Shelly wracked her brain, trying to remember if she’d been proposed to. Surely she would remember someone as handsome as the devil before her, but she couldn’t. And she was certain she wouldn’t have said yes to the lord of the underworld, no matter how attractive he was.

“You’ve never even met him before, Shelly,” Ra said in his deep, quiet voice. It was soothing, and she found herself leaning into him.

“Then why does he think I’m going to be his queen?”

Ra leaned closer, his lips brushing against her ear. “Being as powerful as he is, he’s a bit delusional.”

Shelly grinned. “I suppose that’s to be expected.”

“I think you can allow her to stand on her own,” Osiris said, sounding very irritated.

Shelly’s face heated as she realized she was practically wrapped in Ra’s arms. She smiled and then stepped back. When she looked down, she saw that she was still in her prom dress. And it was not a pile of ash around her. In fact, it looked relatively untouched.

“Why isn’t my dress burned up?” she asked.

“Why would you think it would be?” Ra asked.

“Because I was burning alive.” She looked at her arms and saw that they, too, were uninjured. There were no burns at all. Despite the fact she could have sworn her flesh had been burning while she had been unconscious, there was no evidence on her physical form.

“You felt the fire?” Ra asked, his voice suddenly full of a dark rage. Instead of getting louder, it seemed to get softer and deadlier. She’d always thought the ones who didn’t lose control in a fit of rage were much scarier than those that did.

Shelly nodded. “It was horrible.”

“I’m going to kill him,” Ra said under his breath.

“Is that a promise?” Osiris asked.

Shelly thought the smirk on the lord of the underworld’s face was much too smug, which made it clear that he knew something she did not.

“I did not say it was a promise,” Ra answered.

“That’s too bad. Maybe it’s time for a new dark fire elemental king. If you were the one to kill him, you’d slide right into his position.”

Ra’s face darkened. “I have no desire to be a dark king of any kind.”

Osiris shrugged as if it didn’t matter to him, but Shelly got the feeling Osiris relished the idea.

She didn’t like the sound of it. Ra wasn’t evil, and she was pretty sure anyone called the dark fire king had to be evil. Shelly didn’t want that for Ra. No, she didn’t know him from any other Joe Blow on the street, but something inside of her rebelled against the idea of Ra being evil.

“We have business to attend to,” Osiris said as he rubbed his hands together. “Let’s get to it.”

Ra rolled his neck in a circle and pulled his shoulders back as if readying for a fight. Shelly turned to face Osiris and wished she wasn’t in a dress. No one could fight in a dress. Why she thought she could tussle
