Chapter Eleven

For someone with parasitical pollen tearing through his lungs, Hades sprang out of bed with a surprising amount of energy. By the time his feet hit the floor, he was dressed in red armor, complete with a helmet.

It clung to the contours of his muscles and consisted of tightly packed scales that resembled the hide of a crocodile. Instead of the usual snake design on the breastplate, the leather there was thick and raised and rugged.

He stared down at me, his brows lifted, a smile playing on his full lips. “What are you waiting for? The sooner we arrive at Belphegor’s doorsteps, the sooner we can devise a means to kill Samael.”

I pushed myself up to my elbows, letting the silk sheets slide down to my hips. “You’ve got to show me how to do that.”

Hades’ gaze flicked down to my breasts before returning to my eyes. “Stand up.”

“All right.” I scooted over to his side of the mattress, swung my legs out of bed and stood at his side. “What next?”

His eyes glazed for a heartbeat before he gave his head a hard shake. “Remember the cache I set up in your penthouse?”

I nodded. “You want me to summon the armor from the living world?”

“There are several caches around Hell, including a few in this palace.” He placed his hands on my shoulders. “Close your eyes and picture yourself already clad in leather armor. But you need to choose something both resistant to Hellfire and powerful blasts of magic.”

“How will I know the difference?” I gazed into his eyes, which shone like amber flames.

“That particular suit is adorned with the skin of an alligator-like creature that dwells in the River Styx.”

“Got it.” Letting my eyes flutter shut, I concentrated my thoughts on how the leather would feel against my skin. Then I imagined the same armor I had worn to the battle of the Eiffel Tower but with similar, bumpy scales to Hades’ design.

He chuckled.

My eyes snapped open, and I stared into his broad smile. “What’s so funny?”

“Armor like that might work if your job was to seduce the enemy, but I don’t want that bastard getting any ideas.”

I stared down at what I’d created. It was red leather and consisted of a fitted bustier that enhanced my new cleavage. It dipped at the waist, exaggerating my curves, and formed a miniskirt that barely skimmed my ass. With a pair of matching arm bracers and knee-high boots, I looked ready to star in my own TV show.

“How on earth did my mind conjure up something like that?” I asked.

Hades wrapped his arms around my middle, pulled me into his hard body, and pressed a kiss on my nose. “Remember when I took you to the pinnacle to eat and you said you wished you’d worn something more appropriate for the romantic atmosphere?”

A giggle bubbled up from my chest. “This is what I was thinking?”

He ran his fingers down my exposed neck, sending pleasant shivers across my skin. “I’m
