CHAPTER 19

Luniel slipped his phone away, mortified. How could he have forgotten? Angels could stay awake and fight for days on end if need be, especially with a dazzling gloryhit surging through their veins. That was what heaven made them for. Sustenance was essential, but not urgent. But Morgan would need rest. Food. Care.

Shit. He wasn’t used to caring for anyone but himself. Least of all a human woman, so precious and vulnerable.

She was watching him, a smile tinting her lips. Her face shone pale, her eyes bright with dark rings beneath them. “Finished chatting with your friends? Can we go now?”

He fidgeted. How had he not noticed her exhaustion? “Listen. Um…why don’t we leave it until morning?”

“It is morning.” She indicated the brightening sky.

“Yeah. I mean, I think I should take you home for a while.”

“I don’t want to go home.” She frowned, irritable. “Demons, plagues, curses. Stuff to do. Remember?”

“You’ve been up all night, Morgan. You need food, and sleep, and…y’know.” He gestured vaguely. “All that human stuff.” He held up his hand to stave off her protests. “The Prince of Poison will still be there tonight. Demons thrive on darkness. Now we know where to look, we’ll come back when the party’s started. And you’re useless to me half-asleep. Let me…” He flushed. “You need to take care of yourself,” he amended lamely.

She sighed, frustrated, but he could tell she knew he was right. “Okay. But you’re not coming back here without me, hear?”

“Wouldn’t dream of it. Flash or fly?”

“Huh?”

“Your place. No subway here, and I’m not walking. Wanna flash or fly?”

Her beautiful eyes glinted eagerly. “Can we fly? Please?”

Her excitement tingled his skin. He grinned, and vanished his sword—but only a tiny wish’s breadth away. He could still feel it, vibrating the ether, ready to snap back into his hand. No way was he losing her now. He held out his arm, beckoning. “Madam.”

She came to him, holding on tight to his breastplate. Her arms barely reached around him. She tucked her head under his chin, dark hair spilling over silver. Her scent thrilled him, sweet sweat and smoke and woman.

He’d held her before—flown with her, touched her body, felt her slick wet flesh on his fingers and tasted her pleasure’s hot sigh—but somehow this was different. Closer. More real.

His heart swelled, and deep inside, for the first time in centuries, something hard and cold melted like ice in the sun.

And he folded his arms around her—so warm—and dived for the brightening sky.

Morgan hung on tightly, and let her angel make her fly.

Breeze tugged her hair, the ground falling dizzily away. His armor glistened, warm and smooth under her cheek. His scent enveloped her, toffee and hot male skin and the crisp freshness of sunrise. She gripped his hair, enjoying the wind thrumming in his thick silken locks.

He held her effortlessly, and the feel of his strong embrace filled her with a safety she’d rarely known. The pressure on her breasts as he breathed felt good. She breathed, too, slow and deep, invigorated.
