Chapter 17

I was lying on a pillow of clouds, literal clouds that my new...mate...had conjured in this mysterious between world for me to rest on. “Are you going to keep pretending to sleep, Wicked Love?” he asked, while stroking my cheek. I wasn’t ready to admit that I’d mated him.

Mates.

Fucking mates.

I kept rolling that word around in my head, trying to piece together what this meant for my future—our future. I didn’t know this man. I didn’t know if he had skeletons in his closet or crazy habits, or if he was a serial fuck ’em and feed ’em sort of guy. I knew nothing about him, and now a part of my demonic side was tethered to him...forever.

“I can sense you freaking out. There’s always this high after a big risk and then the inevitable crash. You’re burning with turmoil, and I can practically taste it. What’s going on in that pretty head of yours? Regretting this already?”

That was one thing I definitely knew about him: The man was blunt.

I swallowed, trying to think of what to say without offending the only person that could transport me out of this place.

“I’m just processing,” I cautiously replied. “That was very impulsive, you know? I don’t even know you, not really.” I winced when his brow furrowed, but continued. “Isn’t becoming mates a bit...permanent?”

I was about to start hyperventilating. When this was all said and done, I was going to have a stern group meeting with my spider and my vagina. They can’t just go all sex crazed and leave my brain behind.

“I’m not the demon of thinking through and responsibility,” he said wryly. “I told you before. I love the risk,” he purred. “I live for it. In fact, I haven’t felt this good in years. What if we hate each other? What if you clip your toes at the dinner table, or worse...what if you turn out to be a vegetarian?” he shuddered with a chuckle. “The possibilities are endless.”

His blasé, pleased face confused the hell out of me. I stared as he folded his hands behind his head and looked up at the expansive blank sky overhead, not a care in the world. I glanced at the bright red mark on his neck, and my spider preened.

“Is it reversible?” I asked.

“Nope. Isn’t that fun?”

“You’re insane,” I deadpanned.

“And you’re overthinking this. You wanted me as a mate. I wanted the risk. You need to feed, and I need to fuck you again and again. This arrangement can be mutually beneficial. Besides, we have much bigger problems.”

At the mention of said problems, I closed my eyes and forced all thoughts of Spector away. I wasn’t ready to leave, even though I was uncertain about this whole mate business. I knew that the moment we went back, Spector would bring us in and we’d be trapped once more.

“We have to go back, Wicked Love,” he whispered before turning on his side to face me. I let out a shaky exhale.

“I know. My aunt is in trouble, and I can’t leave Tomb and Crow there.
