“Finished?”

I squealed when Dacian’s voice suddenly came from behind the sofa.

“Get out!” I ordered, sitting up and waving a hand toward my office door.

“No. We’ve got important business to discuss.” He shrugged, apparently unconcerned that he’d just walked in on us having sex. “And yes, Ash told me you two were getting it on in here. I waited until you were done.”

“We’re not done,” I protested.

“You both orgasmed. We all heard. So, you’re done. For now.”

My cheeks heated when I realized that of course we had been heard. I hadn’t exactly been quiet.

“Come on, babe, I’m pretty sure Dacian wouldn’t have interrupted if it wasn’t important. Right?” Levi stood, unashamedly naked, and eyeballed Dacian.

Dacian held his gaze, nodding. “Correct.”

“Well, just get out while I get dressed,” I grumbled. Dacian opened his mouth, but I cut him off. “Don’t even say it! Out!” Without looking at Levi, I tossed him his pants. “Get dressed.”

Now that I had business to discuss with Dacian, Levi’s nakedness was a distraction. Quickly pulling on my own clothes, I wondered what had brought Dacian to Hell. To interrupt us the way he had, it had to be important. Was Heaven in worse shape than any of us realized? Was it crumbling altogether? Worry replaced the euphoria of moments before. I looked at Levi, a sadness in my heart. Everything was wonderful, and not, at the same time. He was taking all of this remarkably well—discovering he’d changed into a fire demon, that he was marked and bound to me. How could he be so calm?

“Everything will be okay.” He squeezed my hand in a comforting gesture.

“Of course it will.” I faked a smile. A heavy sense of foreboding crept over me, and I had to physically shake my shoulders to shrug it off.

“Come on in, Dacian,” I called, eager to get this over with. Whatever the problem was, we’d deal with it.

“From what Ash just told me, you already know the displaced souls are starting to return to Earth as revenants,” Dacian said, striding into the room.

Levi and I were standing by the sofa. I bit back a laugh when I saw Dacian eye it, then veer toward my desk instead.

“Yes, we’re aware.” Following him, I took my seat behind the desk. Levi sank down into one of the chairs opposite. Dacian claimed the chair next to him, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees.

“Well, there are a whole lot more. Thousands. We can’t lose their souls, Lucy. It feels like murder, sitting back and doing nothing.”

I nodded. “We need to force Michael and Gabriel to open the Pearly Gates.” Easier said than done. My brothers were stubborn fools, and didn’t seem to give a damn about the souls under their care.

“That’s not a viable option anymore,” Dacian muttered.

“Oh?”

“Heaven is too unstable. It’s not safe.” Dacian was looking at the floor, but I could feel the worry emanating from him.

“Fuck.” Flopping back in my chair, I stared at the ceiling, as if the answers to our problems could be found there.
