was still driving, though, and for the stupidest damn reason, I kept repeating to myself that he looked hot.

It was in the way he was slouched back in his seat, his arms straight, his fingers loose, and yet his command of the car perfect. It was in the way that he would glance at me casually every few seconds, his gaze slipping down my face, just one corner of his lips curling about half a millimeter.

It was in his scent, in his radiant heat – it was in Thanatos himself.

When I’d left Hell and this bastard behind, I’d never intended to return. And though I could never see myself going back to the Devil, I had to admit I was being drawn back to Thanatos—

No, you don’t, girl, I screamed at myself in my thoughts. Don’t you dare finish that sentence. You are not being drawn to him. He’s putting on a show, using every manipulative skill he has. This is a game to him. Get what you can, then leave the bastard in the dust.

I clutched hold of my seatbelt, my fingers curling in hard, my nails dragging across the stiff fabric.

“There is no need to be scared. Not while we’re out here, beyond the clutches of that pocket of time. Sit back and relax.”

“I’m not scared,” I said through stiff teeth.

“Tell that to my seatbelt.”

“I’m just going over the odds of this situation, and they aren’t in my favor.”

“You leave the odds to me,” Thanatos said as he smoothly changed lanes while all the while staring my way. “We demons have a way of gaming every system.”

“I don’t need a lesson on the capability of the Devil – I’ve met him too. Not the point. I just…” I trailed off. If I’d been trying to convince Thanatos that I wasn’t scared, the slight waver in my voice gave it all away.

He shot me a knowing smile as we pulled into the street where Mortimer’s Cathedral was located.

Instantly my stomach twisted as it reminded me of the last time I’d been here. That healing bath… the knowledge of it was still trapped in my damn bones. It had been categorically the most glorious thing I had ever experienced. More than that, though, it had
