Chapter 9

Price

Food turned out to be relatively easy to procure. It was even tasty. I gave Aaron a quick kiss and said hi to Brennan before wandering off in search of Lucifer. I got the idea I'd have to go to him.

Even if he wasn't actually upset about me marking him, I needed to apologize. I'd done it without permission. While I had no fucking idea why I'd done it, that was still no real excuse.

When I finally found him, he was up on top of the keep, or manor house, or whatever. He had a few hellhounds, including his own, I thought, sitting at his feet. This area was obviously designed to be used as some sort of lookout and a chest-high wall surrounded the outside, allowing me to walk out there relatively safely. Lucifer stared out into the forest that covered much of Ezra's lands.

"Hey," I said, walking up behind him. The hellhounds observed me but didn't interfere when I walked up next to him.

His shoulders tensed, though he didn't reply.

Taking a chance, I put a hand on his arm.

Lucifer spun me around and shoved me up against the wall. I had a second to be surprised before my wards triggered and tossed him back. He didn't go far, probably prepared for that, and it didn't knock him off his feet. Hellfire blazed in the fallen angel's eyes as he stalked forward.

The hellhounds looked between us, ears flat against their skulls. Clearly, they weren't sure who to defend.

"Why?" He got right up into my face, not touching me, but there was barely any space between us.

My back pressed into the stone behind me, and my breaths came short and fast. Lucifer grabbed my chin and tilted my head back, not quite hurting me, though I felt my skin warm as energy flowed into my defenses, ready just in case.

"I have no fucking idea," I replied.

The heat from his body radiated off him, warming me against the chill air. The stone wall he had me pressed up against was cold. It wasn't unlike being held between Sabian and Mal, except a little more extreme, and Mal was a lot cuddlier than the stone was.

"You know, I tried to take it off. I couldn't do it."

"Seriously? Sabian was sure you'd be able to remove it if you wanted to." My heart thudded in my chest. Shit, he really was mad.

"Sabian is incorrect." He let go of my jaw. I'd probably have bruises, damn it. "Take it off." Lucifer shoved his wrist in my face.

"How?"

He pressed his thumb against my forehead and the knowledge appeared in my mind. "Like that," he hissed.

I took his wrist in my hand and tried to do what he'd shown me. I pushed my energy into him, which sparked between us. The combination of him wearing my mark and me wearing his did strange things to my energy as it flowed into the demon.

He sucked in a breath, eyes blazing. "Price–"

"Mate, I don't know what the fuck.
