Chapter Five

“I’m telling you right now, I won’t stand for it.”

Asael shared a glanced with Zelec, who stared stonily back.

“The aura of light around her hurt, and she took advantage of the fact,” his minion admitted. “But you did tell me to bring her down here for some answers. She simply jumped the gun.”

“So I did.” Asael stared at Charmeine, a Virtue and one of his more colossal mistakes. But no one could accuse him of lowering his standards.

She was small yet robust, and one of the most beautiful females he’d ever seen. Physically, she possessed a bounty of assets that did her kind proud. Pure, smooth skin, the color an ebony-brown, stretched over blessed femininity. Her hair was long, braided in coils of black and reddish gold, an intriguing mix of light and dark that only complemented her vibrant face. High cheekbones, a strong chin and full, kissable lips rounded out Charmeine’s more appealing assets. She had the requisite curves, a nice rack and a killer ass, one Asael clearly recalled gripping in the heat of the moment.

He met her glance and noted the abject humiliation in her gaze as she must have remembered their liaison so many years ago. Funny, she hadn’t minded trying to force his Ascension back then, with her body or the promise of her soul. But Virtue that she was, she hadn’t the time or energy to fully mesh with him, a mere fallen angel. Not when the choirs of heaven sang for her return. But the passion. Asael hadn’t realized an angel could be so damned hot in bed. Only Bethany, his dearly departed wife, had given him more satisfaction. A mere human, yet a woman worth every damned soul he tormented in hell.

“Dear Charmeine, you should have told me you were coming. I’d have prepared a feast in your honor.”

Zelec, to his credit, didn’t crack a smile.

Charmeine, however, scowled her displeasure. “I’m not here for frivolities, Asael. My daughter is missing. And I believe your son is at fault.”

“Oh?”

“Don’t mistake godliness for weakness,” she warned, drawing her flattering light around her as tightly as her white robe.

Her anger warmed him, and Asael wondered if her wrath would be worth another dalliance. It certainly wouldn’t be smart, but he’d seduced her once before, and could so very easily again…

“Asael. My lord.” Zelec’s mouth curved down, a faint sign that he was fully aware of Asael’s thoughts. Then again… Asael stared down at himself. His mounting arousal would be impossible to miss.

“Really, Asael.” Asael could see embarrassment clouding Charmeine’s dark eyes. “I didn’t come here for this.”

“Maybe not. But the last time we were together, you came all the same.”

Zelec choked on his laughter, but Asael didn’t hold back. He chuckled at his play on words, more amused when Charmeine cracked the floor of his hall with one hard stomp of angelic righteousness.

“I don’t have time for this.” She raised a graceful hand and pointed at Zelec, her voice a heavenly reminder that Charmeine was not one to toy with.
