Chapter 7

I was finally alone with Devon, but neither of us felt like playing. We’d wandered into my mother’s fortune shop and listened as the last of demonic shrieks filtered down the street.

“Can’t people hear that?” I asked.

He grunted. “Sometimes, but then they just think they’re nuts.”

We went silent again, except I couldn’t digest anything that’d just happened with demonic, malicious shrieks of victory beating against the windows that were still in desperate need of a good cleaning. “Why didn’t you send the rest of them to hell?”

That made him frown. “She almost got you. Worth it to let her suffer.”

The witch, somehow still alive after whatever torment the demons had done to her, released one last bloodcurdling shriek before going silent.

Satisfied, Devon stretched out a long leg as he reclined at the reading table. “I should have seen it.” He cursed again under his breath. His fist clenched and veins stood out on his sculpted forearm. “Demons in that number means a witch and big magic. Witches like to play tricks.”

“I’m a witch,” I reminded him. I’d figured out that much by now.

His striking gaze locked onto mine and stole the breath from my lungs with just a look. I wondered what he could do to me with a touch. “You are nothing like the creature you just disposed of.” His anger whispered away as a devious grin overtook his face. “You’re a queen to your protectors, and I intend to worship every inch of you.”

I found myself walking towards him, a moth drawn to the flame. I wasn’t sure if he would fulfill every forbidden desire he awakened in me, or if I’d get burned. “Is that so?”

His fingers found my hips when I closed the distance between us. I slipped onto his lap so naturally as if I’d always belonged there. His hands knew exactly what to do, where to go. He ran firm strokes up my thighs, up my ribcage, ghosting his fingers over my breasts before wrapping his arms around my back and tucking me in close to him. His stubble scratched at my cheek as he folded into my neck. He kissed the brand Jeffery had left. “You’re perfect.”

I huffed a laugh. “Hardly.”

His fingernails scratched along the back of my neck and down my spine and I wanted to purr. When a rumble sounded in my throat, he laughed.

Great. A guy who could actually make me purr. How embarrassing.

“I didn’t want this for you,” he admitted, his words low and sexy. “You’re a young woman full of life and energy. I’ve always liked that about you. I knew about you since you were born, was given visions of what you’d be like when I would finally be summoned by you to save our worlds.” He gazed up at me as he adjusted me so that I straddled him. His thumb caressed the ridge of my cheekbone. “That spark in your eye is full of light.” His hand fell. “You almost lost that because of me.
