Later, we lay in bed, my head resting against his bare chest while he stroked my hair. I slid my hand back and forth across his muscled pecs, thinking of all that had happened. Being intimate with Lucien had helped me temporarily forget my past actions. If I felt we had enough time, I’d have sex with him again just to forget.

But we didn’t.

There was still so much pain inside me, a darkness that was always there. Did mine appear like Llona's had? Was it always searching my mind, looking for light to destroy? I had to be strong. I needed to find a way to overcome my grief and sorrow, especially for Lucien's sake.

"Will you miss your life as Reina?" he asked. His voice held a note of regret.

I looked up at him, resting my chin on his chest. "Her life wasn't real. It was all fabricated."

"But you were happy. I sensed it."

I averted my gaze and chewed on the inside of my cheek. "I liked to pretend I was. There was always this hurt inside me, a giant hole that I couldn't explain. There were many nights I cried myself to sleep." I inhaled a breath, as he trailed his fingertips across my bare back.

"I made a mistake, Lucien," I continued, looking up at him. "I thought by escaping my life I could somehow heal my wounds, but they only festered and became something dark and ugly. All along I wanted to protect you from my pain, but it still found a way into your life. I'm so sorry for everything I put you through."

He stared at the ceiling, his elbow bent and hand propped behind his head. "You needed time."

"Yes, I did, but it came with a price. Look at me, please." His gaze lowered to mine. "I promise you, for as long as I am able to take a breath, I am yours completely."

"You were with Bo." The words weren't accusatory but held pain nonetheless.

I smiled and sat up straddling my legs on each side of him. I stared at him, my hair falling to the sides of my face. "I was never with him, not in the way you're thinking. He wanted to, but I could never do it. I think a part of me knew I belonged to you. His touch never felt right."

"Truly?" His voice lightened.

I lowered my face to his. "Truly."

He lifted his head and kissed me. His arm snaked around my back and flipped me over so he was on top of me. It was his turn to stare down at me, his eyes shining brightly.

"I love you, Eve Segur. And when this is all over, I want to give you something. Something I wanted to give you before …" He closed his eyes briefly and opened them again. "No matter. Soon."

"I look forward to it."

He bent down and kissed me deeply. I welcomed the closeness again, knowing how precious this time was.

We were about to go up against a powerful devil from Hell.
