I awoke, aching all over and I couldn’t control the shivering that seemed to wrack my body. Strong arms cradled me and the fresh scent of winter and ice tantalised my senses. Without even opening my eyes, I knew it was Belial who held me.

His chest rose and fell and beneath my ear I could make out the sound of his heart as it beat steadily in his ribcage. Bare skin pressed against my face and when I opened my eyes I quickly realised that I was cradled against his naked torso.

Arms corded with muscle momentarily tightened their grip on me as I tried to push upright.

“Please, let me up,” I said, my voice hoarse.

Exhaustion ate at the corners of my vision and it took every ounce of energy I had to stay awake. I’d never been so tired in my life and the more I tried to move, the more I felt as though I’d been run over by a ten ton truck.

“You need to rest,” Belial said, his voice rumbling up from somewhere deep in his chest. “You’re body hasn’t recovered.”

“Let her up.” I recognised Azael’s voice instantly and my back stiffened.

Belial released me, his arms giving up their hold on my body and my skin mourned his loss. I wanted to wrap myself in his body, feel his skin against mine, and explore every inch of his flesh while he did the same to me.

Pushing up, I brushed my hands back through my hair, and stared at my all too familiar surroundings. We were back in the Aery. Belial was propped against the large leather headboard, his skin glistened in the light and I longed to reach out and brush my fingers against the fine line of hair that trailed down over his chest. My eyes followed the path my fingers itched to trace as the trail of hair disappeared beyond the jeans that sat low on his hips.

“You do have wings,” I said, my mind conjuring the image of the black leathery wings extending out behind Belial’s back.

“Yes.” One small word that set everything I knew to be true on its head.

“When you rescued me from the well they were silver and feathered and when you carried me from my apartment they were—” I cut off and met Belial’s gaze.

“You can say it,” he said, bitterness coating his words.

“Different. Why were they different?”

“You mean ugly.”

I shook my head. “No. I meant what I said. They were both beautiful but I don’t understand how they can change?”

“What you describe as seeing when I rescued you from the well is impossible,” Belial said. “I have not had wings like that since the day I—”

“Since the day you?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Closing my eyes, I reached out and dug my fingers into the bed sheets needing something solid to slow the spinning that had started up. He hadn’t denied it as I’d expected and I suddenly wasn’t sure how I was supposed to deal with it all.

“You lied to me,” I said.
